There is some interesting Q&A at the end of Pascal's talk. My schoolboy French is not fast enough to do a proper translation unfortunately. He was asked about parallel (software) decoding and I think the gist was he…
I'm not sure how battle hardened Mastodon is, obviously they don't have the resources of Twitter or Facebook. Probably easy to DDOS an individual server. However, it might be possible for other nodes to transparently…
Oblique to the predictable Slack XMPP decision, but relevant to federation: Mastondon is a facinating federated social network. It addresses the identity/reputation issues without embracing fb-fascism or…
Doh, you're right. I looked at the site earlier and forgot to click on the red triangle and click "re-enable warnings". Mea culpa. I checked firefox and it works correctly too.
Unlikely to be extradited for an extra-territorial claim. But the members of the executive and the board might not want to strike Germany from their list of travel destinations forever.
I tested going to a https link via gmail. On desktop chrome, it immediately opens the link (and hence passes the link parameters). On mobile it pops up a privacy error, "Attackers might be trying to steal your…
It seems grandiose to call that 'certificate pinning' when it is just hard coding, e.g. a self-signed CA cert or (worse) a particular server cert. Makes me suspect that a lot of client side validation is happening with…
Certificate pinning is going away: http://www.zdnet.com/article/google-chrome-is-backing-away-f... I think we can be confident that sites that don't even use CSP won't be implementing Expect-CT any time.
If you look at https://track.emirates.email you will see that it isn't emirates either, but a service provided by Mandrill, an add-on for MailChimp, and the cert is valid for https://mandrillapp.com. Surely they could…
@minimaxir for your list: - Not possible to downvote some posters, as the authors have extreme karma (e.g. >10,000, though I don't know the exact number), even if you have >>500 karma. It is notable that HN does not…
You know you can get a support contract right? Where you pay the experts at Qt and they help you?
Maybe this was the case with Qt4, but Qt5 (that is, QML) is a dream.
You really think the memo was "starting a meaningful conversation"? Did you even read it?
That memo was never intended to remain private correspondance. And I'd hope that Google would have terminated his employment in any case.
They might not have paid for a source code licence. or they did, but they never made sure they had a copy, just left it with the developer. Surprsingly common for companies to get a big binder of paperwork, an installer…
The real benefit from this work is not exfiltrating from airgapped computers, but from code running inside Intel SGX or similar isolated computation modes.
Projector fiddling has been replaced with VTC fiddling. I hate Polycom/Skype with a far greater passion than any printer.
There is no particular reason to expect that qemu has any greater security that vbox. All of these systems have a significant amount of very critical code; I particularly sceptical of the hardware emulation part. AWS…
The investors didn't want standard returns, the valuation was based on them growing rapidly for years, which means new markets. They could have made money from their drone product line by diversifying beyond 'toy'. But…
No one who cares about latency even has 10GBASE-T hardware, because it introduces a vast amount of coding latency. It is also very power inefficient.
Well, Colin Furze can make it in his garage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soxxPyaAT1k
As well as being higher pitched, contra-rotating designs also produce more noise. The sound field is non-uniform (mostly axial), and there are claims of being able to reduce it through special phasing of the two rotors,…
All that is missing is mention of blockchain.
You are correct, much better lift, speed, economy from a single large slower moving rotor (or a pair of counter-rotating blades, cost/benefits described in other posts). The reason all the cheap drones use 4 or more…
I'm almost sure this is a champion satirical comment.
