it is great that so many smart crypto people write cryptography books but I'm now looking through a third with typos at really inconvenient spots where it affects your understanding of something hard. I guess they're checking I was paying attention...

something fun about C++ is sometimes you see something that looks like a silly mistake in code but you need to check with like 5 people because it might just be one of those C++ things that's really weird and there's multiple blog posts worth of stuff to understand
google maps generally assumes i have a higher aversion to walking than I do but I strongly doubt there are people who think 1 less minute of walking on a 40 minute walk is worth another bus transfer.
ran into an interesting situation with Google Maps transit directions today:
I was trying to go an event relatively out in the suburbs, so GMaps told me to do a route that involves 3 buses and takes ~2 hours.
The recommended ~2 hour route was "take ~1 hour of buses to get to the big bus station in this suburban town, then take a 25 minute bus and walk 40 minutes to the place.
Google maps recommended this over: "take the same ~1 hour of buses to the big bus station and then walk 41 minutes to the place"
GMaps added a whole extra bus transfer and 25 minutes to save 1 minute of walking! What a weird way to program this tradeoff.

@JorgeStolfi this is in the Bill of Rights (10th amendment): http://hrlibrary.umn.edu/education/all_amendments_usconst.htm. It's because the US was founded by the different states negotiating with each other about what kind of country to found so this kind of provision was added to make everybody happy
