The thing about it being super advanced math is it makes it easier to hide shit in it. Like those elliptic curves that NIST put out that people think have an NSA backdoor in them https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_EC_DRBG

I wish the tag lines had links to a dunk tank post for them so I could see where they come from. This one is unhinged and I need to know what the fuck is going on.

Great topic, I'm a dev and knew some of this but still learned some stuff. Thanks!

They cover up the comment text but I don't care. Just have to imagine the post instead

We had a friend chicken business in town that was putting up cooker conspiracy posters and placards for the antivax party during the worst of covid, I stopped going there immediately. Who knows what kind of other shit they thought was government overreach, like wearing gloves while cooking my food or something. Yuck.

Goddamnit that is so fucking cool. I will die a bitter man if my kids don't berate me for being too lib.

I mean this happened to me on a lesser scale. My grandfather was petite bourgeois levels of rich and a massive asshole to everyone. He was a role model for me, just an overwhelmingly negative one. I learned early that money and even small amounts of power can turn you into a removed.

What's the book?

Yeah it kinda wraps up a bunch of that stuff together in one concept.

The worst swear word in my second language is pōkokohua. It means boiled head. Your head is sacred, so turning it into poop is the worst thing you could do to someone. Basically take all their mana (authority, public standing, it's hard to explain fully in English) and turn it into shit.
