    Sovereignty. You only get to hold responsibility of your own citizens, like Jeffery Epstein AND his supporters. You do that right, and then maybe then people will like you as the w…

    The question is not what state humans arein, but what state other humans would be when interacting with them. In other words, are other humans nice to me? I like it when they are n…

    Microchips? A lot of quantum physics is applied here from the top of my mind.

    0.1 in itself is a very good odd, and 0.1 * n tries is even more laughable. Also most people have two fingers touchID, which makes this number close to half in reality.

    The roman culture of old surely did. I don't see anyone trying to claim the temple of Jupiter anymore?

    I guess massively is the relative word. But I will stand by the claim that we can discover/invent new mathematical methods that can aid in cryptanalysis, if not directly by cryptog…

    I think cryptanalysis as a discipline is not massively funded. All of the cryptography is only as strong as the collective failure of all human intelligence so far to break it. Mos…

    In turn I will raise you the following: Why are GPU ISA trade secrets at all? Why not open them up like CPU ISAs, get rid of specialized cores and let compiler writers port their f…
