I was under the impression that the FBI (or SS or DHS or whoever) showed up at Noisebridge on a regular enough basis that there's a section on their wiki for "if you're the door-answerer, and it's the Feds again, here&#x

Heh, some friends and I joked about doing this a few years ago when one of us got a nice CNC machine. :) I don't think that you should worry about the NSA getting your door key from the cloud; anyone who'd be able to use that acce

Very true :) But with a little statistical analysis, that's true of basically all communication. An organization with the NSA's resources can automatically infer a set of people I probably talk to even if they can't directly

Oh, the protocols are already in place; consider RFC2017. Sending a link to something (even wrapped in a nice ui and container) has pretty different semantics from actually sending the something, though.

C has a sort of declaration-by-example syntax. You're declaring that *someVar has type NSString. (IMHO, thinking of it this way also makes more complex declarations like function-pointer types, types with qualifiers, etc., easier to re

I'm under the impression that pick-up-and-drop-off laundry has been a common business in larger cities for the last, oh, century or more? Is this just a "...yeah, but this time it's on the Internet!" business model?

It can be pretty enlightening to read the few postmortems of big hacks that do get published. Another seemingly common scenario (aside from a direct attack on the server) is to spear-phish someone else inside the company, not necessarily an

This article seems under-informed. The scenario which privacy and security wonks usually consider to be the explanation for various government assertions that they can track phones while they're off is that the target's phone rece

That NYT article you linked to came to mind when I was reading this link as well, especially this quote from the Pakistani administration: "In the media, they said it was all children. They were absolutely wrong. There may have been so

It's not an especially extraordinary claim. There are multiple ways to formulate a lot of supplements (e.g. α-tocopherol vs. γ-tocopherol, or any of the zillion ways to put a mineral like calcium or iron into edible form). Some of thes

This is kind of like asking why there's more than one model of car on the road. Other than wanting to carry more people or go faster, what differences are there? Any automaker could just produce three vehicles: a sports coupe, a panel

Thermal noise of various kinds, usually. (Edit: that is, the noise introduced in a circuit by the fact that it's not at absolute zero, e.g. Johnson noise. Not just gathering entropy from a temperature sensor reading or something like t

It's old-school of me, but I still rather like trn. I might prefer nn if I hadn't already learned trn.

Is there a good cite for the 100-mile border search zone being "found wanting"? A court case or something? I'd like to be able to link that in discussions, if it's true.

I'm pretty sure any professional paranoid would have been thinking I was dodgy for decades now, for things like using the internet (back when that was suspicious) or encrypting my logins with ssh (back when that was suspicious) or my w

A few people do... My neighborhood has a pretty good culture of leaving free stuff on the curb for a day or so. There's enough for traffic that stuff gets picked up pretty quickly if anyone actually wants it. I'm always surprised

If the adversary can watch the traffic at the entry node and any one of {the exit node, the websites you're visiting, a compromised router in between}, then they can de-anonymize your traffic pretty easily using statistical techniques.

It's basic extrapolating-without-data is what it is. You have a theory, well, let's call it a hypothesis ("a person who reaches CEO level is someone who will not behave altruistically"). You even have a simple model wh
