I was initially an overly conservative investor, really couldn't accept any risk or loss (I'm young), but tracking day to day swings helped me quite a bit. Something about seeing changes every day, many of them negative, really hit home the meaningless of those changes given timescale I was operating on. I am now a much healthier investor.
That's equating "do no harm" with "do the right thing".

I don't believe the comparison stands.
Every Twitter user has jumped aboard and is using the hashtag #PorteOuverte which is intended to help Parisians find a safe place to stay during these attacks. It's even trending in Australia. This shows that Twitter is a successful news aggregation and trend following service, but also proves its failure to be a platform for meaningful communication.

A charitable reading would suggest that the parent is making a nod to behavioral genetics, which is substantially less insane.
YNAB has the concept of a "buffer", which is just the idea that you have enough in your checking account to pay for an entire month on the first of the month. That way, your bills come out of your buffer and your paychecks replenish it.

This is separate from the idea of an emergency or rainy day fund, which should be an additional 3-6 months expenses in an easy-to-access account, like a linked savings account.

I realize that if you're currently living paycheck-to-paycheck this can seem daunting. Definitely check out the video lessons on the YNAB site, and think about buying the software. There's probably a way to implement it in Quicken, but I have no idea.

Islam soils the reputation of islam. It has a massive problem of large percentages of Muslims supporting (or being okay with) violence and terrorism.

42% of young Muslims in France believe suicide bombings are justified (35% overall).

The EU does not have a common defense policy. A conventional union always has a common defense policy, but may have internally divergent economic policies, so the "U" in EU is misleading in that regard. Currently France and Britain are the only EU countries engaged in the conflict, with Turkey being a loose EU affiliate also in the conflict.
I do this in a little spreadsheet just for major items, one-off items — think plane tickets, hotels, wedding gifts, etc. A rough estimate of income and expenses per month gives me a good idea of "how long" those things cost. The extra time dimension is helpful when evaluating and considering other choices.

We would have to do a Moonshot program on renewable energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, water turbine and invent better batteries to store electricity when the renewables aren't providing power.

We'd have to make more electric cars and find a way to make them affordable to replace gas powered cars. Have electric car conversion kits to replace the engine and take out the gas tank and replace it with batteries. You got used gas powered cars as low as $500 and owners that can't afford electric cars so you have to do a government program for them to subsidize the conversion.

Getting off fossil fuels will help fight climate change as well. So it is a win-win.
Could this not also be used in the near future by, say, the LinkedIn app to identify "People You May Know"?
No, it's much simpler: in an open society it is virtually impossible to defend against terrorism. In other words, you can't stop these things, even if you really want to once they are in the planning stage. The chances of foiling the attack or the attack being successful are about even. So the only way to get rid of these attacks is to either go for some kind of root-cause and to fix the problem before it can gain a foothold or to radically chance society.

I'd hope for the former but I fear it will be the latter.
We know exactly who they are: islamists. We have video recordings where you can hear them yelling "allahu Akbar" while shooting.

Egyptian here, actually Qutb risked his life and lost it for his "cause" and there's a lot of controversy surrounding this issue and it's a recurrent hot topic in political discussions here that his unlawful detention by the military authorities and the subsequent execution might have resulted in his radicalization and him espousing more extremist views of jihadism and political violence to effect social change in the nation because he was very aware of the fact at the time that he would be executed at any point so he had maybe a "fuck it" moment and decided to screw the world he would depart involuntarily by leaving his vile and despicable writing behind as a vendetta

Citation needed. The US and Israel are 2 rather successful examples of countries born out of terrorism.
There has been plenty of communist-inspired violent terrorism. Germany's RAF, Italy's Red Brigade, Japan's United Red Army, Peru's Shining Path, Columbia's FARC, Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers, etc. etc. Saying these are not real communists is just a No True Scotsman. As soon as people start believing in utopias there's a danger that they will cross a line.
Ask HN: How do you manage passwords across your team?
We're having a bit of trouble managing passwords while keeping it secure and reasonably convenient across our development team.

We have tried a number solutions such as written notes on sealed envelopes with a logbook to access (our oldest 'system'), to an SQL database with a custom application, to a LastPass account with a shared master password.

The passwords that we are trying to manage range from credentials for remote desktop, custom applications to SQL auth. We're looking for a system that has to be secure, available to junior devs and editable by senior devs. Also, there are frequent movement on our teams, as well as several vendors which complicate things.

What can you guys suggest? Also, what do you guys use?

Wouldn't it be interesting if, culturally, we more often hear brass timbres than string timbres when we are by a saturated blue ocean or looking at a bright blue sky (tense action scenes in movies, on horn parts in the latin-themed soundtracks to our summer vacations)? Then presumably someone with the capacity for synesthesia could be statistically more likely to develop the specific synesthesia in question.

It's virtually impossible to be quantitative about any of that, of course.

There's fMRI research being done on synesthesia [1], but I'm unaware of any studies that go into the exact correlation between specific colors and specific timbres.

And there stems the entire problem with islam from. A lot of people killing "in its name"; more often than not, where that is just abused as an ideology to rally more marginalized people to the cause.

We'll never be able to stop those that abuse religions and causes for political gain, but we can starve their number of "soldiers" by not giving impressionable people more reasons to hate a country.
It's not an agreement that requires anything. It's just a memorandum (IOW a memo) no more binding than the famous verbal promise not to extend NATO towards Russia's borders.
I fail to see how arming citizens would prevent bombs from blowing them up.

What the hell is wrong with people, suggesting guns as a solution to unpredictable violent situations where guns wouldn't make any difference.

You arm citizens, now what? Shoot anyone that looks mildly suspicious? Hear a bomb go off, you take out your gun then scare the shit out of people surrounding you, then get shot by somebody else that thinks you're part of the bombing?
We can debate on his motives and methods, but in terms of death count he is as good as any. But you are right that ISIS is more evil in this sense: if ISIS had Stalin's power and military apparatus, they would do more damage than Stalin ever did.

$BIGBILL comes at a fixed day each month, but $PAYCHECK happens on a different day every two weeks. Some months, $BIGBILL comes right after $PAYCHECK, in which case you're safe. Other months, $BIGBILL comes right before $PAYCHECK which means you need to find some extra money to cover the period between the bill and your paycheck. If you're living paycheck to paycheck, you always have to have these unsynchronized-cadences in the back of your mind.
I thought the metaphor was clear - society, as a whole, is not threatened by this sort of thing, and it is not even particularly dangerous from an expected value perspective. The point is not that nothing should be done - as I mentioned with my reference to hygiene precautions. Washing your hands and encasing yourself in an antiseptic bubble are two very different things, and the fact of the matter is that not all deaths are preventable. I was trying to make the point that the knee-jerk reaction of "something should be done" discounts the possibility that sometimes it's not worth it to do anything, either because additional action would have no effect or because the marginal cost of that action exceeds the benefits.

A fairly large number of people die from influenza every year, but we don't have a mass surveillance dragnet to try and isolate flu vectors, for good reason. We do, however, have a fairly robust vaccination system which is a sensible precaution to take.

When I got sick at work and ended up on short-term disability they used my sick days against me by losing my doctor's excuse notes.

I would not get invited to meetings about projects and they would all vote for me to do the project. Never giving me the meeting notes or any documentation on the project. So I would ask coworkers who were at the meetings for the notes and they would answer back "I don't know" for any question I asked. So I had to do the projects without any information or notes or documentation and they got mad that I didn't follow the notes in the meetings.

They did it on purpose to get rid of me, just like they are trying to get rid of you.

According to bjs.gov (Bureau of Justice Statistics), it's been around 11-12,000 gun homicides in recent years, down from around 16,000 a few years ago. Over half of those are black-on-black shootings, mainly gang related.

If you control for these gangland shootings, the per capita rate in the U.S. is about the same as Western Europe and Canada.

The U.S. has a socio-economic problem in the ghetto areas, not a gun problem per se, unless you want to argue that it's too easy for gangbangers to obtain guns.

Law abiding citizens with guns aren't doing most of the shootings. Suicides, that's a different story.

> ISIS is specifically out for either world empire or apocalyptic defeat

Which is why (in my understanding) ISIS does not do attacks on foreign soil. Their idea is to re-establish a caliphate (ei Islamic empire, which existed from around the time of Mohamed for centuries). ISIS would probably be okay with those that cannot join the jihad in Syria conducting a terrorist attack on their home turf, but would not actively plan one.

All I'm saying is I would not be surprised if this isn't specifically ISIS.
Based on the update to the article that dak1 mentioned¹, I’d say that’s actually incorrect:

“Apple issued a new, stronger (SHA-2) Mac App Store certificate in September, before the older (SHA-1) one expired, as planned. The new Mac App Store certificate was using the current, strong SHA-2 algorithm. However, some apps were running receipt validation code using very old versions of OpenSSL that don’t support SHA-2.
OpenSSL started supporting SHA-2 in 2005, which is why Apple didn’t foresee this issue.”

Since I seriously doubt any of Apple apps would be using the older SHA-1 certificate, this probably only affected third-party apps.

Does that have any value beyond reinforcing people's irrational fear of mass deaths? What if you let your family know you're not one of the 100 killed in this attack then die as one of the 600 murdered in France each year by common crime?

I saw this happen with the London bombings. A colleague was almost in tears because her son lived in London and she couldn't contact him on the phone. It turned out he was fine, as approximately everybody else in the city was too.
Fair enough; I think I should have said that it's not 'only' foreign policy that matters, it's part fo the factors of course. You can play with thought policies when you are not already crowded with a population of people who feel they are being dealt (rightly, or wrongly, or perceived, or real) the wrong hand.

The real sad thing is that it puts a lot of other people in the wrong sort of focus, all the people who ARE integrated, who made the efforts, who overcame the hurdles of segregation and racism; these are the 'visible' people who'll get in trouble in the next few weeks/months in the daily lives, and perhaps make them wonder if it was such a good idea to identify and 'join' a population that is just angry and looking for a soft target.

There are around 700 people murdered in France each year. But in most cases it's someone from your family killing you, or someone that hates you for some reason, or you're involved in criminal activities.

Maybe there are 100 people killed in France in a typical year by complete strangers. And we're talking about 180 people (maybe more) killed in 2015 by complete strangers and in the name of Allah. I don't think that can be easily ignored.
I don't believe Islam is fundamentally different than Christianity. Present day interpretations aside, I believe both share a similar DNA.

I believe the solution is to look inward (as I've already, "do no harm"), rather than to condemn outwards.

And yes, I'm willing to concede the naiveté of my viewpoint.

As a Russian do you know about the purges he enforced? What is your opinion about the killing of people just for being educated or having having grievances with stalin's governing. Is it OK to kill people for disagreeing with government policies? Like even the post-Stalin soviet government had disowned him.
This sounds terrifying. It seems like you need a behavioral solution, not a technological solution. Spend a little less, cut where you can, and save until you have a buffer. Then you don't have to worry about paycheck timing.

Hm... Interesting parallels:

In the 70s, European communist terrorism was widespread because of support from the Soviet Union. Now, European islamist terrorism is widespread because of support from the middle east. I'm aware that the CIA et al. have been doing exactly the same thing, but it's just a sad pattern.
It would start an avalanche. The problem is that you never know when or where those stop.
The Eastern Bloc had plenty of terrorism, as well as organized crime -- who do you think was supplying all those black markets?

Being a police state is one thing; being an _effective_ police state is something else, much harder (at least in the pre-computer era). In the Soviet case, it didn't help that they didn't really care much about crime...
As horrific and scary as terrorist acts are to civil societies (and impactful to our politics), Stalin's rule was far more devastating. "In February 1989, two years before the fall of the Soviet Union, a research paper by Georgian historian Roy Aleksandrovich Medvedev published in the weekly tabloid Argumenti i Fakti estimated that the death toll directly attributable to Stalin’s rule amounted to some 20 million lives (on top of the estimated 20 million Soviet troops and civilians who perished in the Second World War), for a total tally of 40 million." http://www.ibtimes.com/how-many-people-did-joseph-stalin-kil...

I'm talking about Lenin (founder of the VChK/KGB), and Stalin, and Mao, and Pol Pot, and the Shining Path, and the Red Army Faction, and I could go on but the other names escape me. When a political movement kills more people than Hitler, I'm fine with mentioning it in the same breath as Hitler.
Let's say I take my entire net worth, $500k in cash, and buy a house straight up for $500k, thinking it will be worth $600k a year from now.

If someone were to come along and audit me right now, we would see -$500k in cash, and +500k in assets (my new house).

A week after I buy my house, the housing market crashes. Now, the highest anyone is willing to pay for my house is $250k. If an auditor were to come along and examine my personal wealth balance sheet, they would see that I reported assets of $500k a week ago, but that my house is only worth $250k now.

Now I have to "write that purchase down" by $250k on my personal balance sheet so that it matches its true value on the market. I lost half my paper net worth in a week due to a poor investment decision. (Individuals are generally not required to do this type of accounting, but public firms are so that investors can make informed decisions about which companies to fund.)

If you make risky bets, you're usually going to have to "write down" or "write off" (take a 100% loss) what you were once counting as valuable assets. Some write offs are inevitable, but if you let them get out of hand its definitely a sign of shoddy investing methodology and poor risk management.
