Side-note: your observation may be valid for this case, but not in the case of backdoored encryption. Backdoored encryption is exactly a pre-emptive action. Relevant b/c I think the real worry in this case is that the…

What you're saying makes perfect sense, but law is weird. I would probably talk to a lawyer before assuming that something technically obvious is actually interpreted correctly by existing law. Sure, if we were all…

I can't speak for chemistry or physics, but that must be an incredibly poor mathematics program? I can't remember seeing anything past calc on yahoo answers and those answers were almost always wrong, or correct but…
social sciences and natural sciences have pretty much always had vastly different standards for what is acceptable. Getting 5 sigmas in many sorts of psychological studies would be pretty much impossible. I very much…

ceteris paribus i.e. unicorns and rainbows. You're essentially just responding to every response to your posts with "yeah but more assumptions make it true!"
I think you've misinterpreted me. The problem is not that security work isn't interesting. The problem is that the sorts of security-related things a teacher/parent is most likely to point their children to (most likely…
Children committing crimes using computers is a real problem and should not be disregarded. See the last portion of "Reflections on Trusting Trust". That said, this webpage is dangerous and misleading for a lot of…
