If you want to check your servers for various other attacks with a shell script:

https://testssl.sh/

Also, I'm not seeing any guides on fixes for Dovecot yet. If you built from source or the defaults aren't working, you can use the following:

ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!aNULL

Something more secure (blocks other vulnerabilities):

ssl_cipher_list = ALL:!ADH:!LOW:!SSLv2:!SSLv3:!EXP:!aNULL:!RC4:+HIGH:+MEDIUM

The second one also covers SSlv3. You can read more on why to disable this at: http://disablessl3.com/

Also, you may need to update your Exim configs as well:

tls_require_ciphers = AES128+EECDH:AES128+EDH
openssl_options = +no_sslv2 +no_sslv3

If there's anything else I'm missing, let me know.

From their own post:

> SongFlip has been banned from Google Play several times in the past for Intellectual Property infringement. After his developer account is banned, the developer keeps on creating new developer accounts to reupload this app. Below is a list of past package names this app has been uploaded under, which have since been banned:

com.seven.songflip

com.fungames.songflip

com.unicornlabs.firetunes

So really Google isn't allowing it, this person just keeps on signing up.
Tell HN: I will help solve your roadblock/s for 1 hour of your time
I have a pretty diverse set of skills, I mostly work with node and do front end dev. Currently, I work doing a little bit of everything at a small fintech company. I could add value/help you with:

setting up and implementing a social meda strategy and campaign.

Doing a quick mockup or design critique.

Competitive strategy. Looking at the space you are in and finding non-traditional competitors, changes and partners. Or thinking about a business model.

Letting you vent for a bit because contrary to what you tell everyone, maybe you aren't "killing it, I love being an Entrepreneur!" Or "just gabbed coffee with [well known sandhill entity] and I'm getting tons of interest"

Looking at your product and company and providing a thoughtful critique.

Etc.

I need maybe 1 hour of someones time to help me think about structuring my project. It will have a forum with users, entities that are organizations that might not be active, articles (like news not db) and just generally how to think about the data. I haven't really scaled anything out and there is no reason to beleive this will be massive, but I am just not sure how to set up the dbs and website to serve 10-100k users, obviously not "big data" but more of just a way to get some best practices and find some good resources.

Anyway,

Maybe you don't need any of thr stuff I listed, it would be cool if you coukd get/give help from someone else as this isn't just about my small experiment.

Cheers
That's a relatively recent development in terms of systemizing knowledge discovery. Prior, people literally just mixed stuff together to see what happened.
> Common sense is a basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge things, which is shared by nearly all people and can reasonably be expected of nearly all people without any need for debate.

You think that Google being a great place to work meets this definition, despite the fact that the vast majority of people have no idea what it's like to work there.?

> It consistently tops the chats of "best places to work".

Which are answered by who? I've never even seen one of those surveys and I've worked in the industry for 13 years.

SV types tend to think the world is all like SV (which seems to be a focusing of the more general American view point)

> Combine that with the fact that there's literally a movie about how great it is to work there

There's a biographical movie about the life of Steve Jobs that has actual evidence about factual events, and they fucked it up massively. Why would you assume any movie is a true representation of something, especially a fucking comedy??
Well how long before the novelty names run out of meaning ? For starters there are probably more issues out there then there are catchy American English anachronisms. I vote for using the names of Mezzo-American gods . Like Hachäk'yum or Xbalanque!
> Picture the future as a few dozen capitalist overlords who own all the robots selling each other robotic goods and services (because no one else has the means, right?). Where's their value add?

Right now, the "value" is basically just there to get other people to work for you. That and exchanging goods is all money does. When you have robots to build anything you want, cure all your ills, and don't need human servants, you don't need money. Robots get paid in energy, so to speak, and then there's only resources and control over them.

> The optimistic view is that automation will liberate humanity from all forms of drudge labour and eventually usher in a post scarcity society.

Right, and people who until now don't want to share, will suddenly change? That's not current trends, that is the opposite of current trends. The gap between rich and poor is growing, not closing.

Also, just because something is irrational, destructive and self-destructive, doesn't mean it can't happen or isn't already going on. Powerful people aren't necessarily the most intelligent or wise. I'd even say to reach some levels of power mental health defects are a necessity. Which, to me, is also part of common sense and things I'm surprised I even have to point out.

Here's a comment I bookmarked:

> The main part of the economics that don't make sense is trusting a secretive technocratic savior, wielding trillions of dollars of resources, to actually give a shit about helping out all the low-level peons who initially funded the system. It's an extremely elitist vision, that, by people's parents handing over investment money to a small cabal of technological geniuses, their kids will be handed a post-scarcity utopia on a platter --- instead of the wealthy technocrats simply joining forces with the rest of the oppressive oligarchy, laughing at the suckers who gambled away their children's futures on promises of technology serving the people rather than vice-versa.
Looking at the many definitions of poverty, historical living standards and global averages, I say it is quite ok.

"By nature, this system leads to capital accumulation. Since no capital is infinite, accumulation in one place means removing it from somewhere else."

I agree with the first sentence but the second assumes the economy is zero-sum. This is only true to a certain extent within some domains, like ownership of physical land.
Does Google not have an app approval process when a developer wants to submit an app to the store? Surely the resubmission of a banned app would be detected at that step?
A possible future is a mankind that limit its growth like a fish in an aquarium.

Another one I've a heard is a mankind whose the objective is the interstellar travel. Man would be an artefact of life to propagate itself across the universe.

About science and technology, Marx says they are consequences of sedentarization of the man. With agriculture, man had surplus of food and discovered trade, money and finally capitalism.

In Civilization the player begins as a nomad tribe and needs a good place to build its empire :-)
> eventually when we get to a certain point it will all turn into disaster.

William F. Buckley liked to quote a friend that, "The problem with socialism is socialism. The problem with capitalism is capitalists." Socialism is the force meant to keep capitalists from becoming the totalitarian rulers of us all. The responsibility of voters in a democracy is to keep the forces of capitalism and socialism in check so that neither one dominates us and brings on disaster.

Understanding this fact that America and all other functioning democracies are a balance of socialism and capitalism has made me realize I am a Noam Chomsky-style anarchist. He observes that one cannot be an anarchist without also being a tempered socialist, because without some socialism to constrain the capitalists, they would quickly oppress us all in a tragedy-of-the-commons scenario [1].

My extremely humble suggestion is merely that acknowledging that a "free market/capitalistic" approach works best for many things and a "collective/socialistic" approach works for other things and stop pretending that its all of one or all of the other.
Does anyone have any advice on using "init" scripts as CMD for the container, vs something like Ansible for post-provisioning?

Example: a Django web app... after deploying the new version container you need to run migrations etc

Similarly for say RabbitMQ you may need to ensure your vhosts are defined etc... commands that need to be executed against a running server, can't be done in the Dockerfile itself.

So far I've ended up with a bash script in each container that does the necessary init tasks before exec-ing the main process. Or in some cases (Rabbit, Mongo) they first run the server in a limited state, do the init tasks against it, then stop it and exec again as the container process.

Have started to feel it might be cleaner to instead just start the main process and then provision it with Ansible afterwards. But then I lose the ability to have a system up and running just via docker-compose...
5 things we learned from Cisco’s acquisition of Jasper Technologies
Are headsets the only path to VR right now? I could see this vastly altering the gaming market, where very few experiences are shared unless a network is involved. But I don't see VR being a paradigm shift on the order of the smartphone unless you can easily share the experience with someone who walks in the room and asks what you're doing. These bulky headsets don't afford that.
I think you're right and as long as the discussion is about inequality rather than poverty there won't be a solution.

Inequality will always be with us because humans compete. If they don't compete directly economically they compete for social status.

Providing a base level of food, shelter, and medical assistance is achievable. I just don't think it will be enough when envy is factored in.

Interesting. Could be that they are mandatory when you have ports sourcing higher currents? That would be reasonable, to avoid damage on shorts. -- But I've never seen such things on "simple" (500mA) ports, only polyfuses.

OpenSSL Security Advisory [1st March 2016]
iPay: How to Free Clients from a Checkbook – IVR Technology Group
Capitalism isn't a problem per se. It's only a problem when those at the top of a capitalistic society make it so the people's representatives no longer represent the people, but themselves.

If the people were actually vigilant, and didn't let this happen, as it already has happened in the US, then they wouldn't legalize bribery, and they would put those who give money to politician more than a small amount set in law, in prison. And it wouldn't matter whether the person giving the money is a small business owner or the CEO of Exxon. Both would go to prison for the same amount of time.

If the societies were that just and the representatives actually followed the people's will like that, then capitalism would be wonderful!
Here's another driver: we can't help but invent things and find out more about the world, regardless of system, and in many ways capitalism takes the credit for what goes on anyway and either way.
There is surely a way to determine if one app is substantially similar to a previously banned app, eg. by fuzzy comparing the binary, or running it and comparing screenshots.

It's a pretty technical subject. I don't expect a layman to understand the need for random constants in cryptographic algorithms. That someone misunderstood it is not surprising.

But this is such an insane misunderstanding. To believe that lottery numbers are somehow predictable with mathematics, wow. And this is from a website about lotteries, which you would expect to be more familiar with these things. Or well, maybe not. I guess in retrospect, it makes sense that people interested in lotteries wouldn't understand randomness.

I think understanding probabilities is really important. It's something that should be emphasized in school a bit more. People have such weird and bizarre misunderstandings of it, like this case. The fact that lotteries are even a thing is concerning. Let alone a thing big enough to attract millions of dollars in ticket sales.

Personally I don't believe that they should be legal, simply because they prey on that misunderstanding, and often on the poorest. And they give false hope. But that's a moral/political question instead of an objective one. And voters support them a lot, and they are difficult to get rid of.

According to the info page, SSLv2 can only be disabled on OpenSSL by having the right (newer) version of OpenSSL installed.

I just checked Debian versions.

Wheezy (oldstable): Much to old OpenSSL versions, according to the info site

Jessy (stable): Still to old OpenSSL version.

Stretch (testing): Still to old OpenSSL version.

Sid (unstable): The same version of OpenSSL as Stretch -- Still to old.

>That's similar to the argument that luddites have always made and they have always been wrong.

Industrial revolution resulted malnutrition and deterioration of absolute living standards. It took almost hundred years from the start of the industrial revolution before real wages started to grow. You can see it from the historical records. The height of enlisted men in Britain decreased. Luddites were mostly right. They were not fighting against technology per se btw, they were fighting against losing their jobs.

The real benefits from industrialization were realized after hard political changes were made and capitalism was limited. It was very violent struggle. People were shot or beaten. Economic history teaches us that technological changes require political changes. What you attribute as triumph of capitalism ignores the fact that capitalism changed a lot. You don't create middle class from mid 18th century society.

Summary:

capitalism + technology + political change == benefits for everyone.

What is the difference between the Apple process and the Google process such that Google has this problem and Apple does not?

Or is this also a problem that occurs on the Apple store?
According to this site, it does not: http://obamacarefacts.com/dental-insurance/dental-insurance/

"Dental insurance, for the most part, isn’t covered under ObamaCare (the Affordable Care Act)...

"Even with cost assistance, when you reach the maximum,you typically pay 100% of the costs for dental work. This is the opposite of health insurance under the ACA where you pay 0% after your maximum.

"Dental works best for routine care, it is uncommon to find any insurance that covers major dental work past a certain dollar amount. ('The Dental Gap'?)

Here's a news story in which someone died due to a tooth infection: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/insurance-24-year-dies-toothach...

"When dentists told him it needed to be pulled, he decided to forgo the procedure, because he was unemployed and had no health insurance...

"When his face started swelling and his head began to ache, Willis went to the emergency room, where he received prescriptions for antibiotics and pain medications. Willis couldn't afford both, so he chose the pain medications.

Real talk, I've worked for some horrible employers back home in Wichita, but -never- has any fired me for taking time off due to an emergency. If anything, they said, "go and take care of it."

> [edit 2] according to one of the researcher, the scanner "check if pubkey (not cert) runs on SSLv2. Then mark all others with that pubkey vuln" (src: https://twitter.com/seecurity/status/704665265712308224)

That seems to make sense, given that any SSLv2 service using a pubkey that's used on a non-SSLv2 service can be used in an attack against the latter.

The main takeaway from this is probably that it's a good idea to separate your SSL keys by service (or, more specifically, by DISTINCT($attack_surface), where $attack_surface is your software stack, OpSec, etc.). This would limit the impact of a number of vulnerabilities (think: Heartbleed) and should generally become a best-practice.

Yeah, and that goes both ways. You can't wave away the apathy that exists by disagreeing on other grounds.

> This article is not easily to be dismissed, but its title is misleading - a straight fib - and a misleading headline to suggest one reading over another is propagandistic.

There is not much leeway in how to read Hawkings' actual comments, and as for title, that is the word "confirm":

> 1. to state or show that (something) is true or correct

> 2. to tell someone that something has definitely happened or is going to happen : to make (something) definite or official

> 3. to make (something) stronger or more certain : to cause (someone) to believe (something) more strongly

Notice the last meaning. So this is just a high-ranking comment with nothing to add, splitting hairs about the title. What Hawking said is not easy to dismiss, but that doesn't stop people from trying now does it.

edit: yep, it's already getting buried. Someone of the smarter people on the planet is talking about one of the more serious things in life, but let's talk about gadgets some more.
