That's correct. Pushbullet does not have any complicated session handshake and management so just a simple request with predefined headers and content will suffice. I use it this way with logstash http output.

Hell, even years later when I was in high school and I was building my PC mostly from spare parts that friends and family gave me, I used to keep a lot of data burned on CDs. My HDDs were maybe 10GB total back then, so I shuffled things around, burning a lot of it to CD-Rs using slow 1x burner.

This hashing power is useless outside of bitcoin. Even for password cracking.

It's not the first one I've seen, but the general idea is that it lets you write in a completely distraction free environment (when you full-screen it).

Still, we are talking about one-shot solutions for big events, like this Game of Thrones release.

Obviously I can come up with anything and you would be able to present a strategy how to beat it. But that's not the point.

If this kind of various copyright protections become norm, people might actually be afraid to leak stuff, because you will never know how safe it is and what kind of protection you might run into. Even after analyzing spectrogram and generally watching the media multiple times, trying to find anything weird.

Well, obviously when you grab infinite number of watermarked copies, you might be able see where the irregularities are. But that's not how leaks happen.

Only if you knew that was already going on. Security by obscurity, but still, I don't believe this kind of watermarking was ever used.

Maybe something like Cinavia[1] could be used instead? It's an analog watermarking system for detecting pirated copies and refusing to play them if player detects such copy is played on something else than bluray disc. Apparently this survives transcoding, and was/is major pain for people ripping their discs for various reasons and trying to play the files on certified players.

Even though Minecraft is not top quality code, you've provided very weak source. See [0] which provided memory usage analysis, that turn out pretty bad. It credits Notch (remember that he stopped working on the game at some point) as author of more optimal code, though ("The original Notch code (pre 1.3) was allocating about 10-20 MB/sec which was much more easy to control and optimize.").

There are other problems with original Minecraft, that surfaced when people started to actively disassemble (or deobfuscate) it. But those are mostly unsourced, and I do not feel the authority to speak about it.

What do you mean by unnecessary canvas operations? I'm genuinely curious, as I'm very interested in elm (and FRP in general), just could not find the time yet to do anything with it.

Right to quote.

Everything looks nothing like I've been used to. It will take a while to cope with...

Wow, that's really cool. I just added one road that was missing in the neighborhood.

The criminal organizing the "drug fund" ended up being arrested: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/06/the-fly-has-been-swatted/

Truly an example of exceptional journalism.

Same with Wrocław on this page.

This surprised me as well. "costs of living" on this page are higher than average monthly salaries in these towns.

How do you "create a few accounts"? I was under impression that once they ban you, it's over. Same person can't create more than one account. And can't create another one after a ban.

Wow, I never knew.

So far I've seen Scribd as very annoying pdf host, and most often I decide not to read the content at all when given a scribd link ("just send me the pdf, damn it!").

Same here. It felt like I ruined this whole experiment for myself ;-)

You can't exactly route real-time game traffic over proxy designed to filter http traffic.

In the meantime, check this port https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE1uKIE4e5U out.

Is it really copyrighted though?

That's weird. There was a plugin for browsers that does that, because it apparently helps some people to read faster.

There is now the Mozilla Developer Network which provides much better information. It does not top google results, though.

Same here. I actually had some troubles growing up, because I was spending too much time on the computer (learning Pascal at that time) instead of doing schoolwork. Sigh.

Very specific sha optimizations are put into these circuits, which makes it doubtful that they can be reused for any other kind orf computation involving sha.

Is this article for real? The wording is so terrible it was cringy to read. Is The Register some sort of tabloid?

Same here.

Wouldn't the attacker also have to have github keys, cause it's all HTTPS or SSH?

But with minimal effort, they can be, but it would have to be somewhat targetted attack against this particular service.

Not really, there is no way you could buy mining equipment right now and make net profits. There are several calculators online that take difficulty increase into account.
