I agree that the use of "photoshop" was misleading and distracting. I went into the article expecting to learn about the industry standard software application for modifying sound recordings. It wasn't until a few paragraph

You can still do that on-demand retraction as long as the hash is fed something from the database that you can change. IIRC, Django uses both password and last login timestamp inside the hash. If you needed to invalidate someone's tok

Rocket != App Container. This PR is about the latter. There are already non-Rocket implementations of the App Container spec. If I were a Docker user, and found some awesome app that only came packaged in App Container format, it'd b

The paper linked from the article goes into this a bit. (Though I just skimmed it.) The authors started by thinking people who had similar answers would be more attracted, but found that wasn't the case. Just the act of opening up s

Doh. You're right. I did the math with 7 day weeks.

No country mandates 6 weeks. The highest is Austria with a total of 38 days between paid vacation and holidays. Most of Europe is around 30 days. See http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2014/08/13/one-

I think Keurig's and Lexmark's definition of success might be different than yours though. They don't need the DRM to be unbreakable. They just need to protect their market enough that the benefits (to them) of the DRM exce

What Lexmark lost in court was a case that they brought claiming that the DRM circumvention violated the DMCA. There's no law or case prohibiting printer makers or coffee machine makers from implementing locks like this though. htt

Whether Velociraptor uses Rocket or not, implementing the App Container Spec seems like a no brainer. I've made https://bitbucket.org/yougov/velociraptor/issue/136 .
