> it has no second-hand consequences to speak of

Can you back that up?

Did they only look at the room as a whole, or also second-hand vapor from inches away?

Because if I'm sitting right near someone at a table who just exhaled a cloud of vapor, I have zero interest in breathing that in. (If I have no [polite] choice I hold my breath till the cloud dissipates, and I'm not pleased at having to do so.)

I'd much rather it either be illegal or there is proof that second-hand vapor inches away from the primary user has no consequences whatsoever.

And I do mean inches - cheek by jowl as they say.

Apple tax lawyers probably do count it, when asked to inflated the number.
Use 2 factor authentication and rotate both passwords. I have the opposite setup - Dropbox password is random and the password manager (stored inside) is memorized. It would be harsh to lose access, but not unrecoverable.
FF doesn't, but as usual, there are addons for that :)
If you have a suitable targetable niche, then perception studies really do help - especially if your campaign is designed to change an existing preconception in order to appeal to new people (as opposed to being a direct driver - long pipeline for us). That's what we did and got buy-in from management for the ROI on that basis
Babel can parse Flow, which is similar to Typescript. However, Babel doesn't have any built-in support for inferring or analyzing flow types. However, some of this type information might be useful in building a more advanced closure-like minifier.

He must follow the media laws, which means that the stream to the public must be live and not a recording. The order is for Kim Dotcom to stop making the stream available once the hearing ends.

If a third-party makes a copy, its not Kim Dotcoms fault in the same way that TV stations are not charged with a crime if someone makes a copy of the news which includes live footage. At worst, the "media" entity is responsible to behave professional and act according to some best practice, but those kind of liability requirement tend to have a high bar.
Swift pressures banks on cyber security
It looks like your domain is flagged for phishing in my Chrome. :(
You should absolutely use a password manager and two factor auth whenever you can, but the problem is what to do as a service provider and/or employer if people won't use either of the things. A lot of people are pretty careless about their digital security and don't care for password managers or 2fa; and then of course they reuse passwords because nobody can be arsed to remember a different password for each service.

You could argue that if someone doesn't care for their digital security that's their problem, but we live in a time when one single careless employee can screw over 60 million people, as it was the case with Dropbox.
Nintendo is about to announce a new console
Completely agree. Here's another example: BitDefender (antivirus) passes your email and MD5 of your password in the hash when you want to go to your dashboard. When I contacted them more than 1 year ago about it, their "senior e-threat analyst" said it's nothing to worry about. Absolutely ridiculous.

What to do when the company is ignorant and continues to use something as stupid as that?

Recently I had received an email from Dropbox asking me to change my password and now I read about the hack , I wonder if there is any correlation here.

Saying one is a C++ expert is a pretty extraordinary claim and should require extraordinary evidence :)

I'm regularly intimidated by positions looking for capital s Senior C++ developers, because no matter how deep my knowledge goes, memory model, templates substitution rules and all, I realize there's dragons lurking behind every corner. Now, C is a language that fits in my head, C++ … not so much, but maybe that's because it is not part of my daily routine.

I'd suggest you look for _productive C++ developers_ that know their limitations. I think you might even get better candidates that way.
It always amazes me how many people on HN trivialise extremely dangerous drugs saying that alcohol is more dangerous.
I'd rather stay in a room with someone that drinks a glass of wine a day than with someone that assumes LSD every day.
I do the same, but some companies don't seem to be interested. I've had two different emails linked to a magazine's website and had spam to both.

When I've contacted them about it, they've been absolutely adamant that the spammer must have (twice) guessed the exact email address that I've had there.
I can say that this corresponds to my experience. I underwent a rigorous transformation from obese teenager one summer, which included a fairly strict diet. I used to have bad acne but since then have been barely troubled by it. I have a number of friends who have acne trouble who say they have tried "everything" but I wonder have they tried anything like this for such a protracted period ...
So vote for the candidate in this election that intends to do away with FPTP.

Unique passwords for each site (I use a password manager) and add two factor auth whenever possible.
That sounds fairly Puritan. How do you define "drug"? That's the bit that matters. Alcohol? Caffeine? Theobromine? Somewhere in your diet and routine is something that meets someones definition of "drug" but not yours.
a major advantage is if I throw my phone into the ocean(not a theoretical attack!) I can still recover my OTP on another machine. Authy offers this pretty nicely

I would recommend testing theories of :

- losing phone

- losing computer

- losing both

and have reasonable backup strategies for these scenarios.

Very poetic. I'd like to see this made into one of those motivational posters and hung in the office of every dev team nationwide.
It is smelly and distracting.
Second this book. Btw, seems like on audible for $10
the excessively excited "omg how could you even be discussing this??" is a bit offputting

Isn't there APIs for safely storing passwords outside of config data?
You should report them to their country's data protection body. They are either maliciously selling your data against your explicit wishes or they've been hacked and are ignoring it.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm unsure how much I would have liked for somebody to be ousted though... I feel that rather than one party being wrong we did not align in our communication.

I'll definitely check out the book though, looks like it could be valuable.
It sounds like a really shitty thing to do, but one thing that really helped me in interviews is basically going to more of them. If a company sounds you out, and you're not entirely sure that you want to join them, why not go to the interview anyway?

Obviously, don't go to an interview every month, but don't wait until you absolutely must have a new job. Get the feel of a few places, and if you turn them down then there's no harm done.
1Password can do 2FA, also syncs between all your devices. And no trusted 3rd party cloud service.
Pluralise that please.
Well, it's debatable whether that's "abuse". Companies need to make money to fund research (Shkreli says he's trying to find a "2016 version of Daraprim") and pay investors, and if patients aren't hurt, it's not necessarily bad.

Here in Australia, the funnelweb spider (around Sydney) is our only particularly lethal arachnid. Recently they've been struggling to find enough spiders to milk for the antivenom, and so have started to ask the general public to lend a hand in catching the damn things.

I wish we'd used it for a recent senior c++ dev hire. And this was an internal hire.

They were just way too good at playing the game and it took us way too long to get rid of the person - fired, not just dumped.
It clearly doesn't and probably won't, for the forseeable future.

I'm arguing for the browser to have the same behavior for all insecure connections, be they HTTP or HTTPS on a self-signed cert. There clearly shouldn't be an indication of "security" (these should continue to be reserved for the CA-issued and particularly EV certs), but I agree with GP in that there shouldn't be a scary warning message either.

The scary warnings have their place: if a page that was previously secure (i.e. CA-signed cert) stops being so (either because it is now being served over HTTP [potentially sslstripped], or because it now uses a self-signed cert), then a warning should be issued.

Finally, we already have HSTS preload lists to bridge the gap before first access. If a site is on one of these and served insecurely, a scary warning is appropriate as well.
Humour is spice, and often an exceptionally effective mode of criticism.

Reddit subs lack a consistent moderation quality, though the ones who moderate well, and I'll give AskScience and AskHistorians as stellar examples, maintain exceptionally high-quality discussions. They are also not entirely humourless (AH's FAQ addresses this and points to some examples), but there's a difference between being overrun by cheap jokes, and using dark humour to point out an obviously unclothed emperor.

I've used Google+ since public beta, was tremendously enthusiastic for it, and have been washed through disillusionment after disillusionment in the process. The extent to which it's exposed what I'm finding to be the true Google -- a largely evil advertising empire with a vestigal, and yes, sometimes principled technology arm attached -- has been both profound and ironic (I doubt this was the original intent).

It's not that Google are alone in being an evil tech company, the most evil, or even above average. But something huge rotted in that beast and is consuming it from the inside out.
I understand where you're coming from, and initially had upvoted your comment. The problem is that there are shifting goalposts as to the definition of "fuck over". Here specifically it's pretty clear some unethical and illegal behavior occurred. There's no question it was right to out the shitty company. But encouraging people to out people they feel they've been wronged by sets the stage for tragic mistakes. The media is especially guilty of this, even if it isn't outright libel. I would be much more agreeable to your suggestion if people were generally much less trusting. But people are really awful at critical thinking with this kind of thing.
That's exactly my point though.

It's not the same category, but it IS a competing service playing on an unfair playing field.

Leveling the playing field for people playing the same game is all fine and dandy, but it completely fucks over disruptive innovations challenging the status quo in a different category.

How about this one, people watch less TV than they did ten years ago, a lot of that time is now spent using Facebook, what happens when Facebook isn't throttled but Netflix and the rest in their category are?

This isn't net neutrality in the slightest.
So when are the browser vendors going to fix their interfaces?
Some of us still use native applications that don't use Chrome or Firefox.
> The H1-B program allows employers to hire foreign employees, at below-market rates

However, it's also by far the most attractive visa type for people from many countries. If I'm an e.g. German dev, what other options do I have if I wanted to work in the US long term? L-1?

> Otherwise, the only effect of the H1-B program

Obviously misuse isn't okay, but I'm sure they'd be chilling effects worth thinking about. I've always wondered why there aren't visa swap programs, i.e. if a Dutch and an American citizen wanted to live in the US/Netherlands respectively, why not swap (as long as some basic criteria are met)?
Exactly what I thought myself after reading the article, it is totally logical (business-wise) to have an established market they can easily capture once their cars gets rolling.
I just have two, if you're doing strictly u2f they are less than $20. I have a nano4 and a neo that I use for u2f, oath tokens, and rsa keys for sign/encrypt/auth. It's not the cheapest setup but it's highly functional and about the best account security I could put together. I lost a gmail account for 45 minutes once and decided that would be much worse then the cost of the keys.

Hash can be stored somewhere else. I also saw systems where some kind of constant for the user was used as a salt. For example first 5 characters of username or timestamp of registration.
or a few extra characters you need to add. As much as people say this is a bad idea, most of the people you would be trying to keep out, don't have access to your wallet.

I did this for a few months for a master password and set everything to forget the password so I used it several times a day. After a little while I can get rid of the paper and have a LONG random password that is committed to memory.
The tax itself is a bad idea. If they were going to go this route the tax should have been based on permanent resident status and not citizenship.

That the province failed to exempt existing contracts that have not yet closed is an absolute disgrace.
Google will drop the Nexus brand name
That wouldn't solve this problem given that the page they're redirecting to _is_ a Google page, the continue check enforces that.
Can anyone provide more information on the server infrastructure than this article:

http://www.techhive.com/article/2158040/how-netflix-streams-...

It claims each server serves up to 10,000 streams simultaneously. So operational peak capacity is at ~50M simultaneous streams.

Also, 10k streams at 1080p would be ~70Gbps per machine at full HD, or ~20Gbps per machine at SD. With some blend of course being the norm.

There is of course a big difference between being capable of and actual and FUD.

I'd really love to know what the internals of one of their streaming servers might look like.

Anyone here who has architected a box with that capacity?
On the other hand, "Immune Boosting†" products are rampant and they get to make all kinds of unsubstantiated claims about their capacity to Boost the Immune System so long as they either claim to be homeopathic or market themselves as supplements and include the boilerplate disclaimer that never seems to harm sales:

The difference is whether mostly everyone has access to it.

So yeah. I'd say he's right and I'd bet your fancy shmancy genetic engineering won't wield anything significant but for a residual percentage of very specific cases.

As has most medical technology. The overwhelming majority of diagnostics are still made via question/answer, palpation and hearing.

Mass promiscuity has consequences, just like poor sanitary habits have them.

No amount of technology will change that.
Password manager + two factor authentication whenever possible. As for the former: Opinions here differ but my recommendation would be not to trust a "cloud" password manager and employ an offline password manager instead. KeePass works great for instance and is open source and cross-platform.
> We use fizzbuzz on senior devs claiming to be C++ experts and they stumble on it regularly.

This outcome can be evidence of either condition:

1. There are a lot of expert developers who are actually not experts

2. The test is giving false negatives

Same here. I have (at the last count) over 200 website/service specific email aliases. I very rarely use an alias for more than one service. However when I do start getting spam on that alias, and I contact the website concerned they always state it's my fault. My response? If I can, I stop using that website or service.

My dropbox alias email started getting loads of spam about 2 years ago, I immediately junked that account, and set-up a new dropbox account (friends insist on sharing stuff over it...) - my old spammy dropbox alias is in the Dropbox leaked dump, my new current one isn't, which proves that this dump of credentials is from at least before 2015.

It is really hard to stop eating sugar so drastically but it helped me a lot. After that eating even a small piece of chocolate was giving me a sugar high. High in the sense of you feel it in your whole buddy and get goosebumps. Nowadays I am more relaxed regarding sugar but I am nowhere close to "bad old times". I went from 2L-3L of high sugar soft drinks like Coke and high amounts of sweets every day to zero for a while and after that started slowly.

If you use the Android platform, I suspect that Android device UUIDs may be transferred via Chrome or App usage.

This has some benefits -- Google have quite good login-pattern tracking, and alert for logins on new devices (or devices not used for a time). OTOH, it is also, quite obviously, a mechanism for tracking patterns of use across IPs, locations, devices, etc.
