Then fork it? No one is stopping you. I assume you don't care about missing out on updates since that's the free work you're complaining about

They charged Swartz under many more things than just the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Just check out the list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz#Arrest_and_prosec... - two state charges of breaking and e

I agree but for a different reason. It seems obvious that Maxwell's demon would itself use energy, thereby paying for the "decreased entropy" with this energy. This is essentially the same as: > The second vital piece of t

Agreed. The fallback emoji in particular is very confusing, doesn't look like a handshake, and is only necessary because of this particular solution to a problem that no one had.

They intentionally make it more difficult to repair devices so that users buy new ones instead, all the while doing stunts like removing charging cables to "help the environment". It's pure hypocricy.

Diffie Hellman Key Exchange is performed over a cyclic group. That's just a large set of elements that wrap back around to each other. So for example the integers mod 7 is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. A generator for this group is any elemen

Perhaps a simpler way of explaining: DH relies on the discrete logarithm problem. That means that if I give you g + g + .. + g, where g is added to itself n times, it will be difficult for you to find out what n is. Both parties share the s

tldr: preventing MITM attacks requires setting up an authentication workflow. Without this, you have no guarantees about who you're speaking to. For example, TLS 1.3 does this by (after performing ephemeral DH key exchange) signing the

Netlify is quite good. Allows you to install Cloudflare's 10 year backend certificate on it so you can turn on Strict HTTPS checking.

I really appreciate how The Economist packs articles full of facts and information, allowing you to form your own opinion, while still arguing an opinion of their own.

Supposing the paper does describe a more efficient factorisation algorithm, that does not imply that factoring a 800 bit prime (like the author of this article suggests) would be cheap.

Not necessarily. Is unencrypted data even sent to the server? That's controlled at the application layer. Of course you could setup TLS and FDE but this doesn't guarantee that your data will be safe.

This doesn't work well on any of the 4 documents I tested it on. Highlights barely anything with little reason for the parts that it does.
