I think generally you're signing things you generated, like your own binaries, your code, that sort of thing. The part where collisions matter is if you're signing someone else's documents, like a CA signing TLS certs, or som

This is presumably true also of small inputs, given that the large and small inputs are all mapping to the same space.

Why would they check everyone's ID instead of just the people who looked like the person they were looking for? At least people who are obviously the wrong age and sex...

I would love for that to be the case, but I really doubt that it would be. No one wants a government tracking device on them at all times, but I don't see people abandoning cell phones en masse because the government can get a warran

Er, if I'm following your metaphor correctly, you seem to be implying that if I create something and "seal" it, then send it along, that you can no longer trust it because someone may have tampered with it. That is not an a

I think this is mostly accurate in terms of using github as a way to determine someone's ability to do quality coding (though if someone didn't do well at "whiteboard" coding but had a long history of contributing qualit

I honestly don't see Signal and Matrix as competitors. I guess Signal is trying to position themselves as a chat service, but I see it more as a replacement for SMS, whereas Matrix I see as more replacing IRC and instant messenger prod

This is pretty brutal, because in the end these "chilling effects" versions of censorship can be much harsher than any actual government censorship (which would be constrained by the First Amendment and judicially reviewable).

Try uMatrix. It's available on both Firefox and Chrome, and I actually like it better than NoScript.

Sure, I'm just saying that they aren't going to just be impressed with your awesome op-sec, they are going to seize your devices as evidence and harass you to the full extent that their inappropriately broad powers allow. If you&#

Alternatively, what if you do have such accounts and don't know the passwords? I keep all my passwords in a password manager, and if I'm crossing a border, I'm probably going to make sure I can't access it until after I

This is really not the same problem. For the most part, the people who are going to fuck with your shit are pretty rare, so the chances that one of them will happen to be around and ready to pounce in a dining hall in a good college (and th

To be fair, you'd also observe the exact same thing if black engineer salaries were artificially depressed relative to their skill level, since if you can get equivalent quality for less money, why not?

True, but the fact of the matter is that even if you had no idea where your employees lived, the location adjustment would likely come out in a competitive market because people from other low-cost areas can bid down the price, and you&#x27

I think it basically comes down to practicality. If you don't adjust pay for location in a remote company, you either pay the market rate for the most expensive market or you price yourself out of that market. If you pay the rates of t

Again, my understanding is that they don't care what gender you say you are or where you are on the physical spectrum, they care about your gender at birth. This does not necessitate anything further than, "I was born male" o

Yeah, though IRC seems to have weathered the years fairly well (at least with its core audience), and it's an open and federated protocol. Since Matrix bridges to IRC, and adds some features that you used to need IRC bouncers and such

The continued fragmentation of chat into walled gardens is really annoying. I feel like Matrix has done a good job not only designing their protocol to be open and federated from the start, but also in that they are actively working to pr
