Curious, why is SMS-based auth a downside in your opinion? I prefer to use SMS-based 2FA where available, as you can always pop the sim card into whatever device you have on hand and receive the code. As opposed to smartphone app, where you are tied to a particular device being available and in working order.
I am seriously uncomfortable storing any personal information in my Browsers settings. I have absolutely no guarantee that the data will not be compromised somewhere along the line. Yes it's more cumbersome to manually enter my credit card info every time I make a purchase, but I feel having the details in one place only - on the actual card - is the safest option. SO even if this became a standard in browsers I'm not sure the tech-savvy will use it.
Yes, I agree that price vs. functionality is poor. I don't understand the appeal of Apple Pay at all (at least in the UK). We have contactless debit cards for quick payments and the last thing I want to do is hand over banking details to a third party.

Apple Pay seems like the sort of thing that's needed in the US because of the woefully backwards payment infrastructure.

The takeaway for me is that (yet) another website I entered personal information has leaked it

Well, I think it's quite difficult to argue that. If you had a keylogger installed on your machine – apparently the case here – in what way did the website leak your personal information? Wasn't it the browser's fault?

I do think it's pretty illogical to complain about Twitter being vulnerable, if this leak was caused by screen-scraping malware in a browser. It's not something that Twitter can really defend against, beyond measures like 2FA.

Options are usually cash-settled so they don't have that problem
Windows has a sound server too, you know. I believe Core Audio on Mac does too. A large part of why audio is such a CF under Linux is that PulseAudio is incredibly badly written and poorly maintained. My favourite was the half-finished micro-optimization that broke some of the resamplers because the author got bored and never modified them to handle the change, which somehow made it all the way into a release. I dread to think what they'd do with powerful tools like asynchronous I/O.
The final confidence of the "diagnosis" is about 50% (you can use the Bayes formula to get that, see here http://www.visualab.org/index.php/cyberchondria-microsoft-ba...).

I like having unpaid holiday as an option, I think that's something a lot more companies should be doing. That way the company's interests are a lot more aligned with mine regarding how much holiday I take.
> many customers of those continue to pay knowingly and willingly and appreciate the convenience

Yes, I fully agree.

> Many subscription models have nothing to do with tricking people

I don't agree with this, at least for auto-renewing subscriptions; that's my point. Every piece of software sold on auto-renewing subscription has some significant number of subscribers (as a percentage of its total number of them) that don't actually want it.

That is true regardless of what the publisher intends or wants.

Obviously, the exact percentage will vary a great deal, depending on the product.

Water is an example of something where that percentage would be low — presumably, almost everybody wants their water to stay on.

Netflix, not so much; I myself once paid for Netflix for months, perhaps years, without using it once, and without wanting to keep it on "just in case". I was just too busy to cancel it the few times I thought of it (until I finally did).

Netflix is not on the sleazier side of the spectrum, though; it's quite easy to cancel.

There are, however, a lot more disgusting sleazy fuckers out there like the Wall Street Journal, MyFico.com, and Comcast, than there are Netflixes.

P.S.
As a bonus, here's my Second Law of Subscriptiodynamics:

The total difficulty in cancelling an isolated auto-renewing subscription always increases over time.

No. They do it for the same reason Google usually open sources stuff - to their own benefit. This is to give Azure a boost in customers and image, not because Microsoft "wants to help FreeBSD" or whatever. That only happens indirectly.
I find I use Apple Pay a lot in the UK despite my contactless cards because I cycle so my phone and wallet are in my bag - it's nice to only take the phone out. A cheap Apple-Pay-on-my-wrist would be cool, but I'd probably still have my phone in my pocket so I doubt it'd be a meaningful improvement at all. It's all very small though, like you said contactless debit cards are fine.
Sounds like a startup with a very short timeframe.

Yes, I understand that. Every system has good folks and bad folks. But at some point, systems reach a state where the people trying to do good in the world are actually part of the problem, not part of the solution. At that point, the system itself is bad.

In the states it matters whether you torture people. Sure, bad folks get away with it, but if you get caught, you can be assured that the system will work against you. Same goes, mostly, for killing people without reason. Several public incidents over the last few years have shown this. I think the trick is to have video footage handy.

False arrest? Not so much. Police harassment? I'm sure there are cases brought to trial, but it's really rare. Taking your money when you didn't do anything? As we can see, that's already part of the system.

So over time, the system slips into being, for lack of a better word, "evil". More and more stuff that was out of bounds becomes normal. Sadly, I honestly think the reason for this is just officers trying to do a good job. Maybe cutting a corner here or there. No evil intent required.

This is going to sound weird, but if you'd like a good example of how the US traditionally felt about Law Enforcement, watch a few episodes of the old TV show "The Andy Griffith Show" with Don Knotts in there. Perhaps follow that up with a couple of episodes of "Dragnet"

These are highly-sanitized 60s shows, but it's clear that for a population who had most men return from armed combat in WWII or Vietnam, over-zealous macho policemen were a cause of great amusement. When real crimes did occur, the cops were considered just part of the population, perhaps with more analytical skills and with a job most people wouldn't like, but not that different from anybody else.

I believe that attitude started turning in the mid 70s with the Dirty Harry movies. Crime was considered a terrible problem, and the courts were considered to be advocating letting criminals rampage. Then we had the organized crime mania. Then drugs. With each public fear-fest, legislators gave the police more and more power -- just to use against the terrible threat of the current day, of course. It didn't work out that way. Now we have cops using organized crime and drug laws against some yokel growing 3 pot plants in his basement.

You have to convince n-layers of management, who often don't even know what open-source software is and think that "if we give it away for free then our competitors can also use it."

You have to pass legal review, which can take months, possibly rewrite parts of the code that cannot be opened.

Fundamentally, big corps are inertia accumulators. Noone wants to change the status quo, and as a low-rank engineer you have to fight every step of your way.
There have been quite a few cases where malicious actors have been able to convince phone companies to forward sms messages to other numbers via social engineering to defeat this type of 2FA.
7 Most Common Issues Faced by Small Businesses in Marketing
Gallup polls have shown a majority in favour of same-sex marriage for the past few years: http://www.gallup.com/poll/117328/marriage.aspx
What about bootstrapped startups? They have to be in the black very quickly, if not from day 1. Do they count as startups?

Really, we've got four different terms we're trying to delineate.

"Exponential growth business" vs. "Incremental growth business".

and

"Unstable business with total expenses exceeding profits" vs. "Stable business with total expenses below profits"

All 4 permutations are valid. I personally like putting the startup vs. small business terms on the first category, which makes for the 4 pairings ["stable startup", "unstable startup", "stable small business", "unstable small business"]. I think this helps prevent the confusion that makes fruit stands think about E rounds.

I love PuDB. I've been using it as my debugger ever since I found out about it, and it's been great. The most useful feature is that it shows you the code you're currently executing (or that you will execute), so you get a much more expansive view of what's going on. Plus, you can drop into ipython at any time.

Well you need to ensure that two servers never re-use the same ID so they can't come up with their own ID and there must be some form of co-ordination there. You also must ensure that you never enter two things into the database from the same server within one tick of the clock. Monotonic doesn't mean you'll never get the same number twice, just that it always changes in the same direction (in this case, the timestamp never gets lower, but nothing stops you getting the same number twice).

How pandas solves statistical problems or the thousand utility functions that are missing? Please, explain.
I think that's repeatable and adaptable for two reasons:

1) technology keeps changing and it's usually easier to just write new software to take advantage of new infrastructure or design assumptions or whatever

2) almost nobody who has the expertise to do so gets paid to research pre-existing software, test it out, and find something that already exists that does the job. However, there is a large financial incentive to sell people on why they should use your new thing

So, there is never-ending opportunity to sell something new that solves the same old problem. It's a marketing-driven approach. You're basically just exploring the frontier of what people are willing to pay for, rather than the frontier of what's technically possible. It's "there's a sucker born every minute" style repeatable.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. People would have had to pay for research/adaptation to find an existing solution, so paying for development of a brand new solution is the same money. And marketing is one of those skills that's necessary no matter what your approach, so laying a foundation on top of it makes sense.

They're just two different approaches. The big idea approach isn't hand-wavy, it's just less common than the marketing driven approach. I think maybe it seems hand-wavy when people try to wear the big idea's skin like a mask cuz they don't actually have a big idea and everybody's like "grandma, what big teeth you have".

I can play Carcassonne every day for 3 months in a row, dozens of games a day, but I also had 6 months without playing at all or very rarely. I bought all the extensions too. I don't think I would subscribe, I don't like this anxious urge of needing to do something because I'm paying for it. That's why I don't subscribe to cinemas or services like Netflix. I want to be as free as possible to decide what to do in my free time and having a subscription removes some of this freedom.
With bcrypt you can set a parameter which determines how slow it is. So if hardware gets faster, you can change the parameter. (brcrypt uses 2^n iterations where n is the parameter.)

So it doesn't matter on what hardware, if you want bcrypt to take 1 second on modern hardware (for any value of "modern"), you can.
Clearly we just interpreted the semantics differently.
I believe he would have asked "What VPN software do you use" if he wanted anything other than a remote VPN service for proxy uses.

SSHing to a DO box, really has none of the attributes you would purchase a remote VPN subscription for. That's what I meant.

Anyhow, we're on the same page. OP never replied so there's not going to be an answer for what he actually meant. Again, I strongly think he would have included the word software if he wasn't looking for a remote VPN service for proxy-like purposes.

"Google Authenticator" style 2fa is an open spec. You can build your own authenticator to your own liking.

So no, "by that logic" doesn't apply. You can choose to use something else than a phone to auth, but if it's SMS based well... I just came back from a week in France where I had zero cell connectivity. Had I been using any kind of SMS based 2fa, I would have lost access to those accounts with no forewarning.

Same for me, because there is a fundamental flaw in the product:

It sucks at being a watch.

I can check my Casio without flicking my wrist. I can even take it off and place it next to my keyboard and keep track of the time.

Not possible on the Apple Watch, even more infuriating by the inconsistent detection of the wrist movement.

The Apple Watch is a watch that sucks at being - a watch.
Tl;dr I burned out.
The Apple Watch is by far their weakest product since the Puck Mouse.

The notifications are genuinely useful but the rest of it is a mess. App startup times are long enough that it's quicker to pull out your phone, unlock it and search for an app. Not that the apps are useful enough to warrant opening them anyway. The data in glances isn't frequently updated so they are next to useless as well.

And overall the UI is slow with superfluous animations. At the gym and want to switch from indoor cycle to running. It takes 10-15 seconds.

And worst of all the rate of improvements is glacier slow so it could be years before it gets better.
So you're guilty until proven innocent, police are spending the money, and 7.7% is going to the manufacturer; sounds like a racket!
It's not quite as simple as states being either "at-will" or "not at-will". Every state in the U.S. is to at least some degree an "at-will employment" state, although different states will have different exceptions.

At a bare minimum level, all states except 7 recognize public policy exceptions to at-will employment (firing employees for doing something compliant with public policy, like filing a disability claim).

At a "getting further away from pure at-will employment" level, 11 states require employers to act in good faith when firing employees (which basically excludes malicious firings)

There is an over representation of open source in the amateur and student communities because open source it's usually free while commercial products are very expensive.
It's true however that there is a tendency where open source is displacing more and more commercial products even in commercial settings. I, for example, prefer using python over matlab, even if matlab were free but I'm not very representative since I actually love programming and programming languages and don't mind working with virtualenvs and configuring emacs to my needs. Most engineers and scientists don't have the time or the intestest in learning to do so and prefer a suboptimal (in my opinion) language and more polished tools that Just Work. It's sad that to this day there are incredibly cool libraries like TensorFlow for python and yet there is nothing as easy to use for debugging or profiling as the matlab editor. I know there are alternatives, for example PyCharm, but I assure you that most non-software engineers are not willing to use "such complex" tools.

In the comment at the bottom it says: bcrypt work factor is 5, scrypt work factor is N=1024 r=1, and PBKDF2 rounds are set to 1,000.

If they did indeed use a work factor of 5 then this analysis is pretty much meaningless for bcrypt. The default is 10 and I usually use 12 myself.

Twitter hacked: Russian hacker selling information of 32M accounts
this is one of the reasons i'm quite happy with my first gen pebble: the screen is always on, so i can always see the time

i also got mine for half the original price, at $75

i think they were smart to focus on the things smartwatches actually do well: notifications, and simple remote controls (i.e. for music, navigation)

having physical buttons makes it much more useful, since i can easily perform actions without even looking at the watch, or with gloves on

and only having to charge it once a week is wonderful

i personally don't use activity trackers, but the newest pebbles include that functionality

i think android wear and the apple watch both try to do too much, and end up being good at nothing
It depends on why you're replicating but I would say in most cases you don't need to.

If you're forking your DB (i.e. there will now be two copies that will diverge from each other) than sure, you would need to replicate your filesystem. But that's not complicated (copying directories is a solved problem).

If you're talking about replication for performance reasons, then DB replication and file replication aren't necessarily going to go hand-in-hand, and the solutions are going to look fairly different (for web apps, "file replication" probably looks like a CDN).
Yes and no - the dplyr example code heavily used pipes but that's really a feature of Magrittr package. You can used dplyr without pipes.
