Both parties look like the good guys to me. As a bonus, it was interesting to me to read about his setup.
Thank you!
But, the fake house still looks a little strange, as it doesn't have quite the level of finishing of a real home.
I don't know if it's just me or not, but it's not working for me in Firefox (OSX Mavericks 10.9.1 and Firefox v26). The X's and checkmarks aren't showing up next to the highlighted selections. Works fine in Safari.
Pre-internet, early 80s, I had my first computer, a Commodore 64. I was pretty active on the local BBS's and some long distance ones via an open modem relay I discovered at a local General Motors plant while wardialing.
I started using a new service called Quantum Link and hung out with a lot of shady characters that were doing phreaking and credit card number passing.
That's a path I probably would have continued down until one day I received a call from a guy saying he was with the FBI, that they new what I was doing, and were going to be paying me a visit.
Being something like 12, 13 years old, I freaked out and quickly hid all my pirated floppies and took my C=64 down to my friends house to hide it.
After a couple of weeks my patience wore out and I got my system back, but kept my nose clean after that (other than copying software, you couldn't have a C=64 and not trade with friends:).
It was only after four or five years later that I found out that the "FBI agent" was actually a friend of my friend's older brother. Doh! Probably all for the best.
The Senators aren't supposed to represent the people, they are supposed to represent the State's interests (though that seems to have been forgotten).
The people are represented by the Representatives, the number of which is proportional to population.
By using Go, it avoids a lot of existing biases. I think that's what that slide is referring to.
It's not really any different than downloading and installing/executing something like Sublime Text or Alfred.
I haven't noticed any issues, and typically get 4-5 hours of usage from a full charge. /shrug
Congrats to the creator of StackEdit, it seems very well done. It also seems to work really well while offline, which is nice. The biggest blocker for me is that when I need to create or edit a markdown file, it's usually a local file in a git repo. In my case, it is simply more convenient to use a native app.
I used to hold the same view. Just yesterday I decided that if it takes a significant portion of one term just to learn the ropes, things are broken. They should stop learning and start doing.
They seem to be learning the wrong lessons, anyway. They end up learning how to consolidate and maintain power-bases.
There's a big X in the upper right corner that acts like a Close button. Clicking it hides the article and re-enables the rest of the page.
The attack is against the RSA implementation specifically. Is there a gpg asymmetric encryption that would be considered safe? If not, is there a reasonable gpg alternative?
