Emphasis mine. I agree with ryanlol here. Why bother with active attacks when you can just steal their private key from a code execution?

Similar to this, but with the priority flipped:

Actually that's an interesting point - Oculus has shown that you can do tracking and display updates on a traditional display fast enough to appear more or less fixed to the world.

But Magic Leap's display has a physically spinning component. I wonder if you move quickly there is a gyroscopic precesion effect that distorts the display...
That's actually doing you a service - Facebook maintain a database of malware sites, and they run the link through it to make you aren't going to be exposed.

Of course, they don't really do this for your benefit, as it also enables them to track metrics on which links get clicked.

We're talking about Chrome, a browser that comes as the default setting on zero major operating systems.

That could work. As the bike is going up to the start house, they have to put it through the backscatter machine. Just having it there, and saying they're going to randomly choose and at least 60% of the teams will have to go through it, could be a powerful deterrent. Also, I think they should up the penalty for bike doping. Lifetime ban for having a motor in your bike.

Interestingly, the thing that drains my battery most is running a VM in virtualbox, even when it's doing nothing.

I'm not really surprised by this, but it would be interesting to see how much Virtualbox hooks into the power-saving functionality on the host machine, and if this can be optimized. I'd have thought that a VM that's pretty much idle would be able to somehow utilize the host computer's power saving methods. Maybe it can, but I haven't enabled it in the VM settings... Any tips?
That's why I use Safari as well. The difference in power usage is enormous between Safari and Firefox.

I have Windows on Bootcamp but I don't know if Microsoft breaks down power usage like Apple does. I could compare Firefox to Edge, otherwise.

"Fortunately, I've never seen this manifest in a startup before my own eyes (at least in an extreme way)"

That's because, however tough the entrepreneurship may seem, the businesses are part of the larger society which is collectively protected to a high degree from many society-devastating causes. I've mentioned this before¹: "The world around you and your loved ones is relatively safe thanks to multitude of operating services that make sure that the individuals roaming free are not that crazy, not that malevolent, not that contagious, and in short will not have that much of a negative impact on society at large (which includes you)." Of course, the environment of the Dwarf Fortress does not promise you that kind of protection.

The pieces of the study you quote don't disagree with me.

Read figure 8. The correlation between various local area characteristics (which include health care and income inequality) were correlated with bottom income quartile life expectancy. The confidence intervals for this do not exclude zero.

What part of the study do you believe shows a statistically significant relationship between income inequality or health care and life expectancy?
Looks like someone is wearing it.
Sure. I won't have the money for the new MBP, but I am excited for it. I was able to get the current MBP (early 2015) through work. As an aside, I bought it 2 weeks ago, and called about the e2015 distinction.

However, I just mean do the ghz mean anything? In 3 years the flagship MBP has moved .1ghz about. From a hardware stand point, is the type (e.g. skylake) a bigger indicator of performance than 2.9ghz or something.

I guess in most basic terms, for all intents and purposes, how much faster is a 2012 MBP with intel i5 2.6ghz v 2015 MBP with intel i5 2.6ghz. All other things equal?
Good reasoning here. Bluebird also has alot of utility methods that native promises don't have/support.

I think it would be more accurate to say people are in Facebook instead of on Facebook.
Broken link :(
Yeah, Facebook is nice. I actually spend about 30 minutes in an entire day (open it in the morning, open it in the evening), catch up on what family & friends are postin', maybe venture into a shared post's comments (I like watching trainwrecks), and then I'm done.

And then once every few months, I decide to dig in to someone's FB page/photos since I haven't thought about them in a long time and what to see what they've been up to.

I get enjoyment out of it. I don't understand why the people who hate it, hate it so much.
The problem is even if we discover and obtain 100x more resources, that wouldn't solve the pollution problem. Life continues forward but creates entropy around it. Non biodegradable byproducts and all that carbon being released from the ground are the greatest threat to life on Earth!

There are two things you can do:

1. Watch the outbound traffic and attempt known-plaintext attacks

2. Reverse engineer the app

Neither is particularly difficult. Most Android apps are trivial to break apart using Lobotomy. A large swath of software security folks specialize in binary auditing.
That might sound expensive, but in fact it's only $330 per megapixel!

I'm in the same boat as you. I've got an Air, and it's the perfect machine for me. I even prefer it to my more-recent 15'' pro at work -- the retina display will someday be great, but right now tons of websites still don't do retina, and the video card/apps just aren't quite up to pushing that many pixels smoothly (fucking itunes scrolls at like 1FPS on the retina, as on example).

But...you can see where Apple is coming from. Between the increasingly powerful tiny Macbook and the increasingly tiny powerful Pro, it's a small slice of use cases indeed left for the Air, and I see why they're ditching it. Still makes me sad though.
Tourist is hard to start out with, then gets relatively easy. High-level tourists (post-Quest) used to be extremely easy due to the Platinum Yendorian Express Card and a wand of polymorph being able to provide unlimited polypiling (Dr. Efembe, I presume!). Now restrictions on recharging wands and on polypiling take away that advantage.

Archaeologists are also hard to start out, but Lawful alignment, good aptitude for the sabre skill, and a starting tinning kit make them easier later on.

I've been testing these kinds of searches every now and again for a few years now (and complaining about it on HN regularly). The malware ads are generally intermittent and won't show all of the time. That doesn't mean they don't exist.

I can assure you that for many years Google has been serving ads that link to malware for search terms like "firefox". I've seen them across different machines, different browsers, different ISPs, different OSs.

The situation with firefox seems better now but only because Mozilla is seemingly buying up all the ads for searches with "firefox" in.

Am I the only person who doesn't want this tech? I love what's going on with VR and tried out a Vive this weekend, but this kind of AR just seems like it would be somewhat annoying. It would be tons of pop-ups, notifications, etc that would detract from one's quality of life. I suspect keyboard/mouse and monitor will hard to unseat in the workplace, the same way we didn't give up on laptops and desktops for ipads.

I'm already fighting this battle with my android watch. Every so often some app decides that I want notifications and then my watch vibrates what's essentially a marketing message and I, of course, check thinking its a text message or email. Thankfully this is easy to disable on a per app basis, but I can imagine it'll be much worse on AR when developers have our entire field of view to post marketing messages on. AR gaming seems like it would be pleasant, but do I really want my living room the background of all my games? Seems to me VR is the better solution in gaming, especially with cameras mounted on VR headsets like the Vive has.

AR is starting to feel like the Kinect or Google Glasses all over again. We're getting these amazing demos and everyone is excited, but no one is really thinking usability, interfaces, social exceptions, and realistic applications. Or considering how much more mature VR is right now and how it might just eat AR's lunch. With VR you are at least socially signaling "I am in a different space and not here with you", but with AR you are socially signaling "I'm here but I'm projecting a mustache on you for my own amusement and partially ignoring you while I watch funny youtube clips" which will make people uncomfortable the same way Google Glasses did.
To be fair, people who have actually used Hololens tend to be pretty impressed.
Just picturing the uproar over a space polar bear clinging to a tiny asteroid.
Let me reduce the issue to the bare essentials:

We can find lots of resources and turn them into useful energy and things.

But that only exacerbates the pollution issue, regardless of where we obtain the resources. Especially noxious is the non biodegradable pollution and the millions of years worth of carbon released from the ground.
Retric didn't make a categorical statement, a single counterfactual doesn't contradict the "mostly".
Although that seems a bit reckless: only having 3 months runway; good job executing and sticking to it. I'm impressed you didn't just find another job once you had your injury.

Unfortunately, no. We are slowly moving away to a streaming infrastructure, so I've been mostly trying to "keep it running" until we are done replacing it. Sorry.
I think that's the distinction and I think it's a valid one. My experience on Aliexpress, Amazon, and Ebay (to name the 3 I use the most) is that the web and mobile interfaces and use cases are still quite distinct from each other. On Aliexpress, I sometimes use the mobile to checkout for the explicit discount, but never search from mobile. On Ebay, I respond to bidding alerts on mobile, but don't initiate transactions/searches on mobile. On Amazon, I basically never use their mobile app (and usually use google to search Amazon's [web]site).
Those industries mainly go to areas where there are large supplies of educated workers. And of course the workers go to where there are large numbers of jobs. It's difficult to start a new hub because neither group will move in large numbers without the other group already being present.

I'm not convinced, correct me if I'm wrong, that you really missed anything by not knowing about your friends' baby until a few weeks after.

A quick explanation: immediate family, you would have known without FB's involvement. Closest friends, same. Wider friends you see less often, maybe might have been mentioned at some point during the pregnancy, you can mark it off on a calendar and guesstimate arrival of baby. Friends you never see who've had a baby? Your definition of friend is stretched very thinly at that point, even if you were once close friends. Knowing/not knowing at that point makes very little difference to your ongoing relationship, particularly if it wasn't mentioned once during the previous 9 months.

I agree that email has become a second class citizen to social media sites, despite it being completely open and able to conduct group chats (albeit slightly painfully) for events etc.

The only thing many people are waiting for at this point is a suitable replacement for private, widely-used social comms that encourages more human interaction, without the manipulation and monetisation of relationships.

I agree that this _is_ a security breach if there's a legal agreement (a contract or TOS), and in this case this is certainly not a question of ethics.

But in my case, this is happening with informal communities.

And btw, in case of Slack and HipChat, the data isn't "on-site" to begin with: it's already on someone else's server :)

Also I want to point out that there's reason why users want to have their own copy of the conversation history. Most admins don't care about preserving history, especially if this means any hassle. Slack, for example, keeps just 10K recent messages for free teams, and having full history requires paying for Slack. If they can't pay or won't pay, the users are out in the cold. What else can the poor sods do?

OP here.

Bluebird provides a lot of really useful methods and abstractions over promises that we use on a daily basis. Basically all the methods I point out in the article are not part of the Promise spec (and probably won't be). The other thing that Bluebird helps a lot with is providing functionality around transitioning from non-promise code to promises by providing methods such as `promisify`, `promisifyAll`, `fromCallback`, and `asCallback`.
I still don't understand how opening up the codebase would prevent them from being successful.

As the countless messaging apps out there demonstrate, the value of communication apps lies in the network they build. If they provide a decent UX, and successfully bootstrap a network large enough, it wont matter if their code is open.
These are all valid points, if you're running a laptop machine. As someone who runs a desktop machine, 1 through 4 are not an issue for me.

That's sort of like watching a video game cinematic trailer, and saying no post processing was done on the rendered video. That might be true, but it doesn't represent the gameplay, or in this case, the experience of using the device.

Most of this video makes absolutely no sense. What messages is the user browsing? E-mails, or some type of Magic Leap messaging system? How is the 3D map of Everest generated, a trail marked out and animated on it, and attached through a message by a child? Or what about the storefront browsing 3D shoes? We could have 3D scanned shoes displayed on the internet at the moment, but no one wants to see 3D shoes, they want to see a few high resolution photos of the actual product.

Right now, they're not showing any real world use cases, and just prerendering fictitious interfaces. I feel like this demo is completely out of touch with reality. No one is going to be sending 3D presentation messages. No one is going to be making 3D storefronts. It has nothing to do with technological limitations, they're just not efficient or practical.

This demo is trying to show how it can enhance my daily life while browsing messages and content online. So, let's see someone interacting with Gmail, Spotify, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, etc. Show me why I'd want to use this device and not pull out my phone to browse e-mails or storefronts.

dollars/cents per watt should be a standard measure. Plus, the VOX article states that "...we'd also likely need to rethink how we install solar panels. After all, the panel itself is only half the cost.".
I'm not skeptical that this is real footage "shot from Magic Leap technology", however I am skeptical that the final product will be anywhere near this good. Microsoft announced HoloLens around a year ago now (I think?) and they were able to show videos like this at that time. My expectation of what the disclaimer in this video is saying is that you can use Magic Leap "technology" without using the consumer hardware. Microsoft has shown us how amazing this technology can be when you hook it up to very expensive gear that's tethered, etc.

HoloLens probably represents the best technology we've ever seen in this field, and even still you have a very limited FOV and 3D capability in the consumer product.

Sorry, but I don't think Magic Leap developers have the ability to solve this problem better than Microsoft Research.
They are just showcasing all the possibilities. Their demo could be more 'real'.
