But yeah, it's mindboggling. The internal hardware is largely the same anyway, why are companies throwing away a chance to get ahead of the competition and use the same shoddy keyboards/touchpads everyone hates?
Our server connects to the Gmail API on our backend. Using the SDK will let you add your UI to the top section of gmail (like your app does) but also get the currently signed in user. You'll still need to implement your own oauth flow. Alternatively, if you are targeting chrome only, you can use chromes users api to make authenticated requests directly to the gmail API with no backend needed.
This is the Cities: Skylines I was looking for. :x
If a server just wants a hash, then that hash becomes the password. MITM attacks still work as long as all server credentials are public. EX: A fake wifi hotspot wants to MITM a connection and can fake any public information (public key's, IP's, DNS, etc.)

Further, a fake website can sidestep this by not using a secured connection and just faking the UI.

Point is the person didn't decide to break DRM to make a profit. They did it, they have ads on their site. Maybe they don't have ads, but they get a job offer because of their ability to break DRM. It's very easy for the lawyers to stretch what it means to make profit. Perhaps someone sends them the new iphone13z for free and to break. All that is "profit".

Update: They do cite GitLab. Now I guess my confusion as a GitLab user is they don't sell me on what is new/differentiate their customized offering.

This product looks like a poorly rebranded GitLab.

Why don't they cite GitLab as the front-end web application/real workhorse here?
Microsoft Surface Pro 4
One Decision that changed my life
A parent-centered approach to parenting.
I'm not sure you could call the Surface Book a hybrid form factor. It just looks like a laptop until you lop the screen off.
That was an epic launch. Docking the phone and using desktop apps, and then the removable Surface Book screen, wow. It eclipsed the Surface Pro 4 launch, which is what I expect most people were most hyped about. I have to go back and remind myself what changed there...
From a usability perspective, it's probably because dealing with keys that can't just be memorized is hard for most people.
XMonad, or any other tiling WM, would be lovely for tablet mode too, but probably requires some work.
I spent about 1 hour in the Microsoft Store playing with the SP3. I loved toying with it, but I knew that if I wanted to use it for serious software development I would probably dock it with a real keyboard. The Surface Book seems to be the answer. Truly amazing.
This looks like a really great way to take prototypes into production! It's incredible how intuitive it is.
This article is begging for a TL;DR summary. 18 paragraphs before they get to the first mention of Ethereum or blockchain.
Would this not still be phishable? All an attacker would have to do is make a website look enough like the real thing, then use a plain <form> element and capture the submitted form content.

I would think an out of browser app might work better for that task.

Yup. Every hero( read project ) needs a villain( read risky opposite ) Then inject a bit of marketing and major push via partnered or paid off media campaigns and baby - you have a stew goin'.

I know that first hand and see this as nothing new. Digg, Reddit or whichever are not immune from pressures to perform fiscally. This is probably just a first step, let's see if it works for them.
> Really? It's ten times as much work to implement microservices?

No, it says the _servers_ have to do tenfold more work, not _you_ to implement them. Whether that's correct or not is another discussion.

He also states his belief in the principles of the US Constitution, a document that has been heavily edited using amendments. We do not follow the original copy anymore as we have progressed and found different ways to run the country. Additionally, like any text, we can interpret the document differently depending on the bias of who is reading it. The second of three commas in the 2nd amendment makes the amendment have different meanings on who you ask. Pro-gun says the comma seperates the right of the militia and the right to bear arms. Anti-gun says the comma doesn't mean anything and only the militia have a right to bear arms.

The whole idea of the New Testament which is what Christians follow, is supposed to be an amendment to the Old Testament. The only issue is that there is no copy of the Old Testament with the repealed parts striked out. One could argue that the Old Testament is the book of law but the New Testament is the guidebook on how to follow the law, whats ok to break and whats not.

Very rarely do we have situations in life where we have absolute laws and absolute consequences. Marijuana is federally illegal but legal in certain states. Speeding can get you anywhere from a warning to a hefty ticket depending on how the cop feels about you. You can hem and haw about how Christians don't follow the Bible to the letter but it really doesn't matter. Everything progresses (and regresses) over time, changing from the original intended meaning to the new interpreted meaning and maybe back again.

The server has all the inputs except the password and enough information to validate if it has guessed the right password. So password guessing/dictionary attacks are still viable, especially with state level adversary. BUT users are given a false sense of security because "the password is never sent to the server". So we can expect users to (on average) use worse passwords and reuse passwords inappropriately.

IMO, if you are going to use client certificates you should be just be using standard client certificates with whatever your OS provides to generate them.

Yeah, there are plenty of authentication systems out there for this kind of thing, and preferably something like SRP would be used.
"relatively new"? I've seen lots of places use little http endpoints for discrete tasks. Whether the endpoint lives inside a shared container or has its own embedded server is an implementation detail.
What sucks about it is that the EU, rather than presenting one set of rules and regulations to follow, and, say, allowing you to host data within the EU to be compliant, seems to have kicked the question down to individual European countries, each of which might do something different.

And you wonder why it's tougher to do startups in Europe...

I'm pleased by what the ruling says about the NSA and the pressure it puts on the need for reform, but less than pleased about the practical implications.
I thought the reason involved the FAA requiring SpaceX's to prove that the first stage could be guided accurately to the general pad area instead of plowing into a populated region. Landing on a barge out at sea reduces the risk of the latter.

Neoprene sleeves are pretty inexpensive and would afford a little more protection.
I don't know about that. I think that would be a pretty big waste of time and resources. We're already controlling robots on Mars from Earth and anything they would be wanting to test on the body could be done in Earth's orbit.

I'm also fairly certain they're already quite knowledgeable regarding the effects of weak gravity on the human body.
Every genius makes it more complicated.

> To me, OS/X's quality has been slipping,

I'm amused to see the 'OS/X' typo still lives on, more than a decade since OS/2's been relevant :)

On topic, I've just upgraded to the latest version of OS X and it really seems rock solid. Fastest, most stable, and most secure version yet. Still a bit of an evolutionary dead end though, in that there have been no moves to add touch support beyond multitouch trackpads. I admire their vision with keeping iOS and OS X separate, but given touch is so ubiquitous elsewhere, I can't imagine it'll be long before Windows users are genuinely surprised and baffled by the lack of touch screens in Apple laptops...
Title change seems off. The original title is better.
First tfs, now perforce. The prevalence of git is clearly putting a lot of pressure on "enterprise" source control systems. It makes a lot of sense to just co-opt it and pull it into the rest of their ecosystem.

At my org we've been trying to move towards an oss style pull request flow for tools and infrastructure projects but meeting a little resistance because "not enterprise." Getting that workflow into one of these systems really unsticks the problem.
Disclaimer: I work at Tableau, but I don't claim to represent them, and I'm not in tech support or sales.

Two things that are likely: If you think the statistical tooling is limited you may not be aware that Tableau offers R integration built in. So if you're comfortable in R you can probably build what you want.

If you find it slow, it may be something that tech support can help out with (changing config settings, or reworking your dashboards to be more performant). You should email whoever manages your account, or hit up https://www.tableau.com/support/request and include your contact info.

You can also email me (email in profile) and I'll get back to you from my work account with the right contacts.

This is great. I'm testing it on an old Core2Duo machine at the moment. Would it be possible for the 3d model to fall back to wireframe when rotating if necessary? I'm getting about 1fps.

Some buttons to jump to standard views would also be nice, especially for slow machines. (Plan view, isometric views.)
I had the same skeptical question in my head while reading the landing page / ad.

But, I will say I super miss P4's 'timeline'. I haven't used Perforce tools for many years now, but last time I did it was way way easier & faster to figure out who wrote a line of code than it is in git today. And overall, the UI was much better then than any git based UI is today. So, it might be hard for them to explain to git users, but personally, I'm open to the possibility they have some value added.

There is a (somewhat) practical version of this implemented as a bookmarklet: http://www.supergenpass.com/

I used it for years (for unimportant things) before switching to a password manager. It's technically not secure against a malicious site that sniffs for the existence of the bookmarklet window, but it's a good way to get slightly better security on sites you'd other reuse the same password for.
I have been skeptical after a lot of Microsoft misses but the Surface Book Pro might just put Microsoft on the high road. Splitting up the hardware breaks new ground. If I understood it correctly, the GPU is in the keyboard which you can attach to get more power. In detached mode the screen itself has an i7 processor that's plenty powerful. So they managed to let you hot-plug the GPU while the OS is running?
Why? This isn't true of the current Surface.
"That MAV experience does not sound appealing at all."

I would have to agree, though once in orbit the standing up/sitting down thing doesn't matter as much as the stretching. I don't imagine the rest would bother the crew that much, as they had to deal with it just to get to Mars in the first place.
Seems like the solution already exist : password managers.

But yes, having small memorizable passwords is much more convenient.
The Surface Book feels like the second coming to me. This is everything i wanted them to produce and they delivered perfectly. Thanks Surface Team!
Well, this is the usual thing about whether you're worried about the NSA or you're worried about more mundane threats.

If your threat model is "government coercion," sure, stay out of the US. But if your threat model is something like "an attacker broke into a cloud provider employee's account" or "the provider didn't take software updates", you're probably safer on the world's larger, more-staffed, more-well-run, etc. services, which are largely (though not entirely) in the US.

The best outcome here, I think, would involve serious, secure competitors to things like AWS being run by European countries in Europe.
but is the first myth really true?

Does anybody take into account more modern business practices of putting tens of thousands of smart people in a small geographic area? That leads to smart people breeding with smart people which seems to be a known catalyst for spectrum disorders.

Before the mid 1900s, we didn't have mass service/technical employment (read: companies requiring "smart" employees instead of interchangeable factory labor) or ease of global relocation on a whim. You'd grow up on a farm, meet someone from your town, then settle down in your own town, and the cycle would repeat for generations.
Yes I use it to script telneting into many dinky devices and changing/viewing config all in one fell swoop with expect. I also have some simple tcl/tk scripts to automate some tasks.

Yes. And I think they said that with DirectX 12 it'll split the load between GPUs when both are connected.
Your double counting the returns as future cash flows are already factored into the sale price.

Suppose you had a bond worth 2$ that paid out 1$ and is now worth 1$. That's not a paper loss of 1$.

PS: At the last auction, in 2008, the opening bid was $189,000, and medallions sold for as little as $226,000. http://www.thenewyorkworld.com/2014/01/20/taxi-medallions/

In total, TLC will be auctioning off 2,000 new medallions, 40 percent of them to drivers. (January 20, 2014) that's a significant part of the price drop.
Most of the battery mass is in the keyboard. Not sure what battery life is when you detatch the screen - they didn't say.
> Hybrids have a very different audience compared to regular laptops (ultrabooks)

Ultrabooks/Subnotebooks are already a compromise. We've made the transition from massive 30-40W CPUs to 15W-CPUs for mainstream notebook over the last 4 years, where net performance for notebooks stagnated at best (and regressed during the first year or two). Going from there to whatever hardware the Surface Book uses won't a big leap any more.
I use a much simpler version of the idea in the form of PwdHash: https://www.pwdhash.com/

Before submitting passwords to a website, they're replaced with a hashed version which incorporates the domain, so passwords are unique to each domain. (The hash isn't anything fancy, so it could definitely be modernized with scrypt or bcrypt or whatever is fashionable.)

I've used it for years and it always works well, apart from the sites that claim my password is too long. It requires no support from the website, just a simple browser extension.
Athlete's Aren't Role Models..And YOu Shouldn't Ask Them to Be
Oh I see, so this might be an "Enterprise in" and that's the "key feature." Not that I should expect a lot more on top of Git + GitLab that isn't already there.
I really like that approach, but I think it may confuse people if I phrase it like that. Maybe something like: "Swipe if you're making dinner". The biggest problem is that friction, had it been Android I can give options directly on the lock screen, maybe (hopefully) Apple would open up more as time goes on.

Thanks for the feedback and help, I'm definitely going try the lock screen method to see if people like it.
I've had a Band for most of the year and highly recommend it. Unlike watty, I think it's pretty comfortable. Admittedly it took a couple of days to get used to, but I rarely notice that it's on my wrist. The only exception being that the non-curved display does get in the way when I type on a laptop — which is very rare for me, your mileage may vary.

I'd recommend that you get a screen protector for your band, though. The weird, soft bezel around this version is extremely prone to scratches doing even the most mundane tasks.
US privacy regulations where not considered compatible with EU ones before the ruling either.

The agreement was that US companies sign a list with the US Dept. of Commerce that they considered themselves in compliance with EU regulations when handling EU citizen data and that would give legal immunity to them and their subsidiaries in the EU.

This ruling means that EU countries are now allowed to check if they are lying or not.
Not even good Apple knock-offs. The build quaility on machines like things like the ASUS Zenbook is no where near Apple, and business machines are always think/bulky. This thing is amazing.

The airplane is a terrible counterexample. The pilot does not need pretty animations, because the interface's actions are part of a de rigueur to the job. The pretties on a random app need animations, however, to help the user. The use cases are so far apart to make the comparison a bad one.
Yes, would be interesting to know how much battery is in the screen and how long it lasts when its detatched. Perhaps not that long? Maybe thats why they call the screen a clipboard.
I'd rather just use SAML, OAuth, SQRL, etc.
Challenge response schemes generally require the server to have the password in a recoverable format so that both sides can generate identical hashes. IMO the current state of things is better than it would be with 1000s of random websites with DBs full of clear-text passwords.
That would destroy security, since a compromised server could now get your password by serving malicious JavaScript...
> So they managed to let you hot-plug the GPU while the OS is running?

Is that news? I think I've seen similar setup with ExpressCard-based PCIe adapters for desktop graphics cards for a few years now. Thunderbolt also has had hotplug PCIe connections from the beginning. (Less elegant, of course, but the same engineering challenge.)
