   I believe credit card chips are examples of PUFs. CC terminals do a challenge-response through the chip in order to verify it, and the only way to pass the challenges would be with a perfect copy of the embedded chip (which is presumably di

   Aren't you always able to sue? Even if you sign a contract saying that you consent to internal arbitration? You can always sue.

   I've currently taken a very strong interest in biotech but my majors don't really give me much time to study chemistry or biology in any significant way. What is the percent composition of R&D in biotech in terms of CS and bio

   Does this work with numerical fields as well? I only see strings in the examples.

    Somewhat off topic, but does anybody remember when MEGASync (a MEGA desktop sync client) came out and the Linux source code was "on its way?" It's been over a year (maybe 2?) and I've seen nothing. I have no reason to tr

    Can somebody please explain to me the purpose of this change. I read the blog post explaining the decision[0]. The crux of the argument was >many tens of millions of users have non-hosted add-ons that were installed without their informe

    This can't be used for assymetric encryption. The reason you can still see files and filenames on normally encrypted drives is because your OS holds the encryption key AND decryption key in memory (they're actually the same becaus

    Exposing filenames in the clear like that is a significant drawback. I'm not sure how you could get around it, though.

    Pretty interesting! I would love to see ClojureScript support soon

    This doesn't address one of the most polarizing points regarding encryption: backdoors. The bank analogy kind of breaks down in this case, because the federal government always has the power to freeze your assets at any bank in the U.S

    I think this is a very valid point and I've only heard it said once before in an HN discussion about the merits of Powershell. The idea of "do one thing and do it well" requires that things can communicate relatively easily,

    This brings up a really interesting point. If the right mutations happen, we could get a machine that eats other machines and reproduces indefinitely. In other words, X-Rays can give this machine cancer.

    I highly recommend i3. I used it on my desktop back home and I've tried to emulate it using Amethyst[0] on my Macbook but it's not nearly as featureful or stable. [0] http://ianyh.com/amethyst/

    They might mean to say that it's worsened when they're not busy with something. Actively working on a task that one finds rewarding can definitely help with depression.

    I don't think that will ever be possible, barring some sort of quantum memory where reading clobbers data.

    Agreed. If you own the host, you win. The point is to make it difficult to own the host from within the VM, not vice-versa.

    I think Tarsnap is an apt counterexample to your first point. It has a stable API, a very very conservative feature set, and a stable customer base.

    I think Mathematica would be the simplest way to automate all of those things. Wolfram even supports built-in data collection from various sources now.

    Wow, that was somehow one of the hardest-hitting articles I've read in a while. It's like constructing a huge lemma and then using it in a one-liner proof of a completely unrelated theorem.

    Can't you use raw pointers and .offset()? You can put them in a struct that mutates itself for every method call so it keeps track of the mmap. You'd also probably have to make sure that it has exclusive access to the mmap so anot
