Is there a nuance to usage of the word hierarchy that I'm not understanding in this context?
Like if I invite a bunch of friends over to help me move into a new apartment, is there a hierarchy because I'm telling everyone where to put the boxes? If my pal Sarah drives a truck for work, so I entrust her to load the van with two other people, is that a hierarchy?
I'm not asking this to be a smartass, I'd just like to understand if there is a meaningful difference between hierarchy and deferring to someone's skill in a particular domain.
At the simplest level: An encryption algorithm doesn't concern itself with whether or not the right key was provided*. It takes a key, some encrypted data, and then spits out whethever the math says it should.
Programmers will build on top of an algorithm to add more complex security features. An example of which might be "Tell the user whether or not their key actually worked" or "Tell the user if someone tampered with the encrypted data".
The actual implementation of these security features is different for every situation, and can get quite complex.
Here is a very simple example of what someone might do:
Take the data that someone wants to encrypt eg "hello world"
Put a known constant value at the beginning of the data eg using the constant "sentinel" with "hello world" becomes "sentinelhello world"
Encrypt everything together
Then when decrypting, you look for the word "sentinel" at the beginning, and then spit back everything after that. If the word "sentinel" isn't the first thing you see, then you know the key is incorrect.
In the case of AES algorithm, it has a special way of padding the plaintext before encrypting. If the padding doesn't show up after decrypting, then the key is incorrect.

Hmm, you gave me an idea to stick chewing gum inside hats like that if I ever see them. Chances are low that the sabotage would be noticed until someone tries it on, and I won't lose sleep over anyone who wears it and gets gum in their hair.
The core innovation lies in artificial womb technology, where a fetus develops in artificial amniotic fluid and receives nutrients through a hose, mimicking natural gestation. Dr. Zhang claimed the technology is already mature in laboratory settings and now needs integration into a humanoid form to enable real human–robot interaction during pregnancy, according to Oddity Central.
This seems like "Step 2, draw the rest of the owl" type shit. I feel like we'd have heard about the world's first lab-grown baby. Hell, I wouldn't even consider such tech "mature" unless we had a whole generation of lab grown babies to study. So... where are the babies?
It depends on the state. Many states have no means of direct voter legislation. Some do, but the result is a new law, which can be repealed by the legislature as easily as anything else. Some states treat citizen ballot initiatives as more powerful than basic laws (eg, as an amendment to the state constitution) which are generally way harder for politicians to roll back.
I just started watching SG Atlantis last week. I'm miffed that Colm Meany was introduced as the leader of the Genii, but even though they're recurring villains he hasn't yet come back.
The wipes have no moisture to them. They're made of some kind of paper that doesn't damage the anti-glare coating on glass, but which still has a slightly rough surface to remove grease and dirt.
Soap works, but then you have to still dry your lenses without scratching the antiglare coating or letting them streak. Idk, maybe I'm just overly obsessed with keeping my lenses clean, or I'm a dirty person, but finding a sink to clean my glasses isn't very convenient. If I'm just sitting down to watch a film and I notice a smear, it's easier to pull an emergency kimwipe out out of my glasses case than to run to a bathroom.
At least for me, microfiber cloth works best when paired with a spritz of lens cleaning solution. I have had no issues using these wipes dry, so the convenience factor of not needing to carry a bottle of liquid is worth it.
Can we get someone who believes in Jakub elected as county clerk somewhere in the US South? Then they can deny marriage licenses to all the white people for being inhuman.
