All these arguments have be brought and have been heard with deaf ears.

Europe is getting out of this theater because they have no interest in these machine and they don't work. They also pose a health safety risk (hint, the Rapiscan backscatter X-Ray were NOT in service in Europe, or not for long).

Even linking US Govt officials to the manufacturers haven't raised eyebrows.

This post titled "TSA Fail" explain how bad this has become:

Not that I tend to believe what I just read on the internet, but most of the arguments have been repeated and confirmed.
Again, deaf ears.
Even if you were forced to stand sideways, if you had objects hanging down the sides of the inside of your legs, would it still be visible? I would think that the outer part of the leg would block anything on the inside of the legs.
Well, what about the Casio F91-W? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casio_F91W#Claimed_use_in_terro...
Rowan is right; this was by far the best conference I've attended.
There's a simple explanation - the authorities' main priority is to prevent copycat attacks.

The most embarassing thisg possible for TSA would be an exact repeat of 9/11 - same weapons (wasn't it box cutters?) etc. So that's what they target first.

A new kind of attack is harder to predict and easier for the authorities to explain by saying "nothing like this has ever happened before, there was no way we could have prepared for it." And there's no way they could cover all possibilities anyway.

And to be fair, copycat attacks do happen (e.g. July 21, 2005 in London) so it is not a total waste.
It's a technical requirement. Parameter types are not part of the method signature, so you CAN NOT define both [string append:string] and [string append:int] methods. You must give them different names, like [string appendString:string] and [strig appendInt:int] , in order to give them different signatures.
While sup_g may indeed have been a "credible threat," he was in the end no match for the overwhelming federal resources of the FBI agents hunting him down. Over the last month, federal agents staked out his home in Chicago constantly, dug up old police surveillance records, tapped his Internet connection, used directional wireless finders to locate and identify his wireless router, and relied on Sabu back in his New York City apartment to let them know when sup_g went on or offline.

...anything beyond the IPs because that would be considered wiretapping.

But that is exactly what it appears they had the authority to do no?

Sorry, but I prefer my crypto being tried and tested:

"What makes you think you can invent a good cipher if y ou have no expertise in the subject? Maybe you can, but it's not terribly likely. Imagine how you would react if your doctor told you "You have appendicitis, a disease that is life-threatening if not treated. We have a time-tested cure that cures 99% of all patients with no noticeable side-effects, but I'm not going to give you that: I'm going to give you a new experimental treatment my cousin dreamed up last week. No, my cousin has no medical training. No, I have no evidence that the new treatment will work, and it's never been tested or analyzed in depth -- but I'm going to give it to you anyway because my cousin thinks it is good stuff." You'd find another doctor, I hope. Rational people leave medical care to the medical experts. The medical experts have a much better track record than the quacks."

We can avoid this by staying open to change.

Let me give an example of LSMB's newer architecture which is still being refined.

One member says "Hey, we should use stored procedures and here's why." I say "No, we shouldn't and here's why." We argue back and forth. We end up using stored procedures in a way that avoids my objection. We both win.

One member says "Hey, we should ditch LaTeX for Docbook XML." I say "No we shouldn't because then I have to spend time I could be spending programming learning a new toolchain and documentation master format." He says "No worries. I am sure someone else can maintain the docs." I say "Great." But nobody does so we stick with LaTeX.

The goal outright has to be to ensure that everyone's legitimate objections are met to the extent possible....

A better approach would be for the architect to make the first proposal. "Here's what I am thinking. Any objections? Any criticism?" And then fire off a discussion as to what the shortcomings of the approach are. These can then be the subject of a second iteration or where the architect really is wrong he can go back to the drawing board. Ideally this is done before going to upper level management.

The only problem here is that opening up your ideas to such criticism takes a sense of security and confidence that is lacking in most management types in corporate America today. People's whose primary skills include playing politics don't tend to be confident standing on their own...

Now, here's an example. In LSMB we added the ability to store files as attachments to transactions. I sent off a proposal and a few people liked it and one person really didn't. He talked a bit about how to detect and reduce file duplication in the database. There were some low-level I/O problems with his proposals, but he had other substantive objections which were correct. So we went back and forth on this a while and the end result was that I came back a week later with a new proposal taking a lot of that into account.
You'd think that it would stop working right? Yet, it doesn't seem to. It just moves.

Overall there's a trend toward the value (ROI) of advertising almost always dropping as better data on the ROI becomes widely available. Advertisers try their hardest to show the ad buyers that the ads are being massively effective, and try to hide any statistics that speak to the contrary.

Most advertising isn't effective. Period. Of course, it isn't just the form that's bad, but the message as well so it can't all be blamed on the medium.

New forms of advertising like to pretend that new money is actually being spent by consumers. Surely, there is shift in consumer spending, but it rarely coincides with the growth of a new broadcast media. Just because there's Youtube|Twitter|MySpace doesn't mean more people are buying cars|music|clothing. Yet, brands want to throw money there in hopes that there will be.

Slowly there is a realization that those $10CPM ads were only returning $3CPM of investment. When enough people realize this (it takes a while) the value drops for everyone.
A pretty good video, but it is not quite convincing enough for me to email to family and friends. Still, kudos to the guy who did it.

BTW, the first time I went through the backscatter scanner, I had a killer sinus headache within about 30 seconds. I went from feeling great to shitty almost instantly. Anyone else experience this? I have refused (opted out of) the scanner ever since. My many opt-out experiences have all been OK: a quick personal search and I am on my way. That is what I recommend to my friends and family to do.

BTW, part 2: the TSA corporation employees at the security checkpoints are not the problem, so be polite to them. The problem is the bribery and corruption that lead to the privatization of airport security.
I can tell you why Mt Gox has fewer problems with Dwolla than TradeHill. MtGox goes to incredible lengths to keep the bad guys away from their exchange: they forbid web sessions coming from TOR, they ask for proof of ID for users handling the most money (over $1k/day or $10k/month), they track stolen bitcoins and freeze Bitcoin deposits made to them containing known-tainted coins, etc.

As a consequence, the bad guys tend to operate on the less protected exchanges, such as TradeHill, and they get hit by Dwolla's chargebacks, coming mostly from hijacked/fraudulent Dwolla accounts...

MtGox's report of $5000 of Dwolla chargebacks is so small it could very much have been only 1 or 2 incidents. Of course Dwolla is going to have much more time communicating with their largest customer about 1 or 2 incidents, than investigating possibly hundreds of fraud cases involving a customer like TradeHill representing a small fraction of their business...
Oh thanks. Havn't realized that. I think it's my statcounter giving that error. I'll have to fix that. Still not done the site - lots left to add. Thanks for checking it out.
Actually this whole mess of chargebacks is precisely one thing that Bitcoin solves. As a merchant, once you receive a Bitcoin transfer, no one can reverse it or initiate a charge back.

With regard to the .net ecosystem, you are mistaken and it seems like you are speculating to prove a broken point.

The open source .net community has adopted NuGet and Microsoft even endorses it by adding support into VS. This is pretty old news actually.

The need for package and dependency management is legit in the php community just as it is in every other language/community.
Fear is not always irrational. If we encountered a large tiger while out on a walk, it would be a very beneficial response. To discuss the pragmatics, the problem appears to be the near deterministic impossibility of shutting off the defense contracting money spigot once it has been opened. It's not a business one has the power to boycott.
The idea behind "seven proxies" is that even the proxy cannot be traced back to you.
How are you dealing with the legal bills? Do you have a team of lawyers, or a legal background as well (I see you went to Stevens Institute, so I'm guessing you have an engineering background.)

Many thanks.
Oh i totally agree, the scanners are an absolute disgrace, i'm just very cynical and anything short of an absolute disaster caused specifically by the scanners or the TSA isnt going to get them removed. Governments are reactive to real world catastrophies and not a lot else, and thats why the TSA is there in the first place, its going to take something of equal measure in the opposite vein to remove them.
In that case, couldn't they put a non-reflective material behind the person being scanned?

Perhaps that would interfere with their ability to scan you from both sides, but if they have a reflective material behind you it seems like they must already have a way to scan through/around that.
"the TSA corporation employees at the security checkpoints are not the problem"

Yes, they are. "Just following orders" does not hold any water:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_orders#Nuremberg_Trial...

"The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him."

"so be polite to them"

No, THEY should be polite to ME. They are public servants.
Yes - Michael Chertoff (Head of the department of homeland security 05-09) consults (TAKES MONEY FROM) the same companies that make the scanners:
http://gawker.com/5437499/why-is-michael-chertoff-so-excited...

And lockheed (who has the backscatter contract) donates money all over the place:

Looking retrospectively and using language like 'century ahead' could lead one to believe it would take China 100 years to reach US 2011 levels. But at 9% compounded growth, that $8,400 becomes $50,000 in just 21 years.

Averages will also keep indicating that 'China' as whole is 'behind' the US even after China contains within itself the equivalent of 1-2 entire United States economies/income-distributions. (The averages will be dragged down because China will contain another 2-3 larger poorer economies as well.) Not so useful for understanding what's really happening.

Also, if you're NOT opting out of every scan, you're not helping the cause. You NEED to opt out of every single scan every chance you get, otherwise they'll eliminate the option and say "well, people seem to be OK with this since no one is opting out!"

Opted out at SFO and DTW and each time it was no big deal.
Looks great,

I've just tried to implement them into a Bootstrap site (without LESS) and I seem to get a double up of icons.

It looks like both the default bootstrap icons and the Font Awesome icons are being shown. The instructions don't mention the need to download a custom version of Bootstrap, am I doing something wrong?
With every new version of skype I feel the urge to downgrade to 2.8 getting stronger. It's baffling how seemingly purposeful they target user needs like the call volume control or the simplicity of the UI or the privacy of the user.

Are there any serious competitors to skype when it comes to video?
It wasn't clear to me that it was a device that was wireless. They said it was installed.. they called it a wireless router monitoring device, which suggests wireless, but it seems more plausible that they would have installed something physical to listen in on the cable connection (or something else north of the router)... the 'wireless' bit being the transmission of data back to them?
You are honestly one of my heroes. Please keep up the good fight. I haven't flown in over a year, and have never gone through a scanner, and while I love having discovered so much more of my dear old USA by car, the nearly 20K miles I've driven are starting to take a toll!

ps My favorite part of not flying has been discovering Kansas City BBQ joints. I stop each way between IL and CA. Yum. Silver lining, right?
You can't judge Ayn Rand (well, anyone--and that's my real point) by a mistaken attack on someone else (Aristotle). That's worse than judging her by a cartoon. Again, it's not an honest approach.

So sorry if I stoop to ridicule if you worship her turgid prose, but really

In case you actually think I approach ideas in a dishonest, religious way (hence, "worship")--I don't. This is just a stupid comment.

And the idea of the definition of table being some absolute thing based on shape is preposterous

This is a misunderstanding of the idea being presented. But anyway, you couldn't get a complete understanding without reading the original source (it's from a book), so speculating on it here is probably pointless.

I am happy that Paul got hooked into EDM after we started working on Picplum.

I can't stress enough how Important it is to make friends who can enjoy things outside of tech. I have had conversations with many folks at startups and they are consumed by their work. It feels like some people actually want to talk about tech and startups all the time, at work and on the weekends. I think this is rather unhealthy.

I think in a city like San Francisco we are fortunate to live with people who enjoy all sorts of hobbies and work in many different industries. This is even more true in cities outside of the bay area.

While living in Portland, I wanted to move to SF and had the urge of wanting to hang out with tech people, all the time. Good thing that never happened, luckily I had made a quite a few friends during the Mugasha days, many of them shared the same passion as me (EDM). We started going to a lot of shows together, having meals during the weekdays and even traveling around the country. This is the ultimate relaxation for me. I really did not miss talking about ruby on rails or steve jobs on the weekends.

I have to thank Portland in many ways. It's a very diverse city. It's a great place to make friends who come from all parts of the country and world.

You have to get out of your comfort zone and it doesn't matter what other people think.

I've been looking at making my own stylus (using the ant-static film that comes as a wrapper for assorted electronics) to make it easier to draw on my Asus tablet. Fingers just don't cut it for certain tasks.

BTW, the article made a few references to things with names like "<foo> for iPad", or "designed especially for the iPad".

Offhand I don't see why it wouldn't work as well for any other capacitive-touch screen. If that's true, vendors are shooting losing sales by suggesting the opposite.

(If that not true I'd love to know what makes the iPad screen different from, say, the Transformer Prime screen.)
Isn't the psychology half the battle?
You need to convince people there exists a reasonable effort to provide some sort of security --even if it's more psychological security than not. In addition, as others have pointed out it's also to filter against known (easily replicated) attacks.
They wouldn't need to decrypt any packets at all, they could simply look at ARP requests. ARP packets are typically left alone and sent un-encrypted,. otherwise it would be far too difficult to find that router and the client when connecting or re-negotiating encryption keys. Even then, it was indicated that he was using tor, so even if they did decrypt the 802.11 packets, only the header would be in clear-text.

Doing this does not count as wiretapping, as it was ruled to be akin to a dump of phone records, rather than listening on the conversation itself. Yes, they are splitting hairs, but that is how justice has to work.
WTF is HTML5 [infographic]
you missed the point
Looks attractive, but a) I see no way to search for anything (such as "vegetarian") and b) I'll never contribute if I have to use Twitter or Facebook for authorization.

So, it looks nice but for me I don't see how it beats just Googling for stuff
Not to mention, they wouldn't typically have met their co-conspirators face-to-face. It is much easier to turn on an anonymous handle on the computer screen than a human face.
It's easy to cook up a syntax for selecting parents. The hard part is implementing it efficiently. It requires browsers to scan more of the DOM tree when elements are changed. I expect it to be one of the (many) parts of CSS that are avoided by websites that want to render quickly.

Top 12 reasons you know you are a Big Data biologist
With healthcare at least, there are walk-in clinics and nurse practitioners. Without licensure you wouldn't have a surfeit of cheap doctors; you'd have quacks running around representing themselves as doctors. With licensure you still have the quacks, but they call themselves "alternative medicine" and you can still go to them if you want. So there's no real loss of choice there.
You say preventing copycat attacks, I say it's a purely reactive approach towards security, which does not work.

>the difference between professions requiring and not requiring licensure is the foreseeability of the risks.

No, the difference is in the lobbying power of industry incumbents. A quick search will show that there are states where interior decorators, and trumpet players are required to be licensed.

I think the law can assume a reasonable person would be aware of the dangers of electricity. Most states have moved away from requiring gas pump attendants--is a reasonable person aware of the dangers of gasoline? If so why not the dangers of electricity?
Darn. It's a shame that the icons are the only part of Bootstrap not under the same license. I was hoping this font would change that, but it's going to remain a no-go for commercial sites and apps where the company isn't going to create a "credits" page just to link back to CC-BY licensed stuff. They'll just license Glyphicons instead.

In fact, now I'm curious. You took the Glyphicons set and effectively copied it, yes? I don't see a link to Glyphicons on your site, which their license requires. Aren't you therefore infringing their copyright by creating a derivative work without license?
I tend to agree with you. They have been going up against publicly unpopular targets, so few have questioned them thus far, but there's no reason that can't be a ruse.
Thats not true. I've had several employers tell me that not having a LinkedIn account was amateurish.
