Wireless capability disabled in Vice President Cheney's implanted defibrillator
http://www.cbsnews.com/2102-18560_162-57608256.html
The part of the article I wanted to point out is this:

In 2007, when Cheney needed his implanted defibrillator replaced, Dr. Reiner ordered the manufacturer to disable the wireless feature - fearing a terrorist could assassinate the vice president by sending a signal to the device, telling it to shock his heart into cardiac arrest.

Jonathan Reiner: And it seemed to me to be a bad idea for the vice president to have a device that maybe somebody on a rope line or in the next hotel room or downstairs might be able to get into-- hack into. And I worried that someone could kill you.

It might sound farfetched, but years later this scene from the SHOWTIME drama "Homeland" showed just how it could be done to the fictional vice president.

Sanjay Gupta: What did you think when you watched that?

Dick Cheney: Well, I was aware of the danger, if you will, that existed but I found it credible. Because I know from the experience we had and the necessity for adjusting my own device that it was an accurate portrayal of what was possible.

Ask HN: What's the best way to process a form?
Once you have a form in your webpage, and a user clicks "submit", the information goes to your server, right?
My question is, how do i process that information, so that for example the user can register with a username and password and then login? What language should i learn?
I know SQL is the basics of keeping the information of users in a database at your server, but is it what i need to also provide the login feature?

Startup: Lucid Design Group, Network Effect on Energy Use

Don't Make Startup Equity Mistakes
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0615700624/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk
Looking to simplify the equity situation in your startup? Want to remove the guesswork from how much equity to give employees? If so, you NEED to read this book!

I've been burned several times in my career with complicated equity situations. I have fiercely negotiated large starting equity positions with companies that never meaningfully found product market fit and are now out of business. I have had close founder friendships torn apart during an insignificant monetization event because both sides were dissatisfied with allocation of ownership that was incorrectly guessed many years earlier. I have also worked for late stage companies where the initial share allocation was decided many years ago, far away from the current growth business where all the risk and upside to the company's future now lies. These situations are complicated, stress-inducing, and frankly not fair for all involved parties -- Trust me, I was there.

I read an article that the author, Mike Moyer, wrote on BuiltInChicago.com that summarized the problem of slicing the equity pie problem, and his book's nutshell answer. Because of my history, the article resonated with me, and I downloaded the sample on my iPhone Kindle App. After reading the sample, my bell rang, and I not only had to read the Slicing Pie book, I had to read it TONIGHT!

I bought the full book and hunkered down on my mission to read it start to finish.

Show HN: Torspray – A simple Python script to bring up multiple Tor bridges
https://github.com/gergelykalman/torspray
I made this as I wanted to easily bring up multiple bridges and I have found that this was slightly inconvenient to do with tools like clusterssh, so I thought it might be a good idea to have something that's simple to operate.

I don't intend to have people run nodes with this for a long time, but in times like this I felt it would be good if people can provision relays easily.
Ask HN: Product idea/need
I wonder how hard it would be to design a pen-mouse that relies on the pressure of the pen grip to know when to switch to write mode...Whenever you need to write with a pen there is a discernible difference in the amount of pressure you apply to your grip versus when you are just holding the pen. All the products I have seen just can't seem to pull off the concept of a true pen-mouse. I imagine a device exactly resembling a Bic pen and would work on any smooth surface. How hard is it to convert the technology of a regular optical mouse for this use-case?

Ask HN: React Native Testing Framework to scale apps
We are a really young bootstrapped startup. Most of the members in my team are my students from under-serviced communities in India who learned to code on their own and with some guidance from me a year back.
I am myself a teacher. We were looking for some guidance from anyone who has set up rigorous testing process for react native applications to scale. We had already designed an app a year back - which has given us lot of interest in the market but it doesn't scale well and performs poorly in performance metrics when several students are using the app at the same time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. And we will have a small gift from the hills of Himalayas for you! Thanks!

Quick JSP upload tester code using commons-fileupload
http://www.jvmhost.com/articles/jsp-upload-testing-code
Some of you have troubles getting JSP upload functions in your code working. Here is upload code example that you can drop in to a JSP file in your webapp directory to quickly check if uploading works. Common cause of problems is lack of write privileges in a directory where you are trying to upload to. It will upload to your current web app directory defined in filePath variable. The code uses commons-fileupload-1.2.2.jar and commons-io-2.4.jar in WEB-INF/lib to make it simple. Uploading code without these fileupload classes is bigger and not so easy readable. Here is the content of uploadtest.jsp.

Trustworthy TCB
http://protogenist.wordpress.com/2012/12/25/trustworthy-tcb/
Over the past few years the embedded-systems industry has been moving toward the use of memory protection, and operating systems which support it. With this comes the increasing popularity of commodity operating systems, particularly embedded versions of Linux and Windows. Those systems, if stripped to a bare minimum for embedded-systems use, may have a kernel (defined as the code executing in the hardware’s privileged mode) of maybe 200,000 LOC (Lines Of Code), which is a lower bound on the size of the TCB (Trusted Computing Base). In practice, the TCB is larger than just the kernel; for example, in a Linux system every root daemon is part of the TCB. Hence the TCB will, at an optimistic estimate, still contain hundreds if not thousands of bugs, far too many for comfort.

File Sharing in the Post MegaUpload Era

A report released today looks at file sharing in the post MegaUpload era. The main finding — file sharing did not go away. Did not even decrease much in North America. Mainly, file sharing became staggeringly less efficient. Instead of terabytes of North America MegaUpload traffic going to US servers, most file sharing traffic now comes from Europe over far more expensive transatlantic links.
