I have been an avid reader since a young age and around the time I turned 15 I discovered and quickly became scornful of self help books. However, one self help book which I recently discovered and completely changed my life is "Rewire

Quite interesting, thanks for your findings. FWIW, in the same vein as CloudFormation but for OpenStack, there is OpenStack HEAT which is, IMHO, quite good. Pure speculation but perhaps the issue at hand is that Terraform is trying to act a

I would first point out that it is not really a claim but a simply observable fact for anyone with a brokerage account, check the available market depth at any given price to see how many shares can be sold into the available bid before hav

First of all, market capitalisation is only the measure of the number of outstanding shares multiplied by the current price. You are absolutely kidding yourself if you think that all the FB shares in existence could be sold at the current N

But how do you know with any certainty that it is showing you all the things you drfinitely care about? I find it only highlights one in every ten tweets I care about, so I still need to scroll through and read everything because it has m

As one current example: I just logged in to fb (Android app) for the first time today and was shown a post shared by a friend. I left a commmment and was shown a weird message "will be shown once online". Never seen it before, but

The problem here is the assumption that the algorithm will do a half decent job at showing you important tweets. Judging by the facebook algorithm, which is utterly terrible at showing important stuff, it seems unlikely. Just another step i

Unfortunately the new CEO of CSIRO is a VC, not a scientist. Fits perfectly with the "innovation" hype the Turnbull government is selling. Short termism wins again.

That doesn't mean developing secure asynchronous messaging apps for smart device platforms is a bad idea (although adopting PGP over libaxolotl seems a tad foolish these days), it only means people should understand their threat model.

Definitely a concept I have been considering and am interested in! But it's not open source! Site claims source will be available for review after beta but that is obviously futile, the devs could make an implementation mistake the ver

Check out Freenet ( https://freenetproject.org/ ), it is the perfect platform for implementing static content social media like this. There is already a decent microblogging plugin called Sone which works out of the box and h

"Finally, GM is not at all designed to cope with partial network partitions: if A is partitioned from B, then B can remove it from Mnesia, and that information can leak back to A via C. We currently don't handle this situation wel

Alpine is so cool. grsec, musl libc, openRC. If you are sad about the direction most distros are headed, Alpine represents a good stab at "the way things should be".

The CVE states: "Hello, this is CVE-2015-1328 which allows a local root privilege escalation in the default configuration on all currently supported versions of Ubuntu." But when I look in the /boot of a randomly picked Ubunt

Yeah. Signed by just about everyone, except for Israel, India and Pakistan. Funny that this is never mentioned, Iran is an NPT signatory, Israel and India are not. Yet...

If the ISP is compromised by the cartels as you say, then this would just leave her open to correlation attacks (e.g. "who was using Tor at time X in city Y?"). Opsec is not a simple matter, as the death of this woman shows and pe

I understand what you are saying, and as you said that is what we see today. The point I'm trying to make is that the utility of the system is driven by the centralised components. Without those centralised components, the so called de

Isn't this article just surface level technohype? 1. Mesh Networks: FireChat isn't a mesh network. There is a long thread on /r/Futurology about it, with lots of good posts describing what it is and the problems with imp
