Hey Josh, the advantages are similar as compared to a garden, except the containers solve some of the problems (such as optimal watering). Probably the biggest advantage is you get fish as part of your harvest.
Any questions or suggest?

Here is someone else who reverse engineered a slightly more complicated WiFi based protocol: https://github.com/beville/flux_led.

It's pretty well done, though he also has these magic numbers around that he couldn't quite figure out what they were there for. I used this and hacked an amazon button to control my home lighting and it works great.

All these seems like more argument to standardized IoT.
Big companies aren't going to gamble their future without support. And they probably don't want to deal with a single guy they find on the Internet for security/bug fixes in a forked version of Python.

It's not a drug test that's faulty here.
There is an obvious difference between being coerced by force and having no option due to circumstance.

Someone purposely pushing someone over a cliff is not the same as someone running out of water in the middle of a trek across a desert because the oasis they expected had run dry.

The point is that a spiritual cofounder is just as legitimate as an actual blood-and-sweat cofounder.
No, he was not an active shooter.

The FBI definition is "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a conﬁned and populated area".

He was cornered in a parking garage, not active.
MS saw the rise of java in the enterprise business as a real threat to their core revenue stream, so they copied the entire idea.
.NET runtime is akin to the JVM, the architecture is the same. What MS did for differentiation is to decouple the lang from the VM from the start, the you have C#, VB.NET, F#

In the java world there's something similar, but it is no designed from the start for several high-level language flavors.

OpenJDK still was a threat, so they're (MS) more inclined now to open source NET Core.

Today you can choose Java & NetBeans over .NET and V.Studio and will see only minor differences. I mean in tooling and architecture. Today Java seems closer to Open Source than MS, even if MS is "trying". Java & Netbeans are the same on Windows or Linux, of course NET is not.
Thanks. "Fragile" made sense, "fluffy" was new to me.
There's a brief mention in the article of non-lethal measures being used in previous cases. I wonder if maybe they tried to do the same here, but it went wrong. For example, maybe the explosive was only intended to incapacitate, but was accidentally too powerful, or the suspect was too close, or some other factor caused it to be lethal instead.
Great. The info-graphic looks fantastic and it's quite accurate according to my own personal knowledge, I've experimented quite a bit with a lot of the tools that you mention. Great work!

One thing I don't understand how Signal implemented by platform providers is supposed to work with lawful interception? Either it doesn't work, in which case we expect law enforcement to just give up the right to wiretap things with a warrant (which seems unlikely) or it does work and is less private than one would expect.

The only deal breaker I've hit is the inability to return multiple result sets with the built in SQL package.

I haven't missed generics that muc, but it would be nice to be able to do things like sorting without implementing a sorter interface.

I can live with this though because everything I've written in go so far had been easy to reason about and most importantly it "just works". I can read anyone's code an understand what it's doing. Can't really say that's been true in the 25 years I've been doing this.

Very very high chance that this is a marketing piece by SA--this has been their main marketing strategy for awhile.

At the same time, the "everybody is doing it angle" is basically true, especially in the cities with lots of attractive girls (LA, NYC, Miami, etc). My gay friends who sponsor younger dudes confirm the same on that side.
For one, device-native binaries have to be signed in order to actually run on the phone (well, without introducing some other tweak such as explicitly permitting unsigned applications).

Implementing this with JS is far, far, far more difficult, and the only solution known (touched on in my other comments) still pisses people off because it's running in a web context that, if improperly mitigated, can still facilitate disruption via code injection i.e. XSS.

That said, we're all conveniently ignoring the fact that all of this assumes that the devices themselves haven't been owned. If you think you're a target of entities capable of getting into a fully patched phone, you've got bigger problems.

If you're dropping by defcon, you should catch the talk. There'll be very little focus on this mechanism specifically since we want to share a bunch of things people can actually freely use (and this isn't one of them), but you can catch Ryan afterwards and spark a conversation to find out more.

He was armed, had shot officers in the immediately recent past and had threatened to do so again in the future. By absolutely every legal definition of imminent threat this person was one. Every active shooter is an imminent threat.

If this goes in front of a judge it will be ruled that he was an imminent threat. There's really 0 question about that.

I say this as someone who feels strongly that lethal force is used far too often, and that there is a massive racial disparity in that use of force.

I think the issue here is the hostility of the go community historically to pretty much any kind of criticism on pretty much any front.

(want generics? too bad! don't like the syntax for [thing]? too bad! want a framework? you're doing it wrong! want to test without using actual sending network traffic? BAM! 50 downvotes on SO for 'poor question'. Got some feedback and post it to golang nuts? HA! Prepare to be shouted out)

...but slowly we're seeing things move to a more moderate and mature state now where people are actually solving problems (like vendoring and SetDeadline()), rather than just pretending everything is ok, and building really good things with it, like go-kit.

It's just go growing up and being used seriously by people; but to be fair to the parent post, if you've used go in the past, I can see why you might have some opinions about it not being run by grown ups.

Worth having another look though. These days, it's pretty good.
It's not about saying if it's ok or not, of course it's not.

What you are missing is that with the disruptor pattern you can do this lock-less while keeping the order: The producer gets a sequence number before accessing the space in the queue. This seqno guarantees the order of consumption so there will be no reordering of events on the consumer side. After creating the message, the producer commits this id. Meanwhile the consumer waits for the next seqno to become committed and consumes it.

I have implemented a multiple producer, single consumer variant in C for logging and it works quite well. Loggers can write their message concurrently to the ring buffer, but the order will be correct in the log file.
The most surprising thing in this piece was that Homeland Security is shutting down sugar daddy websites for facilitating prostitution. I thought they were only supposed to go after a different type of threat. This expansion of scope is troublesome.

Also, blood found in a relatively large vein is much closer to the body average than that found in a capillary area, where much of the liquid is from extracellular space and not even coming from within blood vessels. Of course, extracellular space is filled from blood serum, but a lot of stuff has different concentrations in ECF.
Mostly yes. Perhaps the thing to note is that the Disruptor moves the logic for manipulating the the indices outside of the ringbuffer itself. Allowing multiple independent consumers to exist.

The idea behind he Disruptor is to move data between threads in a contention free manor.
Rogue browser plugins can be discounted as that's tantamount to a compromised device in the context of a downloaded E2EE app. MITM, well it's E2EE with trust-on-first-use for the crypto logic and implements the works when it comes to web security protocols, such as HPKP. There's enough mitigation there. TOFU in this context would mean once you visit once, the logic that's pinned in the browser then performs signature validation on crypto logic from then on.

No one's gonna get it perfectly right. Signal's probably the closest in terms of the cleanness of the protocol. It'd be neat to see Cyph implement the Signal Protocol in-browser as well, but that's neither here nor there. Ultimately, all of this will shift an attacker's focus away from owning the messaging application (or any component of it, be it the servers, the connection, etc.) to owning the devices and the users directly.

Your next technical battles will be in device security and user-friendly secure authentication. Your existing wars against your users (think phishing) will continue to heat up.
Please. They don't call it the "Oldest Profession" for no reason.
That's not really the point. That statement is being used to illustrate the fact that sex is not "just labor." If it were "just labor" it wouldn't be any more traumatic than being forced to make coffee or being forced to answer phones. Which would also be traumatic, but not as traumatic as rape.

But whatever, clearly there's a group of people here on HN who are taking the hard line "sex work is just labor" position and there's not going to be a rational discussion here.
There is a particular behaviour in RStudio that I would really love to be able to do in python, but haven't found the combination of IDE/or notebook that will do it yet:

I want to execute through lines with cmd-return, or by highlighting and pressing cmd-return, and then see the change in the variables in a separate pane, like RStudio's environment pane. Bonus points if I can click on table variables in the environment pane and examine them in a separate tab with sorting and searching. Spyder comes closest but the execution part doesn't work as fluidly.
They had one of those super armored trucks (Bearcat) there on location. It even has a little turret on top designed for safely shooting out of. They can withstand multiple .50 rounds to the same location. What's the point of spending millions in purchasing and maintenance on these if you're not going to use them?
> If this is what it took to end the suspect's life, thereby preventing further harm

Your reasoning is based on a premise that hasn't been established: that killing the suspect was necessary to prevent further harm. It seems like most of the discussion here is questioning that point: if the suspect had been located and surrounded, was there a credible threat of further harm? If there was time to repurpose the bomb-dispoal bot, were there not also non-lethal ways to apprehend the suspect?
The point is that metadata is more valuable for mass surveillance purposes than content. WhatsApp and FBM do nothing to protect metadata.

PS2: The article has lots of ads for luxury goods while describing women using prostitution to buy these products: "She became a sugar baby in order to buy luxury goods." I can't figure out if that is terrible ad placement or genius ad placement. And there's a strange circularity where the article creates demand for luxury goods (and sex), while simultaneously providing a solution for how to obtain the luxury goods (and sex).

I'm not missing that point. I didn't address that point of individual choice at all. I was highlighting the cultural difference. If you would take two seconds to stop being so dismissive and pedantic maybe you could actually understand what other people are saying.
Intent. Police officers with firearms are only supposed to fire them to end immediate danger to themselves or others. Sending in a robot with a bomb is much more of an execution.
I think you may be right. Perhaps we are just one B2B sales cycle away from domestic drone-based law enforcement.
I fully agree. Trees (and plants in general, and rocks) are more fractal, and contain interesting detail on many levels... There's something pacifying about being around them vs flat, rectangular urban surfaces.
"Suppose a drug test is 99% sensitive and 99% specific. That is, the test will produce 99% true positive results for drug users and 99% true negative results for non-drug users. Suppose that 0.5% of people are users of the drug. If a randomly selected individual tests positive, what is the probability that he is a user?"[0]

33.2% thanks to Bayes Theorem.

If you have a test with 99% accuracy and 1 in 200 people use the drug, someone testing positive more likely than not is not using the drug. If the drug is less popular, that percentage drops further at a fast rate.

Actually, Signal works without routing the messages trough your phone. Instead they use a browser extension to store the keys client side, which acts as a full client with its own, separate keypair.

You could even register only the browser, without having a smartphone at all.
That would be a myth, and not quite what "sovereignty" means in that context.
How true (in real life) is this part from the article?

In the series’ biggest twist, we discovered where the “uptick” came from—a crowded, smoky click farm in Bangladesh. The masterful sequence at the end of episode nine shows a Bangladeshi worker’s morning commute, biking his way through the crowded streets of one of the world’s poorest countries. There’s no hip music as the episode ends, just the quiet clacking of hundreds of keyboards. Is this how a bunch of coddled California techies define success?

Exactly. Funny how the phrase "tech guys" has morphed from programmers and hackers (1990s) into VPs and senior execs (2010s). No programmers I know are able to afford to spend $700/hr on anything, let alone something you can get for free.

How do you believe that differs from any other cloud manager, local or cloud-hosted? What reason(s) do you have to believe they can be fully trusted? Or do you not use password managers at all? I assume you don't re-use passwords from site to site (because there's also no single reason to believe any particular site you log into can be fully trusted with a password you've used accross sites), I assume you use secure passwords (because you clearly prioritize security)... how do you remember them all?

Also if you’re not marketing side, be careful about knowing how a person will deliver. Loads of people are 'social experts' and very few are good. It’s an uncanny knack the people that can connect with community.

Anecdotally, I think you have good potential product. But I can’t see this nailing it. Some comments;

Design: Clean it up. Less is more. E.g. The skill search on the front-page is way below a standard screen fold. You need to simplify the info and get people doing the search immediately. I like that you don’t force the login immediately.

No search matches: This is not handled particularly well. In the early days you'll get mostly non matches so you need to nail this process. I’d suggest dropping most of the explanation and have a simplified "No current Matches but were new and growing. Enter your email or phone and we'll drop you a note as soon as someone does. We promise not to use your email for any other purpose." type think. Then have the email entry right there and nothing else. Once you grab that you can ask for more info you need the fast lock in, no more than 4 fields. And make sure the language sells the benefit someone will get in contact and the enjoyment. Also I hope your storing all the search and destination info for rejections as a marketer can use these for targeting who they bring in.

Ratings: I'd consider changing the ratings. Let people rate themselves but make that it. Then let people give meetups a single 5 star rating and a commentary. It seem weird to me to rate people on each and every skill. Kind of creepy... I suspect may people won’t like that. And a single rating is simpler and comment will cover anyone that is clearly better/worse about how they rank themselves.

Its late where I am… good night...good luck.

I wouldn't use the web version if they had not disabled Jabber access... and then I could use OTR.

This trend makes me very sad... IM networks are getting more centralized as ever. I don't feel thankful for this kind of development. End-to-end encryption should not be a feature of the service provider, but the client. The way this works with Whatsapp/FB/Google just requires us to believe that their proprietary client is actually doing what it promises. And for me that I don't have a smartphone they just don't even promise anything.

I just wish I could use XMPP or Matrix with my non-nerdy friends. There was this time Google seemed to not be evil with GTalk/XMPP, but then... The business cynicism that dominates this industry, allowing people to claim that they "connect people" at the same time that they put everyone in digital prisons, makes me really want to leave computing and go live in a cave.
