Obviously Canada wouldn’t be allowed statehood.

I think the real question is what are Americans willing to sacrifice in terms of civil rights to subdue Canadian insurrectionary impulses.

America could conquer/economically annex Canada’s territory, but to conquer Canadians is a separate question. I think it would take a 10+ year suspension of civil rights in America to achieve.

So how does generating a one time pad from mutually accessible data fit into this scheme. Is the pad the cipher or the key?

If two people agreed that the pad would be the output of a particular pRNG given the 3rd paragraph of the second article on the third page of that day’s newspaper as a seed.

The attack vector would be shortcomings in the pRNG I guess? Which could result in the possibility of some sort of statistical language attack?

Or the attacker could guess the newspaper text & algorithm.

Neat, yeah Wikipedia says steam cipher approximate one time pads but can also be completely insecure.

I think it would take one hell of an effort to crack, it would be like 3MB encryption right? Or if they guessed the scheme they could try all mp3s ever torrented XOR’ed in every possible combination.

Idk I think there’s something workable there but I only having a casual knowledge

Also I think OP wanted pen and paper so maybe use a book instead digital files.

I’m certainly not an expert.

But could you generate pads from mutually accessible data sources?

Like use hit_me_baby_one_more_time_not_a_virus.mp3 appended with a password, as a seed in a pseudo random number generating algorithm, then do the same thing with another data source, repeat however many times, then XOR the generated numbers together, and use the result as a pad?

I was told there was no such thing as a shortage in a free market, why won’t the executive branch embrace free market economics?

What unhealthy eating habit are you indulging in at 21:45?

This is my concern. Not that he wants to manipulate her to harm her, but that he wants to “save her”. Her being subjected to that pressure could seriously damage her relationship with her family.

Ahh yes sexual harassment for hire. Great idea. Maybe we should have an MMA experience we can order for our foes too.

Can you elaborate?

Downvote away but you know it’s true.

You don’t know what others know. Building codes vary tremendously between regions. Imo zoning and real estate speculation are MUCH more significant drivers than the cost of design and construction. But my opinion is based on my experiences in my region.

Yeah I thought the same about depose.

I reckon if you’re doing the work involved in managing a rental property yourself, you’re doing work and providing a service.

If you expect an employee/contractor to do all that for you, but to still collect profits: what would you say you do here?

I support robust enforcement of anti hate speech laws. In fact I’ve reported hate speech/ hatecrime to the police before.

We’re not talking about laws, we’re talking about social media platform policies.

Social media platforms connect people from regions with different hatespeech laws so " enforcing hatespeech laws" is impossible to do consistently.

If users engage in crimes using the platform they are subject to the laws that they are subject to.

I don’t care that it’s legal to advocate for genocide where a preacher is located, or at the corporation’s preferred jurisdiction, I don’t want my son reading it.

The question was: is there a way a platform can be totally free speech and stop hate speech. I think the answer is “kinda”

I think it may be possible if you understand a difference between the right to speak and the right to be heard.

Ie the right to say something doesn’t create an obligation in others to hear it, nor to hear you in the future.

If I stand up on a milk crate in the middle of a city park to preach the glory of closed source operating systems, it doesn’t infringe my right to free speech if someone posts a sign that says “Microsoft shill ahead” and offers earplugs at the park entrance. People can choose to believe the sign or not.

A social media platform could automate the signs and earplugs. By allowing users to set thresholds of the discourse acceptable to them on different topics, and the platform could evaluate (through data analysis or crowd sourced feedback) whether comments and/or commenters met that threshold.

I think this would largely stop people from experiencing hatespeech, (one they had their thresholds appropriately dialed in) and disincentivize hatespeech without actually infringing anybody’s right to say whatever they want.

There would definitely be challenges though.

If a person wants to be protected from experiencing hatespeech they need to empower some-one/thing to censor media for them which is a risk.

Properly evaluating content for hatespeech/ otherwise objectionable speech is difficult. Upvotes and downvotes are an attempt to do this in a very coarse way. That/this system assumes that all users have a shared view of what content is worth seeing on a given topic and that all votes are equally credible. In a small community of people, with similar values, that aren’t trying to manipulate the system, it’s a reasonable approach. It doesn’t scale that well.

Yeah I agree that can’t keep him locked up, but could they jail him, because honestly that isn’t nothing. Obviously it’s career suicide for anyone involved but you know.

It seems he bought Twitter and successfully traded twitter’s market cap into right wing populist influence (RWPI) [and presumably a capital gains deduction], and now RWPI into governmental influence.

Melania Trump too right?

Yeah,

A woman at a party hoping to bag a dying rich husband retains the right not to be groped/assaulted or raped.

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the modeling industry as a whole was proved to be a sex abuse conspiracy from the get go. Like create this image in the media of beautiful women becoming glamorous successful models that marry dying billionaires, tell them that they have to network at fancy parties where the industry moguls are, convince them to ingratiate themselves to the moguls however they can…

I think its like any other utility (water or electricity or methane) except that you pay for the generation separately. So imagine that for electricity you pay a service fee to the grid operator to keep your connection capable of a certain amperage, and you separately pay the hydroelectric dam for the power you use.

ISPs are the grid operator saying, yes you pay for 200 amp service but you’ve already bought enough power this month. Don’t run your AC for the rest of the month.

Yeah that sounds like what was explained to me
