Only for cryptography. People often mistake the 'security through obscurity' slogan has good for every system.

Just curious, do you still keep your eyes on the road with adaptive cruise control? Or do you tend to do other things?

What could be tremendous about that statistic? It seems like you are trying to contrast a small number with a big number to give a sense of some false magnitude. I could say people only murder other people once in every 100 billion seconds

DJB had some great comments on what he thought makes qmail secure: http://cr.yp.to/qmail/qmailsec-20071101.pdf Perhaps the most legit complaint of DJB's work is that he would often lobotomize chunks of a protocol

I am holding out hope that this isn't the case because Angular is/was really brillant. But yes, it looks like version 2 got out of control.

Yup huge technology overlap in offloading but I don't think Google really needs Republic's help there. But your right both are focused on making offloading as reliable and seamless as possible. Personally I think an independent R

Google is more interested in solving the bandwidth cap problem. They want to deploy high speed municipal wifi to solve this. Unlike Republic, they are not looking to cut your monthly bill - Google wants people to consume more data, not les

Yeah I thought about that too. Would be very useful in remote areas. Probably won't work with the current batch of cars however. With that said, telsa promised 3g free with the model s for another 4 years. Maybe timing with the sate

Spectrum that can penetrate walls/homes is very scarce so that won't happen. It appears these sats will be for lasercom and home internet (requiring a dish/antenna).

Anyone else frustrated that you can't have a conversation about this without the vast majority of threads taking on a conspiratorial tone? I suppose it's human nature for something with such power players as Sony/FBI/NK

The link you sent says Vance does prosecute 'motor crime' (DUIs, fleeing the scene,etc..) Also you forgot to add that it is inherently difficult to prosecute because a jury doesn't see negligent drivers as criminals. You

Sounds awesome, but if it is as gizmodo describes it feels like one of Google's moon shots. We are just barely starting to see good VR... combining a real and virtual world together is another order of magnitude of difficulty. I'

Have not seen the museum. So long as they are crediting the engineers from the DARPA contests then the story is not revisionist. Everything since DARPA has been fairly incremental with contributions from a wide variety of people (includin

Seems like the journalist is trying a little to hard to create a controversy. 510 was never 'unknown' and they always had a close relationship with Google. Consider the story in '08 - http://www.cnet.com/ne

reading a chart quickly turns into reading tea leaves and other forms of divination that people are so prone to. There is just no science there. it's better to know our brains are poorly wired for understanding the risk of trading.

Trading with emotions is definitely bad (and all too human) --- but it's best not to trade at all. Technical trading in particular is highly irrational if you know what your up against.

Walmart pays over 2%. Probably a hidden variable in the .5% number.

totally agree. Perl was super innovative in it's day. It's really hard for a language to evolve after it becomes established.

I don't think this is onstar. It's a third party device attached to the ignition. Ignition interlocks have been around for a long time -- though not tied to gps device as they are now.

Highly doubtful the car just shut down (unless she perhaps stalled the car). Article mentions the device is tied to the ignition.

Portfolio theory does not work here. Totally different concepts. MPT is about minimizing risk - not trumping the performance of a stock.

That was a confusing sentence by the author, but I think he was referring to the metaphysical quality of the universe - e.g. perceiving the universe as being made by a creator (or not)

No idea if real or not. but this person would be pretty easy for google to uncover if he/she didn't mask his grammar. Wrote a huge corpus with fairly unique use of commas amongst other things.

Yes, find a business broker. Even if you are not ready to sell they can help put the company in a better position to sell in a year or so. If you can't find a broker, do some basic PR about the company... they will find you. Broker o

Speaking generally, it one big factor is mitigating risk. Doing so does two nice things: (1) Allows you to go after really big ideas, using your own money makes you more conservative and (2) prevents personal disaster.

I don't have an off switch either. Working all day is stimulating and stress free for me. Despite all the 'chill the hell out' articles I find it sustainable and I don't really get tired. The only real thing that works

Dump all the references to your age on your resume. Starting your resume with a first sentence as 'SW developer from the 1970s' ensures regular deletion. You seem a little oblivious that you live in a world that discriminates

How were you contacted? Is this through a personal connection or is he fishing? I'd suggest to ask for references. Follow through references and ask about how he/she helped them. I'd also make it clear up front that you ha

Find their biggest objection and their primary decision maker. You mentioned in a acomment security is a concern for them. Argue that using amazon is far more secure than their system (which is likely true). See aws compliance here: ht
