Micrsoft Active Directory stores what it calls an NT Hash in NTDS.DIT files on domain controllers.

These are unsalted, md4 hashed, unicode strings.

They are fast and easy to crack if you ever do get your hands on them. The point is that many big companies don't do passwords right, so why expect Gawker to do so?

Edit: md4 is not a typo. They use md4 not md5... OK.
Those only apply if you are Joe Lieberman
> For Spectre, you can't really have a high performance chip that isn't vulnerable to it in theory.

You could if you had a fully transactional cache such that branch misses could be rolled back. It's highly non-trivial and likely far too expensive in die space to justify, but theoretically solvable.

But I think realistically CPUs are just going to say "processes are the only security boundary we offer" and leave it at that. Which puts things like WASM in a very questionable spot (particularly things like WASM in the kernel), but Intel & AMD probably don't care about that too much. For web browsers all the major ones just gave up on in-process sandboxing and that's why we have things like per-iframe process sandboxes now ( and then reduced privileges in-process iframes with the 'sandbox' attribute: https://caniuse.com/?search=sandbox )
I think it would be worthwhile to be more precise in your summary: Some level of non-conformance among a group engaged in highly conformant behavior is a viable evolutionary strategy for the population as a whole, but may require coordination with the population to modulate the level of non-conformance.
Or just use tmux with multiple attached users?

Granted, this solution let's you give ssh access to anywhere, but usually if I want to share a terminal, it's on a server the other person has access to.
That's one people out of 36 million, making national news. You'll trip over a stack of them on your way to the news stand in the US. "I'm looking at having to sell my house for coverage of my medication" is practically America's national anthem.

Failures happen from time to time but they are the exception and not the norm. Numbers available here: [1] for the most part Canadians getting medical care in the US are "snowbirds" who live in Florida or California for half the year. This is utterly logical as Canadians don't usually have $100,000 to pay for a new hip.

If you dig into that specific situation, the issue was that Health Canada only gave conditional approval for Ibrance in early 2016. Broader approval was granted in mid/late 2017. This article was written in January of 2018 - between when Health Canada had approved Ibrance and when the British Columbia Ministry of Health had added it to it's list of covered drugs. That happened just 3 months after the article was published, in April of 2018.

This particular lady chose to travel to the US to obtain a drug that was not approved for sale in Canada at the time. That has since changed.

I don't think it's fair to indict the health system over this especially when not all health Canada approved drugs are fda approved and vv.

The system was calibrated to create as much friction to receiving healthcare if you are poorer (usually meant you didn’t have insurance pre ACA). Medicaid is the “insurance” for poor people, which pays healthcare providers on the low end and a as a result is not accepted as much.

The more friction that it creates for poorer people, the less healthcare they will use, and that helps keep taxes low.
Retroviruses and our coexistence with them is fascinating to me.

Fun fact: "About 8 percent of human DNA comes from viruses inserted into our genomes in the distant past, in many cases into the genomes of our pre-human ancestors millions of years ago."

SQL UDFs might be another potential use-case in the same category.
That's already a great bit of info. Thanks much. I always ran up against the can't win the but box on your own product issue. Can't believe I didn't consider ads as a bootstrap.
Despite having far less power, the Iranian regime's ME body count is higher than any other country - even if we blame Iraq solely on US. Letting those fanatics have nukes would be a mistake. But lets put that aside.

How did the 'engage economically to change the regime' policy work with China and Russia? For that matter, did Cuba change at all after Obama's attempt? These policies were a complete failure - the regimes got stronger, yet the drivers of conflict remained. Eventually the same old frosty relations returned.

Engagement fails when it is not reciprocal. The economics did not encourage the regimes to get more moderate - rather the reverse. In order for true change in relations to happen, the other side has to commit themselves to some change too. Unfortunately, the Iranian regime is ideologically committed to its current policies, and refusing to discuss any matters except maybe nuclear. They are definitely not willing to apologize or let things go. I see no real prospects for engagement until this changes.
I'm just realizing that several shark and snake species also give birth to live young, but I don't know whether they have placentas or similar structures. I'm sure they couldn't be homologous to mammal placentas, right? (Certainly not if this article is right about the timeline.) To what extent do viviparous animals converge when it comes to the mother/child interface?

So some sharks have placentas, as mentioned in this article about tiger sharks secondarily losing theirs: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4906603/ I wonder if I'll ever run out of huge, obvious questions I haven't even begun to explore.
I don't have any relation to Chisel but the answer basically said you can take advantage of the Scala ecosystem to create hardware designs. That includes the ability to write arbitrary Scala to generate parameterized designs and the ability to create chisel libraries and publishing them as if they were regular Scala libraries. If you don't like Scala (like me) none of this matters for a "from scratch" design.
oh you don't say! same goes for writing.
Yes I know about the odd uninstaller. I included it anyway because I want to make it easy for everyone to try my app and to cleanly remove it if they don't like it. I personally feel offended if some trial app wants to stick around on my MacBook so I thought it'd be a matter of honor to make my app behave better :)

The app itself will switch between Apple's built-in and its internal driver for you when you plug in or unplug the headphones. That way, my driver is only used if you use headphones which makes sure that I don't waste any CPU usage (and hence battery life) when you don't actually use headphones.

Thanks for the praise :) Please take your time to try everything out and you can always just click "Continue Trial" as often as you like ... ^^ This too, is me trying to fix what annoys me with regular time-limited trials which always seem to expire one day before I get the time to look at them...
The naming I assume comes from Sequel Pro. It sounds a lot better than SQLite database management tool 2.0
If the value is directly set by the end user then it's impossible to manipulate. Only if it is impossible to manipulate the end user. Aka there is nothing in the system to prevent fraud or any other pump and dump scheme you can come up with. So no, with no fraud controls in place Bitcoin does nothing to eliminate inflated values, and really can't unless they have come up with a technological solution to lying.

An example of a bubble before the SEC was created, and in fact lead to its creation.

The rising share prices encouraged more people to invest; people hoped the share prices would rise further. Speculation thus fueled further rises and created an economic bubble.
For a second there I thought ..... no she's not. It's just a "group of experienced entrepreneurs" building her site.
There are so many "How do I learn to program?" questions because:

1. Asking the question on HN is a hell of a lot less painful than actually sitting down to learn to program.

2. Reading the answers feels a hell of a lot more like progress than eight lines of code that still doesn't work after four hours.

3. Programmers are more willing to answer "How do I learn to program?" questions than cellists are willing to answer "How do I learn to play the cello?" questions.
> What I find most ironic about the article is that they seem to go out of their way to induce many of their readers to react emotionally to the article.

I think "out of their way" is a stretch, but, of course it did. It had to present the topic in a way that would be compelling to readers. If you think anthropogenic global warming is bunkem, then the use of terms like "denier" is going to be a trigger for you. If you think that vaccines cause autism, then you'll find similar terminology, and have a similar trigger.

Regardless of the issue or which side of the issue that you're on, if you had an emotional reaction to the article, then that mostly just proved it right on the actual subject that it was talking about: that people react emotionally, not logically, when their convictions are confronted.
Eh, squarfootage is /really cheap/ some places. Right now, it'd be much easier for me to find cheap squarfootage than cheap wattage.

Unfortunately, there is something of an inverse correlation between the cost of squarefootage and the cost of bandwidth; especially at the small end of the scale, bandwidth is /extremely cheap/ here in the caltrain corridor of Silicon Valley. Squarefootage is /extremly expensive/ so you are partly correct.

The thing of it is, though, there's fiber along nearly all railroad right of ways. Now, getting that fiber off of the railroad right of way and into your data center, that can be a rather large capital expense, and often when you get out in the boonies there are fewer players in the secondary markets; less competition means you pay more per unit bandwidth. But the ongoing cost, especially if you use a lot of bandwidth and can bypass most of the middlemen? might not be that high.

Even in Silicon Valley, where bandwidth is cheap and squarefootage is expensive, power is even more expensive. With a very small increase in capital cost I could make my own servers 8x more space efficient; with current power costs? most data centers won't let me go any more dense than I am now, so there's no point. (Depending on the cooling system the data centers use, it can be harder to deal with one really hot rack than two racks that are each half as hot.) So really, giving me half the space and twice the power would work out just fine.
The main difference between then and now is the heavy metal guitar solo used as the background music.
The article doesn't extrapolate Android sales based on the current growth trajectory; in fact it specifically warns against doing that. The iOS growth shows a discernible pattern, whereas the Android chart doesn't yet do that.

However the analogy to Vista doesn't strike me as valid, for a number of reasons. Vista is a version of Windows much like Froyo is a version of Android. Vista's growth was diffused by people not buying new computers; not because they chose computers other than those running Windows. Additionally computer manufacturers were more willing to continue to release computers still running XP; this is not analogous to the phone world (there is no demand for older versions of Android).

I guess what you are possibly suggesting is that Android adoption has been based on reasons apart from a desire to own an Android device; this may or may not be true. We won't be able to judge that until the wave of adopting users have come off their current contracts and are able to upgrade to a new phone. However this article specifically warns against extrapolating the Android data points as they currently are shown.

isn't this whole make-your-own-currency, digital or not, like that Ithaca HOURs thing?
Unrelated to the story, but interesting:

According to a counter on its website, Humble Bundle has generated over $730,000 in sales on 147,000 bundles ($4.96 per bundle). Linux users pay the most at $11.72 per bundle, Mac users are in the middle at $6.31 and Windows users bring up the rear at $3.95.

Linux users clearly want games. I dropped $10 myself for the Frozenbyte bundle.
The slider defaults to tip Humble Bundle 15%... seems fair. We implemented something similar at Kiva where the users could optionally donate 10% but it was defaulted in... 85ish% of people made the donation.

Who pays for payment processing? The slider indicates that 100% of the money goes either to the developer, charity, or Humble Bundle.
"Risking" a downvote for a basically "me-too" reply, I would also be very interested in such a comparison or even a simple blog post of the experience (good or bad) with alternatives, especially disco.
a ton of useful conversations and media from my wife while we were waiting for her US Visa, and other family matters.
But at an individual level, the alternative of not outsourcing is worse for the person that would receive the wage.

At a macro level, I’d also like to point at the China - US outsourcing story, and how it’s going regarding hollowing out of industries, IP and know-how transfer, and plain old money transfer. It’s not going too bad for China for the moment...
They do, but Boeing gets about double the military activity of Airbus.
I’ve not heard of Telegram’s crypto criticisms, and I follow tech. Why would I know to just go read it?

It’s almost as if your cognitive time series is not the same as everyone’s.

just do it. i deleted facebook two years ago.
If they can’t manage to charge $1 per user per month for their service then perhaps their service isn’t worth anything at all.
Just look at the "Advanced usage" https://github.com/MatteoGuadrini/fontpreview#advanced-usage chapter to understand the potential of this library
Jack Ma failed to show up for his own reality show.

He disappeared.
> Yet governments insist newbuilds to be on electric heating

Not only that, but they insist that almost all vehicle transportation should be electric in maximum 10-15 years.
I’d rather take the service which is not hosted on US servers over one that is, given that I can verify neither of their server code.
Your parenthetical is why I commented - astrophotography isn’t just more advanced visual astronomy, it’s really a separate hobby.
I wish I had a dollar for every irrational (extremely emotionally charged!) response to this same question when I have posed it.
to be fair - this cool, but the heavy lifting part is actually the interesting one
Remember, a meritocracy means that the best at ‘X’ rise to the top and continue to duke it out while leaving the 99.9% behind.

When you are interacting with VCs, remember that their goal is to capture as much value in $ as possible. Our entire system rewards those who have money by giving them the resources to hire the best to help them get more money.

That is why wealth distribution follows a Pareto distribution.

Ergo, unless you are the founder, assume your shares are worth zero, realize your skills are worth double what you think they are, and put your extra negotiated salary in compounding investment accounts (after enough time, you may join the 1% too!).
Economically worthless is a very bad phrasing, but the concept is very real (economists go with non-excludable, but that has an underwhelming impact on laypeople), software authors have a really hard time capturing the value they create.
"mostly Western mostly white settlers"

There you go. Rationalizing an intent to subject people to ethnic based displacement. (People who at this point are of mixed descent of every Jewish community, including those displaced INTO Israel from the Arab world)
The nutty valuations will continue so long as the fed maintains ZIRP and buys $120b worth of bonds each month.
Hopefully it's not alien: isolation or dead space, or he may have trouble sleeping at night.
You may have your priorities backwards. An assault on human dignity is far worse than frequent outages, especially for a free service.
There were a few Clojure project ideas put forward by LispNYC (http://lispnyc.org/soc), but LispNYC's application to be a mentoring organization was rejected.
There is probably over a million products on Amazon. Is there any store in the world that offers a bigger selection? The only problem I have with the search is that they need something more NewEgg-like for searching for computer stuff.
What's your most important sources of traffic?

Google and various Twitter application directories.

Do you spend any money on getting users?

None so far, but am looking to change that in the summer. I'm getting married in a couple of weeks, and then honeymoonining, so things are getting a bit hectic, but once those have calmed down I'm thinking of experimenting with Adwords :)
It's sad to me that companies get priority for names, even when people have had the names for years before the company existed.

If she really was using their name improperly, Tumblr would have been within their rights... But they STILL should have contacted her first and let her try to explain. Yanking it out from under her and selling it to someone else is just rude at best, and criminal at worst. (I'm assuming they sold it... If they didn't, they're dumber than I think. This kind of BS isn't worth it unless they get something from it.)
As an interviewer this gives me absolutely no useful information! The questions I ask have to be relevant to your ability to do the job. Brain teasers and opinions about languages aren't.

Now, if you have, e.g., C++ and Python on your resume and I ask you to compare how easy/difficult it is to do a certain operation using either language, that can give me insight into your experience using them. Just asking what your most/least favorite language feature is doesn't.

ps,
why would you ask an interviewer a language question?

Amazon is trying this (poorly IMO) with the Kindle by offering a slightly subsidized model that will show ads at certain points. I say poorly though, because the subsidized price isn't much lees than the normal price, at least making it seem pointless to me to trade $30 now for ads for the rest of the life of the device...
It's pretty easy to see who is a top star (because they have continuous highest-quality output), and who will never deliver anything worthwhile.

The trouble is the continuum between those two extremes. This domain is dominated by politics, endless grant applications, bureaucracy. Nobody can really tell where you belong in this continuum, maybe not even you yourself. And I also don't believe that academia is the best place to pursue your ideas anymore, anyway.
> It seems like he wants to force people to be exposed to diverse/opposing views... isn't that kind of the opposite of authoritarian?

Force = authoritarian.
So, I should use BizTalk Server[1][2] for my website. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but I get the feeling it will be a hard sell.

My support issue was that I had a dead box and needed it to be available again. Their system thought it was up, but I could not reach it. There was no live support, just submit a ticket and pray. They need real-time support. I’m fine paying for it. Hell, bill me per minute, but I needed eyes in the issue. Instead of waiting for some unknown time for a support response, I deleted my stuff and rebuilt everything. If this were backing a commercial offering of mine, this would be unacceptable.
I was bored so I clicked on the key proof in your profile and it says it's been revoked.
I use Parallels. What is the benefit of QEMU compared to Parallels?
I can tell you the difference between me being a user and not being a user is this exact feature.

I can buy stocks on my own in different quantities to make my own “ETF” (granted not at fractional share prices)

But if I could bundle it and make a small commission for it, you’d have my business for the rest of my life

Also, what an awesome incentive that would be for me to share your product around with others who would invest in it! I’d literally be getting paid to do it!
How so? SpaceX is a proven launch system at this point, ULA has plenty of business, and SLS isn't going anywhere soon, so there aren't many options for new entrants.
it's difficult to keep up with the design expectations of the modern web with just HTML and CSS.

It's possible but extremely difficult to create a "modern" experience with just html. Just like how we don't build houses with mud-bricks anymore even though it's easier than steel and wood.
Thanks! Let me know if you need anything ;)
Two typos made it extraordinarily amazing; if you were politely referring to those: I edited the post.

However, even with the correct units I am astonished and gratified with the improvement.
You have to come to photoshop with a BIG idea that really excites you. Don't open up photoshop until that idea comes.

Form follows function. But function follows Idea.

The way I see it Photoshop is like the desert part of the process anyway. It's fun designing the site once you have a strong idea leading it.
That still doesn't answer the question of how. Anyone know anything regarding the details of impementation?
I'm killing most of my material and time investment into gaming so I can devote it toward music. While that isn't quite as severe as abandoning old projects, it still seems necessary in the same way that the article discusses. It is like I have to prove to myself that I can remake myself, that I can be about something completely new, and leave the old self behind.
I guess this is just a case of cognitive dissonance. The spokesperson realized that what the police did was wrong and instead of admitting it he will make up "reasons" to make everything look alright. This is probably enhanced by it being hard to say "My fellow coworkers made a mistake." and the being part of an institution that works solely on authority.
The "thousands" figure is part of the bullshit. Clinton did it with about 1,300 people. That is far from "thousands". They talk about this in the article.

And I'm curious what your experience and understanding of how that all works is to be able to say something like "10% of that should have been enough". I'm not being antagonistic. I'm genuinely curious if you understand the role that all people on this trip play, and how 90% of them could, in your opinion, be eliminated.
I agree, I think of it as A/B testing to better ideas. But there's always the danger of never shipping anything.

An unofficial possibility to flex is good but I'm pretty certain that the end result is that people do not "flex" back the overtime fully.
The very fact that this list needs to exist demonstrates the problem.
Currently, I prefer [toml](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) for configuration. Both languages can be exported to JSON.
Also perhaps worth mentioning Baserock (http://wiki.baserock.org) which can reproducibly build an OS from sources in git and deploy the resulting artifact to various popular targets, kvm, virtualbox, openstack etc.
There were programs for removing the DRM from iTunes files. I used one successfully. Maybe they don't work anymore? I don't know.
