The S-boxes were hardened against differential cryptanalysis long before it was publicly disclosed as a method (about a decade), largely because they got the team at IBM work on DES to keep the secret. So it's entirely within reason to

Because you believe the danger of government targeting dissident or other unpopular groups accurately outweighs the benefits that the proposed program adds to terrorist catching. Terrorism is a low risk in the US, these programs seem to add

Changing the incentives of a situation, such as raising the effort required to get a harassing message through the filters, isn't a "purely technical solution" any more than most economics strategies are. I'd argue it&#x

I always find it very strange that we don't apply spam filters and recent machine learning techniques to the problem of filtering comments. If I looked at my email unfiltered, I'd think one in three of the people sending me messag

It's easy enough to make the coupons exchangeable for more promo items (such as stickers, tshirts, hoodies, etc), so they're never worthless, exactly. You just might not be able to buy the project item, and only get really overpri

Can you give a project option as a reward? Example: $100 Dollar Level, tshirt + coupon for discount on items that we sell, available for use on target completion date (which just happens to be projected cost of baseline project item)? Edit:

The lack of data about you on the internet is likely more anomalous than whatever data you're trying to hide originally was. Not finding something when you should find something is suspicious.

The letter didn't ask for "the drive that the data was one", it asked for "a drive with the data on it", which (when taken with comments about wiping the drive) indicate they just want to see a copy of the data, and

The letter just asks for a copy of all the data downloaded on a hard drive, meaning they just want to see what you have copied and named a hard drive as a particular medium to receive the data on. It's clear that they intend for it to

They asked for a copy of the data on an otherwise clean hard drive, likely because they want to assess what he copied. From the letter, it's clear that they don't expect anything else to be there, since they comment that they&#x27

I don't see why food production should be limited to sunlight: we're likely going to have fusion power before we hit any kind of real food cap (ie, limit on growing rather than hunger based on poverty or distribution problems). Wh
