In Finland the Greens were considered for a long time the only defender of any issues related to the information society. But indeed, they've sold a lot of principles to stay in government.

They even had an MP who has his site in Klingon: http://kasvi.org/index.php?kli :-)
I don't know much about molecular structures, but it's a really interesting subject. The crowdsourcing aspect of this is also something that makes me believe a little more in human kind.

Of course, if some idealistic crowd were to find the cure for AIDS or a HIV vaccine, some big corporation would surely claim the patents on it or something; it is of course highly ethical to earn big bucks on others' misery, instead of just getting the cure out there to the masses.

This story reminds me of the pilot of Stargate Universe, by the way. The gamers will get to go to space now, right..?

Actually. Any application can do this and use the new password to become super-user. Really useful for a virus I reckon.

I think he means that the JavaScript that computes the hash can be MITM'd.
I bet it would take >100 years for most people to feel comfortable being operated on by a robot.
1. Haha, I agree that files will eventually become less accesible for the majority of computer users. Something like how the iPad handles projects/songs/documents instead of the generic "file".

2. Due to HTML5 limitations, you will need to drop the file from your local storage onto the browser window.

3. Yes you can get digests of a file on Windows, but it doesn't come with a built-in program.

Anyone got any comments/info/insights on the tap and pay thing?

I haven't read anything on the security model but from a high level it seems like its going to be a cluster f/k of fraud to me, loose your phone and you're loosing direct access to your finances.

I've had a few conversations here and there but everyones opinions seem to be the same as mine... anyone with anything to placate my fears? because this seems like something I'm going to avoid by a huge distance.

What is the license? I haven't looked too closely yet, but I might want to borrow some of the JS for a firefox plugin where I'd want to calculate hashes.
Ok I see what happened. When I read the statement for some
reason I missed the comma.

So I read it like
"12 year old boys believe this!!!" (mocking)

rather than

"12 year old boys need to understand this!!"

Good points and the inverse is true for women. My sister spent much of high school being popular and although she was smart (and later got a Masters) she didn't achieve as much as she could have had she not been as popular and attractive and good personality. No question in my mind about that.
How would it be MITM'd? It all happens on your computer. Nothing travels over the network after the page is downloaded.
I think the main comment is "We were too busy thinking about how cool it was going to be".
>I can see why this would be the case given the constrains imposed by the the REST architecture, but I don't really see what benefits this has over having some sort of "cancel" action to be performed on the booking resource.

The problem isn't so much REST, but HTTP: using a custom method could have the potential of creating havoc with proxies and such.

> Sidenote: Is it "better" to pass booking_id = number, or booking = booking resource URL. Why?

I think the ID should be the URL. It decouples the client from the internal IDs, which is not only DRYer (since otherwise you'd effectively have two IDs) as it can help if you need to change the internal ID format.

I re-read the paper, and they seem to be doing what you describe. The list of H(chunk) is called "Chunk Map", and local password is called "dedicated map key"...

.. but after that they get into another round of encryption with the users public key - that's where I get lost.

Having a Plan and thinking more than 24 hours into the future don't neccesarily have to be the same thing. I took his use of "plan" in the grander sense. Why did he plot to drive Dent crazy? Who knows, he has no Plan, he just did it.

Tom's point is that you're serving the JavaScript and HTML over HTTP. So, the entire site can be man-in-the-middled.
FWIW, AMQP is the preferred protocol of Celery, the python distributed task library; which we've been using it heavily for the past year at Crocodoc. I have nothing but praise for AMQP and RabbitMQ in particular in terms of performance or reliability.
That's not "high capacity", it's a mid-range box.

The mentioned spec can be had for roughly $7000 USD, depending on CPU.
I think what xtacy means by MITM is that the javascript sent by the server might be MITM'd and altered to return a different value than the actual hash.

But for instance, if I'm trying to SHA1 a Windows 8 iso (the kind which I imagine would be by far the most common use case - in which a cryptographically secure hash algorithm isn't even a prerequisite any checksum would do).

It's not any worse than downloading the sha1sum app from any http site.

Yea with this I'd be worried about something doing that, making a new hidden user and then setting the password on the original account back leaving no immediately visible signs that anything is wrong.

You could split up the file chunks by reading in sections (blob.webkitSlice and mozSlice) as array buffers and sending them to a worker object. Then you could process those in chunks with WebWorkers (or WebGL) and have a progress indicator.
Amazon EC2 offers 68GB RAM and it's hardly an obscure offering. But they don't offer SSDs.

SSD might be a solution, but we don't have any proof either way, and we also don't understand why is this problem happening.

The OP mentioned EU candidateship of Turkey.

I was pointing out that all of these issues are not really about whether or not Turkey is geographically located in Europe, but about it not being a wealthy country.

Just like EU membership, as well as other institutes, do not include Moldova (and other poor countries) even tho it is entirely within the continent of Europe.
#3 (Identity theft prevention service) has been around from late 90s, at least in Canada. It never caught on, because it was like selling an insurance but without monetary payout benefits in insured case.

#12 is again available in a lot of malls here in Vancouver. The problem with these carwashes is that they typically take longer than an average shopping trip.
You may benefit from reading a pyschology book on willpower and how to reach goals.

My recommendation is this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Succeed-How-Can-Reach-Goals/dp/1594630...

It cited real world scientific research and gave practical advice on how to set goal and to succeed at one's goal.

Disclaimer: I am only aware of such knowledge, not actually putting into practice said knowledge. Currently, my only implementation of scientific self improvement is spaced repetition, which simply exploit the fact that we retain more information learned over a long period of time.
There's a certain cool factor of file drag/drop but I think that the click-to-browse paradigm is useful on certain laptop trackpads where dragging isn't a pleasure and other situations. It would be nice if you made the drag area clickable (like min.us).
Quickly, someone, make an identical looking site that actually uploads whatever you drop on it! ;)
Yea, but there is flash of un-styled content. There is no way around it because the style has to be applied by the javascript. That is not production ready in my opinion. The way standards bodies work now though I think this a great way to demo what browsers should be able to do.

I can't see what was wrong with the second graph. Regular bursts of writes for flushing leaves the disks more idle for low-latency reads. Optimising throughput doesn't mean you have to have a smooth, flat write graph.

Exactly how can it use the new password to become super-user? You can't assume that everyone runs only the default admin user on their OS X system.

There's this thing called caching. ;)

Also, cache manifest.
There's a flaw in his reasoning here that comes from working with extremely talented people. When you work with such people process is frequently irrelevant, because no matter what process is used they will find some way to get things done and done well. This can lead you into a false sense of victory about whatever process you happened to be using, even though it was the people who were the decisive factor in success.

Yeah the greens in Australia do the same thing and form a full set of policies which usually are mostly ignored. It's only now that they hold somewhat of a balance of power in the parliament that they are getting some action on some of those policies.

So you'd support a party who censored its members' and didn't support freedom of expression? You're right, maybe PP isn't right for you.
Is it really all that different from losing your wallet? You can protect it with a pin number (http://www.google.com/wallet/how-it-works-security.html) so it sounds kind of like losing a debit card in that respect. You can still cancel your cards as soon as soon as you've noticed that you lost it as well. I wonder if the federal laws limiting credit card fraud liability to $50 will also apply here. If they do then I'm even less concerned about it.
Could you provide support for your assertion that the customer acquisition problem is fundamentally different?
Quoting from the article:

=============================

What to do?

I wish I could say you should use Percona Server with XtraDB.

If we were using SSD as storage, then I would recommend it. Vanilla MySQL performs equally bad on SSD and
HDD, while for SSD in Percona Server we have “innodb_adaptive_flushing_method = keep_average”.

Unfortunately on spinning disks (as in this case), Percona Server may not show significant improvement. I am going to followup with results on Percona Server.

=============================

SSD is the solution because unlike rotational disks it allows for lots of random accesses. While they are too expensive to use as "archiving" storage, SSD excels as a layer between traditional disks and RAM. Put your high I/O workload on SSD and keep your historic data on spinning disks.

If you want to see some SSD benchmarks, here is your resource: http://www.ssdperformanceblog.com/

As far as cloud storage, yes, Amazon EC2 offers 68GB RAM, however if you need hardware of that size it is not hard to justify setting up your own servers. It would be cheaper too and you'll be able to fully optimize your storage.
I'm confused. What is this supposed to do?
The Yii Framework uses gamification to reward open source contributors
The kernel part of the Linux drivers is written as soon as the developers get hardware from AMD. There are currently a half-dozen AMD employees working on this, as well as a few non-AMD people, and generally, hardware support has been pretty concomitant with general releases of the hardware.

"Slower" really depends on what you're doing. If you're doing lots of 2D stuff, then no, not by a long shot; the open drivers are generally very speedy for 2D stuff. If you're doing 3D stuff, then the raw framerates might be slower for games, but as a general rule, nobody's paid to make open drivers as fast as possible, only fast enough to run well.

There's also a bit of disconnect between blessed AMD drivers and OEM drivers for Windows; there's known hardware which has never been supported by the AMD Windows drivers but works fine in Linux under the open driver stack. "Later" is kind of a loaded term; if you buy an AGP HD 2400 with a PCIe-to-AGP bridge, it has immediate Windows support, from the OEM, but with no updates and no upgrade path. Linux support lagged for that chipset by about four-six months but continues today, with updates and fixes.

So, tl;dr: It varies so much that this question ends up being loaded.
To be fair:

(1) Finding the molecular conformation is only a tiny piece of the puzzle.

(2) If we were to discover a vaccine for HIV, many countries such as India, Thailand, Brazil, and China would instantly break any necessary patents. This is at it should be -- the countries that can afford it fund R&D and those that can't share in the results.
It's true that we're intent on serving enterprise customers, but we realize that many developers working on enterprise apps start out with personal project or small department projects and want as much innovation as they can have as long as we can stand behind it. The issue with many platforms is that the vendor doesn't have the long-term ability to stand behind the APIs and offer support. That's important when you get sick of debugging your own platform and you want to debug your app instead.

Power is intended to be a hosted version of the Aeolus capability: configure, update and migrate VMs across different clouds on-prem and off-prem.

We do support Java EE, and we're the only ones to do so right now. Check out the new Java development model called CDI which is part of EE 6 and is a radical simplification for Java while still providing access to nice things like transactions.

Finally, yes you could stand up your own JBoss on EC2, but then you'd have to patch it, back it up, configure all the systems management and load balancing and networking and keep that all up to date, etc. The lovely thing about whichever PaaS you choose is that we do all of that for you.

Hello.
I am writing to you about a small start-up, with an emphasis on inventing new words, definitions, and phrases for concepts that do not exist - http://crowdt.com/. Also, you can vote on the cool new words or definitions. Users votes range from little value to 10 cents - 50% goes to the author of the word or definition, 5% is spent on development of the site, 30% is allocated to all downstream users to support those who saw the word before you, 15% of the payroll is for deleting votes and unsuccessful content. For self-serve, each day has only 10 users - these users are paid from the fund.

This whole system is setup not for money, but to change the world in an aesthetically beautiful way - with words. Hundreds of thousands of scientific papers, text instructions, and life situations require good, clear and concise images in order to be better remembered and help people became more intelligent.
Ask HN: Early Stage Fund Allocation: What is it Put Towards?
What proportion of money is put toward what types of things in seed/early stage startups? It will obviously vary depending on the company but I would like to see (in a pie chart even better) how much typically goes to marketing, bringing on new employees, servers, etc.
I agree, it would've been nice if the OP had mentioned that this is a PDF in the title of the submission. However, yelling and cursing is, I think, below the level of discussion we'd like to see here on HN. A simple remark in the comment would suffice.

This disappoints me. CERN is one of the most important representatives of the European scientific community. Instead of boycotting the apartheid state which openly practices racial cleansing on a daily basis, CERN embraces it. A truly sad world we live in today if that's what our brightest minds consent.

The issues with Turkey's membership appear more be about religious/cultural and the concern over lack of political freedoms in the country.
So keep better track of your phone then. The same vulnerability exists for your wallet or your keys, of course, but we've already accepted that.

This is the future. In some shockingly few decades from now it will be uncommon to carry a wallet or keys. Everything will be digital, everything will be mediated by your phone (or something similar), identity, payment, security, etc.
Yeah it is alot worse because my wallet needs signatures, has things like photo id on my credit card.

One thing about that interface is how large the display is, it would be damned simple to catch someones PIN from a distance. I mean even current systems I see my friends PINs without trying ... on small covered terminals, not a 7" screen.

A nice shiny phone would slip out of someones pocket a lot easier than wallet as well, I would hazard a guess its going to be a boon for pickpockets at events. By the time you could cancel the account they could of stripped hundreds of dollars.

But thanks I will do some deeper reading around that link.
The tendentious answer on philosophy is an invitation for what would be another "Dabblers and Blowhards" drive-by shooting.

It's not enormously surprising that this question is 'rarely asked'. One would learn a lot more about philosophy ("what questions are these guys asking?" "what are some of the answers they've come to?") from even a mediocre introductory text or a chat with a TA/tutor, than by assuming that this rather sophomoric answer represents a reasonable response to the entire field. Calling it 'sophomoric' doesn't properly engage with the claims, but the claims are so smug, random and content-free:

"Books on philosophy per se are either highly technical stuff that doesn't matter much, or vague concatenations of abstractions their own authors didn't fully understand (e.g. Hegel)... It can be interesting to study ancient philosophy, but more as a kind of accident report than to teach you anything useful."

... that I can't find anything remotely meaningful to engage with.

Someone recommended Russell's History of Western Philosophy as an option; this isn't bad (although its treatment of Continental philosophy is hopelessly biased, it would still be enough to get you oriented).

The fact that whenever PG makes statements on some area I understand more about (philosophy, politics, economics) seem to be incredibly shallow, juvenile crowd-pleasers, makes me wonder at his expertise in areas that I don't know much about (history, painting).

There are quite a lot of microcontroller RTOSes[1] for the AVR platform, which means you can run them on the Arduino (although you'll need to use avr-gcc not the Arduino IDE for these.)

Thanks and will do!
No the vulnerability doesn't exist with your current wallet because it has analogue trappings to prevent theft. For example my current contents require PIN as well as signature as well photo IDs on cards.

This type of fraud is so high in Britain that my cards issued there have an extra chip in the cards to slow down theives.

Although I was living in Britain when they first released 'chip and PIN' and the crims had working scanners 2-3 days after launch.

The level of determination and skill the bad guys have is amazing, and I currently see this cell phone move as a step in there favour and not mine.

The other aspect is people leave cell phones laying around, they don't tend to leave there wallets. I guess having it fully tied to your bank account will add a level of apranoia which may stop this behaviour. But for example at my last work place it was the joke to wait till someone had left there iPhone at lunch, slip it into your pocket, and after getting back to teh office convince the person they had to go back and get it. Not funny when its you, but funny enough after you watch a work mate walk several blocks and back fuming because he knows one of us has it.

Loosing your keys is not the same as for it to be effective the criminal needs to know where to use the keys, in a sense it has to be premeditated, a completely different criminal scenario.

And yeah I know a few people who have already changed their house doors to keypads and electric terminals. Guess I have a few niche geek friends, but that future is alreayd ehre for some.
