Humans are incapable of securely storing high-quality cryptographic keys, and they have unacceptable speed and accuracy when performing cryptographic operations. (They are also large, expensive to maintain, difficult to manage, and they pollute the environment. It is astonishing that these devices continue to be manufactured and deployed. But they are sufficiently pervasive that we must design our protocols around their limitations.)
Charlie KaufmanIt occurred to me that every work of art is a synecdoche, there's no way around it. Every creative work that someone does can only represent an aspect of the whole of something. I can't think of an exception to that.

Charlie KaufmanSay who you are, really say it in your life and in your work. Tell someone out there who is lost, someone not yet born, someone who wonโt be born for 500 years. Your writing will be a record of your time. It canโt help but be that. But more importantly, if youโre honest about who you are, youโll help that person be less lonely in their world because that person will recognise him or herself in you and that will give them hope.
