A few years ago, I tried this on my own laptop. I didn't have any sort of full disk encryption to test against, so I simply checked the RAM dump for plaintext looking things. Without having cooled the RAM (or opened the computer at all), there was a significant amount of meaningful plain-text. If you are interested in actual data about how effective this is, you should probably ignore my antecedent and look at the research paper in the above link.

Given how easy this attack is for its effectiveness, I would be suprised if it is not used.
From what I heard from Ukrainian friends, the primary matter here is the corruption. President has criminal past, he did time for rape (!) and some petty theft, when he was younger. He was retroactively cleared of charges. Also, strangely enough, all people involved in those cases can longer be found. However he still has strong ties with the criminal world and under his rule and with his assistance existing businesses were routinely and forcibly taken over by an equivalent of mafia. All latest developments with criminalization of government critique, suppressing the right to protest, etc aren't really surprising to anyone there - it's a logical development of things going downhill in past few years.

Sure there's Russia' involvement and geopolitics, but it does appear to be a secondary matter.
Extremely well done!
It's different because, unlike OWS, this is not an "eat the rich" protest. This is a protest against an authoritarian foreign power imposing its will on what (briefly) has been an independent country.
And in my _entire life_ (including a lot of time spent with friends in fraternities and at frat parties in colleges), I've never heard "bro" used as anything but a shorter form of the term of endearment "brother", or at worst an ironic reference to the stereotype of the super-fratty popped-collar bro. Obviously both usages are prevalent, but your contention is that the term can't POSSIBLY be referring to anything but your usage. Why exactly is that?
Quora is:

1. Not a search engine. So you will not be able to see information from other forums, discussion boards, etc. unless cited by someone else on Quora.

2. Is a Q&A community so you will be limited to the experiences of the community. This can also result in community bias.

3. Is a site I would only consider to use as one of many sources for researching information.

4. Requires creating an account.

They also have an annoying history of hiding information found via searching in other search engines so I do not trust the company all that much. Whether or not that is a fair opinion is up to you, but that is why I would rather not sign up for an account there.

Bro is exclusionary to women because it is a word for a man or boy. So associating guys (and exclusively guys) with the name bro in this way is a small sign to women that they don't belong. I am sure this seems inconsequential to you, and taken by itself, it is. But as a woman, seeing literally (first definition) dozens of these signs every single day on everything related to technology, it adds up.

You, personally, only notice when something might be exclusionary when someone else brings it up on a site like this. But if you are sensitive to the signs (ie are either a woman or looking really closely) they can be overwhelmingly negative.
This is your second post that disputes this blog but you offer no evidence to support your claims. The photos of intact shops and first hand accounts are supplies in the blog post. What is your involvement or interest? The story offered here is pretty compelling I thought.
Rather than forcing the entire world to change to fit your world views and personality, it's always a better idea to simply stop seeking validation from the world and stop caring about things like this. If you are feeling excluded it's because you are choosing to feel excluded, not because anyone is deliberately trying to make you feel that way. I am a western person living in an incredibly exclusionary and xenophobic east Asian country and if I cared about every time I'm treated differently, I'd go nuts. And since I am a white person living among a bunch of Asians, trust me when I say that I get treated differently all the time. People often start acting differently when I enter the room, store clerks and waiters often treat me a bit different than the locals etc. And you know what? Most of that is not even intentional. It's just the way humans are and that's ok.

You can't force people to give up every single piece of their identity and what makes them different in order to fit this new politically-correct bland mold of people who all act and think the same so that no one feels "excluded". As humans we are different, diverse, have different types of humor depending on the geography, age, gender, subcultures etc. Being able to cope with that is part of being a mature, well adjusted person.

All this PC "let's-all-be-the-same-hold-hands-and-sing-kumbaya" crap is getting tiresome. It goes against everything that makes us human, different and unique. If that's the world you want to live in - fine - keep going with your crusade and feeling indignant every time someone shows a trace of uniqueness and being different. I for one refuse to live in such a suffocating colorless world. I love being different from other people because everyone is more interesting that way, and yet at the end of the day I can still find a way to relate to others.

The world owes us nothing. If you decide to take away positive aspects from your daily experiences, that's what you'll get. If you decide to feel miserable and angry when people don't act the way you want them to act, then sadness and misery is what you'll get.

Since I know that some blockhead is going to try to strawman me, I will preempt that by saying that I don't believe we should start calling black people "niggers" or take away women's right to vote. Just saying that if people manifest their diversity in a way that's not harmful to others, there is no reason to get upset.

Joining the common European market would be a great step towards prosperity, sure, with mutual benefits for everyone, as well as increased security, stability and peace. Having a large common market you can buy from and sell to is pretty awesome, actually. Add the pretty great more human benefits (freedom of movement, freedom of labor) and it’s a pretty great perspective.

As it stands, however, the Ukraine is probably decades away from that – but I can’t see how that could possibly be a bad thing to work towards.
I can't upvote this enough. People do indeed believe in revolutions, and thinks by burning stuff that wealth will be made.

3 years later (Tunisian here), we found out that it's not a revolution. The dictator might have been ousted by external agencies. While the protests are legit, the outcome is not.

This made me a new opinion: You can have power over another entity by using damage (burning, and crashing stuff). But this won't create power, let alone structure or wealth.

A good example is Libya, where the situation is moving fast into Somalia despite having large oil reserves.
The problem is that "bro" summons up the image of the hyper-masculine culture of college fraternities in the United States which has, to some extent, infiltrated the tech world in recent years. Some unfortunate aspects of this culture include:

- Excessive drinking

- Objectification of women

- Fear/ridicule of homosexuals

- Practice of hazing rituals

- Cults of personality/Hero worship

Basically, role up all the regrettable, animal-like behaviors of immature, dishonerable men. Of course, the average startup is nowhere near as bad as the average college fraternity, but its tragic indeed that you can even mention them in the same sentence. The whole "bro"grammer thing is beyond tiresome.

>Bankrolled by who? EU? US? Who? And do you have any evidence?

It's naive to ask for evidence in such issues. As if they put out official statements and bank account transactions. These kind of things are exposed years or even decades after the fact.

That said, we do have evidence and hard facts for similar sponsoring of other "orange revolutions" and under-the-table deals in the past 2 decades. It's a constant presence in the history of lesser states, when the interests of superpowers collide with theirs, a practice as old as the "Voice of America".

In practice, when you see sponsored foreign "organisations" working in some place to help "bring democracy", just think "change the regime to some puppet who will do us favours". Superpowers don't do such things out of the goodness of their heart. That's why you only see them in places like Ukraine and Iraq, and not, say, Arabia or Latin America dictatorships [1]

>BTW-Do you get your news from RT?

I don't know about him, but I get "my news" from studying the political climate and being in the middle of decades of European and Eastern European history. And I'm not even Russian/Ukraine, I'm from EU.

Now, don't get me wrong, the protesters are genuinely believing that they are doing the right thing and fighting for change etc. It's just that that's a feeling that's very easy to create and manipulate in people, selling them "change" and "hope" and offering them the same shit in a different package.

Quite like people thought this Obama guy was the "Hope" that would change everything once he gets elected, only to get mostly same-old, same-old.

[1] From Wikipedia:

Activists in each of these movements were funded and trained in tactics of political organization and nonviolent resistance by a coalition of Western pollsters and professional consultants who were partly funded by a range of Western government and non-government agencies but received most of their funding from domestic sources.[nb 2][2] According to The Guardian, the foreign donors included the U.S. State Department and USAID along with the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, the International Republican Institute, the NGO Freedom House and George Soros's Open Society Institute.[34] The National Endowment for Democracy, a foundation supported by the U.S. government, has supported non-governmental democracy-building efforts in Ukraine since 1988.

Former president Leonid Kravchuk accused Russian oligarch, Boris Berezovsky, of financing Yushchenko's campaign on 14 September 2005.[36][nb 3] Yushchenko denied Berezovsky financed his election campaign.[36] Financing of election campaigns by foreign citizens is illegal in Ukraine.[37] At first Berezovsky refused to confirm or deny Kravchuk's allegations, but in November 2005 he did claim that indeed he had heavily financed the Orange Revolution.[38][nb 4]

> "If I claim I'm a victim in a way that you're not, it becomes literally impossible for you to prove me wrong."

> This is a very ungenerous reading. (Ungenerous readings are very common in 'discussions' like this, on both sides.)

I think you're misunderstanding me, because you the rest of your post precisely describes what I'm talking about (up until the final paragraph, which I'll get to later).

If I claim that I'm a victim in a way that you're not, it means that there must (in some way) be quantifiable categorical differences between us. Otherwise, of course, we'd both be victims.

For example, we could have different different cities of birth, different ages, different ethnicities, different religions, different specific houses of worship, different visual appearances, different heights, different friends, different incomes, different hobbies, different offices, different voice pitches, different teachers, different childhood fears, different parents, etc. We could be different people with different brain chemistries and different life experiences. So even if we are at the same table together at the same restaurant, you could not tell me how I experienced the waiter speaking to us.

And you could not judge how I experience being told, "You are not allowed to reason with a woman when she claims victimhood on the basis of her sex. You are not allowed to point out any problematic aspects of her claims. You are not allowed to say that you as a man are equally affected by the phenomenon she is describing. She knows that you are wrong. Somehow."?

> But isn't it even more patronizing for men to come in and say that she has no basis to make that claim?

No, it's not patronizing at all disagree with a woman and explain why.

> And that sounds uncomfortably like we're saying to women: you can't disagree. You can't do anything other than supplicate.

Saying to women "we are allowed to disagree and reason with you" is completely different from saying to women "you aren't allowed to disagree and reason with us".
Joining the common European market would be a great step towards prosperity, sure, with mutual benefits for everyone, as well as increased security, stability and peace.

Big claims need big justifications, I guess. The EU experience wasn't all that good for Greece, for example.
Have you read the captions? All of them? There are images of elderly people facing off against the 'police' (heavily militarized is an understatement as far as I can tell). How do you suggest people get the political changes they want?
Are you really arguing that the “oppression” faced by white, heterosexual, cisgendered, male nerds is comparable to the denial of human rights that women, non-whites, transgendered people, and other oppressed groups face every day of their lives? I'm not looking to get into the oppression olympics, but to claim that it's in any way comparable suggests a fundamental, offensive lack of awareness about others' experiences.
>Each friend-to-friend connection is identified by their usernames and a shared secret.

Showstopper. I wanted to ASK how this beats retroshare. But without asymmertic keys you're kinda fd.

>On session establishment, temporary salted authentication and encryption keys are derived from the shared secret by each peer. The current implementation uses PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 (10000 iterations) for key derivation.

Please describe in more detail. Form what I read it highly depends in a really good implementation here to provide perfect forward secrecy.

>where secret exchange is made on our servers. Then a code is sent to both you and your friend so that your Teapotnet instance can fetch the secret through HTTPS.
Why don't you just do (authenticated) diffie hellman? Then your Server wouldn't need to know the key.

Sorry but just Form those few sentences i have to assume your crypto is shit and cant be trusted. I'm mobile right now so i didn't look at the source. After that I also probably won't.

Edit: german autocorrect while typing english is REALLY annoying. Sorry for all the typos.

Edit2: What The fuck? Why are there own sha512 and AES implementations? Use openssl! For nie i'd strongly advise Tod avoid until someone more skilled than me has reviewed this. But für crypto Reilly seems horrible.
Can you point to specific paragraphs that would do such things?
Do you also believe the news reports that come from such trusted media organizations as Fox, or KCNA?

All reports means very little when the only sources available are controlled by a party with a vested interest in the outcome.

> Joining the common European market

But this joining would be one direction, Ukraine would not be allowed to export into EU thanks to various regulations.
Also Ukraine already has common market with Russia, and this would have to close.

This deal is actually really bad for Ukraine.
The EU experience wasn't all that good for Greece, for example.

Having to defang their military a bit to be considered for EU admission didn't exactly work out ideally for Turkey, either...
I don't mean to get personal, but your post is surprisingly content-free. Everyone in the pro-government party understands what this protest is about. Yanukovich may be portrayed as non-intellectual, but he has read his Machiavelli and knows how to maneuver. In addition, he has an equally ardent, albeit much less vociferous voter base as the opposition, plus a network of government-connected oligarchs who run the show from behind the scenes. In this case, the future of the country has a clear schism. You cannot simultaneously sign a pact with Russia while opening the door to European market. It's one or the other, black or white, as made clear by Mr. Putin.

> amateur/citizen "journalism"

No need to put journalism into quotes because it is real journalism what those people are doing.
The entire problem is that "saying 'bro' is poking fun of other men"! It is a joke, by men, about men, in regards to programming. To reiterate: a joke, regarding programming, written by men, that completely disregards women.

Of course, on its own, that is pretty irrelevant. There are jokes like that all the time on all sorts of topics. But in this situation, it is ALWAYS men joking with/about other men. Women are excluded from the jokes completely. And these sorts of "jokes" and other little implicit signals are all over everything remotely related to CS/tech. Which gets pretty discouraging, day after day.
A book that some believe influences Russia's strategy is "Osnovy geopolitiki: Geopoliticheskoe budushchee Rossii" (Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geo-political Future of Russia) by Alexander Dugin. It describes the path to an Eurasian Empire that says about Ukraine "with the exception of its three westernmost regions—Volhynia, Galicia, and Transcarpathia—Ukraine, like Belarus, constitutes an integral part of Russia-Eurasia".

I'm not sure that "there wasn't a dry eye in the place" is the correct expression. Unless it was very moving and sad. Or is this just a local usage (New Zealander checking in).
I used to work 30 minutes every morning on side projects. I did it for 2-3 years. It wasn't hard to get focus as long as I did it every day. It worked as long as I did it every day. Reserving a slot of time for working allowed me to not feel guilty of watching tv, going out... I felt good about having done what I wanted and knew there would be 30 minutes again the next day. Here are a few things that helped me :

- Keeping a todo list on a paper under my keyboard to start quickly.

- Reserve larger things that takes time like refactoring for the week-end (2-3 hours ).

- I tried to use the same technologies I used at work to avoid learning time.

- I asked my wife to avoid asking me things at that time
Yes, I guess I could figure out such options but let me explain what problem I have. I take multiple photos (e.g. my camera can take 10 photos per second) and want to make video from that. Gif is poor option as photos are taken with hand and are shaky a little bit. Gif will get big in size because of that alone. Video (e.g. webm) is very good alternative for that. Your project (?) offers option to add text (and other nice little details) and that makes it killer alternative.

Having a large common market you can buy from and sell to is pretty awesome, actually. Add the pretty great more human benefits (freedom of movement, freedom of labor) and it’s a pretty great perspective.

LOL, just ask the Spanish, Portuguese, Italians, Greeks, Hungarians, and co. Here's how this "freedom of labor" works in practice:

"""Humiliating wages, inhuman working conditions and coercion in a country that has declared itself the leader of the EU,” writes Jurnalul National in the wake of an investigation on working conditions of east Europeans in Germany, published by Munich daily Süddeutsche Zeitung and aired on German public television channel ARD. The probe revealed the existence of a mafia-like organisation, which recruits Romanian workers for German companies, and then confiscates their identity papers and threatens them with death if they go to court to have their employment contracts enforced."""

And it's not just some isolated "mafia like organisation" -- the same things happen to migrant workers from all countries and accross tons of fields.

The "common European market" is a lure for smaller countries to become Germany's satellites and for Brussels bureaucrats to rule over the will of the seperate nation-states.

Imagine a Washington tens times more in bed with big corporations and Wall Street, ten times more bureaucratic, and favoring a few states while fucking over the majority of the others. Oh, and with bodies that nobody voted for in power.
