John Adams wasn't a framer, he was in Britain during the Constitutional Convention and thus wasn't involved in writing the Constitution.

Agreed. The comparison which wasn't clear in that sentence was to file-level encryption.

At the point of seizure, your chosen data protection method is either helping your adversaries by offering all files unimpeded, or helping you by not doing so.

It's equivalent to having no data protection at all, if you adversaries are competent.

Try never.

Too much embedded devices out there which 1. won't get updated, 2. doesn't have enough storage for a crypto-stack and 3. doesn't have the computational power to process a crypto-stack should it even be updated to have one.

Internet-standards are published, approved and then stays forever. You will realistically need to support all versions until "the end of time", or at least the end of the internet as we know it.
Jumping at short-term profit over the people who trusted you is malice, in my book. Profit-uber-alles is not some thing that appears out of the ether--somebody has to do it.

This assumes a 20g swallow. "European swallow" typically refers to the barn swallow, which ranges between 16 to 22g. So between 68,000 and 94,000 unladen swallows.

Very interesting, thanks for the insight + reference to the PLT group.
You should not center things vertically.
It's interesting that the most important part, the part of the process that will cut your costs and cut variability is the requirements/analysis and architecture design part. It's the thing that many people skim over and don't see and apparently don't know how to do well. That's the most important piece and you can't get that from watching someone write code.

Tired of Being Profiled, a Programmer Turns to Crowdsourcing Cop Reviews
Here here! I recently did this - well, I moved to a linux VM. Somewhat.

First, I did not move everything; I only moved my dev enviroment. I have things bound to OS X and I can't say goodbye just yet entirely. But with everything in a VM I have a nice walled garden that i know will work, and I can update OSX with less hesitation as most of my time is spent in the safe world of the VM.

It also makes it easy for me to copy it over to my laptop (I'm on an iMac) and continue what I was working on from there; or to just reboot into windows and play some PC games. And being able to do branching at a machine level can come in handy too.

Anyway. To answer your questions about distros. I started with centos but it does not appear to be a great desktop OS, and chrome doesn't even support it. But I also noticed the font renderings in the browser were notably crappier, and ubuntu has a package to make that not suck so much.

So, I went with linux mint. I do NOT like the fact that the firefox it comes with prevents you from using google as your search engine (at all) because mint wants a cut of google's profits; so you simply can't use it. That still gets under my skin. But you can download Firefox directly and get around that, which is what I did.

But basically, anything ubuntu based. as much as I otherwise dislike ubuntu, it'll equate to the least tinkering required.

Otherwise my apps haven't really changed - everything I used regularly in OSX is in linux.

Some of the copy/paste behavior is nutty, but I haven't looked into tuning that yet to be honest.

But otherwise, I'm pretty happy with the move and the solution. If OSX gets worse I can move more into the VM.
> Try never.

Well, it depends on how you define "switchover". Enabling HTTP/2 doesn't necessarily mean turning HTTP/1.1 off.
I think the minivan concept makes a lot of sense. The demographic that is likely to own a minivan is likely to have their own garage, which makes charging no hassle. A family with a minivan most likely has a second car they could use for long-distance driving, making range anxiety less of a problem. And they are likely to have the disposable income to invest in an electric car in the first place.
I have not had luck finding an equal to iTerm2 on Linux.
While there are many to choose from, few combine all the features (color support, themes, layouts, configurable hot-keys for navigating panes, etc.) in one package.

The one thing I miss the most is having nearly border-less panes for differing font sizes. To my knowledge, that can't be done on tmux or screen.

I'd welcome any suggestion of a terminal with the features of iTerm2.
This isn't an issue of who cares for who. I don't think any country is going to vary that much in who cares for others. China is the place where a 2 year old girl was run over and no one stopped to help.
This would mean that one would eventually have to rely on the NYT which is a "centralized" source of information.
According to the bitcoin experts the blockchain cannot be forged, especially if one's transaction is older than a few hours.
If the bitcoin community are right about the above and if you think of the blockchain as a non-centrally-relied bulletin that anyone can write anything (as long as they pay the appropriate fees to the bitcoin miners) and that nobody can erase what was written in the past then there should be no need for relying on any other source of information such as the NYT.
On the other hand your idea could be useful as a backup, in case something goes wrong in the blockchain technology!

If you get bored in 30 min, programming may not be a natural fit for you.

I get restless about 4-6 hour mark, but I am great for the first three hours.

One trick that does help when I am really tired is to play music. I use classical (or no words) music if I am having a hard time focusing. It helps me more than other kinds of music and I do listen to everything at different times, but classical really keeps me focused!

Hope that helps

They could rescue it easily, but they're muddled up between their (best selling, I presume) consumer (including low-end business) and premium business hardware.

If I was given the job of fixing this at Lenovo, I'd do this:

1. Kill off the ThinkPad brand. It's tainted.

2. Invent a new name for the premium laptops. Something workmanlike, off the top of my head: WorkStead.

3. Tell the world that the premium business laptops are now called WorkStead.

4. Tell the world what makes a WorkStead laptop, guaranteeing those things which have been broken repeatedly over the past few years, e.g. consistent keyboard layout, real buttons for everything.

4. Rebrand the X and T series with this name, but only the ones that deserve it.

5. Wait for people to again start saying 'Get me a fully loaded WorkStead T4xx series' like they used to do with ThinkPads, before they had to say 'Let me check which models they've managed not to ruin recently'.

6. Stop asking people to choose between 3 slightly different Intel wifi cards within $10 of each other in price, defaulting to the worst one, when they're buying a $3000 laptop.

... And other brokenness in the configurators.

Keep up the practice. I'm working with similar puzzles and have found that the simpler ones are becoming easier over time.

The next level up seems to be problems that require composing algorithms. This type of problem takes creativity, some insight into how to combine, for example, graph algorithms with dynamic programming to come up with "optimal" solutions. These are quite hard for me, especially dynamic programming - it seems to be a favored component in many problems.

Maybe consider downloading 5 or 10 years worth of ACM programming contest problems. Take your time, work through each one, and add to a notebook (or even something like Anki) for regular review.

There is a book on competitive programming at https://sites.google.com/site/stevenhalim/ The first edition is freely available there as a pdf.

Stepping away from your question, you mention that your puzzle solving speed is holding you back from getting your desired job. This is a tough situation - it sounds like the job you want is at a company where these puzzle interviews are prized. If it is possible, maybe you could try to create some working sample code that addresses the job requirements. A portfolio you could put forward and talk about with interviewers instead?

I sometimes try to think from the perspective of how would I setup a course to teach someone to be good at some specific subject. Occasionally I even manage to do that and turn around and make myself the student in that course. You've got a PhD already, so determination isn't a problem for you. Keep grinding!

If you cannot be surprised while the drive is mounted, and cannot be compelled to mount it (maybe just by booting the machine) then there is no known specific additional risk to running FDE.

Note that "surprised" might include a networked attack, in addition to being tackled in a coffee shop.

File-level encryption protects your data until you reach the court order level of compulsion, and possibly further. At least in civilized countries.

So, given those caveats, I'd say your answer is "yes", but...the best plan is to do both. FDE as a matter of policy, and file-level on any files of specific value.

Edit: Even had a few Steam games transfer over, which was cool. I've had some issues with Java support, but most people wouldn't care about that, and fairly random, as in the Toolbar support.

I had Soleri's book as a youngster in the 70s, and I was quite influenced by his ideas. I even taught a class to my fellow middle-school students called "City" where we built a model of a single structure city, to be built in the desert. What can I say, it was the 70s.
My Mom has lived out in Arizona for many years, and as I was getting ready to go visit her for the first time a few years ago, I realized that Arcosanti was just down the road from her house. She had never heard of it, despite being a bit of a counter-cultural type herself. We took the tour... it was a little shabby, but quite interesting. Of course it is just a pale shadow of the dreams of that wild guy. But it is a working experiment, and has lasted. I was pleased to see a poster advertising that young women were invited to be sketched nude by Paolo and they could keep some of the drawings. Pretty nice setup for the old guy.
So is this in the vein of Splunk, say? My company also uses logentries, and has been quite happy with it, but a hosted open-source tool would be great.
Outside of computers this has been going on for decades in the FBI/ATF's drug and gun business. This is and has been the modus operandi for at least 30 year (that I know of) and probably far longer, and it works well. Get caught with a joint and they'll try to stick distribution on you (with 10+ year sentences) unless you narc someone out. Some with gun violations, they will think of 10s or 100s of very questionable charges and place them against you, threaten jail time in the centuries. Reminds me of the Aaron swartz case.

If there's one lesson I take from Acrosanti's architect, Paolo Soleri, it's "think big".

Fun fact: Arcosanti's prototype, Cosanti, was a big influence on George Lucas. You can see tons of Soleri-style work in the film's sets, particularly Tatooine.
White House Names Nation’s First Chief Data Scientist
Months. Traditionally a change like this saw little enthusiasm or interest, and had a very slow uptake, because it didn't add value until all of the players changed. Now, however, browsers iterate so quickly that already there is HTTP/2 support on the majority of user desktops. If you run a Go or node.js or various other technology websites, even if you "self-host" HTTP, you likely (and should) have it behind nginx or Apache or HAProxy, and all of those are quickly implementing HTTP/2 (or more correctly changing the existing SPDY functionality to the final spec. And for those who wonder, a HTTP/1.1 Go app sitting behind a HTTP/2 proxy still delivers HTTP/2 benefits to the end user). Cloudflare had SPDY support over two years ago, so I expect they'll see very quick support.

Of course, and you addressed this, this doesn't mean that HTTP/1.1 disappears. Heck, my web properties still see HTTP/1.0 requests, almost a decade after HTTP/1.1. But that is a very small minority.

Cebu City Hotels – Best Selection
The sad thing is we don't need to invoke the big bad NSA here. There is absolutely positively nothing about this that suggests it is anything other than bog-standard SSL incompetence.

And to be clear, I mean, absolutely nothing. This isn't a slightly unlikely thing that still leaves room to wonder about "plausible deniability"... this is a thing that happens all the damned time and the NSA need at most sit back and passively reap the benefits, along with hackers and criminals.

Somebody somewhere wanted to get in on the advertising gig because it looks like free money. Their first attempt didn't work on HTTPS sites. Some techie was ordered to fix it. Said techie read a few things on a few sites and typed in the magic commands to "make it work" and probably literally didn't even know that they'd just annihilated security for all their users... they literally just knew that this made their software "work", and for them, pretty much the first time they clicked on to an HTTPS page and saw their own ads, the story ended. Ship it.

To a first approximation, nobody using SSL in some manner understands SSL.
The true ending to that story is when you come back to your old gal and start convincing her to get monad imports. "You'll feel just like your old self, only more functional! " You tell her. The next day you hear even your neighbor Facebook got his girl PHP to try out lambdas and type annotations.

Then you realize that Haskell has been sleeping around. A lot.

It's time to get tested.
fyi, the test on that page will also be positive in the case you have any other mitm certificate - eg company proxy software.
Call me stupid, but I've always learned better from examples than descriptions. So it's a log management tool. I can have my app write logs or files into Graylog, then I can handle the logs/files within Graylog much more easily than, say, if I were to write my own code to make some kind of sense with the log data. Am I understanding this correctly?

So I can maybe tell easily where users had problems with my app, or I can even use it as some kind of analytics program for my app?

The advice reminds me of the article "How Doctors Die" ( http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/20/your-money/how-doctors-die... ).

Having not read the book and the viewpoint it presents I do feel like there's also a bit of responsibility - I hesitate to use "blame" or "fault" - on the patient or patient's family for keeping them alive on machines and treatment that cost way too much. Perhaps the establishment is an enabler in that sense but what would they be if they didn't respect the wishes of the dying?
