Full-disk encryption is theoretically capable of preventing forensic searches of your computer.

I say "theoretically" because there might be weaknesses or backdoors in any given implementation that would permit decryption. (Hence the discussion of whether Apple's Filevault can be trusted against law enforcement.)

You might also face personal pressure to provide the key to decrypt.

As others have pointed out this is probably much more temporal and thus less useful from a privacy invasion standpoint, but eventually if someone tracks this and locks in seasonal variations it might pose a modest "threat". For me, the interesting thing is how much of a person's "scent" is derived from their microbiome? If you can tie those things together then tech that is replacing bloodhounds for identifying scent trails might be able to "home in" on someone if trained on a recent piece of clothing.

Tomato, Tomato. Both are feeding a configuration file into an external tool, and uploading the results.

So pay for a Vagrant license and get VMware Fusion as a box provider. Vagrant is a lot more than a nice wrapper around virtual machines.

Which is out, unless you develop on a Linux machine.

And here's the meat of the argument. You don't want to pay for a tool, and so you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what workflows are available once you have that tool, so you make do with the development environment you have.

He is quite skilled and very motivated, but managed to get into a situation where nobody wishes to work with him for personal reasons.

So, feel free to take these talk slides as a bird's eye overview of some things that are happened, but also take the details on p5p with an entire salt shaker.

I see it the other way around. This could help humans handle obstacles, at least if it could launch itself automatically and when it's a bit smaller so that it's really easy to carry around.

African American males could carry it. Then, when police was nearby it could launch itself. Maybe it would be triggered by the sound of sirens or if there is a website that tracks police cars, maybe it could launch every time they are near. Or maybe an apple watch could detect fear from differences in pulse and then launch it. Maybe some other trigger

A future, self launching, slightly smaller version of this could be a great protector of civil rights.

Is there really a general trend for new cars to be purchased at a non-negotiable price, with standard non-negotiable financing, and with trade-in independent of the new car purchase? I can point to some examples (including but not limited to Tesla) where at least a "no haggle" price is the case but it doesn't seem particularly common. One thing is that, while a lot of people claim to dislike negotiating, those same people want to get a real or perceived "good deal."

I guess I just disagree. Right now if WSJ comes up in your google results, the link works and you can read the article. If link didn't work and paywall appeared instead of the article, that would be a problem (which is why Google outlawed it).

It's also wrong irregardless of the shell escaping. That will not always count the number of lines in all the files under a directory that contain at least one "foo" - when shelling-out, you have to be sure to use the tools correctly:

$ >bar head -1 foo foo
$ # four lines with "foo" in file bar
$ >foo echo foo
$ mv foo 'bar

$ # one line with "foo" in file bar?baz
$ find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep foo | wc -l

$ # Wait a minute that's not five, I KNOW there five lines!

Google for "GIL Python" and have a laugh (or cry). I think that's enough backing for my statement to begin with.

Java, and so Java EE is considerably faster than Python, each and every benchmark out there proves this. Often it's up to a hundred times faster.

Java has a much richer ecosystem than Python and even more so than Ruby. Java projects are also much easier to maintain and much easier to scale.

Enough backing? It's just the start of why Java EE is the better tool ;)

I think you're underestimating several things:

1 - aol was quite expensive to use: it was a long time before they introduced flat rate pricing. When I got it in the mid 90s, you paid something like $20/mo for 15 hours (it's been a long time) and then paid something like $2/hour for every hour after that. I ran up a $60 charge and then had to be much more careful about how much time I spent online. Lesson: because aol was so expensive to use, it incentivized people to use raw internet which had much less content at that time. But some local isp offered $20/mo unlimited use pricing.

2 - they basically missed the transition to broadband

Had they realized they were a content business that had to run access infrastructure out of necessity, I think they could have had a shot at owning the internet. Thankfully they messed that up.

It all depends on time, though it's unlikely I'll do a dossier on the EFF unless something prompts it.

I will say broadly that their coverage of information sharing, surveillance law, and intellectual property is rounded down to their specific issues and narrow perspective - and these issues aren't necessarily one-for-one mappings to "what's best for the internet/civility".

One example that comes to mind was their coverage of the recent Obama Administration Executive Order 13694 [1][2] where they dropped the international purpose and nature of the order entirely, as if the sanctions weren't directed towards, and enforced by law, at actors in China and Russia (and Iran and smaller players) overseas.

Following Snowden - who truly did show that the NSA was surveiling hundreds of millions of Americans - the EFF's speculatory, alarmist and misleading coverage of national cybersecurity and civil rights confused and angered a confused and angry group of people we would rather have engaged in deliberate and reasonable debate. Namely, despite how different in kind, scope, purpose and method EO 13694 is, the EFF reported on it with the tone of the Snowden disclosures and its audience associated the two.

I have spoken, too, with the EFF - and was disappointed both by their their inability to use PGP (even after suggesting it to others) and the way they engaged with the material I provided them. [I sent them evidence of a backdoor in popular software and an analysis of a possible convenient backdoor location for a popular hardware brand; they quietly acknowledged these reports but AFAICT did nothing with them - as a comparison when I sent similar material, using PGP, to cryptome they were immediately published.]

I should not have been so disappointed by what they did with the materials I sent to them: I did not understand at the time the scope of the EFF - that even their published matrix of trustworthy communication software was a stretch of their operating scope.

So this isn't to rag so very much on the EFF. I think they have a role in advocacy and journalism and the legal landscape. I'm just not willing to invest my full and unquestioning faith in the reports of any interest group - for even those with good intentions are not infallible.

I'm not sure. His statement that all clients must be bug-for-bug compatible with Bitcoin Core is simply false. There is a big chunk of behavior that can differ from client to client without the network fragmenting and without bad consequence to the clients whose behavior diverges from the majority's.

For example, clients have complete choice about which nodes to talk to and which received transactions to propagate. In fact, clients have complete choice about all functionality that depends on data that is not (or not yet) incorporated into the blockchain.

That's why we have the notion of consensus-relevance. There is a lot of stuff in Bitcoin Core that simply is not consensus-relevant, and Bitcoin Core's developers intend to continue to segregate the consensus-relevant stuff from the stuff that any client is free to make its own choice about. Yes, in the future it might be true that there's a big kernel of code that every client needs to use, but that kernel will not be all of Bitcoin Core as we know it today.
This is my number 1 concern. There are so many vaporware hardware projects now-a-days that I'm hesitant to pre-order. I feel like I'd rather just wait because by the time this is eventually released, there may be 2-3 other products that do the same thing, only better.

This is really, really cool.

That said, flying objects are inherently dangerous. I was at a bike race and a guy was following the pack with a DJI drone. One motor suddenly failed and the thing plummeted to the ground from 40ft and broke into a bunch of pieces. Luckily, it didn't hit anyone but it would have been a major incident if it had.

There's a lot of excitement about the cool, flashy features of these drones (following, waterproof, nice camera) but no assurance that it won't suddenly break and kill someone.

I want 99.9999% reliability and strong safety guarantees as a feature.

I would run Cat6a if I was building a house, because it's the latest spec and not much more expensive, but Cat5e is still great. Standard WiFi never gets anywhere close to those speeds, is simplex, and I find a 10Mbps Ethernet (powerline) link handily outperforms a 100Mbps WiFi connection for networked file system access. (Probably either an issue with the simplex or dropped packets)

P.S. Cat5e can still do 1Gbps, just not over quite as great a distance as Cat6. Although Cat5e definitely isn't rated for 10Gbps (nor is vanilla Cat6 for that matter)
