It seems from what I've read that this event goes to `chain of custody`, and by nicicacity invalidates ALL digital evidence for EVERY case handled by this police office unless provenance can be reliably established beyond all doubt,

I understand your position, and I don't want to be offensive. I simply want to be clear. The X-Prize is intended precisely for this type of industry stagnation, and has been very successful at that goal so far. Winners solve unbelieva

Indeed I did, still no software implication. I was being fairly deliberate about that. What I'm confused about is what the argument is. Is it we shouldn't try to find a solution? I'm sorry if I was unclear that I did not int

I think there are plenty of people, myself included, who understand how DDoS attacks work. Do you know how X-Prizes work? Hit: Did I say anything about software? [edit: It's odd to me that this would get down voted. Is it offensive?

To be clear these are attack vector prevalence relative to each other, and represent 'known' attack traffic identified by Akamai, not general traffic in these protocols. However, this is no doubt not a complete list of DDoS vector

The owner of the application stack is not always (rarely?) the owner of the host os / vm. While your container may remain vulnerable it's the application owners responsibility (and capability) to update the application stack. In

I'm a big CoreOS fan and use it almost exclusively now (outside of OS X). I love to see it show up on HN. However: May 23, >>2014<< This is universes old news.

Anyone have a sense of how this compares with QML? QML is declarative (comparable?), and is cross platform which seems better out of hand.

Yes, but it means the relative percentages are not meaningful. Even if your where to simply normalize them to total 100%. Likely the servey was, "list 3 or more reasons why your startup failed," and then the top three where used i

This list adds up to 300% This has been a test. Based on our research, we've found that startup founders who fail to notice that this list adds up to 300% have startups that will also fail. Your user ids have been added to the investme

Do not write a spell checker like this! I will hunt you down and beat you with a dictionary. I find spell checking in almost every application that I've tried to be spectacularly bad for anything other than trivial typos. Google is q

You may not be aware that data versioning is a built in feature of S3[1]. No VMs, no management, just put all stuff in one place and it's versioned automatically. As others have pointed out Git is not a great way to do big data versio

Fun idea. I love it when people think outside of the electronics... and anything that helps keep polaroid film around gets my vote.

Wow, this is very interesting. I find this an amazing comment. I'm curious what the bias for white backgrounds is (or at least not 'dark' backgrounds). It's very common in web design, yet relatively neutral for applicat

There are any number of uptime, and ping services that you can google for. This can raise the alarm in a timely fashion when your site, or parts of your site go down, and then you decide how to handle those issues. You may also want to goog

Major outages should absolutely weigh into your decisions as to what platform to use. That being said you can mitigate the effect of instability by engineering your app to failover to other availability zones or even to another cloud platf

This is precisely the problem with centralized security authorities. As we've seen a state actor can easily force a central authority to share it's private key, thereby granting the state actor the ability to untraceably create i

In terms of credibility and association you might want to see the Senate of Canada hearing on bitcoin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUNGFZDO8mM The US Internal Revenue Service has published guidance on the treatment of b

It is not theoretical that bitcoin holds value, that is a fact. That it shouldn't, or won't at some point in the future is the theory. Reality does not yield to arguments of the contrary.

I think the point npsimons was trying to make is there is selection bias in that statement, so it really says nothing about how many happy introverts there are. I'm an introvert, for example, and generally very happy (but that's a

As I've said elsewhere I disagree with this position. And at the risk of beating a dead horse the text specifically says in various ways, and in various places the general concept that a service provider shall not be liable only if a

I did not take a position one way or the other on incorrect takedown notices. I said it is my opinion that we as a technical community should try to help the court. Wether we have before, or wether it was successful or not, doesn't en

Haha, well damn, isn't this just the problem with law. You try to speak figuratively to communicate the gist of an idea abstractly (given the forum), and then someone comes along to explain how your figurative speech isn't litera

Yeah this doesn't seem to be done very often. I'm trying to encourage the behavior though because I often see that courts are easily confused by technical issues that are well understood by the community. This may or may not be su

Well you and I disagree on the risks involved. And to what degree any organization can contractually exempt themselves from law. If they could they could also simply have a service agreement that says if you use the site you can't su

I understand this argument, but it's a mistake. It's an incredibly dangerous position for an ISP to take and for what benefit? Why risk stepping outside the DMCA's protection? Here's why it's dangerous for the ISP
