I disagree. I think there's a lot more to mead than "diluted honey." Varietal honey produces different flavors, not to mention all the variations you can produce by adding juices and spices. It's also one of the few home

There is a big difference between static and dynamic checking. In a statically checked language like Haskell the error is guaranteed to be caught at compile time rather than maybe being caught runtime.

It's hard to know which way the causality goes here. It might just be that really exceptional undergrads happen to end up in grad school (because of pressure from professors or family, or simply because "it's just what smart people do"), ev

Very well could be. That address also received a large amount of coins from the cold wallet on the 18th. http://blockchain.info/tx/f0dba606f4d245c49a165035eabe345794...

Ah wait a minute. That address is worth $4.3m, but the number of coins transfered from Instawallet cold storage is $1.5m. There are three transactions. One is old. Two are new, and only one of the new ones is labeled as "Instawallet Cold St

If it's actual cold storage, then it's probably just them taking precautions. The whole point of cold storage is to make the wallet immune to a server breach. But who knows? It sounds like their security was sloppy.

Since the last half of the password is partially determined by the first half, this doesn't add much additional entropy (an attacker only has to guess your phrase, and which options you've selected). In practice this may help in a security

It actually does help, and the concept behind it is called pipelining [1]. Suppose there's a sink that washes and dries, and there are two people who want to use it. The second person will spend 30 seconds waiting, and 30 seconds washing/dr

Ah I see this was in reference to your convergent encryption post above. Point taken. Assuming that it works this way, it would allow Mega to figure out if you own a known "bad" file. Just take something like "New_Jay-Z_Album.zip," hash it,

Deriving the key from the plaintext + the ciphertext is called a known-plaintext attack [1]. AES isn't vulnerable to this. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Known-plaintext_attack#Present_...

According to Ars, the public sharing works by bundling the encryption key with the link to the data [1]. I don't have reliable access to the site, so I don't want to speculate too much, but I suppose there must be a way to export your keys

According to the help page, no keys (except the public key) ever leave the client [1]. [1] https://mega.co.nz/#help_security EDIT: The senario in the posts above sound more likely. The exact text of the help is "No usable encryption key

Well, as long as we're picking nits, an FSM accepts only regular languages, while a rail road diagram accepts context-free languages[1]. So a railroad diagram isn't really the "view" for an FSM. A state-diagram or state-transition table is

An attacker might be looking over your shoulder, and see the first characters of your password. Or he might read HN, and see that your preferred passphrase method is composed of english sentences with common substitutions. Maybe a website y
