My understanding is that we obligated Japanese & Korean auto makers to open some plants in Canada/NAFTA/USMCA in order to gain access to our market. I don’t see why the requirements should be any different for Chinese automakers.

I think the tariffs we applied to BYD were different because China bad and it was done to placate the USA. I don’t think we should single out China to placate America (especially if it doesn’t work).

So how does generating a one time pad from mutually accessible data fit into this scheme. Is the pad the cipher or the key?

If two people agreed that the pad would be the output of a particular pRNG given the 3rd paragraph of the second article on the third page of that day’s newspaper as a seed.

The attack vector would be shortcomings in the pRNG I guess? Which could result in the possibility of some sort of statistical language attack?

Or the attacker could guess the newspaper text & algorithm.

Neat, yeah Wikipedia says steam cipher approximate one time pads but can also be completely insecure.

I think it would take one hell of an effort to crack, it would be like 3MB encryption right? Or if they guessed the scheme they could try all mp3s ever torrented XOR’ed in every possible combination.

Idk I think there’s something workable there but I only having a casual knowledge

Also I think OP wanted pen and paper so maybe use a book instead digital files.

I’m certainly not an expert.

But could you generate pads from mutually accessible data sources?

Like use hit_me_baby_one_more_time_not_a_virus.mp3 appended with a password, as a seed in a pseudo random number generating algorithm, then do the same thing with another data source, repeat however many times, then XOR the generated numbers together, and use the result as a pad?

I think schopenhauer’s quote:

to overcome difficulties if to experience the full delight of existence context

is a corollary of sorts.

This is my concern. Not that he wants to manipulate her to harm her, but that he wants to “save her”. Her being subjected to that pressure could seriously damage her relationship with her family.
