On top of that, increasing encryption definitely helps for mass surveillance - it's impractical to break all the keys for all the messages all the time.

Maybe they will still be able to spy on a select few individuals (just like they can order a locksmith to open a safe, or just blowtorch through).
But then again, there are much cheaper and old school ways to spy on a select few individuals
In general I agree, but I think encryption is still also an answer. You "simply" need to reduce the number of people you trust in, i.e. don't use Skype, write your own chat program.

Doesn't steganography mitigate this issue if used properly?

They need to do more international media events, interviews, articles - highlight the fact that you can reserve your very own "Formula 1" phone, plenty of non-techies will be interested by that, specifically the market with the most money who are likely to want the latest, unique, luxury item. If they were doing a TV interview on, say, Bloomberg Business about the uniquely absurd crowdfunding model and bespoke high-end possibility they would likely see another spike in sales.

One worrying thing about more encryption is that there is a sudden flurry of more bad encryption. Many products are trivially easy to break. (If I can break them any idiot can break them.)

The combinations[1] mean that many people are not protected, and do not know that they are not protected.

You might think such a scheme is "requisite", but the fact remains that there is insufficient incentive for the ISPs to do them, and they plainly don't do them, as my cited example shows.

You can assign blame however you like, but it won't help your IPv6 customers/users to reach your servers.

Yup, famous for being pretty much the first range of affordable SSDs that didn't suck.

The year before you'd be lucky to get more than double digit random writes/sec with anything. One OCZ I tried around that time couldn't even get past one digit - it managed something like 6 writes/second. Then the X-25M/E, came out and suddenly we get tens of thousands.

I think it would've been successful at $600, for whatever storage they wanted to give at that price. But they're being very stubborn about it having 128 GB, no matter the cost (which is a quite high $830). And I think they've done a very poor job explaining why you need to get a phone with 128 GB of storage, too. They need to really "sell" that feature, so people think the price for the phone is worth it.

This story finally pushed me to creating an account.

As far as I understand, the approach outlined in the exchange's MAD option requires the exchange to prove that they have destroyed the funds.

I assume that the exchange creates a new bitcoin address for each transaction. If the transaction ever reaches an unresolved dispute, it would be possible for the site owners to simply move that single address to their "long-term retirement fund^W^W backup system", instead of simply deleting it. At that point, if the system ever shuts down, the owners can then simply move (in reality: shuffle) all the supposedly destroyed funds to their own accounts.

Apparently one can send bitcoins to any address, and an existing address becomes public only when it is used in a transaction. So the fund destruction can't just be a transaction to a so far unknown address - that would, again, allow the site owners to use their own addresses for the purpose.

After thinking this through a bit, it seems to me that the only way to really prove that the funds are destroyed would be to send them to an all-zero address. While thinking about this, a friend came up with the idea of spending the destroyed funds exclusively on transaction fees. I don't know why, but I have a weird feeling that could still be subject to gaming the system somehow.

A fascinating idea for a service, nonetheless.
Given that the rate of funding is well observed to decrease over time, hitting the median line this early on (and especially at such an angle as it has) is a disaster for the prospects of hitting the target.
I think the take-away from this article is that the political/legal environment is part of implementation detail you need to consider when considering a "private" communication mechanism.

No crypto-system is truly secure unless BOTH sides can be trusted. If either one is even remotely possible to compromise, then that will happen. In the case where one of those parties is well-known and has something to lose, you can be certain that the powers-that-be will focus their attention on that party. (nb: Skype)

SO yeah, crypto en masse will make casual collection harder, but it's not even halfway towards what is needed. There has to be an awareness of the downside to reduced privacy that can be tangibly grasped by the populace otherwise we're all pissing in the wind. Any crypto-system that requires anything approaching trade-craft on the part of the user is probably going to fail miserably.

I was fresh out of the military when the USG was proposing the widespread deployment of the "Clipper" chip that included key-escrow as a fundamental feature for LEA access to keys. That failed, but I would not be surprised to hear that we got it anyway through quiet "arrangements" with major crypto-system equipment/software providers.

Have YOU inspected your CPU/Firmware/OS/Applications for backdoors? Even with the full source code?

It's a hard problem and requires a lot more than just neat technology to solve. In fact, it probably can't be solved with technology at all.

I really don't know what your example shows, because I don't read Swedish, and the Google translate version is predictably mangled and difficult to parse. To the extent it says anything, it's very vague and seems to recount a single, unique incident. This and your apparent inability to provide case studies in English leads me to the belief that the problem is rare.

I'll also add that I've been in the employ of a company that does business exclusively in Asia for years. We've as yet not encountered this problem.

For one thing, Forth is the machine code for the chips he designs. Moreover, in his various iterations of his systems on the x86, he was never afraid to insert hex codes in his source when he needed too, typically in order to implement his primitives, because he judged that an assembler was unnecessary. At one point he tried to build a system in which he coded in something rather close to object code. This system led him to his colorForth, in which you actually edit the object code with a specialized editor that makes it look like you're editing normal source code.

Forth does absolutely not share the ability to describe both high and low level equally well. Heck, Moore even rejects the idea of "levels" of programming.

You haven't addressed any of inclinedPlane's criticism of Brett's talk. Rather your entire comment seems to be variations on "There are people who irrationally dislike new technology."
Previous projects had a peak at the start and the end - more like an inverted-U of activity. That all said, although the regression is probably not useful, the graph definitely helps indicate how much work is ahead of them. They've done a huge amount already (I believe they've broken some records already?) and to be so far off just indicates how crazy the target was. They're probably going to raise more than any other crowd-funded project, but it's a ways a way off.
Because I would like to know about scalability issues?

Perhaps in these two years their userbase and the number files saved every 15 minutes might have grown by, say 5x and 50x, revealing problems that were not visible in 2011, leading them to modify the system from what is mentioned in the article?
I think they tried starting a company, not a charity.

For something that _costs_ money of each user, every user is a user too many. You need customers, and I don't think they had any (the service seems to have been free)

But guess what, people actually do use printers.

On top of that, I am doing my case here for "business use". If you are targeting business, you have to look at Power Point, not MS Word. Most of the business rules, presentations, information, are in a .ppt. Guess why. People like graphs and images to convey information, they prefer 1 line of text and 1 image instead than a dense paragraph.

And the good thing is that there is something super tested that is already great at that... the browser! Also, html, css and friends are a good open, tested, vetted, format! Why do we keep reinventing the wheel? Why don't look at making great use of web technologies?

What you want is a good alternative to Power Point, with presentations that run into a browser and that can be easily saved as a .pdf. That's it. That's a great product.
I volunteered at a homeless shelter for a few weeks. Totally changed my outlook on life. I am much slower to judge, I am very careful not to waste and moan a lot less. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Yes, my buttons were pushed, and yes, due to past experience - I did announce I was bullied, didn't I? But don't worry, I've done the mindfullness thing, and it indeed helps in most situations.

But it also illustrates my point: it took me almost a decade of simply not being bullied and recovering in caring surroundings (fellow nerds with similar interests I met in college) before I was ready for these type of techniques.

To use an analogy to physical harm: saying a bullied person needs to have a thicker skin is the same as saying to "walk it off" when you have a broken leg - yeah, walking is important to get the leg working properly again, and strengthening it against future damage, but only once it's been healed somewhat. You can't start physical rehab earlier than that.
In this app we're doing a lot of serializing and deserializing of large JSON objects (using Jackson in Java and Json4S-Jackson in Scala), which is the main performance bottleneck.
Of course it does, but not necessarily a publicly-routable one. Dual-stack is necessary because otherwise the IPv4 application literally won't run at all. How the packets actually traverse the public internet is a different matter addressed by things like NAT, proxies, or tunnels.

This article got me thinking - I use quite a lot of C/C++ python extensions, and I'm wondering if I could wrap some of my malloc calls (particularly the ones that store an "inner C++ object" on a python class) as python byte strings that are then pointer-cast to RAM for C++ to use, and then tidied up by the garbage collector rather than a manual delete call later.

The only difficulty I can see is persuading the C++ constructor to run on an arbitrary address?
I didn't back them for two reasons. The first is that the hardware will be late. Not their fault, but rather that hardware is always late. The hardware shouldn't be compared against what is on the market now, and not even on the purported release date, but rather a few months after that. I suspect it won't be that extraordinary.

The second is that Ubuntu have deliberately alienated me as a user. They are under no obligation to do any different - actions they have taken have been a different direction than suits me. The phone is ultimately not for a free(dom) software community, Linux community or collaborated UI community device - it is a Canonical/Ubuntu (Unity) one. In the AMA "So in this first generation Edge, no, we didn't look for open hardware specifically"

Examples of where they have gone different directions: keeping upstart versus systemd, not trying to play nice with Gnome 3, CLA, Amazon on by default, bzr, launchpad, a general preference towards writing new code versus fixing the many issues languishing in the bug tracker etc. They did do good stuff with trying to make a community, fresh software packages, PPAs etc.

If Fedora, Arch, Gentoo, SuSe, Mandrake etc users had a reason to buy the phone I'd bet it would be a lot more successful.

I've spent some time around people with anorexia nervosa.

In my opinion (with no science to support me) it is easy to 'give yourself anorexia' by starving yourself and making use of thinspo materials.

Although there have been campaigns to remove the worst thinspo material from popular sites it's still easily available.

As other people say, the re-feeding is also tricky and dangerous. So, while going hungry is probably okay for most people please be careful and get help early if you think it's becoming a problem.

When adjusted for other factors anorexia has the highest mortality rate of the mental illnesses, killing something like 20% of sufferers. (Although that number is a bit old now.)

What makes more sense (and that I've done myself) is to print out a part for some expensive appliance where the parts are either extremely expensive or just not available at all. For instance, a $1000 automatic espresso maker can have lots of moving plastic parts, and the rest of the machine might be in perfect working order save for that one broken part. And when you've made the replacement part it's easy to print another one, and share it with others.

Or another example (from some years ago), just to get one replacement part for my perfectly fine shower cabinet, I had to buy a complete set of plastic mounts, to the price of $160.

I make a point to do no work in the evenings after work and if I do decide I want to work on something I set myself a condition that if I don't produce anything good in an hour then have to stop.

Then at the weekends I have Saturday as my 'work on personal projects' day and Sunday as my relax, play games, go out and use no technology day (netflix, consoles and google being the exception!).

Forcing myself not to work evenings and Sundays I find myself that much more motivated when I can work so I get more done in the smaller amounts of time.

I've not been doing it long but already I'm feeling this urge to sit down and do some good work!
