Funding for its construction was approved by India. We are hoping that it might coming online in ~ 5 years. It takes a long time to build everything from the ground up.
>Theoretically, a proven secure algorithm using an encryption function with a single bit key size would be perfectly fine to use

Can you elaborate? With a single bit key you can simply try both keys... right?

Yep, it's one of the places we'd love to extend this plugin too.

We'd also love help building this open source component since we're not 100% crypto experts. Its' really important to get this right!
I fully support the decision by Chrome. I hate when forms try and force it off and get me to type the same thing over and over. It's an abused attribute.
Get a PW manager instead. No passwords should be stored in your head (because every one should be different) and they should be stored behind encryption -- definitely not plain text nor sticky notes.

1) An attacker getting access will only be slowed down/detected if your firewall filters outgoing traffic, which practically no one does because of the inconvenience and maintenance costs. You also need to lock down outgoing traffic to port 80/443, which is how many intrusions download their payloads and calls home for instruction. If you however accept the cost and do use a outgoing filter, it's quite effecting in detecting and stopping attacks, and it is something I recommend for defending assets with high security demands or high risk.

2) As for configuration errors, it depends on what kind of practices you use as a sysadmin. Do you download and run random scripts found on blogs, use experimental versions, and do not spend time reading manuals? Or are you someone who will only run a Debian stable, has verbose settings in aptitude and reads patch notes? It's been a long time (i.e., almost 20 years) since the last time I saw a program that allowed vulnerable interfaces to be accessible on the network without significant warnings in the manual, comments in the config file and readme. Projects and package maintainers have significantly stepped up their security practices, that by the time something reaches stable it should be matured enough that shooting yourself by accident is difficult.
>We've had steam power, electricity, computers (and I probably forgot something)

from wikipedia, there were working industrial steam engines in 1712. The railway system in the US was started in about 1827 (over a hundred years later), and completed around 1900, about two hundred years after the technology was introduced it was useable by business owners and passengers.

Edison showed the first working electric light in 1878, it seems most people had electricity of some kind by the 1930's.

We could say personal computers were invented sometime in the 1970s, and maybe by today-ish the majority of people in the US have a computer of some kind (though that may be becoming more smartphones than computers)

I would say theres a pretty distinct trend of technology getting adapted more quickly at scale over time.

Do you honestly think the market capture rate of self driving trucks will be similar to that of steam powered engines and boats?
The question is whether the bystander effect really happened or not.

I'd like to ask all the people that claim that he raped a random person in front of a group of people: How do you feel about your own involvement in it? Do you feel any guilt at all for letting this guy just rape someone right in front of you?

Also, with your example, the power differential is drastically different. If you have 7-8 people, you can easily coerce a slightly larger crowd to not do anything under threat of violence.

If you have one guy raping someone and 20 people standing around, that is completely different from 1 guy raping, 6-7 threatening people, and 20 watching.
This is quite correct.
I see this as a good thing. Far better to streamline password management than to make it bumpy, encouraging users to use memorable passwords, which most likely will also be painfully weak.

It's a good and sane default.
I wonder what has changed his mind since he was a member of Oink, a UK torrent site aimed at music. The (very brief) article mentions it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oink%27s_Pink_Palace#Notable_u...
Some subset of the team should learn the use of tools like cobbler and puppet.
It doesn't matter if it is a good blog. Any time a blog links to another blog is blogspam. Blogspam is fine in some contexts — it's a great way to share articles between communities that would otherwise be unconnected — but it doesn't belong on a link aggregator like Hacker News. It's mandatory to always link to the original article.

I agree that pulling does appear to be more secure, but if someone breaches any of your servers undetected, you're pretty much hosed regardless.

Plus, the Inversoft guide specifically states that backups must be encrypted. I could put my backup ZIPs on a public Github repository and no one would be able to access the user data stored inside it. Therefore, it really doesn't matted if they are pushed or pulled.
Yeah, what a poser, making all that music and winning all those Grammy and Oscar awards.

I actually prefer the landscape mode with blackberry type keyboard to the wider models in particular because thumb typing while holding it is easier for me than having a wide qwerty in a small form factor.
What's the use case for not allowing autocomplete?
To give you an idea of how crazy this is. It is like measuring the distance from the earth to the sun to an atomic radius.
This is exactly right. Steam single-handedly revived the entire PC gaming market. A simple to use interface, that has your entire collection / achievements / whatever, that can be accessed from anywhere, without screwing around with keys. That's why it works.

A valid reason is a search field, on a shared system where you do not want it to autofill with past searches.

99% of the time I agree but imagine for a second a user management system that lets an administrator edit other users profiles and a browser that decides to autocomplete the email fields in the form or name etc... Better hope auto save is not a thing...

Of course when it comes to buying things online give me my autocomplete or I hate you

Take a look at the Antec ISK-110. Not as small as the NUCs, but lets you build your own machine on the cheap, and still designed to be attached to the back of a monitor.

(Won't fit a standalone GPU, but I don't think anything that can be attached to a monitor can)
I actually think that this would be really big, in addition to being able to verify whether a person who is claiming that they have met you in person have, in fact, met you before.
I'm trying autocomplete='sudo-off' now. It's not really semantic, but it does get across my intention.

(in this case, a new user form designed for a current admin. Sometimes the site developer really does know more than the browser)
No, but the early success of YouTube was due entirely to pirated movies/videos.

"We announced during the Chrome Dev Summit in 2015 that when Autofill is enabled we see 25% more forms submitted than when it's disabled [3]."

In other words, 25% more users will make it to the next stage of your conversion funnel if autofill is permitted.
Laws that try to stop people from getting what they want in what they perceive as victimless are doomed to fail, no matter how punitive the enforcement. Examples:

Yes, if you have a 3D printer: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/boards-and-ki...
What have they actually designed from scratch?
Most of what comes to mind (Facetime, filevault) it is off the shelf stuff/ at least there were well known designs to ape which had been subject to analysis. This, well if they just copied what google did, then maybe.

But at some level, my comment is pretty harsh on Apple when they have a better track record than most for privacy and encryption. But remember, this is Apple making you less secure by grabbing data and then saying they took care of the issue.

With iMessage, Facetime, Filefault, if it failed, you were were no worse off than if you used something else. In this case, you actually are. That means there is a higher burden to getting it right than just name dropping magic crypto pixie dust.
Thank you for posting this. I think paying $100 extra is not too much for saving yourself from the trouble of organising all of this. It is beautiful that the world has things for everyone to explore. I would certainly go DIY route, because I am interested in those things, but I also get that there are people who couldn't be bothered less about putting this thing together and just get the premium service.

Sure. Fix the standard, don't just make shit up.

Maybe the standards process is broken, in which case that's something that needs fixing. I can't see why the four browser makers can't create their own browser standards.
One thing you may not be considering is that the Tor community largely comprises highly libertarian or anarchist individuals. There is a strong bias against giving moral sanction to The State by utilizing the services of its judicial system.

You may not agree, but this is an important psychological factor when discussing this particular community.

I can see how it would have its place in some circumstances, but they seem to be targeting a gaming/entertainment market segment, which is problematic with Intel integrated graphics (which have improved remarkably over the years, but still trail the leading edge of nVidia and ATI GPUs by several years). And, lately, I think the folks doing heavy computation are looking to GPUs for the thinky parts; certainly scientific computing is happening more and more on GPUs rather than CPUs. So, even in those cases, I might prefer a fast GPU to a slightly faster CPU.

Anyway, the price is a little high, though I'm sure the quality is good; Intel's servers have always been excellent.
I paid for this device but I am a bit miffed at the shipping cost because I know it costs less to ship it. Look at any of the USPS flat rate offerings, and these are higher than standard postage for such a small device. Anyways it's a cool device so I just accept that they're subsidizing the cost with shipping fees.
What a great (sub) title. Thanks!
No, we should discuss issues, but it needs to be done constructively and objectively. Maybe someone writes an article that gathers all of these stories and analyzes them? If an article like that was posted, we would have something concrete to discuss. There's nothing to discuss here except the finer points of how this one particular person sexually harassed this other person.
When you say that spacetime itself is extremely stiff, I can't help myself but to visualize a lattice of discrete points through which the wave propagates through. I understand this would be the wrong way about thinking about it, but is there another way?
If there's one thing Jacob can be found guilty of, it's ungentlemanly behavior. Jake needs to be a lot smoother, and make sure that the women he's involved with don't feel ashamed after their interactions with him. To put it simply, he's creepy.

Basically what you've got here is a classic botched seduction. It probably stems from the fact that Jacob has a poorly developed sense of empathy with women, possibly dating back to a messed-up childhood.

The facts are though:

1. Alison has a "minor romantic interest" in Jake, and he invites her back to his apartment.

2. He proceeds to invite her into the bathroom and gets naked. This is moving too fast, but she still likes him, so she sits with him.

3. He convinces her to strip down to her t-shirt and panties. Again, she is uncomfortable.

4. He "nonconsentually washes" her. Now the creep factor has gotten too intense. She's being drug along instead of gently whisked through the seduction. She starts to cry and leaves.

What we are having a problem with as a society is how we view women's agency. In the past, we viewed women as mentally weaker than men, and so there were rules of conduct, such as, don't go into a man's apartment alone if you don't want to be seduced. What we have now is this strange hybrid where a woman can voluntarily go alone in the evening into a man's apartment, talk to him while he's naked in the tub, strip down to a t-shirt and panties, and when he starts to wash her, call this sexual assault and ruin his career.
It's Google's browser. This is your mistake for using Google's browser if you don't agree with what Google wants their browser to do.

Yes, by selling full CD quality or higher tracks, and with infamous "Steam Sales". There is no incentive for me to buy a lossy track, when I can just go buy the entire disc cheap online. I know most people don't care about audio quality, but this is a major contention for me.
I'm going to side with the Chrome team on this one. There's very few occasions when autocomplete being disabled makes sense, the vast majority are just developers dumping it in there because they want to make doubly-sure the user actually entered a field by hand (e.g. email addresses) and often for vaporous reasons like "Improve Data Quality," "Stop Spammers/Bots," and "Make sure the user enters the right data in the right box."

Ultimately if you want to assure data quality then use data or format validation, or verification (e.g. send an email with link). If you want to stop bots/spammers use captcha.

We did go through a period where people were "misusing" standard input boxes for other things and autocomplete would ruin that extra usage. But hopefully we've moved beyond turning an input box into a richtextbox using a complex array of hacks, and can now instead use things like Canvas.

PS - Hopefully they disable "smooth scroll" scripts next. So tired of having my scrolling ruined by "helpful" sites.
iPhone 7, New Touch Sensitive

Oink was not a business. Oink was an invitation-only BitTorrent community. Reznor even has a relevant quote in the Wikipedia article you linked:

"they're not stealing it because they're going to make money off of it; they're stealing it because they love the band"

Meanwhile, YouTube is a business, it displays ads for stolen content and everyone has easy access to it.
How many record labels are making massive profit (via bogus DMCA/Content Aware disputes) off of the backs of YouTube creators? I've had multiple videos get their adsense dollars removed because there was 5 seconds of pop music emanating from a storefront I walked by in my video.

With views and adsense revenue being heavily front loaded against the upload time of the video I have no method of recovery of those lost dollars.

I thought it was "another current corporate executive talking down a major competitor's successful product."
I've had massive problems with it for CRUD apps. Whenever you created a new user it would fill in the values from the first user you created on that system. Annoying as hell.

The other problem - that we mostly managed to workaround - is that AngularJS and some browsers' autocomplete didn't go along very well.
If you want to "turn it's features on and off", then why does the Chromium team's stance of "extensions are the standard way to enable custom behavior"[0] not apply here???

This is a classic unfortunate case of using data from the masses to drive a bad design choice because it increases "usage" along an arbitrary axis.

They can, but experience suggests that it's a high-risk situation: risk of one or both people misunderstanding or poorly communicating their intentions, risk of one party "trying something" and crossing the line with the other, and so forth.

It's better for straight, platonic friends of the opposite sex to sleep in different beds to avoid misunderstandings (or predatory "misunderstandings", for that matter).
It is a false assumption that pg's advice universally applies to all business. His advice is specific to startups, as defined by the SV crowd, which means extreme growth, intending to take on investors. If that path is not specifically in your plans, a lot of the advice coming out of VC/YC mouths should be taken with a grain of salt.
Ask HN: Migrating from Mac to Windows for development
I've been a Mac developer for 20 years now, I was very attached to the platforms until recently.

I was very disappointed by the lack of machine "for me" (I wanted a mac mini that can handle 4 external monitors but not at the price of the mac pro), so I built a hackintosh that has been working great. But the direction Apple has taken lately is not the one I want to follow, the last macOS update (siri all over the place) is not the one I want to follow.

I had windows 10 on my pc/hackintosh for a while now (dual boot), and I found myself using it more and more over the mac side of it. Recently I've been trying to get a working development environment out of it.

I tried linux, but the UI is really too sluggish, sorry for all the linux contributors, but it's not usable for me.

So, my question is what do you use for full stack (rails and now elixir/phoenix, with react/typescript/ES6 frontends) dev?

My current setup so far is to have a VM with all the tools I use (ruby, erlang, database, git...) and ssh into it from my windows machine, this covers most of the tooling for the backend. I mounted this VM thought samba and I access it from the windows side with GUI tools (atom, sourcetree).

I have a few quirks like atom plugins requiring the tools to be installed locally (linter, formatter...) or samba being a bit problematic for git (filemode have to be off).

I was wondering if I should run the editor on the VM and VNC into it, or maybe run an X server on my windows machine.

If you can share your experience, the tools you use or just tell me to have faith into Apple or whatever, please do, I'll be very grateful for any discussion now, as my morale is quite low on the subject.
I did the same on a different project. I told the guy to keep the money and spread the word or put it toward the next project.

Yes but they only started doing that after they became the go-to site for videos. If they didn't allow copyrighted materials from the beginning it never would have become the behemoth it is and more than likely would've died before it had a big enough audience to entice copyright owners to strike deals with it.
I resold some and kept about 10 of them. Waiting for mainline kernel to be finally working to have some fun setting up Kubernetes cluster. I also created Cassandra cluster just to see if that could be possible. It worked, but performance was terrible.

1) The default design of autocomplete makes your app look really bad.

2) There is an input for searching by name, email, etc. And you don't want it to auto fill with the users credentials.

That seems to include IP licensing as well, since it stipulates any new IP will be jointly owned.

It's sort of like licensing a new engine design from a major automaker (e.g. Ford) along with any proprietary technology they implement, with the agreement that any advances you make are jointly shared by you and the licensor. This might be a good deal for an F1 racing team or something, but doesn't really relate in any meaningful way to how much the auto company will charge for their engine to regular consumers.
I second this, the fact that he's making money for the lifestyle he lived is disgusting.
