Melting point of lead 327.46 °C, melting point of Iron 1538 °C. Additionally, I would assume that you have a lot less tolerances for bearing balls than for shot. So I assume that the much better process control for cold metal techniques is

For further analysis, I would suggest embedding something nasty into a .doc. [1] Seriously, why would Dropbox execute code in arbitrary files; the only reason I can see is some virus scanner heuristic. So then they could spin up a new vm, l

I think JS is as horrible as C++, since it has all the implicit casting to string rules, besides a lot of other quirks. ( I am not sure which language I would advocate, probably either Python or C, one because of all of the nice features, t

I did not read the tardis paper, but the mass distribution gives you at least a upper limit, in the sense that if there is not much mass in one direction, then there is also not much deflection. At least in more or less normal models.

At least in Germany you get the problem that the basic idea of research groups is rather feudal. ( That is the original idea when universities were invented in the late middle ages was, that professors get a personal fiefdom.) And this make

Yes, but that is a rather general problem. Best you can do is to look at the so called Lyman-alpha forest, which gives you essentially the mass distribution along the path. And this gives you a good estimate for the deflection.

We measure spectra. So there would be no way to measure the redshift of a single wavelength, e.g. a laser, but since we have the full spectra, we can measure the relative position of spectral features and the wavelength of these features to

The cracking technique discussed is dictionary plus some common substitutions. So the hashing algorithm is not very important. You would loose some factor of speed, but the 1000 most common passwords times 10 common substitutions, perhaps w

Considering that the cheapeast tabletts did go from a $500 iPad 1 in 2010 to less than $50 [1] now, this seems probable. ( Extrapolating, we end up with roughly $1 in 2020 and tablets become essentially consumables one can throw away when t

Depends, the Arch wiki is great, there is/was the German ubuntuusers.de wiki and of course Wikipedia, but none of these are designed to teach you the basics, they are references. By contrast, for tutorials the state of wikis is quite o

Depends on the breakthrough, we know that multiplication is in P and therefore factorization in NP. So a P?=NP breakthrough may or may not have consequences for integer factorization. ( Actually since I did write that, I wonder if P=NP woul

Yes, I should have read the wiki link. However my point was, that Suite B is so generic that we can not really speculate why the NSA did recommend this set of algos and not something else.

by yk 13y ago
Other way round, multiplication is in P, so integer factorization is in NP. And a breakthrough in P?=NP could have implications for factorization.

by yk 13y ago
Judging from the wikipedia link, Suite B does not contain a public key cypher. Which either tells us, that the NSA does not use asymmetric cyphers because they are broken. Or that they have a technical reason for it, like being able to do

Leaking the intelligence budget was probably the most justified leak. Even if you want a geopolitically strong American government, the intelligence budget tells the public how much effort the USG puts into covert programs. So without it yo

Well, it would be a very well guarded secret. But even then the question is how public key crypto is broken. If they can easily generate exploits for implementations, because they know a essential implementation detail everybody else is mis

I think it is a bit too far into the right direction. But it seems to me that nowadays everybody outside of the halls of power seems to be unhappy with the lunatics who run the asylum.

What about the rights of the children? The parents do not own them either, and society has sometimes a duty to protect children from their parents.

Well, it escalated for a long time. The law in Germany is, that children have to go to some school public or private. In this case, the family refused to send the children to any school, and it escalated to a point where the government appo

Not advocating non standard crypto, but if the system is at least somewhat good ( that is, not susceptible to automatic attacks), it would keep a actual human busy. And you don't loose security, assuming that the cyphertext of the obs
