Haha.

I've been playing around with (and written about) the idea of a new set of authentication factor categories. I think part of the public perception problem is the "things you have, know and are" slogan of authentication (factors). It is super catchy, but makes biometrics ("are") way too prominent. It promises you can prove who you are by who you "are". Why the need for the other 2 categories?

I'm still on the fence as to the replacement, but I think seperating the factors based on "knowledge" versus "possession", and then further based on high versus low "transferability" is a good start. Smart cards are highly transferable possession factors, whereas biometrics are lowly transferable possession factors. Passwords are highly transferable knowledge factors, whereas things like keystroke dynamics are lowly transferable knowledge factors. The model really just lacks a catchy slogan now.

You don't have healthcare cost under the NHS? I'm Dutch and I have lots of healthcare costs. A bit over €3000 in tax, €1100 in insurance, €885 deductible, €300 dental, €300 physiotherapy, €50 in uncovered medicine.

I would love a website that broke these costs down for me in a logical way so I could streamline my personal finances.
Stupid people tend to die and gave example, or make bombastic plans that later explode in their face, so we, the rest of stupid people can learn something about the experience. Don't gobble this berries nor those shiny mushroms, don't pet this nice crocodile, don't jump over this small canyon with a too short pole... the list is endless.
I'm diagnosed borderline personality disorder and at least for people suffering from BPD what they need is less of themselves. If you take a gander at the subreddit for BPD-identifying people, it's a disaster, precisely because those who struggle with BPD are so poorly equipped to help anyone else let alone themselves.

The best thing I did for myself was to surround myself with the people who both displayed the traits of mental health I desired in myself and were understanding enough to forgive me when I "looped out". I've savagely fought this thing long enough to no longer be at great risk of these displays of raw emotion and decoupled thought patterns.

I'd argue communities like these cause stasis, or worse, slipping backward. If you struggled with issues of identity and there were others around you struggling with such issues, would you be any more likely to feel the selective pressures to craft a stable one? No, of course not.

Can I drop a little of the Buddha here? Please forgive the liberal concision I've applied to the original quote, it more or less grasps the gist: "what one thinks upon, dwells upon, one becomes." When the suffering are caught up in themselves, surrounded by their reflections, they're going to be further bent toward it.

Last bit of the Buddha, promise: "And what is meant by admirable friendship? There is the case where a lay person, in whatever town or village he may dwell, spends time with householders or householders' sons, young or old, who are advanced in virtue. He talks with them, engages them in discussions. He emulates consummate conviction in those who are consummate in conviction, consummate virtue in those who are consummate in virtue, consummate generosity in those who are consummate in generosity, and consummate discernment in those who are consummate in discernment. This is called admirable friendship."

The word you are looking is Soviet Russia. It's not a panacea.
European Union countries would likely be as developed if they were in a single market union. Governments have the control on the population that they can afford. Poorer societies are more prone to crime, less law compliant. Poorer societies can't afford a police state.
The thing you learn in Security 102 is that you should encrypt passwords in HTTPS anyway, because so much of your middleware will assume fields aren’t secured, and will happily log them — that while from a theory standpoint, password-over-HTTPS is fine, in practice it’s a liability due to organizational issues.

You can securely send plaintext over TLS, but it’s best not to when avoidable — precisely because it’s inviting the disaster above.
Do people naturally have a better sense of what a gram of gold 'should' buy versus a $50 note? I'm only going on personal experience here, but I doubt it.

Here's another possibility, though: what if a lot of the consumption that was stimulated since the GFC was really capital expenditure brought forward - things like households upgrading and replacing their durable goods - replacing that dodgy fridge a little earlier than was planned, that sort of thing? Eventually that well will run dry, and households might well start saving instead of buying concert tickets or whatever.
I was desperately reading every "notable artists" under each box trying to at least find Shpongle, even if it was mislabeled. Was disappointed in this as well.

It is a very insightful guide with good overall info, but it's missing some key points.
Appears so. From Wikipedia's page about Cuckoo's Egg: "eventually tracked the intrusion to a call center at MITRE, a defense contractor in McLean, Virginia"

Page 4 of this PDF shows McLean, Virginia as the HDQ.

Weren't the protests about oil pipelines mostly? We've seen those fail with bad environmental effects a few times now. Apart from stricter and enforced safety rules, I'm not sure what could lead to a compromise here?
Yeah I constantly have to go around making a funny face nowadays. The trick to a safe new face is to take 4 random words (for example: horse, clown, sad, elf-ears) and create your new face by imitatating that 24/7. Or you use a face manager (or make-up artist as it is called in non sec circles) so you just have to remember one face.
$9/day after doing all that is still insane. This is not NYC or SF where that is the cost of a bagel.

Price signals may work but at the end of the day utilities need to be cheap enough that the poor can mostly use them without thinking twice. The elderly can't just turn off their A/C in high heat.
Really I guess that the Apple ][ was a platform rather than just a single machine.

So you've got the original Apple ][ which a C64 would have been a much better machine than with the benefit of 5 years and super aggressive cost cutting. However you've also got the Apple iigs in that family.

I think I'd see that as a much better machine than the C64 (but obviously much more expensive too).

Is there any actual support for this theory besides its status as an internet meme?
You mentioned some of the artists from the Blueroom Released label where I cut my teeth with audio and video streaming with RealMedia. And learned that productive offices can be equipped with high-end loudspeakers. The web's come a long way since those days.
Maybe it's wrong for civilized nations and OK for not so civilized?

Also, Iran is nowhere like a dictatorship. Mr Ahmadinejad who was labelled as a dictator by the west, just lost an election one day. Can a dictator possibly ever lose an election? As for the Ayatollah, they aren't really politicians. More like Kings in the constitutional monarchies or say Japanese emperor - a figure of authority who has a big weight in taking decisions, but not an everyday ruler.

They absolutely should be criminally liable for risking the lives of everyone on board because they won't take a different laptop, or none, with them.

If the search is only 5% effective then the deterrent needs to be something you wouldn't risk a 5% chance of happening, year in prison, or a fine of 2 times your average annual income seems about right?
>"instead of saving a hash of the fingerprint (that can’t be reverse-engineered) they are saving people’s actual fingerprints that can be copied for malicious purposes."

ffs, so anyone who's watched myth-busters can literally re-create the fingerprints of millions of people to bypass security or plant evidence.. If there is any justice in the world, Suprema should be liquidated to compensate the millions of people who can no longer use their fingers as a security check.
My favorite part of new tech company filings is looking at the risk section and finding something to the effect of: "We are not profitable, and may never be."

> We have a history of losses and, especially if we continue to grow at an accelerated rate, we may be unable to achieve profitability at a company level (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the foreseeable future.

I understand the reasoning behind having these in the document, but I always get a kick out of seeing it said so plainly.
Very interesting point about Democracy. It suggests that Democracy has a natural scale, for example a city or town of a certain size. The city-states of classical antiquity, the middle ages, and the renaissance seem to support this. Of course not all the city-states were democracies, still, I think your point about physicality and democracy is grossly under-appreciated today.
If you're in one of the cities where it meets, the Homebrew Website Club is great for that. If you aren't, think about starting one yourself. They're great.

Once your content leaves your device (and in some cases once it enters your device, or even once your device is on) there is no guarantee of any privacy. Someone somewhere may eventually see your content, even accidental pictures that would be inappropriate for anybody to see, that you'd delete after, but oh whoops it's already backed up to the cloud. Sad how many wont even realize the implications of any of these services.
This resonates with my experience as well. For me, the goa/psy trance community will always remain the most open-minded, friendly music community I've been part of. I'm even kind of proud to have been part of that scene, doing my 2 ct. contribution to it (mainly, connecting artists with labels and vice versa, giving artists feedback on their tracks, buying legal copies, as well as sharing obscure material to goa trance lovers). And I have been part of many (music) subcultures in my youth.
The VPNMentor krewe carried out responsible disclosure according to the upstream blog post. That's good.

Whatever happened to Defense in Depth?

All secrets (yes, all secrets) eventually leak ... so

1. Perimeter security should be good.

2. The body of secrets behind any given perimeter should be small, so fewer secrets leak in case of a perimeter breach.

3. Breaches and leaks (data exfiltration) should be detectable, and actually detected.

4. Corrupting the body of secrets by inserting or changing them should be defended against rigorously.

5. The secrets themselves should have limited utility. Securely hashed passwords are a good example.

6. The secrets should have limited useful lifetime. Credit cards can be replaced, so they meet this criterion. Fingerprints... their useful lifetime is the same as the subject's lifetime; not so good.

Not even state actors with unlimited talent and funding (hi, NSA!) can prevent secrets from leaking. So why don't more secret-gathering organizations do steps 2-6, or at least try to do them?

This Suprema outfit has a lot of business in Europe. It seems likely they will be severely punished by GDPR enforcement.

Man your whole post reeks of idiocy. When they control the software they are going to jack up prices and engage in extortion, that's why they want to move software into the cloud and prevent you from having "honest files". You'll need now to pay protection money to decrypt/access them.

They want to force you and move you onto their next product/upgrade/service and the more control you give them, the more money you're going to pay. The idea you're going to pay less when you said yourself - the stupid and ignorant masses are ok with being exploited... means prices are going to go up not down because the average consumer isn't sophisticated that means prepare to get bent over and get fucked.

You don't seem to understand the basics of big business - they want monopoly profits, and there's no better way of making mad profits then fraud and extortion off the stupid technology illiterate masses.

>And by the way, you never owned Warcraft or Diablo.

Yes that's because lobbyists bribed one sided intellectual property laws into being so that your basic rights as a member of the public to own softwere and the source code was never part of the agenda, you're the exact type of idiot who is uninformed and politically illiterate.

Since 1990, The Walt Disney Company had lobbied for copyright extension.[12][13] The legislation delayed the entry into the public domain of the earliest Mickey Mouse movies, leading detractors to the nickname "The Mickey Mouse Protection Act".[4]

In addition to Disney, California congresswoman Mary Bono (Sonny Bono's widow and Congressional successor), and the estate of composer George Gershwin supported the act. Mary Bono, speaking on the floor of the United States House of Representatives, said:

Actually, Sonny wanted the term of copyright protection to last forever. I am informed by staff that such a change would violate the Constitution. ... As you know, there is also [then-MPAA president] Jack Valenti's proposal for term to last forever less one day. Perhaps the Committee may look at that next Congress

If you collect the data, some of it will be exposed, that's a very real risk. Especially in cases like this with biometrical data that can't be changed. I wonder if something will change after a few big leaks in this sector.

Did you try DuckDuckGo?
Why would it make me feel better? Why are my feelings even a relevent topic here? There is absolutely no shortage of grandstanding in both camps.

Since you care about my feelings you might like to know that the thing that upsets me most is the almost complete lack of rational debate surrounding this issue. If you could link to a non-partisan, fact based article designed to actually impart information and enable people to make up their own minds, rather than an article designed solely to sway opinion, that might make me feel better.
There's a company overview PDF on this page: https://www.mitre.org/publications/all/mitre-an-overview

"Maintaining military strength. Transforming global aviation. Thwarting cyber criminals. Adapting to an evolving healthcare landscape. Responding to citizens’ needs... These are just a few of the critical challenges that our government tackles daily. The MITRE Corporation, a private, non-profit organization, operates federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) that help government agencies address many of these challenges."
My work is a mix of 3D modelling, painting, and coding. For the modelling and painting I'm like that girl sitting with her cat by window ledge; the work flows with the music. When coding music is way too distracting, it requires intense mental effort. Same for technical animation; understanding how objects move is hard and I would get nowhere with psytrance thumping away in the background.
Very interesting posts. Thank you.
The Norway Problem – why StrictYAML won't do implicit typing
They take land to sell to developers to build strip malls, luxury condos or mixed use buildings (whichever happens to be politically fashionable that minute) often enough that taking it for an actual utility should be no issue.

The problem is that you have a bunch of people who are militantly against anything fossil fuel because it's part of their political identity who get their politicians to block any fossil fuel utility project.

Sure, fossil fuels aren't good in the long term but only an idiot would deny that having more natgas available cheaply resulting in less power being generated by and fewer people heating their house with oil is a significant improvement over the status quo.
was not intended to be a put down, but I could have probably added more to my comment
It's a matter of personal taste, of course. But yes the absence of lyrics, the long-running tracks (that are usually blended so there's no break), the pattern-based yet evolving structure and the upbeatness... These are all things that help me "get lost into code".

It helps push out distractions and it's like a canvas in my mind onto which I can load up all the abstractions I'm working on, the mental equivalent of pulling lots of papers out of my bag and spreading them onto my desk. The funny part is this kind of music makes my mental "desk" feel a lot larger and somehow allows me to work on more complex problems.
I for one, appreciate the reference. Thank you for the laugh :)

Is there a list of all countries/companies using their software? My country uses those fucking stupid finger-printed ID's. I'd very much like to know whether they use Suprema's system.
It's useful if you feel like listening to "a certain sound". Knowing which (sub)genre it belongs to makes discovery of similar music easier
Well... Introverts are more likely to let you know they exist via a blog post than by telling you directly.

I don't often post here these days but this really stuck out to me and I'm kind of surprised it hasn't yielded any responses. Based on this description, you need to get some help my friend. Depending on your relationship, a reasonable first step may be to talk to your wife about this. If you don't know what to tell her exactly, point her to this comment. There are professionals and there's no shame in utilizing them to become the best version of yourself. Good luck :)

Akiko was effectively kludge to try to patch things over until the next chipset.

Even AGA was a kludge - planning was started once they realised their "real" next gen chipset was going to take way too long.

Electronic Music is generally music that is made to dance to.

A big part of what makes music good to dance to (especially when you are going to do it for hours at a time) is its predictability. If you know a beat is about to drop, and you can feel it coming you can position your body in preparation. When it does drop and you are able to move accordingly it provides a great sense of release and satisfaction.

The result of this is that when people go to dance parties, they really want to know in quite some detail about what music it is they are dancing to. So if the genre is slightly changed, it will need a new label to inform the dancers of what is going to be different so they can plan their body movements accordingly! Thus the whole plethora of sub-genres.
I assume you're referring to "Deutschland über alles" (Germany over everything).

It's no longer the first verse due to the Nazi history, but it doesn't come from that time.

It actually comes from the mid 1800s (IIRC) when Germany didn't exist as a unified state. People lived in many different kingdoms and principalities and many yearned for a German state.

The anthem comes from this time and this line is supposed to mean that Germany is preferable to the various smaller states of that time.

This is EXACTLY the type of thing GDPR was designed to enforce. (Other than uninformed tracking) pretty much this exact scenario. I hope the company gets fined to the fullest extent, as this absolutely shameful. The researchers attempting to contact 3 branches, with 2 turning them away/ignoring their emails is just the icing on the cake.

The M/F/Congenitally-Infertile distinction is not an "arbitrary standard", but rather a natural kind, and the essence of reproduction of the species.

Morality is something we impose upon ourselves and others precisely to coordinate the polity, in order avoid or manage conflicts (e.g. driving on the left vs driving on the right).

But someone at airport security turning the computer on still wouldn't have access to your user's files, presumably (?), because of user permissions - so they'd need to hack it (illegally, I expect) and why would they do that?
