Maybe you should give them the link to this discussion. They'll learn that we're not on their site to be amazed by the fact they know basic html and we'd prefer our articles more readable.

I infer from the article that it's not a perfectly consistent background noise across the entire grid, but rather that it's consistent enough to get a match as long as the recording is long enough. As such, even if you did have access to their recordings, or made recording of your own, you still wouldn't be able to just invert it like that.

Anyway, who uses a landline these days?
Scaffolds show you the conventions, and its up to you to expand from there.

In my experience it's been ignorance rather than laziness. I suppose you could argue that the root cause of the ignorance is laziness. If someone is writing a validator, they probably ought to check what constitutes valid input.

As a 18 year old Australian, virtually everyone I know (my age) possesses a debit card, which is virtually the same for purchasing most things. Mastercard start giving them out when you are 16, so most young people have them. That is also the age most people start getting more expensive phones, but my opinion might be skewed by the fact that the iPhone came out in Australia when I was roughly that age.
We've been looking at Couchbase for our startup, and have found it a great fit for our needs. Unfortunately, we needed the functionality of 2.0, which wasn't available at the time. Since then we've been building on Postgre. Seems we'll have to take it into consideration again...

Do you know if a client for the Go language will be released?

I think vendors should have a policy for dealing with security vulnerabilities. The policy should say how much time they will take to fix it and how they will give credit those who found the issue.

If a vendor does not have such a policy or is found to have violated it, I would go for immediate full disclosure.

If they only use Google Analytics (or Piwik, or anything else) and not fact-check this with server logs, they deserve to feel "low on traffic".

But Ghostery is not able (correct me if I am wrong) to disable the server from logging you. And automatically reading server-logs is not so difficult at all.

The most funny thing here is, that in Germany, you should anonymize an IP-address, when tracking, because of the law, that is concerned with privacy.

But the server logs your full IP non the less.

On the original post:
The technology advertised to the author would be totally illegal in Germany. And if I would ever encounter (via Ghostery) a site that uses them and has a German base, I would inform the authorities against them.

I just hate this philosophy of bending/breaking the law/common sense, just because it is possible and might bring in some Bucks. And just because pressure from users might change the regulators minds in the future. It just feels so totally wrong, so disrespectful against fellow human beings, that imho everybody, that has something to do with things like this should be deported to somewhere like North Korea, or the likes. Or like in the middle ages should stand in the pillory (and not in a virtual one).
Support is a bit exaggerated, the 386 option hasn't compiled since the 3.2 release due to unconditional use of 486-only instructions (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44931). Who knows if it actually worked before that.

I wonder who else is on TED and TEDx 'blacklist'.

"Speaker speaking at more than two TEDx events in any given year, such as Nitin Gupta, please do not book him at your event, he is currently on our speaker blacklist."

TBH, TED has been going down the tubes for a few years now. They started as an interesting conference, but they're a XXX million brand now. More noise, more entertainment, much less insight.

There are some pretty reprehensible people who have sown chaos and destruction in places like Africa or mesoamerica, who have since taken refuge in the U.S.. Some of them are there with the express purpose of raising funds for their compatriots so they can continue to do what they're doing.

These are not nice people.

Now, imagine how U.S. citizens would react if the nations being hurt by these people started conducting drone attacks on U.S. soil that got those nasty people, but with an "acceptable amount of collateral damage".
The point? It's a light-weight embedded web server in Objective-C. If you need a web server embedded in your Objective-C app, then you can use it.

As for verbosity -- Objective-C stylistically tends to be a little more verbose than other languages (named arguments, no abbreviations, verb-object structured method names). It doesn't need to be but it tends to be as a matter of tradition.

That said, for what it's doing (setting up a web server with 3 different responses and error handling), this is not particularly verbose.
This is the sort of slippery slope which deteriorated the culture of Reddit. Here's an example of the front page from 5 years ago: http://mashable.com/2012/05/10/reddit-2007/ If the users don't maintain a sense of courtesy and stay on topic, the noise to signal ratio will become intolerable.

Did you look at the service at all?

Just curious...

I used it a lot for prototyping and it is totally possible to generate images in (nearly) every aspect ratio.
I do use this service for some time now for prototyping. So not invented right now, actually. ;-)
sencha.com, activestate.com, sandisk.com, clustrix.com, and about 2000 others use LandLander. I checked the privacy policies of those four sites and none of them say they are giving away your personal information. On the contrary, they all explicitly say they aren't.

"We do not share any information about you or your company to unaffiliated third parties, except as necessary to administer the communications we offer and as permitted by law. We may use a third party service provider to for communications; that company is prohibited from using our users’ personally identifiable information for any other purpose. If you follow us on Twitter, Facebook or on other social media services, we may use information provided by these services to customize our communications to you. We will not share the personally identifiable information you provide with other third parties unless we give you prior notice and choice." - http://www.sencha.com/legal/privacy/

Nearly every company using LeadLander is breaking the law because their posted privacy policies do not state that they are giving a third party your personal information, and that third party is giving it to others.

Edit: It looks like http://formalyzer.com/formalyze_call.js is the specific js file that uploads personal information. Of the sites I listed only clustrix.com is loading that (on the contact form). The other sites seem to be using LeadLander without the form tracking.

I have two Linode's. They're so easy to spin up or spin down, it's a bright sunny day's walk in the park compared to any other service. Ahem, Amazon.

You gotta deal with all the typical unmanaged VPS stuff, but their support and the management of your linodes are second-to-none. I can't recommend them enough.
IPython is extremely useful.

I like the qtconsole feature but i find it less than perfect to install:

1. pip install ipython
2. <system package manager> install qt4
3. pip install pyside / qt4 bindings

The better feature, for me anyway, is the notebook interface (it starts a local web server and gives you a rich web guy, somewhat like a Mathematica idea of interactive notebook editing with inline charting etc.)

But, that's a whole other bunch of dependencies that aren't in scope when installing ipython.

Not sure of the best fix, offer ipython and ipython-full-stack on PyPI?

As I see it, TEDx talks are not at the same level as TED talks. TEDx is for a community, TED is for the world.
IPython notebook is actually one of the most interesting developments not just in the python world, but in computing generally. It's the first step towards the fully graphical shell on the internet that many of us have been looking for, whether or not we realize it.

Being able to weave together text|markdown, tabular data (in almost any format you want) and images ( whether from matplotlib, raw captures, or synthetic assemblies ) in one environment is very powerful.

I suspect that with some additional tools IPython notebook will become the integrators workbench par excellence, useful in many contexts.
How the article is designed - it took me a while to understand that 42floors was not the company performing the tracking. I initially went there to find a name of the company (to put it on permaban in my NoScript), yet the only organization popping up while skimming through the page was 42floors. I was a bit spooked when I checked the noscript-list for blocked resources and saw the url I thought was tracking me.

After that, I looked at the URL-bar and it took that long for me to click.

What else should a person put on their resume (beyond job experience) when applying for security roles? Patents? Education? Open Source Projects? I would think that CVE-IDs would certainly lend color, and probably credibility to the resume of someone applying for a security position, particularly if the CVE-ID (which has some amount of peer review) was associated with something interesting or relevant to the position being applied for.
I really wish there was an equivalent of IPython in Ruby; it's one of the tools I miss the most from python.

What's one of the "bad purposes" you're talking about, anyway? What's the threshold of "badness"? How do you define what is worth quitting your job, and what might merely annoy a user? Can you even quantify it? Is it illegal, and where? What is 'it', anyway?

I'm talking about things like identifying if somebody is gay or republican or kinky and using the information for profit. Aside from selling it to background-check websites and the like, and the fact that it's information people willingly give up about themselves to entities unknown, I have trouble understanding how you can be so offended you think people should lose their jobs rather than develop potential parts of a potential system that could maybe harm someone at some point.

Your assumption about the "cleverness" of developers is misguided. If a guy is told to write a small piece of code which simply takes HTTP requests from JavaScript and plugs it into a database, there is no idea what the fuck that could be used for. The guy maintaining the database also may not know what the fuck he's looking at, it may just be numbers. Are you really so willfully ignorant as to believe every single outcome of every single human action is cut & dry?

I worked out that command line years ago, and I don't even remember what it all does. And all of my machines are linux, so I can't test out what it is for OS X. But from looking at the soxformat man page, I'm guessing you might try replacing "alsa pulse" with "coreaudio".

You can also look at the output of "sox -h" to see what audio device drivers your sox has.
Good point. I think that if the "mother" company can fund the startups, without getting in the way, and accept a reasonable equity, then it's a good formula for success.
No, but that one is awfully similar. The video I was referring to was presented on a more professional TED-looking stage, which is why the author tried to pass it off as a TED talk.
It is now much, much more than that. Besides the notebook (that allows you to mix python, images, math, etc... inside an html browser: http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/_static/notebook_specg...), you get a powerful engine capable of distributing computation between different machines.

Rather than trying to hide everything another tactic is to provide random misinformation (different user-agent strings, only presenting a subset of fonts and plugins, etc). Enough to defeat the fuzzy matching that does go on.

Sure you've got to be careful that you don't do things that may break some sites that rely on this information remaining stable during a session, but that's got far less common with the frequent browser upgrades that go on nowadays.
The FCC did a study that called out ISPs for not providing the bandwidth they promised and a year later it was mostly fixed. So in some sense this kind of data does embarrass ISPs into improving; OTOH they already improved and it's not clear how much more they're willing to invest.
No, how so?
From what I understand the policy is roughly: If you are selling something that can be used "outside" your Android app, then you are not required to use Google's payment processor and you can avoid the 30% cut. Amazon (and other ebook vendors) use this to sell books directly from their reader apps. I'm not sure what Dropbox, SkyDrive, etc do.
Honestly, the term entrepreneur and start-up is used very liberally in India. In the last 3-4 years there has been a deluge of 'entrepreneurs' who are basically social media consultants or SEO firms and 'startups' which are nothing but consulting firms who are basically a group of freelancers working together.
Its impressive what you can build with a huge amount of slaves.
It's a python repl, it has a bunch of useful syntax extensions such as autocall(not needing to type parens after no args calls and around one arg calls) ? ?? for help summary, syntax higlighting, readline, tab completion, optional integration with GTK, Qt or wxWidgets toolkits(ie letting you build and interact with guis in repl).

ipython has a client/server model with multiple gui frontends including a qt one that lets you print out inline graphs and ipython notebook which lets you generate documents with code and data analysis/visualization. I believe the last part is what the grant is for.

Python has been used in scientific and statistical fields a lot lately and ipython notebook is quite useful for that.
Instead of a script to embed, these firms could provide an API to identify users from the server side. The scripts that captures the profile would be served by the sites themselves rather than from third party services. ... Toast.

Not really. If they share data on the server side, they wouldn't be able to share a cookie - they would have to rely on other means to identify you, such as IP address etc. Not entirely impossible, but not as precise either. And that is spoofable through proxies etc.
More than rich or powerful, these are people who have become twitter famous and now milking it to good effect.

I'm surprised tat NZ doesn't have stringent laws prohibiting this. In Australia, if you give info for a pacific reason, that's the only thing it can be used for. Heavy fines can result if it's used in any other way.
Regarding point 2, the article gave me the impression that they used historical measurements of the the mains frequency as part of the analysis. Since Britain is on a single grid, the local conditions shouldn't affect the recorded signal. I'm sure it is possible to find patterns (frequency drops slightly in the morning as the public utility tries to keep up with increasing demand), but you wouldn't know, for example that the utility overestimated demand on the particular morning that the audio was alleged to have been recorded (and thus that the frequency was actually higher).

As for point 1, there are a number of plausible angles to approach this, but I think that the forensic adversary has a huge advantage: Synchronous detection. The approximate time of the recording is known, as is the historical record of mains frequency. That allows for the possibility of huge processing gain, which might allow for recovery even after the amplitude of the mains hum is filtered to below the quanta of the audio system. I almost think you might have to Fourier Transform the whole audio record and zero out any component at f_mains +/- delta (and harmonics). That, of course, would look pretty suspicious to a forensic analyst.

Even that might not be enough if mains hum has a determinable effect on the data compression algorithm used to store the audio data.

Edit: The point I was trying to make in the first paragraph is that if you wanted to forge a recording, you'd need to have the grid frequency data. Having it for anywhere would be good enough and not having it for anywhere simply wouldn't.
Thanks for the RequestPolicy pointer.

(edit) Does anyone know of a Firefox/Chrome add-on that strips referrer info from cross-site requests? That'd be the simplest way to deal with all externally hosted .js and images that double as trackers.

Not Exactly!

Students need to be told true stories. Not make believe ones. False inspiration is useless. There have been numerous instances in India where people some one like Ankit Fadia has mesmerized students with novelty windows tricks.

And there are many cases, where some one from the alumni visits a engineering college and brags about how he is a manager in just 4-5 years, and how all programmers are under achieving losers. Such talks scare away students from pursuing technically intensive careers and perpetuates same attitudes when they get to their jobs. They continuously undermine/underpay technical jobs and reward managerial jobs.

The net result is misdirected and manipulated students. Sometimes guys who are really good, totally determine to never get into technical roles.

This has led to a huge shortage good engineers in India.
