@sophieschmieg@infosec.exchange > they basically claim that 2⁴⁰ + 2⁴⁰ = 2⁸⁰ It reminds me the genesis of ipv6 balooning from six octets to sixteen – "we said we want to have at least _four_ times the addresses space and you come with just two octets more? This shall not pass. I said four times so it must be 4x4" Ah, and unicode's 0x100000 plane being "the 16th". :)
