Ebert after he lost his voice wondered if there was a way to use his own voice for speech software. He offered a bounty for this on his blog if I remember.

Corner stores in BC are typically selling Costco bought merch from Bellingham. http://www.kirotv.com/videos/news/video-canadian-shoppers-sw...

No gov subsidies in Canada for milk/cheese so cheaper to buy American products at retail price. There was also a ring of thieves in Canada who imported wrecked cars from the US as scrap metal and ripped the VIN numbers from them, then attached them to stolen cars to sell. They made est 200 million doing this over 10 years.

The Princeton Companion to Mathematics is exactly what you are looking for http://press.princeton.edu/titles/8350.html

None of the vendors have javascript enabled though, how to disable .js was in the vendor guide and all over their forums as a warning.

Princeton has Brian Kernighan as an academic advisor http://www.cs.princeton.edu/ugrad/becoming-cs-major and their undergrad CS theory courses look incredible compared to the univ I went to, and I paid only $10k/yr less in tuition than a Princeton student.

A test I learned in jail from petty computer trespassing charges when I was a kid is to light a small amount of powder on fire sitting on foil, if the residue is cherry red it's mainly mdma and not piperazines. Once again prison is criminal university.

If regeant testing a pill break it in half and test the inside too since often the outside is coated in mdma and the inside is shitty pipes

A single price index/ticker doesn't really work since every country has a different price. A lot of buyers on these sites are importing cheap MDMA from Canada and Europe where it's plentiful to their city where it fetches 3x the price. For example right now cocaine price in Canada is 2.5x what it costs in the US, and at least 4x more in Australia. Reason I know this because every week there's been shootings here of gangsters jacking each other to get their hands on high priced product. Before it wasn't worth it to them to risk a shooting but now the payoff is $80k per kilo so the streets are a warzone.

When weed is fully legalized guess we will see it as a traded commodity on the NYSE. Invest in a dope portfolio, freedom 35 retirement plan

Dealers use moisture barrier bags that are heat sealed now as apparently dogs can detect vacuum sealed bags though unclear if it's outside contamination, like somebody putting together a package in a room full of weed shavings or smoke.

This is also a sample site, you can fork the entire project if you wanted to use this elsewhere https://github.com/gordonwritescode/cointract.me

Has Bitpay integration to convert to a bank deposit upon receiving, uses BitAuth though I would remove it if I forked this for localbitcoins.com methods of 2FA.

"..the Unix/POSIX/Linux systems of today are messier, clumsier, and more complex than the systems the original Unix was designed to replace.

It started to go wrong when the BSD signal stuff went in (I complained at the time), then symlinks, sockets, X11 windowing, and so on, none of which were added with proper appreciation of the Unix model and its simplifications."

You're probably using plenty of OpenBSD software anyways like pf in OSX

There's also the tried and true Lions' Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition with Source Code pdf floating around to understand what's going on in the workings of a timesharing OS.

Nickolai Zeldovich a current MIT professor wrote HiStar OS from scratch and it's source is still available online to view how a minimally trusted system could work http://www.scs.stanford.edu/histar/

Police did the same dance with BlackBerry, they claimed to the media it was impossible for them to spy on calls and texts but we all know now that was a ruse to encourage criminals to use them. UK riots they had no problems handing over decrypted messages to the police. The Datalocking company, who ran their own BB Enterprise servers and peddled "unbreakable encryption" were remotely accessed by the FBI and keys pulled, with the help of Blackberry themselves of course. Any customs agent in the western world can plug a locked BB into a little device they have that unlocks the screen immediately. Finspy/mobile malware let's the police monitor communications in real time too (and iOS).

Samsung Android phones the proprietary modem can r,w /sdcard and /data unless you either install Replicant or use some kind of permission controls like SEAndroid to lock out modem.img access to everything. Apple likely has a similar proprietary baseband with full remote control over the whole application OS they can offer the FBI to quietly activate targeted spying.

That's exactly what thegrugq does too. Tomorrow if I find an iOS bug that's exploitable I don't have a rolodex of contacts to sell it to hence the need for this service. As a middle man he can confirm the bug hasn't already been discovered and is generally trusted not to keep a copy himself and hack the planet with it after sale. This arrangement protects the seller too from revealing their exploit code to the buyer before payment. Anybody could create a Tor market for auctioned exploits but somebody has to verify the goods first or you get swamped with junk offers.

NetBSD can run as a xen dom0 host too though normally I use Alpine Linux/OpenRC as dom0 because it's so small.

In 2016 DARPA is staging the first totally automated CTF competition http://www.cybergrandchallenge.com/ we are getting closer to SKYNET not being fiction.

It's in Niels Ferguson's public comments to NIST regarding XTS-AES and storage that's not on physical hardware. tptacek explained it in his comments how this attack works if you search them https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7675698#up_7676864

This service if I remember encrypts files/container with user keys then they encrypt it again on their cloud backup with their key, so it's not an encrypted backup sitting on a dropbox server. Of course you have to trust their keys won't be stolen by somebody wanting at those XTS-AES encrypted backups.

Those are all mediatek phones which they refuse to honor GPL and release the kernel sources. I suspect Android One will be the same. You can check out the CyanogenMod porting guide and pull the kernel and recovery settings from boot.img, modify clockwork mod with settings you found in boot.img to get root access then flash(most Chinese clones use fastboot to flash) CWM recovery and run a script in the porting guide they have to yank proprietary binaries off the device and attempt to fully port using the pre-compiled kernel you ripped from the boot image. I did it with a Mediatek i9300 clone from Alibaba but built and ran Replicant mod on it instead of CyanogenMod. Some things won't work like proprietary GPS and NFC but I didn't want those anyways.

If Android One Mediatek kernel is released can use it on matching Chinese clones unless it's some special kernel/chipset only made for Android One device. If we are lucky and that chipset is mass produced by Alibaba suppliers, and Google has the kernel source available we can get even cheaper phones than the One and run better software on it.

Snowden docs seem to indicate tasked means you task schedule their IP addresses into QUANTUM to wait to be pwned next time they go to Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube ect.

I know about this author from growing up listening to 'Hans Kloss Misery Hour' who is a Polish student that runs an apocalyptic/dystopian broadcast that has consistently recommended Lem.

I like his Patrick Allen narrated post-atomic disaster intros. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Citr--MiseryHour/~3/gWL4KB91Z...

Water will be a serious problem, if I remember correctly Jordan has to import potable water. I'm sure they would be interested in any ycombinator ideas, and the government of California.

Where I live there is an abundance of crystal clear drinking water being wasted by fracking to sell LNG at bargain basement prices.

>Hollywood 2.0

Actors are now being hired based on the amount of followers they have on twitter. If you have a lot of worldwide followers you're guaranteed to be casted since that's where all the money is these days.

>Government

The problem with this is dealing with government technocrats who will never deploy your software as is and will demand all sorts of complexity, basically creating the same garbage they were using before. If you can somehow survive this insanity there are gigantic contracts up for bid, for example many post offices are using Microsoft Mobile devices and looking into some kind of wearable scanner that doesn't charge hefty MS licensing fees. Then there's the Integrated Case Management software contract for $182 million that still doesn't work http://www.vancouversun.com/technology/government+million+co...

GMX has pretty poor spam filters judging by the inbox screencaps. 11,000+ spam emails in inbox and only 2 in spam folder.

Claim the exchange operator hired you to rob their own business and they have the private key :P

They claim they do but there's never been any 3rd party auditing or verification of this that I know of. In the gold business every reliable business has auditing and insurance while so far Bitcoin businesses are run like a regular startup with open offices. Who's cleaning the offices after hours with access to the workstations or servers, who are the hired developers and are they smuggling wallet stealing software inside to transfer to themselves while on a flight to Brazil, who is writing their custom wallet and is it robust, how do we know they didn't copy every address to themselves. Lot's of security questions I've never seen addressed by any of the big exchanges. There was a payment processor startup that posted their office to bitcointalk.org which was floor to ceiling open glass windows with laptops facing the outside. How many binoculars are trained on those laptops across the street to get logins.

Some friends of mine trade large amounts of Bitcoin on a regular basis and there's never been much of a delay withdrawing. I doubt they are going to a bank to physically take out printed keys everyday for every transaction over $10,000 or phoning 5 people to combine keys. I bet the backups are kept in a safe deposit box, the cold wallet is likely an offline system anybody can walk up to with some kind of feeble authentication judging by past Bitcoin exchange incompetence.

Many of the smaller exchanges are using Blockchain.info wallets as their hot wallet too but won't admit it.

Not at all, you can freely walk into most exchange offices. Theoretically an armed robbery of exchanges and payment processors would be the perfect crime. Commit private address to memory or tattoo it on yourself in code, after the robbery forcing them to transfer to your public address and waiting out confirmations turn yourself in to the police and do the 5 yrs. Walk out with millions worth of bitcoins on your arm. (Penalty here is 5yrs, unsure anywhere else). Blockchain.info would prob nickname that address "Hans Grueber"

Everybody blames Gox's shitty custom php wallet and general total incompetence of it's CEO not Satoshi who hasn't worked on bitcoin for years

Surprised "social tv" hasn't taken off more, though I guess people commenting using twitter during broadcasts kind of killed that idea I liked the pirated streams that had open chatrooms with just enough moderation to kill spam and wild political ranting where you could joke about what you're watching, kind of how taima.tv and JustinTV used to operate.
