I remember this too. When sendgrid was ddosed, as a company that entirely depended on sendgrid to send mails (I had joined recently), we were affected too. Since then, we run postfix and use multiple email providers behind it, but ironic how a tweet affected so many people.
Its not strange, most of the people involved are core members of both projects. Its the same project, really. Its just that iojs actually has new releases, and node doesn't anymore.
Yes I know, I need to add `s/anymore/yet`. But the statement is pretty much accurate. Its been almost 2 years since 0.11.0 was released and 0.12 is nowhere in sight.
Poor people in the US don't have credit cards. They don't even generally have bank accounts, but enough of them do that I ignored that fact for the sake of discussion.
No, this is wrong. The real tragedy is that poor people do have credit cards. The credit card system overwhelmingly favors those at the top -- people who automatically pay off their balances each month and enjoy 30-day interest free loans the rest of the time, versus people at the bottom who have a perpetual negative balance on their cards and who pay exorbitant interest rates that would be illegal in a civilized country.
Are you sure about this? I agree homeless people don't have credit cards, but I see the poorest people still have (multiple) credit cards. Maybe I'm not looking at the right places in the US?
Indian govt websites have a pathetic sense of security. One prominent consumer facing website with logins and company data has a certificate issued to "Mohan Babu" (equivalent to John Doe) and expired 5 years back! I guess that's somewhat better than the other Indian govt websites that have no SSL at all!
A majority of educated Indians see Baba Ramdev as crook. A self-styled guru curing cancer with Yoga and whatnot. So yalogin's response may not link to hard evidence but just because Ramdev can get behind a cause does not mean majority of Indians believe in it.
EDIT: If anything - if you take intersection of salaried Middle class and Baba ramdev's followers, you will be left with a small set. I am not saying Bab ramdev does not have a large following, but in a country where literacy is 72% (with number going lower in north india, where majority of Baba ramdev's followers are), it is hard to argue that middleclass supports this man's viewpoints.
You should also run logwatch - it will show you all the attempts that keep happening on any public servers running ssh.
I once had to look at a box compromised, which was then used to brute force other servers, and it contained a file with 100-200 passwords for other hosts it brute-forced.
We support unsend at anytime. We technically could also support edit at anytime, even after open, but we do not because we believe editing after open serves no legitimate purpose - just manipulation. It doesn’t even seem fun to us. Thanks for commenting.
quantom factorization, hilbert spaces, fourier transforms and error correcting codes, all of these would be found in any quantum mechanics 101 course, definitely far from unrelated.
I'm not sure I agree with this, after skimming the paper. For instance, the author does not seem to be using terms like quantum factorization in the usual way (In the sense of a problem tackled by Shor's algorithm).
I've only glanced at the paper, but it looks to me as if he's using it in another perfectly usual way, namely referring to situations where the wavefunction and/or the Hilbert space it lives in can be written exactly or approximately as a product over simpler things. There's nothing wrong with that.
