Not really trivial to detect steganography. There is whole body of work that focus on statistically undetectable data hiding [1]. Much of it is in confines of research labs, but it is still feasible. [1] http://scholar.google.com/scholar?h

The best way, if you really want to hide data, is steganography. Embed the information into innocent looking pictures and video. The trick, of course, would be to either download decoding software or upload somewhere when you want access

I came here to say exactly this. I can take Jason Kincaid's word for it and sign up, or Bushido can actually tell me something, anything, about what it is. Jason's article does indicate they could be on to something interesting, though.

We find that in regards to performance, C++ wins out by a large margin. However, it also required the most extensive tuning efforts, many of which were done at a level of sophistication that would not be available to the average programmer

I agree that colleges are really expensive and they are getting more expensive by day. This still does not take away the fact that college education and, in larger context, the existence of (high-reputation) Universities, is vital to societ

Free labor in exchange for education, contacts and a resume builder. The idea sounds noble, in that, if such mentorship program is used in the right spirit, it could have a very positive impact on the youth's education and professional de

Steganography hides the existence of covert communication. The message is hidden in an innocuous looking host (say a picture or video that noone would get suspicious about). So in that sense, the existence of actual communication is not kno

It might seem so, but I would give the benefit of doubt to the poster. A very good friend of mine had a similar experience -- his mac was stolen from his car and he had installed Prey Project ( http://preyproject.com/ ) on it -- an open so

Well, in my opinion this is only partly true. Conversely, a good idea also determines how good a team is.

I find it amusing that Google, that started out (and still is) as a search engine, now has so much power as to influence the content in the web via the almost-necessary SEO gimmicks. May be, just may be, it's time to go to user-generated

It seems like both the ideas could be true. The apparent contradiction is clearly due to the fact that the two are optimizing different aspects. One intelligence, and second, getting things done. The conflation of the two leads to the state

This is entertaining read, but there is some irony there. Should add one more law. "A stupid person almost always is not aware of his/her stupidity, and often thinks others are stupid."

Below are my ideas. Not a legal advice. Is this a good approach? Depends. Also is this legal? Probably not. To totally legally work for the LLC you need to apply for and get another H1B. Of course, it is not illegal if you get another H

As someone who has developed exclusively on Android, this article seems like an interesting read, especially because it is written by someone who has programmed in iOS before moving to Android ("porting" iPhone app to Android). I wonder if

There is a bubble of tech bubble articles. No? Edit: What I mean here is that we seem to like to read about "the new tech bubble". It still is largely a speculation, no matter what arguments are presented. The present time may , just may b

Has anyone else read 4 hour workweek where Tim Ferris suggests checking email only once or twice a day at fixed times? Sounds like an idea to me. Avoid distractions but still stay on top of things. This is similar to Donald Knuth's routine

I still wonder, at what point, would other variables come into play, and what those variables might be? Let's say you get a couple more partners, then would you take 100 companies? The point is similar to this one: we often have long wait t
