No but it makes case about the fact that we are currently overtreating people in some cases. With defensive medicine and the fact that there is growing body of evidence that aggressive screening for cancer in a lot of cases does little good there is good chunk we could eliminate.

By my friend that is on dialysis cannot use it 30% less in the long term without endangering her life or degrading her quality of life to the point of not worth living.

Fracture a bone - you can go without professional help - risking all kinds of nasty stuff that will get you into ER or limping for the rest of your life.

You can ignore the dermatitis but if a mole starts bleeding you MUST go to the dermatologist to check yourself for skin cancer. 30 percent less of the later checkups and you have a few corpses on your hand.
Yay, jackpot! :D

http://www.ektoplazm.com/section/free-music will overwhelm you. The great thing is that it aggregates pretty much all good free releases are there. When you find something you like, try the netlabel it comes from. Often they focus on one particular style.

Your argument is just smart-ass argument for the sake of argumentation.

Having CPU state that somehow leaks information past operating system is not realistic road for take. It would be known for thousands of Intel engineers.

Having tiny feature in chip that contains purposefully but not obviously vulnerable design that needs high level cryptographic knowledge to understand and compromises security is completely different matter.

EDIT comparing potential side channel attack to the possibility of weaken practically all ssl keys that use Intel chips is error in scale. Side channel attacks would work against specific targeted people. Weakening random numbers would work at the mass surveillance level.
To clearify, I wasn't critiquing your approach, just the phrasing.

What you're doing is how it should be done for sources you don't have direct access to.

I'd use 10 minutes though, as http://www.uscourts.gov/robots.txt points to a crawl delay of 10. Whether it's checked is the risk you take.
True. They do use other sensors to gauge the skin temperature and such. Coupling the data from that plus the accelerometer, you would at least be able to improve upon the metrics calculated. From my understanding, it's not so much of the "seeing" of the pulse being the issue as the algorithms they use to cut off the data collection, identifying it as "noise". As a result, there is errant or missing data collection during rest periods (when optical oximetry wouldn't suffer due to the movement). If there's a sustained movement, using data such as skin temp and accelerometer makes it easier to identify what's noise and what not. Their calorie tracking really suffers due to the errant tracking of heart rate and the intense activity periods; comparing my off-days with workout days, the difference in calories burnt is a meagre 100-150 calories. A moderately brisk walk alone burns about 200 calories an hour.

I suppose I was expecting some basic learning algorithms that adjust the data collection according to your day to day activities; but then this is the first iteration of the product, so there's hope. At this point of time, for me, it is just a sleep tracker + pedometer + a basic overview of the day.
Well you can definitely do all that stuff which I would file under my promote yourself and think for yourself section. But these days the labels got so desperate that the will only give out contracts that grant them shares of all revenues - even concerts, merchandise and all the other things. In the good old days you always had certain money streams which you could keep for yourself - thats pretty much over now.
Actually his advice is a pretty good start and yours is terrible. You don't get to the $69 arena concerts or even the festival circuit by doing smaller gigs, you get there by having videos on YouTube that get popular. Small gigs at bars are a waste of time. Even at the small venues that aren't a complete waste of time you still need an Internet presence to get booked.
Mid to long term research probably doesn't pay off inside the patent window so what does it matter? If I discovered a technology that's 30 years from adoption who cares if I can get a patent? It will be expired by the time I have any ability to make money from it.

Your definition of free is not the same as mine. I mean music that is freely licensed so everyone can share it as they like. Creative Commons licenses are the great standard here. Your music requires at least giving you/Bandcamp an e-mail address (a personal gripe of mine and instant tab closer) and says "all rights reserved".

This is a baffling comment given that researchers have alrady found multiple side channels in Intel CPUs that have created viable key leaking attacks. It's possible to have this problem merely by accident.

My girlfriend and I (who each have Fitbits) have joked around several times about the potential for Fitbit to be able to track sex. And now, someone's doing just that.
Does srm? My understanding is that you can't really do this with SSD drives because even writing to the same file, the underlying location of the data may change due to the internal wear-leveling mechanisms. There is no way to guarantee that you are overwriting the same physical 'block' of data on the hardware.
That is good for the labels but not for the smaller artists. I talked to people from indie labels and major labels from the digital divisions - they said all the same. If you are not already big you will get little to nothing out of Spotify etc.
Aren't there ways to not use this rdrand thing ?
EPID is slated to ship in upcoming x86 architectures. It's interesting because it provides strong hardware-based authentication, but with support for of pseudoanonymity or anonymity.
If DDG ever becomes an anything company, watch out.

Seriously, what is the business model they could have that would not result in them collecting some set of info?

Donations?
Ostensibly elected (or selected, if the election was decided through fraud) in a system where more than 40% of eligible voters are too disgusted, cynical, or apathetic to vote.

In a system where elections are so influenced by money that billions are spent on advertising candidates. Where virtually all the discussion of the candidates is about their personalities and presentation (such as whether a candidate wore a flag lapel, or how he golfed) rather than about their policies and stances on concrete, important issues.

In a system where the majority of those who do vote are embarrasingly ignorant of politics, history, and the candidates and parties for whom they're voting (largely thanks to the horrendous media coverage mentioned above, and the atrocious education system in the United States).

In a system where the elected candidates can do the opposite of what he campaigned on virtually without consequence or most of their constituents noticing (thanks to the media, yet again).

In a system where gerrymandering has effectively guaranteed the seats of most members of Congress, no matter how poorly they perform. (Given the record low approval ratings of Congress, virtually all of them should been thrown out ages ago, but that's not going to happen any time soon.)

In a system where there are only two parties who agree on most issues, and collude to keep third parties and serious alternative from ever being viable.

In a system where the people appointed by the elected/selected politicians get to make decisions outside the (incredibly flawed) legal process, in secret, and with virtually no oversight or accountability to the public.

In a system that tortures prisoners, violates human rights, starts unprovoked wars that kill millions of people.

I'm sorry, but I just don't place much trust in such a system. And I applaud whistleblowers who risk their lives to expose wrongdoings.
I'm not a biologist, related from Lustig's video, probably incorrectly:

fructose + glucose = sucrose. Body needs glucose. Fructose goes straight to liver, metabolized like alcohol, a bunch of bad stuff happens. Reason fruits are better than fruit juice is the fiber blocks the fructose from being metabolized, letting the needed glucose through.

Eating straight refined sugar is probably almost as bad as HFCS. But other sources of sugar (in moderation) are proably fine.

FWIW, I add fruit into my morning kale smoothie, and it tastes delicious.

> A company based in a country that does not have laws enabling agencies to snoop on and prevent the disclosure of said snooping would automatically be more trustworthy than any US-based company.

The ultimate irony is that by using providers in a country that spies and is unwilling to admit, over a country that spies and is willing to admit, is that you're forgoing the "trustworthy" spying country in favor of the "untrustworthy" spying country.

You know the US spies. How much do you really know about the ones that are staying nice and quiet right now?

I didn't realize secrecy equated with trustworthiness.
Right. Its density that matters, not weight. And as the top posting says, the ability to withstand atmospheric pressure. Since this aerographite stuff actually compresses 20X quite willingly, its useless for balloons etc. because pumping out the air would result in the envelope collapsing.
Again... the key thing that makes it an Orwellian society is self-censorship, not just intimidation.
Hmmm, I left that article with the impression that the author was Dr. Gandhi was seeing what he wanted to see, not some fundamental new thing (or old thing).

When I read Dr. Chua's paper originally I also thought his reasoning for a third element was weak. In particular while it is well studied how the magnetic field and electric field interact, and essentially are analogs for the other, it is entirely unclear that voltage and current are in fact in a similar relationship. Now if he had proposed a device in which its permeability to magnetic flux varied based on the current passing through it? That I could see as a resistor analog in the magnetic domain.

I agree with kken who commented that Resistive RAM is a thing, but its more of a materials properties thing than a fundamental circuit element thing.
This is excellent advice all around. As far as learning goes, a couple of bad gigs will teach you far more about music than months of jacking around with a computer.
Google Ireland is an Irish corporation. It has US owners, but so do many Irish corps.
"We have not received any request like this, and do not expect to. We have spoken with many lawyers particularly skilled and experienced in this part of US and international law. If we were to receive such a request we believe as do these others it would be highly unconstitutional on many independent grounds, and there is plenty of legal precedent there. With CALEA in particular, search engines are exempt."

This is a great response, except for the fact that it's completely irrelevant, because it doesn't tell you what would happen. Courts order things that are illegal all the time, and they don't always get stayed.

If they were served with a court order they felt was illegal that had not been stayed, could not get it stayed pending appeal, etc, would they siphon the data (or turn over data), or would they take contempt/jail?

If the answer isn't the latter, than the rest, IMHO, doesn't matter. I'm not saying they should, mind you, i'm saying i don't believe they are really better than anyone else here.

The same question should be raised about other countries.

They will, eventually, be asked to siphon off user data in various countries (and not oddball third world dictatorships, instead, large EU based and other countries). Will they do it, or will they block those countries/risk arrest?
If the NSA has the ability to break into TrueCrypt drives, then they aren't going to tip their hat on the matter, even in the case of child pornographers. They would probably only be willing to let that information out for very high value targets, because in the meantime, people are still using it and they can still get access to it. If people know that the NSA (or whomever) can get into TrueCrypt volumes, then they stop using it.
Or, you know, don't share the data with people you don't trust.
I used something very similar a few years ago. I think it was called dox.js.

Whats the story on the super similar name and ui? Is it the same thing? I'm not trolling, I'm curious if they are related cause it was a great doc system IMO.
There are endlessly discussions on here whether to go with an app or web, with many favouring the app angle because of endemic performance issues on the web when you're running on an ultra-low power mobile device.

The web is often death by a thousand cuts. Every decision by itself may seem small, but the end result is an unenjoyable, inefficient, battery-sucking result that leads people to abandon the web.
I think it's a shame they do java, but for a different reason. Too many kids are now coming up with little idea how the low level stuff works. How can you appreciate something like java and the problems it solves without experiencing what came before it? Moreover it's hard for me to think of anything that's been better for my career than the fact that I taught myself C as a teenager.
Moreoever, it's socially acceptable to be passive whereas ignoring an email (even a group email) is considered more like wilfully ignoring them (e.g cold-shoulder, blanking, etc)
Feedback: If I click the middle mouse button on the documentation here http://daux.io/Getting_Started I get the scroller icon thingy appear. Then I can scroll by moving the mouse right or left and make the content dissapear at which point I go far enough and it bounces back.

Actually, the article doesn't show that HFCS is worse than sugar - if you look at Table 1 you'll see that rats fed HFCS and sugar had the same weight-gain over the long term. However the article is slightly misleading in implying that HFCS is worse than sugar, even though their own results don't show that.

Bad science, move on. All the evidence we have shows that HFCS and sucrose are equally bad for you.
Yeah, the rhetoric at the beginning is a bunch of cheap shots at different languages. Having said that, it is clearly separated from the rest of the post by the line: Enough rhetoric, let's see how core.async works in practice.

As for language features? core.async is not a feature of Clojure/ClojureScript; it's merely a library.
Ugh, Tack looks interesting but provides no quick, high-level overview. Do you mind explaining how the initial key bootstrapping happens?
In this case people from indie and major labels. You have to trust me there but it might be even in their terms and conditions. On the web you will also find plenty of artists complaining about that model.

Furthermore you can't just be on Spotify. You need a middleman to be allowed in the labels domain. Like I said, most streaming services are controlled by the labels. Now there are some cheap proxy companies that will publish you on Spotify and sure, you can do that but in the beginning of your journey - which I was referring to - you don't need to bother. It just won't give you anything. Later its surely nice to be there but even then you won't get anything out of it money wise.
JavaScript works identically.
Is there a consumer Windows laptop available at Best Buy or similar that has:

1) a solid state drive and
2) a display with Apple-level pixel density

for substantially less than a Mac? Closest I've gotten is configuring the ThinkPad T430 online up to $930, in which case we're not talking about that much cost savings.

I agree with you that any modern laptop should exceed its pixel density. But take a look at your local Best Buy. Even the 15" displays are usually 1366x768. Some of the most expensive Ultrabooks might be 1080p, but those prices are Apple-level anyway.

I'm between HS and college right now, so people are asking me for laptop recommendations. Most of them oppose Macs because they believe they'd be paying extra just for prestige, and I have a hard time finding them similar quality Windows hardware for any cheaper. Which leads me to conclude that Mac users are not just paying for prestige.

I don't think you can come to any conclusions from these numbers. I see the exact same CPU utilization across browsers if I replicate the styles and write this JavaScript instead:

var loc = document.getElementById("location");

window.addEventListener("mousemove", function(e) {
loc.innerHTML = e.pageX + ", " + e.pageY;
});

Which is saying something, the ClojureScript is doing a lot more work and it ain't slow ;)

I suspect all the cost is from repainting large areas at the speed of mouse movement. But the mouse examples are for illustration - in production code you'll probably want to throttle (which would avoid piling up the repaints you observed on slower machines) as well as address the IE 10 edge case.
You shouldn't feel dirty. From the inside, when you see how far removed HR is from the actual hiring manager, you'll be shocked with how the process actually works.
I'm no expert in PFS in TLS, but there are various key-agreement protocols that allows parties to establish a secure key over an insecure channel.

I believe the way PFS works is that it uses RSA to verify identity and then Diffie-Hellman to establish keys.

If you're only able to passively intercept data (i.e. you can't impersonate the server and MITM) then you're unable to discover what the key established by DH is.

(incidentally nonces are generally only relevant for preventing replay attacks; the nonce doesn't play a part in passive defence)
For many years, I've been considering purchasing one of these:

http://www.entropykey.co.uk/

I honestly don't know why we're using anything other than provable randomness using discrete entropy sources in this day and age.

IIRC, even the Raspberry Pi has an entropy generator on-board. I haven't verified this though.
If I hadn't disabled it... which of the dozens of times it's gotten in my way on a new image? Most recently last week, by the way. I disable it because it prevents correct code from running in an already-secure environment. I don't bother beforehand, because I inevitably forget. And then waste ten minutes before I realize I need to turn off the magic "break everything" switch.

In the last seven days, has the fundamental incompatibility between SELinux's design and traditional Unix permissions and tools been suddenly corrected? Has tooling been created to allow us mere mortal sysadmins and engineers to understand and manipulate the byzantine SELinux configuration?

I didn't think so.
I felt considerably worse, because he takes a very naive view of the legal realm.

Let me expand a bit: I don't think Gabriel is lying/dumb/whatever. However, the statement given essentially comes out to "If we had to, we would fight the good fight and we very strongly believe we would win". I'm all in favor of fighting as hard as you can against broad/illegal/user harmful orders/etc.

But at some point, you will lose, even with the law and moral justice on your side. This is a certainty. Google has lost. Yahoo has lost. Twitter has lost. Microsoft has lost. Contrary to the belief that they are cooperative, they don't want anything to do with anything, and fought with more resources and energy than DDG probably can muster (again, no offense to Gabriel).

Let's ignore for a second whether they have any data to give or not. The point is that at some time in the future you will not just lose temporarily, you will lose in a way that you have to make a choice because yourself/your business/your livelihood and your users privacy.

Believing otherwise makes you naive in my eyes.

> Google Ireland is an Irish corporation. It has US owners, but so do many Irish corps.

Yes, and Google was very much involved in the recent controversy in Britain over taxation of multinationals.

The British are very much aware that they have a tax haven right next door. And they're no happier about it than we are.
Yes I know people from indie labels and as I have stated earlier - there are no true indie labels which surprised me as well when I found out. The successful ones usually belong to another major label.

I don't encourage illegal downloads, quite the opposite. But the labels deserve blame as well as artists who are sitting on their faces, waiting for the labels to figure it out somehow. In the book »Appetite for Self-Destruction« its described pretty extensively how that is unlikely to happen.

To resolve the dilemma we need a revolution, coming from the artists and the consumers and I hope I inspire some people to wake up, use their brain and make things better without the labels.
Oh yes - thank you :)
