Yes. I know it works. Why would these companies spend so much money if it was not. And in addition they have good metrics to know which campaigns work. But this flies in the face of my personal experience... Aside from YouTube, I can’t reme

I find it amazing that people even notice. I don’t have an ad blocker on all my browsers, and except for YouTube and interstitial ads that Chrome will soon block, most ads are simply not registered by my brain.

The meltdown paper explains the same side channel race condition vulnerability exists on ARM and AMD CPUs. Their toy project shows all three architectures have the same flaw. However for unknown reasons it’s worse in Intel. They were not

I have always used an alphanumeric password instead of a PIN. Since Touch ID my password is really long and complicated. I can’t remember it. I have a matrix of hex numbers in the phone case to be used as memento to help recreate the passwo

“Avoid multiple passes over the data when one would do.” Totally disagree. Unless performance is an issue (like I’m not dealing with a trivial number of elements), I would rather use functional programming approaches to sort data into shape

Thanks for the links. It's kind of bad that the "status" page itself is down...

Apostasy and consuming any kind of drugs is also punishable by death. Drinking alcohol and having sex outside marriage are severely reprimanded. And you also have all the vexations of "normal" regular life. Women were not allowed

It's hard to imagine worse, except maybe putting the passwords in the clear... Single unsalted broken MD5 is a far cry from scrypt... and even scrypt is probably a bad idea with all this crypto currency hashing hardware out there, unle

It really depends on the details of what the file system does. It is true that older file systems did not encrypt metadata but that's not the case for newer ones like ZFS or APFS. The way I understand the scarce documentation about APF

Full disk encryption only really offers security for the following 2 scenarios: - My computer/phone was lost and it was powered off. If my password is good and secure, then I can be assured the data contained on the disk will not fall

It's state of the art block level encryption, however file system level encryption such as what will be offered by the upcoming APFS is fundamentally better. In a block level encryption each sector is encrypted below the file system. D

A democracy is not just a system of governance. The fact that a law was voted by congress means it is a republic, or a parliamentary monarchy. To be considered a democracy a country needs to provide its citizens more than the ability to ele

In a true democracy this would be a pointless feature.

My experience is that it's possible for people to understand each other. But the farther you go and the more difficult it gets. It's mostly the accent and the word endings that change. My family is from Aveyron/Tarn (near Alb

I heard you can have password hundreds of characters long for Facebook... it'd be nice to have some long random gibberish impossible to type or maybe the full text of the 4th amendment to remind these people that what they do is agains

Write your key into 2 pieces of paper. Mark one as part 1 out of 2, the other as part 2 of 2. Make you write something like "please note that if I am not served with the appropriate RIPA key disclosure when this equipment is seized I w

Most people probably don't have the skills to answer that question. Heck. Without going online I can't even remember my Facebook ID.

I don't see any mention of data integrity... Unless you use multi-key encryption. I find that a bit odd.

Under RIPA if you can prove that you no longer posses the decryption key, you don't have to go to jail. That's not as easy as it sounds, since being a possession of the key "previously" makes the law assumes you still po

In general, this kind of details would not be part of the "law" but would be published in a "decree" cooked up by the executive branch when they decide to "apply" the law. In this case, it's going to be ke

Encryption won't solve the problem. 1/ They're after the meta data. Whether you have plaintext or encrypted communication, they still know to whom you talk. Unless you use TOR or VPN yourself out of the country, it's not
