Since the global passive adversary is now a reality (NSA) it seems like Tor is broken by design.

Claims are irrelevant, data breaches happen all the time. If you are concerned about the confidentiality of a file then use encryption or don't upload it to the internet.

Sure, a few drivers would be replaced. However, the last-mile driver is also taking care of the doorstep delivery. I agree that the last-mile driver will stick around for a bit longer, but their number is relatively small. For example: UP

What is the false sense of security created by sudo? You don't have to have a password on your account to use it. You seem to think sudo adds security even when you don't use a sudo password. That's precisely the false sens

For accountability the openssh server already logs the key fingerprint. The main security implications of sudo are a false sense of security and the risks related to having a password on your account and typing it in all the time (how often

If you're willing to spend $5/mo then DigitalOcean is a safe bet with excellent reliability. If you're a new customer then google for a Coupon before you sign up (saves you $20). Don't try to go even cheaper, that way li

why would these robots be willing to work for free? For the foreseeable future robots will be machines and have no will. Robots don't need to be nearly as intelligent as humans in order to replace us in many areas. Nearly 100% roboti

For me the real question would be, why was/is anyone still using sourceforge? Inertia? I hope everybody still hosting there will take this reminder to finally move their stuff to a different host.

without the actual numbers. Profit margins in the pharmaceutical industry are the highest[1] of all industries, only rivaled by the banking sector. The top 3 pharma companies spend twice as much money on marketing as on R&D. [1] http

Could you give a brief explanation (in layman's terms) of why they are so difficult/expensive to make? Wikipedia[1] is full of jargon, but one caption says "Monoclonal antibodies can be grown in unlimited quantities in the bo

Rapid-fire editing with text objects [...] ought to work pretty well on screen. I wish they'd just do away with the rapid-fire crap altogether. It breaks the immersion. A mildly witty easter egg does not compensate for making every n

That's a funny easter egg. Sadly I distinctly remember the scene of him "typing" that in as one of the weakest in this otherwise great movie. The awful "hollywood rapid-fire typing"[1] stood out like a sore thumb. [

We don't do it because of the time constraints. Lets say it takes 30 seconds to do one individual drive. But in your article you claim that the unlabeled Toshiba drives lengthen the maintenance time by "a few minutes" every

I'm a bit worried about that "throwing start". What happens when the battery is low or when I give it a tad too much spin? "Whoops, did I just lob my $500 gadget into solid concrete?" Well, I suppose it probably has

The groping and stuff is of course unacceptable. But I don't understand what they need an investor for if there is 60% MoM growth from $25k/mo? Why give a large chunk of the company away when you're on track to push $1M&#x2F

200ms latency Anyone know how spotify may have achieved this? There is no magic in this. 200ms is an eternity and would actually be considered rather poor performance. Realistic latency is closer to 100ms for a cache miss (~40ms for you

Since fingerprint scanners are very easily fooled I hope an additional pin-code is required to transfer non-trivial amounts.

This is very well executed, kudos! At the same time it puts the browser makers to shame. If it's so relatively easy to make large tables fast with a small javascript hack then why isn't this optimization baked into browsers alread

OpsView is mainly open source, though they have a commercial edition with extra features It's only free for up to 25 hosts. Then it costs at least $65/mo (for up to 250 hosts) plus the fees for extra features.

Agree, very much. I'm also wary of handling websockets from Ruby, which is demonstrably ill suited for any kind of high concurrency networking (been there, got the t-shirt). Since most people already run nginx in their stack anyway I d
