    And in Google Chrome, because i compiled it myself for Chromium

  2. What a hype.. on Virtual Reality Predictions For 2016 and Beyond (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    So they connected 2 small monitors with lever, after that they told everyone that's MUST HAVE product so they can make some money of it. And message is spreading like a virus. Really it's getting worse every year with this hype about everything.

  3. Re:Should Go replace Java? on Interviews: Ask Alan Donovan and Brian Kernighan About Programming and Go · · Score: 1

    It would be very good choice. No need to fight with oracle on java. I really like Go and using it as backend language and language in which i could write apps on Android would be something that would make Go VERY POPULAR language.

  4. There is a cost with all that on Moscow State University Releases 10th HEVC Video Codec Comparison (compression.ru) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Encoding times. You can't squeeze more in less space without cost, cost here are cpu cycles. Encoding times of higher quality stuff which i did was about 5-6 times longer than comparable quality of x264. But it's size was around 40-50% smaller than x264 one. There is a cost not only in encoding, there is a cost in decoding too, it takes a lot more cpu cycles to decode x265. Either way HEVC is VERY GOOD codec.

  5. Only? wait for IOT on New SOHO Router Security Audit Uncovers Over 60 Flaws In 22 Models · · Score: 2

    Then you will see headlines like this "New audit of devices from Internet of Things category uncovers 65 000 flaws in 8 000 different devices, 240 million of this devices are in use today globally". Just think about those botnets...

  6. It's about content in EUROPE.. Not whole world on Europe Vows To Get Rid of Geo-Blocking · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Example Netflix, have different movies and tv series across countries in EU, because of the agreements with content owners. So for example i can't watch content from Netflix in EU country A because i live i country B. From now on i will be able to get all the content in EU.

  7. Re:Why Not on Microsoft, Chip Makers Working On Hardware DRM For Windows 10 PCs · · Score: 1

    Sure you can, but you need additional hardware for this. Because you need to do it between GPU and screen. You will not have access to decoded stream from software, this is the main point of this DRM.

  8. Re:Not going to work. on Microsoft, Chip Makers Working On Hardware DRM For Windows 10 PCs · · Score: 1

    It was weakness with the older software method. With hardware you will get encrypted stream until it gets to GPU. It means that you will not be able to touch decoded stream from software. Which means you can't crack it without additional hardware.

  9. Re:This never works on Microsoft, Chip Makers Working On Hardware DRM For Windows 10 PCs · · Score: 1

    I think it will not be so trivial. Think about it, let's analyse this method. They are working with GPU suppliers, all decryption will take place on GPU. Which means no software will be capable of ripping it from screen like you can do it now. Because none of decoding takes place in software, which means you do not have access to decoded stream in OS. It means you need to rip it between GPU ----> Monitor path. Your GPU and CPU will have unique ID which will be probably sent to content supplier. Content will be encrypted for your hardware only. So the only way to get the video and audio streams is to use additional hardware.

    You don't see the bigger picture here. There are certain segments of market that NEED to be regulated. 2008 finance crisis was because of deregulation's in finance market. 90% of products do not need to be regulated, but energy,finance etc. are not one of them.

  15. One big equation wich equals zero on Supermassive Diet: Black Holes Bulk-Up On Dark Matter · · Score: 0

    World was born from nothing and is still nothing, it's just zero. At beginning it was only zero but it evolved, at the same time it stayed 0. There are 2 sides of equation. Imagine very simple equation which is 1 - 1 = 2 + 2 - 4 , both of sides equals zero. Equation evolves with time making it more complicated, making world as it is now. Why speed of light is that number and not the other? From where those numbers that rule our universe ? From this equation. On one side you can have rules that we can measure and on the other ones we can't but they give the other side values. All comes to zero on both sides, because everything was born from nothing and is still in summary nothing. That's why you see "mysterious link" between dark matter and black holes.

  16. NO, will be cracked. on New Encryption Method Fights Reverse Engineering · · Score: 0

    "doesn't allow the code to be decrypted until the last possible moment" AND THEN IT'S DECRYPTING... which means it's accessible, which means it's crackable... There is no way to make anti RE tool that is uncrackable on current computer architecture. I'ts just impossible. Because you can't run any instructions in assembler without decrypting/decoding them to machine languge which can be interpreted by cpu. The only thing that change with systems like denuvo or hermes is the time needed for cracking the protection, they are adding more steps that's all...

  17. No way without AI on Programming Safety Into Self-Driving Cars · · Score: 2

    Simple example to see how complex this idea is, would be just looking at CAPTCHA, anti-spam solution by google. It's only one little static image with couple of numbers. But cracking how to teach machine to read it took years.. And even now it's not 100% accurate on every case. So imagine now that you need to decode whole dynamic reality surrounding the car, reality in which everything can have similar shapes and colors. If i see drunk person walking on sidewalk i can determine if that person will maybe walk on road or not, how can computer determine that this person is even drunk? maybe it's someone that is showing other person how to dance or playing some silly game. Reality is so complex and unpredictable, so many variables, that until we get real A.I. you can forget about self driving cars. All the hype about this now is just marketing gimmick. Simple tasks like parking are doable because there is not much of computing there, just couple of sensors that can determine from reflection the distance and algorithm to count if and how to park there.... but real driving is unreachable, even if you will pack fastest supercomputer cluster in the world, i assure you that this car will make accident or injure someone. Computer can't achieve the same computation power as our brains in certain situations. It's just unreal. Ask anyone that is really working with AI and neural networks. If we would gather all computation power that was made by humankind (from computers, phones, microcontrollers etc.) it would not be enough with current our knowledge and architecture to make fully safe self-driving car.

    Humans can recognize things in real world which machine can't without learning first. Another thing good luck with recognizing lanes by that car on really snowy day, or how they turn. This are things that machine can't understand on it's own, like it can't understand that it exists.

    What are you comparing ? You seen how hard was it to crack captcha only ? for VISUAL recognition ? Because VISUAL not sound is important here. Sound is EASY like 1 million times easier. You don't know what you are talking about, trust me, we are not even near the real solution. You have so many different shapes in real world, colors, different motions that human can understand and predict next but algorithms just can't, don't be naive. Without real AI forget about that cars on streets.

    None of today's self-driving car is ready for production and will NOT be until we make real AI. Too many variables for that kind of system, pattern recognition and prediction systems that is unreachable for current algorithms and electronics. Maybe in 30 years from now.

    If you hack the bank do you see USD go down? It was not bitcoin network compromised. Another thing that is very important to that is the fact that they will refund any loss. That's why there was no price turbulence.

  25. Hierarchical wallets on Bitstamp Bitcoin Exchange Suspended Due To "Compromised Wallet" · · Score: 2

    So how they got their wallets compromised? i mean it's 2015, we have hierarchical deterministic wallets which means you can't steal ANY bitcoins, because even if you have access to the server the only thing you can get is public keys. So we have 2 possibilities: one: they use normal wallets = amateurs, two : whole servers were compromised. No other solution.
