Wow, ~700 TB/mo? That does sound like a lot. What kind of site would serve that volume of traffic and not have 56k for operating expenses? I mean, I can think of a few examples like Wikipedia maybe, since they are non-commercial and su

This. How is it that Avast is still a "startup" when it was founded in 1988? I mean.. they were founded even before the dot com bubble! Edit: I know there's always a problem when trying to define what is and isn't a star

Thanks a lot for the info. I've heard about asset forfeiture before, but I had no idea it worked that way. Seems a bit insane that you can charge objects with crimes.

That would be a useful extension/plugin for browsers actually. Maybe like pointed out in another reply, not for checksums but for signatures. So you just copy/paste the signature after selecting a file, and then it can verify it&#

But I think the point was that Uber also has a lot of money for lawyers so they could at least fight it and cause some stirr, media attention, etc, and then that in turn could damage Apple.

It might be interesting to use the word frequency of the target language as some sort of weight for each word, or maybe as a multiplier for the number of times that word will get pushed to the back of the queue, i.e. the words with the most

Interesting approach. Especially if you were to feed the training set with most-used password lists from leaked databases or similar. Do you have any performance metrics against bruteforce for example?
796.
by saganus 11y ago
Do you have a specific use case in mind for this? I ask because apparently there would be a practical limit on the size of the DB. So considering that you would probably need to restrict the DB use to something specific, what would that be?

Nice find. Thanks!

This looks very interesting. I guess that this would be the next-best thing after FHE?. The catch is the performance, right? I mean, the paper says: "In order to make the database end-to-end encrypted yet still capable of performing qu

I think it would be more likely to do the transfer in a more phased way. For example, if they start to need more low-wage positions you start hiring directly in Arizona, and when someone leaves the SF office you just don't hire someone

I could definitely use one. Thanks in any case!

Yeah, I agree. But still... I mean, if I'm going to steal a diamond, I would make sure it's the real deal, instead of some Snatch's moissanite...

Maybe, but there's also the cost of time, of actually finding that lawyer, convincing him of this, etc. One of the things money seems to buy, which makes wealthy people/entities able to tackle problems that must of us realisticall

Wow. I can't believe this passes as a newspaper. Where are the editors? Can't they even screen the things they steal at least?

I think the problem with this, like with most routes that involve a lawyer, is that this isn't about being enforceable or not, but whether you can actually pay in time and money to try to enforce it. That's why typically only comp

Do you have any references for this? This discussion is very interesting and I would like to read up a bit more on your argument and why is this so. I know that distributed systems are hard, but this is a problem that I find interesting to
