Apple Big Macbook Event
Anyone who tells you they're "encrypting" email addresses in their SaaS app is almost certainly describing a cosmetic security feature.

Every day of the week and four times and Tuesday I'd prefer the team that spends their marginal dollar on finding the next marginal reflected XSS bug than the one that wastes it on "two-way encryption of email addresses".

I don't know what Weebly does for appsec (I've never worked with them and probably never will), but if they've spent even $50 on external appsec testing, they're 1000% better than 90% of rest of the applications we all use every day.
Not surprised. Anecdotal, but I have a 2010 MacBook Pro and still use it daily for development. Battery report still shows it as "healthy" w/ 600 cycles, and upgrading to an SSD increased it's (useful) lifetime by a lot, too. Nowadays I see it was good ROI (and Apple products are particularly expensive here in Brazil).

It seems it could last the decade, but I'll likely upgrade before that for better battery life.

One could hope ...
Sorry, yes, that was crass, and i apologize. I can't edit it, sadly, anymore.

I meant it really in the sense that: You have given no reason this couldn't have been done in a fashion that provided the barest minimum of notice or information. Doing so when you can do so is the right thing, and if someone else is not doing that, that does not mean you should duplicate that process.

As far as i know, nobody has claimed otherwise, here or there.

In fact, there are a number of factual inaccuracies that seem to have been driving parts of this decision (IE "google has stopped supporting angular 1") that a trivial notice and discussion process probably would have corrected.

Past that nothing in this discussion has pointed to anything so urgent (especially given the 6+ month time period involved between the original presentation and any notice at all it was banned, and then another 6 months till now) that it required immediate action at the point they did it.
If there was something, again, someone could have, at the very least, said that ("Hey, we discovered a problem, we're going to take immediate action, this may hurt. Sorry").

TL;DR I'm a fan of Ready, aim, fire, not fire, ready, aim.
If it can't be done that way, fine, but no data says that this was the case here.
It's not about "showing off." It's about whether the structures are inviting or alienating. It's about whether they contribute to the aesthetic of the neighborhood. It's about whether their exteriors sacrifice form for a cheap veneer of ostentation. The elements of McMansions are borrowed, ineptly, from better classes of buildings and then mangled and jumbled together.

They make a vague visual promise of quality, and their intent is to be sold. Buildings should, instead, function inside and out to support the life and activities of their residents and those residents neighbors and visitors. The visual function of architecture is not decoration; Architecture uses a visual language that conveys the uses of structures to the community at large, as well as the residents (in a home) or patrons (in a business or public space), so that society can function.

And, to say that these homes are not bought to be looked at nor shown off is incredibly naive. The point of them is aesthetics, and that's part and parcel of why they're such travesties. It's why they are degenerate. They're the kind of thing that can only pass to someone who is uprooted from their own culture and history, cannot even rely on even a folk understanding as a guide to what works or does not work architecturally. These are degenerate homes, sold to the degenerate mass of déclassé and rootless consumers.
I don't think you're wrong, but I predict that this will be a complete non-problem: by the time people's skills have atrophied significantly, self-driving car technology will have improved to the point where it won't matter anymore.
this is a really good comment. i was going to refer to the 10s as literal 'dream houses', in that they remind me of the places i'd wander through in my dreams, especially when i was younger: nonsensical, sometimes phantasmagorical amalgams of the homes of friends, hotels, historical buildings, and any number of other places i was dragged as a kid.
That's an interesting idea. I wonder if the audio compression codec wouldn't obliterate it, though. Typically, they are supposed to be designed for human speech-level audio.

Regardless, there is nothing within the WebRTC spec for dealing with failed connections. I suppose you could close the WebRTCPeerConnection object, drop it on the floor for the GC to find, and make a new one. But the entire point of providing a list of STUN servers is that it's supposed to find the one that works for you.

I also just found out that, even though Tokbox (the 3rd party framework I'm using for WebRTC now that I've admitted I have more important things to do than screw around with this) is communicating a P2P video or audio connection, it cannot also let you negotiate a P2P data channel.
I fail to understand the lure of "owning" things. I don't own my cars. I don't own my music. I don't own my phone. I don't own my apartment and I probably won't own my house when I'm ready to make that move.

But my cars take me wherever I want to go, my music makes me feel good, my phone helps me in a multitude of ways and my apartment is great and, hopefully, my house will be too. They get the job done.

Is there a risk that the owning party (who sometimes don't even own the stuff they're selling!) can take everything away? Of course. But it's rare enough for me to not worry about. If I can't make my car payments, I've got bigger problems.
Is this like IPFS, without the need of off-browser IPFS daemon?
Game consoles don't ship with TV remotes, and the remotes that you can buy are overly complicated affairs.

The WAF of using a controller to control video playback is low. We have a Roku 3 and it's far simpler to use than our 360 or PS4. Plus it's never "off". Side benefit is that I can remote play the PS4 when someone is using the Roku ;-).

The Switch could plausibly fill this gap, but I guarantee that those little controller thingies are going to get lost.
I am not sure how much "smarter" this is than a camera taped on a phone [0].

If the DSP chip itself were programmable from the phone then one could do all sorts of tricks just by downloading new "firmware" over the air.

I doubt that is the case here though. It looks like this saves me from copying files to share then on Instagram and that's about it.

Someone please make a camera that costs the same as a high-end smart phone, but the DSP chip is open and documented. Why is that not a thing?

"Like several times slower that executables compiled normally. "

That's usually true if it's a naive scheme for safety. The main benefit of clever ones like Softbound+CETS or SAFEcode is they try to optimize away a lot of that. The first, SAFEcode paper reported worst-case of 30% overhead in their tests. SVA-OS overhead was mostly well under 2x with a few cases that did 2-4x. I can't remember what the S+C was. Remember that these also knock out almost every root cause of code injections in C apps with SVA-OS covering whole Linux kernel. Might be worth buying a second CPU to cover the overheads. ;)

"The TOR project tried to build firefox using them, but they couldn't successfully build it"

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for telling me. Shows some work needs to be done. Would've been nice if they were more specific than "they didn't work." I was holding off on applying them to Tor anyway since such services must do covert-channel analyses. I'm not sure what effect these techs have on that. I recommended redoing it in SPARK Ada with Kemmerer's method for covert channel analysis.

"And I think SaferCPlusPlus is now a more practical "some code modification required" solution than previous alternatives."

I disagree. The reason is that there's way more tooling for statically analyzing, verifying, certifying object code of, and so on for C programs. Very little for C++ in comparison. So, taking up C++ gives you the few measures of safety it provides while forgoing tech you can get in C such as Astree Analyzer or CompCert. Too much a sacrifice. People stuck in legacy codebases might want to apply or improve on Ironclad, though.

While technically true, Wikileaks hasn't lied yet in their history.
i was trying to make the point that a local government in the US could not restrict the freedom of movement the way that collection of people are doing in that region of Mexico. it would end up in court and be forced to cease such restrictions on travel. only the federal government could do a thing like that, and even it might face lawsuits for such a restriction.

my comment got a lot of down votes, but i feel like either i'm missing something or the people who voted it down are missing something.

yes, the federal government restricts movement. yes, there are DUI spot checks in cities from time to time. yes there is even racial profiling by local police forces (which is not constitutional). but all of those things differ from an all-encompassing restriction on the freedom to travel into a region by mandatory choke points on roads into that region.

but people reacted quite strongly. what on earth am i missing here?

>However that's hard to do when the vast majority of kernel bugs come from vendor drivers, not the upstream Linux kernel, Stoep said.

Doesn't this actually validate Andrew Tannenbaum's argument[1] over 25 years ago when he said monolithic operating systems are inherently insecure and a rethink is required.

That rental agreement you seek is called a lease, and you can certainly do that with the Tesla if it's new. You only pay the car's depreciation, not its total value

Leases are great for us that buy used since we get to have awesome cars at tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than new
I can see why Blockchain Books may include one or two Amazon links (though not everything being a link to Amazon), but why is literally every so-called "resource" under Bitcoin and Ethereum and Smart Contracts also simply a link to Amazon?

A quick Google brings up results like:

https://souptacular.gitbooks.io/ethereum-tutorials-and-tips-...

What makes your list of Amazon links better than everything on that page? Have you even read and/or reviewed all of the books you're linking to? If not, why are you recommending them to other people?

Why is your list of Amazon links under "Bitcoin" better than something like this (found in a half second Google):

https://github.com/solocshaw/Bitcoin-Resource-List

Which somehow manages to contain zero Amazon links, even under Books, which links to the free Github hosted version of Andreas Antonopoulos' Mastering Bitcoin: Unlocking Digital Cryptocurrencies, unlike your list which, like most of the other "resources" you list, simply links to Amazon.
I think it would hammer home to politicians the power of this technology. Especially if you leveraged technologies like tor and bit-torrent to do the tracking, so that legislation couldn't just shut it down.

Whether we like it or not, privacy is disappearing for citizens. And it's a one way street. If we want our legal system to evolve in a way that accommodates this intelligently, our lawmakers need to be feeling the full impact of the change.

Otherwise we will end up in a place where there's a class of people with no privacy at all, and a class of people who do the surveillance.

>Something very bad happened in architecture around world war 2.

That's a very nice looking house, but the reason it's very nice is it has a lot of low-materials high-labor details people don't want to pay for when they're not doing the work.

It does seem like wood is awfully expensive these days, though.
I agree, actually - we have every solved problem, solved 3 or 4 times (to varying degrees of quality), with zero interoperability and no vision. It's fun, yeah, but it actually makes sense to pay for a 10k tool if it does what OrCad, Altium or Mentor can do.

I figured the fastest way to solve it was to:
1) Get ridiculously rich
2) Donate 20 Million dollars to a foundation to build open source CAD tools of professional quality.

A Coasean solution to NIMBYism!

I think there's merit in this, but when you expand it to the bigger problem of the landed and the landless, you see how it fails to scale: a Coasean solution to landlessness is equivalent to a Coasean solution to slavery-- but slaves can't exactly afford to buy themselves out of their situation...

Macros 1.1 should make working with Diesel easier for the programmer, compared to the incompatible compiler plugin APIs.

I think the sweet spot with rust might leveraging metaprogramming, for instance, generating a REST database API from a schema and having the resulting code compile to something faster the most languages like python or ruby, and at least on par with Go, Java, or swift.
If by "phone" you mean "pocket computer with native apps and a slick UI," then I agree, Kodak will probably suck as a "phone."

Is the sensational headline necessary?
It was very close, something like 51:49. The predictions circulating before the vote may have influenced the result. Apparently more Remainers would have bothered to vote if the predictions had not been so clearly in favor of Remain. It's a tragedy, really, that something so important would be decided on so flippantly.

This, by the way, is another weakness (or limitation) of prediction markets. They should probably not be applied to matters where the prediction interacts with the "predictee" lest you enter a "Keynesian beauty contest".
In particular anybody who reclaims a shipping container has not done the math. It's an idea that sounds good or affordable but it takes a lot of money and expertise to make that work properly even if the container was free. It would make considerably more sense to acquire a large cardboard box.

Ask HN: Why is everything in JavaScript changing so fast?
Change and variety of options is a good thing, but in js the rate of change in methodologies, frameworks, libraries is so much high. For example angular 2 is not compatible with angular 1, so before you even learn a framework its API is different and when you finally learn it, probably is considered outdated.
Why is this happening especially in js?
Rust people may have better insight into this, but it seems like that site is outdated and in need of an update.

Now that is an article I would want to read!
"One of the biggest beefs I have with Europeans who take issue at NSA spying on the EU is the misconception they have that their own spy agencies aren't doing the same thing to everyone else: us, Russia, China, and other states in the EU."

Same thing I kept telling them on Schneier's blog, etc. They sure aren't building those spy buildings as art projects. The worst part is that info on whose involved in spying agreements, even whose in "no-spy" agreements, is so public we have much of it in one Wikipedia article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes

Then there's the espionage documents talking all the cases where foreign countries were spying on us. Then there's the Snowden files showing that basically every European country was partnered with NSA spying on who knows who (probably Europeans) with exceptions being Iceland, Switzerland, and maybe one other country (don't recall).

A teacher of mine used to say that people often point a finger at others but are pointing at least three back at themselves as they do so. Europeans are doing it with both hands.
Not even on nightly? I know that we don't tend to mess with things unless they're behind unstable feature flags (which you presumably aren't using), but I'd be very pleasantly surprised if we managed to make nightly stable enough that you never happened to run into any compiler bugs. :)
Running Android would provide competition at the bottom end of the game spectrum. I could see them having a [virtualised] Android that was not openly Android so they can run Facebook and such without giving people access to put Android games on the thing.
Well sure; they're using a Microsoft stack to do the job!

You can manage and provision thousands of Windows machines with a configuration management tool like Puppet or Chef, though you'll spend more on the engineers needed to dole that out. This is what Google does to provision all of their machines (Windows, Mac and Linux) and it's working out well for them.

SCCM and InTune get VERY expensive at scale and the clients don't work well on anything other than Windows. (You can deploy to Macs with it, but I've heard that it's choppy.)

Then there's the whole issue with their fleet. I'm curious to see what their numbers would be like if they got Surface Pros for everyone instead of a mish-mash of Dells, HPs and Toshibas. The build quality on the Surface is at par with the Mac and Microsoft definitely have great support options to back them with.

What I'm basically saying is that they're comparing a likely-outdated deployment infrastructure and crappier machines (Windows) with a more modern stack and better hardware (Mac), so of course they're going to conclude that Macs are cheaper.
I guess the question then is why you're looking at failed Auth logs. Failed auths are boring, doubly so on a key only server. Successful auths are where the fun is at.
Given the hand turned moldings in virgin old growth hardwoods and endangered tropical softwoods, you couldn't match the quality of the original materials today at any price. Near substitutes would ring you well into seven figures.

But you can get many better materials, also. Wallboard is better than plaster. Steel framing in essential members is better than the best wood. Vapor barrier, waterproofing, insulated windows.

Things have changed. A direct comparison is hard. Changes in land use regulation are going to cost you a lot more than material changes.
The way content delivery via HTTP works isn't very scalable. The fact that companies like akamai and cloudflare exist are a testament to this.
> Why don't we see $150k new builds with this level of fractal detail and material quality then? Or at $500k?

I think you're hugely underestimating the impact of labour, land/permits, and house size. People with $500k to spend on a house don't want a 1250 foot 1 bathroom house in an undesirable neighborhood, no matter how much "fractal detail" it may have, but if they did they could build one.

Like...it's not rocket science. The materials are all things which are still being made, and they're not appreciably more expensive now than in 1921. It's not some lost secret of the ancients. It's just not something people do, because it's a moderately expensive way to get a fairly crappy house unless you have pretty unique tastes.

But you totally can do it. That's why places like this exist: https://www.thehousedesigners.com

Yeah polyfills might not do the right thing. Natively, both exceptions and rejections stop the next thing from happening, give you a trace in the console, then everything continues at the next tick of the event loop. If a polyfill skips the trace part, that's definitely bad.
