" They instructed me to unlock my phone and other personal accounts. " - That would suck. As one who has also been robbed at gunpoint (Redwood City, CA), I remember clearly thinking - "Thankfully, all you're getting is a locked phone."

With touch ID, my password is a 24 character ridiculous combination of special characters, numbers, and letters (only typed on power up) - so If I ever get mugged again (highly unlikely now that I'm living in Singapore) - at the very least, they'll get the iPhone unlocked with my touch ID, and if they ask me to enter my password - zero chance of them memorizing it without taking a lot of detailed notes - which, honestly, muggers usually aren't into.
I get that the accelerometer detects the touch, and that one of the photodiodes detects a screen change, and there's another input for the mic as well. But I don't understand the purpose of the laser/laser photodiode. What is that detecting exactly? Also, where does the output of this thing go and how is it encoded? Does it go back to the device you're testing and does that affect latency?
You do realize the security lies with the keys/passwords used to encrypt, and not in the program/algorithm itself?

There'd be a huge percentage of people who if you started them down the CS path would bail very early through frustration, not feeling comfortable with the topics, etc.

I imagine many of us learn to get better at aspects of it. Or we're more comfortable with what the job entails and so can make light of the frustrations and soldier on.

Having given it considerable thought, I have come to the conclusion that I will use words like that in academic or quotational contexts, but only if I'm with company who will understand my intentions and not be offended. Although I value clarity and the ability to have thoughtful, dispassionate discussion of sensitive topics, I do not want to be an asshole, nor do I want to give the impression that I think casual usage of these terms is acceptable. Some would say that I have no right to use these terms at all, but I don't feel this is reasonable (though I won't argue this point or attempt to use such words in front of those who hold this view). The primary reason not to use these words is to avoid inflicting pain and perpetuating intolerance, but if my wife and I are having a private discussion about, say, homophobia, and I recant a story that involves the quotation of a slur, I am hurting no one and perpetuating nothing.

I would personally have elected not to use it in this case given the wide audience, but I understand that the context was not hateful and it was being used to illuminate a real situation and promote discussion. Just my opinion, not a permission slip obviously.
Just a poor choice of words! Changed it to "expertly". Thanks for the feedback.

Ask HN: Guidelines and template outlines for an online video capture service
[X-post from https://www.reddit.com/r/AskProgramming/comments/4df9dg/guidelines_and_template_outlines_for_an_online/] Too many characters to post.

Summary:

What are the common approaches with respect to architecture and tech stack when creating an
online-video capture system?

Unlike YouTube the end user does not have to wait for the video uploading process before proceeding to the next upload (which will definitely occur). Hence, that procedure will run in the background server side.

There are long-term storage requirements. 3 years of the video content. Then it may be purged.
In the dot.com bubble the market for providing services online vanished, not just the companies. In the case of a lot of the headline collapses there still isn't anyone providing the service they tried to offer. It was too early for most businesses to make anything very useful.

That isn't the case now. These unicorns have proven there's demand , they just haven't figured out a way to monetize it.

So did we make any progress in the last 50 years? Is the Flynn effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flynn_effect) a natural side-effect of the increasing complexity of a society, or the result of active work and research toward increasing society's intelligence? I'm very fascinated by this area, as I'm sure many of you here on HN are as well.

UNLESS it is a fundamentally demand starved economy where the wealth is concentrated in the hands of people that don't know how or have no clue how to increase flow of money.

Here's a clue: GDP goes up if people have money to buy things, which then causes people to get paid more and more jobs, which then gets more people money to buy things.

The "marketplace" or "free market" doesn't exist. Poof. Unless you are blind, "free markets" stabilize into cartel or monopoly power. Pick a goddamn industry, it is dominated by 1-4 players.

That's definitely true. I suppose if I were teaching a CS course, I'd point out that it can be difficult at times and that being confused or challenged intellectually is a necessary part of growth, not something to be avoided.
With such a wild variance of incoming skill levels, what is the way to make lectures efficient? I know this isn't a new problem but I see it frequently in training / classes in the industry where things are 10-100x too slow for some people, while others are lost. There is clearly a failure in assigning people to the correct course level (or offering courses at appropriate granularity), but the more scalable thing I see is offline learning where you first check out slides, then check out accompanying documentation / videos, then check google or IRC, and as a last resort you launch the nuclear option of stopping your life for 2-16 hours to sit in a room and learn synchronously. Is anywhere innovating like this?

> a natural side-effect of the increasing complexity of a society, or the result of active work and research toward increasing society's intelligence?

I think the two are interrelated, and maybe one might be a function of the other– that is, "society's intelligence" is a function of the operations we can perform unconsciously. We are more intelligent than before because we don't have to reinvent everything from scratch, we can build on what others have learnt and discovered before us.

Async is a perfect design style for these kinds of event driven chips, since you really don't need to run a fast clock if most of the time the circuits aren't computing anything ...
Unless of course all large companies are already sitting on large profit margins (they are, either explicit or just structurally sitting on them with bloated management structures), in which case the increased pay will simply help alleviate a demand starved economy, which will increase flow of money / rate of transactions and, guess what, everyone makes more money.
This makes sense into you throw OTA updates and cloud services into the mix. I'm not sure how those would even be allowed by the "the software must not change" rule. But even if you interpret it generosity, shutting down the service or pushing an update that bricks the device is very clearly an update that breaks functionality. Wouldn't that be forbidden by the above rules as well?

Also, there are "hackable" products on the market, e.g. the OpenWRT routers. Those still seem to be allowed.

Undergrads are the paying customers in you example, so they are in charge and the Nobel Prize winner is delivering a service they have paid for and his is expected to satisfy his customers!

> instructed me to unlock my phone and other personal accounts.

Given that use this tactic will probably increase over time, phones and other portable computers should really support duress passwords.

The device should look like it unlocked properly, but really put everything in a type of read-only mode where writes and certain network transactions return success but don't actually do anything. Obviously, if network access (any type) is available, some sort of silent alarm can be raised at the same time.

Gmail's conversation threading, or the Thunderbird Conversations addon, are the only thing I wish for with Mutt. I once asked on the mutt mailing list about this, but the solutions were pretty ugly, mostly involving all sent mail copied in the inbox.

Still, mutt is my main email client. I only started using it a couple of years ago, after Thunderbird started to strain with my mail folders. In 1990s college days, I used Pine. Mutt scared me back then, tho mostly because no one I saw using it then edited with Pico.
And economics has EVERYTHING figured out? At least towards an oligarchical fascist police state dystopia with monopoly or cartel control over most "free markets" and can't predict basic things like the housing mortgage crash, overexuberance in tech stocks, and the like.

It can't even fucking figure out how to fundamentally avert global disaster or total ecological destruction. It basically can see three months into the future.

So I hate to tell you, your supply/demand curves may look second-nature, and the pirates dilemma may let you sleep at night with the current distribution of wealth, but it doesn't represent chaotic, nonlinear, fly-off-the-rails reality.
Isn't there an infiltration vector glibly called rubber hose cryptanalysis to describe this very thing? Nothing is ever 100% secure for this reason alone.
Yes, it supports nested tags, and the tags create structure that suggests directory nesting. However, as far as I can tell the search can't be made to honor the nesting.

To make my example explicit above, suppose I have a "directory" structure with dirs like `conf`, `conf/iaq2016`, and `conf/gmu2012`. Then a search in `conf` will not turn up results in `conf/iaq2016` or `conf/gmu2012`.

Believe me, I check this once every few months, always hoping that google will have improved their "tag" implementation.

I do appreciate your tip about multiple browser windows, though. In general, I don't like having multiple windows open to the same application-- but that's my problem, and not a design flaw in Gmail's search.
I guess the hope would be that you have a smart mugger. A dumb one might shoot you on principle for forcing them to remember what they'd see as a ridiculous password. "Forget it man, keep the damn phone" is probably pretty unlikely. Unfortunately.

HN, thanks for this thread. I was looking for a self-hosted email newsletter solution for ages, but couldn't really find good ones. The often claimed value proposition of deliverabiliy of all the big names is a myth IMHO, at least in Germany. All the big brand names ALWAYS get put into my spam folder (GMX). Deliverability is more than Gmail lets it pass.

I used a Wordpress Plugin called MyMail for a while, but updating Wordpress is annoying and I'm always afraid that the plugin changes in some way that it breaks.

I will check out the suggested solutions here, but if anyone knows from the top of his head which satisfies these requirements, I'd really appreciate it:

- self-hosted (obviously)
- must be able to use any SMTP server
- preferrably bounce handling via IMAP
- double opt-in, which also can be disabled
- basic API support (subscribe, unsubscribe)
- one click unsubscribe
- Autoresponder capabilities (nice would be: lets me set the specific time of delivery. Say: +1 day after signup at 11am)
- reasonably fast UI

Not required:

- multi-tenant
- template builder
- fancy templates (I will use a very basic email layout)
- GeoIP
- CRM capabilities

I tried Mautic (https://www.mautic.org/) which looked promising, but the UI is so horribly slow, it annoyed me. I don't want to wait 5 seconds for every HTTP request to complete. Especially if I need to set up my email campaigns
I've only had bank apps in the UK(Barclays, Lloyds and Santander) but the app on the phone only allows you to send money to known recipients, to send money to a new account you have to log in from a normal browser and use your RSA-signer(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ee/Barclays...) to authenticate it, and no one I knows keeps theirs on them. So even if I was forced to open my bank app the worst thing they could do is see my account balance and send some money to my friends or my landlord.
Laissez-faire economics is the solution, am I right? Pure unfettered unregulated dumping of pollution into the rivers with no regulation, roving bands of thugs raiding people for jewelry (remember, laws against murder are regulation), libertarian negotiation for hazard pay with the fire department, and of course, global destruction of the ecosystem.

Yep, you got it all figured out, champ.
4 Ways to Boost Team Productivity Through Informal Communication
Well, as far as I can tell, minimum wage has been tested, and, contrary to the claims of "rational" economic theory, according to which it should cause unemployment, it doesn't. I agree that many economists do not completely subscribe to the rational choice, and by the way, many of them do support minimal wages. So my understanding of economics is not an issue here.
Following that reasoning, there are other substances that have similar short term benefits. Like cocaine.
If your business is so inefficient at generating wealth that you can't afford to give out small wage increases like this, you deserve to fold.
Yep. (This post got a lot longer than I was hoping. Hope you find it interesting!)

That ticket data is actually managed by IBM, so that even adds an annoying translation dynamic.

This current suit is because the city thinks it's 'unduly burdensome' to resolve city-owned phone numbers to names that were dialed by Chicago's mayor. Initially I could have understood that, but it became pretty clear pretty soon that they really didn't want me to have those records with these rejections:

Some more detail on the rejections I've been through this past year and 4 months:

-Original request asked for the mayor's records. Rejected for "no such records". Heh.

-Second was for the FOIA officer's phone records. Again, "No such records". (This was just a test to see if the mayor's phone was the only one without any records..... and it was kinda funny ;))

-Sent a request to Chicago's IT dept for their VOIP logs, which got me a file with the first 6 digits of all of non-government phones that were dialed. Government phones were completely redacted for "privacy" reasons. So, so many things wrong there.. especially since FOIA specifically disallows that sort of redaction.

-Sent a "Request For Review" to the attorney general's office, who took 6 months to agree with me and told the FOIA officer to give me the records. Chicago's lawyers then threw the VOIP request out, since they don't have VOIP. The assistant attorney general on the case and my lawyer both said (paraphrased) "They're right, but that's a total dick move and they know it."

-Submitted a cleaned up request, without "VOIP". They sent the same file from before. Same creation time and everything.

-Now we're waiting through the long court process...

About the attorney general's RFR process, though..

You can submit FOIA requests anonymously, but you can't submit RFRs anonymously! Their reasoning was that I need to have a valid signature with my named spelled out in plain text, despite ESIGN allowing pseudonyms. So - don't like that anonymous person? Just don't respond to their request and they'll either have to sue using their name or submit an RFR using their name. I fought that one for about a month and eventually submitted a FOIA request to the AG's office asking for the email chain that led to that decision. That got rejected with something like "deliberation discussions cannot be released."
