Yes, and this CV fails at being "easy to read" and "easy to find". Typography is not primarily about "being pretty". It's about supporting the act of reading.

I don't want to be rude, and I'm certainly neither a designer nor a real typographer, but IMO this looks awful. First decide on a good page area. The margins are much too small. Regarding wh…

So basically the blog post seems to me to claim this: Ms. Horvath was right with her allegations about a founder and his wife, unbelievable as that wife story sounded at first. She flat-out lied about…

PBKDF2 is an older KDF that is probably a bit less secure (especially in the light of FPGAs), but well-known and standardized. It's perfectly okay.

What about this from the libsodium web site? "NaCl ships with constructions that were just prototypes, and that shouldn’t be used any more." What does "shouldn't be used any more&q…

Reasonable doubt is the standard for burden of proof in criminal cases, not in civil cases.

It isn't compromised. You yourself handed out your private key to others who may act on your behalf. Not by mistake, not by Heartbleed, not by some hacking event, but out of your clear will and a…

Yes, I think so. I find that fascinating, because people usually assume that (a) natural language must be context-sensitive, because of ambiguities and all those misunderstandings in real world, where…
comment
Yeah, that's what I meant (and couldn't properly articulate). So the difference is the reporting mechanism, that allows a powerful organisation to make meaningful threats to protect others? …
comment
Isn't that a bit like Opportunistic Encryption (which I happen to consider a neat idea)? Or do I misunderstand that? I'm asking, because I dimly remember you not being a fan of OE -- have I …
