Not a mod, but it's a dupe of a post from last night that linked directly to the Daily Beast article and generated mostly very low-quality discourse. I'm not upset this got flagged; I'd like to hope that worthwhile conversation on this topic is possible, but the evidence is all otherwise, and on the front page it would just be an attractive nuisance.
Apparently, you can put a man on the moon and return him to Earth without needing that query...

If you don't encrypt the backup, then iTunes does not backup your stored passwords (wifi WPA2, web, mail, etc), health data, and other items considered "sensitive", which makes for a poor backup/restore experience. So there's a big benefit in enabling encryption in iTunes.

It's a bit annoying considering macOS can also use FileVault for full-disk encryption, which helps if the machine is locked/off. I guess it doesn't help against your macOS user account being compromised via a browser or anything.

Makes me wonder if anyone has taken a fresh new look at the FDE passphrase algorithms in macOS 10.12...
something being on your property is not the same as possessing it
You do know that it was possible to get the FileVault password for other users with a simple grep command up until OS X 10.7, don't you?
You must use a different dictionary. Merriam-Webster lists:

1: holy, consecrated <the church stands on hallowed ground>

2: sacred, revered <the university's hallowed halls> <hallowed customs>

The second is a perfectly reasonable usage.
I see what you are saying and I partially agree with it. But the point is Audi,BMW,etc they are not first year art student. They have billion dollar R&D budget.

Update:

And keep in mind Tesla is not product of yesterday. Vibe for electronic car was around I think much longer than Tesla.But big names (Audi,BMW,etc) just ignored it for so long (maybe because of no serious competitor or corruptness -why do they need to work on something revolutionary when they are market leaders) until some guy stepped in and challeged them seriously.
Last night's discussion wasn't dupe-flagged. If what you claim here is true, it should have been.
If you refuse to hand over encryption keys in court, after you'd been officially charged that's one thing (though not saying that it's justified either), but if you've been stopped for i.e. mundane traffic check and asked to hand over your phone for inspection, that's totally wrong and oppressive.
If you use an already established license people know what to expect and can easily reuse your work, do-it-yourself licenses frequently run into problems of being imprecise and needing further clarifications. A lot of jurisdictions also don't allow you to easily release something in the public domain, you automatically retain some rights even when you don't want them, the license has to explicitly state that you waive those rights.

See the explanation for CC0: https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc...
I'm sorry to hear that. Go is not revolutionary (unless you count "completely ignoring runtime errors" to be revolutionary). If anything, functional languages are the new, old, revolutionary thing.

I thought that Piketty released or references sources for the underlying data supporting his work from "Capital..." so why are you considering it not necessarily testable? I don't understand what you mean by that phrase.
Consider that operation mockingbird never really went away after the church committee and much of that is potentially propaganda.
If you ever press charges against a criminal, follow through with it.

If you forgive them, they might just do it again.

I don't think he deserves 30 years either, but he should still go to prison.
Of course he's not going to get the charges dropped against this guy. Krebs should be pushing for the most harsh penalty possible against this guy so he can continually point to him as an example of what happens when you threaten him or his wife.

I think thirty years is extreme, but I think the hope is that this will serve as an effective deterrent against this kind of crap.
And they evidently are working on it. But to say "release it now, don't make me wait 5 years" is beyond ignorant.

The article goes into other cultures briefly. It doesn't focus on those because it took longer to discover the roundness of the Earth there. This article is focused on first discovery, and the myths about the myth (like Columbus trying to provide the roundness of Earth). This article also doesn't well cover that the Bible texts refer to the Earth in terms of being flat dozens of times.

Why not? Relationships give trust. On the other hand I think if you don't have any relationship but your business is obviously good I am sure you will be selected.
>The stagflation of the 1970s seriously attacked the very foundation of Keynes ideas. It was literally impossible for it to happen

How so? Most of his ideas seem pretty valid. The 70s stagflation was set off by the oil shock when oil prices rapidly increased four fold. I'm not sure how his failure to analyse that happening after his death invalidates that his ideas worked ok under normal circumstances?
I agree that it's not a good intro to economics book. I haven't presented it as one.
That is true, I used to work in legacy Java code base and the debugger was my Lord and Saviour.
I am now working in fresh, well tested (both unit and integration) Go codebase and I yet to have to use debugger. Usually adding few debug logs (which usually just stay there for future) and writing test case for new discovered edge case is enough.

One reason it's true is because companies only measure actual cost, not opportunity cost. How much did it cost Yahoo to have every tech-savvy person in the world switch to Gmail because of Yahoo's lousy (and Google's excellent) security infrastructure? Where the tech-savvy go, the tech-unsavvy often follow. As they did with Gmail.

But lost revenue opportunities don't show up in the bottom line, so cost-focused managers don't think about them. And they conclude it's "cheaper" to not invest in this or that thing that their smarter competitors are doing.

"What gets measure gets managed." People think this (apocryphal) Drucker quote is advice. It is not advice. It's a warning.
My wife got a PhD in neuro without a masters. It was part of an MD/PhD program. The PhD itself took a bit under 3 years in the middle of med school. Given 7 years of residency and another year of fellowship, she can expect her first job at 38, which is coincidentally the age I always figured I would retire at.
Yes, but that's a decision for a judge to make, not a private company.
Here's an article with more information on the potential for bias in algorithms: https://www.propublica.org/article/machine-bias-risk-assessm...

Based on a list of 137 questions[1] the Northpointe system predicts the risk of re-offending, and "blacks are almost twice as likely as whites to be labeled a higher risk but not actually re-offend." Meanwhile, whites are "much more likely than blacks to be labeled lower risk but go on to commit other crimes."

In other words:

- a white person labeled high risk will re-offend 66.5% of the time

- a black person labeled high risk will re-offend 55.1% of the time

- a white person labeled low risk will re-offend 47.7% of the time

- a black person labeled high risk will re-offend 28% of the time.

The model is specifically avoiding race as an input, but still overestimates the danger of black recidivism, while underestimating white recidivism.

The thing that happened to "all that stuff" is called the War on Drugs. It blended in to pretty seamlessly into the War on Terror.

The word "routinely" might be contentious, because we have almost no numbers on it and the law has a way of making things "true" despite reality, but the kind of court you're referring to is just called a court.

You might google the Innocence Project, if you're interested in this sort of thing.
Yes, you notice it when you deal with sites where bad security can be costly, like on a (bit)coin exchange (i.e. Bittrex). You get an email at every successful login, 2FA is encouraged from the start, enabling the API keys requires 2FA, Google reCAPTCHA at every login, logout as soon as you close the browser, api keys with different levels of functionality, API requires SHA512 hashing of API key and API code and a time fingerprint. It's pretty refreshing to be honest.
And sell this as a subscription service? I wonder how many users there might be.

Which was flag-killed. No conspiracy, it's just that HN has:

- users that will flag anything to do with politics

- users that will flag anything that more properly belongs on mainstream media than HN

- users that will flag anything disparaging their 'tribe'. And although I think Donald Trump supporters are a minority on Hacker News, they're a significant minority. After all, they're almost 50% of Americans.

- users that will flag anything disparaging YC companies, especially if it's controversial

- users that will flag anything controversial

- users that will flag anything likely to encourage non-productive conversations

Some may be good reasons for flagging, some are not. But the flagging happens, and the story got flag-killed very quickly.

"Fair game" excuses collective punishment, then? I'm not so sure.

Google has absolutely no customer support whatsoever. I don't know anything about FastMail customer support, but it's hard to argue it's worse than no customer support.

You can capture the IPs, but they aren't going to be the true originating IPs. Usually they are just random IPs generated on the fly. Or sometimes the attacker will pick a company or ISP and spoof the packets with those IPs.

I don't monitor the Apple forums nowadays, but it was common in the early switcher days to have people asking how to disable UNIX security and make it work just like Windows 9x.
Ok, I see. Thank you.
That video makes my point nicely in two ways. Firstly, the link under it to the commercial supplier is dead. It's not a product you can just buy.

Secondly, it's a concentrator system with a two-axis tracker. That's going to require maintenance, however trivial. You can clearly see a chain-and-sprocket arrangement at about 1:20 in the video. If you have a chain technology which is maintenance-free for 25 years, I know a lot of cyclists who'd be interested.
Not sure I agree that it was Google and Yahoo's respective security architecture that caused people to switch, even tech-savvy people.

If it has a feature that's cheaper than creating and supporting it yourself. Oracle the database is literally state-of-the-art.

Being database-neutral means only using lowest-common-denominator features, which in turn means if you need it, you gotta write it and maintain it.

Cloudflare has a pretty simple policy. They only censor content when they legally have to, or when it's child porn. That actually opens them up to a lot of heat from people who aren't big fans of the KKK, the Westboro Baptist Church, or botnets. BUT they don't specifically allow botnets as a weird method of promoting them, it's a widely applied policy.

I would bet things would be a fair bit easier for them if they agreed to take things down which most people don't like, but from my position they are taking a very principaled stand for free speech. Are people on hn actually arguing we want more censorship on more places on the web?

I don't know why he did it, but there's a difference between a wife and a wife's name. There's a decent chance that even if the person isn't involved, her name is or may at some point be.

It's not difficult to open a bank account in your spouse's name without his/her knowledge, and use that account to do things he/she wouldn't do.
> I think the the same applies for many Data Scientist jobs, which are these days more about fetching/cleaning/visualizing data than making machine learning on it.

Well, creating ML algorithms is a small part of data science. And getting data, and making sense of it, is a highly non-trivial part (though, somehow underappreciated). Very often it requires a lot of knowledge, skill and experience in used methods, dataset and statistics in general.

Anyone can plug&play a scikit-learn algorithm within 2 lines of Python, yet it does not make everyone a data scientist. Anyone can copy&paste&run a deep learning network architecture, but without proper care it is likely to terribly overfit to underprepared dataset.
How does Go completely ignore run-time errors? For all I know it forces you to deal with them by treating them as values instead of exceptions.

It really depends on the website. I used to love commenting on Motherboard until they did away with comments. I just recently discovered that AVClub has a pretty tolerable and insightful community at the moment.
Interesting, I hadn't heard about that.

In the case of Mario 64 though, many of the models and polygons didn't have textures but used super-simple single-color flat shading. So texture fill rate wouldn't not have been a constraint.

Most games also didn't use a custom microcode, but used one of a handful of microcode libraries for the RCP that Nintendo provided. A notable exception to this is Factor 5, which did write their custom microcode to improve graphics performance, with great results.

High energy density and safety are somehow mutually contradictory. It's very tricky to have a lot of energy packed into a small volume and not let it be quickly released in a blast.

Quick charging is also tricky. If you have a 10 Ampere-hour battery and want to charge it in 15 minutes, you can't have your average charging current below 100 A. This takes really thick wires, and will release a lot of heat.
Something about the platform-centric world we're in now is that this sort of attack doesn't have the blocking power it once did: you can mirror your content on Twitter, FB, G+, etc. and cross-link so people can still read your stuff. This makes the "denial" part pretty watered down; it's a wonder people even bother with these sorts of attacks anymore for non-services (i.e., for regular media material like text, photos, etc.)

Of course, maybe the goal is to deny someone ad revenue, but that seems awfully low-status for such a high-profile attack: "Yeah, we really got 'em! Denied 'em AD REVENUE for a whole week!"
Clearly they will tell Apple before publishing on their website. Then again they sell cracking software for money.

iTunes is done by a different team than the OS. At one point at least much of the iTunes web side was handled by remote contractors, not sure of the app itself. Given that Apple is releasing 4 new OSs every year its not surprising something gets screwed up.

It will be fixed within a week I bet.
It sounds like you want to place your code in the public domain rather than publishing it under a permissive copyright. Have you looked at the unlicense?
They appear expensive because the expectation in people's minds is that email, and most online services are free.

Personally I find email to be the most important online service. Everything depends on email. While I can live a non luddite life without Netflix and Dropbox and cloud VMs, and Facebooks, I quite literally can't live my normal life without email.

For me, it's more important than a phone. Because of this, I would expect to pay less for a mobile plan than for email, but even with "expensive" email service, the situation seem reversed.

If the idea of paying for online services were more entranced in people's mind, there would be more competition and there would be email providers offering services at any price point. Now we only have free email, and "expensive" email, for "those" people.
I would add that there's a list of flags as well, that trigger on creation and happen within a minute.

I've ran across a few of those, including Thalmic Myo, Double Robotics, and some early Uber posts (which the blocks now seem to have been removed).

Usually, on news sites (like... Hacker News), there is a disclosure when there's fiduciary connections to the news at large. Like "This object was provided gratis by company", or "News company is a subsidiary of parent company"... things like that. It's responsible reporting and news.

But yes, things can get user-flag killed. And things can get system-flag killed. And we have no clue which happened. Seems rather slimy and questionably ethical.
