The first one would be a little bothersome... but as much (or more) from a personal safety aspect than a privacy aspect. I would feel just as uncomfortable if the person was just following me and not even recording my movements. The physical presence of some one and their close proximity all the time would make me nervous about physical harm coming to me.

The second one would be much less bothersome but I would still feel a little uncomfortable about it. Being singled out would be curious. And while it would not be the same person the whole time, we still have the physical presence and close proximity focused solely on me that would make nervous about physical harm.

So a third scenario: rather than one person following you, it was one guy on every street corner, who collaborated to reconstruct the paths everyone walked, and kept a record. This scenario is much more akin to that of the article.

I would hardly care. Sure there is still the physical presence but it is not focused solely on me. I would be much more at ease knowing that each person standing there, noting the paths of everyone that walks by, doesn't actually care about me individually. If they are not concerned about me then they are far less likely to cause me harm.

Parking enforcement has used License Plate Recognition tech for quite a while. They drive around and it records plate, location, time, etc. If your vehicle is in violation of the local parking limits, it sounds an alarm and they stop and issue you a ticket. They can also detect if your vehicle is in need of a boot/tow due to excessive tickets, etc. Just because they have records of where and when you parked, doesn't mean they are "tracking" you.
SPKI/SDSI: A 1999 alternative to X.509 and PGP
Well, technically after a fork you have access to all the childs memory pages, they're identical to your own (that is, until any writes happen, usually that's when copies are made and each process ends up with a different version of that page). But then the 'exec' bit happens and it's a completely new process. Any access to memory of the child process thereafter would be through some deliberate mechanism unless there is a significant issue with the underlying operating systems ability to keep processes where they belong (separated).

The whole idea is that processes have separate memory spaces, debuggers, shared memory applications and IPC implementation work hard to do this on purpose.

If sshd really had unfettered access to its child processes then so would every other process that spawns some new process, init comes to mind as a nice candidate, cron as another (though neither exposes network sockets).

Of course, a process running as 'root' has technically access to all the other processes memory through (on Linux) /dev/mem (phys) and /dev/kmem (virt) but you have to open it first and as far as I'm aware sshd does not do this.
I've taken a bit of time to look through the new sidebar icons feature, and explained how it's working http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15971

For everyone who is saying "oh, how big can a sidebar icon implementation be????" well read one of my forum replies: http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=15915&s...

There is more to it that just adding an icon, I'm sure.
It's entirely possible for someone to use multiple search engines that aren't already predefined. Step outside of your power-user mindset for a second and realize there are "normal" people in this world, unlike you and I, who don't know VIM keybindings or what predefined search engines are and just want to play around with a new search engine.
Good point, although it's not like the stock protobuf implementation (rather than protocol) is the best that can be had. For example, this implementation of protobuf deserialization is quite a bit faster:

I also like the new design a lot, though I do agree to some extent about the contrast issue. On a retina monitor it's no worries, but on my external it could probably suffer greater contrast :)

Most sensible people see that it's a bad idea, and they can see this today (if not yesterday). This isn't the kind of thing that requires hindsight to see that it's a bad idea through and through.

If anything should be questioned in hindsight, it should be why so many managers and executives allowed designers to seriously submit such bad ideas for consideration, never mind allowing such unusable designs to actually be implemented.

All of what @ rcamera said.

I really like the current visuals and layout much better than the beta, particularly the contrast and blue links. I also like the favicon to the left of the page title in results.

I actually like the instant suggestions. And I like the "Images" and "Video" buttons at the top, HOWEVER I'm a massive !bang! fan, and will differ to !i and !v. Although I would prefer that both methods go to a generic images and video searches (as opposed to Google Images and YouTube). ALSO, for me when I roll over a link I want to see the url in the bottom of my browser (forgetting what Firefox calls this) and I'm not getting it with the new layouts Video suggestions.
The programming calligraphy is amazing. I wish there were a service which could produce beautiful Arabic calligraphy out of code, although I guess it's not a mechanical process.

I can see just as many results, if not more, in the new redesign on an initial search. see here: http://i.imgur.com/nBPQ01e.png?1?3589

As you scroll down you see about 50px less vertically devoted to results, a tradeoff easily outweighed by the top suggestion toggle drawer thingy awesomeness.
Kudos for playing it safe, this does open you up to the possibility of being DOS'd with fake vulnerabilities whilst exploiting a real one.
Driving in Göteborg is by no means a piece of cake. Unlike most American cities, there are a lot of pedestrians and bicycles, plus trams, and by necessity they sometimes take priority over car traffic.

However, one major traffic simplification in Europe is that there is no such insanity as "go ahead and turn right even when the light is red -- and run over crossing pedestrians unless they back off."

The car has to account for human beings holding up signs, e.g. accident sites, temporary construction, or school crossing guards.

This functionality is demonstrated in one of the more recent ridealongs of Google's car.
I wished moxie would have discussed more the group management aspects.

> Anyone can create a group, name it, give it an avatar icon, add members, and then everyone can chat together with a normal asynchronous experience.

Does this mean that any group member can add more members? Are there any IRC-like moderation features (even planned?), eg. privileged members who can remove users from group? Is there support for persistent groups (ie IRC channel equivalents)?
> 1. What is TextSecure's business model? Who pays for the server infrastructure?

It's a good question. TextSecure is not a business, so we don't really have a business model in the traditional sense. Open Whisper Systems is a collective project made up of volunteers and a growing number of contributors, who are sometimes paid by donations (https://whispersystems.org/blog/bithub/) and grants.

Thus far, we've been able to smoothly fund the server infrastructure through grants and donations as well. I think we'll probably be able to continue that way indefinitely, but if that ever changed for any reason, we would consider charging small amounts for premium or high cost features like extremely large attachments. But in general, Open Whisper Systems is a project rather than a company, and the project's objective is not financial profit. I know that's a difficult thing to explain.

> 2. Doesn't WhisperSystems belong to Twitter? Twitter is a US-company (and also part of the NSA stuff), so why should I use that kind of software?

This is also confusing, but Open Whisper Systems is not Whisper Systems. Open Whisper Systems has no relationship with Twitter at all, and is a different organization that came together to facilitate development of the Whisper Systems software which was released under GPLv3. Twitter has never contributed money or resources to Open Whisper Systems, and is not in control of any of the infrastructure.

That's ridiculous. In the 1970s, Chinese birth rate was ~5/woman [1]. It turns out that dynamic systems change with time.

I enjoy swimming several times a week to rejuvenate my senses, obtain mental clarity and stay in shape. The swimming pool is the one of the few places where there are no everyday problems, no stress and most importantly, no phones. Everyone is just swimming.

Give it a try and you'll find it's a uniquely rewarding activity, in part because it is so hard to make progress at first and you really have to work at it. But like most things in life, trusting your strength and putting in the effort will get you there even if you swallow a bit of chlorine on the way.

You think I'm being more charitable to the US than I am. I'm implying that white people in the US aren't hypersensitive to racial stuff, which makes "Uncle Tom's" associations all the more significant.
Low spoke count wheels, like these, have substantially more material in the rim in order to make the rim stiff enough for the large gaps between spokes to work at all.

All that's needed is for all three spokes to have equal tension (and no excessive forces applied) and the wheel should stay true.

That's fantastic.

I'd been thinking about modifying an emulator to do automatic speedrun splits based on changes in memory. Many of the people who'd most appreciate that kind of thing prefer to speedrun on original hardware, though, and a lot of them would be happy to pay for modifications like this - as many have, e.g., paid to have their 3DS modded with HDMI output.
So, there are usually four sshd processes involved in handling a connection:

1 - master sshd, listens for incoming connections. When it accepts one it forks and executes a new sshd to handle it. It executes a new sshd to ensure that each one gets different runtime randomisations (ASLR mappings, PRNG state, etc.)

2 - privileged sshd. This is the result of the fork+exec of (1) above. It does absolutely no packet processing and exists only to perform options that require privilege or access to sensitive data (e.g. the host keys). As soon as it starts, it forks an unprivileged process.

3 - pre-auth sshd. This is the first unprivileged process forked by #2. It is responsible for packet processing and most crypto (except that which touches sensitive data). This process runs in chroot, In recent OpenSSH versions, this process is sandboxed using systrace, seccomp-bpf, OS X seatbelt or (if none of these are supported) restrictive rlimits. It exits as soon as the user is authenticated.

4 - post-auth sshd. This is forked from the #2 process after authentication completes. It runs with the privileges of the user and handles network packets and crypto much like #3.

Most of this (except the re-exec and sandboxing) is described in Niels Provos' original privsep paper: http://www.citi.umich.edu/u/provos/ssh/privsep.html
Thanks, and sure thing!
Downloaded! This will be a great template for an app I plan on building.
I think you'll probably want to remove those font-size adjustments and re-assess afterwards. You'll find that the majority of the redesign is indeed sized with ems, including all text sizes. You'll also want to adjust #header_wrapper to position:absolute if you deice that you're not going to use the settings to disable the fixed header behaviour - setting static without adjusting the settings will be unpleasant. To be safe, in case you want to play with the header settings later, you probably want to actually make that selector `.set-header--fixed .header-wrap { position: absolute' }`
Netcraft Site Report for http://redir.opera.com
Could this be a feature that is disabled by default, but that can be easily enabled if a user does wish to use it?

I don't know the best way to do this, but I'm thinking a checkbox somewhere near the search bar, or perhaps a prefix similar to "g!" that'll enable it for any further text that's entered, or something along those lines.
IMO this isn't implausible - if I were making a single-file exploit then I'd probably just include most of OpenSSH in that single file.
FounderLine – LIVE webcast for startup founders
It isn't clear whether that is on a specific port or every port. The documentation[1] makes it look like it's on a specific port since it requires a target port to run. If it's on a specific port, you might want to multiply 45 minutes with 65535, if not I'm impressed. Thanks for sharing, I had not heard about ZMap before.

[1] https://zmap.io/documentation.html

EDIT: The research paper says that it's on a particular port, from page 3: "The architecture allows sending and receiving components to run asynchronously and enables a single source machine to comprehensively scan every host in the public IPv4 address space for a particular open TCP port in under 45 mins using a 1 Gbps Ethernet link."

I know you meant this as a joke.. however, Volvo cars do watch for pedestrians and automatically stop for them if needs be.

Portuguese - native speaker

Spanish - I used to spend my summer vacations as a child, quite close to Spain, which allowed me to follow Spanish TV (80's no cable back then) and have a few Spanish friends

French - Three years at high school in Portugal. Lived in France for a couple of years while working at CERN.

English - Five years at high school. Reading English since the late 80's, as a way to get information about ZX Spectrum and similar systems in Portugal. Local press was quite limited. Working in international environments since I graduated.

German - Living in Germany since a few years. Always took care to learn the language.

Italian - Thanks to my knowledge with the other Latin languages, Italian friends, occasional vacations in Italy and lots of books and movies in Italian

Plus ability to understand Catalan, Galician and Mirandese.

It's not a bad thing for this specific article, no, but if going to the press becomes a dispute resolution strategy, that'd certainly be a bad thing for the health of Wikipedia as a whole.

That said, I don't think the blog post author did anything wrong or anything. Her experience sounds like it could have been a frustrating one. I just don't particularly believe the general conclusions that are quick to be drawn from these one-off experiences about the health of Wikipedia and its viability as an encyclopedia.

Two questions: Currently, bitcoin transactions don't have any transaction fees. In this case, where are these 'mined' coins coming from? Is it by adding a transaction from 'the ether' to the miner?

Also, if there are transaction fees but the person who verifies the block adds their own fee to the block, what's stopping them from verifying that Alice and Bob have offered the miner a transaction fee of 100 BTC instead of 1 BTC?

Everything I know is from the documents, papers and videos that I manage to scrap from the Internet.

My experience with Oberon, lead me to track down how Wirth learned about such systems.

Additionally, I got to learn Smalltalk in the form of VisualWorks before Java was known to the world.

So I extrapolate my experience to how it might have felt back then and find it sad we are still trying rediscover it.

Not yegg, but if you store a database of queries, along with frequencies, you can do a prefix match on what's already in the search box and return that. I'm speculating that DDG does something that.

> AMD has given the ARM core the code-name K12. I'm not sure whether that name also applies to the x86 core.

I hope not. They would be doing themselves a disservice by trying to confuse their customers by calling 2 very different chips the same (which they're already doing with their upcoming ARM server chips). Don't try to "hide" the ARM cores behind the x86 chip brand, like you're ashamed of them. OWN them. Be proud of them and what they can deliver for the power/performance/cost (and if there's nothing to be proud of, then why bother making them?)
