Sure besides lots of physical and op-sec, your best bet is to insure yourself w/ payoff money that is liquid and untraceable. Failing all else, you could offer this to your kidnappers and hope that they are satisfied not to go to the trouble of having to involve other parties thus increasing their risk of incrimination. See my comment about "Casino" the movie...

In "Casino" Robert De Niro's character puts $2M in jewels in a safe-deposit box that even he doesn't have the key for (he naively gives the key to his wife- but that's another part of the plot) He narrates that the jewels are "in case he got in trouble". Ostensibly so he could pay off kidnappers.

winklevoss? Distributing keys doesn't prevent you from having a few "digits" (no pun intended) removed. "Oh you can't get them? Call the other key-holders. Better hope they like your fingers as much as you do."

@jcranmer agreed. US financial markets (breadth/depth) / US law influence over multi-jurisdicational banking entities, ensures that US law can/will be enforced by almost all players.

Should the authorities in a particular jurisdiction fail to enforce financial crimes, indicting a bank or sanctioning an individual in that region can effectively block all counter-parties from doing business with them (as they are now doing business with a sanctioned or indicted party).

It's hard to explain in laymens terms without sounding like some kind of "Illuminati-nut" (for lack of a better term) ):

And also requires a better understanding of interbank standards and practices, money/current-markets, SWIFT, etc.

Started seeing them doing 'eSports' drops occasionally now... gasp! (I thought their long-form "OJ" documentary was excellent!)

agreed.

I'm looking for some references to QT / QML guys to help us along on our project that's very much active. Bonus points if you have multimedia pipeline experience! E-mail: jordan(at)evasyst(dot)com

I swear I shot that guy!

Gotcha! I've also heard of people using WebRTC to reduce latency by setting up a direct-to-user link between the ingest server and the end-user? Any idea how this helps?

@zbobet2012 makes sense, certainly, you can shrink the chunk-size down to 2 seconds, I wonder if it's not practical to do though wouldn't the practicality of setting up a setup > teardown of a new HTTP connection, fetching the next chunk, etc. cause inconsistency in completing this procedure by the time a 2 second chunk has played out.

I believe people have used WebSockets to push these segments? Since once you have established one TCP socket connection you don't have to setup a new "session" for each discrete segment?

I'm interested in learning what the average "delay" for live-streaming would be? At a high-level RTMP > (Segmenter: EvoStream) HLS > Cassandra < NginX-LUA < HTTP Request (seems to flow model outlined here (From the 2014 World Cup): https://www.nginx.com/blog/globo-coms-live-video-platform-fi...)

I'd assume it's minimum > 20 seconds depending on setup and teardown time for first "chunk" in a sequence to reach cache and be transferred to a user?

Anyone have any insight on RTMP + HLS / MPEG-DASH -> WebRTC? Ala www.beam.pro (what they call FTL)?

Good observation. And also a disappointing.

@TheNanex, Eric?

I have always been facinated by the underlying technology that drives Nanex's products. I follow http://www.nanex.net/NxResearch/ regularly and would like to see some more technical anotomy of some of the tools you guys have built.

Thanks and great work!

Yes, "pure-democracy" and/or "populist" politics has worked out so well in the 20th Century. More than 50% of a group of people doesn't like (or is convinced they don't like) something or someone for whatever reason, hmmm, I think that's how people end up in ovens.

We have a democratic-republic in the United States so popular / populist majorities can't inflict absolute will over unpopular / unpopulist people / regions.

Populists today, at least in the US, aren't as dangerous as they are / were in countries where changing the constitution is much easier for a powerful / popular leader.

"In ten years, he believes, psilocybin will be reclassified a Schedule II drug; there will be clinical centers, equipped with trained and certified guides, around the country. This is his life’s mission—not only to get to the bottom of why psychedelic therapy works wonders but to legitimize it as a viable treatment."

I think that quote was the most meaningful part of this article for me, declassifying / rescheduling drugs that are currently relegated to the "Scheduled 1/No accepted medical use", and the DEA almost NEVER granting research permits, not only creates unnecessary criminal felons in the United States, it has a second harm of suppressing research into as-yet unknown presumptive medically beneficial aspects of these substances.

excellent stuff...install and ran their package on my box with apache2 and was SSL'd in 2 minutes flat. will visit again.

Shenzhen is awash with this stuff...you can buy a 16GB keychain for $1 ... however you lucky if it works

Completely agree, the industry is very commoditized, and like all SEMIs very cyclical. Build new capacity, buy test, dry-spell, repeat. Had to fill-out the bottom-line with CMOS testing, etc.

He was building commercial testers, Sytest and then Nextest, and given the cyclical nature, the consolidation in the industry circa 2008 when Teradyne swallowed Eagle & Nextest makes sense. I'll read up on ONFI - any specifics you're curious about I can ask him directly...

My uncle started and sold a few companies in the NAND Flash testing market for manufacturers in the mid-90s and early 2000s. I'm having dinner with him this evening - any questions I can query him with about the state of the art?

The statement: "Since most NAND manufacturers allow themselves to ship Flash chips with a certain number of bad blocks, it is important to scan a chip for bad blocks before the initial programming occurs." makes me wonder about what degree of discrepancy different manufacturers allow - and how much better a piece of hardware is that costs significantly more based on "brand-name" rather than the almost useless junk you can pick-up for a few pennies a GB in China are?

ha!
