Doesn't always work like that. Many projects won't let you submit anonymous or pseudonymous contributions and some require you to sign some kind of Contributor License Agreement. You could make up a fake name but at that point the fact that they have to do that, when men don't, is already inherently hostile.
Except every school costs the same when you are getting a PhD in a STEM field: $0. Everyone gets an assistantship. You actually get paid to go to school. Moreover, grants come largely from organizations like the NSF where awards are given by panels of other academics who are acutely aware of fake journals. The system is not perfect but it is not "pay to win".
I agree that there is nothing wrong with AES, but there is also nothing wrong with wanting to use your own encryption if you are the Chinese government. They have their own extremely qualified cryptographers, we are not talking about some guy in his basement coming up with his own block cipher. If the situations were reversed and the Chinese government had invented and standardized AES, there is no way the US government would use it even if every academic in the world said it was secure.
The Chinese block cipher is called SM4 and its algorithm is publicly available. It is a pretty standard Feistel construction, if it is truly vulnerable then people will discover that and then everyone will know. That is how science works.
Also read about the first 6 rounds of AES which were "solved" by someone. If the first 6 rounds have been broken, the rest isn't far off.
Terrible leap of logic here. There are lots of things that are easy for the first few iterations and then grow exponentially in difficulty. Take this anecdote about Ramsey numbers for instance:
Erdos asks us to imagine an alien force, vastly more powerful than us, landing on Earth and demanding the value of R(5, 5) or they will destroy our planet. In that case, he claims, we should marshal all our computers and all our mathematicians and attempt to find the value. But suppose, instead, that they ask for R(6, 6). In that case, he believes, we should attempt to destroy the aliens.
Moreover, the attacks you are referencing are only theoretical attacks that reduce the complexity of breaking AES from 2^128 to 2^100, still far out of reach for existing technology. They also require a very cumbersome security model where the attacker gets to observer ciphertexts encrypted under several keys that are mathematically related to the target key. This does not happen in real life.
About this:
It was designed weak with a large keyspace that intentionally produces weak keys if selected at random. Only a small subset of the keyspace has strong security.
This is complete nonsense. No one has ever discovered weak keys in AES.
That is an entirely different situation. If you are extremely disabled then the social security and medicare will apply, that was never the issue the ACA was trying to solve. People who have conditions that are expensive to treat but if you treat them you can live a normal life are who benefit from the pre-existing condition regulations.
Pretty much all of your examples are pure bullshit. Quantum computers are not magic. They are just better at solving some very specific problems compared to classical computers, and as far as I am aware your examples do not fall into any of those categories.
Probably because it was the result of a 6 year long NIST competition to design a hash function that was different from SHA-2. Would have been a bit glib to just name it SHA-2b.
BTW: At the company I work for, we already replaced SHA-2 with SHA-3 for security reasons. Better safe than sorry.
This is a misunderstanding of the purpose of SHA-3. It was not designed to be a "successor" to SHA-2, but an alternative. There is no evidence that SHA-2 is insecure, or even that SHA-3 is more secure than SHA-2. It was simply picked because, at its core, the design is fundamentally different from SHA-2 so it is unlikely that both will be broken at the same time. There is no reason to move from SHA-2 to SHA-3 at this point.

The summary has the wrong numbers, in the report it is 12 vs 2 percent.
What is mainstream? Fox News is the most watched news network and they are definitely not left wing.
When President Obama ordered a hamburger with dijon mustard it was a headline in right-wing media showing how elitist he was.

There are 100 million hits for "unicorn," does that make them real too?
No, I haven't and I wouldn't. I am against most unilateral deployments of armed forces. Nice try though.
alt-left
Did you just make that up so you could associate me with the negaitve image of the alt-right? Because it is not a real thing.
Good thing everyone voted against Clinton and stopped her from starting another war in the middle east. Oh wait...
negative consequences of having children out of wedlock
I think you are confused. Being married has nothing to do with how capable you are of raising children.
That is an entirely different situation. If you are extremely disabled then the social security and medicare will apply, that was never the issue the ACA was trying to solve.

Attacks still work against Android phones with WiFi turned off in some cases, check out the paper.

It is a bitwise rotation. The direction and number specify if it is a right or left rotation and then how many bits to rotate.

Yet, some vague rumor about what Trump is doing comes up, and all of a sudden it's "absolute proof".
Or you could listen to the 13 minutes of uncut audio where Trump invites club members to sit in on interviews for his cabinet picks. He refers to the members as "special people".
I'm sure he's going to get right on that mission of removing the political class from power now that he is part of it. Literally lol.
People already want to get rid of wild cats, that's why they try to catch and fix as many as possible.
Being prosecuted for treason = execution.
No it doesn't. Do some googling before you make yourself look stupid next time.
No it doesn't, lots of people have been convicted of treason and not executed. It is not mandatory. Not sure where you get that idea from.
Today I learned prosecuted = executed.
