Agreed. I simply wanted to point out that the car manufacturer does not actively try to prevent the car owner or the installation shop from installing a stereo. However Apple does this with their devices. Everything must pass through Apple even after the sale is complete and the user owns the device, and that is just absurd. I can't imagine what older Macs that we used for audio applications would have been like if all software had to be approved by Apple. Apple does not have the expertise to write all that software. When I say Apple's strategy will backfire I mean that the more tightly they try to exercise control, the easier jailbreaking is going to get. The auto manufacturers may have made it very difficult to do stereo installations on newer models but they are not actively trying to interfere with stereo makers and installers after the car is sold. And why should they? The buyer made his choice when he bought the car whether he wanted any factory installed audio options or not. If after the sale the buyer wants to buy parts, or get service from an authorized dealer, she can do so. But the manufacturer does not try to interfere with her choice to get service (e.g. stereo installation) elsewhere. Imagine if every car stereo maker had to get approval from car manufacturers and could only sell their products in the manufacturer's distribution centers.

What goes down can always go back up again. I'm not a Microsoft fanboy by any means (actually I prefer Apple a lot), but 11 years ago it was Apple that was on the downturn before they released the iPod. Who knows? Maybe Microsoft will be onto something soon.
Preventing rainbow table attacks is exactly what a custom hash function would do. You can't precompute hashes if you don't know the hash function. But you're right that a single salt in conjunction with a known hash function generally provides little additional protection, although this depends on the size of the salt.
My school tried to adopt that approach. It was called "writing across the curriculum." It didn't last long at my school, which I thought was too bad, since it sounded like a pretty cool idea to me.
Dropbox is just a folder — the reverse engineering was to inject themselves into the Finder for their custom icons and context menus.

> Perhaps the United States is already doing enough.

Long-term it's absolutely not enough. The fundamental socioeconomic feature of 21st century will be the competition between the US system and China's massive population for global economic dominance.

The US population is ~300 million, China's is ~1.2 billion, 4x our size. For every engineer, scientist, genius, etc in the US, there are ~4 in China. Over the long term the US has no hope whatsoever of competing against that without significant structural changes.

Those structural changes include fixing our educational system, fighting tooth and nail for skilled immigrants, offering them better incentives to stay rather than return home to fast growing developing economies to make their fortunes, fixing the broken financial and patent/IP systems, etc.

Judge Posner sums up our shortfalls well in a recent blog post [1]. The US system will need to be operating at an order of magnitude greater efficiency than it currently is to have any hope of overcoming China's massive numbers advantage. Immigration is one of the few crucial advantages the US can exploit in that competition, but right now we're shooting ourselves in the foot so hard there we're blowing our leg off.

Stage 1 clinical trials are this way by design. Drugs passing stage 1 are then given to larger groups of people for stage 2 trials in which efficacy is tested. After that step, stage 3 trials are open to an even larger group, often enrolling subjects at doctors' offices, clinics, and research centers nationwide. Stage 3 compares an experimental treatment directly against the currently standard treatment.
Thanks, I'll look into the possibility of creating Java wrappers for the user-interface-elements and interop between the Java wrappers and C++ code. It is too bad that the SDK apis aren't directly available to C++ code (without the interop overhead).
Yes, as long as you use some salt data that is unique per user (timestamp, random number/guid/whatever) (you have to store that obviously), then it's fine. The problem is acting as if a site-wide salt is an ok-thing. It's not.
Technically hashing is one-way encryption, so while ambiguous it's not exactly completely wrong.

Even as a theoretical concept, perfect competition doesn't have to always make profits approach zero. It's true that competition produces a race to the bottom on price, but there is also a race to the top on quality / innovation. As new innovations occur, they increase profit. In the absence of innovation, perfect competition would drive profits down.
I doubt this would be required.

There are many [1] plugins attacking the buffer switching "problem" from every possible angle. TabBar [2], for example, seems to do exactly what you are after.

My opinion is that such an "always on" list is a useless waste of place. My prefered way to switch buffers is to use CtrlP [3]. When it's not available,

:sb <Tab>

is very nice. I've also recently added this line to my ~/.vimrc which is remarkably effective:

Please entertain my crazy analogous thought processes for a minute...

Imagine you were eating out at KFC one night, and using taste alone, you managed to work out their secret recipe. You then decided you wanted to get into the fried chicken business, but you didn't want the overhead of renting commercial space, or buying the kitchen/service equipment you need to run your own business. So you choose to walk into your local KFC, use their kitchen to fry your chickens, wrap them up in all the KFC packaging and branding, and begin to sell them at their counter. This goes unnoticed for a few hours, but then the manager notices what you're doing, and points you towards the exit.

Surely you'd understand why KFC wouldn't let this behaviour continue. You didn't steal their recipe; you worked it out on your own. You're perfectly within your right to sell chicken based on this recipe, but you'd better do it at your store, and put your own label on it. If KFC don't want you selling products based on their recipe (however legally you discovered it), you can't wrap them in KFC packaging, and you certainly can't sell them at KFC.
Because America is a country that should support its own citizens. Suppose some other country becomes the hotspot for start-ups in five years and locating a business there becomes necessary to succeed. Without requiring reciprocation, American policy will have severely damaged American entrepreneurs ability to compete with foreign entrepreneurs who can start a business both in their home country and in the US. American policy should not support foreign entrepreneurs substantially more than its US citizen entrepreneurs.

EDIT: if you think that the US government should support foreign entrepreneurs over US citizens you need to explain why instead of downvoting.
A good cryptographer assumes that a custom hash function does not prevent rainbow table attacks, because he should not assume the algorithm will remain secret (security by obscurity, yadi, yada).

The right way to prevent a rainbow table attack is to computationally prevent it via unique salts.
Is this MS Paint?
Yes. All lot of judges are complicit in patent trolling. They are not like Posner. The Eastern District of Texas is one example. Patent trolls have to shop around for venues because not all judges are going to welcome these type of suits. You could say Posner might not be well versed in patent law, but to see what these companies are doing does not require such knowledge. These are needless lawsuits that are used as a means of (i.e. a substitute for) negotiation. This comes from the lack the maturity to negotiate like professionals. And the lack of professionalism to use the patent system as a means of protecting a developing or existing business and not as a means extortion^W"capital allocation".

Not letting this issue drop just paints Rogue Amoeba in a bad light and confirms their immaturity to people like me who already thought they were in the wrong. Add to the fact that the feature is still in the app (you just need to upload a plist file) and I won't be surprised if Apple totally bans the app and takes further action with the developers and suspends their account.

Then the rainbow table can only be used with this specific site. This makes it no more efficient than brute forcing. You can store the hashes yes, but you can also include the cracked passwords in the dictionary and it takes only slightly more time to compute them even with unique salts.

Site-wide salting has almost the same security as per-user salt, as long as the salt is not leaked or cracked before the database is leaked for pre-computation.
Git is amazing but I take issue with GitHub. The point of Git is that it's a distributed and decentralized version control system and GitHub gets rid of the decentralized part of that. That is counter to what Git was designed for.

Yes but it's not like the random hacker has a 600 gig rainbow table for MD5('DATSALT' + PW). If you REALLY want to do the right thing when it comes to storing passwords, you need to use a hash algo that is computationally hard enough to brute force, it should take at least .5 sec on a good computer to compute. Every couple years, you should add another pass of the algorithm, ie. F(F(X)), to compensate for faster computers. By adding the extra pass, you won't need the original password to generate the new, revised, stronger custom hash algo. If you do this, in 10 years your passwords will still be secured. Also, salt your passwords with each a unique at least 100 random bytes, shouldn't need to be said.
It's very interesting whether this would be possible. I thought the first guideline on kickstarter prohibits this:

"A project has a clear goal, like making an album, a book, or a work of art. A project will eventually be completed, and something will be produced by it. A project is not open-ended. Starting a business, for example, does not qualify as a project."

I'd politely disagree. My mother is already showing early stages of Alzheimer's, and while I honestly hope for a cure or even for treatments to arrest the progression of the disease, with medicine I think it's something that should be done right the first time.

Honestly, I am tempted to want to push this out myself. In the end though, given the medical, legal, and social (note: anti-vaccine crowds) implications of pushing out a faulty drug, I think in the long run it's better to wait and make sure it's safe first before opening treatment to the public.

Right, not to say that they weren't "great" teams. But do you have any evidence/numbers to show the rest of us "why" they were "great" - if for nothing else, than for perspective.

>#19: Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating.

With a little bit of retrospection, this seems to be one of the most powerful factors separating the films I've liked from those I haven't.

It's interesting to see how storytelling is like modelling - build a hypothetical universe with hypothetical characters and see what plot(s) emerge(s). If it's unsatisfactory, don't change the plot directly, but instead manipulate the characters until the black box spits out something interesting.

Reflecting on my recent viewing of Snow White and the Huntsman, it makes sense why Charlize Theron's character managed to get so much more developed than the others' - the character-centric story development process naturally produces a wide distribution of character depths.

No, because I'm not aiming to have compatible high level frameworks. Just think

the higher level OS. If you're just interested in this because it will "run iOS apps"

Rogue Amoeba wrote code that implemented a network protocol. Apple pulled their app because they did not ask Apple to license that network protocol. Which protocol will Apple claim you need a license for next? HTTP?

If you have a universe with two countries, A and B. A says it will take anyone from B provided they're in the top 10% of the population on some arbitrary metric. B says nobody can come because it's pissed off and feels Soviet. Over time the expected state is that A will accumulate more individuals ranking high on our arbitrary metric than B.

If our arbitrary metric is economic productivity, we can see that having a large population of Sergey Brins, Vinod Khoslas, etc. is beneficial to US citizens even if Americans may not have a tea party resettling in Russia or India.
