Well that didn't make a whole lot of sense. The most methodical use of the methods of rationality you'll find are the natural sciences and they are incredibly open to anyone interested. Its just that most people are not actually i

Your initial assumption was correct, it is widely deployed in the industry, there are multiple vendors that provide fingerprinting technology that is orders of magnitude more advanced then what the article suggests. The visible fingerprint

Doesn't the process of compression (to make it seem louder) destroy some of the information? I always assumed this was a irreversible process?

They could atleast work together with the internet archive to conserve it, but no of course not that would require be a bit of an effort, google can't do that, because google doesn't care if thousands of open source projects are g

I always thought its kind of funny that everyone believed this to be true when in reality you could just deactivate the sound in the driver settings. Which I did pretty much immediately, but nobody I knew ever even thought of. Its a perfect

You upload your files to dropbox servers, how in the world can you come to the delusion that you would notice when they accessed/searched/data mined your files?!

It should be mentioned that this does not support and will indeed never support line numbers due to some strange opinions of the lead developer: http://highlightjs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/line-numbers.ht...

I think we are talking about CGI faces here and thats just not doable yet and this research won't change a thing about it. The last movie I remember having a CG face was Clu in Tron Legacy which certainly was state of the art CG, unfor

Shouldn't you always be able to triangulate, that hardly sounds like a difficult problem in 2014.

Lavabit closed down because they would otherwise be required by law to compromise their entire customers security. Also as it is part of a NSL that no one is allowed to talk about it by fear of a prison sentence, it is very reasonable to as

I think its a moot point, if the government is the attacker, who tries to spy on you specifically, there is absolutely NOTHING you can do to prevent that from happening. The US government has (literally) secret laws, that grants themselves

It would be good to know if they got a structural engineer look it over. Because it really doesn't look like a stable structure at all .

I think its always amusing when people say that <latest DRM tech> is unbreakable. When in fact there never was and never will be such a thing.

by rlx0x 12y ago
I guess thats pseudo DRM. On the other end you have things like RTMPe, a proprietary highly complex binary protocol that is only implemented in the adobe flash plugin binary blob. Or something like HDCP (the copy protection part of HDMI) th

It pains me if I see someone describing the slow and gradual installment of the total surveillance world and the loss of any privacy as just something "that feels strange and uncomfortable at first". I for one will never be okay

This is all so ridiculous, rtmp for instance is as secure a DRM as its ever gonna get and that never stopped me from downloading a stream. Even things like HDMI/HDCP is broken beyond repair. And all of this should justify damaging the

The NSA is one of the most powerful organizations on this planet, and the only people that could actually be kind of a threat to them, are members of congress. So in other words: the only people on this planet, who have the ability to do so

Agree 100% I would add the awful standard library (including its abysmal documentation). For instance the HTTP client API, it must be the most awful API I've ever seen, and Urllib2 is no improvement at all.
