There a few claims you have that I think are slightly off.

First, push is very different than inlining, because individual resources are cacheable by the client, and inlined resources are not. There's a little handshake at the start of a push and if the client has (or doesn't otherwise want) the resource, it can cancel the push.

In my team's experiments with using push for HTML Imports, push ends up being better than inlining (using Polymer's vulcanize tool), even with a cold cache.

Also, push is relatively easy to implement if you use the response header approach, and was availably early on in mod_spdy.

People have been trying to do textual analysis to divine all kinds of things about the people who wrote the text. You'll even find papers in psychology or psychiatry journals claiming to be able to distinguish mental illnesses, based purely on a textual analysis. Also, all manner of religions are essentially founded on textual analysis.

It is correct to call such analyses, tools. They cannot give you answers that you can rely on. At best, they may give you hints of other places to look. However, one problem such analysis can run into is that when the signal (the patterns and templates that the analysis was looking for) disappears, the tool becomes rather worthless (in which case, you may want to consider how useful/correct-for-the-job the tool really was).

In the case described in the article, it seemed like an appropriate use of textual analysis.
Talk to an immigration lawyer before you try this.

The H-1B visa was clarified to allow for founder sponsorship, assuming you can demonstrate an employer-employee relationship.

To demonstrate an employer-employee relationship you need to be able to show that you can be fired from your company, which is difficult to show if you're the only two founders on the board, and you each own 50% of the company.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but you really want to make sure you talk to a immigraiton lawyer before you try this. And in either case, H-1B visas are very difficult to get at this point :)
It's more complicated than that... in order for the judge to abuse the system this way, the police would have to be acting in good faith, but still bring a groundless request to the judge, who would have to figure out that the warrant was groundless but decide to issue it anyway. That's a pretty unlikely scenario.

RSA key exchange is still secure, but you lose PFS when downgrading to it since very few servers will generate ephemeral RSA keys like they will when using DHE. 3DES is secure, but slow.

Ideally, you would want to just disable all ciphersuites that don't use ECDHE to do the key exchange, but that would probably hurt compatibility.
I actually think Apple users considers that as a good thing. Self destructing computers is entirely different, unless it's a hard drive feature.

The final issue to overcome (after adoption - getting everyone to put codes on their products and getting folks to know to verify) is fake authentication systems. Nothing stops an attacker from printing up codes and writing "Verify online at e-pedigree.com" or "Text <number> to verify". It almost needs to be a country or world-wide single authority so people know one single number/app/site to trust.
You may have a cipher mismatch with the server. If you use ssh with the -vv flag you can see which ciphers the server is supporting and compare that to the ciphers your client supports.

At some point the search space gets so large that you'd need more energy than required to boil all of Earth's oceans to find the key, which makes such a brute-force attack implausible.

>> Having access to information benefits individuals and society as a whole. I'd rather focus on how to utilize this access to internet and create things which are valuable for others to consume locally or globally.

This age is of Knowledge and skills that can create things, solve problems. Sell things on internet. Write book and tell the world. Develop softwares for yourself and others. Earn a living.

There is no Ruby installed by default in Ubuntu - or Debian last time I looked. Also (like Redhat) a significant chunk of the userspace distro code is written in Python.

Currently Vagrant is the only Ruby tool I use in sysadmin/devops land, and it's a workstation only installation rather than a server one.

Not having to deploy a whole new language runtime for your devops tooling is why I preferred Ansible and Salt over Chef and Puppet.

I recommend that you seek out a psychiatrist. A lot of people don't understand that chronic depression and anxiety are real ailments. They will tell you things like "you're fine, it's just in your head!" Don't listen to these people. They mean well but they are ignorant. Get the help you need.

Well if you really want to drive down the cost, the best thing to do would be to mass produce the actuators for the purpose. The actuators MIT used aren't really intended as actuators, they're some weird part for moving knobs around on high end audio equipment.

Fascinating article, trying to automate what the CIA would call an Analyst. Back when I was building my old computer collection I would read hundreds of ebay listings to find the "good stuff" and started to recognize sellers that listed under a variety of user names, or buyers who were also sellers. Just by the way they talked about the hardware, and did they call it by its "common" name or the product catalog name, etc. Never thought about making a resarch project out of it though.
A decent setup can actually be better than a theater. It's not about the size of the screen but the angle of view, which you can achieve at home with either a large TV or certainly with a projector. And these days, a couple going to the movies 20 times (and buying popcorn, drinks, snacks) will easily pay for a big TV or projector plus nice surround system. And you have the benefit of being able to replay scenes, take breaks, turn on subtitles if you can't understand something, not be subjected to 20 minutes of pre-movie advertising, etc. Not to mention those $50 in snacks you can buy yourself for $5 and put the savings you accumulate over time towards improving your home theater setup with better seating, sound and light proofing, etc.

It reminds me of a floppy disk that came into my possession, in the days of floppy disks being actual things. The label read: "Dear Friend, Please tell my story. God bless you, Dave Koresh". I was intrigued, though I knew even then that its connection with the famous Branch Davidian leader was tenuous at the absolute best. After inserting it and carefully checking for viruses, I found that the contents were vaguely anarcho-punk, techno-liberwankian writings of unknown provenance, perhaps culled from USENET or similar. Many of them had no attribution.

In short, food for thought, but needs solid confirming data to be taken utterly seriously.

Yes, of course, this is dork territory.

The interesting thing here is that sexbots can come in both genders, which might mitigate the stigma. There are probably a lot more women with vibrators than men with various appliances, yet no one calls a woman a pervert for owning one. If it becomes common for women dorks to own sexbots, then the path might be clear for men dorks.

A good deal of this is to try to take the US down a notch because they are seen as too powerful.

"If you don't know what's in the DC, you can't say one way or the other about what it can and can't do."

Sure you can: just go with worst case scenario and assume custom hardware. I did that on Schneier's blog below:

"The room for error here is in the ASIC assessment. We need to figure out how much they can parallelize this, either in cores or custom circuits, in a given ASIC. Then, how many of those can do in one chip at 14-28nm. Then how many they can squeeze in a rack. Then how much factoring can be done with Amazon or Microsoft datacenters full of those. That would be the most paranoid assessment.

You see, the unit prices of these things are really low vs initial development costs. That's one of main drivers for hardware to shrink. The chips might cost pro's $10-30 million to develop with boards a tiny fraction of that. Then, the chips themselves are fabbed dirt-cheap with the boards being inexpensive. If algorithm doesn't need much communication, then they can use standard I/O options to farm out the jobs which then just run until they complete. They could add more capacity year after year cheaply with incremental energy cost after spending a ton of money on chip design and real estate just once. They could get 50,000-100,000 chips with multiple accelerators on each every year.

So, I think the authors upper bound is lower than the real upper bound. Need to get specialists who have implemented algorithms like this in hardware to show how it will likely be implemented. Need at least one person whose done a 28nm design to estimate how much of the chip can be dedicated to that with the other functions considered. Then multiply that by whatever Amazon has to get a decent upper-bound. "
what are the odds? :)

I think there is a simple fallacy in your question, you wrote:

> After 10 years of success, and a lot of VC-backed

"IPO" is perhaps the smallest member of the set "eventual exits". Take the set of all companies funded by VC money since 2005, take the number of IPOs by VC funded companies since 2005, and you will get a very small number. (If the folks at MatterMark want to pop in here, they have this probability in their dataset).
Protecting yourself against the NSA is a good proxy for protecting yourself against other bad actors. The NSA has thousands of employees, a multi-billion dollar budget, and works 24 hours to crack, hack or otherwise gain unauthorized access to computer systems. So, if I can defend myself against the NSA, I've probably inoculated myself against other attackers using similar attack vectors.

It's not like the prosecution would've been secret if only Krebs had kept his mouth shut. The indictment and eventual verdict are public, and probably Google-able. It will show up in criminal records searches, just like it would for anyone else who had been at the sharp end of the justice system.

At worst Krebs raised the guy's profile a bit. But when he gets out of prison in 20 or 30 years it won't make much difference.

I'm not really familiar with QUIC, but are there any cryptographic setup steps that Wireshark can parse out of the first (say) three or four packets that get exchanged?

This works if you are three co-founders each with 33%, since any two of you could fire the third. (I am also not a lawyer, but this is how I got my H-1B five years ago.)

That said, the fact that the H-1B process is now a lottery - i.e. no matter qualified you are or how good your lawyer is, it's still a roll of the dice - makes it hard to recommend if you actually want any ability to plan for the future.

H-1B also puts more scrutiny on the company, so you'll probably need to have raised money (so you can prove you can pay yourself a market rate salary), have an office, etc.
I also suggest seeing a therapist. Can be a helpful complement to a psychiatrist.
It's a matter of perception. Sitting closer to a smaller 4k screen will give you a better experience than the big badly dimmed screen at the movies. A good pair of quality headphones ($300+) will also sound better than the often too loud sound system in the cinema. I can also set my own EQ and add sound compression to movies where the music, dialogs and special effect are badly balanced.

As for the snacks, they charge double or triple the price of everywhere else on the planet.

The only reason I go to a theater is out of nostalgia. For a while, I thought that 3d would give me a reason to go the the cinema, but I've yet to experience 3d in a satisfying way.
