> Cryptography rearranges power: it configures who can do what, from what. This makes cryptography an inherently political tool, and it confers on the field an intrinsically moral …

You are right, I was wrong. If there's a way to evaluate each single yes/no question in a finite number of steps, then the set of all problems is decidable, since any question can …

Thank you for suggesting this example. For the undecidable Diophantine equation Q=0 of n variables - I'm assuming that the fact that someone could hit a solution randomly (by rando…

The spiral was discovered in 1963: > This construction was first made by Polish-American mathematician Stanislaw Ulam (1909-1986) in 1963 while doodling during a boring talk at a s…

Thanks for the answer, it helps piece together the puzzle. I believe there's a problem with this reasoning: > each concrete solution can be expressed in finite length in a formal l…

Does there exist a set of yes/no problems such that: - there's no general algorithm that can solve an arbitrary problem from the set (the whole thing is undecidable) - each problem…

This thought deserves some admiration: >Assume that bad technical decisions are made rationally, for reasons that are not apparent. It could be generalized: >Assume that acts or be…
