I have personal knowledge that it was possible in 2007. I don't keep abreast of developments in browser security that make them more secure: unlike, say, Thomas and the geniuses at Matasano, all I need to know is the worst possible consequence of whatever our wonderful outsourcing partners dreamed up this time. XSS was one step below server-side code execution on our severity scale.

[Edit: This was apparently fixed in 2009 in Firefox. http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2009/mfsa2009-05.ht... Again, that is just one vector -- I still think HttpOnly is likely insufficient.]
"There have been no convictions yet." Amazing.
Well, for the first two or three years of the problem, the solution will be to blacklist IPv6 in toto. If you're not "good enough" to have an IPv4 address to send mail from, then you lose.

I'm not saying this is perfect or endorsing it, I'm just saying that this is what is going to happen. It's not even an interesting problem until you have actual mail coming from IPv6-only addresses on a routine basis, and that happens well after the IPv6 switchover, which still hasn't happened.
I'm not even sure the carrier has the information. At least in countries where the iPhone is sold unlocked.

The UDID has nothing to do with the IMEI/IMSI which are both known by the carriers.
Sorry, it doesn't. The only publicly released game, his Biolab Disaster, loads an initial screen and just stops. This is on an iPhone 4, having cleared the safari cache and even restarting the phone. Not exactly impressed.
Thank you for the explanation.

OTOH, the comment by djhworld still confuses me. The bad outcome wouldn't be misogyny but stalking or something like that. "Misogynistic" implies it's directed against females.
It is because that the "best" apps for Linux distros are written with GTK the reason for KDE being much less mainstream than Gnome?
Wow. I switched to Firefox around the same time I switched a Mac for work, and just assumed the lack of print preview was a weird macOS thing.

This makes me happy.
I have a fitlet running a pygtk 4screen vlc showing me 3 news networks and a music stream on my 3rd monitor. I can click each one to mute/unmute, mousewheel up/down to change the relative volume, and the entire thing is compeltely separate from my

I can have 4 different sources on at the same time (music in the background - quiet, one of the news channels a bit louder if I'm waiting for something to happen, a corporate all-hands zoom call I'm half listening to on the main computer, and maybe a short video or meme, it's usually 2 or 3 though.

I don't use pip much as the one site I'd use it on (twitter) works hard to stop the video playing as you scroll down anyway.
They're quoting what he said, not what he wrote. It's a British news site, so using British spelling seems fine.

Just initial feedback from non technical users. Curiously technical users have expressed their interest in using it too for the potential time savings and their familiarity with text editors. It's an exploration at this point.
The recommended practice is multiple hidden volumes. "Oh no, you made me decrypt this volume that contains inappropriate photos!"
I always thought Jimmy Stewart was impressive. Not nearly the visceral hand to hand nature of others mentioned here, of course. He seems like a guy who made the most of his life wherever he happened to be. Learning George Bailey was a brigadier general was, well, kinda surprising.

// hey were the real news that was called fake news in a ridiculous/laughable sort of way. But it just doesn't jive.

You probably have heard of "Gell-Mann Amnesia" but in case not, it really explains a lot:

"You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. ... Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect... you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page ... and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read"

That's just happened to you - you read a story you happened to already know the ground truth on and it struck you as obviously wrong. If you had an equivalent background in other stories, you'd be seeing this kind of falseness everywhere.

I have examples too numerous to cite of matters I knew well (eg: companies/industries I worked in, wealthy people I happened to know, countries/cultures/conflicts I studied or experienced first hand) that were covered completely backwards in the Times and other media.

Like: good employers characterized as horrible. Military conflict response characterized as provocation. Meaning of speeches and essays characterized as reverse of what anyone who's hear/read them would actually conclude.

A century ago, Times had whitewashed Stalin in a way that anyone who knew Russia would have instantly recognized as false. So I doubt the times was ever not "Fake News" it's just that it was so much harder to see it back then when your newspaper was how you knew anything.

> If you're trying to cancel out a loud 100dB+

i dont think it's feasible to cancel out such loud noise using just ANC. A sealed, airtight headset (or those tight earplugs) would have to be used. If you're using ANC for such loud noises, you'd still hear the noise through your bones/face imho. For example, if a car beeped its horn at you while using ANC, i hear it.

ANC is merely for constant low background noise like airplane engine.

I never claimed it doesn't happen, it's trivial to see that it occasionally does. The OP seemed to be suggesting that it was rampant and widespread, which I have a very hard time believing. Especially to the level of outright fabrication, rather than sloppy work or presenting subsets of real data in a dishonest way.
I think the author is taking the totally wrong action. If he wants Wikipedia to change, he should become MORE involved, not less.

This one surprised me least of all. The issue with upgrading these systems to newer technology, especially on general purpose operating systems, is that they're far less reliable, precisely due to the fact that they are more powerful and flexible, and hence, more complex.

The first rule of critical systems is to reduce complexity, and their current systems probably found the sweet spot between useability and simplicity decades ago.

The guy using the IBM accounting machines though... Dear god man! It sounds like the museum would've handed him a new system on a platter, in exchange for his old system. Take the upgrade!
I don't really understand how it proves the point. I find the article not really proving many points.

When bike lanes are not separated they are only not separated because of a cost or space issue in Amsterdam. Not by design. I spend most of my days in Amsterdam, others in The Hague, and when I cycle I prefer to cycle on a bike lane. Drivers still tend to push you aside when there are no specific lanes.

The article, and many foreigners find the dutch system amazingly impressive, but for me, dutch, I still see a lot of room for improvement. Cars inside the city still annoy, cycling lanes are still ignored by parking cars.
I'm trying to figure out if you're joking or not. BTU = British Thermal Unit and is pretty much the standard measure used around the world when talking about energy use associated with heating.

Benchmark! That's how. Order the least amount of resources and then benchmark your app to see how well it's performing. If your goal is handle 100 req/s, then benchmark with that goal in mind. Your benchmark unit tests need to touch the whole stack (Ruby & SQL).

As for the 24-hrs idle time, run a periodic script that keeps it alive (by simulating a valid app action).

I'd say that suggesting there's a "penalty" at all implies a naive hardware setup[1].

Total system I/O is a finite resource, but this can be hard to reach if indexes are on separate spindles[2] from the data and each other. This can cost substantially more initially, but disappears at scale.

Perhaps, then, as for the OP's original topic, one mistake is not hiring someone who knows these performance strategies. Another is using an RDBMS that doesn't support them.

<< You can totally police misinformation in a fair means by requiring that it presents credible evidence of weight commensurate with the impact of what it argues, and explain to those who are policed in a transparent manner why and how they can appeal it.

If, and I do mean if, you can consistently define misinformation. The issue is that, not unlike porn, 'i know it, when i see it' approach to identification is not a great way to gather trust of people you want to impose that upon.
This may not be a popular opinion. I think suburbs have done more damage to U.S. culture than anything else in the last 70 years. I believe they breed isolation and decrease community cohesion in comparison to a well-developed urban neighborhood. They are virtually all similar with minimal regional variation. "Be an individual, in the same way as everyone else" would be a fitting satiric slogan.

My dream is to improve & develop new machine learning algorithms. Weather I'd do this as a researcher or through a private company doesn't really matter to me. It just seems to be a prerequisite to have done a PhD to most such positions I see ( Take Google Brain as an example).

Unfortunately, there aren't too many people/research in my interest area in my country, but I'll try to ask my classmates.
Thanks for your comment!
They say passwords were stolen. This must mean they are not properly hashing passwords with salts stored outside of the database.

It could also mean that the attacker was in a position to observe the plaintext supplied by the user after it was decrypted (from SSL) but before it was authenticated (with a password hash algorithm).

Or it could be that they're just not being too particular about the details, on the side of being overly conservative.

I would completely agree with you on the Set Top comment. Infact, do you even need a set-top box? I know TV manufacturers are now building units that are capable on connecting straight to the internet or have built in set-top box capabilities. Set-top boxes will not be needed in the future.

Sorry if what I wrote was unclear.

OES_texture_float is a current WebGL extension that is implemented by several browsers. The issue is that OES_texture_float does not specify readPixels support. As far as I can tell, even with native OpenGL ES 2, there is no extension that specifies readPixels functionality for floating point textures. I believe this is a bug in the OES_texture_float specification as binding a texture format to a texture engine is entirely type-level and no types are required after the resource is bound. If there is a hardware limitation, you're doing it wrong.

So the current state of support is: some browsers implement OES_texture_float and you can load floating point textures. Some browsers, when you have enabled OES_texture_float, also allow writing floating point textures. Unfortunately, the only thing you can do with a written floating point texture is re-read it in a later vertex (if you can get vertex texture fetch support which is still lacking for WebGL on Windows due to DirectX impedance mismatch) or fragment shader.

If you want to read back the results of your float computations, you have to pack them into 4 x 1 byte pixel color channels and then unpack them on the javascript side back into floats. Of course, when converting the GPU native floating point values into color channel integers, implementations "helpfully" clamp to [0..1] and then multiply by 255 (!) so that 0 -> 0 and 1 -> 255. This plays havoc with floating point precision as 255 is not exactly representable. Complicating matters further, ES2 and its corresponding GLSL have no provision for integer or bitwise operations and so the implementor is reduced to using floating point operations to pack floating point values into 4 [0..1]-values that then get molested into 4 byte arrays which can then be read back into Javascript which can then waste browser/CPU time rebuilding floating point values from pixel byte channels with accompanying (technologically unnecessary) numeric noise.

I've not seen any WebGL implementation running on the iPad and Apple won't say anything about it. If I had to guess, I'd say that WebGL is attractive to Apple in the HTML5 sense but not in protecting their native application advantage. The Steve will probably decree that native 3d apps have superior performance by virtue of not being written in a sloppy, GC'ed language and run in a giant sandbox. I don't think native iOS apps allow float texture read-back, either.

The real question is: Is WebGL's lowest-common denominator (phones) approach to 3d a bug or a feature? On the bug side, it's absurd that I can't read float values off of my desktop GPU in 2011. On the feature side, it means that even your iPhone 3G will be able to poorly execute and render a WebGL application at an unbearably low framerate!

"A flick (frame-tick) is a very small unit of time. It is 1/705600000 of a second, exactly.

1 flick = 1/705600000 second

This unit of time is the smallest time unit which is LARGER than a nanosecond, and can in integer quantities exactly represent a single frame duration for 24 Hz, 25 Hz, 30 Hz, 48 Hz, 50 Hz, 60 Hz, 90 Hz, 100 Hz, 120 Hz, and also 1/1000 divisions of each, as well as a single sample duration for 8 kHz, 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, and 192kHz, as well as the NTSC frame durations for 24 (1000/1001) Hz, 30 * (1000/1001) Hz, 60 * (1000/1001) Hz, and 120 * (1000/1001) Hz.*

That above was one hell of a run-on sentence, but it's strictly and completely correct in its description of the unit.

This makes flicks suitable for use via std::chrono::duration and std::ratio for doing timing work against the system high resolution clock, which is in nanoseconds, but doesn't get slightly out of sync when doing common frame rates."

Boeing didn't even test their 787 aircraft for integer overflows, and that's in a safety-critical environment, so I'm not sure I'd expect SSD vendors to be any better.

Not that throwing an exception on integer overflow is any better, unless you catch the exception. The classic example here is the Ariane 5 failure:

Some of those type of speeches are why at least one prominent pharma executive is in jail. Bribes were paid to doctors as "speaking fees".

I think this deserves an obligatory "if you aren't paying for the product, you are the product." It seems to always turn out that way. After all, these projects are popular because they are good, and they are good because the developer or developers commit the time to develop, test, and support these projects. Naturally, there has to be a way to make money in order to keep these projects going, hence the Dice move. I'm not saying I agree with it, but I think it's reasonable. In other words, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

The speed of the magnetometer lines have always been gated by the hand-luggage x-ray machine, in my experience; usually a magnetometer arch is shared by two lines. To hear some people claim that these things will speed up the lines is pretty ludicrous, especially considering that you need to take more stuff out of your pockets.

And then there's the wonderful cost implications. The machines are already 20x more expensive than the magnetometer arches, as I understand it, so the total cost to make up the numbers (to get the speed back through parallelism) could be 40x or more, tens of millions for every decent-sized checkpoint.
I would like to see the preference of other HNers and their arguments based only on that sample of the language.
