Right, which is why you just answer with "we do not have that facility." Turn over your billing records and other material you do have, but don't turn over anything you don't have, and be unfailingly polite, prompt, and not a dick.

It was kind of game over once the search warrant for key came in, unless the keys were in an HSM. As long as you can prevent the search warrant from being issued, a regular pen register isn't going to be terribly onerous if it doesn't produce useful data due to everything being encrypted. If you don't have a system to do user logging, you can honestly respond "we do not have records of messages sent through our system". I don't know if they can even require you to turn logging on if it's not already on in that case; they could get a warrant for your whole system, possibly, but that's a much higher legal bar, and "fine, it's in fedex billed to USG account" might be a reasonable answer there.

And also... C64 programs. They were manually typed in by 10 year old kids. The programs were printed in the computer magazines (early 80s) that dealt specifically with C64's. These programs were far more than 2560 characters (in some cases).

If young, interested kids can do it, I'd hope that a nation state could figure it out.

But I don't see how your explanation is compatible with their claim that found a neat structure like a "doubly even self-dual linear" ECC. If their claim is that all transitions maintain that structure, then you are guaranteed to stay inside the structure no matter how long you wander around the graph.
The casual thief case is trivial. Surely, clef's goal includes protection against a somewhat more sophisticated adversary who is targeting you, specifically.

Someone gets some malware on to the phone and gets the run of it. Records the pin, later steals the phone, or is able to replicate the entire device.

This could be guarded against if the pin changed every time and was delivered through an independent channel, which is what 2FA if all about. A complete, undetected compromise of a single device or a single information channel should not be able to defeat 2FA. That doesn't appear to be the case here.

The historic velocity is so much faster then any other company that I expect corrections on a weekly basis. Stock trading is often emotional like a poker player that goes on-tilt.

Try Rhode Island. It's a fantastic microcosm for startups. The state has just about every sort of infrastructure represented there within arms reach. When you succeed or fail, you know quickly. For the past 26 years the City of Providence has been turning itself into a great incubator for artistic ventures, and as such, IT, Engineering, Software startups do well here.

But of course, if you're not a person versed in running a company, you're gonna have a bad time. I watched the whole "38 Studios" fiasco take off, crash, and burn(in that order). They got caught up in the parties and amazing restaurant culture in Providence. It seems they may have spent more on team outings than some people make in a year while making no profit.

On the flipside, a very talented friend of mine started a graphic design company a few years back. They've grown exponentially and rapidly. Right now they're doing a very respectable trade in services and having a great time at it.
Ping me if you wish to discuss further. Cost of living is far lower in Providence than in Boston. And the support structure extends to Boston. The whole state is technically “walking distance”.
I'm sure there is always due diligence since the people pitching can always lie about purchase orders and the like. Sometimes a shark will even explicitly mention that the deal is contingent on something else coming through.

I've watched both and for some reason I find Shark Tank much better. I'm not sure if it's production or just that spark for reality TV that seems to be perfected in America. The personalities of the sharks probably has something to do with it, or the mix since both Robert and Kevin are also on Dragon's Den.
That should also give it depth perception for recognizing objects that it photographs. That appears to support the subsidized revenue model of the device.

Yes, Tesla is a car. Never heard of any other car companies losing such a massive amount market capital due to one accident...hell, even the passengers were safe AND the fire was contained to the battery bay. I've seen cars that burn to the ground despite the firewall.

If anything, I have a more positive look on Tesla's now than I did before.
Considering that Prolexic isn't exactly keeping Github up, not really!
Yeah that's true, but it sounds like this Intel SoC could be made into something substantially more powerful than an Arduino. I can't tell if it's the Galileo (which is the Arduino compatible board) or the Quark SoC dev board, but there's mention of PCI express, 10/100 ethernet, USB, UART and RS232.

The PCI express means you could rig up your own video card. Yeah it'd probably be PCI express x1 (not x16 like you'd like) but that would still give you the ability to run a card which can drive more than one monitor. That is something the BBB or RPi can't do.
Guy recognized it's a Tesla ... that's probably more of a positive than not. That video wouldn't really show how slow the fire actually likely started.
Yes, Li-ion batteries can be like little bombs. Considering the batter was engulfed in a flame and safely contained...I'm pretty surprised and have a more positive view of Tesla now.
It's in the court documents. They did OCR it, to present as an exhibit. It was illegible, they also stated that the original was nearly as illegible.

Passive aggressive ftw. I would have used an excessively decorative script font and not number the pages or identify which keys. Perhaps even a typo or two, that'd buy some time.

On the size, 4 pt is generous. I remember printing an allowed note index card for high school final exams in 1 pt Times New Roman on a laser printer @ 600 dpi. At arm's length, it looked like a series of lines, but up-close the text was quite readable. Under magnification, the print quality was amazing.
These problems coincided with me trying to get started with Git and GitHub for the first time. I had a perplexing, frustrating day.
Probably worth buying the shares now then... I mean if we consider the amount of combustion engines that caught on fire in history... You get my point.
Moreover, when this sort of thing happens to a car that uses gasoline, the results can be far more catastrophic.

"The freak accident occurred about 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 8, 1994, when the family was traveling to Wisconsin to celebrate birthdays. The van, driven by Scott Willis and carrying his wife and six of their nine children, struck a piece of debris that had fallen off a truck driven by Ricardo Guzman. The debris, a mudflap/taillight assembly, punctured the mini-van's gas tank, and the car burst into flames.

Scott and Janet Willis managed to untangle themselves and escape, but the children were trapped and five of the six perished instantly. The oldest in the car, 12-year-old Ben, died the next day."

12 crashes is not a huge sample size. Also, potholes and other road hazards are so common that if 0.1% of encounters with them causes a fire that ruins the very expensive battery pack, it is an issue. Overall, yes, superior engineering prevented the problem from being worse than it was. However, there is still a problem.
That same thing happens with alcohol for a lot of people.

It raises many important questions on how to properly and ethically handle genetic improvements in society, but in my opinion it doesn't at all say that the genetic improvements shouldn't be done, it simply warns about the social, political and legal issues that the society should discuss and solve alongside with the actual biological/engineering challenges.

Having a patent doesn't force you to make or sell the product - there are a gazillion patents of things that turn out to be impractical because the problem is too narrow or there is another, better solution.

So no, there aren't any direct consequences of that, they have disclosed the "invention" in the actual patent text, and after patent expiry everybody will be able to use that patent text for their products if they wish so.
Almost all providers want to comply with almost all orders, because 1) they generally like being friends with the law and 2) criminals using their service are bad customers, too. So it probably hasn't been an issue in a lot of cases.
Linking is there to avoid repeating the arguments written in much more detail in the linked post. Is it better when everything is written twice instead in one post? Linking also helps concentrating the relevant arguments to the relevant thread. It's not to "myself" it's to the relevant node in the discussion tree which contains a lot of arguments.

If there's anything written where you've found some error you can present your arguments. Attacking persons aren't arguments.

It's like here in Aus, for quite a few years house prices were increasing 20-30% each year. After it plateaued, a decrease of 1-2% is described in the media as 'free fall' or 'crashing' or any number of other fear-mongering descriptors.

Ask HN: Recommendations for affiliate programs (clothing/fashion industry)
Hi everyone! I run dressed.so which I built for /r/malefashionadvice. Currently I'm using ShopSense/ShopStyle (for the 'shop this look' links on the post page and some other spots) and it's going alright. I'm also experimenting with Prosperent to see how that goes. I've tried to contact rewardStyle but they don't seem to keen on replying to my emails. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts / insights into any other providers?

Specifically I would like to be able to track which of my users are sending traffic so I can pay them out. The affiliate links started as a way for me to cover the hosting costs but now the idea of being a platform where people can earn from their posts is growing on me.

A better genotype does add value to a person's existence - For example, all other things being equal, a healthy person both individually feels better and is better for society than the 'same' person with a genetic defect that causes a horrible death in his/her childhood. If we can fix that, then it's a noble cause. If a genotype doesn't add value to existence, then it can't be called a "better genotype", then it's simply a different genotype.

And, by the way, "If X, then eugenics is not that bad' is in no way an acceptable argument against or for X; it's worse than irrelevant.
So you're saying children with severe genetic defects shouldn't be aborted?

Not really familiar with the code base but I took a peek at the git repo for MediaWiki[1] (the code for Wikipedia itself). It looks like it's uses a salted md5[2].

Reading through the code a bit, apparently this is the "new" way they're doing things. For older accounts it's just md5 (either with no salt or the userid as the salt, toggled by a global config). Not good ...

The extensive due diligence is done after the show, which is why deals struck on the show often fall through later on.

Another reason is that many of those doing pitches don't actually want a deal, but instead simply want the exposure provided by the platform (which, I presume, is how the show managed to get that ridiculous equity clause in). Getting a "deal" is useful in that it makes it more likely that you'll make the cut and actually appear in an episode.

Dragons Den did a follow-up show where they talked about the majority of deals falling through afterwards for various reasons, among them that the pitchers had a change of heart.
