So, there's a pattern I'm noticing again and again. Whenever a startup announces a new secure communication product, extremely knowledgeable and respected people in our community write posts talking about the (awful) mistakes they've made.

In the wake of the Snowden revelations, its incredibly important that we bootstrap a usable new generation of software with security at its core. But I'm worried that lots of people will be afraid to make security a core feature of their product because of the bad press they'll get if they do it a little bit wrong. Frankly the security community does not have a history of making systems that my mum can use. We really need an army of software engineers to work on fixing this problem and I don't think blog posts like this are helping. (Notable exception is Textsecure).

In this case, as I understood the press release:

- The QR code is used to initialize a direct (encrypted) bluetooth / wifi direct connection. Taking a picture of the QR code isn't enough to get the one-time pad.

- Cameras on modern mobile phones should be able to generate more than enough entropy (even if this isn't happening yet).

But there is no discussion of these points so far. Everybody is just piling hate on the product for its failings. We need to be better than that if we want a secure app ecosystem.
Of course is $50M exit a lot better than a failure.

My point was: if $50M is your maximum potential - if everything goes perfect - it'd be pretty hard to get some interest from VCs.

For their math to work out, they need at least the potential for an exit a few orders of magnitude more than their investment. If VC rounds start at $1M, a max potential of $50M will not be taken into consideration so easily ?
You misunderstand completely. Of course small random projects like flappy-bird-in-cobol may benefit from a migration. I'm talking about well established projects.

Also, the metrics you propose are quite meaningless. There are contributions that actually waste core developer's time but are grudgingly accepted either for political reasons or to shut up the proponent.

These kinds of contributions are certain to increase by a migration to GitHub.
You have to be insane to be a jew get into a territory that is governed by organisation that basically has "kill all jews" in it's charter.
> Your environment is what you make of it.

Alternatively, maybe different people genuinely prefer different environments. You appear to be an extreme extrovert, so it's no great surprise that you enjoy living in a metropolis. Other people aren't, and don't.
they haven't actually been charged with hacking, just the laundering. the complaint could be amended after investigation and the potential sentence would go up.
You should just make it detect a radar when it notices any hard acceleration. :P
Really interesting research, but man, if you really, really have to worry about premature optimization for your web app, I'd start with the usual bottlenecks first - i.e. anything that involves disk IO and/or processor work, such as databases and mathematical calculations.

Unless you are serving static content only (in which case you are hardly creating an "app"), the milliseconds you might save with TCP-level optimizations are peanuts in comparison to the multiple seconds your database and computations will be requiring.
Existence of cellphone and google turns so many plots of even pre-1995 movies void.

Not only sci-fi, all of them - romances, dramas, action movies - it's very common to build drama by showing people doing something wrong because the other person can't tell them they are mistaken, or because they can't remember something and have to go to library or ask friend/old monk/whatever.

It's completely different world we're living, despite no hoverboards.
What frequency ranges do you mean? Digitally, you can feed the output very-close-to 0 Hz signals. Without a high-pass filter, this essentially means outputting direct current. A lot of audio gear don't take kindly to DC signals various reasons; things like amplifiers or headphones.
Is it possible that there are different types of cables that offers HD transfer to the TV? I've never really heard "HD" cable either, but in the article I read it as HDMI, had to go back to check if it actually said HD.
It's already on sale in Taiwan for 1 or 2 months. (with a different case though)

You are right! Shucks
Which makes sense, as English doesn't have a word to delineate between Familial Love and Romantic Love. This is more a fault in English than it is a quirk of Tamil.
If you can, don't just make it about the price you pay in the end. By favoring the cheapest options, customers are creating cost pressure which leads to an extremely low green bean price for the farmers.

I like coffee, so I don't want the farmers who grow my coffee to starve.
I don’t know what to say. You are absolutely right.

What makes me even more anxious is the life my kids are going to have. How do I teach them to avoid the slavery when even I’m not able to break free.
... so now every YouTube video aimed at the general public has to open with some violence, drug use or sexual content? Just to make it abundantly clear that it's not for children?
"Is Plagiarism Wrong? by Agnes Callard"

Why did the author write his name in the article if the argument is that attributing any kind of ownership or provenance is without value? It's almost as if the author cares about his original work.
I am learning Japanese. I am spending an increasing amount of time searching for things in Japanese, and am starting to notice how often a 'trinet' website even comes up on the first page. Virtually zero. I wonder if the 'the web is dying' mentality is only restricted to English? I would be surprised if English websites made up even half of all internet traffic
This looks great! Thanks for building it. Any plans on adding support for Collections and their functions? If that were to be added, I'd have a lot of use cases for this library already.
way more. Every rural person could buy 5 trucks a year and there'd still be 10x as many purchases in the city. and rural people dont buy 5 trucks a year. The population differences are staggering and trucks are popular.
It doesn't really compare. HotQueue is just a queue. Celery is full-blown task queue (with periodic tasks, task retries, monitoring, etc) that supports multiple backends (AMPQ, Redis, SQL databases) and even integrates nicely with existing python web frameworks (Django, Flask).
It seems awkward to me, probably because I have been taught to despise the passive voice in writing. I prefer 'The walker overcomes the road' which feels more better :)
Your comment is especially amusing given the lineage of Sabre. In fact, wasn't the original internetwork-facing version of Sabre called Saabre?
I found Jetbeans was somewhat similar, about 15 years later.

Evidence is nice, but sometimes it makes sense to reason from known principles. SARS-CoV-2 was known to spread through respiratory droplets almost from the beginning. Particulate respirators are known to protect people against respiratory droplets. Surgical masks are routinely used for source control of respiratory droplets in surgical settings. A mask recommendation made a lot of sense, even before there was data suggesting they were specifically helpful against SARS-CoV-2.
No it’s never context dependant. In regard to flat earth, the scientific response is simply that the evidence seems to contradict that theory. If some people think it’s still a valid line of inquiry, then they’re perfectly entitled to pursue it. Science doesn’t dictate what is and is not a waste of time. If some people wish to assert that flat earth theories are definitely true, then that’s fine too. It’s not scientific, because science doesn’t have any mechanism for determining something to be definitely true. If some people want to claim that flat earth is likely true, that’s fine too, but it’s also not a very defensible scientific conclusion either, because the scientific evidence weighs heavily against that conclusion. But saying that something is definitely not true is equally anti-science, because science doesn’t have a mechanism for determining something to be definitely not true either.

The problem that people have with this tends to be that when they notice somebody being “wrong” about something, they want to be able to conclusively prove that the other person is wrong, and that they are right. Especially if it’s in regards to an issue they consider important. If you think that the scientific evidence supports your position in a situation like this, the temptation is to claim that science unequivocally proves you are correct. It is however, an outright abuse of the scientific method.

This sort of situation has become very common place. When science communicators are faced with anti-scientific assertions of absolute truth, they’re not inclined to acknowledge scientific uncertainty, and the limits of their own understanding. Sadly this has created a culture of anti-scientific science worship.
If you have enough users writing enough content then you don't need to write the content yourself.

Simply delete the things you disagree with to control the narrative.

It's barely different then writing it yourself.
You could also sell access to some "extra documentation". It doesn't have to be particularly useful or add any value at all, it just has to be there. You could probably go as "far" as just writing a two-page rundown of IMAP or something. Maybe even put it online for free and sell access to a PDF. The point is there's a tangible "benefit".

This does not apply solely to taxation, but also what is an easy sell to management.

All of this is extra administrative work that understandably you don't want to deal with, but it may open the door to significantly more sponsorships, so it could be worth looking into.

What are their concerns?
Both your links claim less than 95% compliance, and both suggest a recent, marked improvement in mask wearing from earlier dates (but still well after the start of the pandemic).
I think about this all the time because of recent revelations about the micro biome. It was right under our noses but we assumed the clues were all in the human body’s own cellular machinery.
Well the post does appear to hint at a more serious issue - but it might not be easy to make it precise.
Well obviously the wealthiest 1% are exactly 1% so there are going to be a lot of them!

Did we really think there are tens of millions of Daddy Warbuckses?
Some interesting things happen here, the queens almost always seem to go first in my games (perhaps because of their freedom of movement they tend to end up in dangerous territory quickly). Also lots of pawn promotions make the mid-end games a lot more fun, although as the promotion is also random I've ended up with unwinnable endgames (e.g. two knights).

I don't play chess beyond knowing the rules, but this is a lot more fun than watching a tournament!
I noticed they are soliciting reviews (read: links) to their site and paying for them:

http://www.pickydomains.com/make-money

...including a requirement that the site have a PageRank of 2. Is this consistent with Google policies or are they going to get dinged down the results because of this behavior?
To the point number two: even though I love to use PostgreSQL, when I hit the point where I need pgBouncer and its transaction mode, things get quite ugly especially if you've been using a lot of prepared statements. Now you need to clean the statements from the connection after every use or get conflict errors if another connection using the same connection from the bouncer wants to declare a statement with the same name.

Or you just use the text protocol and escape your parameters in the app...

Moderna has not been distributing its vaccines fast enough internationally. There is a timer to these things you know, because the virus can mutate more. For that reason I'd rather put my investment in 3D printing or something.
> Zuckerberg said he had come to believe that a C.E.O. shouldn’t have complete control over the limits of our political discourse. “Maybe there are some calls that just aren’t good for the company to make by itself,” he told me.

Yet another PR move on Zuckerberg's part, he is still 100% holding onto his power at Facebook. Facebook simply cannot change, because the incentives for running that kind of service don't align with instituting actual good moderation on the site. I doubt anybody is under the illusion that this so-called "oversight board" will have any impact on disinformation spread and arbitrary removals, or do anything serious in terms of policy due to the impact that would have on Zuckerberg's position.

I feel like it is more of a sockpuppet created to keep as much of the blame away from Zuckerberg and his company while attempting to defuse the risk of actually meaningful regulatory protections against disinformation. As long as there is an incentive model where advertisers pay for attention and Facebook delivers it through outrage, nothing will change.
I noticed in Tokyo, office pods started showing up in upscale capsule hotels[1] and stations[2] (only saw it in Shibuya station so far). Karaoke places are also advertising rooms for remote working.

When you tie pricing metrics to interest rates, they are either not inflated or not that inflated.

You have to account for the amount of money in the system and how that money seeks to beat inflation.

You can't just pick up 40-year old chart analysis books and say "aha the P/E ratio for this sector is higher than normal", it is all part of an ecosystem.

The macroeconomic policy is going to be a greater influence than any chart-based psychology proxy or seeing how many essential workers are talking about investing their spare change.

Right now, more money is going to be created or distributed in the trillions. If the Central Banks are instructed to be involved, or chose to be involved, their method of getting new money into the market will be by purchasing more bonds which pushes interest rates even lower.

The only thing this didn't predict were new ephemeral asset classes, crypto. That people are opting to buy.
Where I come from, you'll find orthodontists in hospitals along with all the other doctors. If you're referring to the dentists whose job is to clean you up regularly and tell you to floss more often, I guess they're a distinct profession from GPs because that part of the body benefits from regular specific maintenance by a trained professional, but they're still doctors.
this is parroted so often but is usually quantifiably false. Usually the fines are small compared to overall profit of a company because the actions are relatively small compared to total operations, but most fines defintely cost the company more than not doing the actions would have in financial cases.
Some previous-gen versions of these have fallen into the price range that an individual could plausibly buy. For example, here's a used 152-core, 608GB RAM version for AU$10k: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SGI-ALTIX-4700-76-DC-itanium2-1-6-60...

Unfortunately, the power usage is ridiculous, something like 20 kW. That's what typically makes old big-iron impractical. At the mid-range, used hardware is even cheaper: you can pick up old 12-core, 48-GB-RAM Itanium boxes for the cost of a Chromebook (~$200-300). But they take so much power that you don't end up saving anything over buying a dual-Xeon new, at least if you keep it on. Also, everything is very heavy and a hassle to move.
for a moment there I tought it was going to end with "but you can't stop us all, afterall we're all alike"
Good quality sleep is very important for our health (https://ivypanda.com/essays/importance-of-sleep-psychology/), because it helps to improve concentration and productivity, even increases the ability to solve problems. Therefore, it is so important for students to adhere to sleep norms, otherwise there will be problems with good grades.
that's because they show the cheapest round-trip someone else has found previously
Not an expert on windows security, but the traditional answer is the fundamental user handling in Unix solves a lot of problems. I admit ignorance to the validity of the claim, a detailed comparison would be appreciated.
It's 3 standard deviations above the mean, so it'd definitely be an eye-opener compared to the composition of pretty much any high school class.
There is no 2^x opcode btw...
I like Marco's proposed solution, because polling is an easily abstracted or generalized operation. Pooling app polling would save a tremendous amount of setup and teardown time.

I also like his idea of iOS only allowing polling when signal is above a threshold. Data requests while in marginal coverage chew battery at an extraordinary rate. Changing my Fetch frequency on 3 mail accounts from 15 mins to 60 mins more than doubled battery life.

ReMail approached this by setting a timer to remind the user to launch the app and download mail to index. The data load for checking mail with arbitrary attachment sizes is considerably more than what Marco's talking about. I'd bet the data transfer problem is something Apple considered.

Even for small data sets, using data continually adds up. After getting their first data bill, users might prefer to be manually in charge of their data usage.
He doesn't dismiss security bugs, he avoids publicizing security fixes.

Anyway, this is irrelevant. The article stated that Linux on the desktop is less frequently a target than Windows. This is objectively true.
my problem is, I know my travel dates (mid-August) and I know my budget, but still not sure where to go. Unfortunately Kayak searches (including this very cool hack) are useless at solving that.

P.S. ITA Software Matrix is good at this if you have a list of places, but not for random destinations.
I saw a good answer here a while back: You're no longer a startup when the supplies cupboard is locked.
I know no tool would solve every problem, but I can't help but wondering if someone developed and IDE that truly got C++ would that allow C++ to be used by more projects. Seeing grep referenced for code searches reminds me that grep has no knowledge of the context of anything in a searched file. It almost seems like C is the only choice if you can't go beyond context-less tools.

//a grep specifically for C++ code - hum
Did I ever tell you guys about the time we accidentally nuked all the mailboxes for all the million-plus users on The Global Network Navigator (GNN) site? And how the restore process failed for us?

This hasn't been written up at The Register yet, so I don't have a single URL I can share with you.
>So what a LVT does, is to force individual landowners to sell land off to giant developer corporations who do have the resources to make it happen.

Now those giant corporations are finally paying their damn taxes.
This is what I have literally been waiting for ever since I got my Kindle. I really want a 13/15 inch laptop with an e-ink screen. It's just so much better to look at, especially before bed.
Interesting. Krugman has said that he got interested in economics because it was the closest thing in reality to psychohistory as described in Asimov's Foundation series. Of course, any society capable of interstellar trade would be beyond scarcity and hence economics as we know it. But fun, nonetheless.
Yes, it is. Its basis was developed independently, but when people speak of the STL today, they are referring to the standard algorithms and containers.
It is preemptive on function calls just like erlang.
Google Engineers mostly use their beefy workstations with a Google-flavored Ubuntu installed to code. Most engineers have Mac laptops though (at least my team), even though their use is quite limited (you cannot store code there, so mostly you have to ssh or remote desktop to your workstation)

A long time ago I used an rtlsdr hooked up via usb-otg in order to track aircraft [1].

I'd be really interested in a minified version that didnt need the otg dongle. Or even a stand alone battery operated sdr that could be controlled with bluetooth? I dunno how big that market is, especially absent a network like you propose.

I'm still not totally happy with most of the backup solutions, or maybe I want too many features all at once (sth like Perkeep). Although, otherwise, if the tools are simple, I have to use multiple tools to cover all the features, and there will be lots of overlap, which is maybe not too much of a problem actually.

I collected a list here: https://github.com/albertz/wiki/blob/master/backup-software....

This country is not a hell hole? That's a tough argument to make for a lot of people!
The camera is to record your PIN, which is only useful in conjunction with the magstripe data. A camera to record the numbers physically printed on the card isn't going to be super effective. Yeah, it might get a few, but probably not enough to be worthwhile.
Hillary won working class voters in the 2016 primary by a comfortable margin. +28 with non-college-educated voters and +13 with voters under $50,000 in income.
You can't just look at cost/kwh. You have to look at the cost of meeting total instantaneous energy demands. Sure, solar and wind are cheaper in many places, but they all depend on a reliable fallback like natural gas. I really don't see how we can avoid fission power for the time being. Its the only current technology that is 100% compatible with our existing grid.
You'd still have to take the lack of :hover into consideration for both versions, so nothing has been gained.
I am interested that they didn't just say, "We own the trademark Facetime, GTFO." Maybe they just have an automated system that does this kind of thing? I assume you will change the name to something else and everything will be OK, right?
I'd rather have speed and battery life than tethering. If "speed and battery life measures are subjective" is all you have to say, that sounds like intentional ignorance.
How knee-deep in a silly Android vs iPhone fanboy war do you have to be to write a long post addressing the supposed presumption that iPhone 4 was going to slow Android down? What sensible person is even constructing thoughts along these lines?

Many kinds of critiques, positive and negative, of both platforms are welcome. But this sort of fanboy service horse race punditry is not.

At this stage, the smartphone market is not a zero sum game. Nobody has to slow anybody down. Stop polarizing this space.
I'll struggle to word this correctly, but here goes.

It's not a fallacy because the person makes these judgements based on their experience on the best way to deal with these situations. It's not a false or mistaken idea, rather a rational way to deal with the lopsided injustices and contradictions of the world we live in.
