Good, then it should make you angry as well -- Hillary's repeatedly shown herself to be in favor of weakening encryption. Out of all the possible responses to the leak hers was the absolute worst.
Definitely not funny for all the admins that had an emergency task to handle. This site needs some good updating.
That's a little too broad brush. Groups of people can share common values, and those groups can be quite large. In the millions.

Companies can have values, but it's probably rare because what brings most people in a company together is a desire to pay the bills.
America's forgotten working class
I live a few miles away from the Charleston SC airport/AFB now, and it's amazing the variety of planes I see. Even getting back from a 12 hour work day, I'll stop and watch for unfamiliar engine sounds every time.

On another note, it never matters the exact topic: I get a little jealous every time I read about these groups of people enthusiastic and relentless for their apparently purposeless niche hobby. Maybe it's what it says about their work schedules, or just that they can keep focused on one thing long enough to really get into it like this..
This is just great.

I have a couple of mutual friends with Jess Lee from my time at Stanford, and no one from back in the day thought she was exactly the type to become a venture capitalist.

The rest of her story is probably more well-publicized: choosing a PM job at Google as opposed to an engineering job at Intuit, turning from a No. 1 Polyvore fan to its CEO who led its acquisition by Yahoo! And now, she's the first (honestly, I am surprised that she's the first) US investing partner at Sequoia.

There are many things I am not particularly fond of about Silicon Valley, but her well-deserved ascent in the valley embodies so much of the positive qualities about Silicon Valley.
Rather, you don't get a discount for using the self-checkout. The price you are paying has the cost of a human cashier built into it. If you use self-checkout, you're providing that service yourself for free, but the company still collects the premium they charge for human service.
Not to mention the potential to generate free press coverage from "controversy."
Sure he was joking. Maybe Hillary is also joking that she is running for president, who knows.
Are you not in the module's global scope? If you are pylint is right and you wrong, you need to move this line inside a function or a class. There should be no code running at module level. Here you might argue that this is akin to a decorator, and that bar will not be called, so yes it is a corner case, but the main rule (only allow consts at module level) is still useful, and I'd say vital even.
If I understood your original argument correctly, you believe that if transit planners have to resort to using busses, they've failed ("blew it").

In the case of Zürich, how did they not fail your metric? If the busses are truly superfluous, then why doesn't the transit agency discontinue those lines? I'd like to think they're there for a reason other than paying bus drivers and lining some pockets.

The reality is that cities, because they're changing, will always need busses alongside rail. As new areas become popular and need access, it's far quicker and cheaper to route a new bus line there. Today's bus route might become tomorrow's rail.
At Appcanary, we're thinking about opening up our vulnerability database to be browsable and searchable by the public. If you're not sure which version has the patch for this vulnerability in your distro, here's what we know:

Ubuntu - https://appcanary.com/vulns/45984

Debian - https://appcanary.com/vulns/45983

Amazon Linux - https://appcanary.com/vulns/45992

Centos - no patch yet

If you found this useful, please let me know!
Well, it would be their choice to make if it was their property. But is it their choice to stop any development anywhere?

That's the reality that many California cities live with: people who moved there a decade or more ago want their place to not change at all from the moment they moved in, not realizing that their own arrival also disturbed those who were there before.

Because the problem isn't so much people not building stuff on their own property, it's a small number of highly motivated people that can stop any change at all, or interfere with others use of their land to the extent that they can not build, even within existing permitted use.
Haha, glad I could help
It may depend on the time frame and geolocation. I tried to do this about 6 months ago.

I have no problem with self-checkout generally but I find it pretty bad for a "real" grocery shopping (as opposed to picking up a few barcoded items). I'm almost always picking up a fair bit of produce and other items that don't have barcodes and dealing with these is very painful compared to having a cashier.

Home improvement stores can be a pain too because of awkward shapes but, of course, it depends on what you're buying.
Just the first few duckduckgo results of a search for "usa in person voter fraud":

http://www.politifact.com/georgia/statements/2012/sep/19/naa...

http://dailysignal.com/2015/08/11/nearly-300-cases-the-exten...

http://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/2588/how-many-kn...

So, one source out of the first random 3 that duckduckgo gave me considers in-person voter impersonation to be a substantial problem. It cites a Heritage Foundation report containing "Nearly 300" cases. This is less than the 537 votes by which Bush defeated Gore in Florida, and spread across 50 states and more than 30 years, but it's possible that each of these instances could include many fraudulent votes. The report is linked, though, so we can just break it down. The instances citing impersonation are:

Shasta Nicole Crayton, Alabama, 2004, impersonated one person and was caught by one of the means I specifically listed

Eugene W. Victor, New Mexico, 2015, impersonated one person and turned himself in

Gary Copeland, Tennessee, 2011, impersonated two people and was caught by voter ID laws. Credit where it's due, there is some positive effect here.

Mary Lou Simpson, Tennessee, 2005, impersonated one person, unspecified how she was caught.

Hazel Brionne Woodward, Texas, 2015, got her son to impersonate her husband and was caught when the husband showed up to vote.

Reyna Almanza, Texas, 2011, got her son to impersonate his brother, who was incarcerated. Unspecified if she was caught just by someone noticing that or by other means.

Doris McFarland, Washington, 2005, cast her husband's absentee ballot. This appears to me to be mis-characterized absentee fraud, but I'll count it anyway.

Robert Victor Holmgren, Washington, 2005, "cast a ballot for his recently deceased wife". That seems unlikely to have been done in person, but I'll count it anyway.

That's nine votes across more than a decade and five states.

There are a number of instances of duplicate voting, which is where you vote as yourself in multiple jurisdictions, and registration fraud, where you register as multiple individuals. Voter ID laws plausibly prevent those, but it seems more sensible, efficient, and effective to take measures to protect the integrity of the voter registry instead of verifying identity at the polls. After all, if one wants to do this in a state with voter ID laws, all one needs to do is use absentee ballots.

You're right that absentee fraud is relatively effective (which is why all parties do it). It's just less cost effective before a certain point than making sure legitimate votes for you are cast, and legitimate votes for your opponent are not.

> Since nothing much has been done in the past 20 years, I don't expect anything to change when you inevitably find people on camera.

You can arrest those people and try them for election fraud, as has happened in the past.

It gets better than this. Because regardless of the source, the contents of these emails is something the american public should be a lot more alarmed about.

As with all things, it's not always that easy.

A great example I've been fighting with recently - a backend which requires a very large in-memory data graph which is unique for each user. Rebuilding this graph from the backing datastores takes between 5 and 10 seconds, but if it's in memory, responses take under 100ms.

The problem is that this monolith will be deployed in a microservice environment - stateless routers between dozens of docker hosts, each hosting multiple dozens of services, and any one of which can go up or down seemingly at whim.

Even if we were not concerned with the challenge of putting stateful applications in a stateless environment, we'd still have to worry through how to ensure that servers going down doesn't cause the entire cluster to rebalance and give everyone 10 second load times, how to route secure traffic so that users are always hitting the same servers (even across sessions), how to mitigate the data flood if the servers did catastrophically rebalance, and so forth.

So yes, theoretically, monoliths may be capable of scaling horizontally in a cookie cutter pattern. But the devil is still in the details.

Oh, and to fix your article/comments problem - just segregate off the one article to dedicated servers. Not too had a problem to solve, especially since newspaper articles are nicely routable via their URLs. Back when I worked with bare metal in colocated datacenters, it was a very popular method of handling popular customers.

Sure, it can go either way. But in the absence of a kernel 0-day, segregating services on the same host is useful.

For fun a few months ago, I implemented BLAKE in JS. It's a state of the art hash function developed by djb.

It looks like my kernel updates are being held back:

~ $ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
ffmpeg libva1 linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.

The newest available version of linux-image-generic according to apt-cache showpkg is 3.13.0.100.108. (I'm running 3.13.0.98 right now.) Maybe 3.13.100 has the fix to this bug, but I'll have to figure out what's keeping back linux-kernel-image from being updated.

What's really puzzling though is that I should have kernle 4.4.x, since I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.5, according to the Ubuntu Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Support#A14.04.x_Ubuntu_Kerne... It's strange that my Kubuntu installation is frozen on 3.13.x.

Depends on the group. Where I grew up, style was the name of the game. It wasn't good enough to do a layup. You had to do a trick layup with a needless underhand, etc.

The problem is that there was always one or two players that were naturally gifted and played all day so they could do any trick they wanted. Then, everyone tries to do it to show they have chops, too.

Guatemala (1952-54) and Iran (1953) both come to mind. United Fruit and Anglo-Iranian Oil -- the latter a British firm, but with distinct US interests. Cuba (Bay of Pigs) and US sugar, alcohol, and tobacco interests.

Almost certainly Sukarno (Indonesia), though that nominally had Communist concerns as well. Indonesia was a source of oil, natural gas, tin, copper, gold, natural rubber, and tropical hardwoods.

This assertion confuses me.

I use fail2ban on boxes I have key-only ssh configured for.

Are you aware fail2ban works for services other than ssh?

If an attacker / script knocks unsuccessfully on my ssh door, other doors are then closed to them.

I also get much (much!) cleaner logs thanks to fail2ban.

The problem is that then people will use self-checkout even though they know that what they're buying is going to be time consuming, awkward, and require significant manual intervention in the self-checkout lane. This is especially true in home improvement stores where things like lumber really aren't designed to work with self-checkout at all.

Exactly. Because those writers and directors held Communist views, Hollywood executives chose not to engage in business with them. That may have resulted in firing. So it goes.

I've witnessed one such instance: when I lived in Seattle (since moved to SF 5 years ago) I heard people there draw parallels between the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the Embarcadero Freeway, speaking favorably about what happened when the latter was torn down.
"Fair" is a pretty subjective concept. Is it fair for people who don't live in a place to decide how that place develops?

If I read this right, it seems to have been created to be propagated for use in IP-SEC at the request of someone who is not clearly identified (according to the original source of the RFC).

I had a job circa-2000 where the info-security officer was ex-military and we were told never to use IP-SEC because it was not considered secure. I got no other explanation of why or how she knew about it, but was told it was a non-starter and not up for discussion. We had to install physical lines between offices instead. It could have been bluster, of course. I don't know enough to say.

There have been multiple discoveries of crypto weakening discovered over the past couple of years and this has the hallmarks of another one.

Every time, I wonder how far behind we are on crypto, especially when you consider things like GCHQ had public key crypto (and kept quiet about it) long before DH & RSA.

There is a lot of work required before we have any level of assurance that current crypto is up to required levels. I'm glad capable people are doing this sort of work and investigating and pushing improvements.

That was deliberate. I couldn't resist either.
For laser printers (and ink jets as well), the cartridge you get with the new printer often has a much lower print capacity than a new (separately purchased) cartridge. For example, the printer will come with a cartridge that can print 500 pages, whereas a new one would print 2,000.

But otherwise, yes, the printer itself is a loss-leader, just like the razor industry.

Ask HN: How secure are Pixel phone fingerprint scanners vs. iPhones?
I'm upgrading from a Nexus 4 to a Pixel XL and this will be the first time I've had a fingerprint scanner.

Apple is very proactive and transparent in sharing what they do to protect your biometric data (even from them)[1]. But all I've found on this Pixel's is this [2] which, while it seems pretty straightforward, isn't exactly gushing about it the way Apple is.

I'm not by any means a security expert, so I'd love to learn from those who are which, if either, is more secure (understanding that the fundamental nature of using fingerprints in this manner has issues), or if either has a clear advantage/disadvantage in terms of their implementation.

> X% of people betting an event will happen

You may be well aware of this, but in case you aren't, that isn't the value that prediction markets give.

The value that prediction markets give is based on the odds people are willing to bet at, not the proportion of people willing to bet in what direction.

If any risk neutral (in terms of currency) individual believes that their predictions are better than the prediction market, and the transaction costs and time costs are low enough, etc., it should be rational for them to participate in it. And if they are better at predicting, the prediction market prediction should improve.

So, yes, prediction markets might not always make the best possible predictions, but if anyone claims to be better than them, it opens the question of why they aren't participating.

So, if I don't have any special knowledge about the possibility of something, and think that a substantial amount of people know better than I do, I generally expect the market's prediction to be better than mine.

(Assuming the people better informed than me make up a reasonably large part of the market, which I think they usually do.)
