I guess what Linus is implying is that the petition was added without understanding much about how it works. If you are complaining, make sure you understand the details so that you don't waste anybody's time. There are also other forums to raise this question, instead of a petition.

I want Linus to continue being Linus because it works. There may be other ways to run Linux development, but it is too important a project to leave that to chance.
1) Nobody says it is easy. I keep my fingers crossed for this feature.

2) Exactly. I have pointed out this ticket. When do you think it will be available and in which version?

3) Unfortunately, I have not found any document where setting authentication other than IP based is described. I would like to set it through openstack and by hand. Is it possible?

5) Of course it is great that most features do not require any specific OpenStack integration. I just wanted to describe those that need it. It mostly shows what needs to be done in Openstack.
What technology short of hardware FT (which I've worked on BTW) will prevent that? You'll lose plenty of ICMP echo requests before you even realize a migration is necessary, and no storage infrastructure is going to help with that. Why single out one when it's a problem common to all?

Business Insider CTO Forced to Resign Following Twitter Firestorm
If you're willing to believe Linux's PRNG is not biased in any way then you're fine, because anything ^ random -> random. That's the principle behind the one-time pads:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad

Worst case (say, a string of 0s) you don't add any entropy to the pool. But you can't actually remove entropy with a simple xor. Again, that's assuming there are no other weaknesses in the linux PRNG.
Your deliberate misrepresentation of the posts you are replying to is simply dishonest. There is no way for a constructive conversation to come out of that.

Where, exactly, did you find this quote? Because I can't find it in the OP, or the post you are replying to. I'd hate to think you might have pulled a strawman so blatantly out of thin air . . .

Oh, and thanks for demonstrating exactly the points the GP was trying to make.
There's certainly nothing wrong with asking questions in this case - on some older kernel versions, and I believe some current distro kernels, /dev/urandom does return the result of RdRand directly.
Linus was responding to totally unsubstantiated request based on wrong information.

The guy behind /dev/random is Ted Ts'o who has worked as Kerberos V5 project leader is part of security area directorate in IETF and chair of IPSec working group.

As far as I see /dev/random uses the best practices and don't innovate unnecessarily. If somebody is willing to spend time actually vetting the implementation, that would be great.
Very few high schools around the U.S. are teaching personal finance

If public schools are going to promote using public funds for continuing education, it's their responsibility to teach how to use those funds.

The for-profit schools being accused here have no way to not accept those monies. Public agencies advocate public school graduates use public funds for continuing education, but do not teach what not to do with those funds and punish any organization which does not accept those funds. Looks like it's the "public" at fault here.
I really wish the mother would have contacted the teacher, even if her daughter had decided "to plow through."

I'd like to give the teacher the benefit of the doubt and assume that he didn't knowingly let a student endure a semester of harassment. He probably didn't see or recognize the issue.

Open communication from the mother could have helped the teacher recognize the problem and deal with it.
I haven't touched video games in years, but I did spend time playing Delta Force in the 90s. Voxels were a perfect fit for the 300+ meter military engagements DF1 was attempting to model. I tried one of the latter entries in the series after they "upgraded" to a standard 3D engine and the sense of space was lost.

I can recall when Ultima 9 was originally conceived it was anticipated to be isometric 3D RPG. Here is a screenshot http://i.imgur.com/MGDSXYP.jp . Voxels would seem to be a great fit for such an engine.
There are multiple special-purpose security instructions; AESENC, for instance, or even PCLMULQDQ, which was added to speed up GCM. Which ones should we keep and which ones should we jettison?
NIST reopens public comment period after concerns about NSA
A cloud is not defined by high availability. Just look at Amazon's cloud - so many single points of failure. Amazon says to distribute your application and redundancy across multiple redundancy zones.

Cloud is defined as:

1. On demand automated provisioning
2. API interface for programatic control
3. Infinite resources from the customer's perspective
4. Virtual addresses for physical location
5. Utility measured service

This is the definition from NIST : http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-145/SP800-145...

So in that context DigitalOcean and Amazon are both Cloud providers.
Why is he being an a-hole? There are times to be civil, and times to be blunt. The original petition disparagingly calls Linux "a NSA approved partner", and boldly claims that removing a feature from the kernel would improve security when it wouldn't. The answer Linus gives is, in this case, quite fitting.
Respectfully, if you can't read the code, you're not really entitled to have opinions about it. Instead, try asking people you trust who can read code what they think.
Here's an idea for one of those "We The People" petitions: split up the NSA's COMSEC and SIGINT/MASINT divisions into two-or-more agencies. The COMSEC one can keep being the "National Security Agency"; the SIGINT one can be the "Central Signals Agency" or something[1]. Now add a law stating that:

- the CSA can't do any SIGINT that works at cross-purposes to the NSA's mission (e.g. putting backdoors in crypto libraries so widely-used that government secrets are likely riding over lines relying on those libraries somewhere), and that

- any time the CSA discovers a problem with crypto the NSA relies on, they have to immediately communicate that fact to the NSA, and that communication has to go through public channels.

With that in place, I'd feel safe (in fact, safer than ever before) trusting the NSA's crypto. They'd have one pure incentive-structure: good crypto for securing gov/mil communications; and the CSA, though wreaking havoc everywhere else, would be locked out of hindering them in it.

For those with the wherewithal to run their own server both in terms of hardware and software along with secure backup policies. The likelihood of be compromised through missing a security patch or poor configuration is almost certainly massively higher than anything like this.

But then where do you get the software for said server? Or your mobile client? We're back to the age old question of how do you trust the compiler? How do you trust the source code?

There's a reason that Governments that take security seriously have their own, private, WAN infrastructure that has gateway upon gateway before it reaches the internet, if it ever does.
That is correct, it's not bound by tenant.

Most other providers do not restrict private network either, I'm talking about the big ones like RackSpace, Amazon and others.

What you're talking about is dedicated private VLAN's or private subnet's and that is not common especially in a cloud environment.

One issue has nothing to do with the other. Why is it when some minority group (in this context women) tries to address the causes of their underrepresentation there are always people that responds with some version of: "you already have it soooo good why can't you just be happy". I see this same pattern when it comes to issues regarding race/gender/sex orientation. Nothing less than full equality will ever be acceptable.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those people that sees that female representation in tech isn't 50% therefore men must be at fault. But here is a clear example of horrible sex discrimination and here you come trotting out the "get over it--you already have it good" arguments.
Not saying he is wrong, but almost any pattern can be traced if the lower and upper bounds are picked carefully. For those interested in trading with technicals: how can you know where in the cycle the equity stands?

Apple's Key To Innovation: Iterations, Not Just Breakthroughs
Well said.

Who here has never been someplace and felt like they didn't belong? Maybe you were the only person of your ethnicity at some event and you stuck out like a sore thumb. Maybe everyone had their inside jokes and familiarities you didn't know about. Maybe occasionally, people made in unambiguously clear that you weren't welcome, by being cold or outright hostile. This is what it feels like for many women in the tech world.

I really feel like this comes down not so much to an inability to comprehend and empathize, but more so to a vested interest of deniers in the status quo. More outsiders means people on the inside have to let go of their insularity, and moreover, compete with an influx of people who bring in diverse skillsets and viewpoints. Our supposedly meritocratic software world is actually anything but. I believe Chris Hayes nails it with his Iron Law of Meritocracy, summarized here [1].

That's definitely true, but it's not a like a fly-by-night social network that won't retain any users. They got users because of a specific service that seems very valuable in certain cases and the virality was relevant to their service. So even if conversion to paid customer was low, it's still a pretty big funnel compared to a startup offering something similar and grinding it out to get a top-line funnel of 500 signups.

The question is "what's the consumer -- and thus larger macroeconomic -- impact?" The impact is that if you "bought" your education at the "high time," you lost nothing. What were you supposed to do? Wait until the bubble burst and hope to "cash in" on a cheaper education?

Student loans are so cheap that the marginal impact of such a burst really only stands to impact greater lifetime earning potential of two distinct groups of the population: pre-poppers and post.

While that's unfortunate for the pre's, it's hardly comparable to the economic divide that has grown between the educated and uneducated classes.
A blind assertion? He told you which file to read in the sources. I suppose that if you say that randomization in Linux is broken reading a single .c file should'nt be a problem, and it would give all the evidence you will ever need.

Never, but seriously as soon as I hear typical combinations of the words white male cis privilege I instantly write off the person using it as hopelessly deluded. These are dog whistles for social justice warrior ideologies and everything they imply.

Use "different perspective" if that's what you're trying to put across, and if it's not and you really believe the whole privilege meme as something more than that, that's exactly why I write you off.

Either way it means either you couldn't be bothered to figure out an effective way to convey a simple core idea without being horrendously offensive, or you actually don't have a clue what you are talking about.

This article was mostly excellent because it primarily avoided the classic persecution complexes that are almost par for the course in such things, to have the top comment here raving about privilege does the article an enormous disservice.
Chill out ! I never said it doesn't work for ANYONE. We actually got introduced to MoPub by Daniel from Mag Interactive (the folks behind Ruzzle) and they were very happy about it. They have millions of users and as you said, they can negotiate better terms with some advertisers and make some revenue.

For us (and we're not that small...> 400.000 downloads) it's not significant. And we are more popular than the majority of apps on the App Store.

Have you developed a mobile app that makes a lot of revenue ?
The one that bugs me is people who describe themselves as just 'consultant'. I've met two of the following.

Yes, a consultant, but what kind? 'I'm a consultant' Yes, but what do people consult you for? 'For when they need consulting' Yes, but about what? Are you a medical consultant, a security consultant, a civil engineer, a financial consultant, legal, something else? [puzzled look] "I'm - a - consultant."

Boring conversation anyway...
hmm... are we still in hacker news?
If the data is being supplied by an attacker that knows what it's being XORed with, which in this case it is, they can completely and undetectably control the output of the RNG that way - they simply have to XOR the output they want with the other data and return that, and then the two XORs will cancel out. (It's undetectable because so long as the output of the hardware RNG looks random, it'll still look just as random after XORing it with anything else.)
Leaving PUT out might be a mistake. The rationale from the slide deck is sound but the framework neglects the case in which you are creating a resource with a known identifier. The POST verb is good for when you don't know the identifier, and want to leave it up to the handler to generate one for you. You could just define the same semantics for POST as for PUT, but that breaks the spec in that a resource created by POST should be subordinate to the requested resource.
Well, may be the RdRand hardware has microcode reading the memory and inferring the PRNG state. Then what?

Like people has already said, if the silicon is compromised, you are sold.
As with everything else in life, it depends. If you want to build 3D games, then by all means, use Unity (or equivalent). But if you want to build 2D games, I think that GameMaker does a good job (I know you can do 2D games with Unity, but still).
I remember using GameMaker 5/6/7 and it was very slow. Is that still the case?
It is a straightforward strawman. Nowhere to I state or even hint that I consider women to be somehow more delicate or otherwise inferior to men. The point I'm making is that what women experience in this industry is vastly different from what men experience, and far too many men still refuse to acknowledge this (or indeed, actively defend and perpetuate it).
I'd definitely prefer the forest to Buffalo, but point made. :)
That's a very high expectation of teachers, full stop. What are they supposed to do? They only have influence over these people for an hour a day, which is the time they are supposed to be teaching the subject.
If it happened frequently enough, sure.

I went to a high school where the two calculus teachers were both female. I also went to a math PhD program where a professor -- specifically George Mackey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Mackey -- wondered openly as to whether women could do top-level mathematics. In fairness to him, the women in that era were still few and below average, and one even had the temerity to whine about discrimination when the real problem was that she wasn't particularly smart or hardworking.

Moral: Even if you don't see bigotry in YOUR part of a group, don't assume it isn't common elsewhere.
> Or maybe they just don't waste - or admit to - their resources for such low profile targets?

Bingo, it's all about cost-effectiveness. The NSA likely has a large variety of SSL certificate keys and other keys for decrypting things, and the continuing usage of them depends on their perceived security.

They can use all of their decryption keys to read everything and provide it as evidence to the courts, but it'll tip the world off that some keys aren't secure and the NSA's targets would defend themselves accordingly.

It's a catch-22 -- they need to use decryption keys for gathering evidence for convictions, but there is such a thing as using too many. They're a resource that takes longer to build up than CPU/storage/memory/network IO.
I spent a year as a high school computer science teacher back when the AP exam was in C++ and I had one young woman in my classroom. The OP's comments are reasonable as a parent, but like many she doesn't properly comprehend the difficulties encountered by a modern day teacher.

When I was teaching class, I had to contend with numerous learning obstacles and then had to leave after class for my other full-time programming job. The idea that I could preempt kids from saying a comment is something only a parent could believe. In the minds of high school students, policies were made to be tested.

The OP further wants to make young women into white elephants by reminding them how rare they are on the first day of class. I had a far more interesting and engaging introduction to algorithms on the first day of my class using paper airplane folding instructions as an example of how literally computers interpreted your instructions. The students loved it.

The one salient point of the piece was the fact the teacher did not respond properly after the harassment occurred. We can all agree on that.
There actually are shorter-form therapies derived from psychoanalysis that do have manuals, and studies purporting to show their effectiveness. The point wasn't that these therapies are all that great - they probably aren't - but that measuring psychotherapy is a methodological ball of tar and prone to confirmation bias.

(2) It'll automatically be in 3.5 approximately the end of this year. It will probably also be backported into the next 3.4.x, but I can't comment on schedules either for that or for the "downstream" Red Hat Storage releases.

(3) I don't know of any such instructions off the top of my head. Basically you'll have to edit /etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol and add by hand the same auth options that are available for volumes via the CLI. I think there are (possibly hidden) CLI options that you'd need to specify username/password to work with that. If you try it and things aren't seeming fairly obvious, feel free to ping me via email (jdarcy@myemployer.com) or Freenode IRC.
It might be worth noting that in the tutorial. While this has a lot of great benefits for people that move a lot of data around between their servers, it doesn't really improve security at all.

> RabbitMQ wouldn't satisfy the latency requirements?

From the comments at the bottom of the article:

> I think it would depend on one's use case and requirements, but Redis is generally faster than RabbitMQ since it avoids the heavier AMQP protocol overhead and internal (data structure, etc.) implementation (C vs Erlang) and we are using unix sockets to communicate with it (locally) but then it's not as reliable as RabbitMQ.

In our case it is more important to process a HTTP request as fast as possible, while the processing, propagation and storage of request data for analytics could be slow but has to be reliable therefore we chose the Lua->Redis->agentredrabbit->RabbitMQ model.

-------

Personally I wouldn't think it would be an issue, elsewhere he mentions: "we aim for less than 40ms" I can't imagine enqueuing a (seemingly) small message in rabbitMQ takes more than 1 or 2 ms.

> but objectively you can't identify which students won't do the work - ergo, you can't discriminate who to enroll

I'm calling complete bullshit on this one: isn't that the very definition of admissions? Even if you claim it's not, I think that if you look at any student's previous grades / work experience / references, you can quite reliably determine who will do the work and who will not.

These schools simply don't want to: they want to admit everybody so they can take their money in exchange for basically nothing. I would fully support legislation to bar for-profit institutions from receiving any federal tuition aid (whether loans or grants).

> public money[1] should not be involved. The school management can't say "no" to it

This is false: schools are not required to accept federal loans.[1]
