We can see the point where the chip is unhappy if a wrong bit is sent and consumes more power from the environment.

The major crypto result is that this taught us about how to design future hash results to be stronger. I would say the practical impact [of collision attacks] is still not strong.

I believe that the will of the people is resolved by a strong leadership. Even in a democratic society, events depend on a strong leadership with a strong power of persuasion, and not on the opinion of the masses.

I'm just, 'Hi, I'm Shamir. I'm gonna sing, hug you, then you can buy my album.'

If you listen to most of my songs, the lyrics are pretty kind of dark, but I like to put it behind happy music because then it evens it out... I'm really happy, actually. Obviously I have my bad moments, but I always challenge myself to not put negativity out there because there's already enough.

If I were really being myself. I'd just curl up in the corner and knit.
