Curious, are there sites or (single) torrents where people are maxing out their download capacity at these rates? Don't content providers throttle now? I have WebPass (100MB) and I'm never able to pull down more than 3-4MBytes/sec, even from Apple (e.g. Xcode). SpeedTest shows the connection is indeed 100MB.

This person was an absolute clown.

I think the infosec community needs to grow up. We all hate when legislators use the word 'cyber.' Title 18 is a mess. The new computer crime proposals are worse. Every couple of years we get the occasional story about licensing security professionals. It is because of exactly this type of clownish behavior.

There are consequences for the attention seeking type of behavior. This idiot is catnip for government regulation.

It isn't exactly his fault though. Our community has been doing this to garner press attention for the sake of the attention. He is following the pattern that has long been set. Stunt hacking scares the shit out of normal people. Eventually people will demand regulatory intervention.
So other journalists and newspapers are now holding BuzzFeed to the same high standards as theirs ?

Do they really consider BuzzFeed "news" ?

If it is the case, then their own standards are dramatically low.

Next in the nytimes, "outrage as TMZ deletes posts" ?

That article says more about the state of "legit online news" than it says about the state of BuzzFeed. Nytimes shouldn't even talk about BuzzFeed, it makes them look stupid and click baity.
Interesting. I wonder if there is anything relevant to pay-to-play mobile games here? I think I'd be a lot happier to pay in the typical mobile game if I thought the game was fairer.
Yeah. Don't say:

This plane has <security vulnerability> ... shall we play with it and do <bad thing>?

It's just asking for trouble.

On the other hand, maybe this would go down better:

Oh god, this plane has <security vulnerability>. That does not make me feel safe. What if someone did <bad thing>? D:

"Great teachers aren’t likely to buy into the vision of any single ed tech company. They want to integrate ideas — likely from several sources, designers, and companies — into their own creative processes."

No! There are plenty of examples of people who stumbled over a security vulnerability, and who responsibly, confidentially, reported those vulns to the companies, and who then faced scary legal action.

I agree that the actions taken against him are far too severe; and that there should be a way for people to talk about security flaws without facing this level of harassment.
I keep expecting a revival of the Denshi block system to occur:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denshi_block

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gakken_EX-System

It seems like an idea ripe for revolution, at least in the Arduino/maker space. I know there are similar systems - but I think very little competes with Denshi block in terms of form factor and its appropriate use by little fingers.

Come on, hackers! Make a 21st Century Denshi block system! :)

Understanding the Kelly criterion is essential for any investor. I first came across it years ago after I lost around $1500 “investing" in a leveraged paired share trade. I was right on the direction of the overall movement of the shares (one up, one down) yet I still lost money. At the time I could not understand how I could be both right and still lose money - then I learned about the Kelly criterion. It was the best $1500 investment I ever made.
You've got your timeline mixed up - by the time the book was published, the committee had fully accepted the clocks and showered Harrison with awards.
This isn't exactly a new phenomenon - even before 9/11, a careless joke at baggage check-in ("Did you pack your own luggage today, Sir?" - "No, my wife probably put a bomb in there.") would often result in the joke not being recognised or treated as such. Said jokester gets taken to one side, scrutinised by the boys in blue, and eventually told that they "will not be flying today, sir."

In the age of Twitter, such hijinks are amplified further due to their world-readable nature. The problem with innocent, uncomfortable-but-well-intentioned jokes is that you have to consider how it will play with someone whose job it is to flag up and respond to any and all threats, no matter how credible.

Fundamentally it's your joke versus a member of staff who is not in a position to deviate from the procedure and brush it aside.

Plus, who'd want to be the guy who gets their face on the news after an incident because they ignored a threat and thought it was a joke? They won't, and often CAN'T, take that risk - they are simply not in a position where they are allowed to do so.

As you say, we live in shitty knee-jerk reactionary tines, but whatever the rights and wrongs, in this kind of situation it's prudent to moderate one's comedy appropriately.
The trouble with MakerBot isn't just that they're a US open source hardware manufacturer in a world where China is better economically suited to making hardware, it's that their business model is based around taking other people's openly-available R&D and designs and turning them into products. Which means that they have nothing to compete on other than patriotism when Chinese companies do the same for less.

For example, I believe MakerBot changed their extruder design for one that was suspciously similar to something one of the Chinese manufacturers came up with. Then their parent company Stratasys sued that company to stop them selling their printers, claiming the extruder infringed a patent of theirs via some, errm, creative interpretation of the patent claims. Buying MakerBot printers doesn't even help fund the companies that do the original R&D - it helps fund someone that's trying to sue them out of business.

Their printers are not cheap, not reliable and not even all that original, so why would you buy them?

Well, LLVM is something else altogether, as it doesn't try to abstract away the OS, while the JVM does[1]. As to the JVM, well, first of all, there is no "the JVM". There are many JVMs by many vendors, and many types of JVMs (from smart-cards, through various embedded devices, and all the way to desktops, servers and mainframes). Some of the most interesting -- and most important -- ones are made by companies you've probably never heard of, like Aicas and Atego that make hard realtime JVMs for use in avionics, medical devices and other safety-critical systems. The best-known JVMs are HotSpot, OpenJDK's JVM (which serves as the basis for Oracle and Azul's JVMs) and J9, IBM's JVM. When many people say "the JVM" they mean the SE (i.e. "standard edition") of HotSpot.

While HotSpot and the CLR are more similar -- at least in their goals -- than different, and each is ahead of the other in some respects and behind in others, I'd say that the most interesting features of HotSpot are its JIT and GCs (it comes with a few) that are years ahead of anything else used in any other environment in the industry (well, except Azul that sells a modified HotSpot with a "pauseless" GC that never pauses the application for more than a few microseconds). In my opinion, the most exciting development regarding HotSpot is the work being done on HotSpot's next generation optimizing JIT called Graal, that comes with an a complementary language toolkit called Truffle[2]. It pushes the envelopes further with regards to HotSpot's defining feature -- speculative optimization and deoptimization -- and lets the user (if they wish) control the code generation through a clever API.

Another important feature of any compliant SE JVM is bytecode manipulation. It allows modifying libraries after they've been compiled -- either on disk or during the class loading process. One use is dependency namespacing, aka shadowing (if your program depends on libraries A and B, and they each depend on different, incompatible versions of library C, shadowing can hide the two versions of C from each other). But one of the coolest things is the ability to transform (and de-transform) bytecode of running classes (to inject, say, tracing).

Since HotSpot is part of OpenJDK, all work on it (including Graal and Truffle) is open-source (and has been for a few years now). The OpenJDK as a whole is probably the world's second largest open-source project (in terms of contributors), after the Linux kernel. The main contributors are, of course, Oracle and IBM (the latter to a much lesser degree), but also Google, Intel, Apple, Twitter and many more.

> whose job it is to flag up and respond to any and all threats, no matter how credible.

That's exactly the problem, right there. Such jobs should not exist, because non-credible/joking threats are not threats, they are just jokes.
I imagine it will be either 10GbE or Nx1GbE on the CPE (or maybe both). 2.5GbE & 5GbE will be out soon (already in new Atom CPUs) and will work over Cat5e/Cat6 up to 100m.

Newer 802.11ac devices can in theory do ~1.7Gbps, about 1Gbps in practice.
Interesting, but the documentation does not seem to describe how stacks/memory management is done.

I'm on Webpass (100/100) and can hit 11MB/s fairly consistently on torrents and downloads, so it's certainly possible. This was enough of a problem that I had to connect my media center directly via cables instead of wifi as the wifi was slower than the connection.

Getting that speed consistently would really depend on the capacity of the backing server and other various details (i.e. many small downloads will result in limited throughput due to connection overheads).

So for aspiring infosec people, can someone explain how he can crack the encryption of EICAS? Different commenters on different site articles claim that the 737 never had EICAS, or maybe they mean that the Oxygen Mask On light is of course not connected to the internal avionics network.

Are there people who know this stuff better and have pointers? I would love to know more.

Could someone be so kind as to translate this tweet so that those of us that aren't security experts can understand what was said? Or perhaps point me in the direction of some recommended, intro-level reading? I feel distinctly ignorant at the moment!
Absolutely, but a credible security researcher, on a plane, talking about its configuration and asking "shall we start playing with EICAS messages?" is not a joke that can be disambiguated in real time.

That is achieved through men with badges, confiscation of property, the disruption of travel, and the kind of inconvenience being written about here.
Downloading from one-click hosters such as uploaded or keep2share is easily possible with speeds exceeding 50 MB/s. When using a download manager (i.e. multiple concurrent downloads, with, say, 6 connections), I can max out a Gigabit (i.e. 117 MB/s) from these hosters.

The same holds for Debian and Fedora mirror servers.

For torrents, the ramp-up typically takes too long, i.e. at the time when you got enough peers to max out your line, the file is already downloaded :).
Interesting re: policies; didn't know about that. It seems like such a policy, if actually followed, would help with things like this.

Further, this type of thing makes me sad that ads are the biggest winning revenue model for web companies, and as more people turn to the web as their primary news source, it becomes harder to differentiate between "eyeballs-for-sale" and "somewhat unbiased" news.

I think semantics are important here, especially in a technical context.

There are several way to "unpublish" an article:

- Retract it

- Delete it

- Completely erase it from the web

What BuzzFeed did in at least two cases was delete the articles and include them in their robots.txt, which, at least to me, is completely bonkers.

It is one thing for a publication to retract an article, but it is an entirely different thing to make an effort of making it seem as if they never existed to begin with.

It's that kind of mentality that leads you to think that even BuzzFeed don't think highly of their own articles, where you can always make it up in volume.

In that case, it was potentially VERY applicable to the other people's lives who also were on the plane in question.
Not being double-blind makes it cheaper. Hence takes less budget, lower taxes, everybody cheers.

Anybody proposing to make it double-blind is going to need to find the money, either from other departments or by raising taxes. Without a chorus of public support behind them, this is a very hard sell. And easily reversed after the next election.

If he was going to harm the aircraft, he wouldn't have announced it in a tweet. If the FBI already had reasonable suspicion he would, they shouldn't have let him get on the plane in the first place.

There is no rational reason for their action. This is simply a PR move by United and the FBI. Which leads to the same conclusion: just don't tweet things like this. Not because you're wrong, but because they are assholes.
...what? Maybe try starting at the top of this thread and going through it again?

Nobody's claiming a right to anyone's brain. It's the fact that you're accessing content that was only offered with the advertisements.

Boiling things down to the technical level just avoids the actual discussion. Sure bittorrent is just a protocol and software, but downloading movies illegally is still piracy right? You can build whatever software you want, but if it's used to DDoS someone then there's a problem. It's not about the tool, it's what its used for.

By blocking ads, you are breaking the terms of use of all the sites that provide you content for free in exchange for ads. If you want to be left alone, then just dont go to these sites... Advertising isn't broken, it's the morality of users who want anything and everything for free.

Let me put my thoughts first.

1. Initiate massive industrialization in the 3rd World.

2. Create as many jobs as I could.

Expected Results.

1. Massive job creation would lead to improved economy for the 3rd World, filling the gap between 3rd and the 1st World.

2. People would become busier, Literacy rate would go up, Crime and Terrorism factors will be significantly reduced.

Overall, the world would become even better and more civilized place.

No rocket science here.

I'm relatively uninformed in this area, but I assume it was a proposal for an exploitation path. "Box-IFE-ICE-SATCOM" would most likely be a plan meaning exploiting and escalating privileges from the actual passenger's client interface or in-seat screen(box), escalating to the in flight entertainment system (IFE), to the inter-communications system (ICE), and finally to the Satellite Communications system (SATCOM). Not sure how realistic it is, because I know really nothing about info-sec with regard to aircraft, but it's no different than planning something like web app/service vulnerability -> database -> backend systems.

The purpose of defining a function as pure is to allow the computer to make transformations. If you define println as a pure function and use pure to debug or trace your program you could discover that the compiler has eliminated some dead code and that some code has been executed out of order, so your debugging doesn't has any useful meaning. That's why is better to tell you that print isn't pure, the compiler could eliminate it if you define it as pure.
