Why aren't brick houses built by huge 3D-printers, which can work day and night laying out brick by brick like in the olden days?

"At eighteen he might have been a poet. Now he is not a poet, nor a writer, not an artist. He is a computer programmer in a world in which there are no thirty-year-old computer programmers. At thirty one is too old to be a programmer: one turns oneself into something else - some kind of businessman - or one shoots oneself."

Why was this modded down instead of up?

It also doesn't have plausible deniability any longer. A union leader or employer or gangster who has some hold over somebody can force them to prove their vote was cast in the pre-agreed fashion: the person has to show that their session id, name, result and what they claim is their key matches up with the hash. They can't fake the key, since creating a hash collision on demand for a pre-specified hash is still a hard mathematical problem. They have to know the session id, otherwise there's no verifiability even for the voter.

There have been schemes created that allow verifiability along with deniability , but they are complex and expensive (in physical equipment terms) and I don't think I can recall one that allows over-the-internet voting (i.e. not being present at a specially constructed voting machine).

Actually he's got a point. Nobody arguse about it is using the right numbers for the right purpose. It has been going on for ages on this site.

I use Facebook, but there's a very simple rule for it. Assume anything there is public information. Don't want something public? Don't put it on Facebook (or anywhere else online).

Hmm.... I thought LOL meant "wow, that cat sure is cute"

ASCII?

You should see these punchcards.
