This would seem contradictory:

"Don’t Use a Blank Passphrase on Your Key This is basic security, plus allows you to “safely” move your keys between hosts..."

Then:

"Don’t Copy Your Private Key Around Remember this is your identity... Its never a good idea to copy it from system to system."

So put a passphrase on your private key so you can move it between systems, but also don't ever move it between systems.

Side note: I get annoyed by advice about how one should always always put a passphrase on private keys. It makes unchecked assumptions. The private keys on my laptop are stored on a fully encrypted drive that locks every time the computer sleeps. This laptop has far more sensitive data on it than the remote hosts I access (github and a VPS), which serve virtually all their unique data to the public via the web. I'm fine with a naked private key on this machine.

Using economic crisis to reduce natural calamities 
As we know that all country are not equally developed. Some countries become poor when natural calamities occurred. Than many countries come forward to help the victim country. We should become helping hand for others its being one of the proud thing to help the victims. Rich countries are developing medium term plans so that they can reduce the dependency due to economic crisis. Damian Campbell mention about natural resources in sold out after crisis.

Show HN: GiftsBuffer.com
If you know a person only online and not in real life and find that you would like to send a gift to that person, how would you do it. The other person woud not be comfortable giving out his or her home address, telephone no. or a real name.

I was stuck in such a situation once, which gave me the idea to come up with http://giftsbuffer.com.

GiftsBuffer is a way to send and receive gifts while maintaining your privacy. No need to exchange private details like address, telephone no. or even your real name with real life strangers, to send or receive gifts. GiftsBuffer as the name says, acts as a buffer between the two parties.

This service is powered by Amazon.com amazing service, so you can gift from among thousands of products that Amazon.com sells.

How it works is that if you want to send a gift to someone, select the gift you want to send and enter the e-mail address or registered username of the person you want to send the gift to. The other person adds his or her home address, telephone no. and real name to the gift. We gather and update the shipping charges and tax information for the gift. You make payment for the gift based on the updated info. After we receive payment confirmation, we place the order for the gift items with Amazon.com. Amazon delivers the gifts to the person you wished to send the gifts to.

Neither party will ever know the address, telephone no. or real name of each other ever, thereby enabling a safe way to send and receive gifts online.

I am posting this here with hope that the good people at Hacker News would give me their valuable feedback, a little bit of encouragement and lots of constructive criticism. Your thougths on what you think about the idea, the implementation, the design etc would be really invaluable.

Looking forward to your opinions ...

IANAL but this is the text of the US-Germany extradition treaty. It seems to say that neither country has an obligation to extradite their own citizens.

"The article thus takes into account the law of the FRG prohibiting the extradition of its nationals but allowing for their prosecution in the FRG."

Article 7

EXTRADITION OF NATIONALS

(1) Neither of the Contracting Parties shall be bound to extradite its own nationals. The competent executive authority of the Requested State, however, shall have the power to grant the extradition of its own nationals if, in its discretion, this is deemed proper to do and provided the law of the Requested State does not so preclude.

(2) The Requested State shall undertake all available legal measures to suspend naturalization proceedings in respect of the person sought until a decision on the request for his extradition and, if that request is granted, until his surrender.

(3) If the Requested State does not extradite its own national, it shall, at the request of the Requesting State, submit the case to its competent authorities in order that proceedings may be taken if they are considered appropriate. If the Requested State requires additional documents or evidence, such documents or evidence shall be submitted without charge to that State. The Requesting State shall be informed of the result of its request.

I think you missed my point. I was suggesting that the live server should access the backup server via an append-only interface, i.e., one which doesn't allow it to delete backups or modify them.
Duplicity is also unable to incrementally remove old backups.

A backup set starts with a full backup, then has incrementals after that. You can remove the incrementals, but if you remove the (old) full backup, you have to do a full backup again.

A typically strategy is incrementals every day, and a full once a week. However this is really hard on home connections - it's just too much data to do a full backup every week.

One of its pros is that everything is completely encrypted from when it leaves your machine - so you can backup to a completely untrusted repository without worry.

However, in order to do that it locally stores block-checksums of every file it backs up. (So it can detect differences.) These files can get large.

Another option from the same source is rdiff-backup. This has none of those limitations - it uses a CVS style reverse diff (so old incrementals can simply be deleted, and the most current is simply stored as a file, which makes restores very easy). However it's not encrypted from the source - so you have to trust the repository at least enough to create a local encrypted volume on it.

I would be amazed if Tesla Motors was running that pack at 90% depth of discharge. 80% is far more typical.

The other thing to consider is that as the voltage drops, so does the leakage current.

Really, this whole thing could be solved by putting a tiny solar panel on the back dash.

5 cars out of 2200 doesn't really qualify as a devastating problem. The insurance for this for the fleet would probably run about $200/car based on a 100% profit for the insurer. Instead, charge $10/month per car and you are probably way ahead. If you have a Tesla and I get at least 100 people responding, I will do it for $20/month at my much smaller scale than a normal insurance company.
The official title of the article is "How to Remove Your Google Search History Before Google's New Privacy Policy Takes Effect", and the writing itself is much more neutral than this submission title.

I'm still not sure why people are afraid of Google's new privacy policy. I understand that there are people who have specific privacy needs, but outside that scope I doubt you have anything to worry about.

It's doubtful at best that Google's "log" of you would become compromised (unless your personal account were compromised, but then this would have been a problem anyways!). It also isn't the case that some Google employee is reading row after row of Google's customer DB snooping on individuals.

Google isn't some unified entity; your data is being manipulated by advertising algorithms to tailor ads for you. Unless you care about a CPU "knowing" your secrets, or you have specific privacy needs/concerns, none of this is a problem.

Maybe someone can surprise me with some good reasons to be concerned, but until then I am trusting Google.

I think you and Tesla are not having the same conversation. They are doing it The Wrong Way if the conversation is efficient commuter/city cars. But tanks are doing it The Wrong Way if you're talking about space launch vehicles too.

Tesla doesn't market or really care about efficiency -- and Tesla buyers don't really care about efficiency (or at least not as their #1 priority, if they did there are plenty of high efficiency 3 wheel'd electric solar powered bio-diesel gold carts sitting in junk yards that they could have been buying).

Tesla cars are about instant torque and speed, offered only by electric motors, without all the baggage and compromise that comes from an efficiency econobox (read: nerdmobile).

Nobody else is doing that. People who buy Teslas, and who are interested in Teslas, don't want 0-60 in 14 seconds but great gas mileage, they want it in 2 seconds and great gas mileage.

Now if you want to talk about a family sedan that can smoke a Ferrari, has room for golf clubs, and is practical enough to take to the beach, grocery shopping and carry 3 or 4 of my friends to a movie, regardless of the how it spins the tires? Then you are in the right conversation.
I could see implementing this for Appointment Reminder just to avoid all the overhead that goes into organizing some Fiverr voice actress (who, contrary to what you would expect from the price, typically deliver work perfectly adequate for a telephone call) and getting their .mp3s into the system for a new client.

I'd love to see something like this for math. A lot of these ML, AI courses have prerequisites in math that is pretty distant for me.

It's also somewhat limited to college math
Honestly, these cares look great and are all electric. Two things that i want in my next car. When i think electric car, i don't think of Ford, Nisan or any other generic (GM) brand. These guys pulled us from the dark ages of fuel (and the slightly brighter yet still dark ages of Hybrid cars) into the 21st century with a car that runs on electricity alone.

With that in mind, the issue of a "Brick" isn't something I want...but if it can be solved then I'm all up for this being my next car. Is there any evidence that this same issue cant occur in the other main stream electric cars coming onto the market anyway?
I'm confused. What does this actually mean?

"You can delete information from Web History using the remove feature, and it will be removed from the service. However, as is common practice in the industry, and as outlined in the Google Privacy Policy, Google maintains a separate logs system for auditing purposes and to help us improve the quality of our services for users."

So.... why would I delete this information if Google still keeps it elsewhere? Do I just have no ability to control what data Google collects on me, even if I agree to stop using its services?

This really sounds too enterprisey. It's unclear to me what the benefit is of using SWF, and lost my interest when it started listing business definitions.
As a person who voluntarily enabled web history for personal use, no.
One important feature they didn't mention: if you have a decently powerful backup server hosting all of your data, it may be relatively easy in case of an emergency to use it to serve production data directly. For instance, you could start a mysql instance with the backup data directly from the backup server, if your production server (or datacenter) is fried.

There is no easy way to achieve that from S3 or tarsnap.
I see two reasons why one might want to do it:

1) If someone breaks into your account, that person can steal all your search history. This is why I disabled search history recording a long time ago.

2) It was uncovered that Google passess some of its data about users to third parties, especially ads agencies. Now, with the new policy, you can't be sure that search data leakage will not occur. Moreover, ads agencies use mechanisms like cookie syncing to share user data between themselves.
> A service manager then informed him that “it’s a brick” and that the battery would cost approximately $40,000 to replace. He was further told that this was a special “friends and family” price, strongly implying that Tesla generally charges more.

> $40,000 (or more) to fix his car

> full $40,000-plus cost

> At the same time, the Model S pricing starts at $49,900 (after US tax incentives), broadening the market to households of far more modest means than the owners of the $109,000 and up Roadster. This in turn makes it even less likely that Tesla buyers will have the necessary tens of thousands of dollars to spare if they ever allow their battery to fully discharge.
("Implying that battery cost will be the same as for Roadster, car that costs 2.5 times more")

Statements like this are generally bad for an article that tries to operate with facts.
Cheap backups? Use de-duplication.

I have cronjob with daily dumps of several MySQL databases, in the usual textual format. One day woth of dumps takes about 470MB now. Two years ago, we started at about 20MB/day and it was growing ever since.

Each dump is committed into one common Git repo. After two years (that's just over 700 dumps), this whole Git repo is about 180MB.

Yep, much less that one daily dump. Git performs thorough de-duplication and delta-compression.

Cheap backups? Use de-duplication.
I've just done so, and I intend on keeping Web History turned off. I simply do not derive enough benefit from having this data around for myself (when's the last time you benefited from Web History), and unlike other permanent data such as G+ posts, comments etc I do not self-censor searches that I would like to conduct, so I find it very plausible that someone with more processing power than me could find out more about me than I intend.
