This dodges the question. The question is not whether the original is destroyed, but whether it matters.
This paragraph seems to explain why:

"DTN works by providing a reliable and automatic “store and forward” data network that stores partial bundles of data in nodes along a communication path until the parts can be forwarded or retransmitted[...]. This differs from traditional Internet Protocols that require all nodes in the transmission path to be available during the same time frame for successful data transmission."

I think there are plenty of situations where end to end communication links are temporarily down because something is on the wrong side of a planet or moon, having things held for retransmission as close as possible to the final destination would improve on this.
Some comments about comments and the code:
1. The URL shortener is just a demonstration of the framework being used. For a POC/MVP i would not expect it to be the most reliable code on the planet. Im ok with that.
2. The WAFer framework is great idea for bringing a very lite server and minimalist framework to certain devices. This has applications in SBC and IOT devices where all resources are at a premium.
3. Yes the C code might not be perfect but remove any github project that isnt perfect, secure and you wont have many left. The principle objective is 'get it out there' and let people like the other commenters have their input/opinion from which to make it better.
4. The concept and this lite implementation of the idea is hugely useful in certain use cases. Just like nginx is great for general purpose servers. This is almost a C implementation of Bottle for python.
5. nodesocket and chadscira seem to have gotten the point of this and given useful feedback to the authors (Im not one of them in case you were thinking that).

So to sum it up - a great post, excellent work with a tool that has a lot of potential for specific scenarios. When deploying if using things like Cloudfare Edge and giving it a bit of Productizing (my day job is as a Product Manager for a global ERP business) then this could be a hit (pun intended :-J ).

Right now you can get away with a lot of "oversubscription" in MDU situations when you have 1-2Gbps to the building (typical millimeter-wave radio speeds).

I wouldn't be surprised if they have buildings fed with 1x1Gbps going to 40x1Gbps clients.

(hand waving about Erlangs and queuing theory here) E.g. if you assume everyone is downloading a DVD image from a fast mirror (CentOS install DVD or something), they probably won't all start the download at the same time so there's a really good chance one user will finish their download before someone else starts theirs.

It doesn't scale because everyone knows it. It scales because React by nature isolates business logic into components so that for the most part 100 engineers can simultaneously work on the same product and be confident they aren't breaking stuff. (Or realize they are through merge conflicts)

> "properly componentized"

With React, 100 engineers don't have to know how to "properly componentize" things because it's already baked into the framework. You can't really write React code without proper componentization.

I believe it was Apple who pressured Alibaba to prohibit listing of wholesale refurbished electronics. It would've been too unsetting for Apple's images as a luxury brand to let people realize that somebody remarkets truckloads of used ifones from dumpsters every day.

Refurbished iPhones were a killer business:

1. A less than a year old phone with a defect (dumped by end users, Honhai, Apple's QC contractors) was sold for 20 to 30 USD;

2. Re-equiping a phone without charger, driver disk, or retail box did costs less than one dollar;

3. "Out-of-dumpster" phones, cleaned, and sorted by the level of "brokennes" were sold wholesale for around $50-60 USD a kilogramm;

4. "Recovered" ifones (bought out by recyclers from end users) were sold from 50 to 200 USD depending on level of wear;

5. A "full-service" that includes change of all external casing parts to new, non-original ones, reflashing, new battery, resoldered clean ports, new memory chip for phones with failing or degraded NAND flash, and bubble-wrap packaging did cost around 10 to 15 USD for small quantity orders;

6. A phone refitted to market grade A2 (identical to a phone from assembly line with less than 3 non-original parts) can be sold for up to $300 a piece.

It's really up to you. It's a tradeoff between spending additional effort on dev ops now (rather than product) versus building the technical debt that will be converting your app over later. If everyone on your team knows Redux then sure, start the app's architecture to scale to a huge team. If it'll significantly slow down product development then have everyone learn + convert later.

I'd err on the side of the latter (vanilla RN, Redux when you need it) to move fast on your product.

But you still have to prove it. Police are seizing cash without proving anything, merely on the suspicion that someone carrying that much cash might possibly be using it in connection with illegal activities. Heck, police are seizing assets that clearly were owned legally simply because of a tenuous connection with drugs (e.g. seizing a car because drugs may have been transported in the car at some point).

Basically, the simply act of owning $10k in cash should not be considered sufficient evidence that you shouldn't be allowed to own that $10k. Regardless of the bar you're setting, that suspicion simply isn't proof of anything. The reason why I said it's arguably unconstitutional is because the way asset seizure works, the victim is put in the position of having to prove that they do legally own the asset, rather than having the police be put in the position of proving that they don't legally own it. Our justice system is based on innocent until proven guilty, so why does asset seizure work any differently? This is yet another bad consequence of the war on drugs, I just don't understand why our judicial system continues to allow for this perversion of justice.

Do you have any additional info on this? A quick wikipedia search turned up a little bit of info[0], but suggests the targets destroyed were 6.5 miles from the submarine that launched the torpedo and presumably that the launching submarine was not destroyed:

On 10 October 1957, in another test at Novaya Zemlya, S-144, a Whiskey class submarine, launched a T-5. The test weapon, code named Korall, detonated with a force of 4.8 kilotonnes twenty meters under the surface of the bay sending a huge plume of highly radioactive water high into the air. Three decommissioned submarines were used as targets at a distance of 6.5 miles. Both S-20 and S-34 sank completely, and S-19 was critically damaged.

Here's the archived pricing page:

https://web.archive.org/web/20160413223832/https://developer...

The main change is that you can no longer make keyless requests to: Google Maps Geocoding API, Directions API, Distance Matrix API, Elevation API, and Time Zone API (at least if you try it from a new domain that hasn't previously made calls before June 22)

The quota changes as far as I can tell:

- If you hit up the APIs for, say, Static Maps, for more than 25,000 hits for 90 consecutive days, you would have to start paying. Now (after October 16, 2016), if you exceed 25,000 hits in a day, you will get throttled.

- Client-side Maps JavaScript API calls and server-side Web services calls, for services such as geocoding, directions, etc, are now summed together when considering the 2,500 requests per day quota. Previously, the server-side requests were counted on their own toward's that 2,500/day limit.

(that's my best reading of the current pricing page...it's always been a bit confusing differentiating between client calls to do map loads versus client calls to do geocoding versus server-side calls to do geocoding,etc)

edit: I'm not sure how keyless access is grandfathered in exactly. Here's the text from the announcement:

> Active domains created before June 22, 2016, continue to be able to access the Google Maps JavaScript API, Static Maps API, and Street View Image API without an API key. They are not affected by keyless access being unavailable for new domains.

I guess if you were to make a brand new domain and make a keyless call to the geocoding API, it wouldn't work?

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=16...

This will probably, eventually, affect all of the geocoding libraries (e.g. R's ggmap) that don't require a key by default.

The essence is simply this:

> Which journal was it published exactly, and what is "well before"? You're linking to a generic PDF file served in his personal site, which answers none of those questions.

I wasn't able to find a journal, but his website (and the pdf) have May 2013 for the dates. The same person appears to have given talk with a similar title at a conference in 2010[0]. But, if it wasn't published in a journal, it's tough to insist that someone else in the community should know about it.

He does seem to have a few peer-reviewed publications[1], though they're all from the 1970's.

> "Principle of an EM Cancer Detector"

> "Apparitions and Miracles of the Sun"

Yes, the titles seem crackpot-ish, but if you look at the abstracts, they seem a bit more reasonable. I don't know enough about human tissue to comment on the "EM Cancer Detection" paper but recall that MRI's use radio waves and CT scans use X-rays to detect cancers, both thus employ EM waves. So I'm not comfortable discarding it solely on the basis of its title.

However, the abstract of the second one you mention seems to be a reasonable study of possible origin of phenomena reported by other people:

This extensive study of “miracles of the sun” leads to the conclusion that they can be explained by means of natural physiological processes, while “apparitions” are related to altered states of conscience.

Nice. There's something about showing up people with vastly deeper pockets than ability...

I recall finally passing a GSXR1000 on my lowly CBR250RR about a decade ago on Philip Island, last few corners. He repassed me on the pit straight but then I got him back by nailing T1 and stayed there. That felt pretty sweet. (I'm a tall / heavy guy compared to the 250, so suspension etc was not proper; the GPR70 tyres were just about the only good thing)
Actually if that's what you want I'd advise you to buy a windows 10 tablet. They run old (and gog.com) games and come with decent mouse emulation and actually last 4-5 hours on battery. Taking games like Spelunky on a 400 gram tablet with you for on the train/plane is nice.

I also believe that trading real networks for supposed security would be a very bad move.

Network node security should not be delegated to the network. Not only would this necessitate forgoing very useful features that networks enable, you won't improve node security. Devices that are vulnerable by merely sharing a network with other nodes tend to have other more sever security lapses.

I agree that a button is simple way to switch between modes, but it will also make point-to-point the default. People don't change defaults, and companies will eventually cease to implement network capability as a result.

I'm all for better network security, but not at the expense of discarding the network itself.
I don't understand this sentiment at all. It seems like Perry's advice is most rational and reasonable and seems to be ignored by most of the Establishment and the general Public.

Is there any modern kernel in widespread use that runs while encrypted in RAM?

What kind of attacks would encrypting a running kernel prevent? The kernel and hardware work together to enforce memory safety, so it can't be to prevent a rogue process from reading kernel memory...

Edit: Is this talking about encrypting the kernel image in permanent storage, or encrypting a running kernel in RAM? When booting Linux for example, the boot loader will load the Linux kernel image into memory as a gzip-compressed blob. The kernel's first instructions are a small decompressor program that unpack the rest of the kernel image into memory and then jumps into the uncompressed kernel. Did previous iOS versions do something similar to their saved kernel image?
How much are you paying ?
So https://productpains.com is entirely written in React and React Router (no Redux, yet).

I have a few wrapper components that know how to fetch various datas (a product, post, etc). They then pass this data into their children via props. When the user makes a mutation (vote, comment, post, etc) I'll let my server know to make the mutation and then do one of two things:

1. Optimistic: "Fake" the mutation using state until the server response comes back, then reload the data

2. Loading Indication: Give some sort of indication that the mutation is happening (eg. a spinner) and then when the server response comes back, reload the data

We don't currently update data live when there are changes on the server. This could be trivially implemented with polling. Or the more complicated solution would be to use a socket and subscribe to certain datas on the server which would get pushed to the client upon mutation. (see GraphQL Subscriptions! http://graphql.org/blog/subscriptions-in-graphql-and-relay/)
The spokesperson is talking out of their ass regarding performance. The kernel is decrypted by iBoot once at boot, using the hardware AES engine. It remains decrypted until the device is shutdown/rebooted. Decompressing and decrypting the kernel takes less than a second at boot.

Also, TechCrunch fails to note that the kernelcache keys for most 32-bit kernels (and all iOS versions) are publicly available. Private individuals have dumped the keys for 64-bit kernels but they are not available publicly. Even without the keys, any jailbreak allows for dumping of the kernel. However, a kernel dump is missing very helpful MachO headers (handy for kloading) and, for 64-bit kernels, the EL3 TrustZone Watchtower module aka Kernel Patch Protection.
