Yes, all the time.

Those that want to get money with the free work of others, should give something back and most authors do offer commercial licenses when asked for.

With licenses like BSD, the living proof is that most companies are leechers.
The point isn't whether its easier or harder to deface a website. The point is that a public facing website is a more or less static advertisement for an organization (like a poster), thus taking it or even the server that hosts it down doesn't impact the operations of the organization in any meaningful way.
I doubt the heave and ho of the ocean would affect spinning disks like hard drives. We used to put hard drives in iPods that got thrown around by people jogging with few failures.

What is a concern is salt water, wind blowing the surface of of the ocean can add salt into the air that will eventually get into the containers. Salt moisture will be a huge long term problem.

Sure, it'd be nice if Caltrain didn't stop running at fricking 10:30 on weekends

And if it didn't keep running into people or breaking down for hours at a time. Visit NYC or London to experience the awesomeness of a good public transit system.
Has Angela Merkel any special rights, that we don´t have?
They're also not recommending air-gapping or converting your home into a Faraday cage. Sarcasm aside, "switching operating systems" and "switching email providers" are not exactly "steps you can take right now" (for values of "you" that include the average computer user). Maybe they're being realistic and trying to give people some low-hanging fruit that they can do to significantly increase their security that require minimal intrusiveness into their daily life and minimal technical knowledge.

8 States Teaming Up to Support Electric Cars
To be fair to silicon, the human brain is very similar. It's never 100% active but at one time or another it all gets used.
Can't wait to hear all the bitcoin fanboys explain how this is in fact a good thing for bitcoin. :)
I guess this list is aimed at everybody: it can be implemented without breaking too many habits, and with minimal knowledge.

Having everyone use SSL is better than nothing (and provides some amount of herd immunity to those that need to hide their communication).
Two factor auth protects against a number of threat classes, such as the "local criminal" they mention. People might not care about the NSA, but there are plenty of other reasons to care about security.

Right before the list they state that these only provide incremential improvements.
The last step might lead people to prism-break at some point (eg. during crypto parties).
That is not a good description of the concept of dark silicon. A better description would be, we cannot power all transistors at the same time because there is a power limit with regards to how much power a chip can consume.

Just because you may only be able to power x% of your chip, doesn't mean x% of your chip is useless. Some times you need to turn off parts of the chips anyways. Examples include cache misses or particular hardware flows. Other times you can decrease frequency due to program characteristics. For everything else we throttle because we cant power all the transistors at all times.
Did you analyze it for biases in the distribution of bits and bytes?
One of the issues I face is that simple CSS illustrations demonstrate interplay of positional effects between one or two items. The same positional effects give a different effect when in a multilayer container.

Now imagine a million people from all over the world passing by. Would hiding the wallet in the shoe help?
I love bootstrap, and I have heard wonderful things about both. I would pick which everone you feel like trying.
Lots of reasons.

The net speed of transit is driven by stop frequency and dwell time. Remember, you simply cannot make up for the time you're not moving -- driving half your trip at 15 mph and half at 30 mph doesn't give you an average speed of 22.5 mph ((15+30)/2), but of 20 mph -- it's the total time for the trip, divided by distance.

Acceleration (and braking) of LRV has to be limited on account of standees, which generally means limiting top speeds. The fact that most LRVs travel on shared roadways (with private vehicles, trucks, bikes, and pedestrians) means they have to be prepared for sudden stops. Exclusive RoW can avoid this problem, but it's expensive: you've either got to block off surface access, elevate, or tunnel.

Tracked vehicles cannot pass one another without sidings. A consistent issue with LRVs is that if there's a breakdown, or even a delay, of an up-track vehicle, the effects ripple back through the route. Sidings (or switches) are expensive. Trolley buses (which receive power from overhead electrical wires) have similar limitations.

Any transfers you need to make will also add considerable time to your trip, and again, dwell or stationary time _cannot_ be made up by speed.

In crowded or dense urban areas, priority signaling for transit, and the lack of need to find and pay for parking, can cut some time off of trips, but that's fairly limited.
In the actual year 1984, everyone was reading the novel "1984" for fear that we had gotten there. Most regular folk concluded that we in fact were not even close.

However, keen observers knew then that this attitude was, well, uninformed. It was clear that 1984 was true well before 1984.

So I find that much of this alarm is overwrought.
Traditional DRAM process and cpu process are very different. Building eDRAM into your chip is very expensive, and raises costs significantly.
Yes I agree with you. I'm not as well versed in monads and the technicalities around them as I would like to be, so thank you for pointing that out!
Grand Theft Auto awarded game of the year
Is there a way, given consensus among the bitcoin community, to mark these coins as "bad" and effectively destroy their value?
Car makers fear and will do whatever they can to stop autonomous cars as they represent an existential threat to their business. We will need an order of magnitude fewer cars in a world of cars-aas, on demand cars... it blows away the entire industry. .. People are, I think, underestimating just how sweeping the shift would be once it actually gets fully underway. It is not an incremental change... It's like the shift from horse and Carriage to autos... That big or bigger
It is difficult, perhaps impossible, to come up with a philosophically sound logically consistant explanation for natural phenomenon which isn't unified and connected at a fundamental level. Two incompatible sets of natural explanations are vastly less likely than one unless we're falling back on superstition again.

Really? Ancient philosophers argued that it's vastly less likely for there to be such a huge distance separating celestial bodies than whatever their pet theory of the day was. Or that it's vastly less likely for planets to travel in ellipses, because circles were "so perfect." Throughout history, time and time again, humans seem to have a problem accepting that the imagination of nature is far greater than that of man.

Plus because it's so specialized and inaccessible to the layman, the degree to which there's already tremendous consistency and unification in our theories of the underlying nature of things is dramatically underappreciated by most people.

I'm trying, but unfortunately you've given no examples.
He's overreacting a bit. Port knocking is not just an "obscurity layer". It's more akin to a PIN or weak password.

He's not saying software doesn't run well on multiple cores and we need to learn how to program applications that can utilize multiple cores efficiently. That's a software problem. This is a hardware problem.

His argument is that scaling silicon to multiple cores is facing physical barriers. You're no longer getting more cycles, improved transistor density, and decreased power consumption simultaneously. Exponential scaling of cores will not result in exponential scaling of computational throughput because we're facing energy-related tradeoffs.
just heard about it 3 days again but to organize something in Austria, you usually need some weeks of preparation. Hopefully we can support you next year here in Austria as well.

Look at it a different way. If a bug was found that could kill sshd, then a local user could replace it.
Exactly! While 2-factor is a good defense against data/identity theft from criminals or malicious hackers, I don't think it'll be of much help against governments.

In fact I'd argue that 2-factor authentication actually helps governments and private Internet companies because we willingly associate our mobile phones to our Internet accounts.
I was really surprised to see Reddit called a "bookmarking site" however Google tells me you're not alone in calling it that.

Less BTC in the wild, all other bitcoins value rise.

Technically, yes. However it's very unlikely because the consensus does not want to go down the slippery slope of politics.
I think this is going to become the norm for those type of devices. Not only does it help to uphold street dates it also allows the developers to perfect the features well after a traditional cutoff date to flash the hardware.
I've done this in the past with some pretty good results. Though, I've dropped it because I found myself constantly locking myself out of my own machines.

I can't deny, it is a cool technique though. PortSentry is a good tool to use for just this. Anytime someone came to :22 and the machine just disappears.
I got curious about what they'll do with the seized bitcoins, and http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2013/10/04/fbi-silk-... covers it: "I asked the FBI spokesperson what the plan is for those cryptocoins. “We will download the Bitcoin and store them,” she said. “We will hold them until the judicial process is over.” Then what? “This is kind of new to us,” she said. “We will probably just liquidate them.”" That sounds like it'll be an interesting day.

This is also great, from that article: "Reddit has located what looks to be the FBI’s Bitcoin wallet...Now members of Reddit are starting to use the wallet as an email address, sending it tiny amounts of Bitcoins along with public messages, which can be read here (http://blockchain.info/address/1F1tAaz5x1HUXrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GN...)." It's been colonized by spammers now.
This is a really cool idea, I like it a lot.

With that said, I'm not convinced that your pseudocode actually works. Specifically, the following doesn't make sense to me:

pos_a = key[0];

pos_b = key[1];

pos_c = key[2];

...

pos_a = key[pos_b] % key_size;

It would be really cool if you posted functioning encrypt() and decrypt() methods to github. Something that people can actually compile/run/analyze. In fact, if you do that get in touch with me and I'll try to crack it.
If you own a website and use Recaptcha for human verification you know it's been broken for years. Whether it's too hard for humans, too easy for bots, or by-passed using 3rd party labor for pennies per solve.
Why else would they listen in to the majority of the Internet traffic? That's like the whole point.

It feels like the key leaks a lot into the encoded sequence. Just try encoding a sequence of 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00...

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
char key[] = {0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08};
int key_size = sizeof(key) / sizeof(key[0]);

int pos_a = key[0];
int pos_b = key[1];
int pos_c = key[2];

char encrypted[100], decrypted[100];

for(int i = 0; i< 100; i++) encrypted[i] = 0;

for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
int old_a = pos_a;
pos_a = key[pos_b] % key_size;
pos_b = (pos_a + 1 + key[pos_c] % (key_size - 1)) % key_size;
pos_c = (pos_a + 1 + key[old_a] % (key_size - 1)) % key_size;
decrypted[i] = encrypted[i] ^ key[pos_a] ^ key[pos_b];
key[pos_c] = (key[pos_c] << 31) | (key[pos_c] >> 1);
key[pos_a] ^= key[pos_c] ^ i ^ decrypted[i];
}

for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++) printf("%02x ", decrypted[i]);

}
You can give me a try. I am an amateur chemist. Edit: Email in my profile.
decrypted[i] = encrypted[i] ^ key[pos_a] ^ key[pos_b];
key[pos_c] = (key[pos_c] << 31) | (key[pos_c] >> 1);
key[pos_a] ^= key[pos_c] ^ i ^ decrypted[i];

Expanding decrypted:

key[pos_a] ^= key[pos_c] ^ i ^ encrypted[i] ^ key[pos_a] ^ key[pos_b];

You just xored key[pos_a] into itself so we can eliminate it:

key[pos_a] = key[pos_c] ^ i ^ encrypted[i] ^ key[pos_b];

I'm pretty sure you just threw away one word's worth of entropy.

Seems like overreaching surveillance will have to go if they keep up with international pressure.

http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/10/24/exclusive...

And also this was quite surprising news to me

"After suspected abuses of the USA PATRIOT Act were brought to light in June 2013 with articles about collection of American call records by the NSA and the PRISM program (see 2013 mass surveillance disclosures), Representative Jim Sensenbrenner, Republican of Wisconsin, who introduced the Patriot Act in 2001, said that the National Security Agency overstepped its bounds. He released a statement saying “While I believe the Patriot Act appropriately balanced national security concerns and civil rights, I have always worried about potential abuses.” He added: “Seizing phone records of millions of innocent people is excessive and un-American.”"[1]

I think the logic goes along the lines of "better safe than sorry". They can make do fine without email, they have really smart people with good memories that can make this all happen in non-record-producing conversations, so why create the paper trail?

It doesn't even mean they're being shady, I mean they are, but 99% of the time we're talking about routine conversation. What if you had a bunch of people trying to do a hatchet job on you, ready to take any sentence out of context and leak it?
Run it on a port where (port != 22 && port < 1024). Problem solved. Not every non-standard port is unprivileged. Lots of people run SSH on port 443 to get around firewalls.

I run my SSH daemons on port 1022. It reduces brute-force attacks significantly without reducing security in any way that I'm aware of. I also have a ~/.ssh/config file in my laptop that tells SSH to use port 1022 whenever I'm connecting to one of my own remote machines so I don't even need to type anything extra when I use ssh, rsync, etc.
Decoupling from the DOM with Angular
Time is weird stuff. When you can tell what altitude your atomic clock is by the offset in its notion of time with the clock at your side, you start to get an inkling about that.

The professor who taught quantum mechanics at USC when I was there used to joke that God told Adam and Eve that it took 7 days to create the universe, but we know from our observations that it was closer to 14 billion years. Given these two data points we can calculate how close to the speed of light God was travelling when he created the universe ...

Interesting to think of time as actually stopped though to an outside observer. Not sure what a photon is when it isn't moving at all, perhaps a point with an electric field and equal and perpendicular magnetic field.

There are limits to executive privilege, as Nixon discovered. That's why the White House isn't routinely bugged anymore, much to the consternation of historians.
> Ancient philosophers argued that it's vastly less likely for there to be such a huge distance separating celestial bodies than whatever their pet theory of the day was.

Is it me or is that a bit handwavy? The Greeks or whoever else got things awfully right and other things terribly wrong. We have the benefit of hindsight so we can point at the latter category. It doesn't negate the former.

Seems like you could take any statement and say "oh yeah? well the ancients got stuff wrong!"
Funny how none of the PRISM companies support this initiative. However, say, Google's participation would highly increase the awareness of the cause. But all they came up with are copycat press releases to deny NSA revelations and a non-significant motion to allow for full FISA orders statistics be published (which was denied, incidentally).
Why Your Professors Suck
Thats kind of a neat idea.
And there are obvious bugs in that code, for example:
pos_a = key[pos_b] % key_size;
probably should have been:
pos_a = key[pos_b % key_size] % key_size;

And so on...
I am looking to identify a material or compound that can dissipate heat generated by the human body. I want to use this for an athletic textile application. Specifically a cooling element that is to be placed against the skin along the forearm, or on the head.

Principle characteristics I need are light weight, self contained reaction, non-toxic, and can remain cool/cold for as long as possible while dissipating this heat. Reusable is ideal, but one time use is also OK.
If you want to defend against port scanning just open some honeyports that ban all connectors. Maybe randomize these every X hours.
Unless you dress up as a construction worker and have the sign that says "slow" on the other side.
Well your key doesn't have much entropy to begin with....

On a more serious note, the code you written uses a 8bit key. you need to change the line:
(key[pos_c] << 31) | (key[pos_c] >> 1);
to:
(key[pos_c] << 7) | (key[pos_c] >> 1);

The algorithm can obviously also be modified to use 64bit chunks that could be faster on 64 bit hardware.
Exactly. Unless I misunderstood the code, If the key size is small (compared to the plain text size) and we know the key length, frequency analysis will work just fine.

VPN is not mutually exclusive with using SSH. What he's saying is that people should firewall their SSH ports to only allow access from trusted IPs, and VPN's make that easier to do.
Lunchtime doubly so.
Specialization is one of the ways forward mentioned in the article. But the ROI in this approach is much lower, and, as the article says, it could not justify the big investments that are required to create a new process.

I thought maybe I was the only one who struggled with recaptcha captchas. On some sites I have literally tried 10-15 times before finally becoming too frustrated and giving up solving the captcha because whatever it was (form to fill out for a download, fill out a comment on a site), just wasn't worth the time I was wasting. Hugely irritating.
Could a non root user just read the host keys from sshd, then kill it and serve them? Or could it even just MITM it?
Note that my question was specifically about a prototype for a mobile app (e.g. something that you would later rewrite as a native app). If possible, I would rather use a CSS framework / theme that is build specially with that use case in mind.

That is actually something I like about jQuery mobile. If your app idea fits into their model you can build it in under one hour, including thinks like fancy page transitions. Unfortunately it has other weaknesses.
Wait, what? I think I missed this one
To be fair, we have absolutely no idea how the human brain functions, and whether the analogy with silicon is relevant at all... Some have posited that consciousness is a function of a wave-like property of the entire brain, for example. That may be a load of bollocks, but the reality remains that we don't know much about how the brain does its magic.
1. That looks like a pedestrian path.

2. Wasn't that image on a Photoshop hoax site?

Personally I think you would be more likely to get a better response:

* If you delivered a complete implementation in a popular language like C, Python, or Ruby, rather than publishing pseudocode that may or may not be interpreted correctly by error-prone humans

* If there was a clear goal. "Find a weakness" is vague; "Recover the missing plaintext from this 1MB message" is specific.
