Thanks to a spectacularly complex legal system, we all break plenty of laws each day. If our every action is recorded, then so are those currently inconsequential violations of law, giving whoever controls the panopticon the ability to pick and choose who to prosecute with near impunity.

However, I disagree with GP's assertion that the absence of drones would result in mandatory service or a draft. Neither will be politically palatable in the US for at least another generation or two. Vietnam is still too recent in people's memories. Besides, one of the main things that reduces the number of needed troops is not weaponized drones, but improved communication and sensor platforms. This allows for (more) precise and accurate strikes and troop placement. Larger areas of control can be maintained by fewer people.

This process makes a ton of sense, once you start thinking of websites as online applications (and not just a bunch of page content, but even then sometimes it's worth thinking about page content as an application). It's also surprisingly simple, given the tooling that's already provided by the browser and the sw-precache and sw-toolbox libraries.

I only wish there were some roadmap to see this on the iOS side. I get that android has a lot of market share, especially in developing (slow 3g / 2g network) countries, so this is still a great idea (and totally worth the effort, given the payoff). But if there was some word from apple that this was feasible in the near future, I wouldn't be worrying about writing a native iOS app, or figuring out how to use cordova to deploy a hybrid webview app.

And that's why I somehow doubt apple is in a hurry to get this working on iOS. Watching the service worker presentations at the recent chrome summit, I couldn't help but think, "wow, app-like behaviors, straight from a webpage, pinned to the home screen".
But you have to write the `catch` (or a `throws`). That's the point.

Now if you choose to handle this stupidly, that's entirely your fault, but at least the compiler did its jobs by forcing you to think about the error case.

In Go, the compiler doesn't enforce anything.
Just for reference, 70 sqm is about 750 sqft, where these are 200 sqft, or less than 20 sqm. These are absolutely not sufficient for a family with children, or likely even a single parent with a child.

If you don't know how to handle an exception, just add it to your `throws` clause and let a caller handle it. That's the whole point of exception: letting you choose who is the most appropriate to handle the error.

Return value errors like Go implements forces everyone to care about all errors, at all times, even those they can't handle, which is why you see the pattern

ok, err:= Foo()
if err {

every ten lines in Go sources.
I see you're joking, but I believe it's theoretically possible to extract more power from a pseudorandom stream if you can predict it (that is, if you have a key to decrypt) under certain conditions. It's related to Maxwell's demon: if the signal were exciting a large rod, a flat low energy spectrum would roughly correspond to small thermal fluctuations of the rod, which are bounded by some Carnot-like efficiency. If you can perfectly predict the fluctuations though, you can set up a system of oscillating rods coupled additively to it to absorb it's power such that their sum approximates the Fourier spectrum of the rod. This allows you to extract work from the rod as if it were a sinusoidal signal, which does not have to obey the Carnot limit.

In practice this effect should be small though (for the case of Wi-Fi power).
Obviously cynicism isn't a finite resource.

They clearly said "the bitcoin industry" so their comment stands.
Yes there is a savings guarantee in the US/UK/EU however if funds are stolen from your bank account you are as unlikely to get them returned as you are to get stolen bitcoin back. The difference is that the government is covering (with taxes) the loss incurred by the bank (if necessary) but that doesn't mean you are automatically covered by this insurance in the case of a theft.
This pretty much has to be done if Bitcoin is to have any significant number of users doing everyday transactions. The hilariously low transaction rate and long transaction times would otherwise prevent people from using Bitcoin to pay for coffee.

As for "where is my 'x'", I'm actually surprised this isn't a solved problem yet, but I attribute it to the fact that we're still in the early IoT era, when every company wants to lock us in into their bullshit ecosystem of beacons and beacon apps.

> but if someone intercepts your mail, then they know your address and could possibly know your phone number. How secure is the activation process

Every "normal" credit and debit card I've received in the mail has used this same procedure -- call a number on a removable sticker stuck to the card to activate it where the only verification is the phone number you're calling from (and caller ID is easily faked).

How is this any worse than how every other card activates?

And how do you propose they get around the mail interception problem? Have a courier deliver it to you and place it in your hand?

While true, moving the entire web to HTTPS with PFS-enabled configurations, secure cipher suites, and key-pinning is a huge challenge.

In any case, the strategy lately has been to force consumer ISPs to keep logs of who is connecting where (The UK government wants ISPs to log the URI of every plaintext page you visit, and will no doubt eventually want DNS logs and TLS SNI and TCP connection logs for other kinds of connectivity).

The best you can do today is ensure your TLS deployment is A+ rated at SSL Labs[0] and offer a Tor hidden service for your visitors. That said, if governments and ISPs legislate/cooperate to do active MITM attacks, then there's nothing we can really do to help Joe Public that wouldn't constitute a crime or get you put on a watchlist yourself.

Well they can "steal" a tiny amount. Wi-Fi signals reflect all over, and by having a large antenna (even beyond your house/room), it absorbs some signals which might reflect/scatter back. Negligible in practice.
The "whole point of bitcoins" is not anonymity. In fact, bitcoins aren't anonymous at all.
Obligatory "Latency Numbers Every Programmer Should Know"

No it can't, but laws against crypto can be used to mandate that only certain crypto be used in "professional" settings. That crypto will of course have to be certified, which will lock anyone but Fortune 500 companies and products certified by expensive consultants out of essentially all enterprise markets. Your browser will have to be certified to talk to certified SSL servers, etc. So forget about open source, open platforms, open standards, and startups competing with big companies in the enterprise.

That may well be the real objective. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if big players are lobbying behind the scenes for the government to mandate a new kind of FIPS for all consumer crypto, which would lock smaller players out of the market and of course make us all safer from 'terr (right?). Remember how SOPA was lobbied for by GoDaddy so they could sell a new expensive premium class of domain registration?

emacs occur effectively does this... you get another pane to the right with a list of all ocurrences and you can use that to navigate up and down your file. Scrollbars wouldn't work because you may have far too few rows on the tty. less et al highlight everything in the current page and so on. emacs et al will tell you how many matches are left. grep too.

Incidentally intellij does this and i find it of limited use. Perhaps just not how my mind works. The occur mode is far more sensible to me.

Kernighan's response to the C question was rather odd -- where is this myth that C is only used in embedded systems and drivers coming from?

The Linux kernel is still written in C.

Ben Klemens, author of 21st Century C, leads the statistical computing group for the research arm of the U.S. Census Bureau. He models complex systems and computations in C.

The entire Python scientific computing stack is resting on C.

A huge portion of the GHC compiler is written in C.

Many AAA game developer studios are writing their engines in C (with vendor supplied C++ compilers, but C none-the-less).

And do people really write C89 for greenfield projects today? C99 is pretty amazing and has added some great features to the language. C11 might be the trivial change having only added some atomic operators (depending on whether you think this is trivial) and rescinding VLAs (though most compilers will probably continue to support them anyway).

I think Go is a perfectly fine language but it seems like perhaps the group is a little out of touch with the rest of the world judging by replies to questions like this.

In Go, as in Java with checked exceptions, the compiler forces the programmer to handle the error.

What's surprising to me is that even the liberal media doesn't seem to question the assumption behind the questions that they're asking.

It feels very clean and well engineered, I always manage to break it via updates though (freebsd-upgrade vs ports vs pkg)

Apparently pkg-ng and ports are linked via a central database though now, so that should not be the case any longer.

As for why? I disliked systemd and was told to "evolve or gtfo" so I gtfo since I didn't like the way it was being forced on me and the few gripes I had with it fell onto people who seemed to be acting very defensively. But I digress.

I'm a systems administrator, in my next employment I will be attempting to get into a company that is making use of freebsd ( hopefully by then I'll be breaking it much less often of course :) )

The experimental group is impoverished people with worms. The control group is impoverished people without worms.

> The roughly 16,000 Tsimane survive mainly by hunting, fishing, and raising crops such as rice and plantains. Their homeland is prime parasite country.

It can't be totally stopped. But plenty of encryption-enabled apps can be subverted. I think it should be treated as a given that

1. a sufficiently clever and malicious person can implement broken encryption in a virtually-undetectable, and perhaps even deniable way
2. the government has the capability of exerting enormous pressure on app manufacturers and service providers

Given 1 & 2, it's reasonable to assume that an unknown and possibly great number of encrypted chat and encrypted email and encrypted etc are all subverted.

I think the primary danger of drones is distraction. Distracting a pilot flying a plane with hundreds of people on-board is not to be treated lightly.

(A secondary issue would be a drone getting sucked into plane's engine intake. I don't know if it would break the engine, but it would definitely take away some of it's extremely expensive life time.)

As for us pedestrians, a cheap drone with plastic rotor blades (it's a different with carbon fiber; I've heard of cases where old-school RC helicopters chopped off fingers) may not damage me on impact, but getting near-missed by a fast-moving, loud and non-ballistic object can freak one out, making one drop stuff they're carrying, fall off one's bike or run into traffic. And speaking of traffic, I wouldn't want to see what happens when you distract a driver with a drone on a busy road.

- It's somewhat complicated for a site to implement correctly

- It mainly protects users who have already connected to a site once
from a secure location and whose browsers support HSTS and other "fixes"

- Circumvented easily via phishing

- Does not prevent nation states from MITMing connection

- Can only host one site per IP, without a wild-card or UCC cert
(which not all clients support)

- Makes caching difficult to impossible

- Adds performance overhead

- Potential for new attacks on the TLS layer
