  • You could save 0.64 bit per char more if you actually treated you output as a binary number (using 6 bits per char) and didn’t go through the intermediary string (implicitly using base 100 at 6.64 bits per char).
    This would also make your life easier by allowing bit manipulation to slice/move parts and reducing work for the processor because base 100 means integer divisions, and base 64 means bit shifts. If you want to go down the road of a “complicated” base use base 38 and get similar drawbacks as now, except only 5.25 bits per char.




  • If an animal gets shot with lead, survives and runs away, there is now a wounded animal or an animal carcass containing lead somewhere in the wild.
    If it is wounded or freshly dead a carnivore will eat it and accumulate lead. That may be large carnivore or a smaller carnivore that later gets eaten by a bigger one. Birds tend to have stronger stomach acid that most mammals, allowing them to dissolve the lead better.
    Vultures having it the worst as they will eat any carcass and have the strongest acid.











  • How does one go about encrypting a message using a public key?

    Find the place in your trusted email programms settings to add the recipients public key and select it when sending the mail.
    If you want to be able to answer their questions you or identify yourself in follow up emails, you should also generate your own key.

    Also should I use a burner email ID to send the encrypted message to guardian?

    Anyone spying on you will only be able to see that you contacted the guardian but not what you told them. Having a burner would mean someone sees you contacting the burner service and than the newspaper. That said you should probably make a new email for it but I don’t know what exactly you understand as a burner email.
