SciTechDaily: The Million Dollar Problem That Could Break Cryptography. https://scitechdaily.com/the-million-dollar-problem-that-could-break-crypto… Usually, you can verify a solution to a problem. Whether it’s using multiplication for division or plugging the answer in for a variable, math teachers tell you to check your work using your answer in every school math class. But let’s say you can verify a solution easily, is it just as easy to solve for that solution? This is the P versus NP problem, a Millenium Prize Problem where the solver will receive a million dollars if valid proof is provided. What is P versus NP? In computer science, the efficiency of algorithms is very important. Most algorithms are believed to be “fast” if solvable in a standard called polynomial time. Polynomial time is when a problem is solvable in steps scaled by a factor of a polynomial given the complexity of input. So let’s say the complexity of input is some number n, a polynomial time algorithm will be able to solve a problem in nk steps. Essentially, P vs NP is asking the question: Are problems that can have solutions verified in polynomial time, also have their answers solved in polynomial time?

Persecution of Jews considered Nazi, sorry, nasty
by professor rat 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

Well-poisoning accusations merit close study because they provoked violent persecution against minorities, which transformed the place of those groups within Europe. The leprosaria of France never recovered from the persecution of 1321, and neither did the Jewish population in the kingdom. The persecution of Jews in the German Empire in 1348–1350 destroyed many of their communities, which had to be completely rebuilt. <<< https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/roundtable/making-conspiracy-theory Reposts etc

>>> tax police have seized assets worth over 141 million euros ($144 million) from an architect who designed a luxury estate on the Black Sea which has been dubbed "Putin's palace" by opponents of the Russian president. The tax police sent a statement earlier on Wednesday saying it had seized the assets from a "well-known professional" <<< https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/italy-police-seize-assets-architect-li… Reposts etc

"Homeland Justice" hackers open the mail of the Albanian prime minister and publish the emails https://www.ocnal.com/2022/08/homeland-justice-hackers-open-mail-of.html?m=1 A group called "Homeland Justice" has published e-mails that are in the e-mail of Prime Minister Edi Rama. On the website, https://homelandjustice.ru/ hackers have uploaded dozens of materials that came to the address of the head of the government, even those that were deleted from the inbox. A day ago on this page, readers were asked if they were interested in publishing the emails of the prime minister or the ministers. And apparently their requests have been positive, that the emails of the prime minister and ministers be made public. Among the messages, there are also denunciations that are mainly related to tenders and cadastre, but there are also offers that have arrived from Chinese companies for the production of masks > According to the Poll’s the Prime Minister’s (EDI RAMA) email will be leaked. > > This documents i uploaded (link ): https://mega.nz/file/w0BWEAoD#ra3wulNcMps-CThOyPBCOVtZo2y-HJFpidIXG29_ORM >

The exact type of flooding the zone with shit that Bannon & James O’Keefe deploy

Flooding a fever-swamp with feces >>> Jones’s entire discourse tactic is to load any debate or topic of conversation with so much noise that it renders speech almost impossible for anyone else. During his shows, Jones rambles endlessly on endless topics—be it vaccines or 9/11 conspiracy theories or stolen-election theories—citing news articles and dubious studies haphazardly and drawing false or tenuous connections between disparate events. In public, he drowns out everyone else on the street with the blare of his infamous bullhorn. As one of his former employees, Joshua Owens, told me in 2019, Jones’s goal is “to flood any topic with confusion and doubt so no one can grab onto anything.” <<< The exact type of flooding the zone with shit that Bannon and James O’Keefe deploy. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/08/alex-jones-sandy-hook-def…

ALEX JONES sez he is less a journalist and more of a curator of information.
by professor rat 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

He’s less a journalist, he said during his testimony, and more of a curator of information. As opposed to Julian Rand Paul Assmange whose less a curator and more journalist daily. GIGO for the garbage-scow, LOL-GOP, Qanon, 8chan Gramps-type losers of this world. Honest cannibals should be up in arms about these brain-dead zombies. Surely not all right-wing conservative conformists can be such fascist morons. Thats a rhetorical question.

Project Veritas: Leaked FBI Document Suggests Anarcho-Capitalists, Oath Keepers Are 'Inspired' by Timothy McVeigh
by professor rat 04 Aug '22

Antifa are very small-target as far as anarchist propaganda goes - but they could clean-your-clock on the street. Good old ' propaganda-of-the-deed '! Now it seems uncontroversial to me that any assertions made anywhere - without evidence - don't warrant any further investigation. So much for most political propaganda from anywhere. Also - though this may be more debatable - the best disinformation is mostly true. Amiwrong? Btw I repeat no anarchist is obliged to defend the free-speech of known fascists. That is a famous LIBERAL proposition so I'm surprised to see it defended here of all places. " Fascism is not to be debated - it is to be smashed " - Ben Durruti Its crypto- ANARCHY . Not ' Crypto-privacy '. Not ' Cyber Liberty '. ANARCHISM . Get with the revolutionary program cos most conservatives are BROWN-NOSED MORONS. Take Gramps.

Project Veritas: Leaked FBI Document Suggests Anarcho-Capitalists, Oath Keepers Are 'Inspired' by Timothy McVeigh

Pol's Leftists ongoing Incitement Murders and $2B+ Destruction since Summer of 2020... relatively ignored by Political FBI, while harmless Jan6, theorists, NAPsters, etc get censorbanned, misclassified, and hunted. Vloggers erupting in protest over this across all platforms... FBI whistleblower leaked a document showing the agency is training law enforcement that anarcho-capitalists and various patriot groups are potential domestic terrorists inspired by Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. https://www.projectveritas.com/news/fbi-whistleblower-leaks-bureaus-domesti… Project Veritas released a newly leaked document today provided by an FBI whistleblower, which shows how the Bureau classifies American citizens it deems to be potential "Militia Violent Extremists" [MVEs]. In the document, the FBI cites symbols, images, phrases, events, and individuals that agents should look out for when identifying alleged domestic terrorists. The "Unclassified/Law Enforcement Sensitive" document says it is for "FBI Internal Use Only" Of note, under the "Symbols" section, is a prominent citation of the Second Amendment, where it explains that "MVEs justify their existence with the Second Amendment, due to the mention of a "well regulated Militia" as well as the right to bear arms" Right below that, under the "Commonly Referenced Historical Imagery and Quotes" section, Revolutionary War images such as the Gadsden Flag and the Betsy Ross Flag are listed. Each flag displayed in the document comes with a brief description of what it means. Under the "Common Phrases and References" section of the leaked document, Ashli Babbitt is cited as a person that MVEs consider to be a Martyr. The same document also refers to Ruby Ridge, Waco, and even Timothy McVeigh, tying in traditional American ideas and symbols with radical and/or violent events in the past. The document says specifically that attacks which "inspire" so-called "MVEs" are: - The Oklahoma city bombing by Timothy McVeigh - "The Crusaders," a group arrested in Oct 2016, that included an FBI informant, which allegedly planned an IED attack on an apartment complex in Garden City, Kansas housing Somali immigrants - Steven Carrillo, a BLM rioter who carried out two ambush attacks against security personnel and law enforcement in late May and early June 2020 during the George Floyd riots. * Leaked document is labelled as “Unclassified/Law Enforcement Sensitive” that is for “FBI Internal Use Only.” * Under the “Symbols” category of the document, “2A” is listed with the following explanation: “MVEs justify their existence with the Second Amendment, due to the mention of a ‘well regulated Militia,’ as well as the right to bear arms.” * “Revolutionary War imagery” such as the “Gadsden Flag” and the “Betsy Ross Flag” are cited in the document under “Commonly Referenced Historical Imagery or Quotes.” This is utter gibberish. The FBI is training law enforcement to see normal American patriots as terrorists.

FreeSpeech: Alex Jones Trial
by professor rat 04 Aug '22

04 Aug '22

In stark contrast to statist ( ' minarchist' my arse! ) dispensers of garbage-scows of disinformation, such as Gramps, anarchists feel no need to defend the human-and-civil-rights of any known fascist. The difference between cryptoanarchists and natural-rights, liberal individualist ' libertarians '. A resounding clash of ideologies! As far as this anarchist is concerned the sooner Alex Jones ( and his bum-buddy and fellow cannibal, John Young ) get shot stone cold dead - like John Galton - the better. Good riddance to all Randite, Paultard, Austro-libertarian, neo-confederate rubbish.
