I don't think you need to do (1) and (2). I posted earlier about this. RSA seems to have had a master list of seeds for ALL their customers' devices. They have a "control panel" of some sort which can resync RSA devices.
Hence I'd guess that you only need a binary version of the control panel along with the list of seeds.
The key problem here was that RSA needlessly kept their CUSTOMER's secret seeds.
If the alternative to renting is to buy a 5-bedroom, 4000-sqft McMansion, I totally agree. If instead they buy a condo/house whose monthly payment is within $200/$300 of their current rent, it's quite possible they come out ahead. OTOH a house reduces job mobility, so the decision should be taken lightly.
I think of a 30-yr mortgage as a 30-yr rent-to-own contract with a guarantee that the rent won't rise with inflation. That's a powerful reason to buy imho.
Historically, AFAIK, people in the US have bought houses whose monthly payment was approximately same as rent. Buying large/expensive houses as a means to leverage a small downpayment into large capital gains is a relatively recent phenomenon. Am I wrong?
Hopefully I'll get some responses to this question.
What is happening to the money (cash) that investors are getting after selling off? Are sovereign bonds of other countries up? It isn't entirely clearly what triggered the selloff. If US debt. got downgraded (traditionally the safe harbor in rough markets), shouldn't money be flowing from Treasuries to stocks, causing a rally?
Where did you get the info that it was 27% of people aged 25 (i.e., excluding people older)? I would be very interested to know more. It bolded right in the original article that it's 25+: "Only 27.5% of the U.S population 25 and older has a bachelors degree."
My favourite idiocy is people cutting close in front of big rigs (they think they're being very smart but they're occupying the trucks' stopping distance).
1. Google owns Doubleclick (display advertising != small div).
2. Google owns Adsense (!= small div)
3. Even their SERPs don't have "small divs" anymore. A lot of the area "above the fold" is ads (sorry, "sponsored results").
I use Chrome occasionally and either Adthwart got disabled during an update or I didn't install it. Anyway, I'm astounded at the garbage that Google puts on their SERPs and puts on other sites via adsense/doubleclick.
Interesting. I can't see the upvotes but your comment didn't go gray on my downvote. I guess the YC/Airbnb/"laws don't apply on the Internet" fanboys are out in force just like I expected.
Nice spin: he's been charged for "excessive downloading".
Way to ignore the physical break-in to install a computer directly on a network switch. I, for one, hope that he gets a criminal record at the very least (plea deal). This really puts the crime in a different league.
Unless I have my facts wrong, in which I'm willing to be corrected.
Hmm, so Gmail showing you ads based on the email you're currently reading is unlawful? I think you have a weird (i.e., excessively narrow) definition of "target advertising to inviduals".
No, imho it's not bias. For wild fish, the US enforces the quantity of fish that can be taken much more effectively, than, say China/Japan.
Second, the regulations/practices on the environmental impact of fish farms on the nearby sea are probably better in the US than elsewhere (many fish farms are in the backwaters of an ocean).
Do you really find it hard to believe that the USA has higher standards of environmental protection than other countries?
Give your taste buds a break. You would rather buy fruit shipped halfway across the world (i.e., fruit designed for survive storage rather than taste good) rather than visit the local farmer's market? WTF.
I make it a point to not buy fruit from Chile, because I am voting with my taste buds that I want good fruit not cheap fruit.
My favorite fruit is the peach, and I wait for summer and farmer's markets so that I can get some ripe fruit (ever noticed how the supermarket peaches are usually unripe and never really ripen? they seem to go directly from unripe to rotten).
Maybe you live in North Dakota or some such remote place and Chilean fruit is all you get.
Anyway, just an excuse for me to sing the praises of California peaches. :)
Are you sure there's no "permananent storage"? Who has verified that?
Second thing: there have been numerous instances of TSA workers leering at the scanner screens as people (esp attractive women) walk through. There have definitely been instances of attractive women being "randomly" selected.
If you think petty bureaucrats should have the power to leer at a curve-revealing outline of you and your loved ones in private at their whim, I'm sorry but you're just too complaisant for a strong democracy.
On a related note, how do you feel about airport toilet/shower "security" cameras with a promise that the tapes are deleted every hour? You know, just to prevent people from smoking drugs there. Airport is a public place, so it should be ok to watch you at all times, right?
I think you're missing the conflict between allowing reasonable search and the right against self-incrimination when the thing being searched is an encrypted laptop.
At least agree that there is a conflict here; otherwise you're just being dense.
AFAIK the govt. cannot compel (legally) anybody to reveal the combination to a ticking time-bomb; or the location of a murder weapon etc. How the hell is asking for a passphrase any different? Do you really not understand the nuance here?
The other point is that AFAIK the govt. has never asserted the right to compel a handwritten note to be deciphered. The govt. doesn't assert the right to systematically read people's mail (even postcards); but they do so wrt electronic comms. I think we can safely state that almost all comm. is going to be electronic in the future. That's why this is important. This is yet another example of the govt. trying to trim back rights that the hoi polloi have enjoyed for a couple of centuries.
As to why this is important: you might have read the quote that six lines by any man's hand are enough to hang him.
Hence I'd guess that you only need a binary version of the control panel along with the list of seeds.
