Another good way store passwords is to memorize a simple algorithm based on the topic of your password.

Example:
- last 3 letters
- a static symbol (let's use %)
- @ if it's online / & if it's not
- 3rd 1st 4th letter of topic in Capital-lower-Capital format
- follow with a short string to increase length and stump bruteforces (lets use gold158)

So my password for hackernews would be:
- ews
- %
- @
- ChK
- gold158

ews%@ChKgold158

I'm no security expert, but that seems to be pretty secure and it will be different for each password. You won't ever be in trouble if you forget a password and it doesn't require you to carry around written passwords. If you scramble it a little better than I did in my example, it will look random and no one will try to "reverse engineer" your algorithm. (So when someone needs your password temporarily, you can tell them)
The type of property is not immaterial. A very straightforward bit of intellectual wankery gets you to that point: you own Bingo Card Creator; there is a national Bingo emergency; eminent domain is employed; the US Government pays you $15MM USD. Patrick's a principled guy but I say this as one of his friends that principle is for sale for $15MM.

So now we're just haggling over the price.

Given that we are, it is inherently less fair for seize something for a which a real market value can't be determined.

When you evoke seizure of a software company, you're evoking the image in your mind of a government attempting to value your company. But the market famously doesn't know how to value small businesses. You know you're not getting anything resembling what it's worth.

When you seize a piece of commercial real estate in Manhattan, you can tell me all you want about how shady the NYC CRE market is, but there is a relatively liquid market for NYC CRE. It is less unfair to seize commercial real estate, corporate bonds, t-bills, or proven mineral deposits than it is to seize a business.

But. And please read this next sentence carefully. I agree with you about Columbia. I think this is an abuse of eminent domain.

(Why - oh - why is Thomas talking about this then? Because it's so - f'ing - much - more - interesting than yet another long rant about how the government is evil and I'm ashamed of my country and the weather in December is awful and God really needs to get on top of fixing that).
um, the business model I recommend is building products that solve real problems and charging people a fair price to use it.

Testing ideas has nothing to do with determining a business model. Not sure how this relates to WePay's ethics or whether it makes us money or not. Bizarre.
If you read what I wrote, I said, "Maybe pefectly nice dogs". With mine and other peoples kids I really didn't want to find out, especially since their owner was nowhere in sight.

And we've had several incidents of pitbull attacks in this area. Here's a useful site:
http://www.dogsbite.org/dangerous-dogs.htm

Last thing I'd want to tell a parent is, "You child was attacked... sure I saw the pitbulls, but I just assumed they were friendly, I mean, JanezStupar has never seen a vicious one before".
Huh... yes it is. They added it in 5.3, silly me.
In some sense ICANN is just a front for the US Department of Commerce with a little VeriSign regulatory capture mixed in.
My respect for the YC increasing with each passing batch. I was under the impression that its only possible to come with some software apps for such small investments (in terms of money) - But YC is showing the world that there are no boundaries and no limits on what one could come up with .
I only wish if someone can replicate YC to our Healthcare industry.
upvoted and appreciated. thanks for the insight.
This will lead to ipv6-only services pretty soon. As the cost of ipv4 space gets higher and higher you'll see things like VPSes and cloud hosting stop offering a free IP with their services, and eventually businesses will stop using it too.
What does the 1GB / 50 GB / 500 GB mean? Is that referring to storage capacity or bandwidth?

What if I use IMGZ to offload all the bandwidth-guzzling high-res images of my highly frequented website? Will IMGZ just serve up the image given a URL or also some stuff around it?

What if I have other large files that I'd like to offload. Just change the extension to PNG and I can host this on IMGZ?
I know right, I think he has a really solid network. Yet, all the interviews he set up required tech screens and seemed random. Only other info is that his first job was at Comcast of all places.
I think image analysis would work. I've noticed that couples tend to have similar facial features and expressions.

Blind enablement also allows easier webscraping, which is what I think Google is more worried about.

It has solutions, like Google voicing out the contents, instead of doing a webpage that is so scrappable that screenreaders can parse it.
It's a great city. But there's lots not to like about living in a big city. I find NYC almost incredibly oppressive and confining and crazymaking, but I don't wonder why people love it; I also get why people move out to farms in Minnesota, even though I'd never do that myself.

But you're not allowed to say that "the wind" is why you don't like Chicago.

(Fair warning, I have our city's flag inked on my arm, so I may be a booster).
I think the problem is that you need to either make the JWT have a short expiration or engineer a way to invalidate them before the expiration if the need to do arises.

From what I can tell most people implement a blacklist of invalid tokens that need to be expired early. This isn't exactly the same as a traditional sessions table since it turns the problem on its head. You're likely to have a lower number of early expired JWTs than valid sessions.

The other way you might be able to solve this is to generate a per-user JWT key and use that to sign the JWT or embed that in the JWT. When you need to force a log out, just regenerate that value for that user.
I like the phrasing "Mergeable Data" over CRDTs (I've been on the CRDT bandwagon for years now, with https://github.com/amark/gun ). Probably worth it as an industry of we shift language to "Mergeable".
i have a deep respect for sales and marketing people, as they can do things that i cant do (do smalltalk, sell bullshit and they actually like talking to people more than pushing to github)

if you want to have a successful company, start collecting their cards, if you dont need them now, you will do later.

said that: beware of talkers, if they do not yet have or had at least one (side) business then they do not have a clue.
Indeed they are. But their generation (via payout from successful block creation) slows exponentially.

So unless we find every solution to the hash problem, which essentially can't be done, statistically speaking, the system will never stop producing some bitcoins.
Yes, I don't think the everything-as-a-file-manager concept is where it will go. The same subject is discussed on the ObjectBrowser page, and that concept is very much in line with what I came up with separately. The basic idea being that the user interacts directly with (mostly data) objects, and new functionality is added by adding commands that do something involving one or more objects. Basically along the lines of unix piping, but not restricted to working on plaintext only. Tabs are really a bit of a kludge, I think a proper Zoomable Interface with automatic layout is the best choice as far as the UI goes.
at least you can now change date without Flash and pie charts are simply PNGs.
disclaimer: I've never written a line of Perl.

When I look at the programming world, my primary instinct is that if something is popular, then there must be something good about it. Take JavaScript. In spite of its limitations as a language (the worst of which is not having a canonical OOP style) there is no easier way to create a single GUI for 3 platforms, as JS. I could make similar comments about Python and C++.

I don't really understand the point of view that using [old language] is an indication of really knowing how to program. Apart from some minor details, all imperative and OOP languages are fundamentally the same.
Not to mention that you can come up with some interesting ideas, art and even inventions when facing such uncertainty -- stuff that is lost otherwise.
I'm so glad this isn't just me.
Indeed, one perspective on using GTM is as another avenue to customizing websites without using a developer.
Took a look at the New Richland Montana one - they are charging you 25,000 for the cost of putting in roads and such. So A: not off grid. and B: not free. Not sure how well researched the article is.
It's funny because the high-level introductions to C I would read as a kid before I really knew much about computing would almost always start out by explaining that one of the biggest strengths of C was its portability, and how it allowed you to write the same code that worked on every platform. Of course I came to learn that's true only in a sense that has no connection to practical reality, this looks like an exception.
It sounds like you aren't familiar with ice driving.

The worst pileup in Texas occurred on one side of an arched overpass. Drivers coming from one direction couldn't see the pileup forming at the bottom until they were already coming down. At such a velocity and slope, there was no recourse. This is in spite of the long distance that remained to the start of the pileup.

For context, ice accumulates on bridges before the rest of the highway.
Most commonly, price you see on ticker quotes is the price the stock last traded at; i.e., the last price at which a buyer and seller exchange money for equity.
While you cannot attribute every single death to the Trump administration, it remains true that in the most critical time period of the virus emerging, they were actively hostile to taking the necessary actions. They continued to be actively hostile to scientific consensus about the virus until removed from power.

The administration was overtly spreading misinformation and speaking against straight up correct medical advice. They made overt statements in national media that assistance vs the virus would be treated as a quid pro quo for political loyalty. They threatened governors that criticized the administration with denial of federal resources in a (&()^) epidemic. You cannot whitewash the blood on their hands.

It was craven politics born of an early idea that the virus would be worst in left leaning coastal cities, and hence would help Trump for re-election. Obviously a virus doesn't give a crap about political parties, so it didn't go that way.

It's entirely reasonable to believe that the number of covid deaths in the US would have been an order of magnitude less with more sober decision making.
In the web in fact they also declare ads, that's why they have a little "Ad" besides their entry on Google Search or on Google Adsense (and FB? I don't use FB anymore but IIRC also there). Not sure if this is actually regulated, or comes from the "better ads" the Adblock industry created, or both.
Not in prod, but I do occasionally use the community version.
I would guess because you can actually make money with this capture technique and reduce emissions - planting a tree for the sake of reducing emissions is nice but it doesn’t make money and therefor isn’t a market based solution
Strikes me as another way broadcast/studio media (and associated formats) escapes scrutiny and regulation directed at internet. As the influencer says at the end of the video, they should play by the same rules.

Is there a text equivalent of this video? A bunch of sources are listed under the video, but none is an overview.
That wouldn't be good if they're targeting battery-powered devices, because you usually don't want to turn on extra cores there. Mobile programs can actually go faster if you make them single-threaded - either the device doesn't have more cores available to run your extra threads, or your process isn't high-priority enough to spend more power on.
We don't have vaccines thanks to politicians making mass production of vaccines a top national priority, we have them despite politicians, thanks to private companies and basic research done on universities.

Maybe your specific country handled things around covid great, but not the place I come from, not its neighbors, not the place I live in currently, and not its current neighbors (covered some 15 european states by this in east & west/south).

Money spent on vaccine infrastructure would be absolutely nothing, especially when pooled by few/many states together, compared to havoc covid is wreaking on economies and still will in incoming months, no way to avoid it. Plus the small benefit of actually saving many lives should also hold some, not only political capital.
Of course people changed their behavior because of Covid models, that's the fucking point. The modelling wasn't wrong it was just predicting what would happen if people didn't follow any precautions, in order to work what precautions were necessary.
So the whole project that I can find documentation for seems to be about soldering together a couple stepper drivers (rather than just using a scrap 3d printer controller which everyone has sitting around) and a ring light, where's the photogrammetry workflow part?
I see, sounds like GM's financials are in good shape. I hope that helps them in 14 years when they are no longer making ICE cars that those dealerships make all their profits off of from maintenance.

The IRS doesn’t ‘approve’ anything by accepting your tax return.

They accept your statement as a fair representation.

They can always go back and change things if you made a misrepresentation.

Typically in the US both individuals and businesses are expected to keep records for 7 years, in case the IRS wants to check things.
Yeah, the surface line seems to have quite-acceptable trackpads. I have an SP4, and the keyboard-cover's is... a bit strange to the touch (highly textured), but works reliably.

Unlike so many other brands. The vast majority I've used have been an endless stream of frustration and flakiness.
Well, I'm glad I could provide you some entertainment!

> Personally, I think the burden of proof goes the other way.

Well, it's not exactly a brand new experiment, we already know what happens when you have a deflationary store of value alongside fiat currency, and we see that in Gold today. The concept isn't strictly unheard of. I think what's debatable is if the last 70 or so years of gold alongside fiat currencies is sufficient enough information for us to conclude that having things like gold and gold-like assets won't be disastrous to a financial system.

> so far mainly useful for scams, ransomware, market manipulation, money laundering, and other kinds of light financial crime. (Plus speculation of course, but there were plenty of options for that before.)

This is true of paper cash, too. There’s a common saying that if cash were invented today, it would be illegal, since it’s hard for the government to track and they wouldn’t like it, which I find amusingly true. The preponderance of bad people using a tool doesn't immediately render the tool itself bad.

Bitcoin (and crypto) has been around for only 12 years now. Is it perfect? No absolutely not, there are a ton of kinks that need to be ironed out. Costs and speed need to be improved (probably through L2 protocols), we need to find ways to reduce energy consumption and use green energy as much as possible, we need to make sure that the money flowing into schemes like Tether is legitimate. I think the proponents all know that there is still lots of work to be done, and it feels like the detractors think that the adherents don't know that.

What's especially entertaining to me, personally, is that I have no horse in this race; I don't work with or for any crypto institutions and I hold a tiny amount of play BTC/ETH just for curiosity's sake. I am neither a proponent nor a detractor. But the sheer amount of misinformation and strawmen arguments leveled against BTC has has pushed me to seek out the strongest possible arguments in favor of BTC, so thanks for that.
Depending on the size of the average transaction, that $0.30 could move the fee (taken as a percentage) into that bracket. Possibly kickstarter is just being a bit loose with the phrasing here, and possibly they're under a enterprise agreement with a different fee structure (they are going to do $1billion+ a year, so that wouldn't be a complete surprise).
Yeah but not everyone would be able to/interested in using a flash cart+pocket NES. Nintendo wanted a piece of the action, and probably a lot of people would be happy to buy a Nintendo approved version of those games.
Me too. I would fully expect the JIT compiler to remove this call unless it's more complicated than it sounds. I don't think this is a real fix.

I work on IBM's JIT compiler. We had to do something similar to fix this problem in DirectByteBuffer a few years ago, by adding a call to a magic method called keepAlive. To make this work, we had to teach the JIT to handle this method specially, or else it would have ripped it out, and the fix would have had no effect.

[These are my personal opinions, not those of my employer.]
"Under" makes it a lot harder for a cat to unspool the entire roll.
> finalizers typically defeat escape analysis

Why is that? I would have thought they would work really well together - if an object such as a file stream doesn't escape you could inline and run the finaliser after the last use of the object goes out of scope.

Or do you mean they defeat current implementations of escape analysis?
What happens when providing those things to another country means denying them to your own country?
The same can be said for a wide range of criminal activities covered by the news.
I'm not sure how you can claim "reflexes that involve two or three neurons" are state of the art or that OpenWorm "can't seem to get past preliminary phases". Neither http://www.openworm.org/science.html nor http://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligenc... look like a preliminary phase to me. That's a system of more than 300 neurons, fully mapped, simulated and working, both virtually and hooked up to real sensors and actuators.
That doesn't look anything like the attack on GitHub. His server buckled from a couple of thousand requests because his webserver was misconfigured. GitHub probably handles an order of magnitude more requests on any normal day.
"would not recommend python to blind people."

Kudos to you for undertaking this task. I think a lot of folks would have simply not used their devices for 48 hours rather than learn the assistive tech.

That said, please don't fall into the trap of assuming that your experience is definitive, and of recommending/not recommending things to those of us who may be blind for our entire lives based on your 48 hours of experience. Case in point, I know a number of blind Python developers. I myself did a lot of Python during college, back when Zope was huge and Plone didn't exist. It's no more or less difficult than any other high-level language. Just about every screen reader I've used has the ability to speak line indentation (I.e. "8 spaces def fn(...") and this makes tracking scope easy. Holding a function in your head based on hearing it spoken is a skill that improves with practice. I've coded to varying degrees in every language you've listed, and while some of them do have their unique accessibility challenges (Haskell in particular I find dense because "f . g $ h i" packs a lot of meaning into something with little to break it up) I've learned to audit orally parse them over time.

FWIW, as a blind person, I imagine that coordinating the motion of a 2-ton block of metal and glass, down a strip of asphalt surrounded by a number of other chunks of metal and glass, moving as fast as baseballs and prone to factors like weather and surface conditions,, is a very fragile process that terrifies the hell out of me if I really think about it for any amount of time. I wouldn't not recommend driving to sighted folks just because I can't imagine how it routinely gets solved, though. :)
Yeah i am totally with you. AI can mean linear regressions and often does.

"look Ma i'm writing my own AI algorithm!!!"
...
"writes linear regression by hand in python"
It's not about performance. Unary numbers are extremely cumbersome and confusing for proofs, because people are used to working with integers using arithmetic, not pattern matching. "x + 5" is infinitely better than "Succ(Succ(Succ(Succ(Succ(x)))))“. I suspect that dependently-typed languages will get at least a 50% boost in mindshare once they ditch the unary and rewrite the tutorials with regular numbers.
I think this runs deeper than an “MBA vs Engineer” perspective. Having worked in the industry but no direct knowledge of how this project was run (outside of what’s been reported in the news) here my take:

If I were a betting person, my guess is they have created a culture of “schedule first”. Other orgs managed by engineers have been chastised for this in the past (looking at you, NASA). The problem is the risk/reward is asymmetrical managing these projects. Even though the severity can be extremely high, the probabilities of an error of this magnitude tend to be very small. This creates an incentive for ambitious souls to be aggressive and continually role the dice to meet schedule. As a former manager once told me when I was in a safety role, “you don’t want to get a reputation for slowing things down.”

To oversimplify things, say there’s a 1% chance any project can end in disaster. You can literally create an entire career ignoring that risk and still look like a star. Probability is on the individuals side. Meanwhile, the manager pushing to do things the right way to minimize that risk almost certainly will bear a higher cost/schedule burden. But in aggregate, that probability will catch up to the organization.

What makes me think this? There’s ample reporting Boeing didn’t follow their own procedures because they didn’t want to delay. Hazard analysis documentation wasn’t reflective of the design because the paperwork wasn’t getting updated. Their didn’t follow their own procedures regarding redundancy in design of items identified in the HA. I suspect they knew this was wrong which is why they obfuscated details in the investigation.

Culture matters, irrespective of academic degrees.
Hang on, the performance of playing static video content was not good enough? (and worse than dynamically rendered game art?)

You mean a single - full screen video, or videos inside the 3D content?
I can't get myself to pay for services like YNAB or mvelopes.com

I could see someone wanting to pay for a year or two until they've established the habit of disciplined saving. But to perpetually pay a service to present a (useful) facade over your money doesn't seem right if it's not also instilling habits in you that don't depend on software.
Thank you so much! You helped produce an amazing product that really helps people.
Even if "runs in the browser" is a hard requirement, surely there are options like Dart that don't have as many horrible quirks and edge cases - quirks that are probably no trouble for an experienced developer, but can be very confusing to a newcomer - as Javascript does?
I use emacs with evil, it gives you a fully functional vim emulator inside emacs. Since vim is the best text editor and emacs is the best OS, it's perfect!
I am not big on cryptocurrency. Look how the price of these "currencies" fluctuate like crazy, because people buy and treat it like an investment. What is the actual current practical utility of cryptocurrency except for buying/selling illegal things online? People are so horny to get in on the next computer/iphone/etc that they forget that new ideas can fail.
