I'm assuming there is no users and/or revenue stream. So your talking about an untested business plan, some intellectual property ie code, trademarks, patents. I don't know of anything but I'd be interested to see. Yuo might think about selling it as a service and white labeling the functionality.

> An important note here: an active attacker can silently downgrade client connections to turn off PFS.

In retrospect, that this is possible seems obvious to me, but it had honestly never occurred to me before. I wonder why this isn't more widely discussed when talking about SSL security?
Or do you have anything you could sell? That might be a quick way to get some money.

"""
Mr. Banner, who teaches law at the University of California, Los Angeles, is himself a sure-footed historian and a legal writer of exceptional grace and clarity. His evident love of baseball does not seem to cloud his judgment.

It would be hard to say that of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, an avid fan. Called upon to decide a major antitrust challenge to organized baseball in 1915, he instead did nothing for a year, effectively destroying the fledgling league that had filed the suit and forcing it to settle.

The law would have required him to rule for the challengers, he later explained in open court, but he did not have the stomach to destroy a national institution. “I decided,” he said, “that this court had a right, if not a right a discretion, to postpone the announcement of any such order.”
"""

When the judge can openly admit that he sat on your case and bankrupted you because, while the law was definitely on your side, he didn't like you personally, there may be too much discretion.

This was some time ago - have judges been restricted since?
In case no one told you the US is awesome. There's more to a country than its government.
Sure, if we're talking about a small number of users. But this isn't going to scale and it doesn't seem very cost effective.
The title, though reflective of the article, is misleading. It should be "Some speculation about what might happen in the unlikely event that many Kenyans started using Bitcoin".
Theoretically, one can see all the transactions of Kenya right?
If it was anything like the Niagra processors the shared fp units normally are a bottleneck for fp. But the larger problem was the register remapping/pipelines. They were fast, if you were running certain workloads. God help you if you had to compress anything on those systems. Without pbzip2 or pigz it took forever. Really bad example but bulldozer seemed way too niagraish to me based on its goals.
I still don't understand this whole thing.

Why oh why didn't Snowden's interviewer ask him to explain the tech giant's denial of PRISM? And their denial in general of government access to their data beyond the court-ordered variety we all knew about?

I really doubt all the tech giants are spinning the same prepared lie about not knowing anything. And if they're not lying, then where does that leave Snowden's accusations?

Maybe PRISM does exist, but maybe it has limits and can't access everything it wants to, but only everything that can already be scraped? In which case, who the hell cares, we all know mass data scraping and mining is going on with our public shares and comments. Maybe PRISM does this really well, but then, again.. what's the big deal?

The alternative is almost too far-fetched... that the tech giants are all lying (unlikely); that PRISM has access to their protected data without their knowledge (still unlikely); or that PRISM is fed the data via insiders within the tech giants who are like IT spies - which would make the best hollywood movie. I'd call it PRISM GAMES. Oliver Stone, stay away... you're not touching this after your 9/11 effort.
I mean , they do have their own private keys.
So anyone with access to a CA's private key can pretend that they are that CA.
We did tell it like it is. In the security reviews (note the plural; we have ongoing reviews).

Here is the documentation from the initial public release:

Note all of the times we called out government actors as potential threats?

With respect, it is easy to tuck tail and run (as in move to another country), it is much more challenging to dig in and try to change things.

Minimizing Distractions
Are you trying to say that it's inherently silly to question the integrity of a comedic organization?

If so, I'd disagree with you, as many people use comedy as a means to make a point, political and otherwise. I think the success of Jon Stewart and Colbert point to the fact that valid points can be made with comedy.

While I don't think "comedic organizations" are (or should be) held to the same standard as journalistic ones, GP has a valid point about bias, even in comedic reporting.
Ask HN: Why for APPL/MSFT/FB/GOOG/AT&T it is okay us and not for the NSA?
The fact the NSA or any other governmental institution will have data about us which is stored and processed on those companies' data centers only means that there is a 3rd party which is the the government that they share this data with.
But I wonder why it is okay for them to store this data in the first place?

Why is it okay for them to share this data with 3rd parties - such as for ads and sales promotions?

In other words, with or without the NSA the current state of affair is a total mix of chaos and anarchy. Everyone is doing whatever they want, and collecting whichever piece of information they want about us, including locations, likes, page visits, etc. all over the "apps ecosystem" even key-logger were found in all smartphones.

Take a your mother's smartphone, which is set to the default privacy, and loaded with top 25 "social" apps, and sniff its communication for about an hour or two, and you will be shocked how much data this device sends out without having the owner typing anything or searching anything.

This is all well known, and yet, widely acceptable by the public, they all "check-in" restaurants, bars and shoe-stores, instargramming and facebooking all day, and all are fine with it.

So I think, if you are okay that your personal life activity will be "map-redcuced" for shopping recommendations, it should not bother you that much if it will be "map-redcuced" at the same time for the sake of "national security".

Either take the RMS way of avoiding cloud and social apps at all - or join the game, but be aware of the facts.

God says...
that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save
only with the king of Israel.

18:31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw
Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they
compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD
helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.

18:32 For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots
perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again
from pursuing him.

18:33 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of
Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his
chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the
host; for I am wounded.

18:34 And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel
stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even:
and about the time of the sun going down he died.

Except universities don't set immigration policy. The claim by the post I responded to was, to boil it down, that Americans don't want immigration. Universities are just on easy data point to reach for.
If you don't want them, other countries will be more than happy to take those unwanted Ph.D. students off your hands.

Ph.D. students don't pay tuition because the remuneration they get for their work is part tuition waivers, part money. If they do not work for the university and are not eligible for tuition waivers, they have to pay tuition instead (both foreigners and US Americans).

In practice, they are basically inexpensive (for their qualifications) temporary employees in teaching and research; what they get out of it is a degree.

Because the only thing members of Congress care about is being re-elected. And for that, being able to say "we held hearings about the IRS/NSA/FBI scandals" is good enough.

Remember: in politics, results don't matter. The only thing that matters is the successfully giving the perception of working towards results. People who like to actually deliver results don't go into politics. They go into the private sector.
How did she work in the US without a work visa? Every company that I have worked for (large and small) do the I-9 verification process at the start of employment. I can't see any company being so desperate for employees that they would skip that and hire someone without work authorization.

Of course, if you were working for yourself (freelance), there are no employment verification checks.

I interpreted his rage as being directed toward the "without any guarantee they can stay?" part of the statement.

It IS quite wasteful that he was given this opportunity, and then thrown out before he even had the chance to complete his education. Absent any real reasoning (which we're likely to never see) it's tremendously irresponsible.
I think this idea could work, and I don't see why an experiment couldn't be done on Github--after all, it'd all be just text files.

People could fork, say, a short story, rewrite parts, and submit a pull request; the original author would maintain control in this case. If the original author didn't like the change but someone else did, that person could fork the forked version (the one containing the change), add additional changes, then submit that as a pull request, etc.

It could get messy, but it also sounds like it could be really interesting, with the end result being a tree of competing stories.

Maybe somebody could submit a short story, publicize its availability, and see what happens.
Sweet! So the NSA can find holes in your code even before you release it!

Like past AWS outages, two physical locations (Dallas and Chicago) going down at once. Even if it were feasible to set up async replication to the London location, those servers are on a different platform altogether (not workable through the US Cloud Servers control panel and API). So I guess Rackspace isn't really an option for HA. Not that AWS looks much better ATM.

This article is so ignorant and painfully wrong in every single way. I think the author is just butthurt about being banned from GNOME's bugzilla (which he very much deserved in my opinion).

GNOME 3 is by far the best desktop environment I have ever used. The extension system is brilliant; I have used it to tweak every aspect to my liking. Every person I've shown it to, developer and otherwise, has loved it. It is incredibly polished and stable, especially in the latest version 3.8.

I'm tired of all the bullshit being spread about GNOME 3. If you're going to cling to the past, you're free to use a shitty--I'm sorry--traditional desktop environment.
1. trespassing at a nuclear processing facility is not harmless political protest

A lot of iOS 6 features rely on Apple infrastructure, e.g. iCloud, which will probably become even less reliable on iOS 6 as the months roll by. So no, the device becomes less useful. Try using iTunes on Lion if you don't believe me.
The license has enough holes to drive a tank through. They're clearly not using the image to make money. Acknowledgement is done "if possible". Contributing is done "if and when you can".

The "if possible" line is left up to the interpretation of the licensee (in this case, the NSA) and they can simply argue that it wasn't possible because the program was classified and including the name of a civilian who has no clearance might have impacted the classification status. Regarding contribution, that too is left to the discretion of the licensee... "Sorry, we couldn't".

As much as one might like to find fault with their use of the logo, I fail to see how this is infringement.
Why do you need the money? Someone might be willing to float you if the reason/situation is valid.
Not me. Trillian's iOS IM client is one of the few that's any good.

There is a much bigger problem with GNOME 3, it is fighting a battle that nobody cares about anymore. People using GNOME and KDE used to have this notion where they are trying to build a Windows replacement or a Mac replacement to get people to use FOSS.

Ubuntu showed that what needs to happen is to make a better UX overall and that has nothing to do with Mac or Windows.

What I mean by UX is stuff like drivers working, being able to install on a laptop or just buy it on a laptop and stuff "just works". People will pay money to support things that work. They will buy things that work.

Millions of people are using Android, which is Linux based, because it just works on their device. The experience is pretty great and it makes it easy to do what you need to do when you need to do it.

GNOME 3 didn't solve any user experience problem. It is new and shiny just because. It didn't make it better than Ubuntu, or Windows, or Mac, or Android.
Sorry I am in the process of creating the site. I'll stick to my web development history because that is probably the most appropriate.

I started the web development world in PHP where I used frameworks such as cakePHP, wordpress, codeignitior from there I progressed into python, Java Applets. Recently I have been really interested in Meteor and other java script frameworks. By far Meteor is my favorite tool of the moment.

In terms of what I have worked on:
-Last year I was the lead developer on a web app that allowed users to create funeral programs and other memorial products.
-I freelanced rewriting a music sharing/streaming service.
-I have developed a multi-screen karaoke system for a London based Karaoke company.
-I worked on a Medical system which allowed users to monitor their blood sugar level and receive alerts when it entered certain thresholds.
... and many more.

Please email me if you want more information about any of them.

Unfortunately, the "few ignorant morons" are usually in significant position of influence that can have wide spread impacts. It is even worse when these "morons" starts to become paranoid and developed a knee jerking reaction to their paranoia.
Indeed, especially if you use it in combination with their desktop applications (win or mac), because the "continuous client" functionality makes switching between devices fluid.
the windows client is equally excellent, and it's still the only IM platform (to my knowledge) that supports inline image sending, which I've gotten very used to. Plus the windows version handles IRC elegantly enough.
Those two things have nothing to do with one another.

First of all, there aren't enough American students qualified to do the research your taxes are paying for. They have to use foreign students or it would never get done.

Second, you're angry that they're not working here, but if they were working here, you'd be angry they're taking our jobs.

You're angry at the wrong people. You should be angry at American students and teachers for being too stupid to do the research jobs your taxes are paying for, and for being too stupid to get "work" in the field.
I brought an item last month with a deferred 30 day payment, which I was going to cover when a client I was freelancing for paid me last week. However, they have disappeared off the face of the earth and it does not look like they will reappear soon.

By "signed" do you mean a DRM-locked down platform ? There's no problem with signed code, there is a problem with trying to claim ownership of a device that the customer owns :-).

There are many appliances shipping with GPLv3 Samba, Netgear, Drobo, IOmega, Synology, just off the top of my head.

Of course none of these are trying to control what the customer does with the appliance.

If you want to control what customers do with their own hardware, write your own SMB3 server. Good luck with that..

We may have a decent time looking at NSA employees' trading histories for suspicious activity. They are a large, secretive organisation populated by smart people who have access to privileged information and who operate on the assumption of immunity. If you could channel public fury over Libor, TBTF, etc. at the NSA it would give the Obama administration even less of a platform to stand on.
I guess the point I'm making is there is no obscurity to be gained by throwing your actions in with a pool of others' because it is all itemized and catalogued.

So what's better? A detailed account of everything you did, or the knowledge that you went to a place, but nobody knows for sure what happened there.
