One thing I'd like to see modeled is how many excess deaths they cause in, for example, London. Driving in London is already very safe because the street design prevents people going very fast. American roads are, by comparison, unsafe

This is presented as a fact, but lacks documented real-world instances, direct measurements, or even any proxy measures that suggest it's actually happening.

One thing that's potentially different, at least for Facebook, is the network effect. It only takes a few friends to start using Facebook for event planning for people to start missing events or worrying about missing out. That extra p

I don't think the author read even the Wikipedia page on Napoleon's invasion of Russia? Napoleon _did_ have reasons for attacking Russia, he _did_ prepare logistics. His motives, rationale, and actions are well-documented and wide

I've seen this happen to a friend. Back in the noughties they built a home NAS similar to the one in the article, using fewer (smaller) drives. It was in RAID5 configuration. It lasted until one drive died and a second followed it duri

p.14: "Because 99.999% availability provides for less than 5 minutes of downtime per year, every operation performed to the system in production will need to be automated and tested with the same level of care. With a 5 minute per year

"Start viewing willpower as a resource that can be depleted, and make sure you aren’t wasting it on trivial things." The concept of ego depletion is not as certain as it once was. http://www.slate.com/articles&#x2F

Hey! What's the layman's 2-minute definition of a time crystal? The name makes it sound very sci-fi, like it might have the ability to travel through time (!)

I am equally suspicious of creating a government agency for tracking all citizens. However, I worry that your proposed solution has three significant caveats. Firstly, reliability tends to change slowly. Banks might not be tracking this, so

This. Make your _business_ case, not a technical case. This applies to software engineering, security engineering, etc. The above comment does not absolve you from doing cool things, it's just that the cool things should align with bus

I know it's really asking a huge amount, but my 2FA wish-list for 2017 is: 1. U2F in all browsers. 2. U2F on all the services I consider important (Google, GitHub, Facebook, etc.) 3. U2F setup on the above services without a ph

The best thing I can suggest is regular, invisible backups. Ensure that it's very difficult for them to avoid doing the backups, and make sure that what ever holds the backups is a battle-hardened. Social engineering is a broad problem

fail2ban and similar tools are standard, widely used, quick to configure, and very effective at removing noise. You won't need to hassle to configuration of any new or existing clients, vulnerability scanners, etc.

This is an interesting read, but it's worth digging down into the particulars. In particular: > Is adding obscurity the best use of my resources given the controls I have in place, or would I be better off adding a different (non-ob

I'm not sure your point about Java 7 is correct. The docs ( http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/securi... ) state that it is a SHA1PRNG, seeded with "true random". So

I actually really like the language, but there are several key points which stop me from using it in any production systems: First and foremost, the build system. Oh god, the build system. Cabal is wonderful in some respects, but I have oft

I'm surprised that we're still using this as a bit of a hack in the future. In the project I'm working on, when we substantially optimise a section of code, we move the un-optimised, believed-good, version. It becomes an orac

It depends on your needs, and what you want to do. If you're a big Pythonista, perhaps Jython is worth a look in. Lisper? Look more towards Clojure. Need to be able to hire developers? Plain Java will help you on that front. Often, cho
