Off topic of the main thread, but isn't the attack mentioned in that post still problematic if you can't reliably act as a MITM for a whole session, but you can disrupt the session long enough to confuse both sides into agreeing on an insec

My recollection of Encarta was that it didn't have nearly enough information to satisfy my curiosity. If I wanted to get an explanation that was actually satisfying, I needed to turn to my grandparents' ancient Britannica. I suppose I'm p

Has anyone found any more recent work on this? It kind of looks like the project is dead.

I took his (Dewar's) programming languages class in the master's program at NYU, and he certainly knows other languages well. He does have an Ada bias, but he had quite an uphill battle getting the master's students to write simple Ada p

I'm assuming that early bidding isn't what's working for the less desirable women. It's a self evaluation that they can't compete directly, so they don't. Instead, they concentrate their resources on one mostly-desirable man. Bidding ear

That doesn't follow - presumably the desirable men are also getting what they want, less desirable but more devoted women. After all, the idea of the linked article is that a woman who does marry a desirable man would be likely to get a le

I'd agree in cases where the 'Great Powers' are really staying out of the dispute. Often enough though, they do intercede, and want to ignore important information when doing so. Imagine if the principal suspends both the bully and the bu

Sorry, I wasn't responding directly to your specific suggestion. I agree that a tax stimulus to small companies is at least somewhat more likely to be useful than a stimulus to large companies. A general tax cut, the kind that's more li

I feel like the anti-tax advocates tend to compare apples and oranges. "Let's look at the real world with politicians, vs. an idealized world that is tax-free," and lo! the idealized tax-free world is better. In real life, cutting taxes m

There are clearly cases where the government can spend money better than the self-interested individual, namely on public goods. If the stimulus package were restricted to say, building useful infrastructure, energy research, and basic m

Many of the comments seem to assume that websites are entitled to know what I searched for. I think that it would be a great step to give millions of people a little more privacy, even if it's just an accidental side effect of a change to

We can't solve hubris, but perhaps we can highlight it to investors. Funds that too hard to value or are highly leveraged should switch from regulation by the SEC to regulation by state gambling commissions. It would be tricky to find the

Just thought of another benefit - if the referenced resource is cached, the browser can save an extra HTTP request that it would have sent to check if the referenced data has been modified. Now it knows, given the hash, that it must be unc

I agree. But extending HTML to use a hash for verification has additional benefits. One - proxies can see plain HTTP, but they can't cache HTTPS (I think). Two - you can share the same images for the HTTP and HTTPS pages on your site. A

This is exactly the issue. Once some content on the page is not SSL, you can't trust what you're seeing. Of course, it's easy to fix with an extension to HTML, something like hrefhash="DSKJsdfjsdfs234" so the browser can verify that the re

I had a roommate from upstate New York with a very similar accent. I think it started as an affectation, and eventually turned into his normal speech pattern.
