I did a double degree in computer engineering and journalism. Though I do both now professionally, I think I would've been a lot more helped out with a focus on software engineering and visual design rather than circuit design and PowerPC instructions. In most newsrooms, there is little to no logistical support for news developers, so practical development skills come much more into play than hard science and math.

The situation is not much different than photojournalism. If a newsroom hasn't created a workflow that allows for streamlined editing, processing, archiving, and retrieval of photos, then even Robert Capa is going to be too swamped with shitwork to do satisfying photojournalism. The difference is that photography has had about a century to develop editorial best practices. News-programming, or whatever you want to call it, has just gotten started, at a time when the industry is too busy flailing in a downward revenue spiral to put serious thought into anything.

Yes, Mother, THIS is what I'm going to wear... (heh)

I'm pretty lazy when it comes to passwords for services that don't house any private information, and livingsocial's buggy UI design heavily influenced my decision to use paypal in lieu of assuming they were PCI compliant.
How do you anticipate using this in your apps? Will you integrate it on the client side to provide real time feedback to users?
Well yes, it's a bad idea for governments to ban religion. Being a libertarian, Penn Jillette would agree with that.

This is a clever security enhancement and wouldn't be hard for anyone to implement. Login data could also be sent over email to a specified address.

That's what I was wondering. It's neat, but how much do people really like having their grammar corrected? Might be more off-putting than it's worth. That said, Facebook's grammar correction in the comment widget is a godsend.

Unfortunately, passwords are to account security what PHP is to web development. It may not be the best, it's not the fastest, it even may not be the most secure. But it's ubiquitous, it's free and if done right, it's an OK way to get the job done precluding more complex solutions that aren't as practical for most of us.

I think I posted this elsewhere or maybe here, but I got around the password remembering problem by keeping one master file of all passwords/usernames/emails etc... that I keep GPG encrypted ( specifically http://www.gpg4win.org/about.html ).

All passwords in the master file are randomly generated. That is, of course, the account I'm creating is a throwaway at Paul's Peanut Brittle shop. Interestingly, paulspeanutbrittle.com isn't taken.

This sounds like a good idea. I think it gets one thing wrong: Hacking living social was not about gaining access to anyone's living social account. It was about getting passwords that were reused on sites that actually matter (banking, etc).

A notification that someone has logged into your livingsocial|facebook|twitter|linkedin is only valuable if it compels you to immediately change all of your other passwords. Which might be a decent idea for a version 2 of this hypothetical software...automatically change all of my passwords whenever one of my accounts is compromised.

The sad thing is that people reuse their passwords so often. Just remembering two passwords, one for important stuff and one for social stuff, would go a long way toward making this a non-problem and taking a security burden off of a lot of startups.
A solid PR person in house will run you $85-95k/year. For a small boutique agency, expect to pay 2-5k a month plus per project costs. Large agencies have 20k/mo minimums.
The executive compensation thing is a red herring. People keep talking about it because of the manifest unfairness of allowing these people to wreck the economy and still take home 100 times what their victims do, but reducing their compensation wouldn't bring back any jobs. The problem is that a million dollars is a huge amount of money for an individual and a drop in the ocean for a government or a bank. Taking the money from them to try to undo what they've done wouldn't make the slightest dent, so all it would do is to punish them. And if that's what you're after then stop with pussyfooting around and just put them in prison already.
An interesting and related problem, from the Sydney University Maths Competition [0] 2007 [1] goes as follows:

The sisters Alice, Bess, and Cath are ﬁghting over a triangular pizza, which may be
imagined as a triangle PQR.

Their father David proposes the following procedure for sharing it between the four
of them. Alice will select a point A on the edge PQ, then Bess will select a
point B on the edge PR, then Cath will select a point C on the edge QR.

David will then cut the pizza along the lines AB, BC, and AC, and take the centre
piece ABC for himself, leaving three corner pieces (some possibly empty, if
endpoints of edges have been chosen).

The sisters will then either all take the corner piece to the left of the point
they selected, or all take the corner piece to the right of their point; Alice
(as the eldest) will get to choose left or right.

As everyone knows, each sister will make her choices purely to maximize the area
of her own share, except that Alice and Bess, if their own shares are unaffected,
will act to the advantage of the youngest sister Cath.

If they all reason perfectly, what will they do?

The constraints on this problem lead to an interesting result, but the fun is in teasing out a logical argument to why that result is the case, so I will leave it for those who want to try it.

Wouldn't an attacker who's gained enough access to a system to get db dumps or modify serverside code to the point where they can capture incoming passwords simply turn off the audit calls?

Wouldn't an attacker who's gained access to a secondary account through a password derived from a db dump change the audit URL?

Beside that, knowing an account is compromised is better than nothing but often not particularly useful - see all the horror stories by people who've had their gmail account compromised. They tend to find out very quickly the account has been taken over, recovery is still difficult and the loss of data/time/neurons is often significant.
It really depends on what is said. Rapist watch can profile people who watch for rapists too.
Have we totally forgotten Keynes? My spending is your income. The resources of an economy (in this case, many of Spain's workers) are lying idle. The entire country would be wealthier if they were put to work.

Further, I don't know what you mean by "easy living", but Spain was more fiscally responsible than even Germany before the crisis. Spain's deficits are not the result of irresponsible borrowing and spending (as in Greece), but rather of a collapsed economy because the investment money (mostly German, etc) that flooded the country before the crisis evaporated just as quickly after the crisis.
Some of the photos were taken at slightly different angles. Perhaps that accounts for some eigenfaces.

From my experience working for a web design company that also does PR, $1000 certainly won't get you much. A cheap PR firm will charge you at least $100/hour which affords you ten hours. Once meetings, planning and strategics are through, you won't have much left at all. My recommendation would be to learn some basic PR yourself and implement it that way.

I'm guessing by PR you want marketing, and it would be far cheaper and more valuable reading a bit up on it to get a grasp than hiring someone else to do it. Read FastCompany or Inc., they regularly post great articles on that sort of stuff that you can read quickly to learn some valuable base strategies/ideas.

And if you think you don't have time, remember that a PR firm isn't just going to open your website and work magic, they're going to want to spend hours going over your brand, your goals and more. You'll have to have meetings and explain a lot to them. In that time you could easily learn an adequate amount of PR strategies to at least implement something decent.

And I'm guessing if your budget is $1000 you don't need anything major to begin with, which means doing it yourself makes even more sense.
Germany seems to be getting blamed for the economic problems in Spain and Greece, but when I read a line like this:

> The strength of the German economy in recent years has largely to do with its export success.

I think, well, at least Germany actually makes something. I'm not familiar with any major products or services coming out of Spain or Greece. Maybe it's the American in me, living a life inundated with advertising and branding messages, but when an economy is not based on agriculture, natural resources, or tourism, it seems logical that it should be known for something - preferably making something.
In French, this is an acronym for "On S'En Fout", which mean "we don't care".

2. Prepare a glass with a lot of ice

3. Pour the same amount of cocktail into each glass (make sure it's identical)

4. Wait

5. Simultaneously strain both glasses into measuring cups

6. See how much liquid came out of each glass

While in prison, he divorced, got married, received a college degree from Mercer University in 1992, a master's degree from Hofstra University in 1995, began a doctorate, and developed programs and resources for inmates and their families.

well, you can say he got a lot of time for that in there, but still, wow.
in what way? they have 2 articles on the front page, 0 on the second page, at this moment.
There is a solution that is easier than auditing, found within the public key system. You could use the same password for every single website without any of them ever knowing what it is. You would instead associate your account with a public key and then use it to verify your identity every time you wanted to log in.

Then, the only vulnerability is your local machine. If someone hacks a website, the only password related information they can access is your public key, but you tell that to everyone anyway. They won't be able to use that to log onto any other website, even though you use the same password for all of them.

You would still probably want to use multiple public keys, and two-factor authentication (to eliminate the single-point-of-failure risk), but the technology already exists for us to be doing this. It just needs that extra layer that will make using such a system easy for grandma, and then of course for websites to start accepting public key authentication instead of password authentication.

edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography
A user isnt only vulnerable when the db gets hacked. People have other ways at getting at passwords (sometimes they guess). The idea is that if you see a lot of incorrect password attempts, you also know that something funny is up. Or, you could also see that a login attempt was issued from a computer in Nigeria (even with correct credentials). Imagine if you got a popup on your phone whenever you logged into your bank account. Wouldnt you feel a lot more safe that no one else has your information?
While I agree with the premise of the article; the author's proposal is somewhat ridiculous. It faces pretty much all the same problems as OpenID.
But the majority of people don't need that much HSM. And that's the interesting problem I see with this: the enterprise can afford it, but is going to be wary of using a cloud provider for this sensitive of data; and it's outside the budget of most startups. There is probably a tier in the middle, though, that Amazon expects will happily use the product.
So if everybody eats potatoes and bread all day... that's enough for you because it satisfies an incredibly obtuse quantitative metric?
What's happening now is actually more complicated. The economies of the south are never going to take off with measures that are planned by a committee of 3 world institutions. The more the south sticks to the euro, the more complicated it's going to get. There is a good chance that a 'southern euro' might actually work, as the southern economies are all in similarly bad shape and in need of stimulus.

The controller/thermostat on a stabilized freezer turns on and off in a steady state as it reaches setpoint and then drifts away from it when the motor is off. Filling your ice cube trays with hot water forces the thermostat on sooner, makes it stay on longer because of hysteresis in the controller settings and so freezes faster. That is the only demonstrable reason I have ever seen.
What bankruptcy does is reallocate resources from non-productive operations to productive ones. At least that's how it used to work.
Do you have a citation for that lethal dosage? http://www.inchem.org/documents/pims/chemical/nicotine.htm#P... claims the lethal dose is estimated at 30-60mg for adult humans, citing Gosselin 1988. That's 0.3% of the dose you quote.

I wasn't able to find the relevant page in Google books, but I did see a snippet that seemed to say that some of the other chemicals in cigarette smoke may actually have a protective effect against nicotine toxicity.

I run noscript in Firefox for casual browsing and reading. I don't do it out of paranoia. I do it because most sites load much faster. The number of external scripts loaded on media sites is usually the bottleneck, with 20+ not uncommon.
That's just toxicity. Nicotine can cause insomnia and various other side effects. It obviously induces dependence. Someone shouldn't have to be exposed to that involuntarily.

Can't really say without knowing your core market. It varies between industries. But, a good starting budget for anything small is around $15K. That does not include a lot of side-costs, like media bribes and such (which is a reality these days).

Though I'm not sure if you are asking for PR or marketing. For a $1000 you can definitely get some good marketing going in many industries, though.

Spain's problems are endemic; but most of Europe shows similar tendencies now - High level of entitlements, soaring deficits, lower cost efficiency and lumpen youth. Europe's post developmental problems need high level of innovation - but the youth do not seem particularly ready for it.
How to use the Bing Search API in PHP
duct-taped together, so it all works fairly well in the end

There is much talk about being worse than in the past. Of course, what they mean is being worse than what they expected from extrapolating past improvements.

One example is employment inequality: in the past it was taken for granted (you found a job first, it's your right to keep it). Now there is a growing sensitivity to the unfairness in that. Youth unemployment was always high, whereas now, while being even higher, it's also seen as calling for deep trouble. In that sense it is similar to the increased sensitivity to domestic violence.

Another example: In the olden days people would just moan about the disappearance of small shops when big supermarkets came to town. Now there are consumer groups (grassroots urban shopping cooperatives). Not the result of regulatory change, or of the dire economic situation (most advertise themselves as eco-friendly first, cheaper second) but of greater sensitivity.
I don't think I could handle a quarter century in prison. That's just insane. Had his sentence been closer to 30 years, he would have served his first term the year my dad graduated from college, and he would have been released the year I intend to graduate. Crazy. 25 years is longer than I tend to think. It's from, like, black-and-white Beatle-mania to the Apple Macintosh. Or, in this case, from the Macintosh to the iPhone.
In all seriousness how does one date in prison?
There's a perception amongst the 'ordinary' people that those at the top scratch one anothers backs. The government spin is that we're all in this together but the reality seems to be different. It's not surprising when you see how politicians when they retire often go on to get directorships at banks. Or how in the case of our most toxic bank, the chief executive apparently used to personally handle loans to politicians and other influential people.
Politicians have talked the talk but when it has come to punishing those responsible nothing happens. Constitutional property rights are cited. They'd love to do something but their hands are tied or it would spook the markets or to paraphrase you the effect would be negligible so let's not bother. Much more would be raised by milking the masses some more.

Doesn't storing a hashed and salted version of a user's password accomplish the same thing as storing a user's public key? I suppose the other advantage of doing this is it's easier to do without the password leaving your machine.

edit: I should have added it's equivalent to requiring a password of a certain length.
Newton's cooling law can be written as t = -ln(T(t) - Te)/k + ln(To - Te)/k. T(t) is the object's temperature at t, Te is the surrounding environmental temperature that's assumed constant, To is the object's starting temperature, and k is a constant scaling factor related to the material of the object in question. Since this effect is contrary to that law, the law is wrong, i.e. too simplistic. It's not hard to imagine that the surrounding Te is changed by the object or that k of water+container can change depending on its temperature or purity...

Doesn't storing a hashed and salted version of a user's password accomplish the same thing as storing a user's public key?

No, because a public key can't be reversed into a private key. A hashed and salted version of a short-enough password can be reversed (sometimes trivially).
