@AviD you know what would happen if this was like a TV soap. We'd get down to 5 minutes before nominations and @kalina would suddenly appear as a nominee..
Great answer, thank! A side question. Why "she"? You don't like girls and that's why you claim, that most hackers are women or is this some kind of English form, that I don't know (I'm not a native English speaker)? :> — trejder8 mins ago
@AviD FWIW to me, a blog post is relevant to the time it was posted, and if the protocol / implemenation changes later, that is not a reason to remove or change it
@RоryMcCune nah its possible. its the cognitive dissonance to think that scheme is secure, or that one could have a worthwhile opinion about security with no background or experience in security.
@AviD dunno the errata link to info. on gibson was literally the first line of Terrys answer to the original question, how can you have analyzed the thing enough to write that big spiel and not clicked the link
@AviD he went to a lot of bother to refute the blog post, so whilst it's not impossible that he didn't actually read the original QA and follow the links, I would not take an even odds bet on that subject
I just had a quick look at the SQRL stuff... the spec's not finished (To me) and questions like "what happens if I lose my smartphone" aren't addressed. the FAQ page is "under definition and construction" grc.com/sqrl/faq.htm
also the spec, in a number of places, makes assumptions about the implemented clients and uses this as a reason why the solution is secure. This is to me, not a thing a spec. should do
also, the biggest problem is that I can't help but be reminded of Squirrel Girl.
for those not familiar, she is considered the most powerful superhero in the marvel universe, never been defeated and having to stifle a yawn while crushing Dr. Doom.
Squirrel Girl (Doreen Green) is a fictional mutant superheroine that appears in the Marvel Comics Universe. Her first appearance was in Marvel Super-Heroes vol. 2, #8, a.k.a. Marvel Super-Heroes Winter Special (cover-dated Jan. 1992), in a story plotted and drawn by Steve Ditko and scripted by character conceptualizer Will Murray. Her ability to communicate with squirrels is surprisingly effective and has allowed her to defeat major supervillains. She was a member of the Great Lakes Avengers for much of the duration of that group, and later began serving as nanny to Danielle Cage, the daughter...
@RоryMcCune Excellent - Also this weekend, we tested our 1st year sample of our whisky. It is awesome already - a lightly peaty finish, still a wee hint of the light spirit that will go as angel's share but very drinkable!
@AviD Heh - well, another group of mates have gone with different options, so ours is American Oak, previously bourbon, peaty, charred. They are going with French Oak, port, no peat, no charring
@ScottPack Ok so before the 1960's I was right, peat = smoke. But now they're able to create malted grain with smokey attributes that peat isn't necessary.
@raz It also depends on the location. Different regions had very different levels of peat. It's pretty trivial to make a non peat scotch after all. You just burn something else.
Imagine that the first guy who invented beer was basically someone who stumbled on some cereals that had been left in water and then fermented, and that guy still found it a good idea to try to drink it.
@AviD I was looking at code review tools and I thought of you. The Phabricator guys have a strange sense of humor.

@AviD I don't on MSO / MSE (I mean I had really, really great ideas but they were really, really not into them LOL). But it wouldn't be that far off from what I do anyway.
