This is, to a large extent, scaremongering. While there are some valid points made in the article, the article fails to differentiate between security problems that can be exploite…

We wouldn't need to do this. One computer would suffice to generate primes at a pace making cracking computation infeasible. Though, even if we switch primes every few seconds, if …

The problem is that there needs to be an agreed upon key that each of the parties knows before-hand. But yes, there are definitely viable ways to generate new ones or implement new…

Also, a small sum of a billion dollars may be enough to convince a thousand residents of an island to leave.

At this point I feel bad for Scott Aaronson. Everytime a crackpot paper comes out (and I'm 97% convinced at this point this is one of them) he takes the time to refute it on his bl…

This isn't exactly Deep Dream's equivalent for video. It takes frames individually (smushing them together), rather than having a unified neural network that takes the entire video…

I wouldn't have much hope that its going to be addressed. I've been following another kickstarter scam, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/181239886/jaesa/descrip... , promising …

That idea, if extended, could be rather entertaining. "White House Gov Account Hacked, Please Help"

Wait, do they track who says what themselves? https://twitter.com/whispererly/status/615513760107732996

So, "a paper" and "a gigantic ostrich juggling American Space Kangaroo"?

Bonus points: What if only one of them gets a coin to flip and then they must both come to an agreement on what the result was. They can talk but the NSA overhears everything they …

I've met him a few times and I've seen him speak. He definitely seems to be the kind of change we need.

The end result of this is that I'm impressed with Virgin Media's quick responses on twitter.

This is really really fine for apple to do as they are just creating an option for a highly curated app store. I mean, if they were attempting to criminalize loading 3rd party apps…

I upvoted this and now I feel ashamed. This article has a provocative title but in the end all it does is try to make a dramatic situation where there is none. I will be reading fu…

All of these systems are security by obscurity. Just suggesting them on a blog ruins them. Watermarking is not truly possible with current technology, which means you can't give so…

Standardizing a package manager across platforms is nice and making homebrew for linux does this without just creating another package manager to support packages.

I think rather than have a surprise objective they should remove the prizes, intense competition, and networking. Hackathons should be about coding something cool, not winning, net…

Despite the optimistic tone in this article hackathons have definite problems. They have a contradiction between their party atmosphere and their high stakes. While they strive to …
