This confuses me, are they handcrafting planets or generating them with a procedural algorithm?

SC Procedural planets lookin' real good. I think we might be wrong, and this might end up being a great game after all, guys.

Best of both worlds. They're procedurally generating them by hand.

Unfortunately the first planet won't be ready until the heat death of the universe. Quality takes time.

So is SQ42 not going to have planets? Or you just can't land on any of them?

What do you even do other than have bad speeches thrown at you?

Dunno, I enjoy his posting for it's inaccuracy.

He seems to conflate 'encryption in motion' with 'encryption at rest'. TLS usually handles the encryption in motion, while PGP allows you to encrypt at rest - FWIW I was throwing around copies of PGP in 1996 as Phil was uploading them. Also, RSA hasn't been cracked without knowing the content of the original message, but it's not something that we use except for key exchange because it's computationally expensive; after you exchange keys, you're usually using ECDHE for the rest of the communications.

"because as long as it is stored, it can be cracked"

Technically true, but in practice not true. Most attacks on RSA involve knowing the message or part of the message, then narrowing entropy. Most work by the NSA recently involved weakening encryption by lowering the entropic pool, or creating a system that could be predicted.

Anything lower than RSA/ECDHE is laughably easy to break, but generally because it was a weak encryption to begin with; we shifted to RSA in around 1999 and never looked back.

This is why the law relies on compulsion to give up keys rather than simply brute-forcing things. Criminal law. not civil.

"In case it wasn't obvious, deleted text messages on every phone can be recovered by every digital forensics team on the planet. "

That's because they're sent in the clear via centralized servers, dumbass. Florida's been using Stingrays for years to intercept this poo poo, sidestepping the legal questions by signing NDAs. SMS is in no way encrypted.

Yes, pretty much. They can subpoena web forum postings. Not that it would do them any good, because it would be virtually impossible to connect user names to IP addresses.

The biggest flaw is that, anyone buying avatars here on SA, would need to use a credit card, PayPal etc. That can be tied to a web forum account and the original owner can be uncovered easily. A gift card makes it a bit harder, but unless you paid cash for the gift card, it can be traced to a person.

The other thing is that they can't issue a subpoena without an active lawsuit. So they'd have to sue someone (even a bunch of John Doe) in order to get that from a judge. They simply cannot issue a blanket subpoena without providing some info as to who/what they're searching for. Only the US govt. can do that when they issue such subpoenas for IP address info etc.

Which is precisely why I always tell sources, if you're going to post about anything online, use a browser proxy, Tor etc, don't buy anything etc. And use something like Lockbin.com, privnote.com or noteshred.com to pass along throw-away sensitive data.

And, no, you shouldn't be using email encrypted comms because as long as it is stored, it can be cracked. Plus, you can't rely on the other party to have an end-point (e.g. PGP) key.

In case it wasn't obvious, deleted text messages on every phone can be recovered by every digital forensics team on the planet. If the judge grants a subpoena, or you turn over your devices willingly (you'd be a loving idiot to do that, knowing how DIFFICULT it is for a judge to grant them such a subpoena without cause) - and you have incriminating stuff on it and which rises to the level of a breach of your work NDA; you're hosed.

Important note:

- saying your boss is a loving moron isn't an NDA breach. it's free speech opinion. you're in the clear.

- saying your boss is ripping off the company isn't an NDA breach. it's defamation. you're hosed if it's false.

- saying that the work being done on the game is hosed, is a breach of an NDA. you're hosed either way since it's related to work.

First rule of spycraft. Trust no-one. Not even the person you're giving stuff to; unless you really trust them, or you trust someone who vouches for, and trusts them.

e.g. I gave this Star Citizen story to various media (contrary to Spergs belief, The Escapist was not one of them) outlets, all but two opted to bury the story. Then they came calling when The Escapist story hit. I ignored them. And when this poo poo-show finally explodes, I'm going to be naming names, dates, details etc. I'm going to loving burn all of them to the ground for being complicit. I have it on good authority that at least one writer for a major gaming outlet, revealed one of my sources to RSI/CIG. Funny thing is, I found out from another source inside RSI/CIG.

Has anyone explained yet why they bothered to model a Star Citizen's tongue and eyeballs? Did they model his dick inside his pants too? With fidelitious swinging and nutsack-sticking-to-thigh action?
