> That isn't what happens. I know many, many people believe it to be what happens, but I know from years of seeing the process on the inside that it's absolutely not what happens in the overwhelming majority of cases.
If quite literally every person I interact with professionally has an anecdote about this happening, your anecdote about it not happening is not very convincing.
Have you/SO staff/SO mods considered why this impression is so prevalent if you’re confident it’s (as you claim) not actually true?
This is a “perfect is the enemy of good” situation.
If the alternative was permanent standard time this argument would be meaningful; but the alternative is switching time twice a year. (unless there is also proposed legislation for permanent standard time?)
> Many of the patients I’ve interviewed, including a lawyer who works as a privacy advocate, told me they’re afraid that speaking up or pushing back against terms they don’t agree to will make health providers categorize them as inconvenient patients and make it harder to get the care they need
There really needs to be more regulation/legislation around privacy in high stakes situations or when there is extreme power imbalance between the parties.
Water is wet. It is in the interest of SK Hynix (and Micron/Samsung etc.) to convince people that the shortage is not a short term issue regardless of whether it is or not.
I’ll believe it’s a long term shortage if DRAM fabs are being built simultaneously with the bleating.
> A NOBUS backdoor in an asymmetric primitive that looks like "X% of all keys is weak"
That’s not a NOBUS backdoor. It’s a different type of backdoor and I’m pointing out that proving there is no NOBUS backdoor doesn’t mean there’s no other backdoor.
It’s a counterexample that I came up with in 5 minutes, not a proof that it’s useful to a state actor.
Saying that there's no "Nobody but us backdoor" to prove there's *no* backdoor of *any kind* is clearly naive at best, dishonest at worst.
As an example - if there's a weakness that affects 50% of keys (replace with whatever hypothetical number), NSA can make sure it doesn't use those affected keys but still retain the ability to decrypt 50% of everyone else's communications. And using the entropy analysis from this post, that would require 1 bit hidden in the parameters which is clearly within the entropy budget.
Exactly. Sometimes I need "determinism" in my queries (ie. I understand how my search query shapes the results) because I know what I'm looking for. Other times I need help exploring the result space.
Importantly, *I* know which situation I'm in and I can choose which tool satisfies it.
67 feels different. The vim/emacs gag feels authentic in the way that someone surrounded by cs/vim/emacs/unix culture would want to stir the pot playfully. "Do a barrel roll" similarly feels like something culturally relevant to whoever implemented it.
No one involved in implementing 67 is of the age group where it was culturally significant so it feels like trying to jump on a bandwagon to feel relevant. And also making the screen shake was the best they could come up with?
Or I'm just looking for excuses to justify my idea that old Google was cool ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄
Pot meet kettle?
