Many comments here say that it is an intrusion of privacy but a random machine sitting some corner of the world, parsing boatload of data(including yours) and detecting that there is an act of terrorism and in effect saving people. I am OK with that machine parsing through my data. I feel that when you write your email or uploading photos on FB/Instagram or send a tweet ,A machine is already doing that and many people still use all these services . Also technically some Facebook/Google/Twitter employee can look at all those data if he wants to.So i believe govnt should get a provision to look deep into the data if it needs to save a one person or a hundred people.I do reflect the concerns discussed here [1]

I am saying that a provision should be given for government or any agency if it helps saving people's lives but only with a warrant or better scrutiny for the request. Shouldn't that be the case?

On Android, KeePassDroid registers as a keyboard to prevent other apps from retrieving your passwords from the clipboard. Not super familiar with iOS, but it seems like a good practice anyway, independent of its utility in circumventing asinine "no pasting" policies.
A tor-ified github clone would be interesting. You'd probably see a lot of cool pro-freedom software projects that are illegal in their originating country, like this one.

But I'm saying the effect could be a net transfer from taxpayers (people with medium to high income) to landowners especially real estate companies. Since much housing stock is owned by a business which may even be operated at 0 net income... which means the business would be paying no corporate income tax. And the property taxes are incredibly low in CA since prop 13 applies to commercial real estate as well. So it's likely to mean the personal taxpayer (income tax and sales tax account for the majority of the revenue) subsidizing the real estate companies.

I don't know how strong the effect would be, but if true, the effect of basic income would be a strong subsidy from taxpayers to real estate companies.
The article outlined a way for websites to check this: count the number of key press events (filtering modifiers of course) and the number of characters. Or you can imagine a particularly asinine site performing some statistical analyses on your keystroke timing (flight time and dwell time) and even deduce whether it's typed by a human or not. The thing is, this is a policy issue, not a technological issue.
How is that worse than posting a paywalled link? That annoys me much more...
Caltech's Scientific Glassblower is retiring
The person he was suing wrote a book and repeated the story. In addition to claiming it on a talk radio show. Dead or not the story was now to a national audience due to even more publicity from the movie about Kyle. A jury judged that story a lie. Having a widow has no bearing on this situation.

Would you let a lie about your character and stating you wanted more SEALs killed stand?

Actually, it is the other way round: 69% of Germans wanted Britain to stay. Since the beginning of the year support for the EU rose and now for the first time a majority of Germans (45%) think that the EU has more advantages than disadvantages (38% think both advantages and disadvantages, 14% more disadvantages) [0].

Also: If you look at the numbers also from the Brexit votum, you will see that young people are very much pro EU.

> Appearing in court without representation

From https://lavabit.com :

> It took a week for me to identify an attorney who could adequately represent me given the complex issues involved – and we were in contact for less than a day when agents served me with a summons ordering me to appear in a Virginia courtroom (over 1,000 miles from home). Two days later, after admitting their demand to my lawyer, I was served a subpoena for the encryption keys – also marking the first time they put their demand in writing.

With such short notice, my first attorney was unable to appear alongside me in court. Because the whole case was under seal, I couldn't admit to anyone who wasn't a lawyer that I needed help, let alone why. In the days before my appearance I would spend hours repeating the facts of the case to a dozen attorneys, as I sought someone else that was qualified to represent me. I also discovered that as a third party in a federal criminal indictment, I had no right to counsel. Thus my pleas for more time were denied. After all, only my property was in jeopardy – not my liberty. My right to a “fair hearing” was treated as a nuisance, easily trampled by a team of determined prosecutors. In the end, I was forced to choose between appearing alone, or face a bench warrant for my arrest.
Ask HN: Immutable data structures for the back end?
Immutable data structures are being adopted on the frontend with frameworks like redux. Can this same concept be applied to the server? An express like framework that works with immutable state?
Are there any examples of this being done?
I would suggest another command. Instead of "XXX:extract" I use my little shell script, which runs correct unarchiver basing on the file name (or series of unarchivers for common cases like .tar.gz). So you don't have to memorise every command out there. Another useful functionality is to create a separate directory, if archive contains multiple "root" files, so the current directory won't be polluted by the bad archive.
I suspect the poor will loose as well, they are the ones who have been beneficiaries of the EU. Not only that but the UK effectively shifted its politics to the right on Thursday, Boris and Gove weren't fighting to leave the EU so they could shower money on the less well off.
First, I think it's disingenuous for an author to revel only in the positive reviews and "just ignore" the negative. An author should take all feedback and do the best with it he/she can. I read all reviews, and try to find anything I can in there to get better. That's why I'm sending this reply.

You probably think I should just "ignore the trolls" and you probably also think that anyone's negative expression is "freedom of speech" and that it shouldn't be countered.

I don't see it that way. The public ratings on my books are how a lot of people figure out if the books are worth looking at. No matter how legitimate or crazy a negative review may be, the one star hurts my overall rating exactly the same.

Furthermore, if I let a negative review go unanswered, I've lost an opportunity to show other readers a different perspective, and I've also lost the opportunity to (perhaps) engage in productive discussion that helps either that reviewer, or myself, or both, get better. Yes, this has actually happened before on a couple of occasions.

I don't think I'm reacting poorly by trying to find useful stuff even in the negative reviews. And I also don't think it's wrong to point out that unhelpful reviews are unhelpful.

I'm sorry this comes across as off-putting. But it's because I care so deeply about improving JS education through these books.
Or people could just stop moving to SF already. Supply and demand works two ways, and it's not like the SF housing shortage is a secret.
This is eastern Russia. Acreage isn't the problem. These animals are being attracted to human settlements by food, what we call garbage. In all likelihood the bear population is higher than can be naturally supported due to the extra food being tossed at them by humans. Canada has just as many bears and has dealt with the problem through changes in our behavior. Problem bears are still often shot (far more humanely btw than in the OP) but attacks on humans are extremely rare.
Thanks for the well-reasoned and well-explained post. I still instinctively disagree, but I need to go make a cup of tea and ruminate a bit before I can fully explain why.

My biggest concern is that centralization necessarily leads to a central point of failure. While someone might be able to run their own fork of Signal in that case (kudos for making the server open source as well as the client!), nobody seems to be trying right now. Contrast that with email, XMPP, or HTTP, where millions of people have developed the operational skills necessary to do a modern deployment.

Your point about people moving between services instead of between providers seems true enough, in every space except for chat. People choose their chat provider based almost entirely on what their friends and colleagues use. Look at Facebook Messenger, Google Talk/Hangouts, even the ancient Yahoo Instant Messenger - all have significant user bases, despite not being number 1 technically in basically any category.

As for a truly federated applications protocol (with no implicit centralization), HTTP springs to mind. Despite your argument about HTTP being stuck in the 90s, a number of significant changes have occurred in this century. WebSockets, HTTP/2, and nearly ubiquitous TLS, among others, not to mention all the improvements in the browser space now that we finally have a sane standards process. And all of this is possible despite the fact that no single company has a majority of either server or client implementations. More importantly, HTTP is used in a far different way today than it ever was in the past. Instead of delivering pages of content over fast pipes to desktops, HTTP delivers rich web apps over flaky wireless connections to handheld computers - and the same protocol developed in the 80s has evolved nicely to serve both of these purposes.

Federation may not be the best answer for OWS, and it might not even be the best answer for the Signal community (today), but it is not necessarily the kiss of death for a project either.
Great question, I just learned something.

A boolean matrix multiplication problem can be turned into a CFG problem. Therefore, an algorithm that solves CFG problems can be turned into an algorithm that solves boolean matrix multiplication.

Dan? Hi! Hope you're well!
I don't think there was much thinking behind it at all, people saw headlines that there were 350,000 people coming to the UK and didn't like it.
True, and XML as well. But double-quotes are by far the norm. (Why? I don't know... :)
Exactly my experience. OS X sucks donkey balls for developers. Windows is SO MUCH better... but then nothing beats Linux... a proper one that is... which is called Ubuntu LTS.

"Never walk your dog, don't go outside alone, and for God's sake don't sit on benches" is not remotely practical advice. It sucks that these people have to deal with the fallout of irresponsible clear-cutting, but you can't ask people to turn off their lives like it's no big thing.
It looks like Conversations has implemented the Axolotl ratchet for XMPP as "OMEMO". I need to do more research to see how I can get support for that on all of my devices.

To be clear, you are saying that because you are "OK with that machine parsing through [your] data", you think that should authorize the government to parse through my data? Why should your set of values for privacy and lack of care for its preservation affect my right to privacy?

I understand the desire to stop stupid users from being stupid, however outright preventing user best practice unless they resort to somewhat exotic workarounds is completely inexcusable.

> we really should re-evaluate all the above assumptions

I would not consider anyone supporting these practices remotely competent. There should not be any need to re-evaluate anything.
Lol. Did you read that this bench is also right beside some unsecured dumpsters? Clearcutting isn't the problem.

>>Two bears feasted on watermelon rinds in the dumpster across from the Great Wall so many nights in a row that locals parked their cars nearby and waited for them to appear, hoping to make home movies.

Not sitting on benches near piles of food is very practical. Not walking your CAT in bear country is too.
Reddit has good discussion of this story:

To summarize: it sucks for anyone to lose their home, but in this particular case the details are a bit confusing (what about rent control? doesn't eviction take a while? etc.).
I do not want to crush anybody. I want to salvage what is left of the EU. We can not allow for uncertainty, since now we'll get 20 more referenda all around the EU.

YOU have decided, and must take responsibility. We can not wait for years while your jonsons, farages and whoever sort their internal politics.

Cameron called the referendum and assured in case of defeat he would activate article 50 immediately. He must deliver. You have two years time to negotiate anyway.

I am sorry for the UK, I really am. I think you were an important partner, even though a bit unfair. But we must respect your decission: we can not pretend this is business as usual. The british people have voted, and we must respect that.

Specially sorry for the remainers, but this is something you need to sort out internally.

You are a sovereign nation.
Yes but it's kind of like "Fox News" versus most of the other ones. At least from my trivial purusual of them, many others lean the other direction, so the sum...
I can cook! I've made Chicken Cordon Bleu!

But cooking is never as easy as what you're saying. I get home, just thinking to figure out what to make is a pain and sometimes leads to not eating at all. I have to thaw the meat I want to use, takes far too long. Cooking sometimes takes long. Need ingredients I thought I had but don't. Go to buy the ingredient, get the wrong thing, now I've got two of what I don't need and none of what I do.

I don't consider myself inept but with cooking it's really hard to make it happen when I need to eat.

edit as regards a previous post: Alternative hospital shakes and such tend to be extremely high in sugar, and low calorie. If you calculate how much sugar you'd end up getting in for 2500 or 3000 calories a day, it's terrifying.

I don't use Soylent. I eat a ton of nuts to supplement my caloric intake of regular meals. But it looks amazing and I don't understand why people seem almost offended it exists.
That's still not a very good reason.

If you're security conscious, you shouldn't be typing passwords at all. You should generate them from a password manager and paste them into the field both times.

It boils down to security theater making us all less secure.
One reason to dissuade users from using the clipboard to paste passwords is this: the password stays in the clipboard.

Not all users realize this, and so .. don't 'clear' the clipboard after logging in .. which means their password is still available to anyone else who might use that computer.
"AKAIK, bind does not support handling such queries."

AKAIK, there is not a server in existence that handles such queries.

Cache snooping is not very reliable. I tested the 999 open resolvers listed in resolvers.txt for example.com and only 643 of them returned an answer. 13 of those answers were fake.

Moreover, there are at least hundreds of thousands of domainnames that will not be in any given cache.

Finally, most internet users are probably not using open resolvers. They are more likely using the ones provided by their ISP, which are not open.

Anyway, I doubt anyone is ever going to release a non-recursive resolver.

I have my own solution which is too embarrasing to release but I can tell you it is usually faster than a recursive resolver if the cache is not already primed with the right records.

To me, "non-recursive" resolution means something specific -- no use of DNS caches. And because of that there's no risk of "cache poisoning".
Recent attacks have occurred even without widespread use of encrypted chat. There is no evidence that mass surveillance actually stops terrorism.
Isn't the idea that, it wasn't bear country before that point?

That is, there weren't bears going in the town?

> remember your password

Starting with the premise that users should be remembering passwords at all is a mistake.
From the Alien article:

Thats because (overall)you are richer: the EU works at the region level. Besides, the EU is not only money, there are also intangibles.

Besides, you are counting only EU related expenditures. Are you counting indirect benefits? How much money makes london operating EUR finantial center? And lots of other indirect benefits.

That is great! Could you create a Github Issue to move forward with that?
The worst is websites which not only disable pasting but don't even let you type your password in. Instead you have to use their janky on-screen keyboard to fumble your way through login.

I got so fed up with TradeKing (which has horrible security practices in general) that I close my account.

That's why you should use Lastpass.
When I was at school participating in a legal clinic I had lots of clients facing eviction and we had plenty of tricks to use. Most popular was to demand a jury trial, which could take a month or two to organize, during which time the tenant wasn't paying rent and so could save enough to move.

The basic procedure:

http://www.courts.ca.gov/27723.htm
We don't need highrises. We could cut the cost of housing in half by increasing the supply by 30% (i.e., around 110,000 units), and we could do that by converting 6% of the city's single-family houses into six-story apartment buildings. The other 94% of the houses could stay the same, and no other plot of land would need to change. No buildings taller than six stories would be necessary.

Not concerned about security, but about the direct user experience. The user won't know that they've mistyped their password, won't potentially won't return when they can't log into their account.
As someone running a user-facing site, you cannot control whether your users use password managers. So what's your solution? Just disregard the segment of your users who don't use password managers? That's a tradeoff that you might not want to make, depending on your business.

Also, if you're someone who uses a password manager, does disabling pasting really make you less secure? I assume you're still generating passwords; you just have to retype them. So maybe less convenient, but less secure is kind of a stretch. (By the way, I personally use KeePass, and I generally use auto-type instead of pasting, so I'm not inconvenienced at all.)
So, login form can just clear clipboard instead in onsubmit() handler.

I think this is a bit of an orthogonal issue. Inversion of control is a problem that can be solved at the language level with coroutines / continuations / threads / etc without forcing you to choose a special type of algorithm.
Yes, but they will not be too clear about their elephant in the room: this will have demonstrated that free speech is not possible. Many here seem to believe in free speech, freedom to express anything, is an absolute. But it is not and cannot be. Tolerance has limits, and its limits is intolerance. Tolerance can happen only inside a framework, a common ground where the parts agree on some values, agree to tolerate each other.

Same with free speech: it is possible only inside a framework, with some higher order rules and agreement. One of them could be that you are allowed to tell others your opinions only if you would agree to carry them publicly on your back when waking your kids in the streets. This would certainly moderate a lot. Or, closer to the topic, I should be allowed to upload a video only if I'd be ok with my kid knowing I uploaded this video when they get to be my age.
But one of these is the market functioning correctly - people moving to places with good jobs. The other is the market being manipulated to serve the interests of a relatively small group of people - restricting housing supply.
As Med student, i really enjoyed watching anatomy & physiology course. It's accurate and not over simplified. I have recommend it to a ton of people !
I guess the question they're trying to answer is "will poor people use this as a means to step up" because...for somebody already making 100K/yr I'm not sure how much effect the extra $12 or $15K is going to have, honestly. I mean nicer vacations? a slightly better house? The only real interesting data point to me is for the poor people, does it allow them to "step up". It might, today's US dole just provides at most food and shelter, so perhaps they'll use the money to ... get some education. Of course, if that were the case wouldn't they already be using their yearly "tax refund" to go and get education? Most people don't seem particularly adept at that for some reason...
> So what's your solution?

Allow pasted passwords if they meet a very high password-quality heuristic; deny them if they seem too guessable.
