ascii_field: and 'eclipse' is a kludgy text editor thing, i used it at uni once

ascii_field: trinque: as far as i can see, aha

ascii_field: mircea_popescu: software projects / orgs. i can't be arsed to produce the human names

ascii_field: ^ i've only ever ~heard~, much less seen alive, a few of these

ascii_field: i suspect now that krebs has it iptable-banned

ascii_field: because if so i might be willing to spend a little more time on it

ascii_field: i recently bought an interesting monograph re: sov crypto 1930s-1950s

ascii_field: jurov: su state of the art re: crypto, as far as i can tell, was ~deadly boring~ - good ol' vernam otp

ascii_field: i don't personally expect to live to see it come back in any recognizable form.

ascii_field: but i don't live there.

ascii_field: at any rate, i would not mind living in the 1980s world where serious folks bought support contracts for serious os, etc

ascii_field: wai wut i missed the memo, we're paying inventors for things now ?

ascii_field: i'm breathing unmetered public air, even

ascii_field: i would not.

ascii_field: aaaactually now that i recall it was franz who charged royalties

ascii_field: 'These days the CD revenue is about what a cashier at a store makes. It seems to keep shrinking, but I will try to keep doing it unless it nears zero; at which point the artwork will stop also.'

ascii_field: real-world attacks. No more emergency upgrades. Limited audience for any minor attack improvements and for replacement crypto. This is an existential threat against future crypto research.' If this is boring crypto, I think we should go make some.'

ascii_field: suspicious. But if people knew everything about me, they'd see they had nothing to fear. This is the attitude I have brought to SIGINT work since then.''

ascii_field: 'In a 2012 newsletter column, NSA's SIGINT Philosopher, Jacob Weber, tells us his vision.

ascii_field: 'Of course it hasn't escaped the notice of intelligence agencies that the vast majority of the academic cryptographic community is unthreateningly engaged. In a declassified trip-report about Eurocrypt 1992, the NSA author opines, for example: 'There were no proposals of cryptosystems, no novel cryptanalysis of old designs, even very little on hardware design. I really don't see how things could have

ascii_field: students at my university, I have observed that a wish for right livelihood almost never figures into the employment decisions of undergraduate computer science students. And this isn't unique to computer scientists: of the five most highly ranked websites I found on a Google search of deciding among job offers, not one suggests considering the institutional goals of the employer or the social worth of what they

ascii_field: this i also don't see - where i live, inflation is mainly a hammer keeping young schmucks down
