I'm aware. What's not clear is whether applies to the individual components of an organization (i.e. its employees) or just the organization as a whole. I want to think the answer is that intra-organizational distribution still counts as distribution (and therefore cannot be restricted), but usually it's considered acceptable to use a modified version of (A)GPL'd software internally (i.e. not used outside the organization) without it counting as "distribution", so things are kind of fuzzy without explicit terms in that regard.

Such are the side-effects of treating organizations as singular entities :)

Well, if you do it a little, the obvious pattern emerges. You see that either:

- There is no need for a carry, and then you just need to remember the previous 10s digit and subtract 7 from the ones place [tiny bit of memory work, single digit subtraction by 7].

- There is a need for a carry, the 10s place goes down by 1, the ones place goes up by 3 [a little extra strain on memory, single digit addition by 3].

Dispatching between those operations is easy. Is the ones place greater than or equal to 7?

I am impressed at the level of downvotes and vitriol shown towards these subjects on here. I think some of the points are either nonsense or stretching things a bit and I don't agree with all of the conclusions, but there are definitely real issues here, and ignoring and suppressing them will only make the eventual backlash worse. Especially with high-handed methods like downvotes and single-sentence dismissals as garbage.
I take it the submission title is a mistranslation. Not "Vulcan", but "volcano".
There's a very strongly held opinion in certain places in central Japan that the Toyota sudden acceleration issue has at no time ever actually been a true statement about engineering reality, and that it has been at all times an outright fabrication on the part of the American government to protect the domestic auto industry which is presently owned by the American government.

I would be more skeptical of this but for the reports coming out from the NHTS confirming "Yep, there is no there there" combined with the multi-billion dollar fines. It has the appearance of it just not mattering whether there were any faults in the vehicles.

I agree that for keeping the TSA Joe out of a laptop is is great. The issue comes with educating non technical people, which this article feels like it is aimed at, with a enryption methods that we can't gurantee are sound.

While it may stop petty data theft we have seen how these backdoors trickle down and before you know it your local police department is abusing it left and right. An example of technology that has been package and sold is the Stingray for cell phones. Even though this is more of a nasty feature of cellphones that the Stringray exploits what is stopping a BitLocker or OSX exploit to be commoditized?
> But the FBI, concerned about its ability to fight crime — specifically, child pornography — apparently repeatedly asked Microsoft to put a backdoor in the software. A backdoor — or trapdoor — is a secret vulnerability that can be exploited to break or circumvent supposedly secure systems.

>For its part, the FBI categorically denies asking for such access, telling Mashable that the Bureau doesn't ask for backdoors, and that it only serves companies lawful court orders when it needs to access users' data. (And, legally, it would still need a warrant even if a backdoor did exist.)

There's a difference between "being asked to" and "actually doing it". If you think that Microsoft or Apple would backdoor their FDE to appease the FBI or any other federal agency is to assume that they have no interest in their customer base and would rather piss all over it.

Besides, LUKS was "backdoored" by the FBI by simply having two agents behind someone's back and then having another agent grab the laptop as the individual turned around.

This has to be taken with a grain of salt. Frauenhofer in particular is rather "patent focused" and I think it carries over to their (there's a lot of Frauenhofers...overgeneralizing) general view on software. It's only anecdotal evidence from being at some research matchmaking events (Horizon 2020 etc.) and working in that field.

That being said OpenSource is explicitly mentioned in many calls. I'm mostly working on country specific calls but they are usually constructed similarly. OpenSource is often mentioned as a "potential use after the project" or a "result". Interestingly the provided headlines for calls will often read like this:
"Potential use (for example OpenSource, patents, marketable product)" :D

+Actual software development usually isn't the goal of research projects. In the EU they use maturity levels (initially from the aviation industry I think) and it's quite a bit more "actual software/solutions" focused than the country specific calls (by design).
Overall anyone who has worked in software development or even better at a startup would get a good chuckle out of these research funding events and the general process btw. (my personal opinion).
Jobs admired Sony, which introduced and won several new product categories. But when the founders left, esp Morita, this stopped, though of course they remain successful to this day - they just aren't creating new product categories.

Cook, as an operations guy, will keep things running. But can Apple lead new product categories under him? The Apple Watch seems to be showing he can... If so, it's something even more impressive than biggest cap etc. Something Sony didn't manage.

The iPad is dying not because of longer upgrade cycles, but for the same reason desktops are: it's less convenient than a phone (or watch).

Well, back when I used windows TrueCrypt was still a thing.

Depending on your threat model, probably still TC though.
If your threat model is the NSA, I'd advise you to not use windows anyways. Plus, if it does turn out TC has a major flaw, someone abusing it might make a noise. And as far as I'm aware the TC audit also hasn't found anything serious so far.

If you aren't betting your life on it, I think you're still fine with TrueCrypt, Plus, encrypting your full drive with it is something my mother could do. Next, next, next done, at least that's how I remember it.

Edit: Thinking about it, this is firstlook.org, maybe they know something we don't, but recommending BitLocker over TC sill seems like a stretch.
Oh the languages again. Many people don't know that it was the US, and not the UK, who mostly contributed to the spread of English -- of course one might argue that US talk English in first place due to the UK. That world-wide'fication started after the WWII. In Europe, for instance, the number of students learning English as first foreign language only surpassed French ones by the 50s and 60s in most countries (sorry, can't point now to the document in which I saw this info).

Why was it so massive? Due the huge world-wide US influence associated with the mass communication that was being established as mainstream by that time. It were the movies, the TV shows, the music. On tech it were the electronics, then computer science and then internet. Suddenly it was a snowball: the aeronautics, the navigation, the research papers, the international treaties, you name it... all in English.

We've got to a point where if a given music is in its original language, it runs the risk of being mostly unknown, but if it's translated to English, it might be a huge success (see Claude François's Comme d'habitude vs Frank Sinatra's My Way, just to name one).

No language can ever surpass English until all this shifts to that language, and that's very unlikely to happen. US made it big at the right time, now it's too late change that.

In part because throttle and ignition control are increasingly eschewing mechanical linkages in favor of electronics. IIRC, the Camry in question had an electronic throttle, and the pedal part that experienced accelerated wear was an acetal bearing surface that was supposed to mimic the feel of a traditional throttle control. I don't know the details of this case, but acetal isn't uncommon for bearing applications.

As to why move to electronic throttle, it's mostly due to regulatory compliance.

That's fine and even important, but there are huge swathes of the American population that don't understand the distinction between research professors and folks like teachers, instructors, and lecturers.

The Tracking Protection feature is available in Firefox 36, the current release channel version. It is not exposed in the preferences UI yet, but you can flip the "privacy.trackingprotection.enabled" about:config pref. To verify that Tracking Protection is working, visit cnn.com or nytimes.com and look for the shield icon in the address bar. On my laptop, cnn.com takes 18 seconds to load without tracking protection and 4 seconds with it. If you find a website that is broken by Tracking Protection, please file a bug on Bugzilla in the "Core :: DOM: Security" component. You can click the shield icon to disable Tracking Protection for individual websites.

Tracking Protection is not an ad blocker, but some ads will be blocked as a side effect. Mozilla's prototype list is currently based on Disconnect's tracking list: http://services.disconnect.me/disconnect-plaintext.json

Will Tracking Protection be enabled by default? I don't know. Mozilla must walk a narrow line between protecting user privacy and angering publishers such that they block Firefox users.

(I work for Mozilla, but not on the Tracking Protection project.)
At a high level, one of the main goals in uProxy is to lower the bar for indirecting your traffic.

It isn't meant to provide anonymity, or to resist targeted attacks. If you're wondering where to place it, there has been some discussion on how to make it a first hop 'pluggable transport' in the tor browser bundle. Mostly though it's meant for making indirection a thing that is approachable for the majority of users who aren't at a stage where they need tor.

The part I'm most excited about is that social network support is built in a reasonably extensible way, and is quite close to supporting a much wider range of methods than what has made it into the current version.

That is the kicker, what to recommend. If at all possible I would recommend Linux or BSD. I am happy to see the article cover Ubuntu encryption. Also BSD has an embassy grade encryption, that has slipped from mind mind at the moment.

I do realize that it isn't feasible to jump ship and move to another platform for everyone. The whole Truecrypt is a bummer since it was a good cross platform tool.
By offering to buy food instead of giving cash, you are saying that you are not trusting that his pleas for money is sincere. You are calling him a liar and implying that he would be buying alcohol or drugs instead of food for the money.

It is a nice idea. I absoultely do not trust VPN providers, or external proxies, however this would feel more secure for most people. But don't forget, almost any method can be exploited, since you do not really control your packets flowing through ISPs. This project is helpful for my family which lives in Turkey and my sister lives abroad, and it is a tool that they can use. I normally setup a ssh based socks proxy to my VM when I need, but lets face it this is much more easier to use when you have a nasty ISP or blocking going on. As said on their website:

I agree that one's scaled-down is a fair bit more powerful than the effective character level would lead one to believe. Indeed, that was the point that I was trying to get across. :)

But you've got to admit that the scale-down is substantially more dramatic than in pretty much every other MMORPG, no? I mean, if you've forgotten, like spend a week or so with Firefall, then come back to the starting area. :P

Moreover, a scaled-down level 80 will get level 80 gear when killing creatures. For folks who are invested in gear collection, but have low-level friends, this makes them far more likely to play together. (Wish I'd mentioned this in my original post. :P )

It's incredibly risky taking on a project like this. In the u.s. copyright violations at this scale are now a criminal offense. And the u.s. has shown no qualms about enforcing their internal laws outside the u.s. And there have been recent examples of the NSA sharing information with the atf and so it wouldn't surprise if the nsa also shares info with the secret service or whoever is enforcing copyright these days.

And what do you get out of it? No money. No bragging rights since you're desperate to keep your contributions secret. And you will inevitably be caught.

Security involves tradeoffs. If you are a non-technical person with typical security needs, the encryption functions that are built into operating systems offer a lot of security with almost no tradeoff other than clicking a button to enable it.

Once you start layering on additional requirements for the type of encryption you are using (e.g. has to be open source, has to be audited, needs to offer no evidence of installed OS, etc.), you are creating a myriad of hoops to jump through that a non-technical person is more likely inclined to just not jump through at all.

If you are someone with security requirements that need to guarantee that no one will ever be able to access your data, including the police or feds who might have access to secret backdoors, I would hope it's common sense that you should be doing a lot more research on encryption rather than relying on a random security article aimed at non-technical people.
