t aes the symmetric cipher used by GPG?
mircea_popescu: there is no serious benefit offered by a key larger than 4096. for one thing, we don'
t currently have any reason to believe even 2k keys can actually be factored.
davout: also it's weird that this isn'
t some sort of constant
shinohai: I certainly don'
t want to do anything that compromises the security f my key intentionally.
fromphuctor: so I don'
t gain much by just running it locally without P
fromphuctor: and do I need P if I don'
t particularly care about collisions?
mircea_popescu: cazalla yes, very amusing how the stupid brain doesn'
t merely fail to work, but manages to work contrary
t osense. you'd think this has to be engineered, but apparently iot comes naturally
mircea_popescu: "Our Solutions Leadership About Us Careers News Contact" who the fuck thought this is how you do it ? it's almost like the soviet butcher, "we're the advertising shop, we don'
t have publishers. fish is what they don'
t have in the shop down the street"

t expected to explain themselves.
mircea_popescu: im unconvinced this is stotting. i don'
t dispute it could be called that, but then again anything could.
decimation: "That means that we don'
t have any other buildings. It's equivalent to taking Frank Gehry, who is considered the world's most famous architect by now and who is considered to be in the same league as Jørn Utzon regarding doing magic aesthetics and magic buildings. ... That's the cost of the Sydney Opera House. It was not a success; it was a huge failure, in those terms. "
decimation: but this isn'
t a simple matter either, obviously
mircea_popescu: and then mom asked "in what currency" and i said "doesn'
t matter"
mircea_popescu: i don'
t get something. what does having more satellites help ? you still have the same problems of intsat whether there's ten or ten thousand.
mircea_popescu: decimation isn'
t he the original "how to make a small fortune ? start with a big one" ?

t all that similar to other BSD

t figure out how to install the game
BingoBoingo: Seriously people were like "It's a misdemeanor don'
t fight it." I'm like "It's a misdemeanor and I'm white. They prolly don'

t give 50k to random unknown schmuck without a wot for the obvious reasons, regardless what they can or could do.
BingoBoingo: Lawyers who can reliably contain problems don'
t const $maxint. The only lawyers who charge $maxint aren'
t charging for their lawyering, but marketing. Hence Ulbricht hiring the maliciously incompetent Dratel snake.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, i'll listen sympathetically to any programmer that can'
t feed himself ; and i'll be amused at any programmer that "but oprah!". the field's over there, and it takes all comers. don'
t mind the manure.
mircea_popescu: because their 2bn is conditionally theirs on the understanding not that it won'
t get used "for terrorism",

t need any money anyway, look at what google revenue is!"
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, THE DOCTOR isn'
t seeing jack of all that.
mircea_popescu: there are two overlapping misguiding things here. one is, the tournament market. you wouldn'
