I too found the presentation much more interesting. The pauses in between each break/slide just gave me time to take in the significance. I think it was very appropriate here, and I'm glad I was introduced to this method of presentation. I think I'll use it myself some time.

What is Figma? Google search turns up nothing.

TECHNOLOGY. POLITICS. MONEY. ENERGY. SCIENCE. DATA.

Don't you see? Finding the coin is easy. Changing the sand to glass and finding the coin is trivial.

Well, the issue I'm alluding to here is the issue of avoiding collisions. Even the password generator will not create the same long random passwords precisely because they're random and long... So even with a password generator these are still long random passwords that no user would create on their own and therefore do not collide with the honeyword passwords.

Also, the combination of password generator and honeyword is actually even more secure than either one; in a "Greater than the sum of its parts" kind of way.

This is such a simple, yet powerful idea. What an elegant way to add another layer of security to a system. It's very easy to generate long random passwords that no user would create on their own. Then to populate the database with a large number of these phony passwords. There would be a small hit based on the amount of space the honeyword passwords occupy. However, the amount is manageable, and the benefits are well worth it.

What a coincidence that the author of this article is the founder of "a company that automates taxes for small & mid-size businesses." ( the quote comes directly from his Forbes profile).

To me there is no doubt that the article was published intentionally and solely for the purpose of promoting his business and the problems it is trying to address.

Wait a second.. is Ben Franklin claiming that he has discovered that the sun shines as soon as it rises?

Heh. I would've loved to see the article: 'Google Trolls Injured Russians with Doodle'

Did anyone else read this title as: 'Scheduling morning meals with Python and Celery'?

This is such a progressive step. I love to see this sort of initiative. It makes it very viable for any young students looking to try and get a step ahead. I'm actually going to send the algebra course to my younger brother now.

2.75+ million dollars in attorneys' fees defending the domain.

Anybody know if it is possible to attach object sensors to the board? I'd like to program it to detect and fly around obstacles autonomously.

Yea, I had to go lookup what a cervix is because that didn't sound right...

Down voting is an option?

Why not place a reddit button on the page with a link to the submission?

Thanks for this post.

I believe this is a repost.

I had to upgrade to ruby 1.9 in order to run it. Very beautiful, btw.

Entangled particles communicate instantaneously through space. That is to say, communication faster than the speed of light. This was actually one of the reasons that Einstein did not want to accept quantum theory. In fact, he proposed quantum entanglement as an argument against the validity of quantum theory. According to quantum theory, transfer of information faster than the speed of light should be possible (via quantum entanglement). Therefore, quantum theory was incorrect/incomplete- that was Einstein's reasoning.

There would still have to be an entanglement step. The photons need to be coupled. This is currently accomplished by a laser across long distances. I suppose that in this sense there is a latency at the speed of light to add new particles. But once the photons have been entangled they can communicate instantaneously.

Has anyone designed a teapot to functionally implement this protocol?

Here I was thinking frissoning to music was completely common. Except I never really stopped to wonder whether there was a word for that.

This is awesome, but the bill will be on the House floor tomorrow.

Ilya was an incredible person. His heart was truly driven by bringing about positive change in this world. Diaspora was only the beginning.

He was genuinely one of the kindest people I've ever met. Along with that, one of the most driven and intelligent peers I've ever encountered. Any time I ever had a chance to converse with him, it was always a very pleasant experience. He was someone I felt I had truly connected with. I only wish I could tell him that now.

Take care buddy. Thank you for enlightening me.

Stanford rocks! The timing of this is so convenient. I started watching the 2009 lectures from Professor Ng's Machine Learning class just last week.
