A month ago, the pseudonymous Working Group did an independent research project on the coronavirus outbreak in Japan. Our result was novel and concerning. We quietly circulated it to accelerate the response effort. Here's the research and the backstory: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2020/04/21/japan-coronavirus/ …

We opted to work pseudonymously a month ago to avoid negative impact on the containment efforts or on our team. I am coming forward because the work was early and correct enough to inform responses, and we think our methods may accelerate future efforts here and elsewhere.

I would like to thank my co-authors, those who helped us arrive at this result, and the researchers, journalists, engineers, and others without whom it would have been impossible. We hope to have been of some small service.

The situation remains extremely fluid and concerning. There are still potential social consequences to those close to this effort and people they are responsible for. I am coming forward, in a cautious manner, for reasons described in the above essay.

I may not be in a position to elaborate further on this topic. Please see the essay.

$ echo "This is what a hash looks like." | shasum -a 512 aaa9bb8d974ebb7ae367138c8eabcda9bc0d027a736d00bd36302ddef1da609b0b629014e093ef86eda414ae36e64dc9fd23c59ee043de6d99d7acf24f7f4ad7 - Why is yours different?

You want “echo -n” to strip the newline echo inserts by default. Made the same mistake myself recently.

That the word "fingerprint" does not appear within the first 2 paragraphs is a missed opportunity.

I read somewhere that this was common even in 1600s, iirc Huygens or Hooke submitted a cypher that later was decrypted to describe a new invention - a balance spring watch mechanism. But now I can’t find a link about it anywhere :|
