Youtube really has terrible discretion here. The optics of banning a cancer patient's channel and sole source of income are not great...

"It's going to take three months to get the strike removed from my channel... I got my live stream taken away," he said in a video.
"If I submit a counter-notification to say 'sue me', I wonder what they will do. Will they sue me, the kid that has cancer and just makes money off YouTube playing a video game?"
"It really sucks, because I really worked hard on this channel."

ProtonMail lost any cred when they paid to have some perps stop DDOsing them. Have their engineers or their Web host never heard of blackhole routing? Smart router engineers know about the concept of blackhole routing offensive traffic. It takes a couple of minutes and it works wonders.
You shouldn't be downvoted, but I do believe you misread the intent. Avenger42 was responding to a post which did not mention "chargeback", so it wouldn't make much sense to interpret it as, "What is a chargeback?". Rather, "Why don't you use a chargeback?" would seem to be a better interpretation.
On iOS, I've been adopting a policy of refusing the request for permission to send me notifications, unless I can think of a good reason I'd want to see them. I can always change my mind later and approve it if I need to, after all.
Do you have more details on JS in microcontrollers? I'm curious about real-time systems, etc.

I found the Tessel (https://tessel.io/), but its hardly a microcontroller - its a MIPS SoC.

It looks like the Espurino is more of a traditional microcontroller. But the unit cost is high - $40!

Is anyone using JS on a microcontroller in a high volume product?
...the whole Sails thing is currently a hot mess. At least one core contributor has bailed and moved on to Trails.js. Accusations of incompetence, malfeasance, character assassination, etc., abound.

As far as I know (GitHub is down, cannot confirm) Sails is still running Express 3 (the maintainers are supposedly upgrading to 5), has a variety of other major issues with respect to its ORM, Waterline, and is a bit lacking on the "contemporary best practices" front. Long story short, it's broadly (perhaps unfairly, perhaps not) considered dead or dying.

There aren't any viable Rails alternatives for Node. (Flask, Sinatra, on the other hand? — sure. You'll have no trouble finding a good micro-framework.)

ThinkJS, Adonis and Strapi are the only entries I've seen in the Rails/Laravel/Django space, but they all have problems too -- to wit, ThinkJS recommended hashing passwords with MD5 (!!!) on their front page until quite recently, Adonis is aggressively NIH, and Strapi uses Waterline, which is (by many accounts) bad at just about everything.

There's also Nodal, which I've heard good things about, but it's limited to APIs with Postgres.

Heroku was/is down. Apparently they missed the memo where a service provider like them is supposed to handle things like this for us and not keep all their eggs in one basket.

What cloud provider of PaaS uses a single company for their DNS? Pitiful.
You can be, but people are also naturally social. If you're not, you're going to be lonely or an anomaly (and yes, introverts are still social just tend to be with smaller groups).

Since people are naturally social, the people around them are inevitably going to affect their state of mind - especially if we have a desire to be around them.
In React the idea that the state controls the app and as long as you maintain control of your state your app becomes nearly deterministic is powerful.

In this way Vue or more specifically two-way data binding struck me as a step back.

Or am I misrepresenting Vue?
I think you're mistaken: it's Google/YouTube that has placed several of the excellent Prager University videos under restricted mode. Not Facebook.

I'm not aware of Facebook suppressing the Prager University videos.

And in the YouTube case, it's likely an automated response to (mis)flagging by users who politically differ.
Maybe this has nothing to do with DMCA and more to do with Samsung spending millions of dollars in advertising on Youtube (speculation). If one of your major sponsors threatens to pull back advertising dollars, that supports your platform, maybe you bow to their requests. Maybe.
Is authenticity provided by third parties really "grafted onto" HTTPS? As far as I can tell, that was part of SSL from day one.
I have worked mainly on OSX for my career, and recently had to switch to Windows for VR work. I started on Windows 7 and absolutely hated it. I hated the visual style of it, the awful UX of it, and just found it to be painful all-the-way-around. Sitting down at my desk in the morning, I'd almost always utter a small sigh of frustration just logging in.

When we finally got cleared by IT to go ahead with Windows 10 I was cautiously optimistic but after using it for a few months I was totally bought in. I will/would never go back to any pre-10 release.

I'm back on OSX now (new job) and still miss Windows 10 most days. I'm going to be building a personal machine soon, and unless the new MacBook Pro's can astound me it'll be a Windows 10 rig – no question.
It is spreading to other DNS providers, too:

For me Season 1 was perfection, Season 2 was close to perfection but a little rushed towards the end, and then I wished that they have developed a Season 3 (with a red/blue schema)

Don't you wish you found out what happened with W.W?

The characters were terrific, especially J.H.

The storyline was the very best. There was so much world left to explore and and I wish we'd seen a Utopia derivative/side story from David Fincher's version of it. I think it would have been a perfect fit for the director of Fight Club and still a tall ask for him to live up to.

Like the author of that imdb review I felt it was very real for some reason despite the decor.
Sure! We ordered these phones. If they're really awful I might buy some Nokia phones, but they're more expensive. We wanted talk, text, and MMS (just in case), but that's it.

Also, I disabled bundling right away after I started using Inbox. The bundling is useful sometimes but I thought it more pain than it's worth. Perhaps that's why more people don't use Inbox.
Flanders [1] not Flandern. But you're quite right about the rest. Belgium is indeed a mess. I moved there from the UK 6 years ago expecting to find a country benefitting from a more open minded dual-language socialist life style. But instead its just nothing more than petty in-fighting. The Flemish speak better English than they do French. The two countries would love to split up but they both want Brussels which is in the Flemish half but mostly French speaking.

> The worldview of the show is essentially the exact counter to the tech/entrepreneurship community's unique strain of optimism

I think it's the inevitable outcome of tech/entrepreneurship's naivety. Facebook and Google both came from this "unique strain of optimism" and they've come to represent much of what Black Mirror discusses.
Confidence and practice are huge factors. For the latter I can't recommend leetcode enough, it has problems exactly (like those) from interviews, and a lot of them. For confidence I recommend interviewing first at companies you're not particularly interested in. Try to time your interviews in such a way that you have your 2nd-choice interviews 1-2 weeks before your 1st-choice ones. Eventually having an offer helps you in the negotiation part.

It fascinates me - White Bear seems to be the most divisive Black Mirror episode out there. For me it's one of the weakest episodes of the series, but I know others who love it.

Personally, the Entire History of You is the pinnacle of Black Mirror.
Didn't Flickr do something like this? (Once upon a time, before it was re-re-re-re-designed into oblivion)
The rogue ISPs thought they were helping people by serving stale data. After all, better something past its use-by date than failing, right? A low tolerance for DNS response times, and suddenly large chunks of the internet are failing a lot...

Among other problems, this enables attacks. Leak a route, DDoS a DNS provider, and watch as traffic everywhere goes to an attack server because servers everywhere "protect" people by serving known-stale data rather than failing safe.

Be very, very careful when trying to be "safer". It can unintentionally lead somewhere very different.

It's about reaction of the staff to key leak:

This reaction seems just silly.
Turns out Murray finally called the reporter a few hours after this article was published:

I agree. I've read a lot about gut bacteria and there's nothing new here. I'm sure some haven't seen it before, so posting it is fine, but it did get my hopes up that something new was discovered or something.
I've owned an Aeron, Steelcase Leap (v2), and the Embody. All for multiple years. I prefer the Embody. I can sit comfortably in it the longest without any complaints. I think it's almost the perfect chair.

The Aeron I found extremely uncomfortable, I could never get settled in it. I don't know why, but it felt just wrong (I had the correct size and it was fully loaded with all the configuration options and posture fit). I loved the Leap and only got the Embody because I bought all new office equipment and after sitting in the Embody a while I fell in love with it. Only recently (finally) got rid of the Leap and Aeron.

I can't give any reasons other than it feels the most comfortable and I can easily sit in it longer without issues.
Not surprised, they seem like a shady outfit.
If you look at the full reports, it's readily apparent that IBM isn't comparing an expensive Mac to an el-cheapo PC.
That may be true, but for large companies they changed the business model where large account resellers would bid under cost to sell EAs, etc.

They effectively raised the cost significantly for perpetual licensing/SA to push you into services agreements. Simultaneously, you get favorable terms (ie. anything other than MSRP) only if you commit long-term. Upon renewal they try to make you give up your right to transition back to perpetual licensing for Office.

So my bet is this is bullshit, shifting office dollars to O365, which include plans where you're just renting Excel.
I think there's a market opportunity for a small, sturdy fireproof box that could prevent an exploding or spontaneously igniting smartphone from injuring someone or igniting objects nearby. And bonus points if the phone could still receive calls/texts and be charged while inside it.
Hrm. Okay, that's valid. Can't bring myself to agree with facebook wholesale removing content like this, but one size does not fit all so I'll give you that concession.

cross-post:

If you're having issues with people accessing your running Heroku apps, it's likely because you're running your DNS through herokussl.com (with their SSL endpoint product) which is hosted on Dyn.

If you can update your DNS to CNAME directly to the ELB behind it, it should at least make your site accessible.
That's not actually libertarianism; it's crypto-fascism. There is no distinction between a totalitarian government and a perfectly "libertarian" company which owns all land and property, so true libertarians must be concerned with how power is actually distributed.

Tech giants have scale and effects on par with government, especially as these "independent" companies tend to make decisions in lock step. Thus libertarians should be primarily concerned with the rights of the distributed actors within these ecosystems.

Good point, but we know specifically which emails are genuine, and which may or may not be. Any particular email that isn't signed is questionable, but we can say for any given email whether or not it might be a fake.
The first ever episode of Black Mirror is actually kind of weak. It gets a lot better from episode two onwards. From just one initial thought, I found Entire History of You to be an utterly fascinating exploration of the implications of immediate recall of any event in your life - how it affects our jobs, relationships and even sex. That Be Right Back explored both mourning, and also the personas we present on social media vs our real selves.

But to each their own, I guess. If you consider it trite then you consider it trite - I'd consider it to be your loss!
Yeah, that's a tough one since you're dealing with a culture issue and not a technical problem.

The only thing I've seen effective is prototyping a feature 2x and then taking the 2nd/3rd iteration. Finding time for that in a normal schedule is pretty hard though.

Another approach if you have the option is to build the feature as rapidly as possible(within reason here obviously) and deliver it out of band. It doesn't win you an immediate friends(and may even burn a few bridges) however if you can pull it off 2-3x then you can build a reputation of getting things done. This has the potential to backfire pretty significantly though if you can't get the rest of the dev team onboard so I would be very careful about employing it.
Why? What if some of them are spying for foreign power or prepare sabotage or are paid up by foreign powers to incite political unrest or, God forbid, political change that might end up in unilateral nuclear disarmament that might end up with destruction of usa with nuclear weapons?

The fact is you can imagine scary enough scenario to justify one thing but can't imagine other scenario to justify another. Thing is ultimately you need to act on some principle and current principle in USA is, us citizens have right to privacy, other people have no right to privacy.

This is silly rule because it creates places like current NSA. If it wasn't ok to spy on foreign citizens there'd be no NSA and if it was ok to spy everybody then NSA would have way more oversight.
Thanks for the reply.

> If you have a service `log.io` with it's own DNS servers ( running named or djbdns ). And one day you decide to shut them down and rename the service to `loggy.io`.
> What will happen is that any DNS trying to query the `log.io` DNS will reach unreachable server, which will lead to serving the last-known IP from the proposed DNS Cache on your machine.

To reiterate the scenario you've put forth as I understand it: I'm a service operator and I've just renamed my company and procured a new domain. I've retired the old domain and expect to fulfill no more traffic sent to that domain. When a customer of my service attempts to resolve my old domain, their caching DNS resolver may return an IP address even though I have since shut down the authoritative DNS servers for the retired domain. They will make an HTTPS request to my servers (or potentially someone else's, if I also gave up my IP addresses), and fail the request because the certificate will be a mismatch.

The customer's application will see a failed request either by (a) DNS failing to resolve or (b) HTTPS failing to negotiate. Either way, my customer needs to fix their integration to point to my new domain.

To be clear, it is up to my customer to decide whether they want their caching DNS resolver to provide a last-known-good resolution in the event that authoritative servers are unreachable. If they prefer failure type (a) over (b), they would configure their DNS resolver to not provide last-known-good resolutions.
It's only anecdotal, ofcourse, but I used to own Windows machines and as a result so did all my relatives with me being the "tech guy" in the family. Not a week would pass without me fixing a relative's PC. Now, about 7 years later, everyone in my family including myself has switched to Macs and I can't even remember the last time I was called to fix a machine.
I thought White Bear was going to be a mediocre episode until the end. Just watch it if you haven't seen it. It's unfortunate you can only watch it for the first time once.

But every episode is nearly perfect. 15 million merits is probably my favorite, but White Christmas is incredible too.

What features are missing from the language? How long has it been since you've built an application in ColdFusion? It's certainly not very popular, but I haven't seen anything in say PHP or Rails that I couldn't do in CFML, and it has some neat features that set it apart (for example, built in SQL engine to query an in-memory recordset)
No.

I think I understand why you are not following what I am saying.

You prove that the certificate came from comodo, and only comodo. It can't have come from anyone else.
This isnt trust -- its public key crypto. Only the issuer could sign it. If you trust it or not, its irrelevant, only that it could only have possibly originated from there.

If you believe that the public key is truly owned by the subject because the issuer said so -- this is trust.

I heard them saying that before the crash though, so it's not just trying to downplay the failure. From what I understand Schiaparelli could only do a relatively small amount of experiments and only for a handful of days before the battery ran out.

Still, even if it's "just" a test run it means they need to correct their copy by 2020. I hope they'll be able to figure out what went wrong and why.

You'll want to look for front end libraries that have XSS mitigations built in. For cookies, at the most basic level, use an unguessable (secure random) value (more advanced is signing cookies, which some frameworks do so they can not be tampered with). Use CSRF tokens. Have a good content security policy. For backend / db, use prepared statements or object model frameworks.

What it boils down to, never trust user input, never include user input in anything that resembles code before sanitization, validation, white listing, etc.
thanks. very interesting project. they also have their own kernel and all
I'll be honest, I wrote all this out and read it to my wife before posting, and we both laughed at how crazy it sounds. It's the aggregate of lots of little decisions in the past year and we're not solid on any of it yet. We'll be using tech for a lot of things still, we'll have a server with our personal images, and I'm looking at some Arduino stuff for home automation things. I don't think tech is bad, just a lot of it is designed as a feedback loop of addiction.
