It's a proxy to take a look at potential resource reallocation. It seems grotesque when human beings in Silicon Valley are left with no viable option but to live in their cars or under a bridge, while folks tool around in their latest

Argh, that's a frustrating fallacy, often posited with sincere intentions but often disconnected from practical implementation considerations. In general terms, effectiveness and affordability of budget outlay should be the primary con

1% is obviously a simplified, talking-point metaphor; not a literal 1 out of every 100. The sliding cliff, gray-area seems to be an issue regarding the problematic portion is around the top .01% or perhaps smaller still. Another issue is t

DI is awesome. It has sporadic content updates, but has good writing and generally sticks to obscure but important stories.

Has anyone worked out an estimate for when prime factorization of 4096-bit RSA pks will be viable, either by govts or corporations with substantial resources?

LevelDB also made the Bitcoin client super unstable and prone to dataloss. Use sqlite, because it's bullet-resistent and has competent maintainers.

Another reason OS peripheral firewalls and firmware IDS need to exist because right now, IO is a welcoming attack surface.

Experience is evidence. Foot-stomping demands of evidence for things that are obvious from those without experience is tiring. It's like those kids whom start working at cafés as their first job, do everything by the book and are emb

Police have been known to send people whom they have beaten up for mental examination in order to discredit them. This happened in Los Altos to a guy playing Ingress.

SSL CA's are broken in some sense in that it's currently relatively easy to acquire rogue certs because it's a Tragedy of the Commons of the unaddressed issue of a single-source of truth, trust and cert issue authorization fo

Not a huge deal since X11Forwarding is usually disabled by default. It is another reason for best practices of just-enough infrastructure -> smaller attack surface: disable unused features and ship server daemons with sane defaults with

What's the point? DNSCrypt is already encrypted and Tor offers zero privacy but it does offer the FBI helpfully monitoring to de-anonymize Tor clients and servers. Using a VPN and DNSCrypt together would far better. Plus, Tor adds u

A spectacular failure just waiting to happen. For example, RubyGems it's possible to sign them, but it's not used as much as it should be because option security never gets used. Waxseal is a gem to sign other gems. Generally t

NPM is a for profit, so they're a SPoF from lawyers and governments seeking to control others. The other issues is a lack of distributed package/artifact replication which makes it possible to take down an entire ecosystem by unpl
