If you assume that Facebook will comply with whatever entity you're trying to avoid, by using Onion, it sounds like a pretty bad idea to me, yes. In theory you could probably use a separate browser and Tor session for Facebook, and for your other browsing - making it a little harder to associate your Facebook login with your Tor session (ip). Sounds like a terrible idea, though.

Now, for some of the reasons why you'd want to use Facebook via Tor, it might not matter much - using Facebook might be bad enough (eg: it could be considered subverting state censorship) -- so if Facebook is already colluding with your adversary, just having a Facebook account might be enough to give you problems.

It might be enough for a legal veneer of plausible deny-ability, although I doubt it: Eg, perhaps you're a drone pilot and you login to Facebook via Tor, and paste in a gpg-encrypted, ascii-armored text-message to a journalist on Facebook. You could claim someone must've hacked your account. Or you could collude with someone else, and "borrow" their account. I don't think it'd keep you out prison though.
I was talking to friends about the same idea, that somehow in the past few years the world was turning into the Sci-Fi (somewhat dystopian) of my youth. That night on Ars Technica, I saw two headlines:
"Pope’s plane hit by a laser in Mexico City" and "Humans started having sex with Neanderthals over 100,000 years ago" and I realized the world was turning into BAD Sci-Fi.
yes, parent comment is typical carguy fanboyism translated into 21st century context. my favorite carbrand is special and unique, because of X reasons!

a new company producing cars isn't doing much "from scratch", other than design, and the basic concepts there are also pretty well established. as far as i can tell tesla is producing the same basic product as everyone else except all the tech people are into it because of elon musk, where they probably hated or didn't pay attention to cars before.
Yes, I don't think people understand that the last step of a slow death is starvation until the person stops breathing, at which point, you must fight the urge to revive them. It's brutal. I just watched it happen before my very eyes this week. I will never forget it.
I agree with the view on testing. I mostly use testing as an excuse to shape up bad old code when starting work on existing products, then delete the tests afterwards.
It's funny that they say people use Tor "for a variety of reasons related to privacy, security and safety". They left out "firewall circumvention", which I have to believe is the #1 reason, at least in China.
Because it happened in the past with a hashing algorithm that isn't resistant to getting faster as time progresses.
That's what NASA wants you to believe...
In my experience, unless you get lucky with your node it'll just throw an infinite captcha loop at you.
It is exactly this why the world needs Elon Musks: To break out of the cycle of endless iteration of the same old technology. While conventionally fuelled motors have come a long way and today the cleanliness of fully electric vehicles might be a bit dubious given how electricity is largely produced and the bad battery technology employed, a large enough push in the right direction will fix that too.

Apparently the old minds of VW et al. are too slow to adapt. Let's see whether this situation becomes a giant slow-motion crash of German automakers (and therefore the German economy) or whether they can pull through with their promise to "not be the first, but the best" on the market.
For sure there is a huge amount of bots in this number.

I work with about a 600 table 2 TB PostgreSQL database and I started to use DataGrip, when it was in beta, for constructing complex queries. It's quite good for writing larger queries, but also taking auto-generated queries from an ORM and re-formatting them to help with debugging application behavior.

For db-specific operations I still use PostgreSQL's command-line client psql. It's an invaluable tool, but it's really nice to have options.

I also like the ability to pin query results so that I can quickly compare result sets in slightly-modified queries that I'm trying to fix.

Not so great at exploring the schema. Could be that I just didn't learn the tool enough to make that easier.
It's a nice tool, I use it daily. Right now my only gripe is that it doesn't format (PostgreSQL) JSON columns in any way, so if you're storing a lot of JSON data, it can be difficult to view.
Is there a Chrome extenson that shows the size of a web page? There's a good one for page load time that I use, but I want kilobytes with and without cache.
They're not "ordinary people" like Americans or Germans. There is a face people (especially educated people) from these countries like to put on. "Oh, we are just like you." Except the normalization of domestic abuse; inhumane treatment of servants; strict gender roles; condemnation of homosexuals; the deep-seated racism. In the country where my parents come from, 87% of women are the victims of domestic violence: http://www.asianews.it/news-en/In-Bangladesh,-87-per-cent-of....

It's not a "media stereotype." I'm speaking from first-hand experience. I've seen most of the above in my own extended family (which is all educated and upper middle class). It's the dirty laundry and it's deeply ingrained in culture. Obviously, a lot of people do embrace western values. But I've met plenty of educated people from those countries with a western education whose are still trapped by their culture. They might be hackers who code, but they also think women shouldn't work.
My God, this is completely ridiculous, but I'll try one more time.

I find it hard to take advice from anyone who makes such strong claims, in such a provocative manner, whilst failing so utterly in their own demonstration: https://imagebin.ca/v/2eeSxQABPMX9

Apparently that's "legible" and "looks the same in all... browsers".

I certainly agree that BMFW has less contrast than the MFW; so little that it's difficult to read!

For comparison, here's how MFW looks: https://imagebin.ca/v/2eeVa5QksF6e

White text on a black background, exactly as I asked for when I configured Firefox. Content taking up my whole widescreen monitor, exactly as I asked for when I made the Firefox window that size.

The only thing BMFW seems to have correct is using sans-serif font; which I expect is because I unticked Firefox's "allow pages to override these fonts" option. Other than that, it looks like a me-too cargo-cult of MFW which completely misses the point.

Presumably the creators of BMFW are using, and only ever test anything with, a black-on-white style which is, let me guess, the browser's default? What would that make them, in their own (jokingly "quoted") words?
It's all coplanar in the solar system so let's go with the traditional answer, "the sky."
Probably not a lot.
I use it to bypass firewalls sometimes.
Firefox's problem is not lack of features. It's performance.

To be sure, Firefox isn't the worst by many metrics, but it's no longer the stand-out that it was circa 2005-2008. That's why Firefox users left it for Chrome.

And here we are in 2016, I feel that Firefox has a legitimate chance of fighting back if they get their act together. Chrome has become heavy on resource usage while Safari can be sluggish at times. Microsoft has done a great job with Edge but it's bound to Windows 10. This is the opportunity that Firefox should seize.

Yet, they seem to be permanently confused about what they want to do. Chucking Firefox OS was a brave and laudable choice (I say this as a former user, not just an owner, of Firefox OS). But then they work on this? Seriously? Just keep your heads down and concentrate your resources on making Firefox faster and more efficient. Everything else will come with it.
Asiimov's Three Laws of Robotics, right?
I have good faith that they didn't, or certainly not all of them. When Alex described the entire process they went through, he also smirked that should that primary key ever get compromised they have several others, almost as good, ready as drop-in replacements.

I do think he also mentioned that they only cared about keys that had their required prefix; all others were destroyed without anyone ever having access to them.
Going to the moon wasn't pure science research. Such research could have been an alternative use of those millions of man-hours of effort.

That said, I do take chriswarbo's point that it could have easily instead been even more baroque weapons or proxy wars, as well as yours and manaskarekar's about the uncertainty inherent in counterfactuals. I just wanted to make the point just finding some positives is not enough, you need to look at opportunity costs. If we both look at them and come to different conclusions, that's life, but at least we agree on the basis of measurement.
Ha! My initial reaction at the combination of "Whatup" and .gov TLD[1] was that this is a government sanctioned WhatsApp replacement.

I was joking with you on that part. Yes, there's policy requirements that affect these things. That the Executive agencies keep refusing to make adequate exceptions or provisions for Legislative and Judicial is either a sign of incompetence or malice.

If you invest a lot of time, whether it's configuring your .vimrc/.emacs.d/init.el or throwing a lot of money at a specific car/tool brand, you're naturally going to have an emotional attachment with that. Read the comments on tool reviews on youtube - contractors have holy wars over their DeWalts vs Milkwakees. Slashdot in the mid 90s was emacs vs vim/GNOME2 vs KDE3 for the better part of a decade. It's not limited to only the Perl greybeards or contractors - it's quite common for tenured professors to be ousted as complete frauds after some other lab tries to replicate the findings only to yield entirely different results. "The results should have yielded this, so .." This is human nature - people are going to inherently defend anything they invested a lot of time in learning/using/doing.

With religion, it's 10x more intense because they can't put down the beaker or drill and go have a beer with their buddies - it's their entire identity. FT/Der Spiegel/The Guardian(usually)/the Newshours(BBC/PBS) all do a good job for the limited amount of time/column-lines they have to cover such a complicated topic such as religious factionism that goes back thousands of years. Then there's the Bismarckian Realpolitik which is certainly a large aspect of it.

There was certainly Saudi money behind it. But when you hear "state-sponsored terrorism" it could mean a lot of things. A governor or 8th son might have funded a non-profit NGO which later turned out to be mostly legitimate but 10% of those funds were diverted to purchase New-old-stock over-stock arms from the former USSR (then the question arises - was it with or without his knowledge?). because the House of Saud itself has politics that are so intricate internally that you'd have to spend years studying that exclusively. Start reading about the First Saudi state of 1744 (under Abdel Wahhab's rule in alliance with ibn Saud) and a few thousand pages later one might have half of a grasp on the internal politics. And that's just historical internal Saudi politics. Bring in religious subsets and hatred spawned from that, ethnic hatred (Persians are about as Arab, as Japanese are Chinese), international interests propping up different regimes and it's all a very complicated game.

Think of how complicated our government operates with just two parties - the capitalists who retain the lobbyists that influence the congressmen who have multiple interests that have to be simultaneously balanced in order to keep their constituents, donors, and party all happy enough so that you retain power. It's all a subtle game of spinning plates and we're working with just with two parties (effectively).
Maybe it's just me seeing the past through rose-colored glasses, but it seems that the "Work hard and know technology" founders were more common in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, in contrast to today's "Party hard and know rich people" founders.
Someone should really work towards making legal document as a testing framework against which user can send a query of an action and the output of query should be if action is allowed by that document or not. :)

Unfortunately, it's been a very, very long time since Tor was last usable in China.
The problem with this "joke" is that it's a mildly amusing story at best. Having it painted on the boat is just prolonging something that never really made it to the amusement level of a joke with legs.

I hope the officials hold firm. Long after the easily entertained public has moved on, they can do their job without being reminded of how poor the sense of humor in the general populace actually is.
"In 2012, staff at the Federal Trade Commission recommended filing antitrust charges after determining that Google was engaging in anti-competitive tactics and abusing its monopoly. A staff report that was later leaked said Google’s conduct “has resulted — and will result — in real harm to consumers and to innovation in the online search and advertising markets.”"

The FTC figured it out first. But the EU was the first to actually act.

I agree on the memory model being the most interesting thing about this card. I sort of "under-sold" it on the "better design" part of my last bullet.

People/manufacturers tend to look at clock rates, fill rates (for GPUs), FLOPs, "crunching power" in general, forgetting completely the memory part. For example, today most CPUs end up being bound by cache sizes and performance tuning focuses on being nice on the cache rather than being optimal in your instructions (see for example Abrash's Pixomatic articles[0-2], which are about high performance assembly programming in "modern environments").

With GPU and "classic" HPC (don't know about the new systems with the "compute fabric interconnects"), memory usually becomes the bottleneck (except for embarrasingly paralell problems, of course). In fact, I'm pretty it was Cray who said that a supercomputer is a way to turn a CPU-bound problem into an IO-bound problem.

Also legislatures, the federal government, etc. Requirements have many sources, and only some are self-imposed, unfortunately.
> I do think he also mentioned that they only cared about keys that had their required prefix; all others were destroyed without anyone ever having access to them.

Okay, that is what I was implying would be terrible otherwise. But actually it is quite obvious that they would not spend the disk space necessary the keep every single generated key pairs now that I think about it.
Truth be told that was the original response I was going to go with, and it just felt a little off. However, it is indeed quite accurate. 5 year old me would approve.
Anything that encourages users to be more cavalier about installing software because they think they're protected is a security risk.

So if you want to lob accusations of inaccurate or misleading claims, better to aim them at Canonical, who are pitching this as a security panacea when it's anything but.

"The Century of Self" is probably his seminal work. Remember that Adam Curtis is .. well.. Adam Curtis. His story is going to have a spin (as anyone's will - but it's important to be cognizant of that; when one reads Zinn's Peoples History of the US, I tell them to read "The Origin of Politics" just to get another take from an equally well-educated, articulate writer). I try really hard to get both sides of the story from internally consistent sources.

It's easy for me to immediately dismiss most modern neo-con sources, since their (amazingly effective) strategy is mostly based on emotional scaremongering with internally inconsistent arguments. I'm not their target demographic and they know it.

They're not idiots (in fact, re: education - Fox News has a surprisingly large percentage of hosts with degrees from well-revered instituions; which makes it all the more ironic when one points out that nice blonde lady denigrating the "liberal East coast elites" trying to emotionally connect with the midwestern housewife, herself is Harvard educated) but there definitely is another side to the story and it's important to at least hear their argument before you dismiss it.
If your patented robot walks onto my land and starts doing my bidding, I'm suddenly at fault? Crazy.

Common security practices define authentication factors as: 1) Something only you know [password], 2) Something you have [hardware security token], and 3) something you are [fingerprint, iris scan, etc]. And you should need at least two of these to authenticate to a system.

Here in Japan, we put my mother in law to rest this week under the principles of a religion that believes that the body is lent to the mind, that the mind is eternal, and that the mind is reborn with a new name.

I find Christianity one of the most offensive belief systems in the world, but who am I to argue with millions of people who are "more joyful" and know better than me? On the other hand, there's a better-than-decent chance that the real teachings of Christ are more like my Japanese priest's beliefs than whatever you're talking about.

If you don't take vitamin D pills or consume (lots of) cod liver oil, then your vitamin D levels will be lowest in the spring. If I remember correctly, at around 60 degrees north, you have to wait until the end of April until you get vitamin D from the sun.

http://www.cavium.com/OCTEON-III_CN7XXX.html

It's a multi-core MIPS64 processor with PCI, USB, and do on. Remember that MIPS has been used in everything from embedded to SGI Origin supercomputers. Quite general purpose. Cavium's addition is SOC, lower power, and accelerators.

Regarding ShenWei, it was used in supercomputers. It's probably real. What jumped out is that it's probably stolen IP from Alpha CPU and had high watts. So, not as power-efficient or legal as they'd like was my guesss.

Re Tilera

I read the MIT RAW Workstation papers where all that began. ;) Yeah, it's pretty cool but that's the one that's limited purpose. It's like an overlap between vector processors, FPGA's, and multicores. I dont know who all uses them but I did find a 100Gbps network tap and NIDS that used 3 Tileras for its muscle.

For the cost of these solar panels, what else could we be doing to reduce carbon emissions? Here in SF or internationally?

I do think that carbon reduction is pretty essential, but it's so essential that I don't think we can waste our money on low yield actions. I'm not saying this strictly is, I'd have to read about it more, but I'm not optimistic that mandating very specific technologies will be a good approach.

Cilk Plus is an Intel language extension for expressing parallelism in C and C++: https://www.cilkplus.org
