  • It’s not really passive income, though. You have to get people in there and interview them. Even if you just spend 10 minutes per applicant, that’s already 600 minutes, or 10 hours. So yes, this is a decent hourly wage, at least until word gets around about what you’re doing, which it will, because what kind of job interview is done in 10 minutes? Not one where you actually have a chance.

    And yes, I do realize this post is most likely a joke. Still fun to reply to, though.
















  • No, it is not security through obscurity. It’s a message signature algorithm, which are used in cryptography all the time.

    Yes it is. The scheme is that when you take a picture, the camera signs said picture. The key is stored somewhere in the camera. Hence the secrecy of the key hinges on the the attacker not knowing how the camera accesses the key. Once the attacker knows that, they can get the key from the camera. Therefore, security hinges on the secrecy of the camera design/protocol used by the camera to access the key, in addition to the secrecy of the key. Therefore, it is security by obscurity.
