(Humans behavious still mostly eludes me though, totally illogical 🤨)
We’re not rational, but there are patterns. If you’re willing to do some reading Thinking: Fast and Slow is beefy, but helps to show some of the patterns of irrationality in a structured way, from one of the leading experts on human behavior. If that’s too much, Thinking in Bets is a nice taster that still is well backed by much of the same research, but is shorter and more accessible.
The “key” is the mapping of cipher alphabet to message alphabet.
There has to be a secret to be cryptography. The meaning has to be hidden without the secret information (though primitive/weak attempts can have a small enough search space to be brute forced). But the content being hidden without that information is the entirety of what the word means.
That’s a terrible definition, but “codes” is doing the heavy lifting.
It is not a code, in that definition, if it does not require knowledge of a key to decode.
It is literally impossible for anything that doesn’t have a secret key to qualify as cryptography. That is the entire defining trait.
Because it’s a giant one.
There is no valid interpretation of cryptography that resembles the way you defined it in any way.
You provided a definition that doesn’t even loosely resemble the correct one.
There’s no need to use words you don’t understand, especially when they’re wildly unrelated to whatever you’re saying. They just add confusion.
If the word “cryptography” here is what throws anyone off, it’s not some advanced field of study, it just refers to the physical manifestation of messaging, which a child can get behind.
No it doesn’t. Cryptography is specifically encoding messages in a way that is hard for someone without the specific secret key to decode, even if they know the methodology.
I don’t understand ever under any circumstances having your phone on anything but vibrate.
It’s CBS. The NFL doesn’t run the broadcast. But not Taylor Swift lol. I don’t think she even did anything to draw attention to it besides existing.
I actually enjoyed seeing her in the stands, though. She was very clearly emotionally invested in the game, and I thought her reactions were genuine and added to the broadcast.
Because she’s that popular.
I’m willing to bet there were a comfortable 7 figures worth of extra viewers just because she was at the game.
This is a lot of words to say nothing.
The guys pushing “if you masturbate or use a condom you go to hell” and use hell fear mongering as their entire ideology?
So I didn’t end up watching the whole show, but Neil Patrick Harris completely kills it with his theme song for A Series of Unfortunate Events.
lol Taylor Swift dating a player and just attending the Super Bowl (not doing anything) might genuinely bring in multiple million extra viewers.
The frontal lobe isn’t “intelligence”. It’s executive function, or the ability to properly recognize long term consequences.
I’m not sure 18 is the number. You don’t need to wait until 25, though. That’s “fully developed”, not “over the threshold of capable of making responsible decisions”. Very few 18 year olds are.
I’m not sure if/where else they sell them, but every once in a while Costco has some Puma sweatpants that are ~$20 and a nice thickness/durability.
They’re not for everyone, but I love them. When it’s warm enough, I really like the V-Aqua, because they have nice grip on wet rocks and I can comfortably climb in and out of the water without getting water logged (I think the movement of water is fascinating and like playing with the camera with it).
The other ones are nice, too, but do have to be washed more regularly because they absorb sweat and start to stink if you don’t.
I have a couple pairs now of Vibram Five Fingers and they’re the most comfortable shoes I own. My feet are pretty wide, so my choices tend to be “squash the fuck out of my little toe” or “wide but heavy as hell”. I went barefoot places I could regularly (and still do camping when putting on shoes is too much for a short trip or whatever), but these let me do similar everywhere. I find hiking a lot easier when I can feel the ground and use my toes scrambling over rocks and in streams, etc.
Just cutting off the bottom of your shoes is dumb as hell.
Because they’re not similarly huge.
Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce, and the fact that she’s going to be watching (not performing) the Super Bowl is going to add a huge number of eyeballs. To the biggest event in the country.
When there was a giant Ralph made up of virus clone Ralphs destroying everything in sight.
Good thing we have the power of friends or whatever.
If you don’t immediately throw someone who doesn’t flush off of your property to never return, you’re nasty too.
