Well, the reality is that until we get memory implants this will still be a concern, and it would be ideal if options start being explored now. It's certain that between now and then there will most likely be a more developed ethical and legal framework for this.
no worries. Anyone that uses shibboleth correctly in a sentence is fine by me.
I don't get why companies like this can charge a percentage equal to the credit card fee. If you pay 6% + $0.30 (on low ticket items, $0.30 could add additional few percent), but your margin is, let's say, 20%, you literally need to pay a third of your margin for processing. If you sell your old shoes or something that doesn't cost you anything but your time, then it's okay, but all these marketplaces literally are saying: "Low-volume low-margin merchants are not welcome!"

I'm sure you realize this, but to clarify a bit for the parent commenter: Although the URL is encrypted, anyone watching the connections on the network can still tell what IP address you're connecting to and usually be able to infer the domain name from the IP address.

To state it simple terms: HTTPS protects the URL and all the contents of the connection, but does not protect the fact that you're connecting to a particular domain, the duration of the connection, and the volume of data.
Can't tell if this is a serious reply, but it seems to go against the conclusion of F8 where Mark said, "My goal for our culture over the next 10 years is to build a culture of loving the people that we serve that is as strong if not stronger than our culture of hacking at Facebook."

I'm just starting to learn PHP, and I noticed that recently there have a few new books about Laravel. So, it seems to be the "new hot thing" in PHP.

To a newbie, would you recommend Symfony, or Laravel?

Being Open to Life's Happenings
As a mexican, living in Mexico I can only say this:
Mexico is heading towards something really unique in the world... something like the movie "the village". If you remember in "The Village", the people that lived there never knew nothing about the outside world... or that they were an experiment. Firstly, there is a bill to kill analog tv transmissions and be replaced by digital transmissions, which is funny because most of the population do not own a new T.V nor a Digital Receiver in order to view digital T.V. Secondly, this bill plans to shut down the internet whenever the government feels it necessary, which is also funny since it already controls Media ( or should i say Media controls the government?) and we have seen it many times on presidential elections.

This editor is having a couple of bad days. Here is my good faith effort. I think this editor had something bad happen in their personal life that made them very mean and vindictive. This editor has been using terse, aggressive, rude language towards other users, in addition to the edit discussed here. I would like to see this arbitrated at a higher level. This user should be given a week off and recommended to take a spa vacation and read Covey's note on “It's All Over” Syndrome. Then, all should be forgiven, forgotten, and we can all go forward. This is my hope.
TextSecure groups are fully egalitarian. Anyone may add members and no one may force an existing member to leave. There are no privileged members.

A group conversation persists locally on your own device unless you delete it, just like a normal conversation. The server does not store any records representing the group, so there's nothing to persist beyond the clients.

There is no plan to change these properties, afaik.
The nice thing about using low level debugging tools is that they are a quick way to get a sense of the problem before you need to start thinking about it. When you are staring at their output trying to figure out what the problem is, then you may be doing something wrong.

> If it's on a specific port, you might want to multiply 45 minutes with 65535, if not I'm impressed.

You're not? I am. Or would be if this wasn't known info yet.

Think about it for a bit - you can narrow down your search area quite a bit by excluding huge swaths of the Internet such as consumer ISPs. Focus on the target-rich environments like EC2 space, hosting providers, enterprises, etc. You also can not scan any unassigned v4 space (admittedly getting smaller), multicast addresses, RFC1918, etc. The usable pool of v4 is actually quite a bit smaller than 32 bits, and the interesting parts are even less. I would be surprised if you couldn't come up with a list of interesting space to scan that you couldn't do within 15 minutes per port. You aren't using this tool to pwn Joe nerd who runs a Linux NAT box off his cable modem.

From there, you just need a few hundred compromised servers (not difficult this day in age) and you can probably scan the entirety of "rich" space on all ports rather quickly via a distributed manner.

The only downside is such scans tend to generate complaints, so you'll need to balance your loss of compromised hosts with the expected payoff.

I think the constant non-zero skip rate throughout the entire song length is explained by people who would have skipped the song at the beginning but who weren't present when the song started (e.g. they went to the kitchen to get a drink). These people would skip the song as soon as they get back, which could be at any point within the song.
Dylan16807 is correct. You can't forge transactions. You can create an alternative history, but each transaction still requires holding the necessary private key to sign the transaction. If you're trying to make up new transactions out of whole cloth, you can only do so if they're transactions that you could have otherwise legitimately created.

What the 51% attack lets you do is remove transactions, which lets you double-spend. And of course there may be other benefits too. For example, if someone is using the blockchain for purposes other than sending money to people (e.g. notarizing a document, proxy transactions that represent movement of physical goods, etc) then removing transactions may be beneficial without double-spending.

As a new programmer I'd say there's an aspect that you're ignoring. The need to take reasonable steps, and to know if not your limitations at least where you stand.

You want to take the next step that has enough familiar aspects that you can acclimate reasonably quickly and build non-trivial programs (the fun part) in a reasonable amount of time. But also different enough that you're exposed to new concepts and new ways of thinking about programming, and also to have access to a more powerful language.

Simply diving head first into a powerful but completely foreign language might not be the best way. Coding can be as frustrating as it is rewarding. And there's something to be said for trying to maximize the rewards and minimizing the frustrations.
If you care to look, you'll notice that Arabic only has 28 letters in its alphabet, plus a few more vowel marks.
It's extremely rare for a company to call out a former executive like this. On the other hand, it's extremely rare for an executive to go on a twitter rampage whilst "tired and emotional".

Also, it's really interesting how many senior corporate executives, politicians, etc. seem to be prone to manic-depressive episodes.
The congestion in the news is at the interconnection between networks, not the last mile. This is why Netflix's deal with Comcast resulted in immediate relief without a massive rollout to upgrade last mile infrastructure.

Cable providers have a large amount of capacity provisioned to their customers and are paid a fortune by their subscribers and municipalities, using the same network for data and cable services. They just want you to use their services as opposed to a competitor. Not only that they have turned the tables forcing content providers to pay them to deliver bits.

With respect the economics of a small ISP reselling transit aren't comparable to this situation.
Other than the spiral flexures that NASA uses this seems to be rather unique in that shock is absorbed in two dimensions rather than one. No matter from what direction jerk is applied the wheel will absorb it in the same or a similar direction rather than just absorbing the vector component that is along the direction of a linear shock absorber.

That means it will absorb more of the shock and be more comfortable. If people know of another mechanism that has this characteristic I'd love to know about it.
Tired and emotional? More like drunk off his ass in the French Quarter.

Mexican here.

This is a big deal for us. The PRI party who was ousted in year 2000 after 70 years ruling Mexico, just regained power in 2012 after using all their corruption, media and populism machinery.

Our president is (or pretends to be) an idiotic ignorant who can't name three books he has ever read. His only opposition comes from social media, twitter and Facebook because he pretty much has all the traditional media in his pocket.

El PRI has an historic record of being trigger happy against their enemies even when these are unarmed students (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tlatelolco_massacre) so it is obvious that he wants to control, censor and shut-down the internet.

> Many have been where you are now, and then moved on to other languages to never ever look back. From what I've seen, the reverse is much less common.

I really doubt that. In my experience there haven't been a single time when someone attacking PHP actually knew something about it that wasn't outdated by at least 5 years.

It's funny how difficult it is for people like you to grasp that the language and its ecosystem evolves every day, much faster than other languages. Just look at what you just said. How can someone have been where I am right now? They used a time machine? Or you are assuming that the language stopped evolving at some point, or never evolved at all in the first place?
It's much more complex than that with all the various ligatures, combining forms, diacriticals, etc, not to mention another 50 or so characters that are used in other lanaguges that use the arabic script, but aren't arabic-the-language.
Top things to do after setting up EC2 AWS server?

>A big annoyance is it's interaction with git. If you regenerate the output, git interprets that as a big file change, and the repository gets polluted with nonsense commits. There are workarounds, but none are perfect.

This is probably one of the workarounds you're thinking of, but I clear the output and use a precommit hook to make sure I haven't missed any cells. It's a bit annoying, but it works. I'm waiting for the day VCS integration is built-in. For now, I enjoy having my notes and code together and versioned.
The top three things to do after setting up ec2 server is setup a username password login and enable lamp web server as well as to assign a domain name
Setup password login

Login to your EC2 via ssh

ssh -i /path/to/your/Awskey.pem ubuntu@54.84.42.20 then set

sudo adduser alex Set a password

sudo visudo Add this line

alex ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL Beneath the root ALL=(ALL):ALL line, and ctrl x to exit and enter y to save

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config Find this line and modify it to say yes

PasswordAuthentication yes Then exit and save with ctrl+x and press y to save

sudo service ssh restart Now you can login as ssh alex@54.84.42.20

Setup websites

If you've just booted your ec2 server, you will need to first update packages before you can use them

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade Type y when asked to install.

sudo tasksel install lamp-server Create mysql root passwords when asked

Now open permissions to your root folder

sudo chmod 777 /var/www In order to enable .htaccess on ubuntu server, type

sudo a2enmod rewrite Then type

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf or

Make these modifications, change AllowOverride to All and ErrorLog to use the /var/www root. If you can't find these here, check the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file

AllowOverride All

ErrorLog /var/www/error.log Ctrl+X and y to save

To install phpmyadmin, type

sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin Then press space to asterisk apache2, tab and enter, then yes and set a password for the phpmyadmin to access the databases. Now accessible at siteip/phpmyadmin

In the AWS EC2 Instance console, make sure the security group assigned to your instance has under the inbound tab port 80 HTTP enabled. Only port 22 is open by default. Find out your security group name listed when you click on your instance, then go to the Security Groups link on the sidebar of ec2 and modify that security group by clicking on it, inbound tab, edit, add rule, select http. Now when you click on your ec2 instance it shows a Public DNS like this ec2-54-85-204-200.compute-1.amazonaws.com, type that into your URL bar and you should be able to see index.html located on /var/www

when you login, if you want the default directory to always be /var/www then type

sudo nano ~/.bashrc And add to the very bottom:

cd /var/www Register a domain

Go to your ec2 manager and click elastic IPs on the sidebar, Allocate a new address, then associate address and select your running instance to be associated with that address. Test it out by typing that ip address into your url box, index.html should show up.

Now go to Route 53 under the aws console dropdown and click Create Hosted Zone, name it your site's name .com, then go to record sets, create record set Type: A with the Value of the Elastic IP you got before.

Now copy the Name Server values, which look like ns-1877.awsdns-42.co.uk. ns-1149.awsdns-15.org. ns-923.awsdns-51.net. ns-216.awsdns-27.com.

Go to godaddy or 1and1 and buy a domain for $10, then under DNS management for that site domain, edit DNS servers to be custom and enter all four of those Name servers. Give it an hour for it to update redirection.
Congrats on the launch!

Reading his current Twitter feed, this reminds me of something a friend of mine went through several years ago. We weren't in very good contact at the time and he told me about it later, but the way his psychiatrist described it to him it was a mental break that resulted in him acting like some sort of billionaire business tycoon, only without any actual money. E.g. making ridiculously bold claims, offering people massive job opportunities when there is actually no money to pay for them, etc. During this time he sent me a Facebook message telling me to get on the next plane to London because he was assembling a team to create a new business and offered me 10 times my salary at that time. Obviously I declined and asked if he was okay, at which point he simply ignored me and continued on that path. Eventually he got help.

Anyway, might not be the same thing, and I don't know what the "official" name for it is, but this stream of tweets definitely sounds exactly like what my friend was saying at the time.
Kudos to David Marcus for this smart, no-bullshit reaction. We need more human material and less PR shit from CEOs.

I understand that junior employees can sometimes go publicly against the company they just left, but that's really not something you expect from somebody who is supposed to be a seasoned, professional exec. Good luck for the rest of your career, Rocky, you'll need a lot of that -- which CEO is the world is willing to hire you again?
> Except that, and all similar statements, are pretty much talking about a slippery slope within a single body politic.

Is it? Can it not ever apply beyond that? Did the poet make it clear that it only applies to a single body politic?

> Nothing makes conservative Americans more upset than hearing Central or South American leaders lecture the United States on policy.

Is it that important when it upsets some people? Besides some of their lectures are valid especially the ones concerning narcotics legalization.

> We should be cautious about lecturing or trying to influence other countries.

Looking at your previous example, I feel that you're confusing a non-profit organization with the US government.

Are you saying that the EFF should just give up and quit because the challenge / problem is too difficult?

Does this really matter? A victory is still a victory no matter how small. I also doubt that the EFF is expending as much resources for this as they would for a SOPA or TPP. Using this logic should people stop fighting for civil liberties in small towns since they're not as big or important as big metros?
