Sorry, I couldn't resist. XD ^_^;;
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!I love that the "correction" of the theorem (as seen in the Alt Text) uses the proper letter substitutions.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I remember that fad of drawing "cool" versions of various letters and numbers in school. I wouldn't be surprised if there were an alternate universe where this actually happened.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"But can it help bring dinosaurs back to life? That’s the deal closer.
There's other cool letters? Huh, we assumed it was just the S.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.Alright, I'm working on this joke. Alice and Bob is a reference to the use of those names to obfuscate identities, and therefore it makes perfect sense for an "encrypted" app to only be able to send messages from people actually named Alice to people actually named Bob. I don't get the Eve reference in the Alt Text.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I've seen Eve being used in cybersecurity thought experiments as the "eavesdropper" who needs to be stopped by encryption. That's probably why they're not allowed to use the app.
they/them pronouns. Look at my Neocities.Obligatory link
to a previous xkcd on the topic of Eve.

Yes - the stereotypical cryptography scenario involves allowing Alice to send messages to Bob in a way that an eavesdropper Eve cannot intercept or tamper with them, or at least that interception leaves traces that Bob can identify.
Eve DNI.

ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOI'm going to predict that multiple readers of that article are now contemplating building a hyperspace bypass through 47 Ursae Majoris.
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOCan't say I'm particularly familiar with Wirecutter, but it's easy enough to figure out from context.

Sometimes it's fun to sit back, relax, and think about cosmology.
