TLS is actually not glued to x.509 certificates, and certainly not to ones chained to the public CA system. DANE TLSA <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6698> for example provides for a way to pin them to DNSSEC, whether in addition to or instead of the CA system.

Other ways of keying may become available in the future, especially as we go through TLS 1.3 to future versions.
The iPad Air 32gb is $599.

The Acer C720 Chromebook, 32gb, 11.6" screen, is $229 (and very well reviewed on Amazon).

Acer charges $50 to double your storage, Apple charges $100.

The next generation of Chromebooks are likely to commonly be at or near 14" screens at $300 or under.
iPads are really useful for kids in the K-3 or so age range, especially in the lower band. However, once the kids get to 4th and 5th grade they need to start writing more and that's where the full keyboard and ability to create content makes a Chromebook a better decision.

My company works on products that help kids increase cognitive skills and overcome issues such as auditory processing disorders and with the younger kids the touch aspect of tablets has made them superior to laptops either with mice or touchpads because touch is just a simpler motor skill for these younger kids. As they get older however this advantage starts to disappear.

Basically the trend I think that will play out is that you see a mix of devices with iPads predominantly at the lower grade bands and Chromebooks in the mid to upper grade bands. Chromebooks are nearly disposable at their price point, are incredibly easy to manage compared to Windows machines or iPads and do 95% or more of what kids need to use devices for at school.
This seems very similar to things like Coin[1] where it's a solution for now, rather than the future.

I use swipe on my phone, it's great.

But I can't type 60+ WPM on a phone with 99.9% accuracy, like I can on a proper keyboard...

Typing is still so, so much quicker and more accurate...

I think, again like patio11, I need to write my own blog post on this to get my thoughts straight and valid.

I guess my point is that a "normal" currency is used primarily within one country for all manner of "normal" transactions, and yet has a liquid exchange market where people want to trade with members of this currency.

Bitcoin has some issues in this regard - half of all BTC transactions in 2013 were on one gambling site, I honestly don't know what the total trade value is not the total exchange liquidity / value but my "feel" is people are either staying in currency or cashing out.

As for buying a new appreciation asset with the profits on my last appreciation asset - well, Ethereum feels like a bubble feeding another bubble, no matter what it's inherent properties might be.

But like I said I am getting upvotes and downvotes all
Over this issue and should back out and go do more research
I gave my 61 yr-old Mom a Chromebook.

Gets the job done for her and pretty happy with it.

Unless the students have a mouse plugged in to their chromebooks, it's more of a comparison between a touchscreen and a touchpad. If the comparison is between two methods where you're dragging a finger around, I think that a touchscreen makes sense to have. You lose the precision of the cursor (and the convenience of the buttons), but you have a more interactive experience, which I imagine is especially convenient for younger students.
May I recommend that instead of relying on someone's third-hand interpretation in Wikipedia, you prefer to refer to the underlying source, or better yet since that source is itself only a meta-analysis in this case, to the original primary research?

For example, what the meta-analysis paper actually says is:

"From our analyses, in-vehicle (passenger) conversations were just as costly to driving performance as were remote (cell phone) conversations. This suggests that passengers, at least in those studies explored here, did not moderate their conversation in such a way as to alleviate the costs (as compared with remote conversers). These results must be interpreted with caution, however, given that relatively few studies directly examined the impact of passenger conversations."

If you look at their table of the original research they are working from, you can clearly see why they included that cautionary note.

Alternatively, a few minutes with Google Scholar will get you numerous primary sources that show a clear distinction between the effects of remote conversation and the effects of passenger interaction. Some studies suggest that passengers who don't moderate their conversation still have a negative effect, but hardly anyone has data that implies an effect as bad as cell phone conversations. Other studies found evidence that passengers can also be a benefit, for example warning an insufficiently attentive driver of a hazard they had failed to recognise themselves.

There is unfortunately not very much research into more specific conditions when passengers may prove to be a particularly serious distraction. For example, we know that young and inexperienced drivers are disproportionately likely to have accidents, but we don't yet know for sure whether passengers of a similar age are disproportionately likely to be a significant distraction. There is some evidence to suggest that this is at least a plausible theory, and in some places young and inexperienced drivers are now limited in the passengers they can take when they first start driving unsupervised.

This is really great.. Very well thought of UI (love that the left playlist pan is always on even through account registration).

One thing I'd like to see is the ability to add single (or multiple) track(s) from the playlist that you created for me to my own curated list (without having to add the whole list).
If you use Google Drive, you can have your whole life, all your files, pictures, etc.... accessible with a simple login across all your devices. Google's Cloud services are second to none, iCloud doesn't compare.

Since Chromebooks encourage you to work entirely in the cloud, you can have access to all your school work by simply logging in to Drive...
That's something the browsers are going to deal with. Chrome and Firefox have explicitly said they'll require HTTP/2 over TLS, full-stop.

The big pushbacks came mostly from middlebox-makers, proxies and the like. Unsurprising.

The market will decide. I'm sure the remaining browsers will make their own decisions, and I expect Opera and IE to fall on the TLS side, and then the decision will be effectively made.

The TLS WG will watch the result with interest, I'm sure, looking forward into TLS 1.4/2.0/whatever...
It is one or the other.
Car sharing services in France are incredibly popular, everyone uses them. This is partly because the government has a monopoly and keeps the trains expensive, and stops buses from running. In the UK, buses are the way to go, you get very cheap buses if you book in advance.

Talking on a cell phone while driving is not illegal in some states (I'd venture to guess most). Also, in some states where it is banned, it's still allowed for people who drive as part of their job. When I was delivering pizza, something like this would have been a gamechanger.

TL;DR; We still have human zoos.

Contrary to popular belief, living in these societies would not be a fun experience. Well if you're a strong man happy to live to 50 they might be ok. To bad if you're a women.

But we allow them to continue by actively prohibiting people from helping them purely for our rich persons entertainment.
Absolutely everywhere you use HTTP now. It's never worse than plaintext, and it's an effective replacement for it.

Encrypted-untrusted prevents mass passive surveillance, and requires it to be active MITM. And - as I've pointed out on the TLS WG list a few times - if an attacker can't tell you're being opportunistic, they might not be willing to risk being detected. We can make them take that risk by reducing the visible distinguishers there.
This reminds me of Via[0]:

"Shared rides in a premium SUV or Mercedes van.
As fast as a taxi at a fraction of the price."

All of the competition in ride sharing has been great in the Bay Area. UberX is sometimes in a price range closer to riding the bus or BART.

Reposting my review of Ethereum from Quora:

Ethereum has been described by core developers as oil to Bitcoin's gold. it is similar to other metacoins in that it acts as superlayer that empowers the blockchain, that is something like when Javascript was added onto HTML.

It empowers an immense number of custom applications on top of the blockchain, for purposes as diverse as contracts, derivatives, custom currencies, and filesharing. As Robert Ver said recently in Miami, if it works it is at least as innovative as Bitcoin itself.

Enthusiasm is high because, unlike Bitcoin, there is immediate use value for ether within the Ethereum network. All of the applications built in ethereum consume amounts of ether along with their computational cycles.

For folks looking at things from a macroeconomic standpoint, this makes Ethereum perhaps the most interesting of the new cryptocurrencies, because among other things. there is immediate use value for ether outside of trading, mining, and the other standard features of the first generation of cryptocurrencies.

Is it Bitcoin 2.0? Time will tell.

I was on the same plan. To top it all off the ISP was named Skynet.

Yes, from a data modeler's perspective it is definitely orthogonal.

From an evidence-based perspective though, a full "chain of custody" has to be maintained (as far as alterations go), providence of information can be very important.

If you care about reproducibility, how raw data has been manipulated from the original, you'd better have some record of it.

For date-times almost all public datasets standardize on ISO8601. Any datetimes captured by persons or processes which aren't working in UTC from the very beginning will have the TZ offset in it.

Normalizing to UTC is up to the data consumer to do as they please, but some get very upset if you try to say that an event was recorded as happening at 03:00 if the person or process actually recorded 13:00+10:00. It may seem subtle and boring and pointless, but the fact is that you may be seen to be changing the facts.
Exactly: I believe that's actually the plan from browser-makers, that the "S" designates not whether you want to use encryption, but whether the encryption will be required to be trusted. We'll see what actually happens.

Going forward hopefully TLS 1.3 or a later version will be able to encrypt enough of the exchange that a passive sniffer can't necessarily tell between 2 or 3 - hopefully they won't be able to see the certificate, or there'll be a way to negotiate an anonymous DH as a minimum that an attacker cannot observe (without that in place right now, I've argued against aDH remaining in TLS 1.3).
I don't think I agree with Opinatus, but they're definitely not claiming that.
John Oliver did a bit in his wealth gap segment where he mentioned that, in the US, estate taxes are exempt even to children on amounts up to 5 million, and up to 10 million if it's a couple leaving the amount to their children.

General searching around turns up these numbers here and there as well. Assuming that is in fact true, _most_ people shouldn't be giving up anything in estate taxes.
Its a bug in the isight firmware. theyre not magically disabling hardware :) its neat but it only works on a very specific camera module.
You're reading too much into this, I was just throwing up other examples of other minority use cases.

But, if we assume using Steam (arbitrary) as the benchmark for being somewhat serious about gaming, then there are 75 million[0] computer gamers. Compare that to the number of Windows users[1] at 1.5 billion and they are a definite minority outside the realm of a 'typical computer user'.

And if I had to guess and why your comment is being down voted, it's probably because it comes across as a bit nitpicky as gaming very obviously isn't the focus of a Chromebook.

Bayer sells a lot of Aspirin. It's clearly in their interest. They even have a site called wonderdrug.com just for it.

It's also in the interest of generic Aspirin makers to prove such.

Competing interests exist in a free market and counter the problem you contend.
That would be interesting if that ever happens ;) It certainly could, eventually, although you can use this only once...
Mind if I ask which model? I had a chromebook 3 years ago and found it too slow to do anything beyond basic usage, and especially not software development. I have however heard good things about the Pixel.
Well, currently I am more interested rambling around different things. Recently, I created a whistle detector in JS[1] and it was quite an effort since it involved comprehending a research paper and learning & implementing DSP concepts but I enjoyed it. So, I more interested in creating small challenging things rather than Apps in XYZ framework.

Its not that I hate the latter but simply that after initial excitement of code, it is hard to keep up the enthusiasm. What I wish to know is are employers focused to find the right skill set with right experience when they want hire?

I'm acutely aware of the fact that the main reason I own a car is because I'm married w/ children. When I was single I quite happily got around by bicycle and motorcycle...

But transporting young children is a specific use case, and it's a very common one where something like Uber isn't really an attractive or viable substitute for your own car given the bulky support paraphenelia required, often by law (car seats, strollers etc.)
> "Why?"

because.

...

OK, seriously though: because the specific question is whether the government intentionally added methanol or other substances to alcohol with the intent to poison people who were drinking it during prohibition. "JasonCEC, please cite the lack of evidence you found" is nonsensical. "Those who are claiming it happened, please cite specific, original documentation" is reasonable.

(To be fair, max does not appear to be making the specific claim regarding prohibition; he's making a more technical claim about denaturing alcohol based on a law from 2 decades prior.)
There are multiple networks on an airplane. Some are air gapped, but running multiple parallel wiring systems adds a lot of weight to a plane. If a medium and low security system can share some cabling and be secured through software, then there is little reason not to.

The engine control wasn't hooked up to the AV system or anything!
STARTTLS has risks over and above pure use of TLS - in particular where it's been used in IMAP and POP3, an attacker injecting plaintext commands before STARTTLS/STLS occurs, tricking an early (plaintext) login and other such shenanigans.

This is why the SMTPS port is being resurrected, and STARTTLS-type upgrades are not considered good practice in future - port assignments in future are likely to take that into account.

Again, note the difference between parallel execution and concurrent execution. The software specifically relies on these cooperative threads not being parallel, which is not an inherent property of being concurrent, most certainly by definition.

Reading the first part of the article is a good start on understanding the distinction. Maybe this sort of lack of a basic understanding of the concepts is why concurrent programming is hard.
That's not really at all comparable. With writing, unless you get an advance on an unwritten book, you first work for months or years unpaid, and then (if you're lucky) you get an up-front sale payment and then royalties for a while. What would you think if you started a new programming job, kicked the bucket after 29 days, and your employer tried to claim that they didn't have to give your last paycheck to your family because you didn't finish the month?

Death or 15 years seems fair to me.
When the deal comes to educational practices, a device mostly created for the consumer (as in content consumer) practices does seem to fit the bill at first glance, doesn't so in the long run.

I have used ipads, e-readers, laptops and desktop computers nearly all my life. I was one of the first students who were taking his notes with a palm tungsten e2 with a stowaway keyboard talking to it via IR.

The problem here is as same as the palm's however. I HAD to buy an external keyboard to take notes or write stuff. Even though palm had ingeniously offered a "handwriting method" to take fast notes. But lecture notetaking is a different beast.

"Students saw the iPad as a “fun” gaming environment, while the Chromebook was perceived as a place to “get to work.” And as much as students liked to annotate and read on the iPad, the Chromebook's keyboard was a greater perk — especially since the new Common Core online testing will require a keyboard"

Actually, come to think of it, a dream machine invented for the educational purposes should have three things as essential:

- a turnable (and good) cam to record the lecture with sound

- a comfy keyboard

- A 13' IPS screen. 13 inch is the maximal range. Although screen real estate is a brilliant thing, lugging it out in a huge backpack with charger apparatus does not make it worthwhile.
And they've just collected 1.2 billion to help them along with that.

Good. Unfortunately, other phone manufacturers aren't in this pool.

I'm not sure if you include Microsoft in that assessment, but they're certainly a big patent risk now that they did the Nokia & Nortel things, and they know it.
I find the tone in your post a bit bizarre. It'd be like me saying:

Every time I read about Gerber I wonder who the target market is. Then I remember that I'm a childless adult with a pantry full of food and lots of takeout menus on hand. And then I realize that Gerber is made by and for old, married, child-bearing couples with who live in the Midwest.

Ahh, I now understand the specifics of your claim.

It appears you are correct that (prior to prohibition) one could produce alcohol and then intentionally add non-drinkable substances that matched its industrial use and therefore not be taxed for producing drinkable alcohol. And, as you say, this doesn't establish anything specific to prohibition, such as an intentional ramping up of poisons.

Which means the initial claim of the article still appears to be completely unsupported.

All I can remember was that some critical systems still used an industry variant of token ring, because it provides hard promises for bandwidth and latency, akin to what an RTOS provides in regards to a guaranteed time slice.

It was funny, in my networking class we were told there were two things we'd likely never encounter: Static routing tables and token ring.

I recall there was some controversy about having the low security stuff on the same network as anything else at all. The FAA freaked the heck out and made Boeing go to the umpteenth degree to make it super secure.

I really should remember more given that my resume had a line item on it of "Helped prepare 787 Avionics security training material"!

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear... With encrypted-trusted if you try an MITM, unless you have a valid SSL key, the browser will show a big error screen and not send any cookies. With encrypted-untrusted the browser wouldn't do that, so the cookies would still be sent. You don't even need to route the connection, you could just present an "Error connection to server" page and most users would just think the wifi isn't working.

My question is given that what is the purpose of encrypted-untrusted? It's no more secure than HTTP for anything that uses session cookies or the like. Sure the connection is encrypted, but then all you are doing is stopping people seeing that you are accessing My Little Pony shows on YouTube. If it's a public hotspot at the coffee shop, they can probably see you watching it (IRL) anyway. Given the connection is untrusted, it wouldn't be hard for the NSA to do a MITM attack at the ISP level.
