Moxie Marlinspike >> About This site is a partial collection of projects I've worked on, stories I've written down, and software I've published. In the past, I've worked as a software engineer, hacker, sailor, captain, and shipwright. I used to travel a lot; I've hopped freight trains across the US from coast-to-coast a bunch of times, have gotten some really great and some really terrible rides hitchhiking all across America, and have sailed a few near-derelict sailboats as far as I could take them. I currently live in San Francisco. I like computer security and software development, particularly in the areas of secure protocols, cryptography, privacy, and anonymity.

And as you would expect for a product that appeals to everyone from professional designers to educators to hobbyists, there's a wide array of 3D printers that vary wildly in both features and price tags. Based on our extensive evaluations and hours of testing of more than a dozen models in different price ranges, our top overall pick for those on a budget is the XYZ da Vinci Mini ($270), as its auto-calibration features are helpful to novices and it produces good prints at decent speeds. (If you want to save a little money, consider the da Vinci miniMaker, which is selling for $45 less than the Mini on Amazon, but is essentially the same printer.

UNREDACTED The information commissioners must decide whether the 2010 massacre of 72 migrants was a grave violation of human rights. Information commissioners must determine whether migrant killings violated human rights Judge says right to information is a “human right” that supersedes “disproportional” application of exemption pertaining to legal investigations This post was co-authored by Michael Evans and Jesse Franzblau from Migration Declassified and was also published in Spanish by Animal Politico in Mexico. In a case that with important ramifications both for access to information and for human rights investigations in Mexico, a federal judge declared last week that the country’s information commissioners can and should determine whether an infamous 2010 massacre of 72 migrants in Tamaulipas state by alleged agents of the Zetas drug cartel might constitute a grave violation of human rights under established international legal norms.

In Flight As we push back from our gate at Heathrow Airport we light the Boeing 747’s engines in pairs, starting with those under the starboard wing. A sudden hush falls in the cockpit as the air flow for the air-conditioning units is diverted. It’s this, air alone, that begins to spin the enormous techno-petals of the fans, faster and faster, until fuel and fire are added, and each engine wakes with a low rumble that grows to a smooth, unmistakable roar. We begin to taxi. In legal terms, a journey begins when “an aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight.” In aircraft manuals, elaborate charts that recall da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man” illustrate the angles and distances that the extremities of the plane sweep through as we maneuver on the ground.

Air France Low Cost Long-haul Well I have found the service on AF to be quite good, I don't really understand why some feel obliged to slag off their own flag carrier, especially as in the case of AF such a treatment isn't deserved. AF isn't on the road to bankruptcy, let's not be silly. It does need to keep up with the market and deliver more sustainable profits in the long run.

f-35-helmet-costs-400000-4-times-predecessor When the joint strike fighter, the F-35 Lightning II, finally takes to the skies on its first official mission, it will be one of the most advanced and one of the most expensive planes ever. And the pilots flying the aircraft will be wearing the most advanced and most expensive helmet ever. The helmet will give pilots quicker access to the information they need to see and has special cameras to "see" through the bottom of the plane.

A4A Passenger Airline Cost Index (PACI) A4A produces the U.S. Passenger Airline Cost Index (PACI) to monitor trends in the cost of inputs (e.g., labor, fuel, food, aircraft ownership, airport landing fees, insurance, utilities, interest) to the provision of air service over time. The various indices also facilitate comparisons among the components themselves and between airline costs and broader economic indicators.
