If you're using a pre-shared key, the password is verified during the 4-way handshake. The thing is, if your password is wrong, then the Message Authentication Code (MAC) of the messages your are sending is wrong. The AP will simply drop frames with a wrong MAC, and will not respond to them. The problem is that as a client you do not know whether the AP is not responding because (1) the MAC was wrong, and hence the password was wrong; or (2) the message did not arrive at the AP (or you did not receive the response of the AP).

tl;dr: can't tell the difference between dropped messages due to wrong authentication check (i.e. wrong password), or dropped messages due to bad connection.

So instead of a giant SPOF database server, you can give every app its own clustered pair or triple of PG servers.

(PG clustering is sorta painful to get really robust, needs some work here.)

And if someone says "but it's unsupported" ... every third-party Oracle support shop is desperate to grab some PG support business. They can tell which way the wind is blowing.

There are probably hypothetical use cases where Oracle is a better fit (it really is a very effective and powerful database), but these are fewer and fewer.

That'd be because, like Australia, there's a very isolated ecosystem there that could be decimated by unintentionally bringing in diseased fruit from overseas. Australia has similarly strict rules on bringing food items, etc. in because it has a similarly isolated ecosystem where some diseases prevalent elsewhere simply aren't found here, so the ecosystem isn't resistant to it.

Here's a hilarious WSJ article about how the badly the alcohol served at Chuck E. Cheese's mixes with the kid's entertainment: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2145637/posts

'In Brookfield, Wis., no restaurant has triggered more calls to the police department since last year than Chuck E. Cheese's.

Officers have been called to break up 12 fights, some of them physical, at the child-oriented pizza parlor since January 2007. The biggest melee broke out in April, when an uninvited adult disrupted a child's birthday party. Seven officers arrived and found as many as 40 people knocking over chairs and yelling in front of the restaurant's music stage, where a robotic singing chicken and the chain's namesake mouse perform.

Chuck E. Cheese's bills itself as a place "where a kid can be a kid." But to law-enforcement officials across the country, it has a more particular distinction: the scene of a surprising amount of disorderly conduct and battery among grown-ups.

"The biggest problem is you have a bunch of adults acting like juveniles," says Town of Brookfield Police Capt. Timothy Imler. "There's a biker bar down the street, and we rarely get calls there."

It isn't clear exactly how often fights break out at Chuck E. Cheese's 538 locations. Richard Huston, executive vice president of marketing for the chain's parent company, CEC Entertainment Inc. of Irving, Texas, describes their occurrence as "atypical," saying he has heard of "four or five significant adult altercations" this year. But in some cities, law-enforcement officials say the number of disruptions at their local outlet is far higher than at nearby restaurants, and even many bars. "We've had some unfortunate and unusual altercations between adults at these locations," Mr. Huston says. "Even one is just way too many."'
There's something in the idea that someone already in nonchalant violation of one social norm (wear shoes while in a public establishment) may well nonchalantly violate another (do not assault another person). It being the UK, I'm sure private security staff aren't permitted any more effective armament than a moderately harsh word, so it's quite plausible the guard with whom you spoke actually did feel threatened. Of course you're the sweetest fellow ever whelped and wouldn't so much as look crossways at a frog, but did he know that?

We are, after all, a species capable of some pretty astonishing levels of savagery, when we really put our minds to it. This is true of any ape, of course, but we're clever. The primary reason for social rules and norms to exist is to restrain us, by some means short of battery and homicide, from exercising the inventive nastiness that is our heritage. Of course one may break some such rules, like that about shoes in public places, and harm no one - but an important secondary function of compliance is in signaling probable harmlessness: "I follow the same rules you do," it says, "and therefore will not hurt you." Of course this may be false or even deceptive, as when serial killers use it to improve their ability to obtain victims. But the signal is itself meaningful, and the choice not to present it likewise.

Break what rules you will, to disregard the importance of such nonverbal signals is frankly foolish - potentially dangerous, too, in that you may through ignorance or carelessness betray yourself into another situation that poses you a real risk of harm. I don't know whether you still omit footwear at Tesco, but if so, perhaps at least now you'll better understand why people look at you funny when you do.
I believe that the future will be for applications as SaaS or selfhosted on your own server and everyone will have an account with aws or any cloud provided or self hosted cloud. So all the data will be on your own cloud and the data will be stored in a standardized way so that we can switch to another service and data will always be with the user.
I don't agree with the premise. It's hospital-acquired pneumonia that is the greatest concern and the biggest incubator for resistance. There's really no need for GPs to withhold antibiotics from at-risk groups to take at home.
All of my devices are encrypted. Though I'll be doing some key rotation as a result of this, I'm confident none of the devices will be able to be decrypted.

Perhaps it's testable the Sherlock Holmes way of eliminating everything else and being stuck with that as the only answer you can think of. Not a very convincing test of course, but better than saying "we can't think of any possible way this might work".

Ask HN: What is the minimum military spending that would keep the USA safe?
Currently the 2 largest rivals are Russia and China, and their spending totals about $300 Billion. Our budget is $600 Billion. If we have superior efficiency and weapons technology, is it reasonable to state that we could lower our spending to about $300 Billion and still have an adequate deterrent against aggression?

Is it likely that a de-escalation of spending on our side may cause decreased spending by rivals?

>What you are essentially saying is that every prediction that doesn't claim certainty is always correct.

This seems to be the crux of it. No, what I am saying is that when you want to laugh at the polls/pollsters, you should be arguing how their methodology was wrong and what they could have done to find the true proportion +/- some standard error with however much confidence level. Simply laughing at pollsters when the minority wins is not good enough. 20% chance of winning and then actually winning does not seem all too unlikely to any reasonable person.

If you want to know why its "often" and not "always" visit your nearest library and take a look at the size of books on the subject.

And here lies the problem with the internet today and the comment boards such as these. People will actually walk away reading these kind of 2 minute summaries thinking they know something about the subject at hand. And on top of that you can get yourself a great rep "educating" and "informing" the public without ever actually "educating" and "informing" the public.
>I don't think refusing the full body scanners has anything to do with it

It might have had very much to do with it though, as in, the person refused body scan, and the TSA agent, who now had a chance to focus on them more, found them suspicious.

(In that, if they just went on an complied with the full body scan, the agent might not have thought about them twice).

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish - TSA agents are no more trained in computers than your average mall-cop and if they do decide to inspect your electronics, it's likely because you were flagged already when the ticket was purchased or you rubbed the agent the wrong way. What your drive looks like is probably irrelevant as the decision to copy isn't based on evidence or practicality it's based on an order from higher up or a whim, and then procedure is followed, which for electronics is to plug the drive in and do a copy of some sort.

I mean you can do whatever you want but only the encryption is going to do you any good for actual security. Even if you make it really convincing that the drives are empty, procedure is still going to make them plug it into the copier anyways. I mean, from the article, they're confiscating headphones and power cords - there's no rhyme or reason here except intimidation; the agents don't investigate - someone else does.

Do what you like, but it sounds like hassle you're adding to what is going to happen anyways.

>1) My point above was that the legal analysts said that the new corporate free speech rights, which the Supreme Court said were Constitutional rights (if I understand correctly), might invalidate those laws.

Another mistake was that when originally released Python 3 did not offer enough shiny new things to convince people that going through the pain of upgrading was worthwhile.

Not only that, they effectively took away a lot of vital shiny old things like numpy and django. It was something like 3 years between python 3.0 and the first stable releases of numpy and django with python support. That was 3 years where python 3 was effectively useless to a large number of python developers, and you can lose a lot of momentum in 3 years. Had the core python team gotten together with the teams for numpy, scipy, django and a couple of other big name libraries and coordinated the release of python 3 with versions of all those libraries that would work with python 3, then I imagine things might have gone a lot smoother.
A lot of people are quoting from the EFF, which I caution with regards to the TPP. They had a shambles of an AMA last year on the TPP where they failed to argue their points very substantively at all:

https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/453zzk/what_tpp_means...

It's also worth noting that they were invited to be part of the TPP negotiation process but declined. The agreement itself is not that difficult to read. It's meant to be used as a practical functional document, after all. The one thing that is a little tricky is that carveouts and exceptions to one mechanism or another may be listed in a separate chapter.

> How do you know you need an antibiotic?

An excellent question. If house calls aren't going to be brought back, the best I can think of is to allow consulting over the phone.

> If you really are so severely unwell that you can't reach a GP, then perhaps an ambulance really is appropriate.

Come on, if everyone called an ambulance every time they were too sick to travel, the system would probably collapse under the overload. Besides, every time you set foot inside a hospital, you expose yourself to the risk of picking up an antibiotic-resistant infection.
I would be very interested in seeing the correlations between set-up time and total devices in the area (or, to be more precise, total channel utilization). This paper studied devices associated per access, point, which is a separate metric. They mentioned the issue in a paragraph at the end of a section, probably dug up in post-study literature review.

From work in wi-fi router development, high channel utilization is often a much bigger determinant of packet loss than either router overload or RSSI. Hour of day is probably just a good proxy for this.

802.11 is pretty good at handling the shared medium when a single access point can do traffic control, but multiple access points in a crowded city or office building gets you into all kinds of problems. Usually you can get big performance gains in large deployments just from making sure nearby access points are on different channels.

Between the other two major factors the paper looked at:

1) The number of clients a single router can handle is mostly limited by CPU power (and the failure mode there is typically not association request drops, since those are usually processed pretty early in the packet pipeline, without much queuing). So I'm not surprised that they saw very little effect of number of associated clients with connection time.

2) RSSI is more important in low-interference environments, where the ability to hear packets over the noise floor is a big limiter. In dense, high-interference environments, it helps a bit in terms of being able to shout over the noise of very distant interference sources, but for the most part a collision is a collision even with substantial magnitude differences between the colliding packets.

You would be right if the antibiotics resistance was 'free', i.e. had no downside, but IIRC it does pose a cost of some sort so when not in an environment with antibiotics there is evolutionary pressure to lose the resistance.
When #first7jobs started trending on Twitter last year, I assumed it was a phishing attack - I've been covering such for years - and it turns out that two major banks were using jobs.. one was first job, the other was second job.

Two for one is a good deal.
I get a bit antsy when I see big unexpected flips in numbers like that and think Johann Hari oversimplifies the case.

That was the initial study, a followup with 943 Vietnam vets by the original researcher Lee Robins found that:

"In the 8- to 12-month period since their return, about 10% had some experience with opiates, but less than 1% had shown signs of opiate dependence. In the “drug positive” sample, three-quarters felt they had been addicted to narcotics in Vietnam. After return, one-third had some experience with opiates, but only 7% showed signs of dependence. Rather than giving up drugs altogether, many had shifted from heroin to amphetamines or barbiturates. Nevertheless, almost none expressed a desire for treatment." [1]

So the point still stands that environmental factors affect patterns of drug abuse, but it is complicated by two things, the numbers are less dramatic than "95% simply stopped" and also would raise one concern that addiction was clinically tested on return but was self-reported in the interviews.

>Someone's anecdotal experience and laymen theorizing is next to useless compared to data.

Data are next to useless without proper interpretation of what they mean.

And even before that, we must assume that the data are correctly collected and relevant.

And something like 80% of research papers have been found in meta-studies to be non reproducible, to the extend that scientists speak of a "reproducibility crisis".

So, unless we're talking about hard core sciences, like physics and the like, where things are testable with actual experimental apparatus and hard numbers (and even there, I wouldn't go into speculative stuff like String theory), I'd take any society/psychology/physiology related study with lots of grains of salt.

Up until the 80s it was "scientific fact" that being gay was a abnormal mental condition -- supported by scientific papers and literature.

Or take the dietary (the official scientific dietary advice) over various decades, and how it made a u-turn regarding fat, etc.

They thought they were going to be able to do the quick cost cut and then buy another company, in this case Nortel, and then flip it is an IPO. They actually made a mess of the company, then 2008 happened and then made a bigger mess with the Nortel acquisition (strategically made no sense, paid way too much and then botched the integration). The part of the Nortel business that Avaya bought was actually profitable at the time.
