> A NOBUS backdoor in an asymmetric primitive that looks like "X% of all keys is weak"
That’s not a NOBUS backdoor. It’s a different type of backdoor and I’m pointing out that proving there is no NOBUS backdoor doesn’t mean there’s no other backdoor.
It’s a counterexample that I came up with in 5 minutes, not a proof that it’s useful to a state actor.
Saying that there's no "Nobody but us backdoor" to prove there's *no* backdoor of *any kind* is clearly naive at best, dishonest at worst.
As an example - if there's a weakness that affects 50% of keys (replace with whatever hypothetical number), NSA can make sure it doesn't use those affected keys but still retain the ability to decrypt 50% of everyone else's communications. And using the entropy analysis from this post, that would require 1 bit hidden in the parameters which is clearly within the entropy budget.
Exactly. Sometimes I need "determinism" in my queries (ie. I understand how my search query shapes the results) because I know what I'm looking for. Other times I need help exploring the result space.
Importantly, *I* know which situation I'm in and I can choose which tool satisfies it.
67 feels different. The vim/emacs gag feels authentic in the way that someone surrounded by cs/vim/emacs/unix culture would want to stir the pot playfully. "Do a barrel roll" similarly feels like something culturally relevant to whoever implemented it.
No one involved in implementing 67 is of the age group where it was culturally significant so it feels like trying to jump on a bandwagon to feel relevant. And also making the screen shake was the best they could come up with?
Or I'm just looking for excuses to justify my idea that old Google was cool ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄
“Tramways” are a specific type of road dedicated for trams, separated by dividers. “Tram lanes” are regular roads with tracks that are for exclusive use by trams, usually for part of the day and shared with cars for the rest.
The majority of the tram network is on roads shared with regular vehicle traffic (ie. neither a tramway nor a tram lane).
When trams are moving on shared roads they have no right of way special to them EXCEPT at roundabouts.
(I also know a PTV tram operator who lost their job for rear ending a car that suddenly stopped to turn right)

You already found the answer.
To me, all of ()[]{} (and depending on context <>) are “brackets” in the sense that they bracket whatever is between them. Then a brace is a single side of a bracket (ie. opening brace plus closing brace make a bracket).
So to distinguish between the different brackets/braces you use “round”, “square”, “curly” or “angled” respectively. And “round” is the default so you often skip specifying that.
That’s been the convention in programming and maths everywhere I’ve worked outside America (in English).
