My policy:

- lame passwords for sites I don't care about (e.g., 'insecure')
- the same password for sites with semi-sensitive information (e.g., facebook)
- unique passwords for bank accounts, servers, etc.

So I try to strike a balance between difficulty in remembering & security.
Don't give up on the idea and don't lose motivation if your idea is already out there or if it 'seems' to be patented (assuming you feel strongly about the idea). I would be shocked if aspects of your idea and the method by which you implement your idea doesn't change between now and when it is built. As such, your search at this time may not be completely relevant to the product you ultimately create. I would advise you to build whatever it is you're building while keeping in mind that it may be patentable. Given the potential for patentability down the road I would not freely discuss the details or 'secret sauce' of the idea (discuss what the app will enable but not how it does what it does). Depending on where you intend to file for a patent, public disclosure will either initiate a count down (at the end of which you must begin the patent filing process) or make it so that you can't patent the idea.
China is lagging a lot. =)
APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE! APPLAUSE!

Name-friendly, not just user-friendly needed.
Has anyone noticed the author offers tutoring? I find it a very interesting idea.

Is it a widespread practice? Has someone had a tutor and would like to share with us how tutoring/mentoring helped him?
Because what Google and Apple have shown everyone is that a great interface is minimal, neat and efficient.

The most useful webapps i've seen where always also websites with a minimal design (soup.io and animoto.com are examples of those, love the UIs, animoto is rather simple when editing.. startpage is overly complex to advertise the features)
I don't know of any studies but I, for one, would be much more inclined to click on a [pic] link compared to a text one, given the topics are of nearly equal interest. The reason is, you can judge the relevance/interesting-ness of a photo at a glance, comes in handy when you want to review a lot of entries.
It seems to me that a lot of popular Unix-originated software seems to have really high learning curves (Vim comes to mind).

I wish projects like git spent more efforts on things like GUIs.

Does anybody know of any Linux alternatives?
Excluding the graphics company, it sounds like they're trying to build out an application suite that makes it easy to keep firing up new vmware nodes as you grow.

My guess is what you're seeing is the slow buildout of a platform to provide the enterprise with it's own app store.

Think about it this way: what's a huge risk to VMWare's business? Customers deciding that moving applications and infrastructure to the cloud because the scaling and uptime requirements are too expensive to do in house.

Every company that moves their Exchange mailboxes to Google Apps is a lost VMWare customer.
Icahn is an asshole, I wouldn't trust a word he says unless the other party confirmed it. Keep the Dell case in mind when you look at anything Icahn says or does. He's got money but 0 scruples.
Paraphrasing Torvalds, to keep people like Nathan out.

Being serious, the world needs an easily bootstrappable C compiler. It's a crucial pillar of our society, and we lost it a few years ago. That is a shame.
Unless it's used as a jumping off point to learn the real thing. You have to start somewhere to even care about a subject if you're going to dive into it.
"Railroad Tycoon" taught the gen-x generation to read and manipulate the various standard financial reports as kids.

For some cultural reason we don't teach kids how, for example, in the long run, income statements interact with balance statements until at least their 20s and even then we limit the knowledge to a small elite, although I was an expert on reading financial reports by age 10 due to playing RRT. Certainly the math and logical concepts are not difficult for kids to learn.

Why do we intentionally limit "the masses" ability to understand how businesses are financed? Because knowledge is power... Ability to read financial reports is not much knowledge and not much power but its greedily guarded...
git user interface design is a disaster. It's no wonder it's hard to document (this is a bit orthogonal to your point...).

Git has an extremely complex data structure/state: It's a forest of DAGs (commits in distributed repos), with labels on them (branches), that have specified relationships (remotes), as well as an index and a stash per DAG. All of this on top of the working directory (and .gitignore if you want).

Of course these individual elements are mostly necessary to enable complex workflows. But simple workflows interact with all of these elements too in complex ways. This complexity is neither hidden behind a sensible set of UX abstractions, nor are they cleanly exposed to the user with a set of clean elementary operations to work on them...
It's not that simple. Buying $500k of stocks does not mean you gave $500k to a company to use unless the stocks were bought directly from them. More likely it was bought from another investor with cold feet, and at best the company benefited from the increased stock price generated by the demand.

I for one am surprised that we don't have more "videogame characters" lifted out of a videogame that can maintain eye contact based on the camera (depth or not.)
Pass-through isn't tax evasion, but as an example opposite to yours, I used to know someone who created an LLC and then bought things as LLC expenses (like computers, printers, etc) that were really for personal use.

Not necessarily a pass-through technique, but the example that pops to mind is the tax treatment of vehicles over 6500lbs GVWR. It's a major incentive for any business owner to over-spend on luxury SUVs when either a nice sedan (realtor, sales people, etc entertaining clients) or a smaller van/truck (many painters, florists, etc) would be more than sufficient.
As a former fund manager, I have some things to explain and some things to ask.

First, the thing to explain:

Basically CS was one of several Prime Brokers. This basically means the guy who lends money to the speculators. Same as buying a house, you have a down payment that's your money, and then a bank lends you between 115% (boom times) and 30% (safe as houses) of the value of the house. If the house falls in value and you can't pay the mortgage, the bank can sell your house, and hopefully that will mean they recover their entire loan. Note that they only lose once the value has declined by your down payment amount.

I actually knew the boss of a PB who got fired because a rich guy came in and wanted a lot of leverage, the risk managers said no, and he overruled them. And then the customer proceeded to lose hundreds of millions speculating, and it ate the bank's capital. So it's not the first time that risk gets overruled.

So somehow, CS has lost $4.7B on this Archegos financing, after Archegos lost whatver they put up. From what I gather, Archegos had $10B of equity in total? Typically (sensibly) you don't put all your eggs in one basket as a fund, even a quite concentrated fund.

How big was the position?
Great point! But, to be fair, the glass didn't look that strong in the demo :)
You nailed it. Long distance driving as the norm. Modest incomes, but still driving expensive pick-ups. Gas is a major expense in this case. If you can save on electric, then this thing would be looking really good.
>I am sure Tesla will sell plenty of them, but I just can't help think it looks like a bad prop from a low budget 80s sci-fi movie.

How did you miss the crew of people dressed like characters in a low budget 80s sci-fi movie exiting the truck? Or, more briefly, thatsthejoke.jpg
The main reason cars with internal-combustion engines catch on fire during collisions must be a breach in the fuel system. While your point about rescuing passengers is valid, I'm not sure fires alone could support it.
But I still had to add and verify my email before I could add 2FA.
So the inspiration is the Lotus Esprit S1 from the Moore era, is my guess: https://jamesbond.fandom.com/wiki/Lotus_Esprit_S1_(1976)
I have mixed feelings right now, but this thing is going to grow on a lot of people. It just looks... badass.

EDIT: It's like the first time I saw The Rock. I thought his head was too small and his face was stupid. Now I love Dwayne Johnson.
IANAL

My understanding is that it's the Police's property. If you find it, you can probably legally remove it from the car, but you can't keep it or prevent the Police from recovering it.

This might be interesting to you:

They'd key onto that eventually (probably pretty quickly when it never returns to his house for a few days) and just recover and place another.
That is not what subresource integrity is for.

Transport Layer Security guarantees, among other things, that the content really comes from the server it should come from¹. This means that the content was not manipulated by a man-in-the-middle.

However, it does not guarantee that the content was not manipulated by an attacker with access to the server. If a web application (say Gmail) includes a JavaScript library (say jQuery) served by a content delivery network (say code.jquery.com), it can use subresource integrity to have the browser verify that the library was not manipulated by an attacker.

This prevents the threat model where the content delivery network becomes compromised and an attacker replaces the library by malicious code that sends the private data of users to the attacker.

Subresource integrity can also prevent other attacks, but it complements end-to-end encryption. It does not replace it.

¹ This assumes that the certificate is valid, of course. There are problems with the current certificate authority model, but there are also solutions to these problems.
I'm looking forward to the return of vrml. A memorable post on HN:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7301062

"I worked on a VRML retail store that had 3D products on 3D shelves and 3D customer service reps you could chat with. It was just like shopping in a real world retail store, except you're tripping on LSD flying uncontrollably upside down through a bright colored world of blocks and pyramids while wearing binoculars until you punch a hole in the sky and your browser crashes. The world just wasn't ready to shop in 3D."
You misunderstand. My point was millions of dollars were spent on producing GTA V, years of development work put it and for a while after launch you couldn't even play the GTA Online component which was one of the advertised features. It wasn't so much there were issues or they were releasing it non-feature complete. My final point being: you can make developers put in excessive overtime to finish a game, but it won't be a pretty result.
ah, no. As I'm sure you know, true neutrality is rare, and in a social system, where people come and go, neutrality is an unstable equilibrium.

There is a story about a Soviet diplomat and an American diplomat at a treaty conference. The Russian observes "I envy your propoganda. In the USSR, at least we know Pravda is lying. In the US, you don't even know that."

I would prefer Assange's idea: admit that neutrality is unstable and instead, take a stand, but back it up by publishing your source material. This is precisely what scientists do. Rare is the scientific article that publishes all the data from the study. Instead, they publish their analysis of the data: graphs, tables, words. The WikiLeaks model is actually more rigourous than most scientific literature: they publish the whole dataset on top of the analysis and editorial."
I guess you are right and thanks for the tip, but at that point it looked like it was.

The problem was when that guy broke the promise he made to make me stay ( pay my non used leave days )
Showing people a minimum viable product is not feasable in most situations. You should try to validate your innovation idea earlier in your development process.
Talking to potential customers is still best - I think.
While criminal laws are similar, punishment might be more severe in the USA. The same crime which leads to several years in prison in the US might result in a fine in the Netherlands. I have no statistics to back this up so I can’t tell you whether that‘s actually the case but I think it’s important to note that the mere existence of the same crimes in the criminal law of different countries is not sufficient to decide the question.
Your last statement there inspired me.

2 days ago I registered A website for my new todo list concept, and I got it set up a few hours ago. Just need to get adsense and my dns set up better and I'll be ready to roll with an MVP... ToDoWiki.com
"The only thing I really miss from Emacs is being able to "Ctrl-K" 3 times and pressing "Ctrl-Y" once to move 3 lines. With Vim you have to count the number of lines ahead of the operation, which is a real speedbump."

V-jjj-x

If I understand you correctly. I don't speak emacs.
You say, "I'm even glad." I have seen this sort of comment before, but what I see when I read them is "I'm petty, really petty."
The question was actually, "how are you going to protect your intellectual property and keep competitors from imitating you?" Patents is a fine answer to that.
Its also mentioned in Making Ideas Happen by Scott Belsky.
Clean, but I think your 'idiomatic' version should use words.TryGetValue( key, out value) instead of the duplicated dictionary lookup of known words in words.Contains( key) and words[ key]
>In my experience, both with self-study and at university, the best way to gain and retain knowledge is by working problems.

I'm this way too, but I don't think everyone is. I think a successful program should include problem solving, reading, and audio/visual.

Because people learn differently.
Yeah; I very much admire Steve's drive and vision, but he was still responsible for brushed metal, corinthian leather, and all the rest. Not to mention (arguable) design missteps like that awful aspect ratio iPod Nano. So let's keep things in perspective here...
You can make the argument that Apple's biggest triumphs haven't been hardware innovations but commercial and usability ones. People aren't necessarily concerned that Tim Cook can't make a better desktop, but that he can't concieve products that leapfrog entire markets and industries like the iPod, iPhone, and iPad did.
A quote: "First, the ratings would reward colleges that offer 'value.'"

"Value?" Who doesn't see the flaw in this suggestion? How is a government agency qualified to judge the value of different educational choices? What metrics will they use?

This is a good idea in principle, but it has a huge potential chasm between intent and realization.

I hope this works -- there are any number of colleges that offer seemingly prestigious but worthless degrees, and they should be called out. The problem is that there's no assurance that a government agency can be expected to distinguish between wheat and chaff.

There's another problem. On reviewing my own education, I realize that 90% of what I was taught in the 1950s is now recognized as either flat wrong (all life depends on photosynthesis), or taught a skill that's now obsolete (penmanship, long division). My point? Instead of delivering specific subjects, colleges should teach self-education skills for the long future. Some do, some don't, but that aspect of education is neither recognized nor tested for.
Although I wouldn't put as much stock in Garber's thesis (although I did enjoy the monograph) as you do, there definitely is value to his argument. I think it is also important to stress that the problem with the tulip bulb markets at the time was that there were people who were aggressively using leverage and they did not understand the ramifications of it's use.
Still, even within type there's great variance. Coke and Pepsi are both colas, but whereas in the US they taste fairly similar, they're very different here in Australia (our coke is like mexican coke, made with sugar instead of HFCS). The inconvenience of being exposed to branding is overshadowed by the inconvenience of accidentally selecting a product you know you don't like.

Simple advertising like branding on the product itself isn't the problem, anyway. It's usually not intrusive nor irrelevant to what you're doing. If you're looking at the bottle, chances are that you want to do something with it. It's not like you're driving down the road and the bottle forces itself into view like a billboard. It would be better if this form of adblocking could somehow detect if the branding was actually attached to the product and let that through, since it does double duty as branding and identification.
>> which shows a lack of respect for the standards process.

Interesting phrasing.
Literally the entire reason for the transmission for a combustion engine is to make the relatively high minimum speed of an internal combustion work for lower road speeds, with the pleasant side effect of increasing torque at low speed.

Electric motors have no need for one, because they have both variable speeds and generally tremendous amounts of torque to start with.
How does this work from a security standpoint? Assuming my card information is stolen and used via a Stripe form, or a merchant I used previously decides to bill me fraudulently, and I change my card details, what prevents them from just getting the new info?

Does whatever mechanism the bank<->Stripe communication uses know not to notify Stripe of the new details if the card is being replaced for fraud rather than natural expiration?

I expect somebody on Stripe's end has thought of this and figured out how to handle it, I just don't know enough about how this kind of information-sharing works to know how they solved it.
Does this mean Fuchsia/Zircon are effectively dead? I got the impression Google was keeping them as a backup in case this lawsuit went badly for them.
Which, once you get over the low production values, is actually a very good series. Amazing actors, including Derek Jacobi. I once saw Derek Jacobi and Robert Lindsey in a play on stage, Becket, which had a few cloths and spotlights as props. These people can act. It was amazing.
You're completely missing the point. 200 years ago the majority of people were illiterate and uneducated, had no electricity or indoor plumbing, no telecommunications, food insecurity tied to local conditions, and on and on. Housing was a hovel or a few square meters in a shared dorm or family house. In much of the world, freezing to death and having enough food to survive the winter was an annual concern.

Today, the majority are literate and at least somewhat educated, have electricity and usually indoor plumbing, have telecommunications that communicate with at least half the world instantly, and today food insecurity mostly depends on market manipulation and international shenanigans rather than acts of god. Except for remote tribes that aren't integrated into modern society, across the world the poor are much better off than they were 200 years ago.
The Master and Margarita is likely one of my favorite pieces of literature in translation.
Is the problem the current tax code, or the fact that companies know they can pay politicians to change the tax code in their future to favor them, and they just need to wait it out?

If companies knew they were going to pay the tax one way or the other, there would be no point in hoarding overseas.

We should penalize companies for the behavior until it makes more sense for them to repatriate it immediately.
I agree with the parent. Patent trolls aren't tied to patents because of some love for patents specifically, but because the legal structure allows for the most misuse. They would gladly add another tool to their belt given the chance, as we saw from this case with most of the bad copyright opinions coming from the CAFC, ie. the patent appeals court that's currently stuffed with IP maximalists.
For the most part it is...(municipalities >100k)

Every single sentence in this article is offensive, and the overall article is also offensive. It also makes impossible generalizations such as this one:

"Most Romans, like Augustus, thought cruelty to slaves was shocking."

For a different perspective, I'd recommend some of Elaine Pagel's work on the early Christian movement, in particular:

http://www.amazon.com/Adam-Eve-Serpent-Politics-Christianity...

In "Adam, Eve, and the Serpent: Sex and Politics in Early Christianity" Pagel's makes clear that slaveowners could rape their female slaves. Some of the early Christian leaders denounced this practice, and argued that slave owners had no right to rape their female slaves. In this, the early Christians represented a dramatic break with the culture of Rome. And this is also why Nietzsche once referred to the early Christian movement as a slave revolt.

Unless you don't think that rape is cruel, it is accurate to say that slaveowners believed in cruelty to slaves. From everything I've read, these kinds of horrors were closer to the norm than the exception:

"Vedius Pollio, a rich Roman, once invited his friend the emperor Augustus to dinner. The entertainment was interrupted when a slave broke a valuable crystal cup. Trying to impress with his toughness, Vedius ordered the slave boy be thrown to the huge moray eels in his fish pond."

And good god, let's not learn management techniques by studying dictators such as this:

"But Augustus was not impressed. In fact, he was outraged at this novel form of cruelty. He ordered Vedius to free the slave boy and told the other slaves to bring all the crystal cups they could find and smash them in their master’s presence. He then told Vedius to fill in the fish pond and get rid of the moray eels."

This whole bit somehow succeeds at being innocent, stupid, shocking, deplorable, wrong and offensive all at once:

"Most Romans, like Augustus, thought cruelty to slaves was shocking. They understood that slaves could not simply be terrified into being good at their job."

Here's a cold hard fact: if you are a slave owner, then you are cruel. It is a simple matter of definition: to be a slave owner means that if someone does what they wish with their life, you are prepared to beat them, torture them, imprison them, or even kill them, to be sure they do not have the freedom to do what they want to do with their life.

Any article that suggests that it is possible to be a non-cruel slave owner is an article that does not understand what slavery is.
Awesome! I did not realize 2014 was posted. I was planning on going through 2013:

http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~redwood/OffensiveSecurity/lectures.ht...

In April. The texts for that class are "Hacking" and "Counter Hack Reloaded"
But there is a second consistency he could be talking about, ie ACID consistency. Thus the article...
"We don’t want to get back to judge people by how much time they spend working, but by the quality of their output."

Super important to mention this when advocating for more team building. If anything, remote workers have a tough time unplugging.
Again, you just pick data as the "one" core business critical technology. I guess you are an SQL export? There are dozens of critical points of failure. Losing your HA gateway during an expensive ad campaign, designing your network/data center wrong such that your SQL cluster goes down etc. etc. Even JavaScript that hides the "checkout" feature. I didn't even go into security (think your domain gets hijacked, or XSS injection on your site etc.).
Nothing I have read about her makes her sound nice. She seems like a materialistic serial scammer.

If so, then perhaps the courts are the best remedy.

Yes, I just increase a LIMIT in an SQL query. I'll try that now. I didn't want the page to look too cumbersome.
