    Subject has dragged the body

    Hey, how did it find out about the body? Hmm, I'd better cover my traces.

  2. Re:how about barcodes? on Walmart Tests Blockchain For Use In Food Recalls (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes, but you need a blockchain to make your cloud-based internet of things 2.0 social mining semantic smart-city experiment.

  3. Re:Not dishonest, probabilistic! on Is Google's AI-Driven Image-Resizing Algorithm Dishonest? (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    The main problem here is judges and jurors not having a clue. Which is related to them having zero scientific training.

  4. Re:Pretty much garbage for static images on Is Google's AI-Driven Image-Resizing Algorithm Dishonest? (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Have you seen this nice little problem? http://mathworld.wolfram.com/C... 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, x. Can you guess x?

  7. Re:Alternate title on Twitter Says It's Cracking Down on Hate Speech (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I never claimed I had a constitutional right to have free speech on Twitter. I just think it's cool to be in a community that does not "expressly deny" it.

    Oooh, now I understand what happened in Stranger Things.

  11. Shift of responsibility on British Retail Tesco Bank: 20,000 Customers Lose Money (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    How can they simply say "oops, money was taken from your accounts" and get away with it? They manage those accounts. It's their friggin' job to make sure money stays there.

  12. How does the "persistent over reboots" part work? I haven't read the whole paper, but a search for "reboot" or related terms returns nothing.

  13. Re:My personal web site does not support HTTPS on More Than 50 Percent of All Pages In Chrome Are Loaded Over HTTPS Now (onthewire.io) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Ever heard of https://letsencrypt.org/ ?

  14. I am not spreading FUD. I am just asking. I am not the one who is claiming that the source is available. And no, I don't consider the fact that it's a browser extension an automatic guarantee that the source code for every single part of it is available in human-readable form. Because of obfuscation, because there is the possibility of compiling other languages to javascript, and because maybe they did not release the whole toolchain. Moreover, the docs on their site mention a "binary component" of the browser extension, https://helpdesk.lastpass.com/..., which makes things even more confusing for me. I don't see a "clean" github repo for the browser extension as I see one for the CLI.

  15. You know Javascript can be obfuscated, right?

  16. Is this the world's largest only because all the larger ones are already in orbit, and so technically outside of this world?

  17. That's only the command-line client. Is the source for the browser extensions available?

  18. Oh - your are right. Sorry, I didn't mean to call a "rant" comment #53177877.

  19. Re:Going by the data in the summary... on Male Birth Control Shot Found Effective (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    It depends... What is the effectiveness of the competing methods?

  20. "I don't know anyone who likes it."

    I do like Unity. I am not interesting in getting to know a person who writes rants like your one, though.

  21. As ol' Bruce put it: on Google's AI Created Its Own Form of Encryption (engadget.com) · · Score: 2
    Schneier's law:

    Anyone, from the most clueless amateur to the best cryptographer, can create an algorithm that he himself can't break. It's not even hard. What is hard is creating an algorithm that no one else can break, even after years of analysis. And the only way to prove that is to subject the algorithm to years of analysis by the best cryptographers around.

    How do you do that, if I may ask?

    people who make a profit by stealing others' works and selling them as their own

    From what I read in the article, he did neither of those things. He did not steal (the authors still have their books), he only made copies. He did not sell them, he put them online for free.
