If you live in Los Angeles or in the New York/New Jersey metro area and want an electric Mini Cooper pay attention. Starting today you can apply to be one of the 500 lucky people taking part in a year-long field trial (no, you can’t keep it afterwards) of the Mini E. That’s the good news. The less good news is that you’re going to have to pony up $850 per month (plus some up ...

A freakishly quiet moment on Istanbul's roads. Despite the difficulties involved in comparing gallons to liters and converting from one currency to another, the price of gas in our respective countries somehow seemed to come up frequently as a topic of conversation in my Turkish classes. And there was no easier way to get my fellow students--generally from European nations--and, particularly, my Turkish teacher riled up than to say how much

I have parent teacher conferences this week...yea, I know you probably do too. I am simultaneously dreading the late nights (just poke me in the eye now) but secretly enjoy talking to most of the parents. Also, this time of year is usually brilliant fodder for the 'ol blog and I know I have been letting you down as of late. So, I am waiting for tomorrow night with breath that is bated, and until ...

Type-Checking Zero Knowledge This paper presents the first type system for statically analyzing security protocols that are based on zero-knowledge proofs. We show how certain properties offered by zero-knowledge proofs can be characterized in terms of authorization policies and statically enforced by a type system. The analysis is modular and compositional, and provides security proofs for an unbounded number of protocol executions. We develop a new type-checker that conducts the analysis in a fully automated ...

Yesterday's post about taking 4% of principal as retirement income from the portfolio elicited a couple of opposing views which makes for a good debate.It is possible that this decade ends up being breakeven (or worse) for equities. While a ten year hitch with little to show is not unprecedented you figure most people have three to three and half decades to accumulate money. It seems like most people don't save much in their 20s ...

When I spend a whole day talking enthusiastically about mathematics, people come to the unfortunate conclusion that I enjoy mathematics. They would be closer to the mark if they said also that I don't enjoy mathematics purely for the sake of mathematics. You can extend this to other fields like phonology, linguistics, logic, languages, computer science, philosophy, poetry, metaphysics, and epistemology. There is a definite sense in which I don't like or enjoy any of ...
