Instead of deleting the secret on trip, and requiring a re-arm, it could instead derive a new secret on trip, by e.g. hashing the previous secret. That way you don't have to manually re-arm it, and you get a record of all trips.

Say e.g. a bug walks in front of the camera, tripping it. Then 1 hour a later an evil maid comes in and tampers with the system. In my design, you could look at the photo record, see that the 1st trip was a false alarm, then continue looking at the data, and see that the 2nd trip was something real.

Compared to with the current design, the bug would trip it, then you would get no record of the actual evil maid. You would see the photos of the bug tripping it, and think "oh, it's just a false alarm, I don't need to worry", and trust the computer, even though it's tampered with.


What do you mean by "exactly the same as your connection setup."? Are you talking about TCP?

This TLS handshake can only happen after the TCP handshake, right? So 1 rtt for TCP, + 1 rtt for TLS. 2 rtt total. (2.5 rtt for the server to start receiving actual data. 3 rtt for the client to receive the actual response.)


Today, Tor doesn't move QUIC so you'd have to do TCP, but that's not actually a design requirement of Tor, a future Tor could actually deliver QUIC instead. QUIC is encrypted with TLS 1.3 so your first packet as the client is that Hello packet, there's no TCP layer.

QUIC really wants to do discovery to figure out a better way to move the data and of course Tor doesn't want discovery that's the whole point, so these features are in tension, but that's not hard to resolve in Tor's favour from what I can see.


Are you saying there are multiple fonts named "Times New Roman"? I can't seem to find any reference to this online.

Vibe coded Python can certainly have security holes too.

If you want a language that protects you from the largest amount of problems, how about Rust? Vulnerabilities will still be possible, but at least data races won't be possible.


underyx was doing the ctrl+f on the original (horses) article, not the negative 2000 lines of code article.

It's a confusing comment. I misinterpreted it myself too originally.


This is good for Bitcoin.

That definitely sounds grotesque to me. Sure not "simply grotesque", but grotesque in a complex way.

It depends on your definition of "charity". If you're talking about Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, Wikipedia says:

>The organization states that it is the official U.S. charity authorized to collect donations for IDF soldiers.

>Charity evaluators have generally rated the organization favorably.[9]

>The organization is recognized as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charity in the United States and has been tax-exempt since July 1983.[2]

Would you consider a “charity” for Nazis or for an org that has killed and maimed tens upon tens of thousands of children to be a good thing or even charity?

The listed criteria for what they evaluate is not what the issue is. Did you check Charity Navigator? An org that focuses on abusing kittens will be evaluated as good by them as long as its governance is by the books.

Wikipedia regardless is not something that should be cited directly when it comes to anything remotely political.


>Would you consider a “charity” [...] an org that has killed and maimed tens upon tens of thousands of children to be a good thing or even charity?

I do not consider Planned Parenthood a good thing. However, I will still admit they are technically registered as a charity with the US government.

Friends of the Israel Defense Forces is rated 98% and 4/4 on Charity Navigator.

I don't specifically disagree with Marx's theory of alienation. However I disagree with communism. I think communism makes the problem worse, not better.

Marx died in 1883. Things have moved on a little since then.

Some parts of the economy are great under state control: monetary policy, military, infrastructure, healthcare, education, safety nets, etc.

Some parts prefer a mix of public and private investment: utilities, rail, airports, R&D.

Others work best with very little direct state control (other than regulations): most retail, consumer goods, IT, etc.
