@Adnan indeed it is, but remember that to make partner most spent 10+ years slogging their guts out in a really competitive env. and I know of several people I would really rate who (so far anyway) haven't made it that far.... getting partner in the big-4 is a v. high risk/high reward strategy
I have a backup of my important data in the cloud with a given size of several
gigs. To prevent snooping the data is inside a TrueCrypt container and everything
which will be transmitted is the TrueCrypt container (no hidden volume).
Because uploading several gigs with even a fast Internet conne...
@raz I'm cool with that concept, but that assumes a general misunderstanding. His stated misunderstanding is specifically with TrueCrypt's implementation, which is too specific
We are trying to troubleshoot his script, his TC volume, and his backup.
@Adnan I have not followed at all what you are talking about.
If this is about deduplication on encrypted files (i.e. noticing that two encrypted files are identical), then it suffices to make deterministic encryption.
For instance, use CBC encryption, with an IV computed as a HMAC on the plaintext.
If you use the same keys for CBC and for the HMAC, then you get the same ciphertext for the same plaintext.
@schroeder @raz ahahaha, okay that is not actually as random and coincidentally hysterical as I originally thought. southpark.cc.com/clips/103666/idea-balls Kudos, well done.
Kopi luwak, i.e. Vietnamese weasel coffee, is made from beans that have been consumed and excreted by civets. It can cost as much as $3000/lb, so few have probably tried it. This process doesn't seem incredibly sanitary. Is this coffee safe to drink? Do people contract diseases from drinking ...
Kopi luwak (Indonesian pronunciation: [ˈkopi ˈlu.aʔ]), or civet coffee, refers to the seeds of coffee berries once they have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The name is also used for marketing brewed coffee made from the beans.
Producers of the coffee beans argue that the process may improve coffee through two mechanisms, selection and digestion. Selection occurs if the civets choose to eat coffee berries containing better beans. Digestive mechanisms may improve the flavor profile of the coffee beans that have been eaten. The civet eats the berries...
I'm actually on the hunt for this coffee in Melbourne, being it's such a coffee-oriented city:
Where can I buy a cup of 'cat poo' coffee (Kopi Luwak) in Melbourne?, but while discussing it in the travel.SE chat room, we were wondering what it is that makes it worth drinking?
From Wiki and other ...
The Indonesian Kopi luwak AKA civet coffee is the world's most expensive coffee at $160 per pound.
Are there any testimonials, considering its premium price, that its taste even distinguishable compared to other premium beans?
I'm currently in Melbourne, a coffee-lover's paradise. As such, I'm quite keen to try the infamous 'cat poo' coffee (Kopi Luwak) in Melbourne, given that the skill of a Melbourne barista is likely to surpass mine, and should be able to brew a good cup.
To be clear - I don't want to buy the coff...

Is it kosher because they are still viewed as coffee beans or is it viewed as the product of a nonkosher animal (akin to a s...
1. differing functionality. E.g. split knowledge? dual control? Distribution? etc. 2. Crypto-specific aspects, which would totally be a @ThomasPornin / @CodesInChaos question.
