There is one thing that always annoys me as of late, once I figured it out, that reporters always represent {A} by {B} and over-sensationalize {B} to the point where I cannot recognize it as normal or I see {A} through a lens unbefitting of it.

Take for example the following line: Google X head Astro Teller embraces failure. Sometimes literally: In group meetings, he has been known to give hugs to people who admit mistakes or defeat. Here embracing failure is over-sensationalized, I think, when in the end it is only a hacker's attempt at trial-and-failure. And then for some reporter to come and say, because they are trying to find gems in the story, that hackers embrace failure sounds just plain old gibberish.

The original cold boot paper was released in 2008 and they only demonstrated the attack on DDR2 memory [1]. A paper published in 2013 [2] discussed cold boot on modern hardware.

"This study is based on 5 different computer
systems. While we demonstrate that simple warm
reset attacks (not cutting power) are effective even
against DDR3 systems, we were
not
able to detect
any data remanence for DDR3 after cold boots. Even
cooling the RAM chips did not reveal data remanence
beyond cold boots. This leads us to the claim that
cold boot attacks relying on RAM remanence beyond
cold boots are not possible against modern DDR3
RAM chips."

Some issues come from phonon effects. These ropes would be a single crystal in effect. From thermal 'noise' you get phonons in the crystal. Since the crystal is a big tube, these phonons can only travel up, down, or create standing waves around the tube (essentially). When these phonons interact, there may be enough energy present to break the crystal/rope. This happens a lot since atoms are real small. Doping the crystal may help, but that'll weaken it. Cooling it may help, but that's costly. Much more basic research is needed.

Well, they're different exercises. Walking burns just about the same number of calories, though.
That, right there, is the attitude that leads to unmaintainable software. If you want the position of general contractor, then you'd better know how to interface with zoning authorities, draw architecture, and perform maintenance on your creation over time, or at least work very closely with the people who do know and do care about that stuff. You are not above any of those things. Ever.

All too often I see feature developers say "well, I have an operations team, I'll let them figure it out," and they (a) never leverage said operations team for advice during development, (b) don't consider operational concerns such as sharding, deployment, logging, and monitoring at all during development, (c) file a ticket against operations with three weeks to go until their deadline to perform all of those things, and (d) call for rolling operational heads when their service does not perform to their expectations (using the author's "totem pole" as their rationale). As an operations engineer, I can count way too many fucking times I've been on the other end of that from developers with attitudes like yours. It is the absolute worst part of my job.
"yet it hasn't stopped vendors from claiming they offer protection"

Systems like gdb process-record-and-replay rely on logging machine state with every instruction [0]. This imposes limitations; for example gdb's record-and-replay system is not implemented on all platforms where gdb runs. Record-and-replay systems can also be impractical for many systems; for example VMWare record-and-replay debugging technically works on Firefox, but it's a tool of last resort because of the performance penalty. The browser can take several minutes just to start up in the record-and-replay debugger. [1]

Because of this, Mozilla developed its own record-and-replay system that is lower-overhead, but that again does CPU-specific and platform-specific work that needs to reimplemented for every OS and architecture, and relies on CPU features that aren't available at all on some processors and add some limitations of their own (like no recording of multiple threads with shared memory). [2]

In contrast, the Elm debugger apparently takes advantage of the language's pure FRP design to record and replay only input streams, rather than low-level machine/program state - a very different approach, with its own limitations, but also very different possibilities like interactively rewriting history by running different code on the same input stream.

Yes, there are demos of such things. For example, these two:

Your statement is true, but surely there's a better and less damaging way to reach the end goal? e.g., if I run over someone with my car and they're saddled with life-long medical bills, they're more likely to call their Congressman and demand a better healthcare system.

CoreOS uses a "dual root" setup to stage upgrades. Atomic uses rpm-ostree to stage upgrades. Both require reboots and the bootloader to roll back changes.

Both will let you run Docker containers.

CoreOS doesn't seem to support SELinux natively, but Atomic does. (Probably related to the fact that Atomic is a normal-ish linux distro and CoreOS is totally custom)

Atomic gives you a web interface to manage running services. I am not aware of a similar tool [Cockpit] on CoreOS.

Atomic uses geard as an interface to installing Docker containers into systemd and running them. It's a part of OpenShift. It seems to be abstraction that you can use to control more parts of the "orchestration" of large systems, plugging in zookeeper/etcd/serf for the backend configs. Seems like they have a strong focus on the real-world security of their application clusters. https://github.com/openshift/geard/blob/master/docs/orchestr...

I'd like to offer a different perspective. You're free to dismiss me as well because I currently have a similar job description to 'djcapelis, but I've also been a sysadmin and front-line IT security guy (watching IDSes, patching systems), so I have a pretty good idea what the commoditization of exploit code means.

I think that things like metasploit and heartleech are an almost purely unalloyed good. In my experience, the "bad guys" already have easy-to-use tools. What publicly available tools do is give defenders access to these techniques, which they can use to demonstrate that problems really are a Big Deal. There is a certain kind of person (who seem to gravitate towards management) that cannot be convinced to take an issue seriously unless they can see the impact with their own eyes. A tool that prints out the private key of their production server is worth a dozen blog posts and security advisories as far as convincing them the danger is real.
I think there is a lot miss understanding here, to me DevOps is not just automation (we've had that for a long time, Perl, cron, cfengine etc).

It's much about applying the same processes you would apply in development to Ops. For example committing changes into version control and only using that, not live patching things, much like you wouldn't live edit a website.

Also being able to spin up new servers based on a config and not requiring manual config to get it going. Automation alone does not get rid of 'snowflake servers' http://martinfowler.com/bliki/SnowflakeServer.html

Also, it can be about letting developers get the exact same environment for development/testing at no additional time cost - which in turn makes it more like that code changes can go live without problems or delays.

This is the poor mans transputer: http://www.parallella.org
This isn't exactly what I was thinking. When you sign up on Goodst.org you sign up to a plan that charges your credit card about $6.00 a month. Even though they let you choose where to direct .25 cents each day. So overall you have to be willing to give at least $6.00 a month.

I was hoping to really lower the barrier to donating by only asking for a .10 - .20 cent donation per person, per month. I think many more people would be willing to donate .10 - .20 cents per month instead of $6.00 per month.

.10 - .20 cents a month would not be a noticeable difference to most people, so people would sign up without any concern about their own finances. As long as they could trust the payment options and donation service.

Lets take a look at a possible scenario here. Currently amazon micropayments charges credit cards 5% of transaction value + $0.05 for transactions anywhere between $.05 - $9.99.

Lets consider single transactions between .10 - .20 cents. Any transaction in this range comes with a 6 cent transaction fee. So you would receive a net payment of .04 - .14 cents per person per month.

Imagine an example where each person donates .20 cents and we receive .14 cents net per person after transaction fee. How many user do we need to get $500,000? About 3.57 million users.

Seems like a lot of people but it is only about .01% of the United States population. And since the website could take donations from anyone in the world willing to give .20 cents a month, I think attaining practical large sums would be achievable. And extremely affordable!

So .25 cents a day is good if you can afford it, but .20 cents a month is soo extremely affordable for most people and with scale it could add up to a lot!
I think users would prefer that covert government agencies not know where to find the authors, either to avoid undue influence or surreptitious hacking of their development machines to insert backdoors and other nefarious things.

Google swoops on dronemaker Titan
That book has interesting experiments, but suffers psychology's common problem (especially baby psychology): massively over-extending the experimental data into unsupportable conclusions that ignore loads of confounding factors.

Example, quoted from the website:

"""
The babies in the unjustified group spent more time looking at the adult's discordant expression and exhibited more checking behavior. Additionally, the babies' facial expressions only displayed empathy for the adult when a negative emotional response fit the scenario.

The takeaway:

Parents, take note: Your toddler can see through your "stiff upper lip" routine.

"""

The "takeaway" is completely unsupported. In no way does the experiment suggest that hiding pain is useless.

For one thing, "stiff upper lip" (aka "faked neutrality") is different from faked happiness.

For two, the experimental methodology only applies to cases where the baby knows that the experience's standard emotional response. That applies to hammer strikes on a finger, but not something like divorce or losing a job.

For three, "spent more time looking at the adult's discordant expression" shows that the babies learn from their parents reactions, as they expend effort to understand counterintuitive behavior. "Counterintuitive" is not the same as "fake" or "wrong".

So the "takeway" may in fact be the opposite of what the data suggests!

I don't mean to play devils advocate, but that doesn't seem like a valid counter. One of these novel technologies simply changes the expected modes and observed behaviors of people in "typical social scenarios" and naturally, as you point out, put a lot of people off center.

The latter allows you to actively interact with others around you, even if only through the passive act of stored video, which IMHO is more than just a change in social protocol.

No, because wealthy families are typically hit by AMT, not income tax, and mortgage interest is only deducted under income tax.

If by 'obtuse' you mean 'clear to anyone who has used iptables', sure. Sure, IPv6 would be nice, and it's probably not hard to add support for. Portability? You're talking about a Fedora-based Linux distribution and complaining that it might not be as portable as CoreOS, a completely custom distribution, running a Linux-only container system?! And "daemon-centric architecture", what the hell is that? Anything that sits in the background is a daemon. Considering it supports SELinux out of the box, and geard supports HTTP instead of unix socket controls, root isn't necessary or a safety concern. And what exactly is the problem with SSH access?
