Portsea Back Beach (and surrounds) on a hot, clear day is one of the nicest beaches I've ever seen, with the benefit of bay beaches 5 minutes away if you prefer that, this is only an hour or so from southeast suburbs of Melbourne, and minimal crowds and no traffic in peak summer.

In the city, I love cycling up and down the bayside trail. Sure you can't surf there, but to be able to the water and smell the salt on a bike path that can take you to the CBD, that's good enough to relax me. Lots of activities like kitesurfing, free beachside powered BBQs, etc make it a fun place when the weather is good enough. St Kilda beach is a happening place in summer with a lively boardwalk. Go further south on the path and check out Elwood for a quieter scenic environment. Continue on to Brighton Beach and check out the beach boxes. Keep going further and once you get to the Sandringham area the beaches become more rugged and ocean-like. On a clear sunny day it's really beautiful, water very blue and nice sand. Bonus: you face the sunset on Melbourne's bay beaches, which can be really nice, whereas the rest of the east coast of Australia only gets sunrises on the beaches.

Regarding internet - if you're in an area with cable, you can get cable internet which is 60mbit and fine. NBN is rolling out slowly which is 100mbit+ but mostly in newer developments for now. I could never do DSL. Mobile is good in the cities with Telstra usually ahead of US carriers in speed.

Unfortunately the climate outside of summer is kind of crap, relative to the rest of Australia, but the city is vibrant enough to offer other things to do in winter (which is not that cold, but the homes aren't built for winter and heating, and the sky gets gloomy a lot). On the plus side, you can take your vacations in the winter when it's summer in the northern hemisphere, or explore SE Asia where its warm year-round, or stay in Australia and check out Queensland or WA which are nice in winter.

This isn't really true. Envision a system where all components are secured by default: TLS-encrypted connections in and out (which doesn't currently really exist unless you put in the work), a VPN for entry, individualized SSH keys (via SSSD or something) for machine access controlled via group policies and whatever directory services are up for grabs.

These are pretty commoditized parts that should be easily deployed and should be easily bolted together. And in such a universe, you do get a pretty strong security story without having to break your back.

My main beef with stuff like Redis is that in almost every case I can think of it's selected by developers. Security isn't on their radar. The systemic component parts we currently have don't value security and offload it to the literally (not pejoratively) incompetent.
You are describing the condition but not addressing why it should be that way. IMO it is a basic human right to be able to live and thrive in our community. Of course I am not suggesting we all go live in the Hamptons and live it up.

But it seems to me that each of us is born in a place, and that place, having a government and resources, is obligated to foster a decent and productive existence for that person as they pass through life.

No, no, you got me wrong. The point is in faster invalidation, not validation. That means you are immediately able to tell an invalid token from a not-yet-determined one (but not from a valid one). Then you have to hit the database, but the number of hits is - in some cases drastically - reduced.
oh, you're a 'taxes are theft' guy.
> Why do you believe the regulation of these markets is particularly onerous? Can you provide some specific examples?

Have you ever stayed in a hotel, and have you ever stayed in an AirBnB? For me, in both cases, the answer is "many times", and the overwhelmingly clear conclusion is that AirBnB offers a vastly superior experience to staying in a hotel for a vastly lower cost. If you look at regional hotel regs; it's clear where the difference is going. Resort taxes, occupancy taxes, inspection and certification fees, etc. For all their costs and alleged benefits, they don't actually manage to make the hotel experience any better or safer than staying in an AirBnB.
If I can MITM your http connection, I can MITM your https connection.

But again, I'm not saying that there are no benefits to TLS, just that a blanket policy requiring TLS for _every_ government web service is a bad idea. One that prefers TLS or a best-effort-to-support TLS policy would make more sense.

Look at the history a bit. InCommon's use of insecure hashes required that all clients re-issue their certificates in order to avoid browser warnings. At the University level that was impractical to do quickly. At a federal government level? That's a whole different beast.

And look at heartbleed. How long did it take the federal government to make all resources secure again? Is it actually a completed project?

There's operational overhead to consider. There's the fact that MITM for http is minimally different than https. There's the plain and simple fact that a lot of data simply does not need to be secure. And there's the fact that there are already existing problems with making data available to the public at large.

If you want to provide confidence in government data, you could say that all certificates used by government resources are secured by X,Y, and Z certificate authorities and that would be a legitimate benefit.
Point 3 makes no sense...
Visiting friends there in a week or so... Any suggestions for what to do in winter there that isn't some outdoors sport or something that requires being outside for long periods? Our friends have a young baby so we have a limiting factor in our group.

Also, what is the tech industry like there and what neighborhoods are up and coming but still super safe?
Only if the supply actually increased enough to actually meet demand. It is far from clear that it would.

My wife and are getting licensed for foster care, and this week I'm installing several smoke detectors and CO detectors. We're required to have a minimum of one CO and smoke detector per floor, and an additional smoke detector in each bedroom.

Was our house acceptably safe without those? Probably.

Is it going to be better now? Certainly. It's a bit of work installing 7+ devices, but I understand that we've reduced a lot of risk.

Same thing with the fire extinguishers and other safety equipment we'll have to pick up.

Rental units here have somewhat similar requirements, and I think short-term rentals should have similar safety features.
And bases the argument on a single feed forward network, nothing about RNNs which most good NN NLP results are based on.
That is from two and a half years ago.
I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Deep Learning, is in fact, non-convex optimization, or as I've recently taken to calling it, generalized function approximation. Deep Learning is not a technology unto itself, but rather a specific type of mathematical optimization that has been known about for decades, is based on stochastic gradient descent, and only now is being featured more prominently due to enhaced processing power.

Many computer users run some form of mathematical optimization everyday, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the optimizations which are widely used today are often called Machine Learning, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically non-convex optimization, or high dimensional function approximation.

There really is Deep Learning, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the optimization mathematics they use. Deep Learning is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete rigorous mathematical framework. Deep Learning is normally used in combination with other ideas in classical mathematical optimization: the whole system is basically stochastic gradient descent with GPUs added, or large-scale numerical optimization. All the so-called Deep Learning algorithms are really algorithms of generalized function approximation!

Relying on firewalls and port-access is a sucker's game. There are too many ways to defeat it that TLS is not susceptible to.

This is a fault of Redis. It's good software, on some axes. It's bad software on this one and they really, really should be better citizens about it. Security is a collaborative effort and punting it onto largely-ignorant users does not wash your hands of it.

yes we have permanent 301 forwards set up since day 0. but still it happened in the short run.
> Hotel taxes support infrastructure and city services.

So restaurants that don't charge the extra foreigner-tax are destroying the city infrastructure? Or are their regular taxes expected to cover it?

Why not with hotels? Why can't they simply be assessed the real cost of supporting their usage?

If there was a cost associated with hosting an out-of-town guest, why is it a percentage of the room rate? Of course, the answer is "because it can be." Takers gotta take.

> Hotel taxes [also support ...] things like proper safety and fire regulations in hotels ensure that guests know where fire exits are, that fire extinguishers are available and operational, that smoke detectors are present in the proper locations and functioning, etc.

No. The room rates support that. The hotel doesn't keep the taxes so none of the taxes go to helping make the hotel safer.

> AirBnB offers none of those things.

Neither do a newspaper's classified ads.

Whose laws should they support? The guests? The hosts? The country the servers are in?

Should the newspaper have a similar burden? If I sell a car should they have to inspect the car first to make sure I'm not trying to pass off a lemon?
Growth of Chinese Social Media in 2017
I meant medical marijuana.
If you want a little taste of a DIY experience with your Linux, you could consider the Dell Chromebook 13 (i5, 8GB). Upgrade the SSD to whatever size you would like and install GalliumOS or one of the other options. I am pretty happy with the net result. There are plenty of articles online on how to accomplish this along with the pros and cons.
This "anomaly" caused hundreds of millions of dollars in losses, and was an unprecedented failure mode. It doesn't surprise me at all that it disrupted the launch schedule for the better part of a year (edit: actually the lesser part of a year, about four months total if they launch soon). If they manage to return to flight this month, it strikes me as rather quick.

I wonder if supercooled propellants are really worth it. It seems like a huge risk in exchange for a small performance increase. Hopefully this will be the last vehicle loss they suffer from it.
Whoops, good call. (They both work, but hey.)

Thanks!
"XML with XSLT"

You reminded me of my college days circa 2003. Built some fun projects with XSLT and XPATH.
It sounds like you mean if you change the signature used to sign the tokens, then existing tokens will fail validation without hitting the db? If so, that's not too practical because all of your users are suddenly signed out. What myself and the two other posters I think encountered is that you have to store revoked/invalidated tokens in a blacklist, and then check that a token in a request is not in that blacklist. (That was my first point, at least.)
For the OP if she happens to have a Wii U I want add Art Academy: Atelier to that list. I'm working through that now and it's keeping me engaged.
Precisely, to say don't have kids to responsible people is kind of eugenics that ensures that only irresponsible people have kids. (Maybe eugenics is a bit too strong of a word, but you get the idea.)

So you do keep guest accounts? In this case your security advice is appreciated but, I am afraid, is going to be ignored :)

> Peek in on any of those communities and you'll be hard-pressed to find the caliber of technical skill required to engineer actual exploits.

I am curious: so who, in your opinion, has been making all the CFWs for Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, Vita, 3DS etc? Who made modchips, dongles and flashcarts for other systems? Who cracks PC releases? Space aliens? People eager to run Linux inside Call of Duty? People who need to run their website off a 3DS?

Most piracy users are dumb kids but it does not mean all people in the scene are. You only need one person to exploit the system and then the whole world can just copy the method.

>Remove the necessity of an exploit for running the interesting use cases (even an "Hardware will be opened up after 1 year of sales" promise as suggested), and suddenly the actually talented people are doing more interesting things than trying to assault your security model.

Why should anyone believe this? Do you have anything to support this claim? Here is an idea: if you are really running systems with enabled guest accounts as you implied - tell the board where they could be found. I am sure nothing bad is going to happen :)
Just want to point out that the parent post cited specific evidence, with links to a fairly reputable source (wikipedia), to support their claims, which your counter-post lacks.

7-Zip is pretty awesome for actually usable encryption. On Windows, with the Explorer integration, you can just right click a file, select "Add to archive" and create an AES-256 encrypted 7-Zip archive that anyone with 7-Zip can extract just by entering the password.
For one thing, traders have knowledge of multiple markets and real-world events (hurricanes, elections, etc.) can infer correlation between those and place trades accordingly. AI is completely unaware of these things and can only train itself on the market data it trades against.

Also, not all trading is liquid, nor is it short term, both of which are targets for automated algorithmic trading. Long terms investments are typically human decisions.

I know this isn't the point you were making, but I wanted to take the opportunity to do a PSA.

While it's true you don't need any meat, it's not true you can get everything you need from an unsupplimented vegan diet (more accurately, it's incredibly hard).

If you're looking at a vegan diet, consider researching supplements such as for B12. If you're lazy and in the UK, Holland and Barret sell a single tablet supplement designed for a vegan diet (just ignore all of the other bollocks they sell in there)
