It renders the server that's hosting a leak unable to broadcast the leak temporarily, while they arrange more conventional measures to seize it. It's a more rapid response than getting a warrant and a police team on location. The broad nature of the attack also avoids tipping off the server owners.

I still give it less than a 5% probability, though.

Personally it's Angular 2.0 for me. I'm a big fan of Angular 1.0 but can't stand how complex it has become. I want to be able to start using a framework in a matter of hours, not weeks. Most of Angular 2 complexity is unecessary and I write large SPAs ,not toys, but I don't like the noise. I use Go and Python on the server, I don't want to have to manage a Java style application on the client, because that's what it is another version of GWT with Typescript in place of Java.

On the other side, my macbook is the worst notebook I ever own. Faulty SSD (replaced by warranty, but still 1 month downtime because of terrible service), faulty battery after 3 years (which can't realistically be replaced), non-working audio port and speakers (I'm using USB headset), faulty keyboard (half of keys don't work as I'm typing it using Keyboard Viewer), 1 failed charger (worked 2 years), 1 charger will fail soon (cords are peeling off). There were various issues with Asuses, Lenovos I owned, but never so much. I used to own 25-year old BMW which was failing every month or two, so I had to constantly repair it and always guessing which part will fail next. I have the same feeling about Macbook, I never had so unreliable device.

It looks like half a house.

There was a pretty famous course case in Canada on this point, on whether a mall could be useful as a public space.

Court decided no, but a dissent lamented that there were no public spaces in many instances.

It's definitely been opined that there's little benefit to having ISDS in TTIP/CETA. I suspect the main reason for keeping them in is symmetry--if you drop them TTIP and CETA, you'll see much stronger pressure to drop them from treaties where they make more sense (e.g., trade with, say, Pakistan), as people will argue that it wasn't necessary for TTIP so it shouldn't be necessary for other agreements.

if i had conversations in email regularly I would not sort them into folders. i dont sort IM conversations into folders.

no matter what, i rely on search. if i need to find something in facebook messenger, i use search. gmail, search. outlook, search.

if an email is important, i star it. if i need to plan with mother and sister, i send a message to a family IM group.

virtually every message i send is 1) through a routing abstraction layer on one of the two ends 2) instant messaging 3) social forum. direct email to email chitchat isnt a regular practice, but that doesnt mean i dont use email. email for me functions as a 1)compatibility layer between otherwise isolated systems 2) old school notification tray

Based on all the talk I've read about this show, I feel like I should love it, but watching the first episode "The National Anthem" so turned me off that I put it down and never gathered up the will to give it another shot.

From what I've read, there's somewhat of a split opinion on that specific episode, but to me it was just too unbelievable and silly, all while taking itself so seriously. And because I couldn't suspend my disbelief, it made the whole concept of the episode seem even more pointlessly lewd and uncomfortable. I don't consider myself a squeamish person, and I get that the uncomfortableness is kind of the point, but it just didn't leave me with the desire to watch any more.

I dunno, maybe I should give it another try.

That was my immediate reaction as well, but as pointed out nearby (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12762415), Time Warner Cable != Time Warner, Inc., so this is not a telecom merger.

The regulations did have an effect in the 1980s, of course. That was back when there was only one company that did long distance service, and (earlier) you rented, not owned, your home telephone. So long-distance calls were very expensive, and a Big Deal, and you had only one or two phones in your house, because they were so expensive.
Actually what would be cool would be to release the data, and hold a contest related to it. Maybe one award track for interesting analysis, one for presentation of data. You could probably get some companies to sponsor it, as it's cheap advertising that people will be interested in viewing. Plus someone might be able to write up a paper on it for journal publication.
What would you do if you had one test left to finish a college degree?
I have to test out of college algebra then I qualify for an Associate of Applied Business - Computer Science Technology - Computer Networking Specialist. I've completed all other courses required to obtain this degree but failed miserably at college algebra.
After extensive study rather than retake the course(700$+) I am going to CLEP out of it for 100$. If all goes well I can walk in December. Although I was also thinking, if I procrastinate and walk in May my degree will be from 2017; which matters in my opinion since networking technology has changed so much recently.

Should I start looking for jobs now and if so where should I look? What would you do? How much should I realistically expect to make with this degree?

Type inference is horrible. Mostly because as soon as your project gets large, type inference eats inordinate amounts of time during compiling and indexing and developer experience degrades. Combine that with operator overloading and generics and it gets even worse. Right now I'm suffering through it with swift with a +100k LOC project. The obj-c equivalent compiles and indexes 5-10x faster.

If you can make type inference scale, then I would be all for it. If I'm restricted to a small LoC count, might as well use a dynamic language.

Static typing is a scalable tool. It lets me avoid an entire category of bugs and unit tests. It make refactors easier as I just have to change my thing and then fix all of the obvious compile errors once. It helps me define parts of API contracts in code vs documentation and unit testing. And when a project gets large, the automated nature of static typing helps a lot!
I also played a lot of Goldeneye multiplayer as a kid. My memories of it are far fonder than more recent plays on emulators! That said, I learned through a comment a couple years ago on HN that Goldeneye's multiplayer mode was a total afterthought, not really supported by the publisher and more or less done by one guy (or at least a very small team) in a month or two. Pretty incredible, considering its kind of the grandfather of local multiplayer first person shooters. I don't think its fair to hold it up against many other games that jumped off its shoulders.

If you haven't, I recommend checking out the story on Goldeneye!

You don't get it. The importance you place on hair and skin color in telling people apart isn't following a set of objective, mathematical criteria, it's a set of priorities based on what you're used to. It is entirely possible someone from a different background thinks of hair- and skin color as irrelevant details, much like you would with a brown and white cow vs a black and white one.

You're wrong. As you can see on page 31 of RFC6376, the signature clearly covers a hash of the message body:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6376#page-31

It's possible to hash only a prefix of the body by specifying the 'l' parameter in the DKIM header field, but this is unusual and the email used as example in this blog post does not use the 'l' parameter.

DNS is already decentralized. Running your own is not hard. There are a lot of misguided choices in infrastructure, though, driven by PR and marketing of various CDN and DNS providers. They really want to convince everyone that relying on a single company and single AS is more reliable, than rolling your own solution.
The policy that caused so much pain before is to take DNS records, ignore their TTLs, and apply some other arbitrarily selected policy instead. I confess, I don't understand how the proposal at hand is different in ways that prevent the previous pains from recurring.

Maybe you can enlighten me on key differences I've overlooked? How do you define "failing to reply"? Do you ever stop serving records for being stale, or do you store them indefinitely?
OK, but that's only helpful here in the sense that I could remove Comodo from my trust store, but nobody's going to do that. Not even me, and I'm the one complaining about this. What I can't do is have any confidence in the provenance of a CSR they signed: did it actually come from the organization that controls that domain? (That was what I meant by "provenance")
If you rely on an honest, ethical democratic process, what those fools did was astounding. Sharing values with people like Bernie Sanders is just icing on the cake.

There is a wonderful thing there since 1941. It's called: a mouse.

I don't know what you do but if I need something done it's either at work, where I have a docking station with all that ergonomic stuff attached to it like a mouse or keyboard, or it is at home where...you probably guessed it already, I have just another docking station and/or a Desktop-PC.

Even if I work on a train and don't have a table, I mostly use my keyboard for work. So I'm curious what involves so much mouse movement to base such a huge change primary on a touch pad.

The more prohibitively expensive California (and the Bay Area in particular) becomes, the better it is for the rest of the country - entrepreneurial talent has already started to relocate elsewhere, and I expect this trend to continue, perhaps even accelerate, in the future. There are advantages to having a single, super-dense concentration of business, marketing, and engineering talent but there are also (in my opinion, greater) advantages to having multiple regions competing fiercely for that talent.

Ex-IBMer here: until 2015, Macs weren't an option for people upgrading their PCs. They're deploying new Apples as laptops age out, and employees will then have a choice of a MacBook/MacBook Pro (depending on job role), a Lenovo laptop (configured for job role), or for the special snowflakes with sufficient budget, some custom configuration. BYOD is alive, well, and encouraged at IBM.

Most IBMers with Macs were using their personally owned hardware (as was the rare IBMer using a Microsoft Surface). Early adopters (before the end of 2014) were supported internally through the community, and starting in 2015 we were required to install a configuration program that would add an IBM app store and configure the machine so it complied with the internal security rules. Many of the day-to-day headaches on the Windows machines (e.g., printing) were eliminated with the IBM development Mac tools, but other things were impossible or required a VM to do, like using an IBM internal SOCKS proxy application to connect to customer sites.

IBM has a very active and dedicated Linux community as well. I can't speak to support numbers, but the tooling was more mature and more tools were available on the RHEL distribution.
Of all the laptops I've had, and PC laptops vastly the outnumber Macs, I've only had one fail catastrophically. And that is my 2011 Macbook Pro, which failed right after its AppleCare expired. It had already had its logic board replaced once under AppleCare.

Thousands of 2011 Macbook Pro owners had the same, now infamaous, problem, and Apple pretty much pretended the problem did not exist (until after my AppleCare expired and forced me to buy another laptop, which was not a Mac).

I recently bought a house, built in 1964 needs some maintenance but generally okay. Has a heat pump. The idea of buying land a little way out of town and constructing my own dwelling using reclaimed materials crossed my mind a lot.

We're at 41 degrees south, old mate in the article I linked is a bit closer to the bottom of the mountains, so probably cops a bit more of the cold air drifting down the snow caps. When it's been -4 degrees every morning for a week in the middle of winter going to work with cold steel is finger-snapping. I wonder how they make it through the winters. Probably crawl up inside their refrigerator where it's warmer.

* ambition can only be expressed in a narrow set of avenues

* questioning the way of things is futile

There isn't any person behind the screen orchestrating things, simply each individual doing the "best" they can, and boy, that is a chilling world. Not scary in the sense of horror, just chilling because of the dread it fills me with. I won't say any more lest I give away the ending.

Well, the attacks right now aim at only one infrastructure provider. If all their customers had a randomly picked second provider set up as well the attackers would have to attack those providers as well. Although it would be interesting to see what scale the current attacks have compared to the theoretically possible, and how well the wider DNS system could cope.

This isn't just for technical people. IBM has been talking about this for a while and giving updates as the deployment proceeds. Machines are cheap enough that TCO is dominated by other factors so even a 50% reduction in support requests can save more money than the cost of the machine.
