and:
TLS session ticket lifetime hint: 100800 (seconds)
(session keys are discarded by the client every 1d4h, so presumably the server rotates them every 24 hours or so (4hrs to allow for clock skew, I assume, or to allow for the fact that people might be slightly late on something they check every 24 hours (eg when the wake up each morning)))

Nobody is going to make the change from 1024 bit keys to something else without first verifying that the new bit length is "secure enough" for a reasonable enough time (if nothing else, you don't want to have to go through the expense of the process of getting everything upgraded more often than you have to). Although you're right, it would be nice if they published their reasoning.

I don't know how to verify the security of hangouts. Looking at the webrtc standard, it doesn't appear to support encryption. There is also a lot of opposition to standardising encryption for webRTC because of "DRM" concerns. So I guess it's probably not encrypted, but don't quote me on that.

This is obviously an extreme example, but it's valid nonetheless. nazi germany had to build the database (thanks IBM) they needed, a future nazi, fascists or the like government wouldn't have to, those databases already exists in much more details nazi germany would have dreamed of (facebook seems to know you're gay before you do or your family does [1]).

But this nazi example is one everybody can relate to because we're all familiar with it. But if this is too strong we could go a bit further in history and talked about richelieu "If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged." and the current state of us law [2].

And the fact that logic takes so long to synthesize and simulate really has little to do with Verilog's deficiencies; if anything it's a limitation of the register-transfer level abstraction that's currently used to design digital hardware.

If that's the case, then why are Chisel and bluespec much faster to simulate despite having less investment in tooling?
There is nothing wrong in finding inspiration in someone else who is better than you, to help build a better version of yourself. There is a subtle nuance between this and feeling jealous or envious.

The main reason why I used the verb 'compare', is because we are taught to think in terms of adversity/competition when it comes to learning in almost any field. I strongly believe that learning should only be about learning. And it turns out that if you learn the right things and if you work hard, for the sake of being good at something, then you will likely be highly ranked. But that should not be the goal.
I have used escrow.com several times (to buy domains - I have never sold one, so I do not know the other side) - they understand domains very well. Very small fee and they only transfer the money when the domain is transferred. Highly recommend them.

I still have that system up today, but if someone came along and offered me $1,000,000 dollars for the domain(dontrush.me) I'd give up that domain with no regrets and just buy some other one. I didn't buy it as part of some ingenious marketing strategy, I just thought it was kinda cute and was surprised it wasn't taken already - though this was like the first day .me TLD was made available when I got it.

> In what way does brand positioning advance the human condition or actually improve the world?

Assuming you are actually interested and not trolling: properly positioning a brand before a global audience makes the world smaller, and can bring people closer. Say you are visiting a foreign country. You might feel lost, nobody speaks your language, you are walking around kind of taking it all in.

Being confronted with a brand from home can reduce some anxiety. It's an anchor point, and anchors are safe. If you're hungry, you can walk into a McDonald's and point to things you know will feed you. Leaving nutritional value out of the conversation, the brand value is positive. The same goes for all consumer goods. Brand recognition reduces stress, and allows people to see the entire globe as a village. As this beings people together, I see that as a positive.

Stop this "do you have evidence" lark. We are not talking scientific review or non US court here.

Chip vendors often give you a way to instantiate on chip hardware (memories, latches, etc).

I found the path of least resistance (and highest performance) was to figure out what circuit I wanted, then basically use Verilog to wire these primitives together to make it. By causing verilog to use an actual memory block, rather than a stack of flipflops, you would yield a nice performance increase also.

The trouble is that doing that isn't vendor neutral, and the whole approach probably wouldn't be any good if you were targeting ASIC. It was just 'alright at college'.

In 'real' pro verilog development, do people do this?

> Many of the problems in healthcare involve two systems that need data from each other.

This. From my limited experience, even with all the systems able to talk HL7, apparently what message segments the system sends, the message segments the system reads etc. are different from system to system. The result is entire subsystems or heavy customizations for redirection, massaging, and transformation of messages. Something to think about systems integration.

Another approach is to buy subsystems from as few vendors as possible (naturally subsystems from one vendor would all talk among themselves very nicely) - but that is obviously not without any repercussions.

I don't know that I have favorites. That said, Radix sort is kinda cool. It's O(n * k), where k is the number of digits in the number, but it's possible to have k be a constant if there is a limit (like an int can only be so big) meaning you can have an O(n) sort.
Remember in Obama's first term, the GOP strategy was strict opposition. But now Obama's positions on present issues make strict opposition more difficult because he is, on face value, supporting many GOP policies.

There seems to be a bit of "don't throw me in the briar patch" mixed in with a dash of "gaffes" and "blunders". This surreal stew may be designed to complicate the GOP's public policy opposition strategy.

I would be willing to bet the hospital you work at is paying several million a year for their EMR and all sorts of smaller contracts that probably nobody knows about. One of those contracts probably supports the integration you are looking to do and has not been configured yet because it has not went high up enough the food chain. I think you are better off asking contacting the IT department of the hospital and have them log a ticket to the EMR provider (probably Cerner or Epic) and have them look at it before getting too invested.

I tend to think of fMRI based neuroscience as analogous to trying to reverse-engineer how a computer works by measuring the electric fields it generates. A lot could be learned, but only to a degree. Except that there was no evolutionary pressure for understandability on the brain, so it's quite probably a convoluted kludge. This complexity cuts across levels of abstraction, with interplay between the genetic, neural and environmental levels. I suspect the entire thing is too complex for us to understand -- without better mathematical and computational tools. Anti-depressants work for some cases for some reasons, but we might need some paradigm leap to eventually understand why.

The current hypothesis of neurotransmitter imbalance always sounded childish to me. A bit like trying to fix a software bug by improving the conductivity of the circuits, or something like that.
Recent revelations clearly indicate that the latter is merely secondary to the former, so I don't think this is a hard question at all.

FWIW, I grew up in a third world country, waking up everyday fearing that I or someone I care about will die in a bomb attack (search for Algerian Civil War: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algerian_Civil_War) and having all sort of daily issues (no water for a week, no electricity for days, etc.), and I can tell you this for sure: this didn't prevent us from wanting a life that's above average, from pursuing happiness and from questioning whether we loved what we were doing or not.

Also, I am not sure where you are reading that you should be solitary or not have any family.

I started my career making medical devices talk with PCs back in the 80s. Sounds like not much has really changed. Usually these machines have a serial protocol or in newer machines, a webserver and API that can be used to get data in a better format. You are lucky when you get good documentation. Sometimes, the vendor sells PC software as an add on and doesn't want competition.

This problem is probably a goldmine if a decent middleware could be written that grabs data from the device, transforms it to a standard format, and then loads it to EHR/EMR/HCM whatever software the hospital is using.

Difficulties faced by entrepreneurs and ways to overcome them
No it shouldn't. NSA has more than one goal. Their goal is to secure USG communication and to break everyone else's.

While an argument that in the recent years the pendulum has gone way out into subverting is valid this has not always been the case. They just cannot make USG secure without giving some of that security to everyone. And they cannot weaken everyone's security without endangering themselves.

Of course for now US doesn't have global adversary (that they know of). But with the world moving from sole superpower towards multiple power center this may not be the case for long. And then it will swing in the other direction again.

Just wait for an real cyber attack through one of their backdoors to happen and then you will have them working full steam ahead towards security.

Btw - one of the other things about the extremely potent NSA that are not mentioned at all - if you are a smart adversary then you should just infiltrate NSA and let them do the heavy lifting and have the needed information for the cheap.

I'm currently chewing on ideas from "Lean Startup". It suggest to try and validate your idea before even building a product, for example with a interactive prototype.

Fertilizer would appear to be the logical solution. Compost a giant pile of them for six months and apply to fields.

Also let them rot into methane and burn the methane (probably combined with option 1 above).

You can't make a decent compost with pure 100% jellyfish, but added to another waste deficient in different nutrients, it might add up.

The article didn't discuss weaponization of jellyfish, which is the most likely funding source. Shutting down a regions desal and power plants by releasing a short lived poorly adapted jelly is a lot less visually impressive than a bombing campaign, but probably a lot cheaper. Or rather than the animals themselves, dump food for them, perhaps.

However doctor's compensation is measured in a variety of ways depending on the hospital. Some doctors might get paid hourly or by a fuzzier metric of how much time a procedure takes, so they may not want to use this type of system. Similarly, hospitals might be able to bump up the procedure if it takes more time (ie is more involved). For example, a doctor who has to review charts and do some data entry might be able to raise a standard level II checkup to a level III one because they had to do more work. (checkup names are made up, but you get the idea)
> Then why let users choose a password at all? Why not just assign them one that they have to write down?

Because then anyone who reads what is written down gains full access to the user's data. A password (kept in human memory) plus passphrase (written down) is more secure. I would agree this comes at the cost of convenience, but I think the trade-off is worth it.

> Why not generate a 20 character random string?

Because it would be a real pain to type each time the user logs in. In this case I don't think the security/convenience trade-off is worth it.

> As Colin points out in the top comment, hashing with scrypt will make even mediocre passwords uncrackable.

True, but what percentage of users choose poor passwords - not mediocre ones? Scrypt will not be much good if the user chooses a password from the dictionary, or a word that appears in a list of the top 10,000 most common passwords. (Edit: According to Mark Burnett [2] such passwords are chosen by 99.8% of users)

> And high-speed cracking is only a problem if the bad guys get your password table.

The password + passphrase model also protects users who choose the same password for different online systems. A weakness in some other website (or something more evil [1]) will not compromise the security of my online system.

Edit: Low-speed cracking might also be a problem. Mark Burnett says 14% of users have a password from the top 10 password list [2].

These days, software rots faster then hardware

But my recent hardware purchases weren't because of the hardware. But because of the software. How crazy is that?
