>>499 that's unethical on so many levels, both for you and the lawyers who would work for you, that I can't even describe it. Well, I can, but I'm too lazy to do it.

But if you give advice that's against the client's best interest, your clients will do worse than the competition and either switch law firms or go out of business. Your will doesn't trump the grinding force of capitalism that easily.

When has corrupting society ever been ethical?

>>502
Damn you capitalism! Truly the hero of the people. But since this is hypothetical, I could imagine some scenarios in which this works. You could provide lawyers to the competition as well, so that no one has an advantage.

Or your legal advice could not be so disadvantageous that it puts the company at any real loss. Say you advise a large tech company to add to their terms of service that some use of their sevice is prohibited. Maybe because this use of their serivce would be harmful to some investment you made.

You encourage this change by telling the tech company that allowing this use could lead to lawsuits and it's best to be safe. Most users might not use this software in that way and most won't even read the TOS, so it puts the company at no real risk. If you wanted to enforce this, you could go one step further, and have the company implement software for monitoring the user to see if they break the TOS, and have them take whatever legal actions are needed to fine or jail these users.

If he was doing it for ethical reasons it could be a good thing.
Especially if they're already in a legal grey area, or doing something that would be unpopular if they were caught - walk them into controversy, then watch the fireworks.

In my fantastic fantasies, this is used to hurt technology companies that compromise user privacy. In my more realistic hypothetical, it's preventing something environmentally harmful since environmental issues lead to the biggest bandwagons. (though really, if you really want to save the planet from an oil company, you'd want to train engineers badly, not hope that having them accidentally violate EU working time directive 36B category D subsection 11F would have the news media draw attention to the fact their oil platforms are killing the endangered cutefish.)
>>502
He'd have to do it to excess for that to happen. Every law firm must make an occasional mistake, after all. Or he could cut his prices to make up the risk.

506 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8247 13:37

>>505 well, it would still be unethical under the rules of ethics that pretty much every state bar follows. If we're talking moral reasons, that's another thing - but the lawyers would be in deep shit for misleading their own clients, even if those clients happen to be bastards.

Another ethical rule a lot of people don't know about is that to own or to even hold a non-controlling interest in a law firm, you have to be a lawyer. So maybe >>499 could pull off his scheme, but he'd have to get a law degree first (which he'd soon lose, along with probably a lot of money after getting reamed with malpractice suits.)

507 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8247 15:50

>>506
>>503,499 here. Interesting, didn't know you needed to be a lawyer to own a firm. But is it impossible to secretly employ a lawyer to own a firm for you? Also, would the clients necessarily find out that they've been misled? Like would my example in >>503 necessarily be caught?

508 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8247 15:55

>>507

>caught

I mean "seen as misleading"

509 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8247 17:19

>>507

> is it impossible to secretly employ a lawyer to own a firm for you?

Yeah, even that would be against the rules of ethics. The rationale behind the rule against non-lawyers owning an interest in law firms is that a non-lawyer should never be in a position to dictate or influence the legal judgment of a lawyer. So if a non-lawyer is directing a lawyer's work (in terms of "legal strategy", basically) that's unethical. Of course, a client can still direct a lawyer to file a legit suit or to take a settlement offer or something like that.

As for the tech company example - this would probably be okay. As long as your advice isn't really putting the company at any disadvantage at all, it's probably not unethical. If you're benefiting on the side from the advice you're giving your client somehow, though, that might be breaking the rules of ethics (there's some stuff in there against insider trading, etc.)

510 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8247 17:21

>>509 I should add that if your advice is misleading, even if it doesn't hurt your client to give them that info, it's probably breaking the ethics rules. I didn't catch that part at first.

By the by, I don't recommend becoming a lawyer.

It pisses me off when people say a conflict is "just about land." As if it's about five year-olds fighting over a toy. Stupid fuckers - just because you rent an apartment in the city, you think land isn't important? Land is everything. You own land, you own valuable resources, water rights, fishing rights, farming/grazing areas, etc. Land is maybe the only thing in the world that it makes sense to fight over.

I'm bewildered by the thought that there are girls on the internet.
Men are gross! I mean, why would you even want to do it, yuck.
Italy and Greece is the place to go (looks like it's another stereotype with >>544 that southern men are hotter), but they are probably chock full of dirty, nasty immigrants these days. And since they are all have darker skin and speak foreign language, they would be impossible to tell apart. Not to mention that men are gross.

No. Am lesbian. Non practicing lesbian. It seems now I am old enough that everyone else has experience and nobody wants to be my first time. I live in a small college town and there ain't too many grills here; I teach right now so I'm not trying to have sex with an undergrad. I also may have legit aspergers.

I don't think sex tourism is for me anyways. It's was an interesting flight of fancy but I don't think I'd enjoy it if I had sex that way.

sorry for making you all read mi diario amigos just wanted to clear that up i agree with you men are gross

I'm sure this is all obvious advice, but I suggest visiting or moving to a place with a high density of lesbians. For example, I live in the Bay Area and its reputation for being a homosexual haven is actually quite true. Over half of my female friends are lesbian and they all say it's easy to get laid here. You can do it through apps like Tinder, by visiting one of many lesbian bars, or even just in your daily life if you're confident enough to flirt with people. Of course it's still probably going to be a little difficult if you're unattractive or socially awkward, but to tell the truth I've met plenty of nerdy, awkward, unattractive women who are still happily getting laid here. (And I'm sure you're much hotter than them, fellow DQNer!)

Then again, if it's just sex you're after, vibrators+porn is probably better, honsetly. I think the main advantage to real-life sex is that feelings of affection for your partner make it feel better. In any case, I wish you luck.

People here might think differently, but your first time shouldn't be with a hired escort. I mean, once you get money, it won't be hard to find a hooker who's willing to do lesbian but... I don't recommend having your first time to be with a prostitute. It's terrible. Awful. Don't do it. I would've much preferred to swallow 20 minutes of awkwardness and rejection than doing that shit.

Yeah, a bbs would be awesome, but I don't understand how you'd get the most recent commit.

Have they actually tested handling of hash collisions?

589 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8256 01:27

>>588
I was wondering that too, so I looked into it. Unless the algorithm that designates that hash is just prone to collision, then the 32 byte hash should make it statistically unlikely that a collision would occur. There are 2^256 = 1.16e77 possible hashes. Say that hashes were generated every millisecond, then you would use all the hashes at 1.16e77ms*(1s/1000ms)*(1min/60s)*(1hr/60min)*(1day/24hours)*(1year/365days)*(1(age of the universe)/(13.8e9years)) = 2.67e56(age of the universe). But if there are reasons to be concerned about hash collision other than the size of the hash, I'm not aware of them.

590 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-8256 01:46

>>589
Also, there should be someway to calculate the probability of a collision happening within in one age of the universe using the birthday paradox, but I'm not smart enough to do that.

That's not very reassuring. We used to think md5sum was good. Now we don't, and we've known how to create collisions for it for a decade (http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/md5collision/). SHA-1 is a 160-bit hash that we used to think was good. We now have (kinda) collision generation for it (https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/967 - read the Recommendations at https://sites.google.com/site/itstheshappening/ for a good overview of where on the ‘not good’ scale it falls).

To invoke the birthday paradox as you requested, the average time before A Bad Thing is given by the time to generate 2^(256/2) hashes for a 256-bit sum. Using your calculations, it's ~1e17 * AOU. Note that the same calculations for SHA-1 yield ~3e4 * AOU, and SHA-1 is considered unsafe. Even the humble md5sum yields ~0.04 * AOU, and I can generate a collision in seven minutes on a five year old personal computer (http://www.mathstat.dal.ca/~selinger/md5collision/).

Who is to say that their hash function will never be ‘not good’? Is there a way of sanely upgrading the infrastructure to use a different hash function later?

Alternately, there could be a very good reason why the hash can't be exploited. Git's design makes hash collisions only detrimental to the collider (you can't use a SHA-1 collision to send a poison commit that screws up a remote repository, it just results in your commit getting dropped (I think)). I don't immediately see that similar logic applies to this project, but if it does, it would be the best-case scenario.

I used to think this when I was a kid but then I lost my religion and now doing math / memorising stuff fills the gap somewhat. Historically they are related activities I guess.

Is it worse to be objectified or subjugated?

Thanks for the resources! As for a sane way to upgrade from SHA256, the first two bytes specify what hash they are using: "the first two bytes in hex is 1220, where 12 denotes that this is the SHA256 hash function and 20 is the length of the hash in bytes ― 32 bytes." I'm guessing they included that so that the hash could be changed at some point. That's just my guess though.

Scarlet is actually a really nice girls' name.

Thanks for clarifying - that sounds like a pretty sane upgrade path to me. I still see confusing points (like that other guy said: how would a BBS work?), but my thinking is now “Cool, how would this work?” rather than “Would this even work at all?”.
