I don't think my neck is all that odd, but two years ago in Las Vegas, the only shirt in TJ Max with my neck size was branded by none other than Donald Trump.
So I now have a Donald Trump shirt. Maybe I could auction it to Trump supporters on Ebay.
Their board also railroaded their founder and fired him three years ago.
I didn't know that. But it fits. MW used to be good. Circa 15-10 years ago I could go in and someone with a clue would find a suit that was close to fitting and them a person who knew how to alter clothing (at my local store a 70ish year old woman from Eastern Europe) would come from out back, prod, pull and mark. 1 week later the perfectly fitting suit would be ready.
On my last visit last year it was staffed with sullen teenagers who knew nothing and there was no tailor handy.
They can't make it any worse than it already is... why bid for a sinking ship?
Are you serious? Several calls to Verizon support have disabused me of that notion. Verizon is arrogant and is a money making machine. If acquired, Yahoo will change dramatically, possibly for the better, but probably for the worse.
I find it hard to believe that even Verizon could make Yahoo any worse than it already is. Although, in all fairness, "worse" is probably not the correct word to use. I think it would be more correct to say "How could Verizon make Yahoo even more pointless than it already is".
They will force Yahoo co-branding on your next smartphone/phablet thingummy from Verizon. That is when you will cease ignoring Yahoo and start hating it.
I'm not what sure what you mean by "debug specs", but if it means you read through them to make sure they're clear, you seem to suck at your job.
I'm sure of what he means because I've done my fair share of debugging specs too. They have bugs just like software has bugs. Signaling between entities with lockup states. Arrows of causation pointing in different directions (A pushes data to B when data is available. C pulls from B when it needs data, A and C don't have a clue what each other are doing). Huge architectural mismatches with reality (802.11i started out treating 802.1X as a protocol layer (google "802.1X misuses" to my run in with that one)). References to specs that don't exist. References to specs that are parameterized without providing the necessary parameters. Sometimes making really basic mistakes like thinking X.509 certs will address their authentication problems without generating an intractable pile of impossible to solve problems.
I didn't do the loads-o-cash route, so I don't remember the specifics, but I strongly suspect they mirror the marriage rules - stay married for at least two years, then you can 'remove the restriction' (that you be married to a US citizen). So I assume you need to stay invested for a period then you can remove the restriction.
You also have to stay in the US. Go away for more than 6 months and they'll revoke it.
I'm not arguing it's wrong. I'm pointing out the step function change in rules once you have $1,000,000 to spend. If you only have a few thousand the rules that apply are very different.
>Those overseas students now face being deported from the United States for buying visas,
And yet when I was in the green card process, it was made clear that one of the eligibility criteria was having $1,000,000 invested in the US companies (the others being marriage, work and things I may have forgotten). $1,000,000 buys you a visa and you can get your megabuck back afterwards. How 1% privilege is that?
>a polarized mirror with a perfect 50% chance to go through or reflect off of.
On that I call bullshit. That ain't no thing as a perfect 50% reflectivity.
From that imperfection, Pinkas's theorem is all you need to show your hopes of perfection are dashed on the harsh craggy rock of the mathematics of single input extractors.
That's correct. However if we ever get to the point where quantum computers have enough bits to attack crypto, then CSPRNGs will have a problem and instead we will need all RNGs to produce only full entropy bits, rather than random sequences with computational bounds on prediction.
Look at reverse-breakdown noise in a storage oscilloscope with bandwidth > 100MHz. Individual tunneling events are visible as you get a randomized saw-tooth. True, that are not individual electrons tunneling, but individual avalanches caused by individual electrons tunneling. A bit similar to what a photo-multiplier or a Geiger-Mueller tube gives you, but a _lot_ cheaper.
As to getting a good distribution, no physical system can do that. That is why anybody competent feeds the noise to a CPRNG instead of using it directly.
Actually it's normal and correct to feed the noise into an entropy extractor. Then feed the resulting full entropy seeds into a CSPRNG.
You can go right in skipping the extractor and there are some proofs of the seeding process in some PRNGs being also an extractor. A 2 for the price of 1 deal. But it's not codified in any standards like SP800-90 or ANSI X9.82. The focus for these schemes is lightweight crypto and it hasn't panned out yet.
Yup. That doesn't lift the tick box certification requirements, although I bet you could waive you way through this one if you paid someone enough money.
I could implement these simple standards in less than a day - just because it says "SP800-90A and the module within which is operates be FIPS140-2 certified." does not mean it costs 100,000.00 to develop.
It sucks there are so many retarded niggers in the united states government, including yourself
It costs real money to certify regardless of how cheaply you develop it.
Some casinos are using actual quantum RNGs. For $1k I can get a USB RNG that emits one photon at a time and a polarized mirror with a perfect 50% chance to go through or reflect off of. 4Mbit/s of RNG. For $35 you can get a pretty strong opensource USB RNG that uses a combination of several quantum level electric, electro-thermal, and EM noise. http://www.bitbabbler.org/
All nondeterministic RNGs are quantum in nature. All physical things are.
What people mean by quantum RNG is actually that they are isolating a single quantum event from all the others. So it has a nice distribution. Only this does not happen. As far as I've been able to ascertain (and it's my job to know) all quantum RNGs are measuring the sum of multiple events and so getting a binomial distribution that then needs a traditional entropy extraction algorithm to get to data with nondeterminism, a uniform distribution and something close to 100% Renye min entropy. This is therefore no different to normal RNGs except there's a smaller number of things in the core nondeterministic process.
For $0 extra, you can use the RNG in your computer. They're pretty good these days.
Are you selling it to the federal government? [YES] Is a random number generator used in the product? [YES] Is the product intended for a security application? [YES]
Requirement: The Random Number Generator be CAVS certified to SP800-90A and the module within which is operates be FIPS140-2 certified.
That's $100,000 before you've got out of bed, to meet the government procurement requirements.
Linux already has one, Ibex but it doesn't seem to fit the "large space of windows I can pull into view by look at them" workspace I want.
Higher resolution is probably the more important thing for programming. I'll save my money and spend it on the first to arrive - The 3D work space, or the flying car.
A) Too much salt - 0.5% increase in blood pressure sometime in the next 30 years with a statistically insignificant effect on health B) Too little salt - Death. Right now.
You can. It's just a royal pain in the arse setting up RADIUS servers and configuring EAP methods and settings certs or whatever other credential is required by the EAP method,
This is morass of complexity in security systems that in order to be secure need to be as simple as possible.

Not with a green card. Ted Cruz isn't standing for election in the UK.
If I were a voting citizen, I would not be taking your advice.

But as you throw your IoT enabled chair, it is listening to you and reporting back to the mothership via your Revolv hub. Oh wait...
