How many gates does a chip need if it's basically a single-purpose crypto ASIC? Presuming you can expand the traces out to cover the entire back of the card (no die, just raw PCB), what process size would you need?

I guess, if that doesn't work, we could always just work on an Open Smartcard Microcontroller For FPGA-based Cards. Then the one thing you need to trust is that FPGAs don't have a special backdoor mode for when they somehow detect that the chip they're running is doing crypto ;)

As others have pointed out, chapters 4 and 5 are as wonderful and rich as they are because Scheme is homoiconic which makes writing Scheme interpreters and compilers in Scheme very easy -- no need for hairy lexing and parsing steps. Since (IMHO) these chapters are the best introduction to the study of programming languages and their implementation, it would be a real shame to discard them simply because JavaScript is more widely known and used than Scheme.

It's true that the ideas in the book transcend programming languages, and that the first 3 chapters could probably could be covered in JavaScript with little modification, if a little clumsily. But rewriting the 4th and 5th to include sections on parsing JavaScript would be quite challenging, and furthermore JavaScript does not have as simple semantics as Scheme, so there would be a loss of a great deal of elegance and beauty. The metacircular Scheme interpreter can run itself, which would be harder to do in JavaScript since its core is more rich and Scheme's core: objects, methods and so on complicate it quite a bit.
I tried Luwak coffee last summer in Munduk, a mountain village in north Bali. Honestly: it's nothing special. My girlfriend (a former barista) vetoed it after she saw a caged Luwak, and the huge piles of drying coffee-bean-laden turds that were clearly not the result of gathering. And, obviously, pretty gross.

One space after periods, then give the period-space pair nice-looking kerning in your typeface. Done.
I once ran into an issue where a base class's method's signature changed thus breaking some subclasses. No compiler warning but also no refactoring support either. If you ran tests only on the base class you would be fine. Especially if different people were responsible for the base class and subclasses.... Wonder if Python tools have refactoring support...
Thanks for the comment; I wouldn't have looked at the article otherwise, and it's great, both historically and as an explanation of the problem. The most helpful part is where she simply lists all six possibilities in a table. That makes it clear that since the odds are 2/3 that you originally chose a goat, the odds must be 2/3 that "all the remaining doors" contain the car.

I also like how she suggested that people just run the experiment themselves.
It's not about macros, it's about homoiconicity. I encourage you to read chapters 4 and 5 and think about how sweet.js would help you port those chapters to JS.
I have no interest in "proving" anything to anyone brainless enough enough to make sweeping assertions that categorically deny the very existence of something - without even spending the 30-40 seconds on Google needed to verify the truth of what he's saying. I mean, that's some weapons-grade stupidity right there.

But if you're truly interested in the subject, and are willing to do a very very small amount of work to educate yourself, you can try to guess who I'm thinking of. I'll let you know if you get it right. Bonus points for identifying one key concept this person popularized. It's one that routinely comes up in the conversations about surveillance and social control that are happening all over the place these days, so unless your ignorance is absolute, you should recognize it when you see it.

You must have the key, and know the password. Two factors.
I think this is the paper you're referring to: http://eprint.iacr.org/2013/448.pdf

The only reason they were able to recover the key in a single run is because GPG uses branching in its inner loop, making it trivial to determine the difference in timing between 1 and 0 bits of the key. AES requires no such branching. Attacking AES requires that the attacker try to predict the key, then calculate how long encryption would take if the attacker's guess was correct, then compare that guess to how long it actually took. This means it's not possible to recover the AES key in a single run unless the attacker happened to guess it correctly the first time (which is effectively impossible).

In other words, the paper you cited apparently doesn't build off of Osvik & Tromer at all, except in the sense that they're both cache timing attacks. The paper uses a completely different technique than Osvik & Tromer.

So how is it safe to reuse your AES key? I'm just trying to understand. Since the attacker needs multiple runs to attack AES, then wouldn't the logical defense be to rekey after every encryption?

It seems like you've been saying "it's impossible to defend against a side channel attack." But that doesn't seem to be true in the case of AES, as long as you don't reuse your key. What am I missing?
The UK (and maybe everywhere else?) corporate music people have a lot of very old industry insiders who think music can't be produced without studios (they "provide value," after all), think the internet is a fad, and think all real music should be sold on physical media.
Granted, any program that has to deal with other writers' text has to deal with both possibilities, but two spaces improves accuracy, both for typesetting and for semantic recognition of sentences for other purposes. Even in a document with a mix of two spaces and one space between sentences, a program can settle a case that would otherwise be ambiguous if there are two spaces. The more simplistic (and inaccurate) your single-space sentence determination algorithm is, the more valuable it is to be able to assume (or assign a high weighting that) a two-space separation marks a new sentence.

I know the world will never universally adopt using two spaces, but that doesn't mean they should get away with making spurious typesetting-related arguments and undoing the work of those who use 2 spaces. If a few more people decide that semantic richness is enough reason to start using two spaces, so much the better.
You can get the OpenPGP card with a SIM cut-out and put it in a Gemplus GemPC USB Shell Token v2:

I've been supporting production RedHat and CentOS servers since RH 7 (15 years), and while RHEL 6 is a huge improvement over the bad old days of up2date and RPM dependency hell, RedHat still has a long way to go to catch up to where Debian was 10 years ago. The quality of packages on RH is still piss-poor compared to Debian (regularly missing man pages, broken default configurations, etc), and if it's not in RH core or EPEL, you're pretty much building it from source because finding up to date third party rpms that target the right version of RHEL is nearly impossible. yum is enormously slower than apt (I've clocked it at 10x slower on average on identical hardware), and rickety as crap. You get into dependency deadlocks regularly that require you to remove whole swaths of rpms just to clear out a conflicting dependency. Yum's use of an ancient version of Python mean that supporting modern python applications on RHEL means you're building all your own Python RPMs and installing in non-standard locations, or you end up breaking yum.

At my current job, we pxe install thousands of CentOS compute nodes and never touch yum again. When it's time to update, we build a new kickstart and re-install. That's the only reasonable way to run RHEL/CentOS and not lose your mind.

I have debian systems that are still running dist-upgraded versions of 10 year old installs, and the dpkg database is sane and clean. You can't do that with RHEL.

The unfortunate fact is that, in the enterprise world, people other than system admins make the decision to run RHEL at the expense of sysadmin time and sanity.
That's not what I'm doing here at all.

Happiness/Likeness = Expectation - Reality.

Those who thought it was great probably did not have high expectations. The movie beat them.

You already saw websites saying how great it was, so your expectations were much harder to beat.
> Except that there are almost certainly fewer incidents per capita compared to 1932.

No, not if a reasonable moving average is performed. And per capita modifies the logic in a way that reduces the importance of population, when my point is the size of that population.

Here's a small interval graph that shows an increase per capita since 1960:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States#Crim...

Another graph that shows the same trend:

http://www.utahfoundation.org/img/briefs/2008_08_crime_fig4....

The above graph shows the risk of using too short a sampling interval. If you sample on the interval 1990 to the present, crime appears to have gone down. If you sample from 1960 or any longer intervals to the present, per capita crime has certainly increased.
That's not even "good" or "bad", just "taste". I personally gravitate to dry reds, particularly within a certain price range- too cheap and you can't taste the grapes, too expensive and you can't taste the alcohol- but that doesn't mean whites are "bad".

I think in today's world, not only are corporations/collectives people too, but they have far more rights than actual individuals in every conceivable manner. Regarding the cloak and dagger stuff, there is no real legal justification, and I believe that is why they insist on fighting any actual transparency. Laws today are retroactively rewritten to further protect those guilty. The children are running the candy shoppe.

And as such are calling for a rather profound spanking.
>> "rate" means per capita per year.

>That's by no means the only meaning of "rate".

It is the standard definition when talking about a CRIME rate. Googling "define crime rate" returns things like this:

"the ratio of crimes in an area to the population of that area; expressed per 1000 population per year"
http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=crime%20rate

A "murder rate", being a fair bit smaller, is almost always expressed per 100,000 people per year.

> If the population is increasing without constraint

It isn't. Population growth rates have rapidly declined all over the world. The US population would already be shrinking were it not for immigration. Even Bangladesh and India are currently reproducing at right around replacement levels.

One hypothesis: what if (genuine) civet coffee is so good, because the civets' nose smells out the very best coffee cherries, and only eats the best? Therefore, if it's crapped out the arse of a civet, it was a very good bean.

Given that many animals have a superior sense of smell to humans, this hypothesis seems reasonable - civets could smell out the best coffee, and given the choice, who wouldn't want to eat the best?

If this is the case, then the whole mass-production/feeding-civits-in-cages is absolutely pointless, because it does away with the civets' selection process. Which might explain why some people describe their purchase as watery and bland.
I wonder why anyone would be surprised of this. Nokia builds phones and has an R&D. It just make sense that they try different OS on their own hardware as long as they have the source and can deal with the proprietary drivers needed.
> So where's the impending disaster? I don't see it in any of the relevant metrics.

The impending disaster is in its early stage and is slowed down a bit due to mass immigration of Bangladeshi citizen into neighboring countries and rapid urbanization of India (specially western and southern India) and please check the number of immigrants of bangladesh and hazardous urbanization of India.
In some cases it does. The University of California system has managed to scale up reasonably efficiently, with expenses growing more slowly than enrollment, thereby reducing the per-student cost of education. The result is that there's been an overall cost decrease of around 25% (in real terms) over the past ~40 years, if you take the total UC budget and divide by total enrollment.

The reason tuition (i.e. price charged to students) has gone up, even though the cost of providing the service has gone down, is that state funding has fallen even further than costs, more like 60% [1], so a larger portion of the cost is now charged to the student. For public institutions, at least, it's important to distinguish between the total cost of providing education vs. the amount charged to students, which are numbers that don't always move in the same direction.

Fitting that it was published on September 11th, 2013.

A dozen years after the attacks on the World Trade Centers, it's clear that the terrorists won. The USA cannot be called the "land of the free, home of the brave" anymore. Terrorists know that their tactics work very well, and has made the US vulnerable to even more attacks because of cowardice.

Imagine if the US government had decided _not_ to be terrorized, like the Norwegians did for the 2011 Oslo attacks:

---

And at the political level, the Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg pledged
to do everything to ensure the country's core values were not undermined.

"The Norwegian response to violence is more democracy, more openness and
greater political participation," he said.

A year later it seems the prime minister has kept his word.

There have been no changes to the law to increase the powers of the police
and security services, terrorism legislation remains the same and there
have been no special provisions made for the trial of suspected terrorists.

On the streets of Oslo, CCTV cameras are still a comparatively
rare sight and the police can only carry weapons after getting special
permission.

Even the gate leading to the parliament building in the heart of Oslo
remains open and unguarded.

"It is still easy to get access to parliament and we hope it will stay
that way, " said Lise Christoffersen, a Labour party MP.

She is convinced people do not want laws passed which would curtail
their basic rights and impinge on their privacy despite the relative
ease with which Breivik was able to plan and carry out his attacks.

There is a way back to the way the US used to be, but the answer is not something most people will even consider or listen to.

Before the whole civet-poo coffee thing blew up, a friend got me a pound of the stuff. It was beyond amazing. It had a really creamy quality, without the bitter or acidic qualities. And while it was clearly coffee, it didn't taste like any coffee I'd had before. Like coffee from a not-quite parallel universe, perhaps.

I truly loved the stuff, but I can't imagine getting it again. Due to the insane prices, it's likely to be heavily cut with regular beans. Worse, the limited number of beans that are real are likely to come from abused animals, which, no way. Locking them in cages and force feeding them beans not of their own choosing has clearly ruined both the creatures and the product.

Fucking humans.
