I don't think that this is a deal-breaker though. In my opinion the best response you could give in this situation is: "I would use <Library function> [showing you know libraries], however if this was not available I would implement it operating on characters as follows...

Additionally, when you do a startup and it succeeds it is already too late to redesign your app completely to make it scale. Changing the RDBMS in the middle of the game and migrating data is risky and would cost you probably more than using a properly scalable database right from the beginning.

Additionally once you know you need to scale, your competition will see your product. Knowing the idea works, if they start from scratch, but using a better database for the job, they can easily put you out of the business, because instead of competing and adding new feauters, you'll be busy fighting scalability problems.

Where I'm from (not where I live), renters pay about $300-500/mo less than the cost of a mortgage.
Once again Shamir puts out a bombastic paper where they tested against one device in a controlled environment and doesn't release a software or a proof that it works.

If this were real there would be a "submit your recording" or an opensource library for others to try.

The physics of this don't work.

If they did work the experiment should be documented in a way that there could be peer review. If you can't repeat it, it isn't valid.

I lost lots of Karma the last time I mentioned this, but I kind of don't care. These kinds of fake "hacks" are only designed to create fear, and keep people from working on real security issues while creating a reputation based on falsehoods for the author.
Your math only works if you're near the end of your mortgage life. At the beginning, nearly every penny of your mortgage payment goes to interest, which is front-loaded.

For most Americans, who move around fairly often, they will never come close to paying off a mortgage and the only equity they will ever own will be what they bought with their down payment plus whatever they get on the margin if the value of the house goes up.

If you, say, live in a house for five years and then move, then you basically rented the house from the bank for five years. Except that unlike a renter you also assumed the (upside and downside) risk of home value change, and assumed the cost of taxes, maintenance, etc. Plus you tied up a large sum of money in a down payment.

This may be worth it if you want to bet that home prices will go up in the next five years. It also may be worth it because mortgage interest, unlike regular rent, is deductible from your taxes, which is perhaps the most obscenely regressive thing in the tax code.
Are you suggesting that newspapers are involved in a conspiracy to push the idea of home ownership so that they can sell adverts to DIY / home improvement companies? That is an, interesting, idea.
It's because there is a lot of vacation tourism to Thailand (much more than other countries in that region), specially from Europe. People use streetview to, for example, check the street a hotel is on before booking etc.
Yeah, renting in a lot of places is a good deal. A lot of real estate markets (read: NY & SF) are totally insane. A lot of wealthy people (corporations are people too now. The courts said so!) are sitting on limited space and expecting outrageous ROIs out of their land (that goes for rentals too).

But they're never even, and that's the point.

I don't want to get on my LVT preacher's box, but man would I be pleased to see that happen.
> Where I live renters pay a $300-500/mo premium over what they'd pay if they had a mortgage.

>I sure would like an extra $6000 a year to go to building my wealth vs building someone else's

That's the crux of the argument here. Money that would otherwise be spread around (the difference between owning and renting) instead lines the pockets of the shareholders of private equity firms. It's almost like a forced tax, because if you have to live in an area (e.g. can't move because of family, employment, access to schools etc), but are outbidded from the house you'd otherwise be able to afford - that means you are forced to rent.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the magnet link a hash of the files? Then it would not be possible to change the files without changing the link.
Entering without my permission (or 2 weeks notice) is grounds for immediate termination of my lease (see the link below). Installing an alarm system and not giving them the code isn't covered, but I would be extremely unwise to do that. There's a lot covering the tenant if the landlord does enter without permission, and the only time I've had a problem with it lead to a lot of voluntarily refunded rent. It's not really thought of as strange, though I would prefer to have my own locks personally.

Today. Tomorrow it may change. (Where is this, by the way?)

Rents follow the revenue more closely. A mortgage is fixed.

Rents also give you much more flexibility. If it's too expensive you can move somewhere else. Just ask those who tried to sell their houses to pay the mortgage but who were still short.
This sounds terrible. I just jailbroke my phone. What's the best path backwards ?

The best part is that this area has been growing significantly for ~20 years now and is only going to get bigger in the next 10. Values are steadily climbing. Homeowners here are making an absolute killing doing almost nothing to maintain their property. Folks who've lived here a while are getting rich.

It seems like distillation should anyway be leaving behind a great deal of the contamination. I guess that is not sufficient for radioactive contamination, but direct exposure seems likely to be the bigger problem in this situation.

(It also seems to be a possibility that they were using (contaminated) seawater for decontamination procedures, but that is hard find reasonable information about)
Correct me if I am wrong, but I tried to used numbers which fit your scenario, and roughly got this:

Mortgage: 100,000$

Term: 25 yrs

Rate: 1%

Principal payment for the 12th month: 59.38$

Interest payment for the 12th month: 993.84$

Cumulative interest after 12 months: 11,998.64$

Cumulative principal after 12 months: 675.02$

All this with an incredible 1% rate.

Exactly, I was just driving it home. ;)

In my situation I don't mind it right now. It's a lot cheaper than living in New York and I work remotely. There's absolutely no decent work here, so I don't want to be trapped owning a home down here.

Unfortunately, I'm starting to realize that with my increased travel costs, living in New York would still work out better for me financially and (more importantly) socially.

There is one case where I really do appreciate manipulating copy-paste: selecting multiple cells in a table.

Excel ends up populating the plaintext as well as the HTML paste buffers. The plaintext buffer holds TSV output and the HTML buffer holds the full HTML. The HTML is the only way to distinguish between the two cells

|"foo|bar"|

and the single cell

|"foo\tbar"| (using some CHAR magic in excel to generate the tab character)

This is part of the problem with the American housing industry. How did it become "normal" to borrow 4/5ths of the value of a home? It didn't used to be that way. If you look at average loan-to-value ratios over the last 40 years, they've consistently gone up. Same with the home value to income ratio. Home prices have appreciated much more quickly that they should have based on fundamentals of the economy, propped up by government incentives, cheap money sloshing around, and an oversized mortgage industry.

Ultimately, what we really need is to go back to a system where people can actually afford the homes they live in. The vast majority of Americans, whether they "own" or "rent," are still renters with no real chance of ever actually owning their home outright. If that perception changed, prices would come down, and we'd eventually get back to a system where you could buy a home for 2X your annual income.

The problem with a return to a sane system is that it would bury existing homeowners, and we aren't willing to accept the pain in the short run. We need to artificially inflate housing prices in order to allow people to sell their homes, keep the economy functioning etc. So, in short, we're stuck.

It's not quite that simple. We owned a house in Baltimore for 8 years, when we sold we got $3000 more than we had paid for it. Additionally we had done ~$40,000 worth of work that a renter would not have. Add in $7500 in commission when we sold. If I can still do basic math, that's an extra $463.54 per month to be a home owner. Maybe we should have rented after all.
Newspapers are in the business of telling their readers what they want to hear, and people they want to hear that owning is the path to wealth and that the value of their home is going up.

In addition much of our media and the people within it have a vested interest in property price rises, usually because they are up to their necks in buy to let property.

Wall Street also bets on other basic commodities like food and oil, which drive up their prices.

If two parties want to sell each other stocks bonds (asset classes likely purchased by deep pocketed, sophisticated investors), and the asset blows up, fine. Both parties can afford to take the hit. But where those assets are basic essentials, it's just downright slimy.

iOS 7 isn't available on the iPod Touch 4th Gen, that doesn't change with this news. So, your reasons focus on iOS 6 and lower. iOS 7 imho leaves only a few edge cases to favor a jailbreak, especially on an unlocked device.

What if your site is a graphic editing web app using a <canvas> renderer? By convention users should be able to copy and paste graphical objects created within the app as well as paste text or images copied from elsewhere.

If you use keyboard short-cuts in your UI to copy into your app's memory but not the system clipboard then you have no way to know whether the data the user wants to paste was copied from your app or somewhere else. If you only use the system clipboard and inform the user that copy/pasting is done with right-click or key-combos and not the browser's "Edit" menu, you can handle copy-pasting predictably.

This was the most reliable method I could think of. Yes the browser's "Edit" menu is a problem and there's no way to get around that.
Even if 99% goes to interest, $10 is still better than $0.

It was. The Reagan is nuclear-powered and is capable of carrying nuclear missiles (and quite possibly was at the time). Unless Navy planning has entirely rotted away, that ship was plastered with radiation detectors, crewed with people trained for nuke decon, equipped with NBC (nuclear/bioweapon/chemical weapon) protection suits, and supplied with potassium iodide tablets for thyroid protection.

A mortgage is fixed.

My understanding is that long term fixed rate mortgages are a USA thing. I don't think such a thing as 30 year fixed rate mortgage exists in Europe, for instance.
You get root access to your phone/pad, that alone is definitely worth it (spec. if you're a developer); sometimes you just NEED a shell.
Much like computers, the modern legal system doesn't work particularly well if you expect it to "do what I mean, not what I said".

The difference is that compiler errors on the computer don't usually cost six figures when they happen. ;)
that's only correct if you assume everyone starts afresh every time they move - eg start with a 25 year mortgage, move after 5 years, take out a new 25 year mortgage.

why wouldn't the next mortgage be a 20 year term? that's a like for like replacement at that point.
I loved that comic, and your post led me to believe that XKCD had yet another easter-egg thing and that Randal set up a server for an anonymous chatroom accessible one way or another from this comic page, but after poking around the DOM and checking the image for shady things and so on and so forth, and I didn't find anything.

The XKCD foras don't seem to know anything I don't, either.

I invite you to either clarify this title ("XKCD jokes about undocumented features", perhaps) or to prove me wrong.

Wow. This changes a whole lot of things.

This is basically the worst-case scenario for Apple in terms of jailbreaks: For the first time, there's an unknown corporate actor calling the shots, and the high code-signing security of iOS 7 has backfired, causing this to be the only jailbreak on the market.

If this becomes anywhere near as popular as Evasi0n for iOS 6.1 (over 7 million downloads in its first few days), Apple will have not simply lost control of the platform to a bunch of power users, but to a well-funded entity with unclear motives.

Apart from trying some kind of political game in China to shut this down (I don't know how much pull they have there for this sort of thing), I see only one solution, which is to change the rules of the fight: Port Gatekeeper to iOS. Kill the market for jailbreaks altogether.
I was pulling numbers out of the air for simplicity.

But essentially, even if you only bank $10 in equity, $10 is better than $0 you'd bank if you paid rent.
Vuln reward programs that payout at this level are broken.

1) They don't achieve their objective of securing a product. Moxie eloquently captured why here: http://thoughtcrime.org/blog/telegram-crypto-challenge/

2) At this level of payout, they are inefficient and unsustainable. There were less expensive ways to discover implementation flaws, and certainly more direct ways to discover design flaws. Was the lesson they just learned really worth $100 grand from some random dude on the Internet? Seems to me you could find more problems per dollar by directly engaging with some of the top class security consultancies out there.

So to summarize, telegram's reward was an extremely inefficient stunt that did not achieve it's likely real objective. I imagine the team is licking it's wounds right now and regretting their approach. We'll be able to tell by whether or not they continue their offer under the same rules and same budget.

I expect this to continue for another couple of rounds because random security people on the Internet will be smelling blood right now.

You're assuming that government regulation solves all these problems better than a free market system would. Let's see:

I don't have to worry about my next door neighbor starting a pig farm.

Do you live in a covenant community? I do, which means it isn't government regulations that are stopping my next door neighbor from starting a pig farm, but the voluntarily adopted by-laws of the community, funded by the dues paid by homeowners. Do you have any evidence that homeowners in such communities pay more for the same benefits, on average, than homeowners in towns and cities where the local government's zoning laws are the applicable regulations?

I rode an elevator today without worrying about falling to my death.

How much did you pay in taxes for that assurance? How much would you have paid in a free market where private insurance companies enforced safety regulations--i.e., the inspection certificate inside the elevator was issued by an inspector hired by the insurance company that had liability for any injuries caused by a defect in the elevator, rather than an inspector hired by the government? Do you have any evidence that the latter cost would be higher than the former for the same benefit?

No one is spraying dioxin as a sealant on the streets in my area because it was the cheap option.

I didn't know dioxin was even an option for street sealing, but let's assume you meant "some harmful substance". Once again, you're paying taxes for this benefit; do you have any evidence that you're getting the benefit more cheaply than you would in a free market system where roads were privately owned, and the owners were liable for damages to neighboring property owners, just as I would be liable if I dumped toxic waste on your lawn?

when regulation works, you don't have to think about it.

Yep, right up until it stops working catastrophically. Ask the residents of Gulf coast communities how well government regulation prevented them from suffering serious damage as a result of the Deepwater Horizon spill. In a free market, BP could not have just gone and started drilling with a nudge-nudge wink-wink from Federal regulators who had no real stake in the outcome and who made no serious effort to sanity check what they were doing; they would have had to convince the Gulf residents themselves, directly, that the risks of drilling were worth the benefits.
