300,000+ people a year emigrate from Britain. What number is required to "change it all"? Have you experienced a revolution of any kind? Studied revolutions in detail perhaps? I haven't, but I do live in the UK.

Perhaps you believe if we just voted for the other party, everything will change? It's so much bigger than that.
It's hard to disagree with that as a developer, but easy to disagree with what often happens, especially in a corporate setting:

The BeagleBoard doesn't have such strong processing capabilities that I need.

Thx for the info!
Making it not scalable is the point. It places a monetary restriction so that they have to pick and choose what devices they think are worth hacking and which ones are not. This is the balance between citizen's rights and government power.

Otherwise we just collect everyone's data on everything all the time and have access to everything.
But he did not have access to the box with the 2FA. The attack just had access to a box hosting software from a third party, completely isolated from FB's infrastructure.

With the passwords, however, he might have gotten access to the VPN or services. 2FA would have certainly helped.

This is of course only interesting if the passwords were reused (even the most security minted folks do that). If a third party vendor does not support 2FA, or when dealing with legacy code, it believe it is good practice to only use randomly generated passwords by password managers.

When I am confronted by an anti-ad block website, I go away, or I find a way around it. Viewing ads does not bother me. Viewing obtrusive advertisements, and those ridiculous scripts that pull you out of the site and into the App Store, pop ups, auto play videos, audio, and every other intrusive, ridiculous advertisement, is what I hate. Ads don't bother me, websites that act like assholes bother me.

Alphabet isn't the only big corp down after hours today.

As of now:

Microsoft - down 5%. http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/msft

Visa - down 4% http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/v

Starbux - down 4% http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/sbux

In each case, the cause is different. But one thing is common, trailing PE ratios of all four are high compared to historical norms. High PE ratios are maintained with high growth in revenue, earnings and margins. Back off even a bit and the invisible hand smacks you in the face.

> I disagree that anything is wrong with doing that. The way I see it, he identified that a number of plants were resistant to RoundUp and efficiently figured out which they were.

Okay, great, this doesn't matter to you, but surely it's a relevant detail for other people who are deciding whether Monsanto is "evil"? Specifically, for anyone who doesn't already share your set of beliefs about what should be patentable, this is a crucial piece of information.

Seriously, even for those who do believe that plants should not be patentable, "farmer willfully breaks (unjust) patent laws" is a different story than "Monsanto blew seeds onto a farmer's property and then sued him for it."
This is a very basic tool that I’ve wished for when working on previous projects. We built it because we needed it to specify hiring areas for employers on our job site, and now it’s published in case someone else needs it.
If downloading any data from a hacked server counts as exfiltration then everyone could be said to have no protection against data exfiltration.

The EPA probably can't directly, but the US government has full control over what crosses its borders. If the appropriate government arms decide VW is not allowed to export these cars from the United States intact, that will effectively prevent VW from reselling them elsewhere.
Nice. You should add it to botpages.com if you haven't.
Congratulations on being a person of the sort I mentioned, who managed to get a few of them. If I build one into a product can I buy 100 of them? 1000 of them? Can I source the SoC to make my own board based on the design?
I hope this project will result in such products on the consumer market.
Don't do this on medical equipment

That's funny because I was coming here to say that I built a real-time system running on Windows... for a medical instrument. Windows was fine because speed didn't matter, predictability did, and our latencies were measures in hundreds of milliseconds and Windows has no problem keeping up with that. The only time I saw CPU usage go above 1% was when the instrument was shutting down and had to clean up a lot of objects.
If it were me I'd keep the car as it came and enjoy the better performance.
Uncompressed might indeed eat up tons of disk space.

Admittedly I was thinking of an SSD + some caching in RAM when thinking of this timing. But I was always under the impression an HDD seek would be on the order of 10's of ms? I'd assume a query to a cloud service would be on the order of 100-200ms.
AFAIK, the exploit only works on older iphones. It'll quickly lose value going forward.
Do I take it from this that you're unable to explain the connection you made between this subject and the Holocaust?
I disagree that it's credit that's inflated prices. I think this might be true for certain segments like for-profit colleges. Supply and demand still works.

Housing is still relatively cheap in the US, where population density is so low that the amount of land available to buy and build on is stupendously large compared to denser nations like the UK. Sure, certain markets have inflated prices, but that's just normal supply and demand at work. If you want to buy property to live on, you can move out to the sticks and do that for pretty darned cheap.
Keeping things in a single pile makes insertion O(1) but makes retrieval a linear O(n). Depending on your usage pattern this may or may not make sense.

Personally I sort my mail by category (junk mail, mail my wife might be interested in, mail I am interested in). This means there is a one time linear traversal of my mail by me but this allows constant time retrieval of a list of mail by my wife, which she appreciates.

Then you end up with career bureaucrats who have no idea what is going on regulating banks. Similar think led to crushing regulation in many areas of American life in the 1960's and 1970's. Deregulation of those industries led to innovations like UPS and FedEx that weren't legal before.
Good or bad is not that clearly to distinguish. Going with the group is certainly the easiest path but on average it's probably also the right thing to do.

How can you be tolerant of culture without being tolerant of cultural values?
See my comment to your sibling. The US government, though not necessarily the EPA, can certainly prohibit VW from exporting the affected cars.
It's interesting to see how Google, a company that has arguably some of the best engineers in the world and the most brilliant technologists, still only makes a decent revenue on online ads. All of their other startups are losing money.
Cool: Talks about NDK, ART, and maybe just maybe, they will fix audio latency.

Not so cool: Game keynotes seem to keep spreading Play Services PR instead of talking about making games, available frameworks and tooling, like on Apple and Microsoft conferences.
> Because the US government has said so?

Sigh... Law is a social construct. It was decided that it is in the public interest to provide periods of exclusivity in exchange for public disclosure, because afterwards the public can make free use of the information. Otherwise, everything would be trade secrets, and everything would have to be reverse engineered. Things like generic drugs probably wouldn't exist -- if Coke can protect a recipe for 70 years, I doubt the drug companies would have much issue doing the same. And I'm sure there's plenty of technology that strategically stays out of patent space, because it's more valuable without public disclosure.

> And that's enforced by privately negotiated treaty with other countries, without the consent of their citizens?

Are you implying that all law must be ratified by every citizen before being enacted? Because otherwise, your voting for your representatives was your consent.

Yeah, Google has really been expanding the real estate given to paid ads vs natural search results. My guess is they've seen a big shift from natural results to paid results. At some point, though, people will start to believe the value of the search page has suffered.

>whereas if each person runs its own server, the incentives are properly aligned for security.

I don't see how this is true at all. Most people don't care/know about security. See Wordpress. Many companies don't take security seriously, there are many open mongodb pointing to the outside world - HackingTeam, a team chockfull of blackhat hackers, was partially done in by sloppy authentication and passwordless databases.

Today, when people run their own server, it doesn't seem the incentives are properly aligned at all - and given that even blackhat shops don't even take the time to secure their own systems properly, the economic argument falls flat.
1. Watch a documentary called Eating Alabama.

2. Keep an eye out for the little farm that used/bought their own seeds. The neighbor's hugh Monsanto crop blew in pollen. Now this little farm had some Monsanto genetic material on their land. The young couple wanted to fight it, but their wiser neighbor told the young couple, "do you have an extra $400,000?". The young couple said no.

3. Just watch the documentary. Do your research from there.
I think you just might question Monsanto. Maybe not?

(a) No, we didn't. Stamos was running Domain Services by the time NCC acquired Matasano --- a totally different line of business. I have never worked with Stamos. I've never been in an organization that shared a number with Stamos. For the overwhelming majority of my pentesting career, I knew Stamos primarily as my arch-competitor at iSEC.

(b) Please don't accuse me of commenting in bad faith. I don't care whether you use a calm tone of voice or not. It's especially weird to be accused of being in the tank for someone by an anonymous account.

(c) If I'm really incorrect, you should make an actual argument, rather than a drive-by snipe.

You didn't answer the question. Instead, you made up something about the "pervasive idea" that "there's no point" etc., which nobody here even remotely hinted at. It's a huge strawman. The "age of free information" blather is even worse. The US is not all of the world. In much of that world, there is no free internet access in almost every library. Even in the US, it's less pervasive and often less truly free than you seem to think, and learning those many new skills requires a certain baseline education that many do not have. Someone would have to be really deep in a privilege bubble to be so totally oblivious to how life is for the truly poor.

But that's not even the point, really. The point is that, even if I were inclined to blame the poor for their own situation as you do, your theory would still have no explanatory value when comparing the previously-poor to the never-poor. Your "theory" is simply counterfactual and illogical. The fact that it's also offensive is just the icing on the cake.

Well, right, that needs to be a multi-purpose serial interface device, and who knows what crazy timing requirements some sensor or interface chip will need. An example: There are some cheap little radios around. They literally just output a carrier with a binary value encoded on it in a super-simple modulation. Even with an RT device, you've got to keep transmissions very short and include a clock-synch section at the beginning.

You can still transmit and receive if your devices have a lot of jitter, but you'll have to kill your transmission rate to keep things working reliably.
Right ... But my point was that coal costs more and will likely need costly purification.
Total market capitalization is roughly $500 billion. So buying back $2.3 billion of shares only shrinks the number of shares by less than 0.5%. That improves EPS by all of about 3 cents. Not enough to matter.

But it is. Intel runs its fab lines as near to full capacity as they can. Consequently, every ARM you make means you make fewer x86's.

So, you're telling me that a fab line manager is going to reduce his profit margin by 10% just so he has a fallback when the x86 market collapse and decimates Intel?

This is like finance guys before the stock market crash: "I can be contrarian but it does me no good. If I'm right, my company is so invested in the stock market going up that my company is dead anyway. If I'm wrong, well, I look like an idiot and don't make money. So, I'll just try to make money and cash out."

Later, he claimed that he could do it easily by clearing the area of flash memory containing the phone's password, apparently unaware of the fact that the password was used as a key to encrypt data.

Right click, turn live tile off. I don't know why you even bother with Linux if you didn't even try the first logical graphical gesture that one can reasonably expect to lead to fixing this problem. You can even remove most/all default tiles, like any sane poweruser would do. The same as in Windows 8. On live tiles - Apple has dashboard that has seen more success than widgets on Vista+, Microsoft decided to push some of this functionality on live tiles, so that you can have an app launcher that doubles as a widget when you want to display information on it, but that functionality is optional. If it was off on all default tiles then nobody would know about it, so it'd be a bad default.

What I'd want to know about Windows 10 though, and Google seems not to deliver anything beyond bullshit articles on how to disable it or useless scaremongering blogspam - clearly enumerated and sourced list of information telemetry subsystem captures and sends back to mothership and what parts can be reliably disabled without resorting to shady third-party apps.
They aren't, actually, and people parrot this falsehood all the time.

If we assume you're referring to the United States, don't conflate proposed rules, rules, guidelines, and law, nor circumstances that require you to seek FAA authorization for the flight (which is different than "forbidden by law," itself inaccurate).

You are talking about Advisory Circular 91-57 (Model Aircraft Operating Standards) from June 1981. Not law, just standards for their airspace. Certainly not forbiddance by law.

That's really tame compared to the stuff I hear that goes on for these "honeypots". The depraved depths some of them go to to provoke violence to justify and develop a case is beyond absurd. It's not just brown skins.

They tend to target ethnicities, and non-whites a lot and feel they have more liberties in how far they can go to provoke a criminal act. On the tamer end, it's not uncommon to hear from an ethnic about how some "white girl" is trying to get them to commit some crime. Or playing the "damsel in distress" to provoke a violent retaliation. On the more extreme cases you will hear of an "instigation" meant to catalyze violence at their targets or between them. I'll just leave it at that.

A hint for the ethnics is... you see that "hot white girl" or "cool white dude" hanging out with ya'll? That's a narc.

My information is a couple of years out of date (I left in August 2013), but that would be hard(ish) for SurfEasy to do, and doing so would affect the entire system (all users), because we didn’t user-level pen-tapping capabilities into the system.

The proxy/VPN machines were designed to be disposable (to potentially cycle IP addresses for various reasons) and to record a minimum of information. It would have required non-trivial effort to make it so that we could do a pen-tap on just one individual given that they could end up on a different server each time. Additionally, I believe that the proxy/VPN machines had no information on the user's identity, just the device's identity (devices were given unique, derived identities when they were created; we could work that information backwards to some degree of accuracy with enough effort, precisely for LE purposes).

I don’t always use a proxy or VPN, but when I do, I trust what my former employer wrote precisely because I know what we didn’t do then, and didn’t believe would be right for us to do. Nothing I have heard from the SurfEasy team since suggests that this has changed.
