I think there is a reasonable middle-ground for validating the domain side of an email address. There are RFCs on all this stuff; it's not just a total free-for-all. The RFCs just aren't nearly as strict as a lot of badly-designed validation regexps are, presumably because most people are unaware of the diversity of acceptable email addresses.

The currently operative RFC is 5322, specifically section 3.4.1: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4.1

There are some basic rules that you could safely apply to an address, which would prevent some attacks (buffer overflows, etc.) while also not blocking any legitimate addresses. E.g. limiting the overall length to 255 characters, for instance, could be defensible practice. There are also well-defined rules for validating the domain portion, since it has to be a routable address by definition.

What nobody ought to be doing is looking too hard at the string to the left of the @ symbol, because it's designed purely as instructions to the recipient server. Nobody else needs to care about it; only the receiving mailserver needs to actually parse that part of the address, in order to put the message into the right mailbox. From what I've seen, the vast majority of false-positive validation failures occur because people are looking at the mailbox portion of an email address when they have no business doing so.
Hm, that's a fair reason. But really what's important here is the fixed CT cutoff date. If you have mandatory CT from October 1 onwards, it seems fine to promise that you'll actually do CT for all certs with a notBefore of September 24 or later, and on October 1, you will stop issuing certs with a notBefore earlier than September 24.

(Of course the complexity now re-introduces some room for "honest" mistakes.)
In my experience and implied by the rising popularity of python, you would be among the minority. Personally, I find python to be the most clear of any language I've worked with, most resembling natural language in the way I typically speak. Do you have some examples of how you find it self-contradictory?

Here's an example of its expressiveness a colleague and mine I discussing the other day:
Python: [os.remove(i.local_path) for i in old_q if i not in self.queue]
Java: old_q.stream().filter(i -> !self.queue.contains(i)).map(i -> new Path(i.local_path)).forEach(Files::delete);

I've programmed in both languages but joked I could only understand the Java line by using the Python line as documentation!

> They didn't say it tasted no different from olive oil, they said it was olive oil, with artificial flavoring added. Which is true.

Of course, "real" truffle oil is also oil from some other source (usually olive), with natural flavoring (consisting primarily of the same actual compound in the "fake" version) added (IIRC, often by proximity rather than direct contact, which keeps a lot of the elements of truffle flavor that are present in whole truffles out of the oil, achieving a result not very much unlike the "fake" truffle oil in how it differs from the flavor of whole truffles.)
Or you could use standard bluetooth headphones?
Well yeah. But hey, I'm no journalist.

I stand by my assertion that nobody is trying to "hide" the "superbug" problem.

The human tendency to not self-report failures is a thing. But it's not some kind of biohazard conspiracy.

And one more thing about the death certificates...

> In a statement emailed to Reuters, Frieden said:
> "While death certificates provide helpful
> information, the unfortunate reality is that they
> don't provide in-depth clinical information."

I'm guessing that Frieden, the boss of the whole CDC, went on to say something like: "But it makes sense, because death certificates are primarily legal records. The clinical information lives in medical records." OR, OR, something more accurate. That's why he gets the big bucks. :)
They have insurance either way. I've had nothing but good experiences but to each their own.
I mean, it's physically possible that that is the case. But it has been 80 years without finding a living one or a recent corpse makes it pretty much a sure thing.
One thing I have learned in SEM and paid social -- it's difficult to extrapolate experience across projects.

I've had projects, appeared nearly identical, similar ad copy, targeting, etc. One was wildly successful, one was a flop. Going in, I remember assuming the second would be a big success, but it absolutely wasn't.

There is no should, there is only what happened. It's very difficult to project with sufficient accuracy, the variance swamps all.

Out of curiosity, what is it about Apple's lightning-to-3.5mm adapter that people find so much more repulsive than the 1/4"-to-3.5mm adapter that so many better-than-cheap-earbud headphones come with these days?
It's because of a painful history, some distant and some not so distant.

So it is in people's minds pretty often. Other places have this as well. In Western Europe it is perhaps ww2 stuff. Someone here just yesterday claimed they don't want to use the 'ss' Linux command to diagnose socket issues because of how it relates to 'ww2'.

In other parts it is all about nationality, if you call someone by a different nationality, they might be terribly offended by it. It looks silly from the outside, but once you live there it makes sense why there is emphasis on certain things like that.

I think you have to grow up in a place to internalize that. When I was in Portland with a co-worker, who was born and raised in US. He leaned over and whispered "Have you noticed, how everyone is white here?. It's freaking me out". But I haven't noticed until he mentioned it. For better or for worse, it is just not something I think about. But he did.
According to my understanding, the rendered character is cached by the OS, so this probably shouldn't have any effect.
And rightly so, I should think. Given the presence of languages like Elixir and Go, creating a situation where you are breaking people's code to introduce multicore programming systems is a pretty bad idea.

I can easily see how people might (rightly or wrongly) say "Ruby 3 broke my code, I'm rewriting in Go".
> For example, sweets can be "fruit flavoured", crips (US/chips) can be "bacon flavoured", with no expectation (either cultural or legal) that they are made using real fruit or bacon.

I'm not sure that's really the case.

> For example, orange flavoured sweets derive their flavour from real oranges, but orange flavour sweets are synthetically flavoured.

Of course, among several other criteria, some surely more important.

But my thoughts on the audio connector are independent of my thoughts on Apple's stock value, and everyyone else's. Imagining that you can constructively send a message of displeasure to Apple about changes to their audio jack by shorting their stock... this is what's nuts.
I think this is an excellent acquisition by Google, specifically for their cloud platform. It provides an excellent solution to the problem of managing apis and a tight integration with cloud platform will really make it stand out.
It is estimated that 70% of Olive Oils in super markets are fraudulent so I definitely don't think truffle oil contains the good stuff.
What the article states is not true (but - at the same time - it's not false!): it's simple, you can buy "truffle oil" that does not contain truffle, or you can keep your eye sharp (and pay more) and buy oil containing real truffle (I have done both!)

Same applies to a lot of food out there. Here is a good example, olive oil: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/is-your-olive-oil-really-oliv...

Of course you can buy perfectly genuine, high quality, olive oil, you just need to know how to pick. The same applies to truffle oil.

The article is really saying that there are brands out there selling artificially flavored truffle oil (not a great surprise, if you ask me), and it fails to clarify a number of underlying premises it's making (or should be making). For example:

1) it is just not true that truffle is the most expensive food in the world. WHITE truffles are. Black truffles are a lot more common and a lot less expensive.

2) white truffle and black truffle are very different: not only they have a different taste, or grow in different geographies, but you eat them differently. For example you always only eat white truffle raw, while you usually cook black truffle. Truffles oil is normally made with black truffle, because the flavor of white truffle is hard to preserve in olive oil.

3) truffles are an underground mushroom. Like all mushrooms, there are many varieties (beyond the fact that they may be white or black), some are more flavorful than others. Their flavor is also affected by the type of tree they grew on (on the roots), which I think it's quite interesting.

4) black truffles grow in a handful of geographies around the world (the best ones are normally considered to be from France, Italy, or Spain), they last several days so they can be transported relatively easily

5) high quality white truffles come only from one - small -region in Italy, they last only 5-7 days from the moment they are picked and are difficult to transport (without making them spoil). The world's capital of white truffles is here (for October to December): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alba,_Piedmont

People spend huge sums for white truffles, some get bought for $30k, $40k or even $50k, which are even more astounding amounts, if you consider they are for a rock-like looking mushroom that will flavor one or two meals for you and will otherwise spoil in a few days...

Bonus fun trivia: truffles have not been successfully farmed, so they have to picked in the wild. Picking methods are different in different parts of the world: In France they normally use pigs to sniff truffles in the forests. Apparently one of the essences emitted by truffles is similar to sexual feromones in pigs, so they are naturally attracted to them and instinctively dig in the ground for them (but then the truffle picker has to pull The pig away before it the truffle gets eaten). In Italy, they use dogs. It takes years to train a dog to hunt for the smell of truffle (they told me 3-5 years is common), but then dogs do not eat truffles and when they find them, they carefully dig in the ground without breaking the truffle.
True. Alcohol and sedatives work really well. Both are addictive. Best natural approach appears to be exercise, which also helps us sleep better.
As a single person, yes you can live very comfortably on 35k a year (I wouldn't quite go so far as "rich").

Raising a family, not so much.
It's usually futile trying to point out the hypocrisy of using "SJW" as a pejorative - people who use it thus tend to be several steps beyond the point of apprehending or caring about the linguistic dissonance.
Ask HN: How do you deal with bugs in software you sell?
Legally, how do you deal with bugs that soon or later will appear in your product that you sell to clients and/or is commissioned by them?

Is there some way to tell the client,the software will have bug but still convincing them to buy your software?

I know that there exists various license that states that your software is "AS IS", how can I improve this legally and commercially when selling the product?
This wasn't a push to use the lightning port -- it was a push for accessory makers to ask "First, can we make this wireless?". Lightning isn't really long for this world, either -- (not sure if it goes in 2 or 4 years, but I'd bet pretty heavily against it surviving for 6).

The next iteration of the watch is probably self-sufficient, no phone needed, and will require BT accessories.

Some people claim Chromebooks already have the best education software (as in learning stuff, handing in reports and teachers grading them online, not playing games).

Given that advanced CAD software nowadays run inside a browser, I think the chromebooks will work just fine even the higher up you go.

All that automation isn't free, though. As the interface on the front panel gets simpler, the maintenance technician's job gets more complicated. Hiring a skilled technician is hard -- they're valuable and their pay reflects it. At the factory where I used to work they often made more than college-educated engineers. (Engineers are exempt from overtime. You don't learn that in school!)
I just don't see that happening.

To be completely honest, literally 0 of the people I know with iphones have anything other than official Apple headphones. Even when they break, they go into an apple store and buy new ones.

There will be lots of complaining, but for most people this won't change anything except the annoyance of not being able to charge while using the headphones without an adapter (which is the only reason I see the average joe complaining about this change).
Funny, the "report listing" is easy to find on the site, but it seems to be missing on the app. I wonder if it's a deliberate choice or a bug.
I'm wondering if Telegraf is a legit replacement for logstash or fluentd for shipping logs. I couldn't find this info from docs, so do you know if:

- it supports multi-line logs (e.g. java stack traces)

- it can output to elasticsearch (didn't see an output plugin)

- there's any solution for reading docker logs (looks like docker metrics are supported)

- any other critical logstash functionality missing?

If it doesn't support the classic Elasticsearch output, where are telegraf log users typically outputting logs to?
>The customer base of Apple has no problems spending huge amounts of money.

exactly, and thus it is probably to control other manufacturers' access to that customer base. With digital non-public interface to headphones, you'd have to buy a license to produce such headphones. Basically extending "in-app purchase" 30% house cut to hardware accessories. Or another example from history - PC architecture vs. PS2.
Yeah, I realized that after I posted my comment, and should have probably gone back to edit it. Thanks for pointing it out.
Not really, considering it's the same port used for microphone input, playback controls, and third party devices use it for communication already...
> If this article is accurate, it seems like a complete and utter con.

It is absolutely true. Except in rare (and usually very expensive) cases, truffle oil does not contain anything made from truffles.
Yeah, this has always seemed to me like a good idea, and a profit opportunity for the CAs. All the CAs get to spread FUD about each other being blacklisted, and claim that it's best practice to get two certs from different CAs (with different actual root certs, not just different resellers). Even the Let's Encrypt users will keep a fancy wildcard in their back pocket.

If you issue them from the same CSR / key, you can even configure your web server to send both certs in the certificate chain, and most clients will figure out which one they trust without requiring manual intervention by the site operator.
I could agree with this.

But, since the government will have to do all this inspection, I guess you agree that they will have to levy a tax on AirBnB to pay for it?
Well, this was a great promo for the people that built this site. I just paid $4 for a 24 hour pass to search view all the info of mine that's been leaked. Well worth the price in my mind.

I'd love to scan my work's customer database for hits, in order to prompt those customers to reset their passwords. But I think $1k/month is too expensive for us. Does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives?

In any case, it's a great service to provide. After one of the more recent leaks I ended up receiving emails from Pandora and Uber, prompting me to reset my password.
Aw man I bought a bunch of these shares last year at $7 and sold for $7.90 after a few months. I was happy about it. Wish I held onto them, it's trading at $17 now!

Because XKCD-style passwords are as secure as your "hard" passwords, but much easier to memorize.
Also, like mentioned in the article and here before, some applications on iOS that want to implement DRM could identify and block the jack adapter with their audio. "Please use lightning headphones to play this content". Apps from streaming services could be pressured into this by the labels they license their content from.

Not tomorrow, but in a few years when lightning headphones have spread a bit.
Don't the people who own example.com also own shady.example.com? example.net would be a more likely case.
Agreed; Apple has a very cozy relationship with the major music industry (see also: paying for exclusive content to best its market-competition) and while yes, this proprietary lock-in does have genuine DRM concerns, I don't think it's nearly as overwhelming as portrayed. I appreciate staying 'concerned' with DRM creep and issues of ownership vs. licensing (something the EFF loves to conflate when convenient for their arguments), but going "Chicken Little" is a bit much. They've already got their DMCA 1201 case in progress to kill DRM.

Back to the headphone lock-in: Is it profiteering from customers who really like the Apple ecosystem? For sure! Is it just another instance of using music to sell something else with even higher profit margins? Sure! Will it result in a doom-and-gloom future where thousands of music fans are rounded up, sued, and punished for finding a work-around on their own? Seems very unlikely.
Since there is much speculation here about Assange's motives, why not at least consider how he himself describes them? In this interview with Bill Maher:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-EJAIXdGp8

Assange explains that he found it to be "good fun" to release SS and credit card numbers of thousands of random, innocent people.

If we consider that Assange may be one of those (we know they exist, in significant numbers) who get pleasure from hurting other people, much of his otherwise perplexing behavior suddenly makes sense. Why not delete malware from your servers once a security researcher has located it for you? You can hurt more people if you leave it there.
While talking about InfluxDB people should not forget about their beta release of clustering to attract more users and then making it just enterprise. And no, it's not an argument that this is the only way to get paid in open source. Users should be careful while adopting InfluxDB as Influxdata does not clearly elaborate their plans on the product.

I wonder if this is going to become more of the norm, with companies putting out apps like Pokemon GO that use the brand image over top of a pretty basic app that's flashy but doesn't have much depth.

No the regulation is that all chargers use USB, the other end of the cable doesn't matter. The situation that arose out of that is that you can charge pretty much any phone with any USB charger, which was the intent.

I'd like Apple to have chosen a USB standard for the other end of the cable, however to be honest, the lightning connector and it's counterpart look a lot more robust than USB-C or micro/nano USB. USB-C is also quite a bit bigger than lightning. So perhaps some day we'll see USB adopt lightning as a standard if that is at all possible. iPad Pro lightning supports USB3 speed, so we know lightning can do USB3.
Maybe human intelligence isn't explainable, but knowledge usually is. I think there's a ton of truth in that quote, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."
Adrenaline uptake can be prevented with beta blockers[0], such as propanolol[1] which is often prescribed for blood pressure, arrhythmia, and performance anxiety. The down sides are when you stop taking it, you may be hypersensitive to stress since other methods of dealing with the adrenaline have been neglected. Exercise and meditation are better ways to reduce the effects of stress in the long term.

But if a manufacturer wanted to only play audio to their device, they could have already made it a lightning-connected device.

If they do give the ability to distinguish the lightning-to-3.5mm adapter from other lightning headphones, that isn't any greater than the ability to distinguish between the 3.5mm jack and the lightning port is it?
Normal people didn't care for that functionality so it was deemphasized in favor of different types of search. A lot of it still works, though.
