You could leverage the TPM and some version of remote attestation and only permit key-requests from attested machines. Alternatively (or concurrently), you could PXE boot all devices with a parameterized shared-secret individualized for each node.
Phoenix as a framework is on par with many frameworks in other languages as far as features. It shines in certain areas, such as websockets, because of Elixir/Erlang concurrency. The community is solid and Chris Mccord et al are doing a phenomenal job working on it.

However, I think the real benefit in using it would be in the Elixir language, BEAM VM, and the OTP framework. Once you get your head around the actor concurrency model and learn OTP, then you'll save time building concurrent (and parallel!), fault-tolerant, and scalable applications.
I think the error here is treating "unborn human" as a single type of creature. A 2 week embryo is not the same as a 18 week fetus. That's why many (most?) abortion laws only authorized it during the first few weeks of gestation.

So, regarding your question, we can't. That's why we don't allow for the abortion of any unborn person, just a subset.

A pretty detailed presentation from Defcon. I believe these people were one of the firsts to tinker with Mifare in real life scenarios (IIRC this was back in 2008). http://tech.mit.edu/V128/N30/subway/Defcon_Presentation.pdf
I noticed that quite a few city areas have 55%+ Black Men to 45%- Black Women. If births are relatively equal, that means that the 'Missing' numerics from some of the cities can't necessarily be 100% due to incarceration or death. Now the total # is still accurate as it takes national totals (if we're assuming that Black Men and Women leave the country in equal numbers). You can't just count an imbalance in a city/state as 'missing' otherwise we could reverse this and say that Oregon/Washington have lots of missing Black women in equally appalling percentages.

But that price discovery should reveal the price that the underlying security is worth.

If shares were only traded based on what other people trade it for, isn't that the blind leading the blind, and the price it is traded for will have little grounding in reality.

I have several issues with HFT, however 'spoofing' as it is described sounds like it should be perfectly legal to me. If a player wants to trick the market, it is an irregularity that should be capitalised on by someone with a better understanding of the true value of the security

Well, it needs 2/3 of Congress to propose it, and then 3/4 of the states to ratify it, so it's a bit harder than that, but your point stands. The constitution does indeed have provisions to change with the times, provided the nation agrees.

Stability is also important of course, but a reasonable balance seems to have been struck. The constitution does indeed evolve with the times, while still remaining more or less the same document, upholding the same basic ideals.

It also has a web UI, so you can use that to add transactions if you don't like using a text editor.

Despite these measures, there was still a riot in the cemetery where over 2,000 people, fearing that her corpse would poison the surrounding area, tried to prevent her burial by using stones and bricks to block the cemetery roadway."

> Apply for a job and change it from within.

That is a nice thought, but it doesn't really work that way. Most organizations don't have the flexibility required to make that a possibility (due to constraints of mission and efficiency in general).

An extreme example:

It is not possible to infiltrate the mafia and convert it from within to a girlscouts-like force of good. Such a transformation, were it possible, would conflict with the organization's goals and culture - it would no longer be the mafia. The same can be said about an insider attempting to reverse the NSA's efforts to spy on everybody.

I think you'd find very little informed support for that claim about a reasonable balance. The US is on the very far end of rigidity in its political system among the western nations. Heh, no less a progressive extremist than Antonin Scalia himself said that, if he could amend the constitution, it would be to make it easier to amend.

Many homes have natural gas powered generators that automatically kick in when the power fails, as it often does (trees fall on the wires). Typical outage times are 4 to 8 hours.

Generally agree with your points.

On the Iron Dome, it was launched in 2011. Interestingly, in the 10 years before, 17 people died from rocket attacks from Gaza. It's often used to explain the death toll difference between Israel and Palestine (not something either of us mentioned) when it really was a relatively minor factor in casualties before and after the dome. In fact, rocket attacks have always been a relatively minor factor in casualties (despite being of course outright frightening to live in a place where every year you find yourself in a bomb shelter at some point). So I'm not sure that 10-50x higher is very probable although it'd definitely be more.

I agree about the biggest threat being solved around 2006, the separation wall is highly controversial (and I oppose it, in general), but it's been absolutely effective and its benefit is as visible as its cost (unlike many anti-terror laws whose benefits are much more vague).

> I'm not familiar with anyone who claims that this was solved by eroding the rights and privacy of the Israeli public -- which for some reason appears to be the preferred solution in just about every country

Agreed. Although here in the Netherlands our carriers recently stopped saving telephone records on everyone after it appeared the judge said this wasn't necessary anymore, which really surprised everyone haha. Wasn't a Dutch thing btw, the European court of justice ruled the telecommunications retention law invalid. There's some good things happening here and there.
That looks quite nice. I do have the same Yubikey and use my subkeys like that - but via USB/on laptop and desktop.

For Android: I'd like to see support for this in Boxer. While I do prefer open software, K-9 has been quite unstable for me and has a terrible UX (ever noticed how server-side search is supposed to be used? Or the lack of any error messages at all?). Looking at a bacon/OnePlus One running 12s here the new client looks like a great improvement - but this is one feature I haven't found (or rather, that doesn't seem to exist).
The problem with any type of hardware/usage like this is that it's susceptible to offline attacks, which widens the attack surface greatly. A better way to do this would be to encrypt any data that you need to store on the card. And an even better way would be to communicate with a server and have it validate the transaction.

I was sleeping at 6am until 11am for a long time, as another "cool" kid I thought working midnights are better (maybe true, no one disturbs from work). But now I am having problem with sleep excessiveness, even though I am going to sleep at 11pm and can get up at 7am, not feeling fine and again going to sleep until 11, 12. What to do next, it really hurts my life now?

Javascript was never designed to support realtime platform which sets up a foundation for an application. I don't see how ES6, ASM.js, Node.js etc will addresses challenges such as scalabiility, high mainteanance, poor design etc. You can only build so much on top of something, before you have to start over or move on to something else. Javascript is a dirty language for making things work quickly.
I thought this is a useless library, UNTIL I checked out HN comments to find out that the library played a sound too while scrolling up. :)

TL;DR for PaperBricks:

"Formalize the structure of papers, such that each paper is composed of one or many (clearly marked) of the following "sections" ("bricks"):

symbol description my description
"I" Introduction ("domain intro")
"PS" Problem Statement ("specific problem")
"HLSI" High-Level Solution Idea ("solution vision")
"D" Details ("solution implementation")
"PE" Performance Evaluation ("benchmarks")

and each "brick" must reference one or many bricks of the same or "earlier" level, forming a global graph."

-------- >8 ---------- >8 ----------

Some of the advantages:

* no need to rephrase the same "intro" in every domain paper, just reference an existing "I" brick;

* a benchmark (PE) can just reference many "D"s;

* one can easily work "backwards" -- e.g. start with a benchmark (PE) of existing implementations and already publish it, then propose a new implementation (D);

* if someone publishes a similar paper before you, with similar "vision/idea" (HLSI), this doesn't totally destroy your publication, as you can still publish the part with an alternative implementation (D);

* "I+PS+HLSI or I+HLSI: This is what some communities call a "vision paper" [...]"

* & many more listed in the linked arxiv paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1102.3523. Very nice, short and readable one, this.
So what should users of MongoDB do? I'm asking because it is the main database used in Meteor and I'm very interested in Meteor.

Should the general advice just be "store in MongoDB everything that doesn't require consistency and use Postgresql for everything else"?
The caveat there, I think, is that it has to be intelligent and "wise."

I don't think sentience includes any intelligence -- look at how many sentient people make unintelligent decisions for various reasons, including faulty data.

It's funny how you watched a Troma film without actually knowing what it was. Trust me, they were very aware of their "cheesy 80s context". Nuke 'Em High is one of their classics along with Toxic Avenger, which even spawned toys and a children television show. But I understand you reaction. Even I, as a cult-film guy, find their stuff hard to watch at times.

Their output is astounding though, and once in a while they launch great careers (South Park, J.J. Abrams).

"Hypertext Publishing and the Evolution of Knowledge" had ideas in this general area back before the web existed. An excerpt: "One result of all this activity is what amounts to a review article, developed incrementally, thoroughly critiqued, and regularly updated. It takes the form of a hierarchy of topics bottoming out in a hierarchy of result-summaries; disagreements appear as argumentation structures [17]. When new results are accepted, their authors propose modifications to the summary-document; they become visible (to a typical reader) to the extent that they become accepted."

http://e-drexler.com/d/06/00/Hypertext/HPEK3.html#anchor3165... (to link to a relatively concrete scenario; the paper as a whole is interesting but some of it had to be just to address the very desirability of something like the web.)

I find with cmp there's too much to remember - if a < b do I need to return -1 or 1? With Key it becomes really simple, and powerful:

sorted(records, key=lambda r: (r.city, r.age, r.name))

For me there's a lot less mental overhead with the Key form.

Encoding-wise, hex and base64 are not something I do too often, so their new interfaces don't worry me too much. In the cases you've mentioned you could create a simple wrapper function to deal with it for you.

I guess there's some reason for using bytes instead of strings as the output to the interface, but, as you say, it's definitely non-obvious.

There are lots of things that are a little different in python 3; I would say overwhelmingly for the better, on the whole. There just doesn't seem to be much point fighting against those minor changes when they're easy enough to adapt to.
The relevant excerpt from the speech:

40 years ago, after doing a math degree, I went on to study computer
science, on my father’s advice. He said there is a future in that, and he
was right. So for the Smart Nation Programme Office, I have put Minister
Vivian Balakrishnan in charge, reporting to me. Vivian is both a hacker
and a dabbler – He used to be an eye surgeon but since he does not get to
operate on eyes nowadays, he dabbles in building simple robots, assembling
watches, wireless devices and programming apps. His day job is to be the
Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, and so when he builds
apps, he uses the real time APIs generated by the Ministry. That’s called
user-testing. I used to enjoy this; it is a long time since I’ve done
anything. The last programme I wrote was a Sudoku solver in C++ several
years ago, so I’m out of date. My children are in IT, two of them – both
graduated from MIT. One of them browsed a book and said, “Here, read
this”. It said “Haskell – learn you a Haskell for great good”, and one day
that will be my retirement reading.

What's amazing is not just the bit about having written C++ code but the fact
that he used the term hacker propely and knows what Haskell is. Interesting.

I like how Ledger is essentially just a system for doing arbitrary calculations on "buckets of quantities of stuff" a.k.a. accounts with various currencies and assets. I'm not going to say it's a walk in the park, but I've been able to get it set up so it spits out everything I need to do my Belgian taxes, and before that, everything I needed to do my UK taxes. It doesn't assume anything.

Of course, happy to see some competition in this space. Can only benefit users like me.
