It's all about life cycle. A typical car lives for nearly 15 years. There are huge numbers of 15-20 year-old cars on the road today. An introduction of a new type of car won't change the life cycle dynamics. Even if auto manufacturers manage to sell 50% of new electric cars in 10 years, there will be tens of millions of old gasoline cars on the road ... just because people keep driving them.
furthering efficient use of time exponentially aggregates along with technological innovation. Does the cotton processor offer spite towards the cotton gin because human hands no longer labor hours over a single thread? Does the wheat sower languish over automated processes future backs will not bend perpetually towards the earth? Perhaps, but the rest of society marveled at the increased efficiencies.

As someone born around the turn of the century I will never have to carry a map with me, will never have to memorize phone numbers, will never have to look up job openings (or any other piece of dynamic social information) in a newspaper, will never own a house phone, will never pay for TV subscription -- heck, i'll never own a TV! Such things are inefficient and antiquated. I can now contact anyone of my friends and share my experience -- in real time, anywhere on Earth! Instantaneous communication is fucking amazing.
Me thinks even the Greeks would not have too much problem putting the German code on their new notes. Of course this would be interpreted as a declaration of war by the eu so it would not be wise.

To be fair, the vast majority of the bailouts have gone to paying back debts. Those debts were held with corporate German and foreign banks.

And here is the kicker; Those debts are now held by the ECB, which, is not supposed to be a lender of last resort, but now has become one by default. The corporate banks are now safe and have extricated themselves from the risky position they found themselves in 5 years ago.

The ECB doesn't care either way. Schauble secretly welcomes a Grexit, because without external support Greece can't move to a new Drachma. The logistics are just impossible by themselves. Schauble wants the rest of the Eurozone to witness what will happen when you exit the Euro without support (it won't be pretty).

Did Dragos ever claim that BadBIOS used sound as an infection mechanism rather than a side-channel for communications between systems which were already infected?

If memory serves, nothing he claimed was something that hasn't been demonstrated to be possible – only that the combination would have had to be better executed than anything we've ever seen before and, of course, the evidence never materialized. That fits with the current consensus that it was the product of some sort of mental issue – it's the superset of everything a security researcher might know to be theoretically possible.

The trick that helps me is to do a iterative deepening learning. For example when you are reading a long book on a complicated topic, don't try to study every chapter perfectly before you move on to the next chapter. Things will fall off your head pretty quickly anyway. Instead, I would quickly skim through the book, get familiar with the main ideas and concepts (but not too deep into the details). Then on the next iteration I'd go deeper. You'll find that some chapters will require more iterations and some not. Also try to identify the important parts of knowledge that you need to learn and focus on that.
That agreement put up seals and cameras on their existing reactor to prevent them from reprocessing without us knowing. When W Bush began laying his case to invade Iraq, NK saw that compliance with inspections wasn't a guarantee of safety so they broke the seals. Bush and the UN knew immediately and simply declined to act. Opting instead to pursue mythical WMDs in Iraq.
France has been on a decline since many years. They are slowly de-industrialising, and there is no sign that this trend is going to revert any time soon. [1]

So either they get their act together, which will be very hard due to mentality and political culture, or it will get much worse before it gets better. If France falls, it will be the end of the Euro. Germany is trying to fix these issues, in order to save the historical project of the European Union. Saying that Germany is just economically invading Greece is dishonest, there are huge amounts of German (and other country's) taxpayer money involved. Most people have written them off already.

The Dangers of Self-Reference

Public relations pioneer Edward Bernays refined the creation and use of press releases.

Propaganda was used by the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and others to rally for domestic support and demonize enemies during the World Wars, which led to more sophisticated commercial publicity efforts as public relations talent entered the private sector. Most historians believe public relations became established first in the US by Ivy Lee or Edward Bernays (he felt this manipulation was necessary in society), then spread internationally. Many American companies with PR departments spread the practice to Europe when they created European subsidiaries as a result of the Marshall plan.
> New York and California have comparatively high tax rates, enormous housing costs and expensive wages.

That's why I'm bombarded with ads that brag about NY's startup program that allows you to operate for 10 years with NO taxes?

http://startup.ny.gov/
http://esd.ny.gov/BusinessPrograms/Taxes_Incentives.html

Anyhow, like I said - businesses and people will pay taxes if they see value - beyond NY's tax free startup program, those are the 2 most populous US states (access to labour). That is a competitive advantage. There's also easier access to financial capital - another advantage.

People don't necessarily go to where the taxes are the cheapest - they go to where there's the best combination of access to labour, capital, customers, taxes, etc... (or they stay put if they think their current location is 'good enough')

Think of human behaviour as a maximization curve - a constant attempt to attain maximum "utility" of our time.

> E.g. Estonia is much better on all these metrics, but income levels are similar or below Greece.

Estonia, business-wise, seems to have quite a few things going for it.

http://www.lowtax.net/features/Estonias-Advantages-571583.ht...

Just reiterates what I'm saying - paying taxes is based on a number of factors, none of them morality (not on a large scale anyway).

Edit - if Greece wants to collect more tax money, they need to provide a good reason for people to pay tax money. Given that the world is a big place and anyone with enough money can move quite easily, it needs to be a more compelling reason than the fear of punishment.

This is the most interesting Hacking Team revelation yet.

First, a production UEFI bootkit! Yahoo! That's a milestone.

Second, fiddling with Bitcoin wallets. Between the bootkit and the Bitcoin fiddling, Hacking Team is just a small step away from a Zeus Botnet. That is, HT is hanging ten on the precipice of crime, it looks like.

Third, this line from HT CEO David Vincenzetti:

a modification of the actual Bitcoiin [sic], something different, fully traceable and supported by clearing houses and the global financial system as a whole might have a future.

If truly Vincenzetti's viewpoint, that line demonstrates a slide to authoritarianism. According to accounts, Vincenzetti was an early privacy advocate. A cypherpunk wouldn't be able to speak the phrase "fully traceable" except as an insult.

Are we seeing the result of money corrupting, or are authoritarian world views the inevitable result of working in the defense industrial complex?

It's the latter - Apple will let the authorities access messages. Telegram will not. And simply blocking the Telegram website does not mean that the app won't continue to function in China. Which is why the authorities likely decided to launch a DDoS attack, so they could silence the human rights lawyers that were using it to communicate.
Coverage at the time only mentioned the audio claims as a side channel for systems which were already infected:

http://blog.erratasec.com/2013/10/badbios-features-explained...

“Dragos believes that two infected computers can communicate with each other over the audio port in frequencies above human hearing, thus allowing an "air gapped" computer to still communicate over the Internet.”

http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/10/meet-badbios-the-mys...

“Ruiu said he arrived at the theory about badBIOS's high-frequency networking capability after observing encrypted data packets being sent to and from an infected laptop that had no obvious network connection with—but was in close proximity to—another badBIOS-infected computer.”

EDIT: just to be clear, I think this was some sort of mental breakdown but as Rob Graham noted none of what was described was obviously impossible – it would just have had to be executed at a higher level than we've seen before, even with something like Stuxnet, with e.g. exploits & persistent rootkits for huge ranges of hardware.

Yes, Varoufakis mentioned: "Based on months of negotiation, my conviction is that the German finance minister wants Greece to be pushed out of the single currency to put the fear of God into the French and have them accept his model of a disciplinarian eurozone."

Usually, national pride > Euro pride.

Regarding the specific issues you raised, I may mention it, not out of pride, but just as concrete examples of things that work fine elsewhere and could work in the US, despite what some conservative folks would want you to believe.

Cool to see my city on HN this morning! They are doing tours of the system again for those interested: https://www.cincymuseum.org/programs/heritage#subway

They are only done a few times a year, but at least it is offered. We also have lots of underground preprohibition brewery tunnel tours as well. There's a lot of old stuff in the city. However, it's only been the last 2 years or so that downtown has slowly been revitalized with life instead of abandoned buildings.
Re:Progress

Well, i sort of disagree. I agree that all progress isn't positive, but the problem is you can't really know that in the current timeframe. "progress" very often contains one (or more) steps back for every step forward. In the future, after the concept as matured, we will know if it is positive or not. But that is exactly how this works.

Sure, we can only use well tested, well understood, and well functioning concepts - but we already do that. What you are experiencing is bleeding edge, and we do not do bleeding edge where it really matters. Eg, good luck finding Nasa pulling this crap haha. In places where it is far less important, where you as a company/person have decided to use a product that is newer (probably for the sake of not being old, stale, and "safe"), then you have clearly chosen to accept the tradeoffs.
We're used to negotiations resulting in agreements that limit states between themselves; disarmament treaties, border negotiations, etc. Or things with a single well-telegraphed purpose (anti-drug treaties do what they say).

Treaties that bind the parties to enact domestic law that constrains what ordinary members of the public can do are another matter. It's a way to make law that cannot be reverted by a subsequent administration.
"the Euro has massively lifted the economic prospects of tens if not hundreds of millions of people in a measly 10 or 15 years"

Actually, no. The Euro has been mostly negative for all but a few of the eurozone countries. Portugal is a good example of this, as it has its economy has regressed to pre-Euro levels and there is a growing consensus that the Euro will keep its net-negative effect for the forseable future.

Nobody wants to get out of the Euro because of the exit shock and uncertainty, not because they see anything positive from staying inside.

The Euro was built basically as a renamed Deutshe Mark and this has never been fixed. Right now it's clear that it never will. A strong currency is always bad for weaker economies, which is pretty evident in the Greek case.

And this is a normal view of the world.
> You can't get away from the boastfulness out of Scandinavia, Germany, France, the UK, the Netherlands - about how they're all superior to America on any given topic. I've yet to find a major forum where this doesn't occur.

You do realize all these "boasts" tend to come from people who don't live, and usually have never lived, in said countries, right? Not to mention the whole Scandinavia deal which comes 99% from americans talking about it like it's the true land of the free, or something. Scandinavia's pretty great for a lot of reasons, don't get me wrong, but unless you're frequenting very nationalistic forums, poeple tend to complain about their country rather than boast it. The grass is always greener in the other country. (Except for Scotland. The grass is greenest in Scotland.)
I don't know, this somehow seems to ignore the case when chapters rely on something that should be clear from previous chapters. It happened to me a lot when I was at University that I'd think to just skim over a chapter, poorly understand the following one and that would snowball as soon as I reached the end of the book.
It isn't up to the individual states. The Feds can and do keep various states afloat through a variety of transfer institutions. Texas in the 1980s had to get a bailout of over 30% of its GDP due to the Savings and Loan crisis and resulting (ahem) debt forgiveness by the FDIC. New York certainly got a massive injection from the Central Bank during the fall of Long Term Capital Management. Mississippi and Alabama have been net benefitors from taxpayers in other states via entitlement programs for a generation now.

Well, if the Greeks would agree with your idea, they'd do it, don't you think? And if they'd really think they'd be better off leaving the Euro, they would, no? Instead, they are willing to accept drastic measures, and even Varoufakis has all eyes set on staying in the Euro zone, even if only in a farcical way (his 'we'll issue Euro-denominated bonds ourselves even if the ECB cuts us out' fantasy).

The way I see it, they want to stay in the Euro no matter what. Everybody saying 'leave the Euro' seems to know better for them than they do?
de-centralize.
because this is a red herring, likely not true, and besides the point: the point is that the 5 years of austerity, privatizations, and privations have ruined the Greek economy, made it impossible to achieve the surplus goals mandated, and basically ensured that there will be no way to exit the debt. further application of the same medicine is stupid, unless you are TRYING to destroy and divide-up Greece, hence the metaphors discussed.
A constructive economic policy needs to replace austerity as the Eurogroup medicine for economies like Greece, as we can see that it doesn't work.
There is also the issue that you seem to be unaware of how the actual situation has progressed over the last decade, the last 3 Greek governments, the surpluses achieved in a short period of time during attempted reforms, the negative effects of privatization, capital flight, etc.
There is also the issue of you thinking that German or other EU taxpayers are being asked to bail out Greece. The ECB run the Greek central banks. Those banks have gotten over 1/3 of all bailout assets for recapitalization goals. Interest earned on Greek money is being held by the ECB. The Greek people didn't need any of this to live. They grow more food than you do in Germany, and the entire economic game was set-up in Benelux, Germany, France, etc, anyway, and the Greek economy was never at their level in the first place, and so a common currency was filled with lots of German Submarine deals etc. Look at your auto industry. I live in Portugal. We don't make any cars here anymore, except so-called-German-ones (VW) or French ones. The profit chain always leads back up north. We are just the dummies making your olive oil.
If the Eurogroup wishes to defend their senseless actions, they will of course suggest that you, the bloc taxpayers, are on the hook. If you are smart enough to see through their attempts to divide, you will see that the bloc IS paying for all of this clowning around, all of the time, and that the problem is related to the general European banking sector's relationship with international finance, the ECB & national-bank relations not being linked to any public policy we can meaningfully democratically participate in, wolf-like behavior of groups like the IMF, and I'm sorry to say the Eurogroup, and their economic interests etc...
Furthermore, as most of the student leaders and politicians opposed to the Shah were leftists, the US continued to undermine efforts for them to organize (lest they side with the USSR). So that, when a popular uprising finally did occur, the clergy were the only group with sufficient organizational structure left that they could form a new administration...thus bringing us to today.
BIOS also got very large and complex, that's why there was such need for it to be replaced. In both the case of the BIOS and the case of uEFI, it is possible to protect them from tampering or not.

A lot of what you're saying is largely FUD, since all you're doing is listing off random uEFI features and waving your hands around while implying it is "bad" and we're all doomed. But you haven't pointed out a single reason why it is worse than BIOS, in fact BIOS is even more of a "black box" in many cases and thus was even more security through obscurity.

Several uEFI implementations have a checkbox that when unchecked will simply block all updates. If you uncheck that and enable a password, many of these persistent threats are stopped in their tracks. If you know of a specific alternative vector for installation, then contact the manufacturer as a matter of security.

The only reason that uEFI malware is taking off is not because uEFI is inherently more insecure, but instead because uEFI is better documented, it is easier to get reference builds, and easier for people to learn. But, again, all you've done is exchange obscurity (BIOS) for known threats (uEFI). Either way an expert monied adversary (e.g. state security services) could launch an attack.
