Ah, that theoretical answer does fill in one missing link for me. I kept wondering how you could detect even a trivial modification of a standard hashing algorithm (say, reversing the hash) if all you had to look at was its outputs. It seemed like a massive search problem through the space of all possible modifications, though no doubt there exist sophisticated techniques to apply. But if you have some input/output pairs, the problem seems entirely more tractable. Even I can begin to imagine how one might tackle that.

The point you and others make that if the database is compromised then the code almost certainly is too, is clearly the best answer though. I am now prepared for the next time I encounter my interlocutor at extended family dinners!
No compiler issues to speak of.

* They're not nearly as fast as an Intel server CPU. If you have a task that can be easily split across any number of machines this may not matter, but not every case is like that. For many tasks it's just more pleasant to have 10 fast machines than 50 slow ones.

* They're only 32-bit and 4GB is pretty small for a server these days. Aarch64 will address that whenever they become available and cheap.

* The low-CPU low-RAM tasks that todays ARM servers are well situated for is also easily handled by virtualized x86 in enterprise environments.

I'm a big ARM fan -- I've got 6 or 7 ARM machines I play with from time to time on my home network -- so I hope they make a credible run at the server space.

If you'd like to debate theology, you're welcome to state a position and stick to it. You either consider yourself the final arbiter on morals, and thus whether or not taxation is moral, or you don't. If you'd like to introduce nuance into the dichotomy, you are welcome to.

But it sounds to me like you are not a person who recognizes the validity of any argument that doesn't extend from force in one way or another, so I'm having trouble seeing how your concept of God works with your agreement with people who pretend to be God.

I don't think anyone is dismissing abiogenesis, just that the likelyhood of life evolving on a planet, then evolving to be intelligent, then developing technology way outside our knowledge of the world (like FTL), then deciding to go out and explore in our small part of the galaxy (and with 400 billion stars in the Milky Way and billions more galaxies, I do mean small as in a cluster a few hundred light years in radius to detect human radio signatures at the very least), and THEN, deciding to come down and meet us/trade with us/invade us/destroy us/take our resources (which are very human things to do. considering how different psychologies of cultures can be on this planet, I don't think these are the only options).

I don't think anyone disputes that any of those things on the list are "possible," just the odds stacking up in our favor.
Behold Ubuntu Server 13.04: Focus on hypervisors and OpenStack
There was a very mediatised incident in Japan a few years ago [1], with toxic substance getting into frozen food packages.

As public opinion was focused on the issue, a lot reporting got done on the general practicies of the chinese factories in the food industry, and some of them were having a 'low cost' line with simpler quality checks for domestic foods, and a 'high profile' line with increased checks and attention to sanity for goods to be exported.

A lot of it was sensationnalized I supposed, but there still seemed to be a radically different thinking about food quality on the manufactoring side.

Some Linux vendors have started offering support for various "older" ARM chips, but I doubt they will even try to support all since there are many, and are not even powerful enough to be useful so there's no need and no point in doing that.

Cortex A15 is probably the most supported right now. However, I think you'll really start seeing unified support across all distros and tools starting with the 64 bit ARMv8 architecture and all the chips built on it. Everyone is working on supporting ARMv8 from day one. So you'll have to wait a bit longer for that (a year+).
ARM expands its Development Studio 5 IDE to embedded Linux applications
I can relate.

Around the age of 10 my family moved to UK. Few weeks after being enrolled in the primary school, the teachers were extremely impressed by my mathematical/studying ability and asked me to take a Mensa test, my parents agreed and I somehow managed to get in. That was year (grade) 6. After that I managed to a secondary grammar school solely on mental ability. I hated memorizing content, in fact, to this day I still don't remember studying at all after moving to the UK.

The secondary school was boring, I strolled through the first 5 years by simply turning up to the lessons, I didn't have to do any work at home. In my spare time I concentrated on programming and building things. I almost feel fortunate that I had so much time to be creative because I got to build websites reaching 40M pageviews per year, I got the chance to play national level basketball and everything else in between.

But that all changed when I started my a-levels. I picked random subjects like psychology, economics and computing along with mathematics with no thought and oh boy was that a mistake. For the first time ever I got a D on a maths test, it was horrible, I though I could just manage my a grades by simply turning up to the lesson. What was I doing wrong? "I've always been good at maths!!"

I was too late to realise that I couldn't just "turn up to the lesson" and get the grades I wanted. I ended up messing up my entire year and decided to take it again. Not having studied properly over the last 6 years probably also brought my studying skills and time management down. It's kinda funny, last year I was e-mailing the google security team about vulnerabilities but somehow failing an a-level computing test! Maybe it had something to do with the boring content?

This year I dropped psychology and picked up Physics instead and I've been doing pretty well, getting A and B grades in all my subjects. I also realised I prefer STEM subjects since there is less memorization involved and it's more about understanding the content. In hindsight, I could I have saved some time if I had just tried.

DRM framework for HTML5 may restrict playback of copyrighted web content
Yeah, doing this with an HSM would allow you to keep plaintext passwords (avoid expensive algorithms like scrypt/bcrypt) encrypted under an in-HSM key. As long as the comparisons happened in the HSM, no one would be able to steal the passwords. You could throw other heuristics in to rate limit or whatever.

HSMs are pricey ($5-25k), but you could maybe lower the cost if you started using them in volume for web logins; no reason you couldn't do something protected against logical/remote attacks only for $250. Hardware attacks too, if you had high enough volume, for <$1k.

Interesting how so many of the top comments thus far fall into a few categories:

"He did this at a time when the market was going up"... therefore it's impossible and I don't need to try doing this and it's OK to just keep doing what I'm doing.

"He could only do this by living in poverty"... which would totally suck, so I'm better off not doing this and just continuing the way I am.

"He can only pull this off because he's renting his house, which is totally still work and therefore he's not really retired"... so this is all made up and therefore not something I need to think about or potentially emulate.

How about instead, we look at some of the things he talks about: Live as cheap as you're comfortable with, save as much as you can, build a stack early on and get to a point where you don't need to have a full-time job just to pay the bills.

That's all very doable, and it will pay off very much like the author describes. I followed the same path (a few years ahead of the author), and ended up in a similar place in my 30s.

Rather than dismissing this as impossible, the critics here might all be better served by taking a bit of it on board.

To the author of the piece: you are depressed. You are shutting down all reasons to like yourself or even to have fun. I strongly advise counseling, immediately. Even though you're in the middle of exams, this is very important. Your school will have free or inexpensive resources available.

I know you wrote your piece as a cautionary tale, but there's a subtext of giving up on yourself, and it seems that acknowledging and showing imperfection is very difficult for you - or very difficult for your family. (Let me guess, Asian parents?)

There is a way out. However, the way out does not involve barricading yourself in your room or deciding that you are inherently broken.

The thing that successful people have in common is not being superhuman, it's that they seek out -- and get -- help from other people all the time.

I know this very well. It is like watching your life drift by, and promising to yourself that you will be fine because the winds favor you. I was able to pass high-school easily, and in the last year, to prove to myself that I could, I passed 9 AP's. I'm now in college, and I'm on the verge of dropping out, for other reasons, nevertheless. I know now that one day I will hit my wall, and that I want to get there as fast as possible, so that I can push it further.

Concerning productivity, what helped me go from doing nothing to being fully functional, were three things. I started meditating in the morning and evening (read Mindfulness in Plain Engllish, free pdf), I started sticking to a good sleep schedule, and I started using the Pomodoro technique. Hopefully they may be able to help you.

I lean anarcho-capitalist and I also don’t believe private courts/security is (entirely) practical. After I read: http://www.amazon.com/Anarchy-State-Utopia-Robert-Nozick/dp/...

TLDR: Protective agencies (judges/police) would be competing against each other. That competitive nature combined with their intended role of protecting us (and themselves) would lead to "an endless series of acts of retaliation and exactions of compensations". In addition, Nozick demonstrates why the nature of both of the businesses would already create natural monopolies in each local juridiction.
The interest and affection we have for pets is a very different situation than that of an intergalactic civilization's view on intelligent life. If they respect other life, intelligent or not, in the galaxy, chances are they would be very unwilling to interfere. I'd be very excited to visit a planet with other life on it but I would give an extreme amount of thought about whether I wanted to risk introducing pathogens or exposing an intelligent civilization to knowledge and technology far beyond its time (the immediate philosophical and psychological impact of discovering that you are not alone in the universe cannot be predicted, especially with alien races).

If, on the other hand, they didn't respect other life not as advanced as them, why would their actions be any different than that of humanity for thousands of years when dealing with less intelligent life forms?

Comparing a few (not "lots of" as you claim) specialists scattered around societies around the world is not a good representation of civilizations around the universe (or at least, we can't assume it to be).

As human as it is, most exploration has been grounded in financial and egotistical needs, not scientific exploration. Maybe the civilization is just as curious as we would be and thus would come for selfless reasons, but that's a pretty big assumption.

Well, objectivism was something I invented on my own on age 12. Then I figured for it to work everyone has to be as smart as everyone else, everyone must be able to see far into the future and have perfect information symmetry in the society.

The simple truth is that having these conditions every ideology works so it is pointless.

What Ayn Rand enables in a person is to be asshole. But you don't need excuse to be that. It is your right. Why shugarcoat it?

Edit: Also a lot of studies indicate that a person's mind is not to be trusted and there are all kinds of tricks and fallacies it falls to on neurological level. Which renders objectivism obsolete.
That's what happens if you slack off in school. School (< age 18) is essentially the best place to learn how to learn, and many (including myself) defer this because they think its somehow too easy. School often seems so irrelevant, and lets not kid ourselves, much of it is. The one thing that isn't irrelevant however is learning how to learn. Glad you learnt it late, as did I..

> we live in a democratic rule of law

> lawsuits must be lawful

It's not the "rule of law" part that's naive, it's the "democratic" part. We still have some semblance of the rule of law (although even that is starting to fray) but there is no more democracy in the U.S. We are a plutocracy, a government of the wealthy, by the wealthy, and for the wealthy. So it is unsurprising that what the banks are doing to rip people off is legal: the banks (and other big businesses) write the laws.

A lot of people don't mention this, but being smart (and more importantly knowing that you're smart) at an early age can have a HUGE negative effect on your development.

This obviously doesn't happen always, but when you're a kid that knows you have some superior intellect, you make immature kid-like decisions because of it. You fall in love with your own head. You believe that you just "get it." You ignore opportunities to develop skills because you have this irrational (and often misplaced) confidence in you abilities.

This sounds like exactly what happened to the OP. They never truly developed ther ability to focus because they could always skate by. Then when they finally couldn't skate by anymore, BAM, they realize "oh shit, I'm nowhere near as good at this as I thought I was."

The good news is that once you have the awareness you can fix it, which is what it sounds like the OP started to do. Just don't focus so much on grades :)

I'd like to add to this too:

There are two kinds of false confidence: the kind you believe to be true and the kind you don't. Both can cause trouble when you can't deliver, but when false confidence is expressed in good faith it's hard to really lay too much blame on the person in the short term; it was simply a mistake. If failure acts as a "market correction" and the person amends their behavior in such a way that they improve (always in many small increments, never in one swift move of grandeur) and subsequently gains a new high confidence that's backed by something real, the failure was a good and worthwhile one.

An unlocked bootloader can sometimes be converted to root, but it is not itself root. Once you unlock it, now you need something to ask it to boot: you need a working kernel for that device. I, for the record, cannot find the GPL2 source code for the kernel that is on this device, nor is that even guaranteed to allow me to boot it (due to Linux allowing binary blobs in modules, etc.). Therefore, I feel somewhat forced to use exploits to actually get root on the device so I can modify the software, or even dump the kernel from it and potentially take advantage of the unlockable bootloader.

Pardon me for not being clear enough (and for derailing the thread?).

What I was trying to say, is that you can catch missing dependencies and misspellings for free, while running lightweight unit tests. (unit tests are there for catching logic errors and allowing debugging of individual modules; catching misspellings is just a side effect).

On a side note, if somebody is complaining that "a typo in the python code caused client call at 2AM, this could have never happened in Haskell", what they are really saying is that they haven't bothered to run any test coverage whatsoever before deploying new code.
