Well, it's really hard to say since it's clearly addressing a target audience (LEAs/LEOs) with a specific set of needs, and we are not those people.

However, as I read it, they're saying that if you just need confirmation that someone owns a particular number, they'll do that via email - usually for things like wiretaps or warrants, iirc, the LEO has to attest that they validated that so-and-so that made a harassing phone call to whoever owns number XXX-XXX-XXXX that the call originated from, ergo, this is probable cause to search them, etc.

So in this case, instead of generating a subpoena for records that a lawyer will have to review for $$$, the LEO sends an email from their work address that says, "I'm investigating Y, does So-and-so own XXX-XXX-XXXX?", bandwidth emails back with a "Yes" or "No" (obviously I assume there's a slightly more formal response for documentation purposes).

Saves legal time, doesnt' expose meaningful info, there's got to be some sort of validation step (if I emailed from a gmail account I'm sure I won't get very far, but hey, why doesn't someone try?). I don't see a huge issue here, assuming this is how it works.
>I was surprised that there's only 3m ATMs!

I always enjoy these "how many gas stations are there in Chicago?" back-of-the-envelopers. My first thought was maybe a small city of 50000 might be served by 10 ATMs more-or-less. Scaling up to 7B people worldwide my first guess would be 7B/5K ~ 1.5M . Maybe even less to account for my unrealistic first-world-everywhere methodology. So my guess is wrong too.
Anybody care to run the numbers on j-school grads at 'traditional' publishers v techcrunch et al? I stopped reading techcrunch years ago when it became clear they largely copied & pasted PR. Rarely do they ask competitors/industry pundits to comment, a standard journalistic practice.

Easiest explanation is MIME type information. http.server module has only the bare minimum support for MIME types. Per standards things like HTML5 video tag are very reliant on MIME type information. I'd be willing to guess twisted handles a lot more MIME types.

Next most likely after that would probably be CORS which is also a HTTP header issue that something like 'http.server' implements only the bare minimum for.

Of course both of those are just a guess. If you had captured the output of your browser's dev console/F12 tools you likely would have seen what specifically your particularly browser was complaining about.
Hate to confuse you again, but it's a lot more complicated than that. Keeping the blocks small will also lead to centralization as transactions are forced off-chain. Making blocks bigger (within reason) will not increase computing, storage, or bandwidth requirements beyond what most people have sitting idle at home.

It's definitely the sort of paper that would get reviewer feedback if it was submitted to a conference, in that it failed to compare any related work. (But it's unfair to grade it by that metric because it reads like more of a "here's what we did" blog post, not a research paper.)

From reading it, I believe no other tool is both (1) non-sampled and (2) supports instrumenting all functions simultaneously. (At least none of the other comments in this thread point at tools that do this.)
I am never tired of this shameless plug: our state of the art open source instrumentation engines for Microsoft Windows where you can hook applications without even knowing about the complexities of hooking. The most programmer friendly is https://github.com/nektra/Deviare2 while the Microsoft Detours competitor is: https://github.com/nektra/Deviare-InProc

It has an embedded disassembler to smartly hook functions even if they have a jmp in the prologue.
How to lose weight for summer: 32 tips from top doctors
I think your point is that commonality in the different bins in the bazaar is good; that being said using a cathedral to do everything is bad...
There's a whole lot of people who want there to be a successful female entrepreneur so badly that they're willing to give a rising star the benefit of the doubt. It doesn't help that most members of this cheerleading squad seem to have little more than a middle school level understanding of physics or biology, and no desire to dive into the science before heaping praise on the charlatan of the hour.

> I can believe them [WhatsApp] when they say they don't keep data.

If that's true, I'm in awe of their integrity. Skype on the other hand now has complete disregard for user privacy. Skype stores your voice mails and video messages forever[1]. This is something that they started doing 2-3 years ago and few people seem to be aware of it. It's amazing how low Skype fallen from its early days when it was considered a beacon of privacy and on the cutting edge of encryption and security.

[1] Details: Clicking on Preferences -> Privacy -> Delete history (OS X) or Options -> Privacy Settings -> Clear history (Windows) pretends to delete the voice/video messages but it merely hides them from your view. If you re-install Skype on the same computer or run Skype on a different computer, all those "deleted" voice mails and video messages re-appear. The delete and clear buttons are basically lies; there's no polite way to put it.

Why Leicester City's seemingly simple tactics work so well
A "tech" company is a company that provides a good or service that is either completely new and only possible because of a technological innovation, or is a new company providing an existing service using a different vertical stack based on technology which came available after the incumbents were started.

Uber is a "tech company" because as they are providing a new business model for a livery service based on using an application to make a market that is distinct from the previous market.

Facebook is a "tech company" because they are providing a business model around sharing information between acquaintances (a social network) using an application and a web site.

Fedex is not a tech company as they are augmenting but not replacing their model or their processes. Foster Farms is not a tech company as they have not fundamentally changed the way in which they raise chicken.

I go back and forth on Tesla or SpaceX. Consider Tesla, they are a car company but electric cars have been around forever, their most successful incarnation, the Golf Cart, has dominated golf courses for decades. It wasn't the "idea" or the "product" that made the Roadster and then the Model S successful, it was the execution on the vision. Similarly SpaceX rockets are just rockets with better execution and better alignment with available technology.
How is everyone expressing their choice not a democracy?

What should happen? Who calls for votes? Who counts them, and who forces everyone to change - or not? In a decentralized model how exactly do we add a central authority without centralizing everything?

And further, why would we want to? So that people who aren't involved can have a say? I don't setup a 1-800 number to let people vote on what I watch for movie night - it's only relevant to those who attend.

Similarly, if you don't like Bitcoin then rather than getting involved just to mess with it, why not get involved in something you do like?
Travelling by train is so ridiculously refreshing. Grab ticket online or at kiosk. Walk on train. Sit down.

> I'm here to defend the judge's ruling, a position very unpopular among all my friends here in Brazil.

Your position is very unpopular for several, very important reasons. Not the least of it is the shutdown of a communication service that is used by most of the population, on the grounds of a single case.

There are other ways to go about this issue. Starting by the Itamaraty(Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

Don't forget that this was a single judge, from a single state. By all means block whatsapp in that state if you must. But Brazil was supposed to be a federation.

> The only way showing up earlier would help with throughput is if there are periods of time where the security is under-utilized with absolutely no queues. Which, from my experience with US airports, is a laughable idea.

Shrug, I've seen this plenty over the course of my life in the US, and I've only ever really flown big-city airports. It's not ubiquitous, but it's not like, super-rare or anything.
For the record, WhatsApp has had end-to-end encryption enabled for Android<>Android since 2014. And 92.4% of smartphones in Brazil use Android: http://www.statista.com/statistics/245189/market-share-of-mo...

So it is very unlikely they have any plaintext data for the users in question. Especially if the investigation happened recently since the roll-out of E2E on all devices.

Additionally, it's possible WhatsApp did not even store old messages for non-encrypted devices beyond a certain timeframe.
It's ridiculous that a lot of movies/series aren't legally available in many places of the world.

"I just turned it off since the battery wears down really quickly and I thought I might need it to make a call later."

Nice work, before all. Really. My respects.
Very. For the moment, you have to take your salary in your local currency. Therefore, you need an exchange to get Bitcoins, and the exchanges can be shut down.

People said The Great Firewall would never work. They were wrong about that, too.

Theory: Wright made promises that he would use his weight as Satoshi to overcome current political conflict within the Bitcoin community in a way that would satisfy Gavin. Gavin sees him as an ally and has vouched for him. A distasteful ally, but for the greater good.

Given how swiftly people are attacking Wright, chances are this would fail before the political situation can be resolved.

> Coming from other languages such as Python, Ruby or PHP you’d expect throwing and catching errors, or even returning an error from a function would be a straightforward way of handling errors. Not so with Node. Instead, you get to pass your errors around in your callbacks (or promises) - thats right, no throwing of exceptions.

Promises let you throw errors normally. They will propagate up the call stack in a similar manner. With bluebird, you will also get full stack traces in development mode and the performance penalty for that isn't too bad.

> The last thing that I found frustrating was the lack of standards. Everyone seems to have their own idea of how the above points should be handled. Callbacks? Promises? Error handling? Build scripts?

Promises are in ES6 (i don't think it gets more standard than that) and have well defined semantics, including error handling, shared between libraries: https://promisesaplus.com/

I know that Bluebird's promisifyAll might seem like a bit of a hack, but just try it out. It works surprisingly well, and its really painstaikingly tuned for near-zero performance loss. It will probably be both less painful to do and more performant than any manual attempt to wrap a callback based API into a promise one.

Its psuedononymous data the NHS has previously admitted can be deanonymized given sufficient effort but such deanonymization carries criminal and civil penalties.
I train enterprise node.js for a living.

My recommendation is to just use songbird (which exposes the forthcoming promise API from core, built on bluebird), async/await and the async `trycatch` library so you don't have to worry about a 3rd party package's choice of asynchrony. It also comes with optional long stack traces.
Belief in "correlation implies causation" admits the Law of Excluded Middle fallacy.

Just because you make an observation consistent with your beliefs, does not mean that you can claim all other explanations (complement of your beliefs) are invalid (primarily because you do not know what they are or could be).
Gavin is only human, I can say I'm surprised to the extent he stated so adamantly 'without a reasonable doubt', but again, he's human.

He said "I am convinced beyond a reasonable doubt." That's still a very high standard, but he left room for some doubt.

Indeed, most monopoly rulings have happened in markets with competing oligopolies.
Plot twist: Wright as Satoshi isn't the con. Bitcoin is the con.

After all, what better con is there to convince millions of people that you've invented a currency, and that they should hand over real money for bits and bytes on computers you don't even control. Wright had recurrent run-ins with Australian tax authorities, so he has a strong motive to shelter his wealth in a virtual currency. The article admits that all his business relationships say Wright is the best con-man they know. And the Bitcoin con has netted Satoshi over a billion dollars.

Double plot-twist: Bitcoin isn't the con. Money is the con. All the reasons why Bitcoin is a hoax apply to the U.S. dollar and other forms of currency as well.
Actually, I stumbled upon a Deleon (a major realtor in the South Bay) brochure yesterday, and due to the prices, they're willing to pay for a lot of complementary services to get your house sold (not surprising, since a $2 million sale will give the selling agent $60k, by the customary 3% fee, and they can make even more money if the buying agent is also employed by them). One of the services they advertise is ads on Chinese radio and newspapers.

Yeah you're right its not fair to call them dropouts.
Ah, cool. I just tested it out and it seems to work as documented. Unfortunately it requires root access, and incurs about 1 microsecond of overhead per function call on my machine.
I don't think Wright gained anything. Gavin, however, gained an enormous sum of money. If Wright paid him.

As a happy owner of a HackRF, I can say that this is better than the HackRF in basically every way other than the 5GHz band coverage. They have the advantage of producing their own custom chip, unlike the HackRF. To offer this at the same price point* seems pretty "next-gen" to me.

Considering how few 2015/2016 college grads will actually get one of those jobs at good companies, I think your large group is, well, any graduating class. If the Bay Area becomes unattractive for the kids who can't score $120k+, or for seniors like me who can't score the $200k+ jobs, it won't survive at the level it has been going on for.

In that sense, the distribution of salaries attached to the answers is telling. How do the startups and non-elite companies survive if nobody they can actually afford wants to come or stay? The area can't just be a playground for the elite megacompanies that can pay the salaries you state.
