One of the reasons the founders left was that FB wanted to put ads and track users, and didn't even want to try to make a Business paid version like WhatsApp proposed.
Wouldn't such news coverage only worsen the problem? After all, the attackers would receive a kind of confirmation of their goals.
I think you are greatly overestimating what deep learning can do. In the 90s, we could recognise digits accurately. Now we can do the same with traffic signs even in bad weather etc. That is exactly the kind of progress that we have made in 14 years. And let's not forget this is a manually tuned algorithm for a particular problem.

It's great progress, but it is also a far cry from what humans can do and there is no clear path at all to get there - currently.
It's not only hard, it's impossible to play with my touchpad. It has some kind of anti-interference detection so that it can't be moved/clicked shortly after typing on the keyboard, "smart-check" they call it. This "feature" can't be turned off completetly! It just has a slider going from min-max where max requires almost one second delay after typing and min only prevents simultaneous motion/typing, which is what you need if you want to move+shoot simultaneously in this game. Lenovo+synaptics crap.
All depends on how big the regions are and how many schools they build. My regional suburbia high school had 350 per class.
Most of these attack vectors just mean a great amount of a specific traffic of some sort. Traffic volume is not something that you can, or would want to, eliminate.

You have to somehow identify and separate the unwanted requests from you regular traffic. That's why these cases are unique and needs to be handled manually, in cooperation with your uplink(s).
The tool has one critical function: to generate files that calculate dependencies properly.

It does not do this. Been using it since 2.6. Get one of their super-tweaky ever-changing commands wrong and it doesn't generate dependencies AT ALL on some platforms. Sure, your project builds. And it's also a poisoned dart trap for anyone who attempts to modify your code.

A quick skim of the bug list is enough to make any truly-fastidious engineer's sphincter clinch. When you have over 1000 bugs that aren't even assigned to a dev ... in a dev tool ... hoo boy.

DDoS attacks and similar things are of very little significance to people who don't understand what they are. In their minds, all the damage is on virtual space and nothing is real. And they're somehow sure that all the damage done will be fixed soon.

+1! (ok with the downvotes)
It seems the author originally published this in 2005; reaching the bottom: "Morrisdale, PA Sept 1, 2005." On the linking page, http://www.ranum.com/security/computer_security/index.html, it states, "(originally written for certifiedsecuritypro.com)."

Might the submitter have meant to make a point about the predictions made by the author, ten years ago? For example, "My prediction is that the "Hacking is Cool" dumb idea will be a dead idea in the next 10 years."
OSX is still miles behind windows when it comes to debugging.

I dislike windows with a passion (having had to code on it for ~5 years was torture), but I'm with you: debugging with Visual Studio was the best I've ever had (and I've coded on OSX, Windows, Linux, and other stranger things).
It's defined by the federal government by region and classification. The classifications are pretty formalized as part of the visa process.
I will miss Delicious, I would post a link then use Mechanical Turk to have about 80 to 200 other people also post the same link, then the link would be duplicated on other sites that show "popular" links, social aggregator sites would create a "conversation" about the link, etc. Pretty soon you have 100 sites that link back to yours. Now that is all going away.
I'd love to see this technology applied to augmented reading / writing (i.e. look up any word/person/place on a printed page).

I should point out that I had never made an app before giving this a try! Beginners luck!
I have developed an algorithm that has a strong strike rate for picking outcomes of matches.

My app/website simply provides this information to users for free.

One of the good things about affiliate relationships in the betting niche is that they offer lifetime earnings if you go down that route. They also offer fairly strong CPAs if you negotiate with the brands you drive a lot of traffic to.

> Plenty of sites that were archived have their whole UI in flash, so for those sites the pages are pretty much empty pages without flash.

Nevertheless, it's still a smaller problem than, for example, broken links.

Firstly, the number of sites relying completely on Flash is relatively small, eg. compared to those which rely on hyperlinks (indexes or reading lists).

Second, there is less urgency to fix Flash sites compared to mitigating link rot: as long as the SWF content is archived, it can be converted/re-implemented at a later date. On the other hand, links are failing all the time, which requires immediate, persistent action (crawling).

Thirdly, there is a subjective argument about whether Flash sites are part of the Web or not, and hence whether this is much of a problem. At some point, an archive must draw a line and say "this is not Web content"; for example, archiving videos, or FTP sites, or Linux ISOs, or the content referred to by torrents or magnet links, or Windows EXEs, etc. It's an arguable choice to ignore Flash content completely. It's also an arguable choice to archive the Flash content but not care whether it runs. Of course it's also legitimate to want Flash to work seamlessly in the browser, but that's not the only position.

> I'm not aware of any JS-powered flash implementation

There are a few. A quick Google search reveals https://github.com/tobytailor/gordon/wiki and http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/ . At a stretch, Free Software, non-JS players like https://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ , http://lightspark.github.io/ and http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/wiki/ could be ported to emscripten.

> or how that would solve anything since presumably that would come with all of the drawbacks that the non-JS powered flash implementations of today have (and that we are so keen on getting rid of).

Of course they have all the same problems (and more, since they're not fully compatible); but that's irrelevant. Backwards compatibility only requires that the stuff we used to do is still possible. If we send an un-screen-readable, un-keyboard-navigable mess of a Flash site to a perfectly compatible JS-based Flash implementation, we should hope to get an un-screen-readable, un-keyboard-navigable mess as well. As an analogy, it's a good idea to write an emulator for the Sinclair Spectrum, so that Spectrum games remain playable on new hardware. This does not mean that a) emulating a Spectrum game must produce modern-looking 3D, immersive, high-def, 24-bit colour graphics with surround sound; or b) that the existence of a Spectrum emulator should make the Spectrum a valid target platform for new commercial game development.
The OP wrote a great post some time ago (it was posted on HN and was probably how I discovered him): "The Forgotten Job of a Data Science: Editing" http://www.john-foreman.com/blog/the-forgotten-job-of-a-data... theme of that post is similar to the one here:

> In a business, predictive modeling and accuracy is a means, not an end. What’s better: A simple model that’s used, updated, and kept running? Or a complex model that works when you babysit it but the moment you move on to another problem no one knows what the hell it’s doing? Robert Holte argued simplicity versus accuracy in his rather interesting and thoroughly-titled paper “Very Simple Classiﬁcation Rules Perform Well on Most Commonly Used Datasets.” In that paper, the "air quotes" AI model he used was a single decision stump – one rule. In code, it’d basically be an IF statement. He simply looked through a training dataset and found the single best feature for splitting the data in reference to the response variable and used that to form his rule. The scandalous part of Holte’s approach: his results were pretty good!

The OP has a book (the link is on his site) that I've bought...it purports to teach non-technical people how to do machine learning via Excel...I haven't gone through all of the exercises, mostly because I shudder at having to open Excel to do any kind of data work, but the mental framework that he builds, demonstrating via examples in Excel, is pretty remarkable...I think it's admirable that a data scientist is doing such significant work in demystifying (and maybe even devaluing) his own profession.
> But food delivery? That worked just fine before those companies arrived.

Depends where you live, for me, it worked for pizza and that's about it. I was unable to get pretty much anything else delivered locally, now I've got a few dozen options. Most restaurants just wouldn't bother hiring additional staff to do delivery.

Even big chain fastfood places like Subway and McDonalds weren't available for delivery here before Uber Eats picked them up.
Most of the data on Bloomberg or any other market data terminal is going to from another data source. Either from an exchange, ratings agency, SEC reports, price reporting agencies, etc. They’ll also have proprietary data that are exclusive to their platform.
I don't know what's the model in Italy, but I know for sure that in Spain they hire their workers. In fact, they've been against Deliveroo and Glovo when the debate surfaced again, complaining about the unfair advantage those two have by not following the law.
This looks amazing! Can us dinosaurs on macOS Catalina expect a compatible build in the future?
ID.me is dogshit. Just another technocratic hurdle to dissuade people from getting what they're owed. Looking forward to the inevitable hack.
For things like SaaS I don't see that as too harmful to society. However when the goal of spending more than revenue (funded by VC or PE) is to achieve a monopoly over that market by driving out competitors it sounds like a case for regulatory intervention.

I have a comment about your site:

(full disclosure: I don't have any expertise about marketing, or entrepreneurship or anything at all really)

This may be my stupid showing through but on the front page, it looks like a piece of software that simply schedules tweets. That is a useful tool, but not something i'd pay $20 a month for considering I would probably just do it myself.

It would be good if there were a little user story or something about how this service will make my tweeting easier and save me a ton of time during my daily life on the world-wide-inter-tweets... Also, it would be good to have a price on the front page. I'm hesitant to click the 'try for free' button, because if I like it, it might be too expensive and then I would be sad.
Wait… Apple was collecting the location data? I thought it was just being synced to your computer. Anyone know either way? A reference would help, as well.
Absolutely agreed. What Tumblr did was rotten, but we live in an age where people are genuinely disappeared on a daily basis, and we've even had posts to HN regarding missing persons. It's very misleading to use the word to mean something different given the amount of proper usage it receives.
Lol. Sold a bunch of AMZN last week to buy AAPL, just before AAPL announced earnings. Looks like I should have kept AMZN.

As a Canadian, the whole currency conversion thing adds another source of risk.
> Remember how Apple guys used to be? Hip, smart, creative -- perhaps a subtle hint of smugness and self satisfaction -- but fiercely free thinkers?

Uh, no? Thats the marketing image that apple always portrayed as a 'lifestyle' brand. Some amount of their customers certainly liked to think of themselves that way, but simply owning a premium piece of hardware does not make you any of those things.

Nowadays apple is a wildly successful consumer products manufacturer, owning the same phone as all of your friends does not make you a 'fiercely free thinker', any more than having a blueberry iMac in 1996 did.

Thanks for this! I use the built-in Chrome syncing now, but I never figured out how to grab some of my tagged bookmarks.
Cool. I've discovered several other apps like this in the past week or two. Is yours still up?
3D video telephony.
I'd be interested in hearing more about what you mean? Are you saying that there is simultaneously more economic freedom and more regulation? I'd believe it but I'm curious to see a more detailed picture of what that looks like.
>>>Who wants to be a clone maker?

Given the success of Windows, I'd say many wouldn't mind being one as long as the money flowed in, as it did with Windows.

A certain base UI is needed so that the user experience is mostly consistent across hardware. When you get to tablets, there's no need for the four buttons required by a handset -- yet there's nothing in the current software that does that.

Google would be wise to let vendors differentiate with the main home screen as a sop to HTC and Motorola's customizations. It's the main home screen that makes people notice a handset from a distance on a store shelf.
Of course they do. That's the problem with democracies. They all turn into a cesspit of idiocy unless you keep control.
End users think in terms of screens, if you can provide them with a fully functioning ui then you can get valuable feedback about useability up front. The client knows in short order that they are getting all of the features they want because the get to touch and feel the system. After I adopted this method my project change orders slowed to a trickle.
thanks, see you soon.
>>>Remember Android is an open platform.

That might be so, but the Google bits of it aren't. And if Google says its UI must be used in order to get the Google bits, that's where the conflict will begin. Owners of the Archos 5 Internet Tablet are well aware of what Android minus Google is like.
Your sentiment is healthy, but you should distinguish between "we don't know of a way to do X" and "X is impossible under the current laws of physics". The former is like etching sub-wavelength silicon. The latter is like moving faster than the speed of light.

> new physics had been learned, and it had not been in his physics book.

Again, there is a difference between learning new techniques and phenomena running on top of known physical law, and learning new fundamental laws. When engineers say "new physics", they refer to the former, but when physicists say "new physics", they refer to the latter. And there hasn't been any new physics, more or less, since the 60's.

The computational limits are thought to be encoded in the fundamental laws, in a way very analogous to the limiting speed c.

I think you might be missing the point. It's funny that she got a free cab ride or a forklift driving lesson, but the fact that men are caving to her is making her task harder, not easier.
Makes me think of this Quora question: Is it true that size of the portion of the web that Google indexes is actually smaller than sum of sizes of the contents of everyone's Gmail? (http://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-size-of-the-portion-of-...)

Is it fair to say that the size of the "private" web (what Greplin aims to index) is, in aggregate, larger than the public web? And are there any amazing things that become possible once you've indexed a large portion of that private web?

Hey. ClubHouse recently launched "Tipping" as a way for users to pay content creators. What's interesting is that ClubHouse is using Stripe as a payments provider and not the in-app purchase (IAP) functionality from Apple and Google. Therefore avoiding the 15%-30% Apple/Google "tax" most mobile developers has to pay.

Does anyone know what it is in the terms of service from Apple and Google that allows them to do this? Purely online services with no offline component like ClubHouse is typically not allowed to use any other payments provider other than IAP from Apple/Google.
This is a very encouraging message, and we are soon starting a bunch of work to integrate better with MPI and having better DArray support, etc.

Isn't that almost exactly the wrong conclusion here?

They built a brand new tug, more than twice as powerful as the most powerful existing one in Alaska.

They paid for the work to be checked, and then arguably a subcontractor used out of spec parts

They used a route that was less safe for they rig because it was safer for the workers.

No fan of oil companies, but I'm not sure this story supports your conclusions.
How difficult is it to keep the right amount of bitcoin and USD in deposit? ... P.S. I'm just making all this up. I've never worked in payments or accounting.

Mt. Gox had a financial control problem less complex than that faced by the typical supermarket. A supermarket has cash going in and out, multiple cash registers, multiple cashiers on different shifts, credit cards, checks, benefit cards, and automated checkout lanes. That's just the front side - there's a comparable operation at the back, where merchandise comes in and is accounted for. A big supermarket has a higher transaction rate than Mt. Gox did.

If a $10 bill goes missing in a supermarket, the management will know at the end of the day, and will probably be able to figure out where it went. This is routine cash control. It's a solved problem.

Mt. Gox had no financial controls; we know that from press reports. None. They don't even seem to have had a general ledger. This is rare in real businesses, but it's common in fraud schemes. Fraudsters don't want accounting controls, with everything they're stealing on the record.

Anyway, on Jan 3, we'll hear more. That this story came from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police is significant. The police haven't said anything until now, except that they were investigating. That silence has ended. Arrests may be announced. There's a good chance that Mark Karpeles is about to experience the standard 21-day interrogation used in Japan.
It used to be that you paid for the phone, then you paid for service. You can still do that, if you're prepared to pay $400-$1000 for a phone. (Except Google's Nexus 4 was reasonably priced.)

But the usual method for the last decade was that you paid for a 24 month contract, and pay a lump up front that paid for the differentiation of the low-end phones (free, or 99c, or $50) from the high end phones ($100 - $300). The rest of the price was invisibly wrapped into the contract -- and there would likely be a hefty early termination fee if you wanted to walk away from the contract.

Recently, phone companies have been trying to extract even more money by offering a non-contract service contract (cancel any time, no fee) along with a rent-to-own plan on the phone (pay a chunk up front, then after 24 payments it's yours.) For some reason this does not result in a discount for the service plan...
A great bunch of papers. I read some of the LaTeX related one's as I spent a good part of my youth trying to tame it!

I'm pessimistic about software in general. When computers were the province of the technically sophisticated, people wrote software for technically sophisticated users. Now, technically sophisticated users are an insigni ficant niche market. Standards are being
driven by the marketplace, which cares only about the masses. So, mathematicians have no place in the brave new world of computing. They will have to make do with the same ashy but technically impoverished tools that the little old lady in Peoria uses.
So, you can display video animations on the web, but there's still no good way to display a mathematical equation.

The blog post Mann is suing over is https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/football-and-hockey-ma... . I think it should be protected by the 1st Amendment. In arguing that the Supreme Court should take up the case, Justice Alito wrote this:

"Climate change has staked a place at the very center of this Nation’s public discourse. Politicians, journalists, academics, and ordinary Americans discuss and debate various aspects of climate change daily — its causes, extent, urgency, consequences, and the appropriate policies for addressing it. ... The core purpose of the constitutional protection of freedom of expression is to ensure that all opinions on such issues have a chance to be heard and considered. I do not suggest that speech that touches on an important and controversial issue is always immune from challenge under state defamation law, and I express no opinion on whether the speech at issue in this case is or is not entitled to First Amendment protection. But the standard to be applied in a case like this is immensely important."
