aburan28··on The Chinese lab poised to study world's most dangerous pathogens (2017)

aburan28··on Study shows psychiatric meds killing more than cocaine, heroin (2016)
This kind of "news" article does a disservice to those in need of mental health care by perpetuating the idea that certain well studied medications are ultra dangerous when in reality they are effective when administered properly.

What kills more people than both things combined? Not seeking help when needed

aburan28··on NSA Risks Talent Exodus Amid Morale Slump and Trump Fears
The way they reacted to Snowden brought this upon themselves . Requiring every cyber "warrior" to have a TS//SCI clearance at a minimum rules out 90% of the black/grey hat hackers is absurd
aburan28··on Announcing the first SHA-1 collision

aburan28··on Ask HN: What are the most requested algorithms during technical interviews?
Each interviewer in my experience has their own special algorithm they love to ask. For instance I was asked a question about the Boyer-Moore majority algorithm which is so obscure and rare and hence I messed that interview up. It is usually not the Splay Trees, AVL Trees, Merge Sort it's the logic behind your contextualization of the algo in the problem being asked to be solved

aburan28··on Show HN: Stranded by Trump
Idk, maybe it's just me but the stakes are so high right now that to hide from political engagement would be downright irresponsible as a citizen of the US/World especially with the power we developers have to affect the world. This community's foundation was built on people wanting to make a better world not hide in our bubbles

aburan28··on Cryptography Discussion: Speculation on "BULLRUN" (2013)
Just take for example Elliptic Curves which sit at the crossroads of analytic theory, theory of functions, abstract algebra, algebraic geometry and number theory. It is nearly impossible for a single person to bear the cognitive overhead needed just to understand how might one approach attacking Elliptic Curve systems
aburan28··on Cryptography Discussion: Speculation on "BULLRUN" (2013)
Another point to add to yours is that there are so few people capable of understanding these convoluted protocols and cryptosystems. How many people are actively attempting to find weaknesses in AES, Elliptic Curves, SHA1, DLP, IFP? Also, often times those people currently examining these systems are the same exact people that were performing the state of the art cryptanalysis in the 90's
