Today is the 30th anniversary of the disclosure, by some troublemaking malcontent, of a flaw in the NSA's "Clipper Chip" key escrow scheme.

Today, 3/14, is Pi Day in the US, where the date corresponds to the first three significant digits of the eponymous mathematical constant. Europeans find this baffling, since there, under the metric system, Pi is exactly 10. Several people claiming that Pi isnāt actually 10 in Europe. If not, sounds like the metric system isnāt as useful as itās made out to be. Really impressed by the number of people on social media who turn out to have expertise in both deep sea engineering AND modern Russian political dynamics.

@mattblaze  Nice thing about Mastodon: It's one of the extremely rare web pages I visit where my ad blocker doesn't need to do anything.

@mattblaze how do you find recommendations for people to follow? Do you have to search individually?  |
@mattblaze "the man who sank the Clipper ship" š - I remember reading about that kerfuffle over in the UK back then. Thanks so much for sharing both that and the paper!
@mattblaze I still have my sink clipper t shirt.
