This is not at all relevant to most implementations of DH, which use prime fields of large characteristic.

Although we insist on the case of finite fields of small characteristic, where quasi-polynomial complexity is obtained, our new algorithm improves the com- plexity of discrete logarithm computations in a much larger range of finite fields.

Since solving this variant of the discrete logarithm is now within the capacity of current computers, relying on its difficulty for cryptographic applications is therefore no longer an option. This work is still at a theoretical stage and the algorithm still needs to be refined before it is possible to provide a practical demonstration of the weakness of this variant of the discrete logarithm. Nonetheless, these results reveal a flaw in cryptographic security and open the way to additional research. For instance, the algorithm could be adapted in order to test the robustness of other cryptographic applications.

Actually there is no need for DH, you can create a new throwaway RSA private/public key pair on both sides, sign it with your main key, use the throwaway keys to transfer the session key then wipe the throwaway keys. The problem with this approach is that generating a new RSA key pair for every session + transferring new key + extra round trips is a really slow process compared to DH.

There's also a name for the phenomenon -- a filter bubble.

I need internet for streaming media, general internet access, email, cloud storage, and gaming. Only one company allows me to do that effectively and even if I did switch to a worse service I'd lose the ability to do some of those.

Same problem as, "What if your gun runs out of ammo?". How do gun owners mitigate that problem? They check their weapon regularly.

Cars aren't typically used in life and death situations. Guns are. Changes the game, so to speak.

More than that, you've got good quality imagery from that same camera from the launch,

And just what is it you think the populace can do about it? They have the guns.

Thanks for the tip! I might actually watch that some time. Also, let me throw this back at you.

That is the biggest problem. Other then rewarding the people who fix the problem, we try to figure out who is to blame for every freaking thing.

Indeed. But there is a _standard_ solution.

I understand that it can be difficult for self employed people with highly variable incomes, but most Americans don't fall into that group and should know their yearly tax liability to within a fifty dollars or so at the beginning of the tax year.

But if the money is in my possession, doesn't a fair reading of the Constitution mean they have to prove it never belonged to me?

Good point. But a quick sip isn't exactly something I depend on, right? That was the real point. If one source of marginally interesting information flow gets ruined, there are plenty of other things to do. My mental well-being doesn't depend on 'consumption' of what Comcast/TWC might control. Maybe I'll just take the kayak down to the river and paddle around for a bit, take the dog for a walk or take the bike out for a spin. Comcast/TWC can DIAF.
