More info:f*** me.
@deadhead As a professional, would you consider this voting board to be a source of quality? Obviously the schools are many of the heavy hitters and I recognize many of the awards, but I'd like to use this as evidence in a discussion and I fully understand that I don't have the tools to make that determination.

Thanks in advance for your time either way.
It doesn't have end-to-end encryption and instead uses something called transport encryption. It doesn't pass the most basic sniff test when a company tries to claim end to end with that methodology.
I'm going to tag @Beef Invictus here because this is the hellscape he's entering and because he's one of the few who will get this part, but I'll try to make it readable and use some visual examples. A Zoom meeting uses one AES key of 128 Bits in ECB for everyone. Here's the classic illustration of why ECB is not the way to go.
In short, it was built without a clue. I don't know who their software engineers are/were, but they don't understand crypto. ECB has reasonable uses, like when you're encrypting randomness of length equal to the block length of the block cipher. But not this. This is day one stuff.
Here's an article written by a friend much smarter than myself in which he tries to make it digestible for people outside the industry:
Does Zoom use end-to-end encryption?
With that being said, it's fine for average people to use casually. Don't use it for sensitive information.
You’re refusing to even consider that there could have been alternate (perhaps better) ways of handling this besides locking down everyone & everything in the entire US.
Amazing to me there was no weighing of options or careful discussion before the country went headfirst into total lockdown.
I give Sweden credit. Their plan is a lot like what I was suggesting, & they haven’t caved yet.

I believe, the first mistake was, granting shore leave/ liberty in vietnam. In the midst of a pandemic, in asia. That is upto the discretion of the captain.But i'm sure it could be blamed on others if you wish.
The problem is right now in the middle of a pandemic everybody wants to blame the President, the Democrats, the Republicans, instead of shutting the f*** up and helping out your family, neighbors, and community, the time wasted on making this thing political is time that could have helped someone, I'm so sick of oh Trump did this, the Dems did that, no one and I repeat no one was prepared for this I don't give a f*** what President was in office, the saddest part is the same people worrying about the politcs of this are the same people who aren't going to actual take the time to reset their lives after this is over and shuffle their priorities, it will be back to the status quo
All I can guess with my limited knowledge is that because their platform can be used on mobile they wanted a less CPU intensive encryption method to max out battery life.
That's a good theory and I'm positive it was a factor.
The way I understand the challenges of this type of software, my best guess would be that the chief concern was packet loss or more specifically the ability to be able to recover from losing packets without having to send them again. But there are other ways to solve this. Unless there's some reason Galois/Counter Mode wouldn't work, that should have been the choice. Or more specifically, they should have asked any cryptographer on the planet who would have laughed and then enjoyed the billable hours going forward they were going to be getting.
Do I need to post the Kermit tea meme again or have we gotten the point?
Or... hear me out... they could get paid 0% because they’re not playing games.
Because you know damn well if the season resumes into August or something they will complain about not getting paid.
Does the NBA have escrow arrangements and a guaranteed player share?
If they do then legally they probably have to be paid out of whatever income is still flowing into the league. Which is probably enough to keep the league itself running at a barebones level, but would be a paltry amount to send to players.
I think a better solution would be sending them 0% now to help ensure the league is solvent, and then increase the players' share until the difference is made up once things are better.
If the players are talking about game checks though, that's crazy talk.
Porn tenderloin, eh?I forget if I posted an update or not, or even what the hell I posted about yesterday. Did I even post?
Anyhow, the pickled peppers are an incredible success. And it was absurdly simple. Everyone should do it.
I look forward to cubing some porn tenderloin with these peppers. Legendary sandwiches incoming.
