This guy over here [1] claims the video tracked his last foursquare check-in. I'm guessing the location algorithm tries to find a best guess of where you might be — hence the inconsistent results. [1] http://www.jenders.com/2011/10/18/take

Some of these hostnames are quite arcane to me (peace.facebook.com); did you get them from a list somewhere or did you identify each one of them yourself?

I wouldn't know about pizza orientation, but here in Brazil, (some) folk from São Paulo can be recognized for pouring a little olive oil on their pizza, whereas (some) Rio de Janeiro folk can be recognized for seasoning their pizza with ket

It's food for thought, isn't it? That the Panopticon [1] has become cheaper and more pervasive over time. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon

You might be interested in this interview which came out just yesterday [1] about techniques for detecting people by the way they walk (apparently, throughpressure point patterns in a digital footprint) with (IIRC) 99.6% precision. Regional

The question is, is the disclosure of this (technically public) resource location litigation material? IANAL, but I can definitely see both sides of this debate being highly defensible.

Funny thing is: he didn't even try that, because he didn't accept under any circumstances to communicate by phone, fax or snail mail. He made this big, boldface disclaimer with twitter screenshots and all trying to claim "best effort is goo

Holy cow, I did the exact same thing as you! For the sake of completeness, my first steps before sorting and plotting were to: 1. take the mean, median and mode of each set, 2. try and fail to use more sophisticated statistical analys

Stop me if for some technical reason what I'm asking here is increadibly stupid... but isn't it relatively cheap to substitute HTTP-based URL redirection for DNS in a case like this? Like so: http://hops.me/7nq -> 127.0.0.1

I'm not sure I get your point, so I may be arguing against something else entirely here. That said, the point of parallel offerings is not to provide identical representations of a given resource. Even XML+XSLT versus XHTML might have diffe

I. This is a case where Stallman pushes the notion that software freedom === individual freedom . This notion, while defensible, is not necessarily true, and so the assessment that Android phones can't be said to respect my fre

I didn't upvote, but the 4 sed programs he offered definitely spiked my interest. (My criterion for an upvote here would be if he had himself written and/or explained those programs in his post.) All in all, can't complain about having foun

Due to its language, I'm not sure the WTFPL would hold in court in just about any country. I don't mean just the profanity: it has no proper scope (i.e. it doesn't describe what's being licensed), it doesn't attach it to a proper author or

I got a little past that, up to a perpetual "Signing in" progress ticker. (After refreshing, I could verify that I was not logged in, but I'm not sure if the demo was supposed to go as far as managing session cookies anyway.)

Ah, thanks for the analysis. You're absolutely right about its use for password generation & management. I suppose the scheme might still have other uses where the proverbial "off the grid" aspect indeed strengthens security? Are those

In the Security Now podcast [1], Gibson asserted that every position in these 25x25 grids has so much entropy that even a hell of a lot of passwords wouldn't give away the whole grid. Now, I personally couldn't pull this off, but I'd actual

I can see why you'd put the page for the same restaurant all across the tour—but if you're really going for the "about.me for restaurants" pitch, then you should be selling (and hence showing) a wide variety of designs, to show off your

The twilio thing sounds like a good idea. Given the mechanics, the more means of communication you have, the better you're protected against false positives. I'm still a bit unsure about the part where "you're responsible for asserting that

The beta is for a "new and improved" version. If you remove beta from the address, you can access the current let's-call-it "stable" version. I played around with this a while ago. Didn't think the way it's implemented solves the problem as

That depends on HTTPS not being somehow blocked, impeded or stripped. Is this a good enough assumption? (Honestly curious.)

From the book How to Negotiate Like a Child [1]: once someone has offered something extra, it's hard to take that back. Further: often when confronted by silence, the blabber will say something that she didn't plan on saying.

Well, now you're reducing it to just Christianity. And within the context of Christianity, I don't see why people would jump to the conclusions that they have souls only to get stuck at the problem of "so what do we do with Jesus?" I suppos

It may be relevant precisely because not every living thing on earth is believed to go to heaven. "But these guys don't get to go to heaven" is part of the rationale behind a lot of modern genocides, and before that many cases of slaughte

We seem to be reaching good enough models (arguably some of them will be thoroughly reproducible in laboratories soon enough). But I don't think we'll arrive at a definite answer here. My guess is that we'll come up with multiple ways it co
