Well, that's exactly the point of the case - if the defendant decrypts it, by that fact he proves he knew the password - meaning, he is the owner of the drive and had control over it. Giving by that to the police proof of both that the content was illegal and that he owned it. Unfortunately for them (but fortunately for the defendant) the court did not go their way.
Oh, sure. In our office we achieve the same effect by ordering delivery, though.

I am logged out
Due to the new Policy over at Google, I am logged out, using bing for search, and, blam-o, I feel like it's 1996 all over again (bing is pretty bad -- I searched for an author and all that was yielded were pictures of tractors). I am using bookmarks to 'fav' my videos I like; I am defaulting to all my old ways to browse the web. And it feels OK. Any one else re-doing things?
"For a $1,000 laptop, Motorola is demanding that Microsoft pay a royalty of $22.50 for its 50 patents on the video standard, called H.264."

I find this doubtful; the licensing terms for H.264 put the per-unit hardware costs at around 10-20 cents depending on volume.

I'm guessing the author misunderstands what's going here: the patents most likely cover related things, but not H.264 itself, or they're not "essential patents" as per the spec.

It might also be possible that Microsoft doesn't license from the MPEG-LA, and rather licenses individual patents separately. An example of a company that claims to do this is Real, whose RealVideo is a blatant H.264 ripoff -- so they claim they license the relevant patents individually instead of the whole package.

The alternative is that Motorola has done something that would probably get them permanently kicked out of all ITU standards bodies forever. Taking part in a standards body and then breaking the agreements signed during said process is not merely illegal, but probably grounds for every other company involved beating you to death with sharp sticks.
Its worse than that. These are supposed to be Oracle's 'good' patents.

Imagine how bad the patents that they didn't even bother suing over are!
I just tried Chomp.

The sorting makes no sense, looks to be hand-edited or possibly paid for by the apps, and the current App Store sort seems to be better to me.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong part of Chomp? Which section do people like?
The areas above and higher your IDE are/will be little to do with math and bit shifting.

They will be more and more of domain knowledge and understanding the problem on hand and little and little to do with worrying and learning arcane facts behind the scenes.

The problem here is that you're segregating the "world's best programmers" without explaining how you selected them. The more relevant question here is what makes someone the "best" at something.

You're also using a limited angle of success (Larry and Sergey's business success via google). Many of the other "best programmers" on your 1000 person list may have non-commercial success (their creative project leads to a highly cited paper for example).

If you just took the top 1000 programmers (again assuming you could) in 2003, it's unlikely that Mark Zuckerberg would have been one of them. Not that he wasn't a great hacker, but what metric could have demonstrated his creative/business abilities as an undergraduate?

Of course luck is involved in anything. Einstein was "lucky" that he happened to be obsessed with the relative speed of light to different parties at a time when we knew a bit about how light/gravity etc worked. Perhaps if he'd been born in Newton's time, his style of intellect would not have had the same impact. Nonetheless we can, in hindsight, only measure someone's achievement, not his/her luck.

No doubt hyper-achievement (like Einsteins' or Zuckerbergs') is evidence that the achiever possesses a high degree of work ethic AND talent with at least a bit luck thrown in. No doubt that you would agree Hyper-achievers are a subset of "Potential Hyper-achievers" (those with talent & work ethic) and someone's level of achievement will roughly correspond to his/her personal characteristics.

In a particular poker game, it's mostly luck whether you come out ahead, but over time (as in life) those who practice harder and play smarter will (usually) come out on top.

The Difference Between a 'Pivot' and a 'Reboot'
The suspect could have told about it to somebody, or somebody (like informant) could have seen it sometime ago, or maybe even gave it to him while working undercover, or they could have observed the suspect receiving the file while working on the specific computer (i.e. via wiretap or by observing the connections on the sending side or while in transit). Of course, there's no proof that between that and current moment something didn't happen and the file wasn't deleted - but at least if it was not, the fact that it existed would not be news. That's like if I give somebody a secret document and he puts it in the safe, then the fact that he has the document in the safe is not news to me - even though in the meantime somebody could have broken into the safe and stolen it, for example, so I can't be 100% sure it's actually there.
But regardless of that promise, both sets of patents are necessary today to implement modern OSes. Why should one of them be usable to extort huge sums and the other not?
The lack of rigor in your explanation undermines the point you are trying to make. You have definitions in your head that you are not expressing in a meaningful way. Ungrounded intuition just doesn't help when reasoning about infinity.

1) You can address it in Chrome with pinning [1]. Built in pins require that you be a significant site, but you can also set them with HTTP headers [2].

[1] http://www.imperialviolet.org/2011/05/04/pinning.html
[2] http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-websec-key-pinning-01

This is a rather poor solution. The longer term one is Certificate Transparency: http://www.links.org/?p=1219

2) is solved with HSTS [3]. You can contact me (@chromium.org) to be built in. There isn't a notability requirement.

3) The BEAST attack was tough to pull off and is fixed with Chrome, FF10 and IE.

4) Yep, cookies must be marked secure. HSTS can also fix this my eliminating the insecure requests. Even with secure cookies (but without HSTS), a MITM can also set the cookie. (i.e. to log you in to their account before you hit 'send' and then to log you back into yours before you notice the problem.)
It's not a "faked CA", it's a perfectly legitimate "internal CA" you created.

Of course you may be using it to impersonate external websites to your internal users, but the circumstances under which that may be an OK thing to do is a policy question that's still evolving.
But now you're mixing up the chronology.

Google had already bought Android and bet on next-gen smartphones well before Eric Schmidt joined the Apple board. And that bet was already serious and high-level. Schmidt wasn't involved in the acquisition, but Larry Page was. They were also, correctly, talking about mobile as the "next great frontier of search". If that wasn't a big deal at Google, I don't know what could be.

What? Using email as a document exchange system is a curse, there are so many file sharing, version control and collaboration tools it needs to vanish.

Regarging else: while I am currently heavily relying on email communication, I believe 'email is dead'. The rapid raise of collaboration and social communication tools, along with new ideas for internet ID, all will make it obsolete in the future.

I haven't looked at the pricing for BitBucket but it seems (in my experience) you can have as many contributors as you want in an "organization" on GitHub and you only pay based on the number of private repos that organization has and forks of those repos don't count.

Its clear, closures actually solve the problem of random array access in high level languages. You are either after 1 value or all of them. These are 2 very easily optimized access patterns. Out of bounds array access isn't a constant threat.

I do C++ work. VS2010 is so slow and crashes so often for me that I abandoned it (and, sadly, its limited C++0x support) for VS2008. This is on a Core2Duo, 8G RAM, a hybrid hard drive, and accelerated graphics.

I was pretty happy with VS2008 until the other day, when I found that I can reliably crash it by opening a particular XML file. sigh
ARPANET?
Look at the first comment by Jon Shields (on volokh.com, not here), addressing exactly that aspect of US v Fricosu (a prior recent case where the defendant was ordered to turn over a decrypted copy of the disk).

They had wiretaps of Fricosu admitting to someone else that specific information existed on his laptop. Although the prosecution did not have the plaintext documents that Fricosu was referring to, his admission over the phone was deemed enough for it to be a foregone conclusion that the documents existed on his laptop, and therefore the court could order Fricosu to decrypt.

Quoting footnote 27 of Fricosu:
[In the wiretap transcript], Friscosu essentially admitted every testimonial communication that may have been implicit in the production of the unencrypted contents.

I like the new style. It makes me nostalgic for NeXT and AmigaOS 2.0 UI.

I picked up Venkatesh's book _Gang Leader for a Day_ on the strength of the work cited here ... and ended up throwing it out.

He's not an economist: he has a very clear idea of which jobs are useful in a society and which jobs aren't, and no interest at all in what the market has to say.

I'm sure he has useful data, but everything he writes goes through that filter, and there's no way to trust what he says about people dealing drugs, because he makes it so clear that everyone doing anything outside the law is Evil, and so everything they do is tainted.

Ask HN: Want to learn Perl and Ruby, which one should i choose first?
I do programming just for fun. Sometime i do seriously to perform data analysis with python and R. I know python, but i dont really understand or implement the OOP concept (non CS major, i'm biological science student and don't have formal education on IT or programming).

I interested to learn perl and ruby. I also have a web application project that i want to create maybe with perl dancer or ruby's sinatra. Which one should i choose to learn (deeply) first, perl or ruby? Which one have the better performance for the same task? Am i to naive if i choose to learn perl first just because it's syntax highlighting already configured on my vi/elvis editor? Any suggestion?

The strangest thing about the NSA is how dependent they have become on contractors (just like the rest of the military, and government), especially for IT/ops stuff. The actual cryptographers and cryptanalysts are GS employees, but most of the computer systems used by the NSA seem to now be run by contractors.

I trust GS employees a lot more, in the long run, to have US national interest as the highest goal. Sure, they're less efficient in a lot of ways, and get great benefits, but I think that's an acceptable price to pay.
You might want to google that name before making the claim.

I have recalled where I first heard about the Davy Crockett a - from Hackworth's memoir 'About Face'. Looked it up in google books to verify.

Per Hackworth, while the Crockett platoon leader in his battlegroup did not know where to obtain live rounds, they would have been procured in about two hours. (pg 413).

This seems like an amazingly short time to issue anything, even with Russian tanks coming over the border. But perhaps they expected to move a little faster in West Germany in the 60s.
> Browsers won't keep SPDY connections open forever in the hopes of someday reusing them; the "initial connection" case will happen quite frequently in a normal browsing session.

This is what boggles my mind about Spdy, the dissonance. On the one hand Spdy is great because it does a bunch of requests on the same TCP connection, but on the other hand Spdy is great because it saves 100 bytes per connection and that's a big deal because there are going to be so many connections made? It doesn't make sense.

Spdy is great because it has compression, but on the other hand Spdy is great because it requires SSL which already has compression. Huh?

> I suggested the hopefully very common case of sending a very small request and getting back a very small 304. ... The whole exchange consists entirely of headers ... That would make 121 bytes closer to a 30-40% savings.

On a first request only. You visit some site and only check if exactly one resource? Not likely. In any case, the cost to transfer 100 bytes once is irrelevant in any grand scheme of things.

> (Also, I'd love to see a reference for your figures on expected bytes saved through the prefix dictionary.)

http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~amer/PEL/poc/pdf/SPDY-Fan.pdf

The dictionary construction part is suspect though... take a look at how many times the same string length count (\0\0\0\4 for example) occurs in the prefix -- this can't be optimal.
That borders on impressive: Four of the five statements leading into the "proofs" are wrong (and the fifth needs a lot of charity), and all three of the proofs are meaningless in exactly the same way.

How do you figure that knowing the execution path for a basic language feature is an "arcane fact behind the scene?" This is equivalent to not knowing how an if or for statement works. You can't write ANY code without this knowledge.

I haven't used git on Windows for some time now so maybe things have changed, but at that time, it was pretty obvious that Mercurial was a polished first-class citizen of the Windows platform while git was an incomplete port (and in git's defense, I don't believe "make it work on Windows" was ever a design consideration when it was written).

I presume things have changed since then but it wasn't always the case.
Since you already know Python, why don't use it?
If I were you, I would take on PERL before you take on RUBY on RAILS. For one thing, PERL can be run easily on a Windows or LINUX OS (sorry, Hackintoshers, unless you wanna get REAL and install LINUX), and PERL is a scripting language, so programming it is easier to learn than something that is object-oriented, like RUBY. Anyway, you asked, so as a HaXx0r, that's my 2-cents worth!
I think a Sinata + Sequel app is still a pretty damn fine way to go. Ruby is still a great language, and I still like it better than JS, just not Rails.
"This problem would be ridiculously easy to solve with letting users tag apps"

Are you sure? That would be abused for SEO in about two nanoseconds.

IMHO, the app store has too few categories to put apps in. A richer taxonomy would be better.
I would suggest Ruby for a few reasons.

Perl is so similar to Python especially in its strengths that you would be primarily using one or the other.

Ruby has great web framework support with tons of resources and plenty of people for both Sinatra and RoR. With Dancer and other Perl frameworks there's not a lot of info online besides the framework docs.
With Ruby, you can use Heroku, while Perl you're going to need to use a Heroku buildpack to get it working which is more work.

I don't know if vi has syntax editing for Ruby, but I would imagine it does.

Perl would be easier to learn but wouldn't really give you any extra benefits over Python. It would probably be just as good to use a Python framework, either Bottle or Flask.
Ruby is much more OO, has better framework resources and is different enough from Python that its worth learning
I lived on the Treo 650 from the day the GSM version came out to when I got my G1 (about a month after it came out). Having used that Treo 650 and many other smartphones of that era (O2 XDA, Sony-Ericsson P900, Nokia Communicator, ...) I will absolutely, unequivocally, beyond the shadow of a doubt say that the iPhone was part of the same evolutionary tree.

Did the iPhone do the things my Treo could do much, much better? Was it a great step forward? Absolutely. The iPhone was and is amazing [1]. Nevertheless, saying that the iPhone stands apart from the broader evolution of mobile devices is either ignorance or a willful misreading of the relevant history.

[1] Though I will admit to finding the idea of paying money for ringtones of music you already owned a repugnant step back.
I once read an account of an extended animal test of a toxic chemical compound on a number of monkeys. While most died, one demonstrated amazing resistance to the toxin and I remember being shocked when the result was simply noted as anomalous and the animal put to death without further investigation. It was only after I had read the whole thing did I finally realise the whole account was fictional. I can't find it now but that really opened my eyes to the suggestive power of authentic-sounding text.

Speaking of which, the Severed Heads' "Dead Eyes Opened" (1) is another effective example of authentic-sounding historical text.
