It's always a matter of implementation. SCTP is the solution to the problem that Multipath TCP is trying to solve. The biggest challenge is the penetration of TCP libraries vs. SCTP libraries.

Surely you realize that local governments have been doing this in all sorts of industries. The give property tax abatements to WalMart or sales tax abatements for equipment deployed in a data center within their borders. This is nothing ne

Why would you believe that? Google makes a lot of money on ads. This is the broadcast television model applied to Internet service. They can subsidize their service with ad revenue (cablecos do this too) and still make money. But you don'

This thing is bigger than Austin or Kansas City. This is Google's answer to the cold war declared on the Internet by Comcast and Time-Warner Cable. Do any of you remember when Comcast was complaining that Google was making billions of dolla

That's a claim that hasn't been independently verified. Absent such proof, I'd expect there to be a ready mechanism to get key material off the chip. Even if the claim is correct, there is no guarantee that the implementation that does use

It's worth noting that I got dragged into this project when the District Court ruled that "information service providers" were subject to regulation under CALEA. This kicked off a huge project to bring the IP network into compliance. It's

When IOS 6.1.4 gets pushed to your iPhone in the future, consider how difficult it would be for Apple to add code that copies your privately generated keys back to Apple for "key-escrow purposes".

Apple can get access to the keys because they control the platform. I have no doubt in my mind that Apple can produce end-user keys and traffic if they were served a warrant from any US court.

by Nrsolis 14y ago
If the end user isn't managing the keys, and the service provider is then the law states that they MUST provide decrypted traffic or provide the keys to decrypt the traffic to law enforcement.

I really want the Pixel to get some traction. UNfortunately, the tiny SSD and no USB3.0 kill it for me.

They just take OEM laptops and sell them. They aren't doing any actual system design or driver writing to make sure that everything works correctly.

EXACTLY. We're constantly a step or two behind in terms of platform support. Why isn't there a top-tier platform company (or nimble upstart) out there taking the lead and making a machine that has 100% driver support under Linux? I am hold

I really, really want to go to a full Linux desktop. What keeps holding me back are dumb things like video driver support, peripheral support for things I use, and general awkwardness with the whole plug/unplug state of affairs that is de r

This is more likely to appeal to organizations that have strict requirements for SSL certificates. So the HSMs in this instance would protect the SSL private keys for certain industries that must maintain strong guarantees that an attacker

I went to public school with Sheryl Sandberg at North Miami Beach Sr. High School. She was a senior while I was a junior. Her little brother was my lab partner in AP Chemistry. It really was a fantastic school. Some parents would put the

Except that more spectrum isn't free and is a finite resource. It isn't fair to dismiss one carrier as not being viable (which is what I took from your original post) if they can compete along a different axis more efficiently when compare

Sorry. Wrong again. When a cell reaches capacity, you subdivide the cell. e.g. You turn a single 3-sector cell into three smaller cells. Each cell operates in either a different frequency range or in the case of OFDMA (LTE) via a remappi

How about not dealing with sketchy people who need hidden compartments in their vehicles? Why is that not an option from the outset? I hate to say it, but I find the range of "legal" uses for a hidden compartment in a moving vehicle to be

Just an FYI: The primary challenge to the mobile operators is backhaul from the base stations, not spectrum. At any given tower/site, you've only got a certain amount of fixed facilities from the local wireline carrier that are available.

The sad truth is that grown people acting like children is far more common than you'd expect. This is not a phenomenon exclusive to the technology industry. Whether it's fashionistas, dock-workers, or politicos, people will be people. In s

I think the take-away here is that they were BOTH representatives of their respective companies and their actions reflected poorly on BOTH of them. If there is one constant in business, it's that some people will constantly make bad choices

I think the relevant term is "exigent circumstances". The 4th amendment only covers "unreasonable" search and seizures. Anything "reasonable" is still OK.

I'd like to second this comment. Depression as a syndrome is something that segments of the population have varying levels of susceptibility. Part of the "cure" is learning to distinguish when you are exhibiting the symptoms of depression

Here is one example: someone is listed as an incorporator (or "promoter") that can't legally be one. Or, ineligible parties are on board of directors. You name it, it's been done. But more generally, forming a corporation means that you h

Google "piercing the corporate veil" if you'd like an example of what can go wrong. Generally speaking, you want to incorporate a C-corp or LLC in the state where you do business. Alternatively, you can use a biz-friendly state like DE and

My experience has been wildly different. I've had attorneys tell me more than once that something I needed done wasn't worth hiring an attorney to do. SO... get some time on the pond before you go planting a flag and declaring victory. Q.E
