Yeah, that sucks for you. But again - you didn't own the view, you just expected the view to be there. If you wanted to own the view, you'd have to own all the land in eyeshot.


You don’t have to own the land. A view easement would suffice.


Wouldn't that be a bit irresponsible?


Depends on your security philosophy.


Very


Why?


Wouldn't the null hypothesis be no gender difference, with gender difference in either direction to be proven by experiment?


We're using alternate definitions: I'm using "my null hypothesis", as in my zero-numbered hypothesis that I would then attempt to test for. You're using, presumably "the Null Hypothesis" as a specific hypothesis suggesting that two populations have no causal relationship [IIRC]. My null-ordered labelling just confused my hypothesis with a particular default used in some statisitical arenas AFAICT.


idanoeman's use of "null hypothesis" is far more standard than yours. And if you use such a phrase in a highly non-standard way, you can't be surprised that people think it means something other than what you meant...


Unless the gibberish is the same every time, the repeated sound of your password will still be parsable from a long enough sound recording of your computer usage.


The gibberish is unlikely to ever be the same.


I think it is more accurate to say that the gibberish is unlikely to _always_ be the same.

I think one can tend to create similar gibberish over time. I've worked on a system where I needed to do a new signup every time I wanted to test a feature and I've run into issues where the gibberish I entered matched an account that I had previously created.


Everyone here has accounts in development databases named 'aaa', 'asd', 'asdf', 'qwer', 'hjkl', etc!


Nope, mine are all oeunt, oeunth, huet, uehis, ais, etc


You are a user of the Dvorak layout, I take it? Colemak seems like it would have a different fingerprint.


Yep! Always a bit of fun when someone goes to use my laptop for an end-of-sprint presentation and types a bunch of gibberish infront of all the stakeholders :D


Do you have no sense of humor?


On the contrary, I found his post a well crafted sendup of the typical HN commentariat who didn't get it.


I think you mean "won't come back in 100s (1000s? 10000s?)" of years. We don't have the technology to actually eliminate life on earth.


Right, having-prions can be seen as adaptive for a species.


Couldn't WhatsApp faithfully implement the protocol, but also keylog and phone home occasionally? How would you know?


Sure, but then again so could Telegram. It's a rather fruitless discussion.


No it's not. The fruit is: use a sideloaded Signal which you built yourself if you really need to be secure. If you're not, Signal is still better than Telegram or Whatsapp.


Well, that I agree on, but that wasn't the discussion I was having :)


I think it was a joke...


The problem with the sunset feature is if you're playing a game it absolutely destroys the FPS I get. Unfortunately I think the shortest interval is 20seconds, which is a pretty long time to be playing a competitive game that stutters.
