mircea_popescu: The Yes Men are a culture jamming activist duo and network of supporters created by Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos.[1] Through actions of tactical media,[citation needed] the Yes Men primarily aim to raise awareness about what they consider problematic social and political issues. To date, the duo has produced three films: The Yes Men (2003), The Yes Men Fix the World (2009)[1] and The Yes Men Are Revolting (2014). In these fi
mircea_popescu: in other "fat women pictures and other non-news", retardopedia has a lengthy article on nobody in particular :

mircea_popescu: phf incidentally, you happy with the log ? am i moving links over ?
mircea_popescu: anyway. tibet used to be, roughly speaking, southern california of china. it got the mongolian hordes in the midwest all occupied, and more likely to put up with the emperor in washingtonjing.
mircea_popescu: not exactly useless. in socialism, political posturing is the first and often only "useful" activity.
mircea_popescu: kinda clashes with the derpage about how "the fsf doesn't consult rms because he's too slow for school"

mircea_popescu: yeah why i said pretty thoroughly infested. and since few others have the 35 problem...
mircea_popescu: some people just LIKE to see stuff like " just use 65537" " just use nacl" etc.
mircea_popescu: also compare and contrast with the centralizing windows mind discussed earlier today.
mircea_popescu: phf seeing how they aren'\t paying me to secure them, whether it's hot or cold makes no diff.
mircea_popescu: 5. Scolding answer: if you have to ask, please don't try to implement any of this yourself. It is very difficult to get RSA right.
mircea_popescu: 4. Long-term answer: don't use RSA. RSA is well on its way to obsolescence. Most problems you'd ever want to solve with RSA are better solved with Curve25519 (for DH) and Ed25519 (for signing). Not coincidentally, these are the algorithms implemented by Nacl, the only crypto library you should consider using.
mircea_popescu: 3. Best-practice answer: just use 65537, in all cases. The other popular answer is 3, which is mathematically fine, but leaves less room for implementation error; there are some implementation flaws for which attacks are untenable with e=65537.
mircea_popescu: 2. Pragmatic answer: prime numbers are generally coprime with the modulus, and so they're an easy answer, and so RSA public exponents tend to be prime.
mircea_popescu: 1. Technical answer: an RSA public exponent needs to be coprime with the modulus, which is not the same as requiring that it be prime.
mircea_popescu: let's play a little "guess the address of the scum pond" : Should an RSA public exponent be prime?

mircea_popescu: past year’s experiences, plan the coming year’s work and elect a Leadership Committee to apply what we’ve decided. Like a coop, we pay dues, buy equipment and then we all use that equipment as we need to for websites, email, email lists, and just about everything else we do on the Internet. As a movement organization, we participate in (and often lead) campaigns, struggles, coalitions and network of left, progressive an
