Ah, yes, the thrill of downgrading from modern cryptographic marvels to hash functions that even your toaster would mock. 🤦‍♂️ Why settle for the robust #security of SHA256 when you can embrace the "cheapest, stupidest" algorithms that even a toddler could outsmart? 🙃🔐

Simplest hash functions

What came to your mind when you read “hash functions” in the title? If you’re pragmatic, you probably remembered SHA-256 or MD5. Those are cryptographic hash functions, and they work fast and well for arbitrary inputs, even if they are supplied by malicious actors. Or at least they’re designed to. That’s the exact opposite of what I want to talk about. I want to talk about the cheapest, stupidest, most ridiculous hash functions you can get away with.

This is a serious version 2.0 downgrade.

Perhaps she's actually cybernetic?

B.C.'s credit rating downgraded as 'entrenched deficits' expected, but premier says services more important
British Columbia's credit rating has been downgraded, but Premier David Eby said government made a "very clear choice" between making cuts to "meet a credit rating" and "prioritizing British Columbians."

The federal #energyminister, #ChrisBowen, has just #announced a temporary #downgrade in #Australia’s #fuelquality #standards, a move designed to put an extra 100m litres per month enter the system.

Bowen has told parliament that in order to assist with getting more supply into the system and to try and put downward pressure on prices, the government will allow a 60-day change to #allow #highersulfurlevels in #fuel.

The petrol supply will be prioritised for regional areas. It would otherwise have been exported to countries overseas.

#Sulphur is not about wear and tear - it’s about #pollution, and that means #airquality.

Sulphur is a chemical composition of #crudeoil; there’s no escaping it. During the #refining process, sulphur needs to be removed.

The nasty little bi-product of the combustion process in question here is SOx (oxides of sulphur), which are not unlike oxides of nitrogen (made infamous thanks to Volkswagen) found in diesel. Oxides of sulphur need removing by the catalytic converter, with the help of platinum (expensive, rare).

Euro 5 is the current emissions standard, but our fuel is #below the #benchmark that would allow vehicles to achieve that. So Euro 6 standards have zero chance of being adopted for the foreseeable future.

It might mean the fumes will make people sick & the lower quality fuel will fuck your engine… but hey! They’ve got a plan. 🤬
