I just found News Feed Eradicator the other day and it has changed my Facebook habits drastically. It lets you use all of the useful features of FB (messages, groups, pages, etc.) and replaces the newsfeed with a quote about procrastination or productivity. 10/10 would recommend - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/news-feed-eradicat...

No. We should let people build things and then we will collectively decide - in the series of a form of individual decisions - what our better public platforms look like.
If you cannot have something continue to produce output though those periodic biases cannot be obtained, To my knowledge you need a quite large amount of output to exploit them.

So for encrypting a single short message, where an attacker is unable to obtain more output, this should be sufficient for such a purpose.

Still, I wouldn't use it at all, there are other micro alternatives like TweetNaCl which offer a far higher degree of security.
The 2nd part also jumped out at me too for it's similarity to every politician's response to any given question.

The whole point of DevOps is really to get your software developers to share in the pain that certain design / development choices can cause.

This is a great characterization and one of the few views of DevOps I can get behind.

Unfortunately, in my experience some higher up emits an edict to "do DevOps" and for whatever reason that has fallen on operations (my area) to "implement" (a hazy concept and task) with little buy in from the design/development side; meanwhile, some developers complain that they didn't sign up to "be on call", despite that they are only being tasked with such for their own team's code. In other situations, developers take it upon themselves to deploy stuff without feedback or involvement from the operations experts, and you end up with Shadow IT.

It has to be an organization-wide endeavor, and there has to be a culture of involvement of all the areas of expertise.

.bv is a great TLD choice if you want to give many women visiting your website a subtle negative connotation.
The potential wrongness is that with each new, seemingly benign feature, people consent to more and more potential privacy breaches until they reach a point where their privacy is no longer valuable. Or, they get tired of reading through the concerns and just give consent to every one of them, analogous to not reading Terms of Services. Sure, you can put the blame on the user, but that doesn't make it not wrong.

But, yes, if Facebook was more transparent and upfront about what it's doing, we might not be as critical.
This is a good list.

Press/Retweets in and of themselves aren't progress but they can be a good indicator of it (and also a poor indicator). I've had many conversations which have turned into sales that included that person talking about how they've been seeing my site everywhere these days.

Eyeballs/Uniques are precisely why the advertising I sell is done on a monthly basis. Either the advertiser will like the results of the campaign by tracking the activity on their site, or they won't.
People don't seem to take to nicely to Apple when they give preferential treatment for developers and allow some to access APIs that others can't.
So who got to decide that it works this way?

The Constitution doesn't say it works this way, and that was the document that was voted on by the representatives of the people. So whoever it was that decided it actually works a totally different way, why should I care what they think?
I love Cliff Stoll so much... I hope one day to be as passionate about _something_ as he seems to be about everything...

But it never works like that. If I have a company, I'll hire as many people as can produce more for me than they cost me. If you reduce the amount they can produce, that means that I will hire fewer people - not because I'm evil and manipulative, but because that's the way the economics works out for me, the employer.
Limited OO use sounds like a very good thing unless you're building a gui.
Also remember that NVIDIA loves saying that this is as fast as the ASCI RED Supercomputer from 2000... but that was FP64 1TFLOP machine. This NVIDIA chip gets a total of 16 GFLOPs of FP64... a whopping 1/64 the power of the ASCI computer they try to compare it to.
I ran into a similar issue with a black screen in Ubuntu, seemingly a result of driver issues too. It turns out the normal installation wasn't partitioning enough space for it to run in (I installed it alongside Windows 7). I had to manually partition the disk to give it ample room. Once I did that, everything ran just fine. Along the way I encountered a lot of advice similar to what you did, and it set me back several hours before I realized what the actual cause was.
I don't get why this is a surprise.

>There are over 400,000 emergency room visits per year from marijuana.

"In 2010, there were approximately 12.1 million diabetes-related ED visits for adults aged 18 years or older"

Should we outlaws sugar and high fructose corn syrup ?

Anyway, looking at the full statistics on drug abuse emergency rooms visits it doesn't look like total [hypothetically successful] prohibition of marijuana would have any effect as OTC, other drugs and alcohol would obviously fill the void:

http://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/drug-related...

"Highlights from the 2009 Drug Abuse Warning Network

In 2009, there were nearly 4.6 million drug-related ED visits nationwide. These visits included reports of drug abuse, adverse reactions to drugs, or other drug-related consequences. Almost 50 percent were attributed to adverse reactions to pharmaceuticals taken as prescribed, and 45 percent involved drug abuse. DAWN estimates that of the 2.1 million drug abuse visits—

27.1 percent involved nonmedical use of pharmaceuticals (i.e., prescription or OTC medications, dietary supplements)

21.2 percent involved illicit drugs

14.3 percent involved alcohol, in combination with other drugs

> it has a restrictive 14 page license attached to it that you must agree to to use it //

That you're supposed to agree to. What proportion of the users of Xcode do you suppose have even read that license?

Also the license doesn't prevent you using it, though it possibly prevents you from legally using it for commercial purposes in most developed nations.

With the recent case concerning sending data abroad to process to circumvent patent restrictions it seems that f.lux could just have someone in a country with no copyright/license restrictions download Xcode, compile and make available the software. Apple Computers after all wouldn't own code created with Xcode, which would be a technical rather than artistic work anyhow, so there doesn't appear to be a problem of copyright.

Apple could likely still pull strings that the f.lux people wouldn't find helpful however (maybe the devs have other apps that Apple could block, for example).

> I really don't understand why the existence of software that doesn't try to take advantage of DNSSEC is being used as evidence that DNSSEC is incapable of doing something.

It's not that DNSSEC is fundamentally "incapable" of doing this, but that it's literally not what the protocol is designed to do. As noted in the other HN thread on this announcement, the DNSSEC protocol is explicitly not designed for end-user verification, and end-users are discouraged from running their own valdiators. There's a reason that browsers don't support this out-of-the-box and (more importantly) don't ever plan on it.

If you're concerned about people snooping on your TCP packets, DNSSEC doesn't solve that. If you're concerned about people spoofing DNS responses, DNSSEC doesn't solve that[0]. TLS + HSTS does solve that, by making it impossible to load a forged page, regardless of what DNS records were returned[1].

Again, TLS solves all the problems you describe (including the problem of ISPs redirecting mistyped pages to their own advertising pages). TLS is also supported by every browser, out-of-the-box. It's more secure, easier to deploy, and already widely used.

[0] Again, as explained in the post, DNSSEC is not designed to protect end-users against malicious ISPs. This is literally a matter of what problems DNSSEC is even aimed at solving.

[1] Notice how http://google.com (not even https://) will never redirect to a captive portal. That's not DNSSEC. That's TLS + HSTS. DNSSEC is redundant in this situation.

We maintain a stable LTS release (v2.0) for those who cannot tolerate breaking changes.

Feature releases (e.g. 2.1, 2.2) include new features and do break compatibility on occasion (so we can quickly introduce new behavior). Any breaking changes are well-documented in the release notes[1], so you can have a smooth upgrade path.

Minor releases (e.g. 2.1.1, 2.1.2) do not have breaking changes, only bugfixes and minor improvements.

> its my device, not apple's

Except when a device gets highjacked or something by a malware or whatever then user always blames the manufacturer of the OS, I guess apple knowing this just have a strict policies about it. Apple has a right to decide how to build and maintain their OS, they are the ones who created it, not device owners. If device owners don't like something about it, they have an option not to purchase it, Apple does not have an option to not sell a phone to some dumb user who will install viruses and then complain about Apple lack of security

Prior to recreational legalization in Washington, it was extremely easy to get it medically; there were a plethora of doctors that specialized in offering prescriptions with the barest pretense of actual need. After the law passed allowing it to be grown, sold and used recreationally then it actually became more difficult to acquire a prescription for it, requiring proof of one of a set of conditions from a "real" physician.
Interesting-sounding headline AND a seemingly custom-designed art piece to go with the story? To the top of HN we go, regardless of whether the story itself is valuable or not. (There is a lesson to be learned here for spammers, err, I mean marketing people.)

Well, they would sign the binaries themselves if that worked... but you need to sign it yourself to get an iOS device to let you install it.

R&D requires scale. There are relatively few jobs compared to the size of the industry.

And the vast majority of the wine industry is indeed in the $10-or-less category. Alcohol in general is a pretty well-consolidated industry, with a few global giants owning the vast, vast majority of the global brands and production.

And I never said there wasn't money in it -- there is, but it's not going to be made by VC startups. The problem is that it's a relatively easy market to get into (I.e. There are no major technical hurdles) and it's really obvious. People will make money, but its really not a hockey-stick market. The types of companies that will be successful will be ones with superior cost controls enabling them to outlast / outspend the competition on brand advertising.
OK, you're right. Riding smelly buses that run behind schedule and only stop within walking distance of an infinitesimal portion of the places I might want to visit is "objectively better" than getting in a late-model luxury car and going wherever I want whenever I want...

Dude, do you still not see it? I made a point, not about city living, but about city dwellers, and you appeared out of the blue, to illustrate my point in one post after another. If anyone is reading this thread, they probably think you're a sock puppet created by me. You illustrate my point perfectly.

And you also remind me that the city dwellers I've encountered, who obsess about convincing others that their lifestyle is superior, seem to really be trying to convince themselves of that more than anyone else.

So, if you makes you feel better, I'll admit that I'm jealous that I don't get to ride smelly buses or crowded trains every day, while being on guard against pickpockets, and live without a car because I "don't need" one. It's soul-crushing that my kids can play in any backyard in the neighborhood without me worrying about junkies or mentally ill homeless people lurking nearby.
Could this be a result of a burgeoning VC industry where a lot of less qualified players are entering?
>*probiotic with 102 billion cells..."

That's the thing that gets me with probiotics/packaging: they list these counts that can vary widely and are sometimes seemingly astronomical.

It kind of implies that if some is good, then more is better. I've thought that there is certainly some level at which it's not good for you.

Logically, if a certain dosage is produced, then you assume it to have some therapeutic effect. So, adding an order of magnitude to a therapeutic dosage of something wouldn't seem universally harmless.

Right they don't say if it causes any harm. Antibiotics may occasionally have side effects, but lack of micro-biome diversity doesn't necessarily matter. If it made a big difference, you would expect to see more common side effects.
I was against them writing significant portions of Firefox in Javascript from the beginning. Maybe a generator from JS to native for templating interfaces or something. I could see some compromise to aid the web crowd in extending Firefox. Shouldn't be what's running, though, given the inefficiency.
Evidence of p-value hacking
I think the message is mostly directed at developers. It's worth noting that a developer's PC is often a very good target. It carries a lot of power, i.e. source codes, host names and private keys, etc. So even the number is small, a targeted attack might have a big impact. And a targeted attack is much, much more difficult to quantify or even study.

No, I still maintain it can be engineered around. If enough people start random streams between themselves, is the government going to prevent that? Noise actually can be put into anything, it could be images, sound, random.org, whatever.

You can then embed crypto in those streams. When the prosecutors can't even distinguish intent then there's a problem. No third party may ever know someone exchanged encrypted messages.

So again, I'm not saying the law is fundamentally inconsistent or anything, it's just that it's pretty easy to make it unenforceable and undetectable.

When it comes to investor money, at some point you basically have to spend it. That's the expectation of investors: they gave you the money so that you would invest it to expand the business faster than it could organically grow. If you hold onto it and try to continue running a lean business, you'll run into issues.

Some governments execute their citizens. If a crypto tool is neither strong nor useful it probably shouldn't be described as such.
