Well, a bunch of people will blame the CIA, but you can draw a pretty heavy dark line from the average Venezuelan voter to the problems they're having today.
And most of all, the people that are part of the project
are also likely to be malicious because trying to infect
someone is the only valid reason to recommend this method of
installation.

This lacks any empathy.

One valid reason: large projects (e.g. rvm) have proven over time to not be malicious. It is far easier for a user to copy and paste one line than any other install method. This lowers the barrier to entry and reduces support requests for the maintainer.

Having an opinion is fine. Disagreeing is fine. Pretending like your answer is the only reasonable one: not likely to win over many people.

Wonder if that answer includes Compute Engine. Doubt it.
Salary seems ok for that position in Seattle. Remember too, you're not paying CA income tax on it. I don't know how much of your Amazon comp is salary and how much sign-on that they can claw back if you leave prematurely though. And pretty much everyone leaves Amazon prematurely (speaking as a Seattle resident).

Not that people shouldn't go to the Moon, but there are a few 'amenities' that make Mars more attractive for a lot of people:

- Water and free carbon dioxide are hugely more abundant on Mars than on the Moon. These are essential supplies for increasing biomass and making fuel.

- There's a nice, somewhat-protective atmosphere.

- There's a 24.66 hour day.

- Temperatures are relatively moderate.
Yahoo re-enables email forwarding
I'm pretty sure DDos against http resources have become quite hard to pull of, which is why there was string of attempts to blackmail smaller email provider but nothing like it happens to similar startups relying on the web. Even the Linode attacks are only possible because they're highly target at a few critical systems there.
It reads to me that ZF is absorbing the industrial side of Cherry and spun out the keyboard/key switch side to a private equity firm (GENUI).

If you like Cherry switches in keyboards, this should probably be seen as a good thing.
> whether it’s adding documentation, cleaning up syntax, or fixing an edge case.

If you're a junior/younger programmer make sure you have your edge-case fix properly reviewed by someone else who knows that chunk of the codebase.

With the best will in the world, unsupervised "edge cases fixing" can wreak bloody mayhem by introducing new edge cases. Been there done that.
Tanzania: 'Ivory Queen' Said to Have Confessed
This is probably the main reason my Aeron has lasted so long vs standard chairs, the seat hasnt lost any of its comfort.
So. Can we start talking about changing internet protocols to strengthen the integrity of internet network services against DoS attack?

Currently, the internet is very very open (as long as you don't live in certain countries). A baby monitor in Kansas can send arbitrary traffic to a router connecting a major financial services company in Hong Kong to an internet backbone. The idea, in a very hippy, world peace kinda way, is nice. But... probably not something we need to happen, much less should want to happen or allow, if good sense prevailed.

We have hacks in place that can prevent that particular situation from becoming too much trouble, but if you have enough baby monitors, something somewhere is going to choke. And really this is the point to me: you [as the network service provider] should not have to have carrier-grade infrastructure to avoid this scenario. If Casey Brogrammer wants to prop up a start-up on her DSL line (do people still have DSL?) she should be able to without fear of DoS. How do we do that?

I have no idea. But i'm betting it would require some rearchitecting of the internet and heavily modified protocols. Personally, I think the global BGP tables are gross (and, let's face it people, depending on RAM to perpetually increase in size while simultaneously decreasing in cost ad infinitum is not a realistic scaling mechanism), I think the many flaws in modern tcp/ip protocols are not designed with specific enough use cases in mind, and that the generalist design of the modern Internet has become more of a hindrance to efficiency and progress than a benefit. There is absolutely no requirement that we keep engineering ourselves into a corner, and IPv6 sure as shit isn't going to solve it.

... which, based on all the actual evidence, the US had nothing to do with beyond having an official position that Chavez shouldn't be removed by extra-constitutional means.

If the CIA had staged a coup Chavez would have been killed when he was captured. They're not amateurs.

And Eva Golinger makes a lot of accusations in her book that are literally crazy, particularly surrounding Chavez's death.
Harold Martin held without bail (high risk of flight) accused of theft of 20 years worth of government (NSA) tools/data, Trump stating he will not concede the election, tens of millions of IoT devices used in DDOS attack, Assange (wikileaks originator) cut off from internet, DNC hacked and exposed.

A conspiracy theorists dream.

The part that I find interesting is how many people who read the script are going to decode the blob and verify that the blob is non-malicious.
With ISPs (at least in the US) moving towards data caps, this is becoming a reality. It won't fix the problem.

DDOS attacks via IOT don't have to send much data per request. If my devices are doing an extra 10Mb/hour, I won't notice. 1000 homes is 10Gb/hour and that's just a few blocks in a city. 100,000 homes seems easy to hit, which is a petabyte of data per hour.

It's death by a thousand paper cuts. If my internet bill goes up a dollar per month, it's highly unlikely I'm going to debug my refrigerator to figure out how to stop it.
I get that. I just don't understand how that informs our response to the situation. Both Brexit and Syria are terrible situations.
At least you avoid javascript pastejacking in this manner.
Man, I really wish US intelligence agencies were as competent and powerful in real life as they are in conspiracy theories. We would be running the world.
Thanks for letting me know! Too late to update the original, so here's the text again:

> [T]he koseki ... is an integral part of Japanese family law that doesn’t actually care about families beyond ensuring that the legally significant aspects of them are identifiable to the Rest of the World. Thus, a koseki extract today will show a marriage, but not whether the spouses are living together. The system also doesn’t care (i.e., show) if the registered father is not the biological father. It doesn’t care whom the kids live with after a divorce or if a divorced parent is paying maintenance or how often (or if) he sees his children.
It looks like it's going to be necessary to get serious about ingress filtering. See RFC 2827, which laid out the basics. Fortunately, there aren't that many ISPs left. If Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon got serious about ingress filtering, it would cut way down on the number of devices that could get through with a random IP source address. The ISPs are in a good position to tell their customers to unplug whatever is causing the trouble. (Assuming it's not the ISP's own router, which they should be able to fix remotely.)

At the big-pipe level, there should be sampling. 1 in 10000 packets has been suggested, which will reveal any massive attack without hurting privacy much. If a big pipe has an excessive fraction of attack packets, that indicates the sending end isn't doing proper ingress filtering. That's a matter to be dealt with between network operators, possibly with involvement from CERT and Homeland Security if necessary.

This problem is solveable, but it's going to take some ass-kicking. There are now enough big companies annoyed about this for that to happen.
This stupid hack exists because Linux is so fragmented it's impossible to distribute software easily in any other way.

That and most Linux distributions are significantly harder to deal with both technically and administratively than Apple or Google app stores.

Fix these problems and curl pipe bash will die.

But here we have the usual sort of nonproductive advice you get from security people: shaming with no thought to underlying causes and God forbid we try to improve anything.
Gah. As an ex-pat I hate missing out on good British TV. I'll check this out - thanks!
If the income is really shifting from the rich to the rest of society, it's kind of hard to explain how Chavez's daughter is worth four billion dollars while ordinary people can't get toilet paper or antibiotics. Seems to me like the cash is actually flowing in the other direction.
At least people should recognize the symmetry of hiring and firing. At some point, Bombardier hired each of those 7,500 people. Did this make the news? Were there HN posts praising the management for creating those jobs?

Here's how it works. We in NYC send all our tax dollars upstate, and then as a favor, they make all the laws for us.
Hahahahaha, Microsoft really screwed itself on this.

Ipads are more reliable and have a better gui, so why is the NFL using surface tablets? It's because Apple didn't need to push the ipad, but surface was really new and Microsoft really needed to promote it anyway possible, so it made a huge marketing push on the NFL, no doubt making it financially very attractive and promising all sorts of help.

What Microsoft seems to have not thought out is it would work out well for the coaches only if the entire network system worked flawlessly, or surface would get rejected by association, and so they should have given extensive help to make sure that happened. But they apparently didn't do that, the network screwed up endlessly, and sure enough, surface is being painted as no good.
This is bad. This is really really bad. This completely matches my personal experience. Microsoft QA under Nadella is only part of company I think underperforms.

As far as I can remember from "How Google tests software" , Google doesn't have whole QA division too (other than a elite kinda testers) and testing is integrated to developers job(SDET). This was not true for Microsoft for long time. It would take a lot of time for Microsoft to become on par with Google in testing.
Considering the significant push for high-speed train infrastructure in India (and the fact that train is the main mode of long distance travel for a majority of Indians), I'm also surprised that didn't focus more on India (or maybe they did and it didn't pan out, I don't know).

I heard a while back that there was some work going into an interpreter for rust's mid-level IR (MIR), with the intention being to support a REPL. Not sure how that is going though.
Legal systems define an abstract interface between individuals in a society. It's interesting how Japan's registration system choose different entities and different 'ACL rules' compared to, say, US common law.

Seems like it'd be tricky to build a koseki-like registration here. Legal abstractions have a lot of inertia, and usually requires some sort of war or revolution to precipitate change.

For example, most of Western Europe's legal systems are based on the Napoleonic code, spread by conquest, and was largely written after the French Revolution to sweep away the last vestiges of the monarchy and feudalism. Japan's modern koseki system was created right after the Meiji Restoration.

I rented my Manhattan studio for a month using a Craigslist post. It took less than 10 minutes to make the post, and the place was rented by the end of the day. I had no pictures, and five sentences describing my place. As another poster has already mentioned, Airbnb just made the process safer and more efficient. That efficiency has final affected the bottom-line on hotels, making this a political move. New York will never be "Silicon Alley" with moves like this.

Doesn't that popular software that tracks you tell you to install by piping the output of curl. I think it's call Brew Ware.
This is good since sometimes the plane's own batteries have caught on fire.

Having some kind of flame-proof, reinforced steel box they can drop dangerous devices in wouldn't be a bad idea either, as in the case of some idiot with shoe-bombs they could wrestle the device off the person and chuck it in there to be contained.

Hövding: An airbag for urban cyclists
To be honest, the situation across the pond is flummoxing to Europeans.. ISPs here are only service providers and nothing more. They're seen as a pipe to the internet and that's it. They often do offer 3-in-1 packages (television, phone and internet) but thats because they evolved from telephone or cable providers to ISPs and/or the copper/cable provides the signal space anyway, why not offer it. I have cable and pay €49 for 40Mbit/4Mbit. Its €59 for 150/15 and €77 for 300/30, and all these packages include TV. TV-less is the same speeds but €40, €50 and €58. And you get what you pay for, I consistently hit 33+/4+ on speedtest.net.
Copper prices and speeds are a bit worse:
€48 for 20/2 and €63 for 60/6 (although that does include Spotify), both packages with TV and telephone (can't get a separate TV+Internet deal). Speeds are a bit more janky since it depends on how many people are active on the block line, but still generally pretty close to what's advertised.
Anyone who has a medical condition in Venezuela probably dislikes this "reordering of economic forces" too. There are nearly no pharmaceuticals. Operating rooms can't function. One in three patients in hospitals end up dead according to the government's own statistics:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_Venezuela#2010s

This isn't what socialism is supposed to look like.

As for the rich: the old rich certainly are poorer, and the old middle class seems to be sinking below poverty line by international metrics... But don't forget that there is a new class of rich people in Venezuela, as the leading party's inner circle has accumulated wealth. Even North Korea has its rich people despite its extreme Stalinist interpretation of socialism.

The name of his party was the German National Socialist Workers Party, but other than, maybe, "German" and "National", those words had about as much connection with their common meanings as the "Democratic" in "Democratic People's Republic of Korea".
Could the market failure be addressed through private class action suits against manufacturers of insecure IoT devices?
I've used a Python implementation of soundex() in a production data mining app to help resolve things like ECQUADOR->ECUADOR. Worked well (as an entity resolution mechanism among many others).
Is there a way to determine electricity used during all of this? Certainly each IoT device has low bandwidth and load draw, but each of their service requests is honored the same as any normal human request. A small signal from a device prompts more electricity in potentially multiple servers upstream until the host can satisfy the request. So are there potentially thousands of kWh being wasted even with mitigation? Or can requests from certain IP's be denied and thus electricity saved?
heh. move over user-centered design, user-centered malign is making a come-back :)

AWS has considerable defenses against DDOS attacks of all types - here's the video from Reinvent 2015 which introduces many of Amazon's defenses as well as best practices - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys0gG1koqJA

Interestingly, the presenter notes that Amazon had seen a drop in DNS as an attack vector in 2015. I asked the presenter (Product Manager) why they hadn't productized the DDoS attack dashboard so you could be aware if you were being attacked (and it was being absorbed by AWS) and his response was that there was insufficient demand at that point to justify the developer staffing. He gave me his card and asked to request the feature so he could us it to make the case internally.

Does anyone here have stories of being successfully DDoS'd on AWS (other than by their own staff :) ?
How did New York survive before airbnb???
It was certainly devoid of meaning when it came to its use in the name "National Socialist Worker's Party". In other contexts, it's oftsn used with substantial meaning, and even often with a consistent enough meaning that uses are comparable. But that doesn't suddenly render the atypical uses examples of the usual meaning.
Ive never put the words together, but you've basically highlighted what I want:

I don't think this is as much of a problem as you are making it out to be. If the east village, which is currently mostly zoned R8B[1] were tomorrow to be substantially upzoned (to say R10) you'd see lots of new construction within a year. There'd be so much money to be made that deals would happen.

Early trips would of course not have a large crew, since they'd be mostly focused on setting up a base, and be more about cargo and equipment. Saying "several tens of millions" is because that's generally what it costs right now to get someone to low Earth orbit. If we can get early trips to Mars down to what it would cost for a current orbital mission, that would be very impressive.

>Minimum parking spaces

Minimum parking requirements are a big deal for low-rises, where the parking area is an appreciable portion of the building's overall square feet.

The gleaming 40+ story high-rises in the Civic Center/Van Ness area run from around $3000 to $5500 for a basic studio or 1-bedroom. There are also several parking garages in the area, distinct from the residential buildings, where a monthly reserved parking space is around $375.

Assuming parking is built into rent (it isn't) and a 1:1 ratio of parking spaces to apartments (it's actually less), removing minimum parking could only bring the rent down by $375.

I think the real explanation is that desks are much smaller than apartments. Approximately everyone at Twitter, Square, Uber, etc. is willing to pay a substantial portion of their six-figure salary for a trivial walking commute. To have a corresponding apartment in the neighborhood for every desk at Twitter, Square, Uber, etc. would require dozens of residential towers. So when only 3 or 4 are going to exist, they have to priced to skim off only the very top of the corporate ladder at those companies.
Spitballing here: Could there be a way to set up some quasi-legal certification service that augments rather than replaces the existing system?

I am a bit paranoid about disclosing details, but basically our SAML IDP was down, so the sales person couldn't log in at all. I was messing with the demo server to convince myself that it is 100% IDPs fault and we can't do anything about it, and discovered to my surprise that the form-based authentication was not disabled on it (normally our servers are in one mode or the other, but not both, even though this is an artificial separation). So I gave them the direct link to the form based entry point and most of the demo could be done.
