the central grad school fashion dilemma is how to balance
a) needing 18 year olds to respect you
b) needing 50-70 year olds to respect you but in a different way
c) being hot
@TwitterU Is there any way to know if my coding challenge was actually sent to me? I was told I would receive it soon, but nothing so far. I may have made a mistake by applying up with my university email -- we have an aggressive spam filter!
@Xilefian I believe the worst thing a byzantine client could do here is spam messages that are rejected by a trustworthy server, and the worst a server could do is withhold messages, or send fabricated insecure messages.
@Xilefian To combat that you could enforce some kind of consensus arbitrated by the server. i.e., there is a message total ordering and you can only successfully send a message if you're up to date on incoming messages; otherwise the client has to retry with a new signature.
