What this talk is about

A project I did called HuRandom

(https://github.com/ElijahCaine/huRandom) :: (http://hurandom.elijahcaine.me)


  1. Analyzing your data with python*
  2. Finding trolls**

* The easy part

** The fun part

More about the project

So it's like...

$ ls /dev/*rand*
/dev/random /dev/urandom /dev/hurandom

Get it?


I wanted to know how 'random' the Human Random number generator was.

Why do this talk?

To share with you the beauty of collective human endevor.

... and how to deal with those f*cking trolls.
