I agree. But these cloud services are so new, that people are not aware of the risks they are taking. They don't realize the needs they actually have. Since the customers don't know their needs, neither do the service providers. B

A careful reading will tell you that the article you refer to is normative not descriptive.

I am surprised. I thought cognitive traits had high correlation. I did not expect laziness would factor into it so much.

Intelligence and bias resistance are at least both cognitive traits.

Now I feel bad, maybe I should have voiced it in a way that sounded less sure. I base it on two things. 1. Similar genes do similar things in different species. 2. There are an incredible amount of possible proteins.

Very cool idea! I think you should think carefully about the use cases. Is it for someone who wants to take a gene from one organism, move it to another and then order that organism? Is it for people wanting to manually tweak genes to impro

My prediction: We can find a subset of proteins such that they do not interfere with each other, and still large enough that they can perform useful functions. It is possible to write threaded software in a way that everything interacts wit

No it's incorrect. Compare "these truths... that all men are created equal, (...)" with "these kittens... that all kittens are created hungry". The that in the second sentence is wrong.

Why not use lazy rehashing? On login, the password is availible and so can be rehashed properly.

They usually use less than one bit per password.

But if important is hard and unimportant easy, than there might be better reward/work by working on unimportant stuff.

In order for an extension attack, wouldn't the blocks have to align perfectly? Like suppose I hash [abcd][efgh][k] How would you extend that?

I don't now much about Flame, but I would assume that messages are sent using public-key cryptography in such a way that they can't be spoofed. Maybe a replay attack would be possible though.

In the best of worlds, developers could make an effort not to do anything shady, like self modifying code, dll-injection etc, making heuristics complaining about such behaviours viable.

How does it compare to using earplugs in a silent room?

Maybe I misunderstood how the xml/xslt-paradigm works, but my idea was that you have a serverside api serving up raw data, and the display is controlled by some code on the clientside that can be easily customised. So the server could serve

I know for a fact that the average bad guy does this. Google "fud crypter", they are programs that take malware and makes it Fully UnDetectable by encrypting it, similar to how upx does it. Even skiddies use them.

>And you can't have perfect heuristics 1. All my computers have finite memory 2. You could in theory make heuristics with false positives but without false negatives.

No, everyone did not know. Many had strong suspicions.

The former has a large political impact. How many dissidents a year do you think you need to kill to suppress any opposition?

I seem to recall some people paying people for sterilization. That would seem to solve the problem. NOTE: The only eugenics I am for are those based on voluntary gene replacement.

Cryptographic hashes should be as fast as possible while not sacrificing collision resistance. Hashtable hashes should be as collision resistant as possible while not sacrificing speed. Sort of anyway.

IIrc changing a modulo to an and roughly doubled the performance of my hashtable.

I'd say people were a lot fewer thousands of years ago.

What about XML for content and XSLT for display? User could use a variety of XSLTs depending on constraints, viewing conditions.

Until they shut it down.
