Personally, after working on threat intelligence for almost a year I think the traditional indicator-based approach will be dead soon, as there are just too many ways to evade detection by mutating the indicators. Currently it's still a bit of a hassle to register new domains and IP addresses, but with the advent of IPv6 it will be easy to have hundreds of thousands of addresses for e.g. a C&C server -possibly even a unique one for each malware payload- which will render IP-based blocking very ineffective.

A similar trend can be seen in malware analysis, where already today hashsum-based approaches are only able to catch commodity malware, and are nearly useless to detect anything more sophisticated.

I thereforethink the future of content-security will rely on behavior-based methods and flow analysis, as those are harder to fake or mass-produce.

On the other hand, Google is in a unique position as they see a very large fraction of both the Internet traffic and e-mails being sent, which should allow them to detect new types malware much faster and more efficiently than almost anyone else. Really makes me wonder why they don't have their own anti-virus product yet (which seems to be a good way to spy on people's computers and gather more user data as well).

I don't see your point. Danes vote on Tuesdays, either before work or in the afternoon or evening. We don't take the day of to vote. Why can't Americans do the same?

The day of the week isn't the issue. I would find it hard to believe that an American would choose not to vote, because it would take 30 minutes out of his or her evening.

Voluntary voting effectively gives people with a single-issue obsession more power than everyone else, because they show up to vote. In compulsory voting systems, the outliers are moderated by the median, whose concerns are typically less emotional (abortion, guns) and more economic (price of milk, mortgage rates).

Political parties are a concentrated form of voluntary voting.
One of the reasons the USA's primaries system is such a caricature factory is because it's a concentrated form of a concentrated form of voluntary voting.

There are many people who propose models like these and don't think through the end game. The end game is that any party where elected representatives have their votes directly controlled by party members is a party that will be instantly stacked by well-organised single-issue whackjobs.

You like crypto? Too bad, the terrorists use it, vote it down. You're OK with gay marriage? Too bad, Jesus is agin it, vote it down.

Techno-utopianism doesn't solve for the fundamental constraint, which is that people will always disagree. No system can create smooth consensus. What is left is to design a safe, functioning system. Direct democracy's historical performance in this respect is abysmal, which is why we have representative democracy instead.

Perhaps not, but that equipment is recommended by pretty much every recognised outdoor association.

It's true to say that many routes wouldn't need that equipment, but many routes would be dangerous without it.

Asking people who, in this context, have little or no experience with outdoor trekking, to appropriately identify the necessary clothing, footwear, or safety equipment for a hike, is inviting accidents.

Mountain Rescue regularly picks up people from Snowden who are lacking the appropriate kit, such as hikers attempting it in winter wearing shorts and trainers [1].

I am fully in favour of encouraging people to "get out there and do it", but with appropriate guidance: advice from an outdoor shop, a rambling guidebook, a knowledgable friend…something that can steer them towards an activity that's appropriate for their fitness level, experience, and equipment.

In theory voting is compulsory. In practice it is compulsory to show up and get your name marked off. What you do after that in the little booth with just your conscious and a pen is up to you. (I usually take the pen, that's all I've ever got out of politics.)

I didn't know that the author was on the Excel team, but it doesn't really change my feelings.

I'd say that they were the right thing to do at the time, but in the long-term they turned out to be less than ideal.

From Microsoft's perspective, the formats allowed them to be faster than the alternatives, seemed easy to maintain internally from the sound of it, and they were able to cut and run from the format when needed.

If they decided to go with a format that would be "good" for the next 30 years, would they have been as competitive back then?

I am surprised by the down votes. I didn't realize drinking water was so controversial.

One data point: my neighbors, husband and wife, are a surgeon and a neurologist. We live in the mountains of central Arizona, and hiking is a favorite pastime. Both of these doctors say one should drink 1 quart of water an hour while hiking. I don't quite do that, but I certainly drink 2 liters on a strenuous 3 hour hike.
I totally agree with the concept of "gateway". Kind of like a social protocol similar to SMTP(which is for emails), by which Facebook/G+/<some-new-player> inter-operate. That's the best solution and the only solution to fix this situation.

If needed, Facebook must be forced to open up. Its a wrong kind of monopoly.

>I'd love to see someone try. I won't try myself for two reasons: I don't use Facebook enough to know what features would be necessary, and secondly it's likely to be a game of cat and mouse with Facebook both technically and legally.

SMTP protocol[1] is created and maintained by IETF. Ditto for social. I wonder why don't Google, who didn't succeed with G+, submit a 'social' protocol already to IETF.

His writings on economics, and concepts such as leftist intellectuals attempting to establish "cosmic justice" through the use of government intervention, are fantastic. It is hard for me to respect his intellect after reading some of his foreign policy articles though. It's a real shame he promotes the foreign policy he does.

Edit: I dont know if he came up with the "cosmic justice" bit but he certainly popularised it, and that has tremendous value for the public debate.

It's obvious to me that China doesn't care that much about the AN-225 design as for the design of the D-18 turbofan. They still can't design or manufacture a heavy turbofan domestically. This has seriously hampered their heavy airlift project (the Y-20, who first flew using Soviet-designed low-bypass 12-ton thrust D-30 fans, which killed its range). The domestic WS-20 turbofan design that was supposed to power the production Y-20 airlifter is still under wraps, which usually means the prototype is not doing well.

Getting access to a 20-ton thrust high-bypass turbofan design is a huge step for them.
I never said the law used the word "take". So what. I was obviously referring to the fact that no copy is being made, and thus copyright doesn't apply and "fair use" is irrelevant. A link isn't anything like using a small portion of a work for e.g. review and critique.

I'm not an American and have never been there. I come from a small country and I would happily see that country gobbled up by one of its more successful neighbors so we can share the economic advantages they have. Ultimately that means cheaper stuff and higher wages.

That would involve me getting more power, as you say. My new home country would now be slightly bigger and more powerful than before my old country joined it.

You could try to go outside and talk to different kinds of people more. Maybe changing multiple occupations wouldn't hurt either. So you could meet and perceive people from different worlds. That usually helps broaden your mind.

I am very much pro-encryption-for-the-masses, but also consider it to be important to be able to argue multiple angles on any issue.

So, playing Devil's Advocate, here is what an anti-encryption person would say in response:

Nobody really needs encryption, and the common availability of military-grade encryption powers terrorism on a global scale.

Terrorist groups use encryption to organize and coordinate attacks, such as the mass shooting in Paris that claimed 137 lives, with an additional 400 injuries.

If this technology could be countered by intelligence agencies and law enforcement, it would become almost impossible to use the Internet to coordinate terror attacks, or to secretly support terror groups.

Thousands of innocent lives could be saved if we just limited encryption to low-strength variants, which are still strong enough to safeguard emails and documents from nosy coworkers.

And really, what legitimate use is there for strong encryption? If the government wants your salsa recipe, they are just going to throw you in prison until you tell them. Your online payments will still be secure if the government holds a master key. The only reason you would need strong encryption without government oversight is if you have something dangerous to hide.
Higher oil prices also drive up the price of food around the world. In a more well off economies maybe higher oil prices cause people drive a little less. In lower end economies it just means more starvation and suffering. Without a suitable replacement, artificially driving up the global price of oil is literally killing and maiming (through malnutrition) people.

interesting talk on the global implications of climate change and rising sea levels:

http://www.paragkhanna.com/home/2016/7/29/will-climate-chang...
The author tries to make a case that this is not about incompetence.

One of the primary examples given is the case where shoddy analyses sail through peer review, because none of the reviewers know enough about those analyses to comment.

It's hard for me not to see this as incompetent. Are the reviewers incompetent for not knowing this particular analysis well enough to review it? Often! Most scientists in my experience (graduate student) have a pretty bad understanding of statistics and perform those analyses that will "pass peer review" rather than those which come from a comprehensive knowledge of the topic. And even if the analysis is new or uncommon, giving the paper a pass without mentioning that the analysis is beyond them is pretty problematic but is sadly also the norm (usually they could learn enough to review it in a few hours if they really wanted to!).

Then there's the more general fact that no one reviewing the paper is qualified to comment on what is arguably the most critical part - whether analyses actually show what the authors think they do! If no one involved knows how to do the analyses in question then the team is not competent to perform or review this work.

That's the result of sometimes an incompetent editor and usually a horribly broken system. The fact that checking the numbers isn't of primary importance in reviewing a lot of scientific work is a travesty.

Still think this is an awesome syntax for exploration and interactive use - the way results are accumulated, respectively shown, is also rather nice even though some particular ways to query data can be harder than in pure SQL.

One extension (for an independent implementation) I'm working on is even more defaults / heuristics for finding paths between tables, such that if you have a HTSQL query with /x.y.z you can leave out the y if it's clear from the context (or set by user preference).

Another thing that's practically missing is a defined standard grammar, the description in the documentation isn't suitable except as guidance.

The experimental setup is diagrammed and explained in part III.A of the paper:

>In order to experimentally confirm the existence of STOVs, we image the spatiospectral phase and intensity profiles of femtosecond laser pulses midflight during their precollapse and postcollapse evolution in air.

Appendix A gives the experimental setup in enough detail for it to be reproduced in a lab with the correct equipment.
>I would not call a country a democracy if they don't make it easy for everyone to participate in the election

Agreed. I'd go one step further and advocate compulsory voting (at least compulsory turning up). Even for the most civic minded, it's not difficult to end up with unexpected other obligations on the day and defaulting to a "oh well, one vote wont make a difference" mindset.

Compulsory voting also forces all employers to accommodate their employees going to vote.

Growing up in Australia, I didn't realize for some time that Australia was somewhat of an anomaly in the developed world in this regard.

I'm curious if anyone has seen any research on what the impact of compulsory voting would likely be in the US with respect to the major parties.
