I find it kind of funny since most MP's have been in favor of the spying on regular citizens under the assumption that they are immune.

Now that they are in the same basket as everyone else I wonder if they will change their tune.

It's always funny when someone who thinks they are a above the law they are creating end up subject to it.
The "command" is a local command you can run, not a web service to upload keys to. So it's not an attempt to trick people into doing something dangerous (although it might not be a great idea to display private key material on your screen!).

But I'm not convinced that this command will answer the question; if you take the TLS analogy, you can have a client certificate with a 4096-bit RSA key but you can then use that to authenticate to a server with a 768-bit DH parameter! So these parameter sizes are independent.
Assange simply isn't sick enough. Based on the British precedent with Augusto Pinochet, and applying the rule of law non-preferentially, once Assange is of frail health, he should be allowed to return to Australia.

To support your point, virtually all crypto vulnerabilities we know of for sure are a result of bugs in implementations rather than problems with the underlying algorithms.

On the other hand there are algorithms which are believed to be backdoored by the NSA (some elliptic curves). These algorithms can be avoided.

In the end, cascading encryption has very limited benefits because the weakest point of a security application is almost never the algorithm used.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow (WebSite) Easter Egg – Looking for Solution
This analysis is too broad-brush. Although London has richer and poorer neighborhoods, it is common for luxury property to be right across the street from much cheaper property.
That's the thing, you'd need to demonstrate how "coffee shop / chicken shop" density correlates with house prices over time, and whether it's a predictor or a lagging indicator. There might be better correlators - art galleries and cocktail bars are probably other good ones, or most effects might be mostly priced in, or house price increases might be mostly related to investment in repairing shoddy properties, etc. etc.

I do think it's a cute way for someone who doesn't know London that well to quickly find likely up-and-coming areas, though and a good starting hypothesis.
The title isn't alarmist. The victim was an ordinary who didn't have a particularly "IoT" home and wasn't a heavy Internet user. They were hacked successfully.

Presumably you are aware of this, but let me spell it out: The MP from that article hasn't been involved in any violent crime, much less anything resembling terrorism. She's just an active participant of civil society and an opponent of the police state. Of course, unlike actual terrorists, this makes her a real threat.

We have the same thing in Germany, the domestic intelligence services keeping tabs on MPs. Of course Germany has a rich tradition in this kind of behaviour.

This pattern, ie. a large loss making enterprise client seems very common. I wonder if its because companies like Starbucks can regularly out negotiate small companies, or if it ends up being a fair trade for the brand value of having them as a client.

Yes, and in fact it's slower than RSA key exchange for the server! The big benefit is forward secrecy because the server no longer has the ability to recover the keys for old sessions (which it could with RSA key exchange).

Because Koreans make great fried chicken.
the theory is worth very little. you could identify two other random density factors (like cigarette butts and chelsea fans) and come up with some heatmap to identify the best value houses. only time-series data could give some indication and then you would still have to test it (and then the market would price in your findings shortly after they are published. this kind of arbitrage rarely lasts long).
Getting blood from someone's finger will lead to incorrect results in many tests because other things diffuse into the blood. The things can lead to very inaccurate results. This is a BIG problem for Theranos.
Exactly. The problem with the general public is that there is still a sense that science "explains" what's going on, whereas in reality, it applies models to make predictions. Some models are very good, some others less good, and in any case, science moves forward by analyzing those areas where the models don't work so well. So it's understandable that Dyson would look into these models and question them. Actually, it's what we should expect from top scientists like him. Not to be a "yes man".
You have to distinguish the sign from signs on trucks (indicating their maximum speed), reflections of signs in windows, you have to recognize the sub-signs which might limit the scope of the main sign (speed limit might only apply to exit or under certain weather conditions), then there are the usual adverse conditions like rain, reflections, dirt, plants, shadows etc.. Just search for "german traffic sign recognition benchmark" to see what the state of the art is (ConvNet).
In Europe, it makes a lot less sense as developer salaries are likely half of that in the US.

Even in western countries like Finland, Denmark, and Austria, mid-level developers and other technically inclined can expect to make 1500-4000euros/month. Compare that to US developer salaries and you can see why.
Capt. Warren VanderBurgh has held a bunch of lectures, some of which exist on youtube[0], where he keeps stressing this specific issue. Highly interesting stuff, even for someone like me who's basically never been in an airplane.

Here's some of the options:

Client generates a key, encrypts with server's RSA key, sends it to the server, and the session starts. This lacks PFS.

Client and server participates in DH key exchange, the server signs their DH parameters using the RSA key so that the client knows that he's talking to the right person. They now start the session using that DH generated key. This has PFS.

And there's same as the above but with DH replaced with elliptic curve DH (different way of achieving the same thing), and RSA replaced with ECDSA, and a few other options.
Is there a tool to output the DH params being used when attempting a TLS connection (not dumping them from a packet capture)?

I know I can, but I'm hoping for something simpler than having to parse the TLS messages from:-

openssl s_client -connect host:port -msg

to work it out.
how short is short term? predictions for twenty to fifty years out are nothing but hedge bets. all the alarmism that many spread in the late 90s and early 2000s about how dire the weather would be by now never panned out.

hence, just what is short term and what is long term? let alone, as pointed out by the Dyson, China and India alone negate anything we can do.

"I ought to at least find a better way than the clipboard, to transfer passwords from the manager app to the browser etc..."

With X selection buffers, when you're pasting data the X application you're pasting from gets to run arbitrary code (informed of the destination!) to determine what to send. I've been wanting a password manager that asks me for verification before transferring the data.
I'm not an American, but I believe they are referring to the racist meme that associates fried chicken to Americans of non-white ethnicities.

This differs from the UK where fried chicken is more associated with the lower classes than a particular race.
One crucial point made in this article which had somehow passed me by is how devoid of credibility the West's intelligence agencies have become. I know it has been known for a while since Snowden, but the implications are far-reaching.

It has come to something when social media can point the same spotlight on whole armies doing things they would rather keep secret as it has done on politicians doing the same.
Choosing the Right App Monetization Strategy
It's no problem to autopilot on the highway today, 90-95% of the time. But that number needs to go even higher, still, before it can be unleashed on the public. And for that last edge, sensors and software have to get better. As a guess, going from 90% to 99% is the same effort as going 0% to 90%, software and hardware wise. Luckily, these diminuishing returns are (somewhat) offset by more resources being poured into development, and hardware costs coming down due to volume manufacturing.

The only way you will manage this situation is by fixing the rules so that properly taking care of the environment becomes a necessary condition to win the fucking election or make next Q3 sheet look good. It's not that hard, but indeed, will take time to seep in through democracies. For the election part, I can see that this is clearly happening already. For the Q3 sheet, we have a long way to go in some parts of the world, USA and China being on top of the list.

Dear Millennials: Stop Whining and Do Your Job
Most of the time there are more employer's contribution in Europe compared to US. Depending on the local law, you have to pay for social healthcare, retirement, jobless benefits...

>Why do we, as a society, tolerate this? //

In Western democracies [I really want to put quotes around both those words] do we have a choice?

In the UK we get to vote but it's for one of 2 or 3 sets of policies for the next 5 years, at no point do I recall any main party saying they were going to do something about NSA/GCHQ incursions in to UK life; I imagine USA have us over a barrel even if there were political will amongst the elite to change the spying on ordinary subjects [of the Crown].
Right. They just reap, what they have sowed.

Maybe, some of them might begin to realize what they have done ... but I doubt it.

I'll disagree. Responsive is a cop-out -- reminds me of the "mobile" versions of websites. Give me the full version, and stop messing with the layout and experience between the web and the phone.
5 Simple Hacks to Attract Great Engineers
As long as you start having problems as high as 35,000 feet there are surprisingly many (although vomit-inducing) ways to deal with your problems by pure physics – i.e. as long as you can use some of your control surfaces, you have a reasonable chance of surviving.

The most important variables are velocity and lift vector. At 35,000 feet you have room to gain speed, and even just some of your control surfaces let you manipulate your lift vector in "unconventional" ways.
Scylla 10-20X faster than Cassandra in new cluster benchmark
Amen brother! We could browse the web as it was intended to be on our iPhones in 2007-11, and then this responsive fad comes along and we're back to "mobile special" designs again...(remember WAP?)

Those "mobile special" layouts are annoying enough on their own on a phone (with their dumbing down of the UI), but they are doubly annoying when you're used to the web version of a website, and have to hunt for things in the "responsive" mobile version.
Design reading list
Agreed... and there is certainly no reason to restrict the analysis to just two types of shops.

However, fried chicken and coffee shops make for a really catchy way to introduce the possibilities of geo-analysis. I think maybe the point of the blog was to introduce a type of analysis, rather than to test for up and coming areas?
Actually I think that MPs should be using encryption and if they adopted it as a result of this situation then that would be one positive outcome. Otherwise we quickly get to a point when the only possibility of privacy is if the communication is classified as secret by the government.
I agree with you - this will be swept under the class rug, like so many other crimes the British people have allowed their politicians to commit in their name, for centuries.

I believe it will catalyze the political class, such that there really won't be any way but the mainstream way from now on. We'll see political factions fade away over the next few years, until there are only a few, or maybe eventually just a couple, of the same slight shade of grey ..
Would be interesting to see this done for Brooklyn, which has a lot of "up-and-coming" areas and a plethora of fried chicken and coffee shops.

Cash Drops and Keystrokes
I don't think inability to speed will be as much of a problem with automation. People speed regularly today because other than getting to a destination, driving is so unproductive. If you're able to do what you want while driving (read, watch videos, communicate, etc) people won't be in as much of a hurry.

GCHQ ABSOLUTELY promote censorship and interference with free speech on a mass scale:

apple's native graph database called "core data" is also built on sqlite.

mnesia lets you decide on a per table basis - where should be stored:

1) ram only
2) disk only
3) disk copies ( cached, and persisted stored to disk)

as well the option of how it should be accessed in a cluster

1) replicated (to a set of nodes you want)
2) or location transparent ( accessible from any node you want )

i doubt any dbms gives you this kind of distributed systems friendly primitives.

my only peeve against mnesia is corruption.
if you change these nodes, or one of them are down, or you call it with the wrong list of nodes ( eg: you may now need a distribtued store like zk just to get this list of nodes right), and many different things can go wrong which is why most folks use it for idempotent store. something that can be recreated if needed, and then used to great effect - but never as "the" persistent store. additionally there are limits on the size of these tables, and workarounds.

once bootstrapped - it works like a dream.
mnesia is still my go to dbs for a distributed cache or router for actors.

A more interesting indicator that authors may consider is how many people living in the area do jogging.

When I moved to London's SE4 postcode three years ago (it's pretty close to Peckham, FWIW), the regeneration of the area has just started and the more middle-class looking people appeared around, the more men and women in running gear were visible in the streets in the morning. Poor on average take worse care of their health and fitness, so tapping into Runkeeper's data may prove useful.

In the meanwhile, during these three years, the value of my home grew more than 100%.
When a voice in the cockpit repeats "stall. stall. stall. stall" it should be almost instinct to deal with it (whether that is forward yoke and near-0 g flying or rolling the lift vector to the side).

Only if the parameters are too small (1024 bits and close), and if the source of the parameters aren't necessarily trustworthy (maybe because of lack of verification). 2048 bit parameters should be good enough.
It's terrible that modern Italians no longer understand that our "design" culture can be applied to computers as much it is applied to shoes, food, clothes. It's the same process as the Programma 101 shows, and the engineering background is still here.

There's good on book on MH17 that was published a while ago: http://www.amazon.co.uk/MH17-story-shooting-Malaysian-airlin...

It came to a similar conclusion as the dutch report, the main issue with the dutch report is it's too little to late and the government had repeatedly delayed publishing it while they searched for a way to indirectly accuse Russia. The dutch report is quite weak in that it won't take the next logical step given the evidence available and accuse Russia of ordering the downing of MH17.
According with the estimated cost given to that machine (few hundred million dollars) and the problem's nature, what they propose is very similar to TWIRL, an hypothetical machine that could factor 1024-bits integer to break RSA. That was the reason that made a lot of people consider 1024-bit RSA not secure anymore and change their keys to 2048 bits. The same should happen with DH now.
They would have said that; that was the purpose of the article :)

Unless they themselves are wrong in the calculations.
