    If every NSA employee has a perfect security posture, any adversary is going to have to take more extreme measures to get information. Better to let them have the occasional un-updated iPhone.

    A petabyte of flash memory consumes several hundred watts and is susceptible to damage from particle radiation. A cube shape allows compounding damage. Perhaps several Starships could be put in a medium Earth orbit, filled (or refilled over

    I'm not sure this disease metaphor is appropriate. Lots of people have STDs, and lots of those people get married, and, as I understand it, many of those people have a lot of safe sex. And frankly, I don't trust many of my own dev

    What could happen if these 10KiB blobs landed on maliciously crafted data? What could happen if the difference between two blobs was a maliciously chosen value?
