Let me quote from "PGP & GPG -- EMAIL FOR THE PRACTICAL PARANOID":

You can send someone else’s public key to an old-style keyserver. Although you might think this would be a favor, it’s actually extremely rude. The public key owner might have reasons for not using a keyserver and might prefer to distribute his public key via some other method—or he might not want to publicize the key at all beyond a small group of people.

Never publicize someone else’s key for them!

Now, if your reply reiterates your argument that public keys are public because it's in the name, duh, then I can't help..
Possibly, but:

1. I found the phone more inclined to stop listening, but maybe you know a better way?

2. It was really nice to be able to tell my father in law "just call this number and say the names of things as you go" when he was helping.

Great point, though.
It says at least a little bit about the sexual politics of the industry. In two ways: For one, there just haven't been very many women in the field, for a variety of reasons that I should hope I don't need to enumerate here.

Second, what few there have been still have a tendency to get overlooked. I'd hope to have at least seen Liskov & Wing's 1994 paper in this list.

No thankyou. I can certainly understand including SSH support, but I don't want what is pretty much the only remaining viable non-Unix platform to start bundling horribly dated and clunky Unix-like commands and bloated GNU tools.
To me it makes sense that the FBI needs a fleet of surveillance planes for investigations. It also makes sense that these aircraft carry civilian livery to be low-profile (same idea as an unmarked pursuit car).

What seems f-ked up are the shell companies. Why not come out and say "we have surveillance planes; we need them for investigations; here's how much money we've allocated in our budget to operate them."

The FBI shouldn't need to hide this.

Two SKUs, and then a bunch more; whole list currently is: Home, Mobile, Pro, Enterprise, Education, Mobile Enterprise, IoT core. There are also upcoming still unnamed "industrial" SKUs. Oh, and of course MS is going to offer 32 bit versions too.

Also of course there will also be full suite of Windows Server SKUs, because obviously those are completely different from the client OS...

The reason that no one has given yet is that you can monitor more carefully when you have a VPN. With a VPN, you can follow the bastion model; the VPN server runs only the VPN code and nothing else (with as much crap removed as possible), with a really restrictive SELinux policy, every tiny error logged and forwarded.

So now, since any attack has to be through the bastion, and all bastion errors are looked at by a human (because there should be only a few of them), then you're more likely to notice a breach more quickly because it won't become caught up in your general logs.

It should be noted that it's as easily possible to have the bastion server run an SSH server, and allow SSH access to other servers on your network.

The quality of the connexion has little to do with geography or urban planning, but national unity and pride: think of South Korea as the country that builds both the largest boats and the fanciest (non-Apple) phones. Large engineering companies are helped by an alignement of government and industrial elites. Other countries with similar traditions (France, Sweden) have large militaro-industrial complexes, in addition to faster internet speeds than the US. Rather than make weapons, South Korea focused on telecoms and boats.
They have futuristic speeds because they wanted to, and every one in charge (real estate promoters, local officials) made that happen. They did not stop to install fibre because the mayor didn’t get his pork-barrel, their cut over sales of new flats, or because models projected the installation would not be profitable if only x% of local users would switch to the Premium option: they built it, because internet access was good for everyone.

Yes, actually; enforcing all of the laws all of the time is completely impractical. If you want always-on enforcement of every law, then we're going to have to seriously reform all of the laws. So, WRT your comment, I would tell you that it is my preference that laws be enforced to solve a specific social problem, not merely for the sake of enforcing a law.
I wonder if I will be alive if they ever figure out how the Placebo Effect works? With discoveries like this--maybe? I always used the Placebo Effect as the existence of a God.

They didn't reinvent the wheel. Bash was intended for a Unix environment with all the corresponding utilities.

PowerShell was designed for a Windows/.NET environment, which is undeniably different, and they also took the opportunity to create an object oriented shell instead of a text oriented one.

I also like C# but I do feel it makes a pretty poor scripting/shell language.

I do think SSH is long overdue, but based on the post it looks like the developers have always been on the right track - management just wouldn't let them do it. Really glad this is changing.

"Hmm. They can now have a path to obsolete cmd. As long as they ship a decent ssh client with the system, users will become accustomed to ssh-ing to their own box instead of using cmd."

I'm not sure I understand what you mean here ...

My OS X desktop/laptop (for instance) have ssh on them, but I almost never ssh to them ... I just open up a local terminal window.

Genuinely curious as to why one would ssh to their windows system rather than just run cmd.exe ...
> if any part of your security architecture relies on a public key being private then it would seem flawed

What about your privacy architecture? Can the public key be derived from a packet capture of SSH? My quick session with Wireshark and layman's protocol/crypto understanding says probably not. But it seems possible that while the crypto may be designed such that the public key may be public without endangering the cryptography, there are still privacy reasons (being able to identify people by unique public key) to not share it any more widely than it needs to be.

For example, it seems like I have read that PGP public keys can be read in the clear, which allows metadata graphs to be built by passive interceptors. Maybe SSH doesn't have that issue though.
The FBI using front companies for aerial surveillance of suspects seems fine to me; That's just doing their job of criminal investigation.

The worrying part is seeing their planes overhead for hours at a time, which looks more like potential persistent surveillance, or a dragnet that sweeps up hundreds or thousands of people into whatever video/cellphone recording they're doing.

It's listed on Indiegogo, and it's listed as flexible funding (which means they take the money even if they get less than they admit it will take to reach the goal).

You speak as if industrial farming is the only way to grow food, but of course that's false.[1] In fact after subtracting out government subsidies (including subsidies on chemical inputs) industrial farm fields are a net loss. TL;DR industrial ag is a way of funneling your tax dollars to chemical companies.

Chemical use can be eliminated (yes, even to grow cereals!) by cultivating healthy living soil. The easiest way is with green mulches/cover crops, which serve the same thermodynamic functions but using sunlight instead of fossil fuel.

* Legumes fix nitrogen. Yep, solar powered.

* Insect predators eat pests. They're part of the food chain, so they're solar powered.

* Deep rooted plants[2] bring up minerals (essentially micro-scale mining on site in response to mineral deficiencies) and make soil. Photosynthesis, natch.

You get the idea.

I don't really have to say that an erosive food system that compromises humanity's only closed-loop habitat is a bad value, do I?

(I can't believe I'm writing this phrase seriously...) Needs more synergy.

The page shows a large list of things I really don't care about, explaining how it'll make it easier to do things I don't find interesting at all. And its presented as a closed isolated silo. More than that, a collection of silos.

I have a gut feeling there must be some kind of synergy, some connectivity, some compatibility thing that would make a connected car useful, somehow. If someone messages you about your ETA or location it messages its best guess back, perhaps. Or it links to your google calendar to remind you about service appointments or google docs to store and graph long term trends in fuel economy or engine performance. Or predicts on your google calendar based on past use patterns and current tank level when you'll next need to fuel up (so reserve an extra 5 mins on the way to work the day after tomorrow, etc). Or has some kind of car brand oriented community / upload feature where citizens and mechanics who know a lot about toyotas can see my engine upload and, I donno, social web 2.0's me right in the inbox. Or integrates with social location services so I can become mayor of my local gas station automatically (does anyone still use that stuff?). Or integrates traffic/route stuff with live weather radar. Automatic facebook like any place you stop at? Integrate into google now for the benefit of the 5 people who still use google now? And G+ while you're at it? I'm sure putting some actual effort into it could unsilo the app and connectivity and synergy it all up into something more than the sum of its parts.

I don't need another "Its Torque, but our ODB-II scanner costs 3 times as much" or "We're a copy of waze with a new name, which you won't use because of cognitive load while driving so you won't like us (waze makes me uncomfortable while I'm driving)". Especially if the only distinction is something like "Our only difference is we're on kick starter instead of the competitors that have been on the app store forever, and we're from India, and our web design is super cool web 3.0".
Its a bit of both.

If the data pins are shorted facing the device (so that the device detects its own outgoing signal on the incoming pin) it will consider the port a dumb charger port and attempt to charge from it based on the cable quality.

If there is a proper port response, and the port claim to be a charging port, the device can ask for more than 500mA in increments of 100mA. There will be limitations depending on there being ongoing data traffic or not.
And I questioned why the OP made such a one-sided example, one that falls squarely in line with those who -- empirically -- disproportionally benefit financially from a divorce.

I'm suggesting that the main concern should be the well-being of the children. Most marriages fail, because the spouses get bored and tired of each other, and feel that the grass could be greener somewhere else. I don't think that's good enough a reason for divorce. At least wait until the children have left the home.

I would have almost simply started recording a macro, convert the first one using as many idempotent normal mode commands in place of insert mode commands as possible, and simply replayed it. Thanks for the idea.

As a side note, I love how Vim is basically a functional programming language for text editing.
It's different in that none of this is actually science fiction, but just science. All the tech is already there. There's just one more step until we reach AI level.

In 1956 it was impossible. Today, all of this is almost here.
The path to AI is inevitable, but it branches into many - we should try and find a way to pick the right one before we reach the crossroads.

> complicated third-party installs

Wait, isn't that nearly everything you ever install on Windows? Not complicated per se, but everything is third party and not signed by people maintaining Windows (as with most GNU/Linux distributions).
In the short term, yes, except adapters with multiple ports like apple's USB-c To HDMI adaptor that has both an HDMI port and another USB port to plug in power. Long term.. I would expect projectors/displays to supply power to their connected laptop.
I think you're confused about the meaning of the terms "reasonable" and "assumption". An assumption isn't unreasonable just because it turns out to be untrue. As I said, there may be realities of the market that invalidate the assumption (and apparently there are).
you can still map the functionality to shortcuts of your liking.
> Hmm. They can now have a path to obsolete cmd. As long as they ship a decent ssh client with the system, users will become accustomed to ssh-ing to their own box instead of using cmd.

Baby steps! SSH is a transport protocol, not a shell. If you SSH to your own box, you're just going to get PowerShell.
Wait a minute, isn't this the main reason Google is blocking all offline extension installs across all platform soon and enforcing all installations to be done via its web store?

Why is Dropbox wasting time on something that's about to be broken soon? Unless they have a deal with Google to allow this? If so, isn't that anti-competitive?

This article misses a lot of things.

First of all, it's not what SV can learn from them, it's US carriers and gov't who should learn from Korea.

Second, SV companies are doing just fine, creating products that are right for the market under given infrastructure. Should the market/infrastructure change, SV companies will adapt and create products/services fit for the market. I don't believe SV companies' products behind. They are just right for the markets they serve, as Korean products are right for Korean market.

I also make liberal use of '/' to get around. Sometimes the bit you want is a line or two down so 't' doesn't quite cut it.

I use t / f a lot when cutting things, though there's probably a better way (from the article, I just discovered gn to visually select the next item matching the previous search).

eg, I might have a name that I want to replace in a couple of spots so I find it easy to do something like:

It's generally when it's a bit less calculated. If I knew I was replacing a load of stuff I'd use :%s/AIDOS/NEWNAME/gc

It's about building a comprehensive security model -- the author of what you quoted would be wrong if he suggests public keys should be considered, at any time, by anyone, to be anything less than public.

Any security model that relies on a public key not being known is a bad security model.

How "rude" an activity is only matters when you're dealing with people who care if you think they're being "rude", and in PKI that's not possible because your public key must be given to untrusted parties.

What's more relevant is the attack surface you present by exposing your public key. Since your security model already assumes they have it through other means, you've given your attacker no new information.

Hiding your public key is textbook "security through obscurity".

Edit: I tweeted the author of the quote you gave (Michael W. Lucas, @mwlauthor) about the above article, I'll try and get him to chime in on our discussion if I can.
Oh, you're right. I missed the part about the 680 SEK / day cap.

I have seen hacks/workarounds to toString() functions and inject them into the DOM, but it is unfortunate that this is required for inline web worker use.
