It has definitely been that.

The tweaks were minor (smaller than for any other version revision), and mostly just the IETF marking its territory and doing something other than blessing the SSL 3.0 protocol as-is.

That's me! Thanks for pulling up the quote from long ago:

Instead took a path of security, authoring the TLS RFC and principal engineer in Google security. Thanks for the flashback.

You pulled a Kobayashi Maru when you got the chance. I bow to thee.

This makes me happy to see.

Can you share the source to Nostradamus?

Or a write up on the algorithm used? How did knowledge of the prngs of the impact the impl?

I had to checkout your Git after this awesome reply. Gotta love Hacker News.

I had a cool vision for “tag play” … I visualize mini RFID records on a turn table that tell Roku what to play.

DJs have timecoded vinyl records that do something like this, even allowing the DJ to scratch the mp3 that is being played.

Serato is digital pretend scratching. Might as well use a DJ controller. Real scratching requires a proper tt and skill like Mix Master Mike. Hell, I have 2 Pioneer DL-5 and a Pioneer DJM-600, but these tts aren't good for scratching because of their straight arms, they're good for gapless playback. https://youtu.be/58Y--XTIRZ8

Only on Hacker News!

you're a wizard bro. hell yea

So what you’re saying is, if you can’t beat em, join em? /s

I’m actually a bit relieved they have you on the team. Considering what they (Google) know about us all.

I work for a FAANG and it's a violation of company policy for me to profit from privileges associated with my employment.

That's why I was wondering whether the service would be legal. Thanks

Company policies aren't laws. Employees could be fired over it, but some would definitely take the risk, as they already do with providing mock interview services, moonlighting without receiving formal authorization, having 2 jobs, etc.

No, it's a symmetric system, they're just random values.

At least in NY, I don't see how this is possible because I can send in an absentee ballot and then invalidate it by voting on election day in-person. So I don't see how they can open any of the secrecy envelopes, let alone count any ballots, until they've determined if the ballot in the envelope should be counted, and they can't do that until they get the poll book back from my election site at the end of in-person voting. (But maybe NY is one of these 8 states due to this rule?)

Yep I'd guess NY is one of the eight. In NC they process in advance, and if I vote with both methods, they arrest me for a felony. The state attorney general and BoE had to point that out to everyone after Trump suggested people try it.

As someone with domain expertise in both distributed systems and crypto, I'll say "not crypto"; it's relatively well-understood and most of the people who get value out of it don't need to work on it, they can just use what already exists. By comparison, one needs detailed knowledge of distributed systems to make effective use of them, so expertise has broader value. I suspect ML/AI is similar to distributed systems in impact and value, maybe with broader market applicability, but I don't know as much about it in practice.
