I lost my best friend for several years after backstabbing him in a game of Diplomacy.
There are not, though I am building such a thing.

RF-equipped sensors (315 or 433 Mhz) transmitting to a GPRS or WiFi enabled hub would be best.

A fairly affordable foundation for that in Arduino-land would be the Fio or the LilyPad USB -- both of which have the LiPo charger.
Provided someone brought the kitchen with them, sure.

Though I think you may underestimate how easy it is to dodge relatively slow moving things in the sky. I could see that sort of thing being defeated by the operator flicking the drone up sharply when people start throwing stuff.
Great points :)

the underlying problem is one can form a centralized system on top of a decentralized one but not the other way around. the real problem is validation of the transactions included in the mined blocks and not pooled mining.
I consider Diplomacy to be a brilliant game on par with chess or go - the only modern game I hold in such high regard. It's extraordinary that it's so well-balanced. Even Italy, the weakest power, has a decent win rate in online play ratings. The rules, with nothing left to chance but no alternating turns, make the game far more unpredictable than you'd expect.

And in my experience, good Diplomacy players do very little lying or backstabbing. The compulsive liar types can't get the strong alliances that lead to traction. A two or three way alliance that culminates in a later betrayal are the way to win.
> Seriously? It makes it more difficult to get things right, but the risk of getting it wrong is not increased? And that after you just described how the challenges of JS have already directly led to vulnerabilities?

Well it seems that you misunderstood which challenges I was talking about. Lack of types is a big problem, but besides that everything else doesn't make the risk bigger.

> How exactly does a malicious server not affect "crypto browser apps"?

I didn't claim that malicious servers won't be able to affect crypto browser apps. What I said is that in these apps you have to trust the server already, so it doesn't make sense to consider them untrusted.

> How does staying out of scope for PCI DSS have anything to do with security (except maybe demonstrating that PCI DSS is crap because it can so easily be circumvented)?

It's exactly the point. When people say "javavascript crypto is harmful" they don't consider use cases where it's really useful, even just to circumvent PCI DSS.

> Also, in what kind of scenario would leaking info in a referer be a problem, but leaking the same info in encrypted form would not?

I don't understand this question.

> And how do you guarantee that your verification code is loaded fresh from the server once your application has been compromised in a browser?

Because every time I refresh my browser I get a chance to get some trusted code from the server.

>Oh.my.god. Can you really be so clueless as to use antibiotics overuse as an example of the BAD side of technology? I think I actually might die of laughter. It blows my mind that you don't realize that the worst-case scenario of antibiotics overuse is that every antibiotic will become useless...i.e. taking us back to the situation before antibiotics were developed. Your example of "a nightmare scenario of science and technology" is "going back to before this technological advance existed". If I wasn't convinced before, I'm 100% certain that you're truly way, way, way out of your depth when trying to comprehend this topic.

You keep writing insults and empty boasts. Is this for the good of the discussion, or so that you feel better for yourself? You could have answered the same thing as above without all the BS ad hominens -- which don't matter anyway, because your core logic is faulty. (Also, "oh.my.god"? Seriously? Are you like 12 years old?).

For one, the "worst case scenario" from overuse of antibiotics is not just "that every antibiotic will become useless".

You missed the whole part of the overuse having first created more-resistant strains -- and a humanity with less resistance from being over-dependent on antibiotics for all these decades.

So, no it's not just "back to square one". It's "back to square one with our shoelaces tied together and a tiger hunting us".

>Oh holy fuck what are you even saying. If unemployed dockworkers and taxi drivers become poor and needy, then _by definition they're covered by the robust safety net for the needy jesus christ_.

Only in some fantasy world where the "robust safety net" exists. In the real world, when they become poor and needy, e.g by taxi companies or competition squeezing their margins, they just become poor and needy, end of story.

>* How in God's name is that not completely addressed by "a robust safety net"? Shit it's the DEFINITION of "a robust safety net".*

I don't disagree with the "robust safety net".

I simply aknowledge that it doesn't exist.

Which means that in real life throwing whole professions to live with diminished wages and be taken advantage of because of their need is not automatically taken care of by any (non-existant) "safety net".

You cannot say some real and existing abuse is OK because those people can be taken care of because of an imaginary and not-yet-existing safety net.

Please read my comment and point out where I said that you typed "antibiotics" or any other term commonly understood to mean that class of drugs.

Or don't, because I didn't and you didn't and that's irrelevant.

The original post implies that American beef has added hormones and antibiotics compared to European beef, and the person posting considers that to be worse quality. A common concern is the addition of growth hormones and growth promoting antibiotics and the effect that might have in the food chain and the people eating it and so on.

Your statement that cows are animals with hormones doesn't touch on any of that, and your implication that people are only downvoting you because they think cows do not have hormones and refusing to prove you wrong because they're cowards is ridiculous trolling.

This map is useless. It shows net domestic migration, but has no information on international arrivals.

New York is growing even as the map says it's shrinking because it's the number one destination of foreign immigrants. We'd need to know a lot about foreign migration levels and education to make the kind of conclusions people are proposing from this map.

Really? They're all that equal? I haven't played much, but the little bit I have Austria always gets crushed.
I'd argue that Diplomacy is only a game for "nerds" in a rather peculiar sense. The people who are really good at it are those that are capable of lying/acting convincingly. Face to face, that's quite difficult and falls outside of the skill set of the classic nerd. Online games are another matter. Here, I think long range analysis combined with good writing skills matter more, although the social elements are still in play.
Yes, if this was a very high volatility bet with a low payout that can't be easily repeated it might not be arbitraged away efficiently.

But this should let you make predictions about literally every single company in the world if it's true. You can take it thousands of times, not once per year. So I don't think the situation you're positing applies here.

If CEO salary was a signal as to equity performance, you could make a "CEO salary weighted S&P index" that should outperform the S&P consistently. Which we don't observe. Therefore it probably isn't a signal. Or if it is a signal, it's very weak.
> we could of course try to (reaching here) argue that these SEO's improve google because they are forcing it to up its game but I think the web as a whole would be better off without all this crap.

The alternative is what, that the result you'd get for, I don't know, "home insurance" would be essentially random?

Google has some opinion on what properties the best result for that would have. Sites will naturally conform to the google policy (which is good when google promotes things that are good for the general web, like fast load times and accessible markup, and bad when google promotes things that are bad for the general web). The SEO industry just makes this process more efficient, meaning changes to what Google "wants" in results take effect faster. Even if Google's policies were effectively random (which I don't think they are), the worst-case result would be that businesses who paid attention to keeping their SEO up to date would appear higher in search results than businesses which didn't - which is at least some kind of barometer of a healthy business.
Not a bit. You'll get to watch the playing-out in your email, or on the board. And the level of secrets makes the playout so much more interesting!

If you're playing face to face and you see Russia and Germany go talk for ten of the fifteen minutes, it's no secret that they're working together. Online, it's much harder to tell.
You should look into A Game of Thrones: The Board Game. It's very similar to diplomacy at it's core, but has a bunch more going on. The people who just play the game mechanics tend to lose, and the people who build alliances, make deals, and break some of them at the right time are the ones who win.

It makes it to the table with my group of friends because it takes much less time to play than Diplomacy.

Just like Diplomacy, you may not want to play it with people who take the board game backstabbing stuff too seriously.

Credit cards have great fraud protection. My accounts even offer a "Dispute this charge" button right in the activity list. If someone steals my number, then I dispute the charge and ask them to mail me a new card.

What.. a "wiki" that isn't shared? (I can see it could be made to have server component, I like the idea of doing all rendering on client-side, why not?!) The rendering is unfortunately glitchy (FF30; sometimes the CSS seems to drop during load/link clicks) and the stack of various libraries used is so deep that it may well be difficult to find the cause? Sorry, that's presumptuous actually, but I sometimes wonder why small projects like this need this many libs:

This is a really moving story and not the only of its' kind, but I also worry that a lot of people are being turned onto what we call CBD-only medical marijuana legislation, which is unfortunate. It is possible that some states or municipalities which are / were / will be ready for broader measures will take the half-measure of legalizing CBD-only treatments.
I suppose I'm expected to give a full-throated defense of the Matasano post, which I wrote, but I'm not going to. While I don't dislike the post as much as this author appear to, I don't much like it either. I wrote it in a single draft, all at once, as a sort of message board comment I'd write once and maybe in the future refer back to. I didn't promote it on HN and I'm not the reason it keeps getting cited.

None of this bickering changes a simple truth: when a web mail provider claims to provide "NSA-proof" end-to-end encryption, hosted in Switzerland just to be safe, using software that you don't have to install on your computers at all, then you need to assume that web mail provider can read your email, and so can anyone who can coerce that provider into doing something. If you believe that --- and you should --- then I don't care what you think about the rest of the Matasano article.
I'm talking about a 100 person office, not some start-up living off VC. At 100 people, you're going to be spending $10m on salaries alone each year. $1.5m isn't nothing, but it's close. And for a company with 100 employees, a 10% gain for that price is worth every penny.

Mind you, the 10% figure is totally made up. Maybe it's 50%, maybe it's 0.5%. But if I had to guess a number, I'd call it 10% on average.
I imagine Safeway didn't want to take on the risk of trying to solve tricky problems, e.g., with inventory tracking. It might have legitimately made more sense for them to be conservative, since they had an existing business to manage. If internet groceries had turned out to be easy, they'd have a piece. Observing what Safeway didn't try could have been a key piece of Instacart's success.
The wide open places where there is no major city lack major cities because they are unsuitable sites. There isn't enough fresh water and/or the energy demands of logistics are unfeasible.

The ecology and quality of life will continue to degrade.

> > It still might protect you if you won't access server while it's compromised.
> The end user can't know when that's the case.

This is the entire point of the article. You can't know if it's the case, you can't either with any software distribution. When you type 'apt-get install opensshd', how do you know if you're getting the package from an uncompromised server?

You just have to trust that the public keys you got are the right ones, and their private keys have not been stolen.

So what the author is saying is that regarding that aspect web crypto is at roughly the same level.

The big problem of course is that there is evidence that the whole CA system is much less reliable than the old GPG signing party system.

Another point for distributed version control systems. If the server hosting my repository exploded I'd have the entire repo on my computer.

Why hosted subversion is a thing, I don't know. It's a horrendous experience once you introduce any latency between the client and server.
How about, instead of arguing that readers of an article are more convinced than they should be about something you yourself appear to be convinced of, you put your money where your mouth is and formulate an argument for a setting in which content-controlled browser Javascript is a sensible place to deploy cryptography. Give yourself the full benefit of every facility the web programming model gives you, up to the limit of installing browser extensions (at which point you're no longer talking about content-controlled code). What's a system like this that has worked well, and would be resilient to a determined adversary?

They did an exceptionally poor job of defining metro areas. Separating Greenville and Spartanburg SC is dubious on its own but defining "Greenville" as the unimaginably small city plus the two smallest suburbs is a bit ludicrous. I know several companies that have individually relocated more employees to the region than this map credits for the whole metro area.

South Carolina has some weird outliers in terms of city limits and Greenville is one of them. The city itself is only 26.1 square miles and is mostly commercially zoned.

There's a comment in the article about how the game brings out people's "true" personality. I disagree with that, as I think that optimizing your score in a game needn't/shouldn't have anything to do with personality, but for whatever reasons it's a common reaction people have when playing the game. "Oh, this person is truly truly horrible and I never realized until now." That kind of thinking generally leads to unrecoverable breakdowns in real world relations.
