Equifax Will Offer Free Credit Locks for Life, New CEO Says
>Thus, users of EtherDelta must enter their public wallet address and private key when using the site, meaning their private key could be captured from the browser session by a malicious code injection.

This isn't some sort of fancy cryptocontract based attack. The private key is just stored as a JavaScript object in the session and an attacker found and exploited a reflected XSS vulnerability to send off the key.

Even if you're not sending your private key to the server directly surely some people must have made these users aware of the risks they were taking? Not only XSS risks, but risks of a rogue admin or backend compromise injecting malicious JS.

+1 for Julia is an awesome language, but for most LA problems it kicks it to the BLAS libraries! I think they have now fixed the native julia LA... Next week I'm deploying it to do reed-solomon repair (using a custom numerical type).

Loraham.org does seem a cool use to tinker with.
No he didn't tell me. I spoke to him very shortly in person before he asked me to meet him later.

I have since gone to the meeting and will answer these questions from my current perspective now that I have gone.

Basically, he liked my idea and wants to help me with it. Considering, he is a pretty successful tech founder, I would say that I can get a lot out of it. He helped me with the business strategy and coding. Unfortunately, I don't know what to expect from these situations since I've never done it before. So I'm not much help and have no idea what he's getting out of it.

I don't wish to go full fairy tale, which is why I only mentioned facts. One of my exes did a PhD thesis on California Native Americans during the mission period. The Spanish introduced the locals to the concept of corporal punishment, which afawct was alien to them.

None of this is to say that they were without technology, because science and technology are definitively human traits. Boat tech was pretty decent for the Chumash, and they traded inland to the desert tribes.

But there's an attitude that civilization must be superior here among lots of commenters here, with an obvious ignorance of what uncivilized life was actually like. We have traded away free time, clean environments, and live with family; for medicine, safety, and iPhones. We have also traded infant mortality, exile, and ignorance; for anomie, prisons, pollution, and tyrants.
Yes, but on a time scale of a year or more (disregarding corn reserves, which probably do exist but are probably too small to matter), we can only emit the CO2 from corn ethanol at the same speed we absorb it. This is unlike fossil fuels, which took millions of years to form but which can be used much faster.

CounterPath stopped selling Bria 4 in June this year, since then its been Bria 5 which IS supported on High Sierra. They also have an upgrade program for Bria 4 depending on when you purchased, with free upgrades if you purchased within 60 days of the Bria 5 launch, and 30% off for anything prior.

https://support.counterpath.com/knowledge-base/article/%E2%8...

I did my homework, yes I missed out on the free upgrade, but 30% discount ain't bad and with the frequency that they upgrade their softphone versions I think its way more fair than Parallels or other software where you pay $50 every year with very few updates in between.

A Mac and $99 a year. That's not cheap, and given how infrequently I replace my phone, might be up to an additional 50% on the base cost, even if you have the Mac. Around 2011 or 2012 I wanted to play around with making an iPhone app. I never did because I didn't have a Mac and didn't want to pay hundreds of dollars and a $99 fee on top of that just to play around.

I don't think it's fair to say that just because he took advantage of that aspect of his celebrity that he had no other life/talents/hobies outside of it. Its just the part we always hear about the most for obvious reasons. It'll take quite a bit to convince me most any human wouldn't gladly have their dream sex life, as well as all the time and money to pursue whatever else as well. It's not like it took up all his time or was challenging to atain what he did sexually, being who he was. I'm sure he fulfilled himself however else he pleased to the fullest extent as well. For me or your average Joe to live like that? Yea it would take all your time money and energy for sure lol
This indicates how bad things are in Puerto Rico. None of this is necessary for Texas or Florida. But Puerto Rico has lost most of its infrastructure, and it's an island. They have to get the ports cleared of debris and functioning before stuff can be brought in. They need basic communications just to organize the early stages of recovery.

It's going to be slow. In the domestic US, within three days after a disaster, the Interstates usually have been cleared and trucks are bringing in supplies. Fairly quickly, the big-box retailers like Wal-Mart will be back up and restocked with necessities. Puerto Rico isn't going to be like that. They need what amounts to a military invasion. The military brings its own infrastructure and can cold-start on bare ground if they have to.

Another big problem - the money system is down. No credit card processing. Few ATMs working, and those are mostly out of cash by now. This is the downside of the cashless economy.

I generally agree with your statement, but Apple goes a step further to say they believe it is a human right. That feels a little forced from a massive corporation.
I remember as a kid reading an expose on Pine Gap (ECHELON listening post in Australia) in an old Playboy. I think it was from the late 70's?

So I can say for certain, from a fairly young age, that I read it for the articles.
>My gut tells me Apple are taking this stance because they feel it affects their bottom line

You are absolutely correct, but maybe not in a way you think you are.

I currently whole heartedly believe that while Apple is obviously trying to maximize their profits, they are also in for the long game. They want the company to keep making money for decades to come. This means listening to concerns of your consumers is key.

Some times I get this feeling that Samsung and other smart phone vendors are always trying to one-up their competition. While Apple is trying to just improve on their own shit. Which sometimes means that their product is strictly worse in some aspects, compared to their competition.

Taking security seriously, which Apple has done in past years and now taking privacy seriously puts them in a very good position for the long term. They could have easily started to track their users and sell the data to get some instant boost in profits, but that would not have been good for business in long term.

> $\nabla_\mu T^{\mu\nu} = 0$ which is the generalized conservation of stress-energy-momentum

Unfortunately, for gravitational waves this is trivial, since they are vacuum--so T^{\mu\nu} itself is zero, and its covariant divergence is trivially zero.

There are ways to mathematically compute the "energy carried away by gravitational waves" from an isolated system like a black hole merger, but you have to use global methods to do it. For example, you can compare the ADM mass with the Bondi mass of the system; the latter decreases over time as GWs carry energy away, while the former stays the same.

The other and perhaps more modern approach is that hams are prolific content producers. Almost any topic will have loads of good YouTube coverage. Since many hams build there stuff there are a lot of really good answers to questions out there.

Yeah, I think it might be a familiarity bias.

Anyway, the point of access requesters are that they are much safer than manually protecting resources with mutexes. That is, using access requesters eliminates the possibility of data races[1]. Which is important because data races can be particularly insidious bugs.

Just like how smart pointers can improve safety by automatically managing object lifetimes, access requesters can improve safety by automatically managing object lifetimes and asynchronous access.

And then people wonder why millennials are waiting longer to date, lose their virginity, and get married.
Sometimes I feel like Mad Men's character Don Draper as he approached the end of the 60s. The show Mad Men primarily focuses on the careers of people of the Silent Generation - a generation squashed between two more sizable and therefore influential generations. Through Mad Men, we witness Draper
experiencing the radical changes
in culture toward the end of the 1960s, and his culture shock is obvious. Luckily, Draper had built his career and wealth before being ultimately succumbing to the new generation who took over. It's important to note that there never was a silent generation U.S. president.

Gen X is in a worse position - placed between baby boomers and millennials. The Baby Boomers usurped the culture of the Greatest Generation, not the Silent Generarion. Likewise, GenX culture has been passed over by Millennials. In this way, business skills that I focused on developing for 20 years have suddenly become unimportant and often considered old and archaic.
The only thing that could be construed as sleazy are that the women were naked and he didn't settle down with one woman. He conducted business with respect and used his eventual notoriety for the greater good. If perhaps you don't want to be as hedonistic as he was, that's okay, but so far as I can tell he was not exploitive, manipulative or untruthful, which is what I would consider sleazy behavior.
I mean to be fair what Apple is doing is a great marketing move. What they are doing is not all that complicated they saw a market where no one else was (others have tried, but didn't do it right or or make it user friendly enough). They saw that they could fill a the big void where privacy was too difficult for the average consumer to achieve and provide that. Whether or not you think that a big company could ever care about privacy doesn't really matter, because their actions can easily be attributed to what monstrously powerful for-profit corporations do. They saw an area of the market where they could go either way (sell consumers data or protect it) and saw that no one was protecting users data (easily) and everyone was selling it. And they capitalized on it, and turned it into something they could market. Yes it is hard to trust apple but its like trusting google to keep on selling your data. They are going to keep doing it because they have a market for it and they make a lot of money. Apple is marketing it as a feature and are selling it, and I doubt they will try to take it away.

To expand on your answer, judging by the IR led's in the 'floodlight' arrangements on top, I'd say 100% that they're scanning plates, and it's highly likely they're doing face scans too(i.e. http://iomniscient.com/) and other imaging.. For instance in Australia they sometimes check for people not wearing seat belts with similar camera arrangements. I'd also bet that they take speed readings.

They likely house a level of chemical-sniffing technology too, like police cars can be equipped with (http://www.inficon.com/).
These sniffers would likely be actively looking at emission levels etc (being near tunnels would provide a reason for that), however can also detect explosives etc.

This talk seems to always be relevant:

https://vimeo.com/135347162

Abstract: In this bleak, relentlessly morbid talk, James Mickens will describe why making computers secure is an intrinsically impossible task. He will explain why no programming language makes it easy to write secure code. He will then discuss why cloud computing is a black hole for privacy, and only useful for people who want to fill your machine with ads, viruses, or viruses that masquerade as ads. At this point in the talk, an audience member may suggest that Bitcoins can make things better. Mickens will laugh at this audience member and then explain why trusting the Bitcoin infrastructure is like asking Dracula to become a vegan. Mickens will conclude by describing why true love is a joke and why we are all destined to die alone and tormented. The first ten attendees will get balloon animals, and/or an unconvincing explanation about why Mickens intended to (but did not) bring balloon animals. Mickens will then flee on horseback while shouting “The Prince of Lies escapes again!”
A nuke wouldn't emit measurable GWs, but it would emit seismic waves. There are seismometers that are highly optimized for this task; LIGO, on the other hand, has extremely advanced damping technology designed to filter out seismic and other environmental vibrations. I don't know the details of nuclear-detonation induced seismic activity, but it seems to me that LIGO would be a very inefficient observational tool.

That said, I don't know if anyone has looked at our data in the vicinity of e.g. DPRK nuclear tests to see if any nuclear detonations are visible in the strain timeseries.
DDG is obviously not as good as Google, but I've given it a serious try and it works well enough. There are still times when I instinctively add !g to my query and times when I know that I need to use Google instead (some work related stuff just doesn't come up on DDG)

The thing is, Apple as a corporation is an outlier in a lot of ways and we saw that a big part of the Jobs philosophy when he returned to the company was to change it from the inside out. It's important to remember that this message Apple is putting out, they're telling all their employees the same story. That doesn't mean it's true or anything less than a position of convenience, but it does mean they are encouraging their staff to think it's true and make decisions based on that.

If consumers vote with their wallets for privacy, it's in Apple's best interest to continue on this path, to express it to the employees of the company, and we all win. Of course, emotions attached to a corporation are a branding strategy, but if it causes things to happen like Apple putting out the first line of phones not bogged down with carrier bloatware, then I'll take it.
Its almost as if the grain and corn could be fed to starving peoples around the world for a lower price.

Sarcasm aside, a lot of starvation could be counteracted with better distribution of excess corn at a lower price so I don't see a real problem. North American farms might be hit but the actual amount of labour needed at a massive corn-producing farm is shrinking every year due to technology (although there is also a agricultural labour shortage).
