You'll find out in the press. That's what the press is there for. And the more transparent a project is, the easier it is to find out whether it does something else than it claims it does. TOR, being a true open source project, is a very transparent project.
We should just leave the industry to itself, and let them sort out how to do stuff. Why should I be interested in a company launching a product that twenty other companies offer as well, knowing that in five years maybe three will still be around.
The Blockchain revolution of the banking sector is very important, centralized trust systems are a descendant of the "mainframe" model of the past. But why treat each of these companies like a messiah. There are tons of them.
Java (and other languages running in virtual machines or interpreters) provides the most protections
Yes, java provides lots of protections, but those protections come with a cost, that's paid by java at runtime. Rust provides the same level of protection, but it offers it at native speed (well, not 100% the same as C++, e.g. array access is always checked, so you should use iterators, they do O(1) many checks).
Generally only cases where safe code is calling to existing buggy C library for the data processing (for example image handling) can it untrusted input become a problem.
Same goes for Rust. The difference is though that you can actually write performant image decoders in Rust, while you have a hard time with Java (its entirely possible to write them, they just wont be as performant).
Nope, in fact its the opposite. Thanks to its ownership model, Rust eliminates most of the ugly access bugs that you might run into if you do multithreading. It puts the information whether something needs to be locked before being accessed, or whether its totally threadsafe into the type system, so that the compiler can verify everything is working as you intended it.
Of course, its not perfect, but rust is one of the languages you might want to start your multithreaded program in. It doesn't save you from thinking about the problems, but if you got it wrong, it won't compile. There are still bugs, but none that fall into the category C++ would describe as "undefined behaviour" (and those are many times the reasons for the most evil security bugs AND the hardest to debug).
I am also wondering about why you actually need to run printer driver code with system privileges. Isn't that a wrong approach? Yes, I agree printer drivers might not be required at all, but why do network printer drivers need full system privileges?
Its not that they are trying to speak over some hardware bus or something, all they need to have is an interface to the OS where the documents come in, and a network fd or something. They don't even need access to the file system, do they. Maybe for some settings and a cache and stuff. But really, they can be totally sandboxed. But well its windows...
He did it without requiring a modchip. If I understood the interview right, he has built a card that can be put into the extension slot which simulates the CD-ROM controller chip. So it essentially fakes a CD-ROM to the OS.
And yes, those devices do have "DRM" of some sort: its a "wobbly" line at the outer border of the CD-ROM which the reader reads. All writeable CD-ROMs have non-wobbly lines. Without a modchip you'll have problems.
This approach does NOT fix the linked "vulnerabilities" about the TOR network, where compromised nodes as members of the network can spy on traffic, and a sufficiently large amount can even totally identify users. This vulnerability is unfixable by systems where you let everyone set up a node.
Yeah. Biotechnology is one of the areas I expect to vastly improve our lives in the next few decades. Its only a few years since we've found out how to "sed -i" the genome, and there are lots of things we'll discover.
Dying from age won't be a problem for anyone in 2100 I guess, at least for some parts of the society. Maybe all parts, maybe not.
You really believe this shit? The UK just discussed legislation to lick the asses of the content providers, shortly after the EU vote. And it will continue to worsen for UK citizens.
In fact you *need* state cartels (like the EU) to stop big corporations from exploiting countries. Think of the taxes situation: companies chose the country with the lowest taxes as their official place to be registered. This is nothing evil by the companies, but it creates competition amongst the countries about who has the lowest taxes. The end of the story is that the companies profit from super low taxes, and the countries get overloaded by debt like greece.
The only way out of this is to form a (game-theoretic) cartel of countries, as the EU is. Then you have at least *some* power over internationally acting companies.
The biggest problem the republicans have with trump is that he is too left for them in some points. For example, Trump still demands that the international treaties should be made in a way that the USA profits from them, and not just the corporations. This is something the republicans don't really like.
Also, he supports an obamacare-like system, albeit he of course has critique points of the obamacare system. In republican TV debate he said: "I don't want to let the people die in the streets". After that, other republicans wondered whether they were in the republican debate because of Trumps "left" points.
Also, he is much rather a populist than a Nazi. Nazis usually are not populists. However, he talks in a way Nazis can identify with. Probably lots of Trump supporters are Nazis.
Either way, I still prefer Trump over, say sarah palin.
I'm happy about any little piece of market share that SD gets rid of. SD is a standard for planned obsolescence. You know, I could buy a multi gigabyte CF card for a 2006-ish camera, and it worked, even if NOBODY in 2006 ever thought of CF cards. This is because CF basically spoke the ATA protocol, which of course supported already bigger devices even in 2006.
SD on the other hand was always jealous about the capacity. They made sure that there is an artificial border on the capacity, and raised it from model to model. Tons of sdhxdhc BS requiring you to buy new cameras each couple of years if you wanted to benefit from improvements of storage card technology.
I don't know where UFS stands, but I do think that anything that harms SD is good.
You may only watch 99% of the movie otherwise you'll die. And if you figure out the wrong moment to not watch the movie but focus on the street you'll die too.

If these 'custom' blockchains are not public but only between banks
Well each blockchain ledger is highly customized for the place its used for, but usually they improve the current situation.

In fact there is already a debian package of rust: https://packages.debian.org/st...
And debian means ubuntu and lots of other distros.

They are made of dark energy, which forms most of the energy in our universe! This means, hacking dark energy power grids brings most space dollars.
He wants an office, probably.

And there is Java, the island.

Do you think airplane pilots who are using the autopilot are allowed to just ignore what is going on and watch a movie?
Why watch a movie if you can also sleep: https://www.theguardian.com/wo...
Its only a rumor: http://sourceplanet.net/news/i...
The story is wrong.
Five years maximum if you stab someone (without killing them): http://www.inbrief.co.uk/offen...
Average prison sentence length for rape: 8 years: http://www.publications.parlia...
You forgot the first step: it was independence day! This is the second step.

Is this really worse than rape?
Probably because the webserver is running on that machine as well.
