mmmh... This is an interesting problem that merits to think about it. How to grant that most donated money ends really helping the country instead making rich the local organized delinquents, spoon-feeding the war and supporting the local corrupt nets. We need to attract more creative people as possible to think about how to improve this.

I'll propose something. Why if we would use the donated money to condone the same amount of external debt in origin? or maybe to lobby with the goal of stopping unreasonable external debt forever?.

Advantages: More simple, no blackmail when crossing customs, no generous international help for lords of war of dictatorships, not money leaked in the travel, more money available to help with the same amount of cash, because you don't need to burn part of your resources to move a team of people to a small country in the middle of nowhere and protect them of being kidnapped or falling ill. No more buying goods in America and spend your money moving it to Tailand when you could buy the same products in Myanmar, less troubles when converting between a lot of currencies...

When it comes to security, the question of "whom is my attacker?" really determines how much invenstment you make in securing your service.

Many online providers don't care if the NSA is slurping up their data. For example, do you think that Macy's online is going to stick out their necks to protect clothing transactions from the government?

Nope.

Personally, I've seen end-users more worried about MtM close to their endpoint, such as their employers or schools scanning their traffic. They're not trying to evade governments here.

You can discount it as a fad but it's also a resurgence of Pokemania. People who grew up catching Pokemon in elementary school are doing it all over again, along with a new generation of kids.

Whether you like it or not, it's become an overnight GLOBAL phenomenon and a unique one at that.
At no point have I mentioned scale of change or rate of change. That is irrelevant to the point I am making: that during a warming phase, average temperatures will be the highest they have ever been at the end of the time period under consideration. So a result confirming that is hardly news.

4000 years ago there were still mammoths and far greater glaciation than now, so clearly climate has been warming over the last few thousand years.
Siemens electric air plane engine, how does it stack up to Tesla engines?
Is there a way to run e.g. an email server on Sandstorm?

Last time I looked it seemed like that would never be supported because it would violate the sandstorm business model, which, as I understand it, appears to be selling very cheap hosting of grains, made possible because only disk resources are used when an grain is not currently in use.

This would seem preclude the hosting of services that need to be running all the time in the background.

Weird. This coup of July 16 failed in exactly the same way as the coup against Hitler of July 20 failed - a small group of military sub-leadership, a failed bomb attack against the leader, a half-hearted attempt to secure the capital, all breaking down with the leader re-connecting with the non-cooperating rest of government and military. And now most likely horrible revenge against all involved.

I always thought people from the military would at least consider the historic scenarios.

I'm a bit disappointed that for all the "oh no they break TLS, oh securitay" in the article the author ends up recommending using Caddy. It's written in Go using Go's TLS implementation, which is only a partial implementation of TLS 1.2, of which the authors themselves have said it's not been thoroughly reviewed, there's a few known attacks against it and it shouldn't be used for things exposed to the world wide west.
Yes, KDE and Gnome both have registries.

Just because Windows' registry is hard to manually edit doesn't mean they are a bad idea. Look at how much better Windows' GUI configuration tools are than anything on Linux. They all use the registry.
Whenever I see headlines like these, "X billion messages per day/hour/second in some web service Y", I wonder what the hell is that service doing that it generates so much messages? I.e. I could understand Facebook, with its billion+ of users and built-in messaging platform, could generate billion of "messages" a day. But a mostly read-based service like Yelp?

But I finally realized - those messages are probably mostly tracking, ads, more tracking, some infrastructure work and even more ads & tracking. The sausage machine that turns people into money.

What does that expression mean?
References, CVEs, etc. etc. etc.

Can you break into my PC if I give your an external IP address or not? I guess you can't that's why you give me all those links which mean sh*t. Let unpatched Windows 7 SP1 have 1000 critical remote vulnerabilities - show me at least one that you yourself can exploit.

I guess you don't understand how vulnerabilities are discovered and published. And what the purpose of CVE is.
A long time ago, yeah.

I think most projects start trying to solve all these problems, but then settle on one aspect of it.

I don't think any project balances all of them in any meaningful way, but if any were ever able to pull it off, they'd change the internet as we know it, forever.

I wrote a paper back in 2010 about a proposal for having browsers handle private keys, and a decentralized social network could then store encrypted data, which would be decrypted at the browser level. But in order to maintain that kind of trust, it would have to be baked into the browser directly. A plugin wouldn't be trustworthy enough and wouldn't have the necessary install density, and client-side JS is out of the question.

And then there's the UX question to how users handle private keys. Do you start to expect everyday users who just want to browse their social network to juggle private keys, move them across devices, etc. And what happens when a user wants to search the network? Even if it's possible, I can't think of a way that isn't extraordinarily slow.

But that's one way you could handle encrypted data so that the servers involved don't have any idea what they're storing. Then you could split it into chunks and spread it all over the place.

There's just so many moving parts, and all the projects working on it are underfunded and undermanned to solve just the single aspect they're focused on, which isn't even the whole package.

I'm not saying it's impossible. It's just extraordinarily difficult.

Well, you can get a 'cat toilet'. A lot of them are pretty terrible, but once you get around the mid-range price of 300-400, they mostly have all the kinks worked out, and you can install it to connect to sewage like a normal toilet.

The one downside is that pretty much all of them use plastic beads as the litter, and sanitize with heat. This means if anything malfuctions, then you get the smell of burning fecla matter and plastic.
Full .NET core support for F# is very nice feature,should have there on day 1. But project.json to csproj conversion is going to hold many open source projects to start porting to .net core in the near future.Even after RTM ,you cannot rely on many features or your existing learnings with such changes. I guess I have to wait for another year to see full adoption for people to migrate existing libraries or frameworks.Even networking and data support coming in Q1/Q2 2017.
Anyways big kudos for being open and transparent
Excellent, thanks! I wonder if someone could create a VBS script to make all services "own". And, another problem, I wonder if Windows allows to rename processes, like e.g. Linux can because I don't want to see 50 svchost.exe in the task manager - I want them named after respective DLLs.
This just sounds crazy.

What are the credit notes backed by? I assume the shopkeeper can change them to euros. But does the city have enough euros cover all issued notes? Or are they effectively running a ponzi taking the real 35 euros a day from the government and covering the refugee obligation with a credit note.

This should not be legal (and probably is not).
Unreal Engine 4's "Blueprint" scripting system is the most impressive visual programming system I've seen. It's easy to ignore for many because it's just some videogame thing, but the editor application is very substantial (as is its compatibility with the textual programming side), and the concepts within pretty general.

I think you're 100% correct. But, I also think that even implying that that is the purpose is itself a form of signaling of your wealth/social class. "I'm much too smart/frugal/down to earth/in the know about where the real good food is to be fooled by cloth napkins and dim lights." Signaling is funny like that. We often discuss it in the context of letting others know how up the social ladder we are or want to be perceived as being. But at least as often signaling is used to convey to others that we're not at the top, we're right where we belong, with the other members of our tribe.
No but they should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Still, it's usually the largest party (or the largest electoral winner) that gets first pickings to try to form a coalition.
DDoS protection on a budget.

A typical hosting provider would shut down the port if they see any heavy ingress traffic. Or maybe won't shut it down if their network can tolerate it, but won't bother to filter either, so the server would be overwhelmed and down anyway. There are providers that help, but they cost extra.

CloudFlare, on the other hand, is $20/mo (or even free). Not much protection at this level, but it well-scares kiddies away with "uh, it's behind the CloudFlare", and if someone still hates you (and you haven't screwed up concealing where the real server is), you can upgrade the plan and still try to remain online.

Don't see any other value, except, maybe, for caching/CDN stuff. TLS is done wrong (as described in the OP article), DNS management is a toy (the old fart in me always prefers the zonefiles), minification should be done (and we do) at packaging phase - not runtime and WAF doesn't have any details about what it does (half of the rules are, basically, "enable the we-dont-tell-you-what-it-does rule and hope it won't break your site in a subtle manner").
I wish it were that simple.

The problem is that Turkey is not changing up civilian control. They've had Erdogen for what? 13 years? That's not a healthy system. That's a system where one bunch is running the tables. Such systems always lead to much worse than military coups. Anybody checked out Venezuela lately?

There's probably been some support for IS coming from Turkey, although not from the military. Turkey is a NATO member and nuclear. They're in the middle of a really tense and unstable region.

All of this is bad. Really bad. And now we'll get 10x more of it.

I do not support military coups if a civilian government is functioning and changing up the dominent parties and leaders every so often. Everybody gets a turn. I don't see that in Turkey. I see a country headed either towards internal or external crisis. Perhaps both.

There's also another point: the vast majority of citizens in a country may want to have leaders and policies that destroy it. That's their right. If that's where Turkey is headed, NATO alliance members need to think about how to adapt accordingly.
And except for a handful they are all very, very bad. Whenever I travel from London back to the bay area my dining consists of maxican and sushi (London sushi has two modes: terribly sad or incredibly expensive.) As a simple example, the only way to get a corn tortilla that is not a deep fried hard taco shell is to either make your own (by ordering masa from Amazon) or arrange for delivery by a service, you cannot find them in the grocery store. In general, it feels more like Mexican viewed by a Brit who spent two weeks in San Francisco once a few years ago...

Yup. It should be pretty easy to set up an Express server that uses Horizon for some of the simpler stuff, and your own routes/logic for more complicated work.
> I don't think that there is a middle ground here. Either they have ties to government operations or they don't.

I haven't read the pages yet, but it's not at all hard to imagine a grey area or two.

Imagine if we were talking about a radical Christian terrorist who'd received material assistance from a church known to be attended and funded by a senior Government minister.

Is there a direct connection between the minister and the church support of the terrorist? Even if true, was he acting in his capacity as a private individual, or with the blessing of the Government? And even then, with official blessing, or maybe just that of the intelligence or military sections?
It's just about personal taste. MVC is fine, I've built quite a few apps with that approach. JSX is weird but I still find it a viable approach. #nosilverbullet :)
I don't know for Hitler's July 20 coup, but he is known to have staged several "false flag" attacks against Germany / German gov't, while in power.

For instance the Reichstag fire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire

And this one (which is not even "doubted" by Wikipedia): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleiwitz_incident

The 20th of July was the coup against Hitler ("Valkyrie", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Valkyrie).

And the Reichstag fire was not a false flag operation, it was just exploited afterwards as an excuse to finish up German democracy. The perpetrator had a criminal record for arson. Maybe you should read articles that you link to?

That's not the problem with Windows registry.
Legalities aside, there is a long tradition of giving out "fake" money to foreigners that can only be used in exchange for certain goods and services. In turn, local shopkeepers can use the certificates to exchange at some fixed rate for currency. The first time I ever heard about such a scheme was "occupation money." I have some of the German bills around here somewhere from my family members when they were issued them, here's a wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_Military_Currency. I think the best thing about these schemes is that they keep the currency local vs. enabling refugees from (understandably) sending the money back to relatives (who perhaps need it more).
Respect to the endangered american polecats, there are a few good ways to save it and a lot of bad ways to try it. Astrid Vargas and other scientists from the Wyoming university strike the right chord when start breeding it in captivity. Fortunately "the lets burn all zoos with pitchforks and torches" current fashion was not so developped then. Between 1987 and 1994, the wild population increased from 0 to a few hundreds and then 6000 ferrets. Since 1994, this woman moved to Doñana and tried to save the iberian linx breeding it for first time. Something that proved to be much more difficult. Both species could be extinct now without people like her (and much other).

This said, the access to the article seems restricted and the title didn't help too much to understand the idea. Trying to just "feed" the polecats with pellets looked like a really dumb idea to me, before to read that the real goal is to vaccine them (and to prairie dogs also) against sylvatic plague transmited by fleas. This is a totally different question. Similar things were done before to eliminate rats on NZ islands... Could work. Yersinia pestis was a formidable killer of humans also (is the creature that caused the black death in Europe), so would be a great success for all people living in the area.
What I'd like is a way to check that the command will run properly. Waiting for one minute to test is not productive at all. And no, testing in your shell won't do, since cron runs in a particular environment.
Their free plan uses SAN certificates too. The difference is that they do "one (shared) SAN certificate per IP" for paid plans, as opposed to "multiple (shared) SAN certificates per IP" on the free plan, which requires SNI to work.
Gonna need a source for that.
You could be the backup-backup day.

"Normal" math is usually not done using any formal logic at all. You can try, but you'll enter a world of pain regardless of the formal system you choose. Logic and foundational theories are designed to remain out of the way and relatively hidden. It's good to know that they're there, but you don't actually use them in the day-to-day (unless you decide that logic is your field of expertise, or you're interested in the sisyphean task of formalizing proofs).
Have you tried this? Since minute only counts from 0-59, it's never divisible by 100.

I have a similar problem with "every 2 days". */2 looks simple enough, but it fires on the 29th, miss 30th, fires on 31st, then fires the 1st. 3 times in 4 days isn't "every 2 days".

Cron only works for periods which are evenly divisible into the calendar. "every 7 minutes" doesn't work because 60 isn't evenly divisible by 7. "every 5 hours" doesn't work (in that it'll match 8pm and midnight, which are only 4 hours apart), etc.
They did, the attempt failed because they were late.
Speaking purely for myself: I don't come here for the news itself (i.e. facts), I come here for the editorials (i.e. opinions/viewpoints) that regular news sources can't/won't cover.
They had a lot of fun but this is also why i love this series :)
But more correct:

crontab:

At 00:00 on the 1st and every Sun in Jan. <-- CORRECT

LXC has always had a registry of base os images. LXC is a normal open source project and is not VC funded and does not have a lot of the building wall kinds of features like the hub and tons of others things that others would embrace.

LXC's problem is near zero marketing and the significant muddying of the waters about containers by the vc funded docker ecosystem which launched off LXC. How does one position LXC or LXD as 'NIH' when others based off it, or misrepresent it as low level when it has far more sophisticated tools, features and maturity?

Isn't it an irony for all the criticism of bash scripts from the docker ecosystem the Dockerfile is actually a bash script. There still remains way too much misinformation about containers here on HN and it damages informed discussion and credibility. VC funded companies should not be allowed to hijack open source projects in this manner without due credit and proper information.

Lets talk about overlayfs, aufs, namespaces, cgroups and all the Linux components that are containers. Are these projects to work in anonymity without any credit or rewards while VC funded companies suck the value and momentum. Is this the 'open source model' hn wants to support. Compete on value not disinformation. This only leads to low quality discussions.

Ubuntu tends to do their own thing and I don't particularly see anything wrong with diversity. What I find more galling is this underhanded positioning of anything not controlled by Redhat as NIH. Is systemd, nspawn criticised as nih. Flatpak is not dimissed as NIH but Snappy is. How does this kind of brazen manipulation happen? I can't fathom ordinary unbiased users thinking in this way and this kind of politics is becoming a problem for informed discussion and wider choice in Linux. Unity is surprisingly polished for a Linux project and I would not have even tried if I didn't look beyond the prevailing prejudice. Let's not do this.
> Using smart phones as authentication devices suffers from this exact same problem.

This. 2FA or "tap to login" is all nice until the phone melts down and - by design - you (normally) don't even have backups, so have to use recovery codes. Which aren't always available.

> I have concluded the password is king.

What about the keypairs?

They are the same as passwords (when done right) - just long "random" strings of data. However, they don't have to be transferred over the wire for everyone to see. And they're more flexible in terms of possibilities on security-convenience spectrum.

There is no SRP standard for web (JS crypto doesn't count), but almost every TLS-aware system (client or server) out there has support for client certificates. The only problem is that browser vendors genuinely hate this (and want to shove users their own inventions), but if someone could somehow persuade them - it would just work.
How do you organize your book notes?
> If Erdoğan hadn't been able to make a speech via FaceTime, which was relayed by a TV station, the coup might have succeeded. He also sent a text to his entire contacts list. The amusing thing is that Erdoğan is against social media.

Using FaceTime and sending private text messages to people in your contact list hardly counts as using social "media"?
