- Button Color Test: Red beats Green – DIY Marketing Blog
"A question we hear a lot at Performable is: “Which button color converts best?” As design teams publish and test landing pages they inevitably get around to choosing a button color for their page. And given that small details can make big differences in conversion, it makes sense to consider the color of the button to be pressed. [...] Fortunately button color is extremely easy to test."

Jeepers Kazimovitch, cryptography is mind-bendingly complicated, and mind-bendingly thrilling. Here are the plans for an encryption system safe from those who might attempt to beat the keys out of the owner. "Ordinarily best strategy for the rubber-hose wielder is to keep on beating keys out of (let us say, Alice) indefinitely till there are no keys left. However, and importantly, in Rubberhose, *Alice* can never prove that she has handed over the last key. As Alice hands over more and more keys, her attackers can make observations like "the keys Alice has divulged correspond to 85% of the bits". However at no point can her attackers prove that the remaining 15% don't simply pertain to unallocated space, and at no point can Alice, even if she wants to, divulge keys to 100% of the bits, in order to bring the un-divulged portion down to 0%."
