💸💸 Harvest price hike hits business with 1500% increase in bills
｢ Harvest was acquired by the Italian tech company Bending Spoons in 2025, and changed its pricing structure the following year.
Many businesses who pay annually are only now finding out about the increase, as their payment is now coming up for renewal ｣

nice
In some implementations (e.g., smartcards), an adequate reseeding process may not be possible. In these cases, the best policy might be to replace the DRBG, obtaining a new seed in the process (e.g., obtain a new smart card).

I wish people would read Gil Durán's @gilduran remarkable book “The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War to Democracy," to get a clear picture of what “innovation” actually looks like when technological power becomes political power.

@paternoster I dunno. As you know, my feelings don’t run quite as white-hot on some of these issues as most of the folks who comprise my social orbit. But I do find the Mike Masnicks of the world unbearable.
“Oh noes! I should be able to express any opinion or commitment whatsoever, and not be compelled to engage with any contrary sentiment!” is not how a mature discourse community works.

@brayozz no na przykład umieszczanie profesor w cudzysłowiu jest tu już trochę hejterskie. Niezależnie od slopu w raporcie i (słusznie krytycznej) tego oceny, pani profesor jest panią profesor.
Co do pieniędzy, celowo napisałem, że nie wchodzę w ten konkretny temat – kasa była na cały projekt, są różne doniesienia dotyczące tego, że raport nie wchodził w zakres umowy i został przygotowany "dodatkowo".
Nie zmienia to faktu, że slop w takim raporcie to kompletna kompromitacja, bez dyskusji.
@rysiek może warto wspomnieć o powiązaniach owej pani „profesor” ze Strike King, gdzie liderzy Wisła Sharks się bawią?
The DRBG internal state and the operation of the DRBG mechanism functions shall only be affected according to the DRBG mechanism specification.
a source of randomness you're not allowed to seed yourself. how curious
Other applications may use the same cryptographic primitive, but the DRBG’s internal state and the DRBG mechanism functions shall not be affected by these other applications.
a hash function is a great thing to use to seed a CSPRNG actually

The Man in the High Castle s02e06 joins a long list of movies and series that try to visually represent the experience of taking entheogens ("tripping"). They results are often beautiful pieces of art, but they never capture the essence of such an inner journey, and I think I just figured out why;
It's not really a visual experience. At least not for me.

Congrats @gilduran! The Nerd Reich is a great read so far. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone interested in the rise of the tech-industrial complex.
there's no fucking way the evil NIST RNG document calls them "leftmost" and "rightmost" bits

We promised you both, so many things. Walking in the park, hiking in the hills. Strolls along the beach. And scritches. Lots and lots of scritches.
Were you so sorry, when we fell short? Visiting dog parks, and sometimes the vet. Patrolling the yard. And car rides. Many, many car rides.
There were good times though, fun surprises. Sleeping on the bed, treats at coffee shops. Rabbits in the yard. And the toys. Lots and lots of squeakers.
But as you're aging, do you miss it? We could've done more, given you more time? Gone on adventures. And scritches. Did you expect much, much more?
But maybe it's true, you needed less. You just wanted love, there at the shelter. Just people who cared. And got them. The promises were for us.
