I agree that fail2ban for ssh seems unnecessary. But, it also provides monitoring for other services like http and common exploits. I'd be interested in learning from the community if fail2ban adds much value. As I've looked into

Which begs the question how much do we spend now on programs for the poor? I'm surprised that the journalist didn't try to answer the question, as that would have provided the context to know if a minincome program is a small stre

Consider another approach and email users using unsupported browsers. It gives you an excuse to reach out where you can turn the conversation into what their needs are, pain points, etc. However, if your app doesn't require signup to u

This may prove to be an easy way to benchmark native code performance against the JVM. I wonder if longer term it could be used as a way to compile native C into something that could execute in a JVM. Giving the JVM access to the wealth of

Is this a bluetooth problem or shitty product problem? Eg. my car has no problem being the 'headphone' for several different devices.

Quoting the eff: stronger privacy laws are outlawed if they amount to an “arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade.” it would seem that google's opinion is that protecting my health data is a restri

To offer an alternative viewpoint. In Canada we have laws that protect personal health data. For instance my doctor cannot save my patient data outside of the country. This is a major pain for SAAS vendors, and I understand google's po

I agree, but feel the root cause is actually easy access to credit. Credit has been driving the economy for the last few decades. If we didn't have easy access to credit that may have forced wages to stay tied to productivity increases

The point remains, there isn't much benefit to using a different key per host. What attack vector is this extra effort protecting you from?

I love new ways to express data. But, as I see animations like this I become a little anxious as I'd like to absorb the information, but if I look too closely in one area then I risk missing a bigger pattern or trend. After watching, I

This is the first that I've heard of ChaCha for encryption ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salsa20#ChaCha_variant ). Apparently it's a standard that Google is pushing to replace RC4 and already is using for HTT

I recommend that you take a flight to LAX/MCO, then a day at Disney and compare TSA's procedures for getting folks through a line compared to Disney. The single best action that the TSA could take is to hire a Disney staffer to co

To offer a different perspective, we also had the cold war during this period. This was an era where the US was successfully outspending USSR militarily. I would argue, as others have, that if we hadn't dedicated significant resources

As your neighbour to the north you make it sound like the Republican party has fractured into two groups. Those that are conservative (the Buckley Republicans in your example), and those ignorant masses that respond to jingoist and politico

Then contrast our potential inability to keep private thoughts with the fact that the government is allowed theirs by merely stamping Top Secret across a document.

I think the reason we don't have private insurance is the worst case risk is too significant for a single enterprise to absorb. Which is why the state is involved. Your point remains valid, I just wish our governments were better at av

Yes. I agree. However, when industry gives 0 shits for external costs because they can 'get away with it' then I can see taking a hardline approach. E.g. Bernie is essentially saying: "Hey you guys screwed up, you polluted th

It is happening in the US and in plain sight--yet its citizens don't seem to care. Eg. Gerrymandering, drastically reducing voting stations (see AZ), goofy voter registration law changes. These issues don't occur in other mature d

> building a business model around the availability of a third party is a recipe for failure. Rather, I think it's that a business model that is not complimentary to the third party is the problem. E.g. Amazon doesn't want hist

That's brilliant! I wonder what the effort would be to take an existing turing test bot and apply it to my spam folder. Of course once this technique is used the spammers will be forced to deploy their own AIs to deal with the increase

Or crowd source it by having commuters register potholes.. That also gives you a sense of priority based on number of calls for a given area. Militarizing cities for potholes is just plain wrong. That's something you'd expect to h

Wild guess on my part. The wave is traveling through the earth, while the distance you measured is around the circumference and therefore larger. Too bad, you had me excited for a moment at the thought of faster than light travel.

Reminds me of Brave New World, where the general population lives in a shallow lifestyle void of any meaning. Seem like a pattern, predicting that future, is emerging. E.g. My parent's teenage hobby was musical instruments. Mine was pl
