If they actually succeed at that, it's gonna be a laughing season. Every time a company does something and becomes widely successful, their methods are then recommended on business trainings, startup conferences, etc. So if IFTTT actually manages to subdue many services this way, you can expect other startups to think they can build business out of a) hooking up to your service without your knowledge, and b) telling you you're supposed to become their customer now.
I used to think the same too, but it really is just habit. Once you get used to it the “crack” sounds as good as the “pop”. About the only downside is you lose the skill to get out an old cork intact - the last few I have attempted I have absolutely butchered.

Woah, wait a minute. By purposely bypassing security restrictions present on the device via some sort of exploit isn't the FBI violating the iPhone terms of use? Could Apple theoretically sue them for doing this (and most importantly, for not sharing _how_ they did this)?

AP Investigation: How a con man used China to make millions
Very interesting article!

I'm guessing the "anti-portscan technique" is probably just a security device establishing the TCP connection before sending any packets to the real server, although in my opinion you shouldn't be doing this for ports with no service actually listening on them. This is usually known as SYN-proxy.

I was thinking also that for IPv6 addresses not returning the same results as their IPv4 counterparts, it would be interesting to measure latency and run traceroutes to try to guess if they're actually pointing to the same machine in the same datacenter.

Finally, you might have a service listening on one of your IP addresses and not on the others, so that would also make a difference without being a firewall misconfiguration.

The possibilities are many, so it would be great to see if the author extends his research in the near future. I hope he does! :)
Ask HN: How should I manage removing customer data and backups?
This question has a couple of different aspects to it, the main aspect to be addressed, though, is the relationship between customer data and backups.

1. One of our customer promises is to remove customer data when a customer has stopped using our service. Is a `DELETE FROM data WHERE userID=5` plus a `rm -rf data_attachments/customerID/5` sufficient? Are there other methods of data disposal I should consider? Are there other issues to think about?

2. We regularly backup all of our data. Because each customer's data is a subset of the application data, that data is stored in the backups. When a business entity says that it has destroyed all customer data, what does it mean for that data to still exist in the backups? Is this legal? Are there solutions to this? One "brainstorm" solution was to go back into the backups, decompress the archive, wipe that customer's data from that data set, recompress, and re-store it. It seems to me that fiddling with backups destroys the purpose of a versioned backup.
Could some random party bring that lawsuit back to court on "behalf" of the FBI without the FBI's approval?
I think it's generalization to say that it doesn't apply to those who are clinically depressed. I know many (previously) clinically depressed people who it definitely does apply to.

The article wasn't talking about bipolar.
Thank you for your reply. I've been reading mixed reviews about what should be put on the about us page so I figured I would ask a startup community their thoughts. I think I may be over thinking it.
Holy hell, that is impressive.
Did it at least support Ethernet by this point or did you get to learn all about Token Ring as well?
Naw, I understood the Chief.

I followed your link to that paper -- sure, CBT, once unwind the acronym, sounds fine. That's what I thought would work on the patient in my family (by marriage, not by birth). But CBT didn't work. Not even a little, not a chance.
And the patient was just awash in cognitive ability -- brilliant, actually. Or, maybe the brilliance caused seeing more threats and, thus, more anxiety.

The usual suspects, say, SSRIs, etc. didn't work, either. The result was, right, the worst possible, and of course there are hints that SSRIs can contribute to that result.

Much of the problem was social phobia, e.g., as in the link. Well, it was strongly in common to the mother and all three daughters. So, nature or nurture? If just nurture, maybe CBT, etc. should have worked. But, gotta tell you, at least on the social phobia part, nothing made a dent. All three of the daughters had at least talk therapy, and, no help at all. None.

If CBT can work, as in the link, fine, no, terrific. But, for anyone facing the problems mentioned in the link, need to keep in mind that for a specific case the averages don't have to matter and have to entertain that maybe CBT won't work.

Just why the Chief was so down on talk therapy, or CBT if that is close enough, I don't know. But, we're talking 20+ years ago.

It can be serious stuff, and darned tough to deal with.

Or, the Chief's summary remark went: "Get the patient all calmed down, stable, happy, and then suddenly there will some little event, say, a new file folder of work, and the patient will be all stressed out again."

Or, in my intuition, provide something like a padded cell life for the patient, and things could look fine. But, try to have the patient address the real world, and just some random, new event, say, where there might be some risk that they would have to think through and handle, and they could get all "stressed out" again -- sleepless nights, GI problems, tears, depression, clinical depression, etc.

I'm no expert, but, again, overall IMHO the OP is a bit simplistic.
I know mine did. I had various machines, including a 233mhz PowerPC tangerine iMac running in a cupboard for a while. They dropped their power bill even lower by switching from a ~150W desktop to a 90W MacBook (which has ridiculously good standby power usage).

It's interesting now, I would have never thought of designing machines (off the shelf bought parts) for low power usage before I moved out.

When I did move out, power was 30 cents per kilowatt-hour and I definitely noticed the difference moving from NVidia to AMD (for a PC that ran 24 hours a day). That PC is now back on NVidia because a single GTX 970 was more efficient than my 2x6870s. I really wish they'd allow me to turn off the dedicated GPU and go back to the Intel iGPU when I'm only running Visual Studio. Lucid Virtu could have done this but it's really buggy.

These days I just make sure Wake On Lan works properly (a challenge in Windows 10 with commodity hardware) and run mostly ARM boxes otherwise.

I don't think I'd even consider running old mainframe equipment in Australia (unless I had 2+KW of solar on the roof)

Thanks for the advice. I asked the question because I've been reading mixed reviews about how important the about us page is and what should be written so I just wanted to see what others have done.
"Indeed. In fact, basically all Muslim country north or west of Saudi Arabia were Christian for centuries before being conquered by Muslim invasions. Syria, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Balkans, Turkey - all Christian before the armies of Islam came in 632-1683." We could say the same thing for America, Australia, Africa and even some East European countries none of these populations were Christians before the their lands where conquered by european Christians . Oh and there was no Israel at that time the whole region was referred to as the Levant.
Shutting down legacy APIs may be a good idea, however the way they want to make the new API happen is completely bonkers.
How about logging your deletions so if you need to recover from backup you can play out the deletion log to take care of such things.
Less than you think. Recent x64 is a great deal faster than recent System Z if you compare just a single core. I think the total bandwidth is still better, but I don't know with how much if you compare high end systems.

I would guess you can give a z890 a good match with a raspberry pi 3... Unless it's IO bound...

A quick google says: 2451 mips on a 4-core raspberry pi 3 against 9000 mips on a 32-core z990... hmmm.
Traditionally, compilers were built as tools for end-user developers. LLVM , instead, is a library you can use to make a compiler. Clang, for example, uses the LLVM API to produce a form that the LLVM subsystems can compile into actual machine code.

Interesting, clang actually did this too - it itself is a C/ObjC/C++ parser library, which can be used to make a tool.

LLVM is fantastic because, as a language developer, you can focus on your parsing and language-specific features without needing to concern yourself with machine code generation. LLVM does that all for you.
(1) Nowhere in the responses did the author mention medication as a cure to his depression. (2) I can't understand how someone who has not been suffering from depression can make judgements on what it is and how to cure it. It's like saying that drug-addiction is just a matter of will power and given proper motivation anyone can quit on their own accord, where the truth lies somewhere in the middle, for some it can be very easy, for others it is a life-long battle.

I have had a clinically diagnosed depression for some time and I can tell you that regardless of how I feel on the logical level i.e. all my needs are met and as the author said I do feel like I am the luckiest guy on earth, I can still be very depressed. I don't agree with the statement that in all cases depression is a disease but in some, particularly the more severe ones, the only way to lead a normal life is through medicating and therapy. There is no underlying issues...just depression as the actual disorder.
What was unmentioned in the article, and here in the comments as of yet, is ZIRP, Zero interest-rate policy.[1]

Central banks around the world have made it easy to borrow money almost for free. That money must be invested somewhere, because keeping capital in the bank has negative interest rates in many countries!

That's a big reason why there's so much venture capital sloshing around. What else are they going to do with it? Buy a German 10 year Bund that returns 0.18% per year, or maybe a US Treasury that's about 2%? Why not take a chance on the next startup instead? After all, maybe Tinder for Cats is the next big thing?

No idea what this means if you're a male. Males are fertile forever basically, so there isn't some "optimal" age to have offspring.

By your logic, males should be continuously fathering offspring throughout their lives, as soon as they reach puberty.
> Frankly, I think we should not only abolish the electoral college, but the states as well.

I was with you until this part.

States gave us a path to gay marriage, and allow people to move to different areas that hold different values than the whole nation.

I'd suggest trying instant runoff voting before moving to something as drastic as abolishing states. I think IRV would allow people to express their votes and opinions more clearly than the system we have today.
Ridiculous!

That's wrong on two points:

- Microsoft is still the bad boy it has always been, it still owns unfairly 95% of pcs worldwide. There is no reason to be forgiving with this behemoth.

- Bing being profitable or not is completely irrelevant to us end users. What is important is that Bing results are poor to very poor compared to Google's. I know it well because I'm often forced to use it. I wouldn't touch Windows 10 with a pole, but hearing it's poor users are forced to Bing shows clearly enough that Microsoft didn't learn the lesson and is still considering their user as a flock of sheep.

It's an interesting question as to whether something has changed to make being laid off not a bad thing any more - perhaps increased flexibility and liquidity in the labor market from, say, internet job ads, has made this much less of a problem than it used to be.

Keep in mind that "laid off" != "losing your primary source of income". A person's primary source of income is, let's say, working as a software developer. If you're laid off, you can still work as a software developer, you just need to spend a little time finding somewhere else to do that. In this way, it's quite different from losing your primary source of income due to, say, ill health.

Even if you don't find somewhere else to work, as get all the time that you were previously selling to your employer back to use as you see fit, so in accounting terms it's a wash, rather than a loss.

Just like they do at all the "respectable" news agencies?
This is just another of the long list of things that you can only trust if you pay for it. You are the product not the client of most media you consume.

If you want news, you have to not only pay for it but, pay for independent 3rd parties to vet it so that over time you have media that you can trust.

Nothing it trust-worthy any more. Newspapers are selling their reputations in a fire sale. Buzzfeed actually makes money by ignoring any idea of objectiveness or the separation between editorial and advertising.
I hope you had a good time at the diner with Rob. Did you have dinner there?
Some have made the argument that certain government agencies are participating in this sort of sham arrangement, under the guise of 'consent decrees' where an interest group sues an agency, and 'forces' the agency to assume a new (or expanded) power. This is a contentious issue (as you might have imagined).
From what I've seen, the problem as you describe it is 100% the problem the Oculus team set out to solve. Their solution wasn't the DK2.

I think it's sheer pessimism to suggest that they failed before you've tried their solution.

Thank you for writing this. There is nothing in the world that has sucked more joy out of my life and made me question my continued existence as a software developer than complying with the mindless tedium of Scrum. From the ditto-heads harping on about velocity calculations to mindless unit test coverage fanatics to the needy psychotics who demand the daily stand-up, it has succeeded in vacuuming the joy out of the art of software development from my perspective. In contrast, the shops where software development was measured in terms of effective working software and high-quality releases were joyful places to be and made me realize that it is not software development that is broken but the processes that are intended to "fix" it.

Yeah, okay, you're right, domain knowledge is important. I still think a clear and insightful description of practical experience is more important, though.

I don't see what's factually incorrect in this article. The author says that the tether is kind of a pain, and the fact that the Gear is tether-free makes it more compelling (even though it's weaker in other aspects). That's opinion -- useful opinion! The basic facts (tethered versus untethered) seem correct.

I find it funny that startups only implement these ridiculous hiring practices after they start to grow. Imagine if the founders had to quiz each other on algorithms before they agreed to do a startup in the first place. The first few hires at a startup are arguably the most important, yet they don't go through the bullshit that later stage startups put potential employees do.
The Dune game from Cryo is one of my favorite games of all time. It has cartoony graphics and solid controls so it is still a very playable game and the combination of adventure and strategy is really well done.
Would love to see more games combining adventure and strategy like that. Though I am afraid as a genre it doesn't cater to a very wide audience.
I think it depends on the format, so cards have to handle the case of many players.

I think there are quite a number of many player formats actually.

Like, in one, some number of packs a cracked, and they are passed around in a circle, each person picking one card, until everyone has a deck, and then they play.

"Infrastructure without automation is hopefully dead"

No, no ... the "without automation" part is the entire point.

If a system is automated, then nobody has skin in the game - the way the pilot and copilot of your airplane do. The outcomes we want are the outcomes we get when the operator is the first one to go if something goes wrong.

It is in that interaction that we can rely on the (amazing, irreproducible, beautiful) ability of the human brain to recognize patterns and make brilliant deductive leaps.

That's just the very thing we want.
Nepalese national here. While I can confirm that most of the stuff in the NY Times article is true, what bothers me the most is how helpless is the Nepalese government with this regard. Tourism dollars and oversea migrant workers' wages make up for a sizable (and growing) chunk of Nepal's GDP. Every day hundreds of migrant workers leave for the middle east in search of better work. A few of them come back in coffins, others come with disease or a youth wasted in foreign land. Now, don't get my prospective wrong, but the situation of Sherpas is better compared to the migrant workers. While its not the most desirable job, its better among the ones available.
