Not really. There's only "insecure" and "less insecure".

"Secure" just means that no one has figured out how to break it yet, or that you don't care if the people who can break it do so.

I would not call it a "bubble" - to me that implies air surrounded by water. I would call it a "drop" or a "blob". However, as I've learned to my cost in another thread, not everyone agrees with me about the usage of language. Since it's got water in it, and it's big and round, some people will call it a "bubble."

· Following are the Algorithms/Concepts that one must know(Especially a programmer) to solve CS puzzles:
· Lists, Arrays, Stack
· Trees- Binary, k-ary, AVL, B and B+ tree
· Sorting and Searching- esp. QuickSort, RadixSort, Binary search and indexing
· Priority Queues- Heaps
· Pattern Matching and Parsing- Regex
· Hashing- Hash Functions
· Disjoint Sets
· Graph Algorithms and Data Structures- Problems like computing the minimum spanning tree, determination of the shortest path between two nodes, matching, and the detection of cut vertexes will arise in a number of situation. Google’s PageRank, for example, is a very concrete application of graph algorithms.
· Dynamic Programming- Closely related to graph algorithms, Dynamic Programming exploit the fact that the optimal solution to a large problem can be expressed as an optimal combination of sub-problems.
· State Space Search Algorithms- limited depth search, · Breadth-first search, A*; Artificial Intelligence; Genetic algorithms

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ousterhout%27s_dichotomy

Ousterhout's dichotomy is computer scientist John Ousterhout's claim[1] that high-level programming languages tend to fall into two groups, each with distinct properties and uses: system programming languages and scripting languages
To me, Perl was a girl like none I'd ever met, strange and wild and inspiring! But polite society rejected her... it was just because they didn't really know her. My parents said she was trouble and banished her from our home. I loved her so much I would sneak out at night and find any way I could to spend some time with her.

(Wait, or is this the plot of Phantom of the Opera? I'm bad at musicals.)
> Here's how the attack may have happened: Step one, collect data about which computers are sending and receiving large amounts of Tor bandwidth. Step two, if the server resides in a datacenter, request an image of the server. Step three, you now know whether the server is a darknet website.

This in itself is not sufficient: there are thousand of Tor bridges, relays and exit points. All of them carry lots of traffic and all of them could be hosting hidden services as well. The total traffic in itself doesn't necessarily show that a server hosts hidden services. It could also me masked by generating fake traffic to/from the server.

Knowing that Tor traffic comes and goes through a server isn't enough. Most data centers would not just hand over disk images just because a server is running Tor and a hidden service. You would need good evidence that the particular hidden service you seek is hosted at that particular data center.

You still need detective work to pinpoint the location of the datacenter. This could come from timing attacks or an unrevealed weakness in the Tor protocol itself, but it's more likely that they noticed suspicious activity in real life (large purchases, people already known to be involved in drugs), infiltrated some markets, managed to get some people to talk, ... Once you suspect a particular person and they are under surveillance, you can catch them paying for servers with their CC, connect to their server directly, or watch their BTC transactions.

They would certainly need the cooperation of the involved data centers at some point, but neither Europol nor the FBI can just walk into any data center and request images of any server that handles Tor traffic without a warrant, which would require some tangible evidence to support its release, lest it becomes inadmissible in court.

Cool, I apologize if I offended. But if we're talking radical engine design, then nothing is off the table. Including solving the existing problems with the Duke design. They haven't had 2 centuries of tweaking, so criticisms about where soot collects are getting ahead of things.

And also including turning the problem on its head. If shaft momentum is such a well-known and pernicious problem, then its not out of line to question why somebody went down that road at all. Obvious really. Its called returning to fundamentals, and anybody can do it.

So, what's the problem with using rotation to port air and exhaust, if the disk is turning instead of the now-stationary cylinder block? A mechanical linkage between the disk and a ported sleeve should do the trick. If its still desirable at all - a stationary cylinder block lets you do it the valve way too if desired.

Anyway, I'm actually astonished that anybody ever thought it was a good idea to rotate essentially the entire engine. Centripetal forces, heavier bearings, linkage issues - it invents all sorts of problems. Whereas the idea of pushing against a tilted disk doesn't require that at all. I can't get over that fundamental notion, and I'm sure its fair to ask "where did they go wrong" without being accused of backseat driving. If there's some obvious need to NOT rotate the disk, I'm all ears. But I didn't read that anywhere.
The world will never make everyone happy. If you choose to actively disable a feature allowing websites move past 1995, then you shouldn't complain about living in 1995.
I think it's stylistic. The anime series (To aru majutsu no index) uses the same style of "to aru <noun>" instead of "<noun> to aru". It reminds me of Latin, where you can adjust the position of phrases in the sentence for emphasis or rhythm.

Personally, I think of the "to" as emphasizing the specificity of the phrase, if that makes sense. It's not just that "an OS", it's this specific OS that's being referenced by "aru".
You just focus on the breathing sensation, the flow of air, without breathing heavily, following the inspiration, the slight pause and then the next expiration. Again and again.

Your mind will obviously create a lots of "shower thoughts", the goal is to come back "gently" to the focus on the breathing. By gently, I mean you should not feel angry for having your mind wandering, this is natural and expected. The idea is not to block or shut down your mind on any idea arising, but rather when it occurs trying to put them aside, and go back again to the breathing.

It sounds simple and easy, but in practice it is hard to maintain your attention for an extended period of time.

I think in Buddhist tradition it is a part of Samatha [0]

I believe there are some variations like focusing on a candle, or a stone, the advantage of the breathing is that is available everywhere at anytime.

Agreed, but the sheer scope of this operation forces us to consider whether the authorities are playing by all of the rules. Since we don't know which rules are still reliable, the best defense is simply to assume your server is compromised from the start. And, incidentally, your support staff.

By the way, I'd also like to thank everyone for the thoughtful responses. It's great that people are thinking about this problem.
By latency, what do you mean? Erlang excels with Input/Output (the VM's I/O manager is well-tuned) and network applications.

I think WhatsApp is latency critical, no user ever said it's okay to have their message show up minutes after it was sent if both parties were on a good internet connection...
if you are russian and living in russia they will not extradite you and as long as you are not targeting russians the police will not care that is why many of these carders dont get arrested and if they do it is usually when they leave russia.
Appreciate the detailed explanation. It's very helpful. Since I hadn't done any customer validation, I guess I was just going by my own use case (married with 2 kids - group #1) as a reference. Now I understand and agree with you on #2 and #3. I really like what you are doing by working with agents and the idea of reaching out to local banks. Wish you all the best with Wrinq and the openresty book.
If the recognition algorithm works the way I believe it does, it's looking for silence before the keyword, indicating it's the start of a question and "Alexa" is the subject:

e.g. "Alexa, how many people live in Germany?"

and not

"I should talk to Alexa about ordering ten new televisions."

Can't think of a lot of sentences that start with "ecological".
Actually a relay will be awesome way to mask a hidden service, if TOR encryption holds.
Firstly, thank you for your response.

We have a solution that invalidates the early termination fee provisions. We've already considered and addressed the points you make. We are an antagonist to the cell providers. We do not require their cooperation.

That being said, you are correct in that we target the pain point of early termination fees for cell contracts, and are looking for the best way to market that.
The FBI is acting as a good litmus test of the security and confidentiality of these sites as well. If they got three but the others are still running, then maybe it means it is harder for them to find out where or who is running those sites.

You would hope eventually we can use this evolutionary process to see completely opaque black markets emerge. Or you may not hope, depending on purview.
I disagree; I think most people desire privacy. It's just that the speed of technology change has been faster than social awareness.

For instance, most people understand cameras - they've been around since birth. And, most would be uncomfortable if there was a visible camera on every surface, pointed at them. There's an understanding that there's a 'watcher' at the other end of that picture or video. In fact, as cameras emerged, some cultures rejected them as a technology that could 'steal the soul'.

But, today, most people don't understand the 'sensors' that are everywhere, tracking their behavior. Not only are the sensors invisible, they're not something that most people are even aware of or understand. Many of us are in this business, and I'd suggest that most of us aren't even aware of all of them.

These sensors are similarly 'stealing our souls', but we don't even know that it's happening.
That it doesn't sound well is a very subjective notion. Polyrhythm is quite common in some types of music, and a staple of traditional music in many places outside europe. In western music you can usually find it art music, film soundtracks, jazz, IDM, progressive rock... With well placed accents and syncopation I don't think it's that bothersome to the untrained ear even.
This is my problem with policing in general. The drug laws in particular cause so much harm, but there are many bad laws. As a police officer you have to be involved in enforcing them all regardless.

I don't think that scrapping enforcement is a viable or useful option but...
I do exactly that as a job, I teach modern development techniques to established software shops. The way I present it, is to teach good development habits by using good development tools.

1. Before anything start with version control and how to use it effectively. With out this step you got nothing.

2. Collaboration. Choose a project management tool (Jira or the like) and show them how to use it effectively. Show them how developers use it to keep PHB & managers honest.

3. Continuous Integration. Choose a CI of your choice, set it up, get it working for them, get them addicted to the time/work savings. (I use Jenkins, but now there are better ones)

4. Testing. Teach them why testing is good, help them implementing the testing framework (On the CI) and help institute it as a 1st level part of the development process.

My style, is to never give them "more work", but to show them how each step saves them work and time.

An interesting side effect of how insurance plans are structured where I work finds the people with diabetes or recurring medical expenses are usually better off on the HSA plans offered as the go to 90/100% payment of costs once the yearly deductible is met.

Considering the hassles that my mom has with medicaid/medicare (not sure exactly which one it is) since the ACA with obtaining her insulin and possible cure is great news. She actually has to plan trips around shipping dates because some supplies will not ship unless X number of days passed. Worse, the costs went up. Between insulin, the pump, test strips, and mandatory examinations, its not an easy road.
Truly impressive! What language are you using to code everything? C/C++? And for rendering? OpenGL or bare metal?
If you're just delivering content, not number crunching, I doubt your bottlenecks are CPU, and you shouldn't see Erlang take 10x as long. In fact, you'll probably deliver a better experience in Erlang, because of its approach to concurrency; your average latency will likely be a bit higher, but your extremes will likely be lower.

In fact, since you started with benchmarks, let's return to benchmarks (I find them to generally be useless, but you're looking at them, so why not) - http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

Compare CPPSP (the fastest! C++!) with cowboy (a popular web framework in Erlang). They're being run on the same hardware (so we're not talking about ability to scale across nodes even), serializing JSON.

Cowboy is about 1/4th the throughput (requests per second). Now let's look at latency. Cowboy took about 4 times the time, .8 ms on average per request to the CPPSP's .2. Great, C++ all the way, right? Err...no. Look at the max and standard deviations.

Cowboy had a max latency of 3.7 ms. CPPSP had a max of 134.6. Standard deviation of cowboy was .3 ms. Standard deviation of CPPSP was .5 ms.

So Cowboy is still really quite fast, more predictable, and has far smaller outliers. What are people going to be more likely to object to, waiting 3.7 ms, or 134 ms?

Couple that with the reliability Erlang provides, the ability to scale straight outta the box (so if you find you're hitting a throughput issue you have a clear path forward), and the joy of functional coding...and it's pretty compelling, to me at least.

Someone else, also 46, could make a similar post talking about how they wasted their most productive years on trivialities and as a result they now struggle to pay their bills, and regret never having a "career."

Obviously 9-7, missing fathers funeral, having no relationship with your own family is an extreme example, but the OP wants us to think about how that could apply to "our" situation. I think for most people it won't.

The OP's story is a great allegory. And just like all great allegories you have to crank it up to 500% to make its inherent "truth" more self evident.

As an aside: The 10 year cheating wife is a scumbag. The OP takes that on the chin but she is clearly a very bad person in SO many ways. It is one thing if she cheated on a whim and then left him, 10 years ago, it is another thing entirely to keep it up for that period.
Heads up on the RSS feed, the URL provided (http://blog.launch-diary.com/7wc9au7y1) is not available.
JavaScript works similar to this this and apps/libraries that wrap themselves in a giant closure work almost exactly like this. The disadvantage of this over using modules is in dependencies between functions. When you don't have modules and you try to refactor you get this annoying tendency for function a in file b to break when you change function y in file z. When you have modules you can easily tell before changing function a whether it is exported or not, and if it is to see in file z wither file a is imported.

Not saying this Erlang idea isn't good or wont work, just these are the pitfalls besides the obvious name spacing and conflicts.
For every Frozen, there are probably a hundred thousand failed media projects that didn't turn a profit. This is an outlier. And most of the profit ended up in the hands of the creators (Disney), not the distributors (everyone else).

Distribution of media is just not a profitable enterprise now. Too many closed, competing ecosystems and the entrenched now have so much capital acquired from other, more profitable ventures (Google from Search/Advertising, Apple from Hardware), that it makes little sense for anyone else to try unless they plan to be really different or disruptive.
Love the honesty! Good luck and I hope we'll see a "How Brutal Honesty Saved My Startup" post in 3 months.

Because those who would hold them accountable either created or support said immoral laws.

Also, you could go the deontological route, and say that by doing their duty they are being moral, for what other measure do you have, in a subjective and self-referential world?

Although frankly I think that you either have to be amazingly naïve or amazingly egoistical (or both) to work in law enforcement and not have moral qualms about your employ.

I haven't been to Berlin, so I don't know exactly how big it is, but one would not typically call "within 2km of city center" a suburb. One would typically call 2km from a city center, "the next neighborhood over in the city".

Suburbs aren't a "not the cool, trendy area of a city" thing. They are a driving thing. They are completely different towns, not other neighborhoods in the same city. It doesn't count if you can easily walk the distance every day. Think more like 20km.

I mean, really, Millenium Park in Chicago is almost 2km long. The National Mall in Washington DC is about 3km. Central Park in New York City is over 4km long.

Liberty never will but terrorism will. Anyone opposing will be classified as a terrorism, and trust, most people will believe that.

That's not entirely true. The FBI chooses what it wants to focus on, which is determined not by the adverse impact on society or prioritization by laws but by other considerations such as media exposure, general popularity, funding, etc. I am not saying all blame belongs to the FBI and not the system, but they are at least partially to blame.
