@dionlisle @MelioPayments @FTPartners @AlexH_Johnson So what's the iteration after this? What's the space that's hopelessly uncool now?

@JohnKeilman @wischlist While they are at it, can they also lose Paulie's robot?

@wischlist Training montage now 90 minutes long.

@dionlisle I remember not being able to convince people to take free BTC after my blockchain talks....

@sleevi_ @kennwhite The relationship of private key, public key, and certificate remains obscure to many groups, so security becomes a mysterious property of the certificate, because there's a constituency that is motivated to cloud the actual mechanisms at work.

Honored to be asked to share how we think about #blockchain at 11:40a tomorrow at the Moscone as a Vision Speaker. Please join me, if you have the time. Microsoft lnkd.in/gYgsCJe lnkd.in/gNDhXzT

@dionlisle saw you are heading to the lendit event, @jwendyspies is talking tomorrow, you should go check it out!

@rmhrisk I’d write a long reply to this, but I’m too busy doing an email password reset

Authentication is the bane of web usability.

@scholiumwines check the American section.... twitter.com/menubot/status…

@dionlisle Wait.

@matthew_d_green Every crypto class should have a project to fix a broken crypto implementation in a way that can be deployed without breaking active customer implementations. And teach lesson #1: sniff the wire and look for plaintext before shipping.

In several years looking at industrial crypto I’ve learned that when people say “getting law enforcement backdoors working safely at scale will be hard”, they’re not kidding. I can say this because many existing devices barely get encryption right.

@real_or_random What gender is skynet’s emergent human-eradication network’s crypto module?

Writing question for security researchers: What grammatical gender has "the attacker" in your papers?

Are there any CS programs that offer a course in legacy systems and enterprise architecture?

@Kpaxs Somewhere, Karl Popper is smiling

@zooko If only you could tweet that awesome drum figure that goes with that

@scholiumwines "Winemaking in California" by Teiser and Harroun. Tons of quality pre-prohibition history. Check out the owner of the 1st Ravenswood winery: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christoph…

@tspyz very cool. Where did you find this?

@scholiumwines Theme song?

@SteveBellovin @matthew_d_green @tqbf Policy-making cryptographer priorities: excise tax on random oracles, post-quantum security for child restraints, and hours finding problems with other agencies non-adversarial rulemaking models

@matthew_d_green @tqbf There are plenty of advisory committees with subject matter experts in the government. What's rare is to find a policymaker like that. It's happened--Steven Chu, Obama's Secretary of Energy, won the Nobel Prize in physics--but it's unusual, and basically unheard of in CS.

For the past 100 years somehow they’ve been managing to regulate airline safety, food inspection, and building codes. But sure, we’re special.

@matthew_d_green Otherwise, I’d put BEL at zero, so every C string would end with a cheery *ding*

If you were designing ASCII today, why wouldn’t you put ‘a’ at 0?

@matthew_d_green I’m assuming this is a trick question and the answer is “I wouldn’t fall into the innumerable fundamental problems of designing a Latin-only character scheme that confuses glyphs and characters”

@sjl Kinda got a Turner thing going on there. Beautiful!
