Ah well, with Mediatek based phones it's pretty easy - you can readback the whole storage once you have its partition map from a rooted device, or you know the size of its flash chip and figure out the partition bounds later.

Dunno about the situation with other phones but given that many cheap Androids run Mediatek, it's not very difficult to claim a huge number of "crackable phones".

The only thing that should protect you from any kind of government snoops is encrypting your phone with a strong passphrase and shutting it off once you leave a room taking the cops less than 30 seconds to enter.

could you talk about how you are using capistrano to push to docker ? i thought you had to go the whole continuous-deployment complexity to do any such deployment.
It is one good clue for identifying neo-Nazi trolls. Checking your post history confirms this.
What's freedom of the press got to do with anything? Freedom from unreasonable search and seizure is, at least in theory, a Constitutional guarantee.

Incidentally another (theoretical) Constitutional guarantee is that government only has powers specifically enumerated. So asking why the government isn't allowed to do something is a funny sort of way to come at it.
because when you send messages, they go from your computer to your ISP, then to the internet. so anyone watching you at the ISP level sees you sent something.

Then, it depends where you sent it. Email goes to one person, so receipt of the message is seen on their ISP's side.

Yes the encrypted message is safe to be sent to the whole world, but there is no single public folder for "the whole world". That would be too many files. In order for the receiver to find what they wanted, they would have to browse the public folder to find what they needed, and this act of browsing strips the anonymity away.

The other problem is that you have to exchange the decryption keys with the person you intend to communicate with. You either need to physically give/mail them to the recipient (loss of anonymity in the case of mail), or else you need to exchange them electronically, which usually requires an A<->B exchange, or you can post your public key and let the recipient find it.

Basically, if you are a government watching all the communication from above, you can usually tell what path information takes, even if its posted publicly.
The word "resistant" is qualitative so they are not really making a bold claim.
The point was not to precisely define an alternative hypothesis. The point was to illustrate that the click-baity "physics is broken" view taken by the article is not warranted, and that there is very little consideration of the less-extreme alternatives.
I knew I forgot to mention some things. So far MAPS.ME has been an acceptable replacement for navigation, and its performance has been surprisingly good. I still don't like being tied to a closed source mapping app though, so I'm going to give OSMAnd a spin as well.

The battery life surprised the hell out of me, especially since I spent a couple of hours getting the launcher set up the way I like it. It's telling how much battery and data are used when your phone is constantly in contact with the mothership versus a device that only connects to a service when you strictly allow it.
Neither is FAT was/is innovative. This doesn't nullify patent or first adopter arguments. In context of Linux container is good example of Microsoft trying to piggyback on Linux.

No updated iso since June. Any plans for an update soon?

Also, shouldn't you just use Wayland for the stable 1.0 release? Why even bother with X11 at this point?

Do you plan to support flatpaks as well?
Of course it depends on the phone. Many qualcomm based Android devices seem to have had their Full Disk Encryption scheme broken at the moment [1], for example. But either way, if your disk encryption scheme doesn't fully wipe the disk before use, then any data that ever hit the disk unencrypted could still possibly be sitting there until its physical blocks are consumed (or could be in a cache somewhere). Again this also depends on the hardware, in this case the storage hardware itself. SSDs using TRIM can wipe unused, unencrypted blocks for example in some scenarios. Who knows about the particular functioning of some SD type controller in a phone or even the card's own embedded OS [2].

I would say if you have data on your smartphone you don't want recoverable at rest, take module0000's advice, then also use encryption, and then also use a multi-pass wipe tool on particluar files. Of course all of this could still not work.

For example, I'm not sure what the forensic ramifications of a seemingly more complex filesystem like APFS will be in the near future when it hits iOS.

«A problem I often find with economic truisms is that they tend to carefully ignore the time component.»

It's a bit of an aside, but I feel like I keep waiting for someone to finally invent a proper calculus of economics. Taking economics classes side-by-side electrical engineering classes in college the lack of time in most economics work seemed particularly jarring at that time. I kept wanting to convert economics to some semblance of electrical diagrams and investigate deeper the first and second derivatives of money with respect to time... (It's not the potential voltage (money) in an electrical diagram that is interesting, but differentials of voltage and current flow (and resistances to that), neither of which are well defined as concepts in any of the economics I saw in school.)
I think you're misunderstanding that quote.

He's saying (if I understand correctly, it's awkwardly phrased) that his company sells only to a small number of clients who are all regimes (meaning states). There are only a handful so he can vet them and demand commitments that the technology will only be used for good.

Plenty of other reasons to disagree. But, he is basically agreeing with you that this technology should be treated as a dangerous weapons-like thing and controlled in the way the sale of advanced weapons is controlled.

if you had to explain to an alien what happens when you go to a store and exchange a piece of paper for a candy bar

No you wouldn't. It's screamingly obvious that barter is an inefficient system since the chance that your desires exactly coincide with my output are low. The notion of using an abstraction as a medium of exchange is ancient; the advent of paper money, credit and so on is simply the consequence of institutional awareness eclipsing physical instantiation, ie accepting the idea of a bank as a persistent and reliable entity as opposed to shaving gold coins and hoping the next recipient doesn't notice.

That question was pretty clearly rhetorical. Read the rest, it's a good point about expanding the list of things we ask government to protect us from.

If government can protect us from big evils (warlords), why not small evils (insider trading).
Ask HN: Seperate front-end and back-end on web application
I need some advices and resources about completely seperating front-end and back-end on a web application.

The idea of that , main problem is deployment. My web application's deployments are not safe enough to deploy when only back-end or only front-end development's deployments. I want to deploy seperately also to make deployments safely component based. The application is huge enough and popular(realtime traffic 25k-30k). I made some research about this question but i need different ideas or get some advices according to your experiences. My application use Spring MVC with jsp template engine.

There is different libraries or techniques about front-end(such as angular, react, vue.js(extemely impressed)). When we seperate front-end and back-end it brings us to another annoying problems like SEO(Need server-side rendering etc.) and too much rest-api requests(And also that rest-api endpoint will request another webservices etc.).

So , I need nice technical approaches about this situation. Thanks.
Good to know, thanks. I do use a fairly secure password scheme; basically I memorize several smaller passwords made of random letters, numbers, and symbols, and I concatenate them in ways that make sense to me but (hopefully) are gibberish to anyone else.

Inzite Advice Marketplace/Platform – V2.0 Released - A brand new UI!
I see little wrong with this. I understand the idea that it's not necessarily right that ad companies stop supporting something based on ill-defined criteria, and I do support the idea that the criteria should be well defined. In this case, I think the criteria is pretty well defined: "pattern of speech that could incite violence or discrimination against a minority group." Although the site says that they, "have always and continue to condemn racism and bigotry in any form," their actions, in this case articles like, "Why There Ought to Be a Cap on Women Studying Science and Maths"[1], doesn't reflect that message and this in particular is discriminatory against women. There are other examples in the BBC article as well. The BBC article also mentions that the articles in question were written by a guest author, not a staff member, but the onus on posting something on the website falls on the staff, so that argument falls flat.

The other and simpler reality is that they are a private company that can do what they want when it comes to how they utilize their resources. If they don't want to serve ads on Breitbart then it's their choice. Even if they just arbitrarily chose to disallow Breitbart on their platform, it might be unjust but it's their right and choice.

On a more philosophical note, consider that all these issues of "fake news losing ad revenue" and the one mentioned here are generally only possible because the media is very free to post whatever they want and get paid for it, thanks to the USA's extremely free media laws. It isn't ideal for sure, but in some respects I'd rather have this reality where we worry about a specific news organization losing ad revenue than the reality where the only news that I can read is state sponsored.

I was wondering the same thing. If the data on the flash ram chip is not encrypted then worse case you just de-solder it and connect it to another computer and dump the data, I think I have seen that demonstrated someplace before. But I guess if they are using the users password you can just password cracking.

Uh, yes? These are known and common side effect and has been for years. How is it news?
Well, their computers are probably still out there, humming away. At least, in my mind they are.
True, but what is surprising is that there is something "it is like" to be that interior. As an example: CPUs can perform calculations on data we consider "representations". The outcome of those calculations, in turn, affect the world. We suspect that they do this without there ever being something it is like to be a CPU.

At first blush, we would suppose that neurons firing this way and that to create actionable representations would have the same property. Evolution would be happy. But there's something extra there: it FEELS like something to be a neural network in a sequence of evolving states. Why? The heretical hypothesis is that the feeling itself had a purpose and was part of the system.

Well, if a white person cites that research as a reason to halt immigration and preserve their racial and cultural homogeneity, then they are a white nationalist. I did not make a value judgement in my comment, I'm just comparing the text to the definition.

As to why this is specifically white nationalism, I'll pull some more quotes for you.

> Natural conservatives can broadly be described as the group that the intellectuals above were writing for. They are mostly white, mostly male middle-American radicals, who are unapologetically embracing a new identity politics that prioritises the interests of their own demographic.

"Natural conservatives" here are a group that the authors have identified as a key member of the alt-right coalition.

> This follows decades in which left-wingers on campus sought to remove the study of “dead white males” from the focus of western history and literature curricula. An establishment conservative might be mildly irked by such behaviour as they switch between the State of the Union and the business channels, but to a natural conservative, such cultural vandalism may just be their highest priority.

Here, alt-right members are concerned specifically by the removal or dilution of white culture. They might respect the promotion of other cultures in other countries, but in America they support their own culture only, which as we have seen, is white culture.

> Although the alt-right consists mostly of college-educated men, it sympathises with the white working classes and, based on our interviews, feels a sense of noblesse oblige.

Notice that white working classes specifically are worthy of sympathy, not all working classes.

> In response to concerns from white voters that they’re going to go extinct, the response of the Establishment — the conservative Establishment — has been to openly welcome that extinction.

Here, the Establishment is accused of not caring about white extinction. There is no concern about the extinction of other racial cultures, in fact that is the goal. Other races can stick to their own countries.

There is a section about neo-Nazis, but the authors dismiss them as generally unwelcome in the alt-right movement.

Yes, this article does promote the idea that racial nationalism is a natural impulse for people of any race, but it is written from a white American perspective, and promotes the idea that America should be a culturally white nation with limited immigration. I encourage you to read the whole article. I am not taking things out of context or twisting words, this is a description of the alt-right movement as a bunch of white people who want to preserve their own culture and halt immigration.
Encryption could help but eventually exploits can beat anything.
I don't think that's an adequate response.

I vote with a mail in ballot. My signature is checked by a human being (I know as a family member was audited when their signature differed from historical).

Couldn't web-based replace paper-based mail-in ballots?

With an on-file signature that generates a "voting token" that could be mailed to me for goodness sake, I don't see why mailing in a piece of paper with ink on it is a necessary step.
If the Mexican flag had been used instead, other people would have complained about that usage.
"Pay what you want" is a false statement. When I wanted to pay 1 cent they demanded a minimum of one dollar.

I may be a cheap ass for wanting these things for a cent but that doesn't change the fact that "Pay what you want" is a total and utter lie.

Ron Rivest calls for an election audit [pdf]
But she wasn't. Russia is a de facto monarchy, the United States is a Republic in every way that matters.

The President's entire executive branch has been sent home without pay (yes, they got back pay eventually but contractors often didn't) a few years back by Congress. His appointee to the Supreme Court was blocked very effectively by that same body. His trade deal (TPP) is likely not going to be approved thanks again to Congress.

Also, while the justices need the President's help to get onto the bench, they do not need it in order to stay there. This is an important distinction.
[FR] Comment ça marche le Machine Learning?
Emdrive does not warrant any hype:

- There is no reason to expect that it "works". Shawyer's original "theory" on which the design is based is wrong, the EW do not even mention it in the paper.

- Two other groups attempted to measure a similar device and published results. TU Dresden [1] people failed to get a signal, and the Chinese NWPU people reported failure (in the 2016 update [2], after debugging the first measurement). Both are consistent with null hypothesis that there's nothing to see here.

- Bringing up "quantum vacuum plasma" and Bohmian theory, but failing to give a working argument why they would explain anything in the experiment, or even be relevant for it. The likely reason for the failure to produce something intelligible likely is that quantum vacuum does not help here --- it's a well-understood concept (perhaps not to EW), as is momentum conservation.

Because all those other things actually make a difference to a person's personal life. Voting's only power is in the appearance of relevance so it must be slightly difficult to perform
I didn't mean to say that we shouldn't have knowledgeable people handling our voting machines (as pretty much any election shows, we certainly do). I just imagined sysadmins across the country saying "screw it, I'm taking care of this" and abandoning their normal jobs to take care of it.
> Software development, already dominated by tech behemoths, will become completely out of reach of small development teams simply because the regulatory burden is so high.

It might sound OT to bring up TPP in a discussion like this, but please hear me out: It's important to block broad international agreements like TPP because it creates competition among nations that would protect us from the dystopia you describe.

Let's say one nation, Uruguay, says "you know what ? Encryption is fine. And btw we're funding 1gb cheap fiber to everyone in our biggest city". Something like that could attract swarms of techies. Which would cause larger nations to think twice before their valued tech talent packs up and moves to escape their surveillance state.

I know not everyone can pack up and go, but the competition and fear of just how many might leave would be enough to keep even rich nations in check. But if something like TPP goes though, they can point to all its provisions and say "boo hoo, you're shitting on trade deals by allowing encryption, now we're going to bully your whole nation with economic sanctions"
I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if there is a way to use block chain technology to do it. You could keep the voters identity secret but still insure they vote only once.
Isn't this just "nurture"? I am used to dragging the camera, but you are used to dragging the scene?
