Traffic routing is a much simpler problem than deciding which webpages are relevant to which search terms. A bunch of CS undergrads could probably come up with a prototype system.
Something doesn't make sense in that blog entry you cite. He says:

Now let’s re-explain rainbow tables:

1. take a “dictionary” —- say, of all combinations of alphanumerics
less than 15 characters

2. hash all of them

3. burn the results onto a DVD.

You now have several hundred billion hash values that you
can reverse back to text —- a “rainbow table”.

Alphanumeric usually means either 36 or 62 possible characters. Let's take 36. Then there are 36^14 possible 14 character alphanumeric passwords. (He said less than 15, so we should also consider 13 characters, 12 characters, and so on, so this is going to come out a little low since I'm just doing 14 exactly). That's 6.14 x 10^21 possible passwords.

If you could compute 10 billion hashes/second, that would take 20000 years. (41 million years if mixed case alphanumeric is allowed). Could anyone REALLY make a table covering all 14 character or less alphanumerics in 2007, and fit it on DVD?

I believe there were tables for 14 character Windows passwords then, but due to poor design Windows passwords were in effect treated as two 7 character passwords. You just needed tables that covered the hashes of all 7 character passwords, which is a lot more tractable. Could that be what the author was thinking of?
When I refer to collection of names assigned to a person that aren't given to them by their parents, I generally call that the last name. Apologies, 'family name' never struck me as a term for that word, so my mind automatically translated it. Yay being a United States-ian.

And having the officer's given names ~probably~ isn't meaningful, I suppose I can give you. Not dangerous, just creepy (perhaps part of the intended result?) ... though, also likely on public record. That said, I agree that even their "family name" shouldn't have been mentioned unless they were personally involved in wrongdoing. Technically, that's not LulzSec's job, but I wouldn't have counted a more noble vigilante quite as intensely in the wrong, here.

[edit: fixed some of my stupidity in response]
I wish more people thought the way you do. You, sir, are an inspiration.
You know, in forty years, when my reputation is firmly established and your reformatting doesn't threaten my commercial interests in any way, I will send you my best code.

See my other comments for why these kinds of analogies are too far off to make a useful point.

Facebook Case Study: How PayPal UK Got 177,000 Fans for Under $5,000
Hey, long time lurker, first time poster. I wrote this case study the other day. Hopefully you find it to be useful.
You are completely right, but for Maisel, this isn't a concern anymore and for any artist of moderate stature, it isn't a concern if some tiny project as this one uses an image. The overlap between audiences is vanishingly small.
I spent 3 months looking for a job in Melbourne earlier this year. Australia is great, but developer salaries are poor compared to the cost of living. Tilers and other tradies make more than programmers. You'll live like a king if you get an electrician qualification. There are few interesting jobs. There are a handful of startups with cool ideas, but no budget and no way to sponsor a visa. If you must stick with programming, Google in Sydney is probably your best bet. If you don't care about the work and just need a job, there are as many generic IT-style programming jobs in Sydney & Melbourne as in any large western city.
I agree. Same could be said about passing on pictures of over weight people at Wal-Mart or ugly people with memes typed on them. Different strokes for different folks.
With dedicated servers, the responsibility is on the client to back up what matters to him. Ditto with VPSs.
PowerShell is handy, but man, is it slow. If you thought text rendering by cmd.exe was slow, wait till you get a load of PowerShell.

I don't really understand why the console subsystem in Windows is so slow that it can actually add a significant amount of time to a build with lots of scrolling text.

Even the "slow" Terminal.app is a whiz by comparison, to say nothing of Gnome Terminal, or, rxvt.
Among all the discussion (and most of it likely very insightful) I don't see one thing being mentioned. Maybe new TF2 purchases had slowed to a point where they felt giving it away and focusing on in-game purchases was simply comparative, if not preferable?

I love the robustness of TF2, and Valve has been awesome about continuously providing new content for free, but, it's something to consider.
I've been saying for years that US gamers have been voting for the Korean/Chinese economic model: free clients and paid content locked down on company-owned servers. Hug your local pirate; you won't be able to buy any major PC games in ten years because the notion of selling games will be quaint.
The firms manage $13B. That's very, very different from being able to spend any of that money on ongoing expenses.

(Yes, they already take management fees, but lobbying would have to be paid out of these fees, not on top of it).

Ask HN: Ruby/RoR, where to begin?
So, several articles have appeared lately, talking about the fast-moving nature of RoR, and its ecosystem. Any information on getting into RoR from the PHP world, books/ebooks, sites, blogs, tools. I've heard a lot about RVMs, etc... but sifting through current and old pages, finding "good" tutorials, and so on is quite the undertaking.
I like to always follow the saying "Hope for the best. Plan for the worst".

Assume the FBI has a copy of everything on the drives and assume that they will see every file on the drive, even though odds are they don't and they won't.
I don't think the concept of contributing anonymously is necessarily a bad thing. Your online personality might be polite and contribute positively where as your real world personality might very shy and unable to participate in discussions at all.
AVE UK
Right, but if the salt varies per user, then you end up doing a bruteforce on each user's password; it's no longer a precomputation attack. There are no "Rainbow tables" in this case.

However, if you find Hale's bcrypt page (http://codahale.com/how-to-safely-store-a-password/) convincing, and I do, salting really doesn't matter because with modern GPUs you can bruteforce a reasonably-sized alphanumeric password, if the hash algorithm is a general-purpose (read: fast) one.

The solution is not salt, the solution is to use a purposely slow hash function.
Maybe, but they brought the keg compared to those typically lackluster and/or derivative games.
Your GF is not an artist whose reputation has been rock solid for decades and who doesn't have any commercial interests to protect.

I am not arguing a general case; I'm arguing specifically that Maisel should not have complained, let alone started a lawsuit, about this specific use of one of his works, in part because he is in the position to do so. He can let a thousand derivative suns, making a few handfuls of people happy each time, bloom without any negative effects for him.

But really, if this guy had used a picture by your girlfriend as the cover art, she would have been pissed? Why? Because a couple of dozen people now have a CD with some version of her art on the cover? Because some guy on the internet has that version on his website? I don't understand that at all. Even unknown artists are supremely unlikely to suffer any negative consequences as a result of this tiny project using one of their images. It isn't like this is a serious commercial effort: it was born out of love, not out of a quest for cash.

That was unwarranted. IMO it's good to have reminders of what the real world is like outside of our enlightened little tech bubble. I know that whenever I read something like this it gets me thinking about what I could do to help solve the terrible ignorance still epidemic in the general population.
Okay, good. No, great.

But what about software patents? Can we discuss reform specifically related to those?

Ideas:

1.) Shorter periods of ownership/proprietary rights.
2.) More detailed applications.
3.) OR abolishment.

Latent semantic mapping is a technique which takes a large number of text documents, maps them to term frequency vectors (vector-space semantics), and performs dimensionality reduction into a smaller semantic space. This then lets you determine how similar in meaning different documents are. You can use this for a variety of tasks.

I think the question becomes "Will people really want to make a new Steam account every time they want to cheat?"
Only when some of the more restrictive governments (I'm looking mostly at you, US) lift the illegality of drugs.

The insane margins are not due to the fact that drugs are expensive to make, but that the product is illegal.

Replacing Personal Injury Lawyers With the Web
I haven't tried it, but I think you can mod out hats. You can certainly host a server which restricts players to only the original weapons, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone's already done that.

I have heard very good things about CloudFlare. Also, the hacking group LulzSec uses CloudFlare on their website and they have gone out of their way on numerous occasions to point out how much CloudFlare has prevented their site from being taken down, which says something as there are many hackers out there that are trying to be the guys that "took down" LulzSec.

Learn how to bring free and effective visitors on your websites with Traffup
You'd be surprised. I've worked with forensic law enforcement in the past, and they were equipped to clone drives quickly and easily. The idea is to create a clean image of the drive that they can use for evidence, and they don't boot the machine so if there's any trapdoors or whatever they won't hit them. And this was a local police force over 5 years ago, I can't imagine what the FBI would be capable of these days.
Also you should give it a decent go before you make up your mind.

I got TF2 for free years ago with a motherboard, and I had never played an online game before. After playing for an hour or so, I decided I didn't like it, and that was that. Then a group of people started playing it at lunch at work, so I figured I would join in and that was the end of my free time...

My name is MetallicCloud, and I'm a TF2 addict.
Absolutely. And when you start talking about games especially, the long tail matters even more.
So, a question for you epochwolf. Why would you not say these things to people face to face?

Your published prior art blocks them

How does it block them? Does it or does it not matter who invented the thing? I am incredibly confused about this legislation.
The FBI has the capacity to clone drives quickly, absolutely (although amusingly, the process is actually slower now than it was then, as drives are larger).

However, field cloning is absolutely not the desired procedure to use (for a lot of reasons). You only do field cloning if you are either: 1) Under a time crunch, or 2) Don't want the target to know that the clone has occurred.

If at all possible, you just take the equipment and process it in the lab.

I've done about 2 dozen of these for the FBI. We did field-cloning maybe three times.

We are nearly in a post MS reality. It is like 1988 all over again. DR Dos, DESQview, GEOS they are all back in way with iOS, Android (which oddly enough is more Newton influenced than iOS).

The Win95 logo on a K5 doesn't bother me, Nokia doing really stupid stuff is indicative that they didn't have any solid competition for a great long while and went batshit insane. I had reports from Finnish friends that claimed that Nokia acted like they owned the whole damn country and make or break any law it pleased. When that kind of hubris implodes you best not be standing too close. They could have made a tidy sum selling well built yet simple Android powered phones to the worlds bottom 2 Billion People while attacking the verticals underserved by Nextel and Blackberry's gaffs. HTC owns the mainstream sexy-as-hell phone market. I would not try or want to compete with HTC.

AMD is above all this buffoonery, they are about to license their IP and throw it to the wind. And ARM might just end up managing the portfolio.

Cheating through item drop mining with multiple accounts can't be done without paying for some in-game store item that makes the account a premium one, since free accounts can only be on the recieving end of a trade and have item restrictions (eg no hats).

If you mean the much more serious VAC-evasion by creating new accounts, they mentioned they would be cracking down on those, but no so sure about the specifics.
I don't think all software needs to meet that specific definition to be considered "realtime" in some aspect of the word. Google agrees:

Does that meet the criteria of realtime computing? If not, is Google wrong?
Aw crap, there goes my weekend! I won't even have to boot Windows to try it.
I don't exactly want to hijack the thread, but let me present an idea of how one could burn $1,000 if one wanted to do it for promotion.

Step 1: Install Wordpress. Good, already done.

Step 2: Create a big ol' list of keywords which you think are relevant to your business. For example, [sign contract online], [sign document online], [sign contract with iPhone], [sign contract with Blackberry], etc etc. This doesn't cost anything more than your time.

Step 3: Design a template which, given a particular keyword, includes a few hundred words of content about the keyword and also acts as a landing page for your service. I'm assuming this is effectively free for most of us on HN. The last time I did it it required copy/pasting one file in Wordpress and then five minutes of hacking the PHP to do what I wanted it to do.

Step 4: Write between 50 and 100 of these, depending on how you get them done. This is what costs the $1,000, since you're probably going to zone out after doing this five times, write up the process, and then hire the rest out to freelancers.

Predicted results: on average, depending on query volumes, you're going to pick up a handful of hits for each page every month for life. So instead of having 1,400 clicks once, you'll get somewhere on the order of 400 clicks a month for forever. And instead of them being someone who was just gawking at a pretty girl in Chemistry class or poking their sheep while farming virtual cabbage, it will be someone who is right now trying to solve a problem which is costing their business money.

And if you have $2,000 to spend? It scales right on up.

And if you're savvy about how you do this? Suffice it to say that the MVP of this project gets you a wee little asset to build a business on, and implementing this strategy in a really effective way can basically carry a business on it's back. This is not limited to bingo card publishing empires, trust me.

Valve doesn't need to provide server infrastructure, individuals do that. They only provide the front-end for server searches. The only thing they need to continue to fund is ongoing development.

Also, yes, they can fund continued development solely on the hat-conomy, as crazy as that sounds.

This is perhaps an unintentional demonstration that "insecure against absurdly complex and specific attacks" does not always mean "insecure."

For a web system that is under attack 24/7 from 255^4 different attack vectors, you need "secure against even absurdly complex attacks" to be "secure."

But for my house? Your average thief isn't going to spend the time to take a high-res photo of my keys. Instead, they're just going to beat me until I give them my keys (the original "rubber-hose crytography") or just take a crowbar to the door. It's just not worth it to use such a complex attack.

(Yes, I can see uses for being able to break in without giving away the fact of the breakin, and I'd be surprised if the CIA/NSA/etc hadn't already used a similar technique, but for everyday life it's just a cool theoretical hack that would make a great plot point in a Neil Stephenson novel.)

Hmm, a portfolio is tricky because most of my work is on the server-side. I have lots of code samples - I could create a page to show them off. And, I suppose there are a couple of websites that could at least show that I know how to write html/css from scratch in a text editor. My personal website can be found at seevishal.com. I also did backend, as well as some of the mobile work for mobilefolk(.com).

"Effortless, scalable, pub/sub baked right in"

I was curious how this system scaled beyond one node and thus a single point of failure. I then saw it used Redis. Hooray, they relocated the single point of failure.

But hey, Redis is really really fast, right? That's definitely within the spirit of node.
This still seems like a valid low-tech hacking technique. Simply take photos of anyones keys (easy to do if you are planning it out) and run some software. This seems like a potentially big problem for any facility secured by only lock and key (schools, homes, safety deposit boxes, PO boxes, cars, storage, etc.).
