My pleasure! It's certainly been very useful to me to have Telnet capabilities into an iOS app, and same for coworkers I introduced this feature to.

I think some people like to be all high and mighty about security issues and derive pleasure from pointing out (often adamantly) what they see as flaws while often these are expected and well understood side-effects, and in no way "real" security issues.
The secret is basically that they're ripping you off, which pretending they're helping you, and under no circumstances should you buy a car on credit because they use that to obscure the real price.

Also, even if it pisses them off, haggle and get prices from multiple dealerships, then play them off against each other. If they won't play, walk away to another dealer.
But that's true of most modern aircraft. The F-4 was intended as a fleet interceptor, and was put into numerous other roles. The S-3 was intended for ASW and ended up doing recon, ECM, and land attack roles. Even the F-14 ended up as the Bombcat with the addition of targeting pods.
I think you're forgetting that not all websites/youtube videos are equal. Having a banner ad on some random webcomic is not the same as having one on penny arcade, just as having an ad on some youtube video is not the same as having one on smosh's video, just as having an ad on channel 738 is not the same as having one on basic cable. Furthermore, doesn't a website have these same constraints? I only look at each page for a finite amount of time, each youtube video is only a finite amount of length, each website only gets a certain amount of viewers.

I think the web in general still has the same constraints as more traditional media, they just aren't as obvious. A website getting x unique visitors could show x unique ads, a different ad for every visitor. But maybe that isn't very effective, so the website reduces the number of ads they show in order to have each ad by seen by more visitors, thus reducing the supply of available ad slots. These constraints aren't as obvious as they are for television or radio, but I think they still exist.

I think you're right that J. Startup can't depend on banner advertisements as a form of revenue, but J. Startup is probably using google as the middleman. However, in this situation, J. wouldn't be building an advertising ecosystem, but depending on google's already huge ecosystem.
I don't think it will be farfetched in the future to see free hardware given away in order to earn advertising dollars. I bet if televisions were cheaper, broadcasting companies would have given away free hardware, and perhaps in the future hulu will give wifi devices to get people to watch hulu whenever they have a free moment.
KeePassX databases synced everywhere using Dropbox.

Sure. That's why I was saying 'minimum 6 floors'. Single family homes in San Francisco are mostly a terrible use of the limited available space. Since we're bounded on 3 sides by water, I feel we should be building up to a much greater extent.
Unfortunately, in the present context, only the early part of the notes will be really accessible to someone who has only just taken an intro class in linear algebra. The later parts, which deal with issues such as how fast the PageRank algorithm converges, really require people to have more mathematical experience.
Baylor University. I got a full ride scholarship, and it's a good school for undergraduates (if you're motivated).
Thanks for the feedback. In your screenshot it looks like the font didn't load and thus the layout goes crazy. Perhaps is the Google fonts server blocked? I ask since I test on FireFox on both my mac and PC and can recreate this when the fonts don't load or when NoScript blocks them.
They do safeguard their users data. They also comply with laws under which they are subject to, they aren't mutually exclusive.
We don't need to re-research nutrition starting from verification of macronutrients. The placebo could be an imbalanced mix of macronutrients. That way, you would expect malnutrition, not starvation.

I actually remember hearing an official from Cote d'Ivoire insisting that we should use "Cote d'Ivoire" in all languages.

People localizing their country name creates confusion, typically a citizen from Cote d'Ivoire unable to explain to an airport official where he's from because the official only knows the locally translated name.
Fortunately, Alice.org lives on.

I always thought Takedown was decent https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0159784/

This is based on Tsutomu Shimomura's account of the events that culminated in the arrest of Kevin Mitnick.

at least the tech was real and accurate as far as I remember but not about hackers in the true sense of the word.

If you want good non-fiction stories about true hackers I would recommend the book 'Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution'
> First, the possibility that the logs contain more evidence of Manning's or Assange's guilt

You seem to think its ok for Poulsen to hide the logs if doing so would make Manning look better, or if it would somehow make for a fairer trial. But Greenwald isn't arguing that Poulsen is just making Manning look bad.

Greenwald's Wired critique is based on the idea that journalism is about discovering truth. Poulsen is hiding that truth, whatever it is -- that's what makes it inexcusable.
In case anyone wants to go more in-depth into the inner workings of an introvert, I highly recommend the book "Introvert Power" by Laurie Helgoe. The article sums up most of the basic points pretty nicely though.
it could significantly reduce the value of the site if much of your potential word-of-mouth traffic goes to the non-hyphenated domain first

Germany seems to be the exception in preferring hyphenated domains, which is probably a consequence of trying to avoid multi-word domains being confused with the German language's many clumsy-looking compound words
Certainly Nike volumes are dwarfed by chinese shoes makers, but who gets the money in the end? A company is all about profit, not revenues. Apple gets an astounding part of the industry's profits, and that's what counts.

It's hard to give a "right answer" because "it depends."

But in general, IMO, it's best to keep things as simple as possible to get a user from point A-to-B. ie. ask yourself why you want the user to sign up, and what do you want them to do after?

With this in mind, I prefer email+pw (and maybe a few other fields depending on your needs). No pw repeat. No email confirmation.

Just my 2 cents.

And to add to the mix.. curious what others think once Facebook / Twitter / etc SSO are added to the mix?
I don't suppose MILINT has gotten any less competent in the last 60-odd years, but not disclosing that Tor is compromised would seriously hamper using it as a source for law enforcement, hence my thinking it would be more likely to be NSA. If so, I doubt we'd ever know, short of somebody leaking it.
OMG! The government created something useful therefore it can only, fundamentally, be a trojan horse. While I'm sure there could be some crackers out there trying to insert bad code. I also believe these things tend not to stick around for long. Especially when blame says "Hey, I've inserted code here, here and here. Try not to read me too closely."

I've tried Tor in the past and I stopped because:

* It's really slow.

* It's the chatroulette of really questionnable material. You stumble into some shit and think WTF?!

* The amount of traffic it generated caused my shitty router to slow down significantly or crash completely.
Pretty liberal use of the word "game"
> when there's tons of interesting technical meat to talk about

There is nothing technically interesting to talk about - its litterally big tech tech with an eagle, fighter jet and amaerican flag skinned on it.
No! On the opposite: I try to do the work quickly so I have more time for my hobbies. It's fantastic!

On the other hand, when I'm in the office, I'm a bit depressed and feel like a powerless slave, just can't wait to be free. Fortunately my companies has an elastic WFH policy but I'm not sure how long it will hold.
Thought train:

- What are the first principles of communication.

- Of what you want to say, what can they hear.

- The more refined (technical) your knowledge, the fewer people there are who can understand it.

- "Language is the interface for describing problems." This phrase makes me rather happy for some reason.

- Do you want to sound clever, or be clever. (It's easier to sound clever.)

- What are all the functions of using more technical language than necessary.

- Understanding what's relevant to another person is an advanced skill. In any context.

- Filtering technical knowledge into a relevant format for a listener to comprehend in real time is a skill that can be learnt.

- More people think they understand than actually do.

- There are infinite layers to understanding even the simplest thing.

- At what point do you tend to decide you've understood.

- Where does the feeling of 'understanding' come from.
If you'd like to check out more about V, here's the GitHub repo:

One of the coolest latest projects is the Vinix OS, written fully in V:

It's a POSIX OS that already runs libc, bash, GCC, g++, and Doom.
I'm the only one in our company not using any external monitors. The added screen real estate would be nice, but the downside is that then you have a different setup in the office and on the road. I rather get used to a single screen I always have with me.

I think it is a sign of the times that I read this paragraph, though it was a subtle joke, reread it and decided it was serious, and then did some more thinking about whether the author is serious or not.
Nick, I'm reading two really cool books that you might enjoy when you're in a "bottom-up" phase: The Elements of Computing Systems [0] and Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective [1]

[0] http://www1.idc.ac.il/tecs/
[1] http://csapp.cs.cmu.edu/

CSAPP is unfortunately a hulking $100 hardback, but the authors have put close to 200 sample pages online. Despite looking a bit fearsome, it's extremely clear. And TECS is just awesome--they take you all the way through building (in a hardware simulator) a simple 16bit computer!
I think it's changing, ala inflation.
But weren't ubiquitous.

The web existed in 1995, but it wasn't until the late '90s that it started becoming heavily used by the majority of the public at large.
The biggest gulf between physics and biology is the general principle that ockham's razor is a poor heuristic for biology. A second source is that biological phenomena exhibit strong path-dependence, and physicists are typically trained to think from a path-independent (state function) point of view.
Random thought from a non-medical type.

It's interesting to me that she had cancer when they harvested the cells, given the non-mainstream theory that cancer is just the body's healing process, run amok. I find the thought that it's the cancer that enabled her cells to reproduce so well, intriguing.

And I thought only us Indians and Chinese were having issues with voice recognition software..
As a 19 year old kid thats trying to learn web programming right now (After becoming reasonably proficient in java first), I can tell you first hand that there is a pretty big barrier to entry. It's frankly just hard to know what all the moving parts that you are supposed to include as padding actually do.

And it goes without saying that the "black boxes" or function calls that make OO programming or functional programming so efficient to do in groups are hell on someone learning to code.

In order to get people involved, its much better to make it easier instead of telling people to try harder.
I haven't experienced any of those issues but I'll take your word for it. I have seen a similar problem with a DNS setup on a site. Almost every second request would throw an error. Turned out to be a two separate, conflicting records for the same address.
ooo that’s right. I somehow thought Yahoo Answers evolved from Yahoo Groups.
The attention to detail and the pace is impressive. Very Japanese demo style indeed.
There have been accusations that ICE has performed forced sterilizations, but for now it remains at the level of conspiracy theory. It's easy to talk about how "unfortunate" US atrocities were and insist they're "in the past" after the cover-up campaigns have successfully concluded. But why would these institutions change when they succeeded at their aims and no one was ever held accountable? Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay are not in the distant past.
I was being sarcastic and forgot to add metadata for that.

Right, and that's why SCOTUS considered it in that order. Deciding API copyright was a much bigger decision than deciding fair use.
The whole question here is whether the law should require it. The reason why it's a strange concept is that it would severely limit the spread of information. The same avenues that a regular person can get content about them deleted can be used by politicians or criminals to do the same. Not only that, these levers can also be abused to simply target somebody with false claims. Furthermore, it also places trust onto the video hosting website to keep all of that information safe. If they get hacked, then all of that documentation and images of IDs get leaked.

>Why should someone be able to upload whatever they want to platforms with no responsibility for what they’re uploading?

This isn't in question though. The question is whether sites need to be preemptive or reactive. Illegal content is illegal even right now and these websites will delete it. If they don't then you can take them to court and the content will get deleted. However, the thread suggests that these websites should be forced to be preemptive - to demand documentation upfront. That's a whole different situation.
Completely agreed on the inevitability of that ask.

At risk of extreme overkill the other way, something like Debezium [1] doing change monitoring dumping into S3 might be a viable industrial strength approach. I haven't used it in production, but have been looking for appropriate time to try it.

Or maybe it is just media companies trying to exert power and blowing up issues out of proportion. Just because some media outlet writes a dramatic article, doesn't mean politicians should rush to instantiate new laws to appease the journalists.

I'm not defending the hosting of revenge porn, but that specific issue does not seem to rely on the existence of porn sites.

It does rely on sites where people can upload stuff. Maybe media companies don't really like that such sites exist, because it destroys their information monopoly.
The official cyber force of China is not the biggest suspect in most attacks like this. The loosely controlled civilian hacker force (think privateer pirates) launch most ddos-style attacks on foreign soil.
Work related: Jira for pretty much everything. Seriously, it's a fantastic product with insane amounts of customisation and only some quirks. The rest goes in OneNote (typically if I see something new which looks interesting but I don't have time to check it right away)

Personal: again OneNote for the same things (for example have a list of wines I really like).

Calendar-wise: my two jobs nor personal life require a full-blown calendar. I just put in in my head!
And ironically, no "Email" address at all to go with said GoDaddy hosting. Despite paying for a domain name, and a basic managed WordPress site.

I'm curious which of the Marathon bugs caused your downtime?
You definitely want the graphing calculator story [http://www.pacifict.com/Story/], and likely also want to look at folklore.org, for example the -2000 lines story [http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story...]

There's also the stories of Knuth inventing and writing TeX and Metafont because he isn't happy with the way his books are typeset and of RMS and the Xerox 9700, but I don't know whether these have been written well yet.
I think it's something of a cultural issue as well as an educational issue. In India, being a programmer is a nice job that brings parental and social approval. It's something you do because you're not passionate about doing something else. In the US, programmers are still "geeks", and it's not a cool job to do - especially the mainstream corporate/enterprise programming that employs most programmers. So American programmers are more likely to do it because they're passionate about it, not because they want a steady job.

The result of this is that the best Indian programmers - the smart, passionate ones - are every bit as good as the best American programmers. But the average Indian programmer is significantly worse, dragged down by hordes who don't know how to code well and don't care that they don't know.

An interesting contrast to this is Russian programmers. In my experiences with numerous offshore teams, Russian teams are more likely to produce working code, but they're also much more likely to go "off the reservation" and do things that aren't in the requirements. I summed it up to a former co-worker recently, who had dealt with Russian and Indian teams on the same project with me, as "The Indian team won't do anything unless you explicitly tell them to do so. The Russian team will do anything unless you explicitly tell them not to do so."

The cultural things are important as well as the educational aspects. I don't think an American CS degree is great preparation for real-world professional programming, either. What matters is how the programmer chooses to learn after the formal education stops - especially off-the-job learning.

Programmers who are passionate, who love to learn and demand the best work out of themselves for sheer pride... they're great. The rest are mostly useless.

Correct. Phase 0 isn't useful by itself and phase 1 isn't that useful either. Phase 2 is when people can actually start using ETH2 instead of ETH1.
With all due respect; from HN's posting guidelines..

>Stories on HN don't have to be about hacking, because good hackers aren't only interested in hacking, but they do have to be deeply interesting.

Which is fair enough. Also;

> What does "deeply interesting" mean? It means stuff that teaches you about the world. A story about a robbery, for example, would probably not be deeply interesting. But if this robbery was a sign of some bigger, underlying trend, perhaps it could be.

>The worst thing to post or upvote is something that's intensely but shallowly interesting: gossip about famous people, funny or cute pictures or videos, partisan political articles, etc.

IMO this posted 'article' goes against the guidelines. It is not 'deeply interesting', teaches us nothing about the world, and is verging on politically partisan (yes let's have a chuckle at the brexit party because someone bought a domain name - teehee!)

I mean, what's the news here? Someone bought a domain name. Which just happens to be a domain name the brexit party /might/ have been interested in but probably not because it's a .com

Yet here we are, with it being upvoted. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I got carried away dragging and zooming around but missed one thing. The search box is really powerful. You can locate each and every organ using it. I can imagine this being incredibly useful for medical students etc.

Good job Google.
You are right.You always have the puppets (the ones that are brainwashed and usually die in their own actions) and then the puppet masters , the ones that organize and send the other to die and they keep for themselves the talk and the ideology they usually don't follow. Well like all the politicians in the world they tell you to do things they usually don't. i have not seen many politician in the first line of nothing except parties and restaurants.
I too was really disappointed that this is nonsense instead of just very useless but correct. It downgrades it from smart and clever joking to "guy with a technical dictionary" joking.

Sweet. Figured someone would be along with a more reasonable explanation shortly.

Thank you for that. I figured there were processes in there I wasn't aware of,and that fits with my mental model a lot better than something I kicked out while falling asleep.
Like I said, I believe you that these exist, but they are a tiny fraction of total ads. It's not unlikely that most ads aren't even for legitimate products/services.
So wrong.

Back in the bad old days I would see code written in C that had three problems with return codes:

1) No error handling or incorrect error handling

2) Use of global variables (!) to pass back return codes from the standard library

3) Correct error handling code might bulk up the code two to three times and make it much harder to understand normal execution never mind error cases.

Now C++ exceptions were a disaster and the trauma caused a generation of coders to hate exceptions.

The current fad for returning an Either object is better organized than what people did in the C days, but it "kicks the can down the road" when it comes to error handling. I have seen my share of Scala apps that use Either and frequently people don't do the right thing about it.

There probably room for something better than Exceptions, but in the next few years people who thought Either was the bee's knees will rediscover Exceptions and it will seem like a breath of fresh air.
Same goes for off-roading. Luckily I live like an hour away from a big parc in Germany so my 1982 Range Rover can enjoy his natural environment at least a couple of times! Logically totally useless, but hell of fun!
