The best we can get out of direct attacks on IoT are new "security products that protect your IoT devices" in a reactive manner. Windows antivirus all over again.
Yeap, you're right, I misread. Here is a quote from the paper: "15% of these exploits were created before the disclosure of the corresponding vulnerability." So there's a lower bound.

Oh. Then writing code and writing documentation. And using (using! not just reading!) others' code and docs.
> The major botnet of 2016 is simpler than the botnet of 1988. There’s something wrong in how we do security, and at Appcanary, we think it’s a complete lack of focus on the basics.

Or a complete focus on making money. Capitalism has refined itself over 30 years, and firms realize that security is expensive, making products is a lot cheaper than it used to be, and even if you invested in security, there could still be something unforeseen that compromises your system.

Nobody wants to be Sony or Microsoft and their litany of security woes.
Does a death sentence make us a better society for justice? I don't have an answer to that question. However, it is a question I prefer to not have experimented on in our justice system.

I recently watched the documentary 13th from Netflix. It really puts into perspective our pro-incarnation justice system. While capital punishment and death row is a section of our justice system, it has the highest stakes in outlining where our ethical limits reside as a society.

> This problem of tracking changes around which boxes are available is called service discovery. We use a tool called Consul from HashiCorp to do service discovery.

Nope, that's called health checks, and that's a job for load balancers :p
Your argument seems to contradict itself. The death penalty is necessary for justice, but at the same time we should be OK with having it because it hasn't been used in a decade?
MiNODES (http://www.minodes.com/) | Berlin, Germany (ONSITE) | full-time | Software Engineers / Developers, Business Intelligence, Data Analytics, Tableau | VISA OK

Minodes is a startup in the retail analytics space. Based in the heart of Berlin near Checkpoint Charlie and backed by well-known investors, we provide (offline) retailers innovative solutions to understand their business better and enhance their customers’ in-store experience.

Our tech stack consists of Python for the data processing, Ruby on Rails for applications on top of that, and Cassandra and Postgres for data storage. We are also working on our first own mobile SDKs. We offer a great opportunity for personal and professional growth in a multicultural environment. We work, learn and develop while having lots of fun on the way. The usual perks (drinks, breakfast, awesome office, …) are included. We’re also happy to help with visa and relocation where necessary.

We are looking for a wide range of people to join our team, including:

Developers (Python, Rails, OpenWRT and others): https://minodes-jobs.personio.de/job/6481

I'm assuming you're on Debian or Ubuntu. You can set up automatic security updates on Apt, and if you have a firewall you're halfway there. Then I would make sure each website has its own user, group, and www-user and using file permissions, make it so each virtualhost doesn't have access to others' files.

If you wanna be extra safe you can have each site on its own vps. Although what's nice about keeping a bunch on 1 big vps is that you get to save a lot of time managing it as it can take a while to propagate changes across many VPS and if they all have different setups it can get confusing.

To do 1 site per vps properly, you should have fleet management going like Ansible or Puppet so that you can maintain them all easily. That way all the code is hosted on a build server, and individual environments get built for each site.
Finra | Research Analyst | New York City, NY | www.finra.org

We are looking for a creative thinker to join our newly established advanced analytics team, which is rapidly growing and highly visible across business units.

I found the general feature set to be similar, but Pocket has pretty decent article discovery/curation. I now use Pocket exclusively.

The only downside is that a decent chunk of their content (~5%) is from Business Insider, and there is no way to mute/hide a source (News Republic offers this). But they've got plenty of good sources (NYT, New Yorker), and a pretty good recommendation algorithm.

Sector Labs | Full-time | ONSITE | Cluj-Napoca, Romania | https://sectorlabs.ro/jobs

We're a small company with a nice office in the city center of Cluj-Napoca. We operate some of the biggest real-estate web portals in four countries in Asia. That might sound boring, but we deal with high traffic on multiple sites in different countries. We hire for programming skills not technology.

We're looking for people who enjoy programming and are not caught up in ideological wars about technology. Someone who is pragmatic enough to realise that life is too short not to use the right tool for the job. At the moment we're using a Python centric stack. But, tomorrow? Who knows?

We offer:

- The best and hoping to get the same in return: we chose a location in the heart of the city so you can have access to a bunch of good restaurants, we let you chose your hardware to work on, we buy top-of-the-line chairs from Herman Miller and Steelcase (your choice) and standing desks and will keep on trying to make the workplace better than our homes.

- Autonomy: you will choose the tools you want to use and get to make all the technical decisions as long as they make sense (that's for our architect to decide)

- Mastery: we will encourage and support you to learn as long as it takes so you can feel proud about your work (the nice side effect of this is having awesome products built by you)

No one is served well by this disclosure except
for two parties...

You missed one: the general public benefits from these disclosures.

Even though this gives an information advantage to an attacker (e.g., aforesaid "unprivy" malware authors), as a member of the general public, I would rather know that I'm vulnerable to some attack. I might change my behavior to limit my exposure. I may take additional precautions that would otherwise be too costly were it not for the additional risk. I might choose to accept the risk and continue working normally. My point is that by not disclosing, the security researcher makes my risk management choices for me, and I am not convinced they have my best interests at heart.

Likewise, public disclosure makes it possible for the customers of a software vendor to pressure them into addressing the vulnerability in a more timely fashion. Otherwise, these companies will not take security issues seriously. I have seen that pattern repeat over and over and over. The only way to get vendors to change is to name and shame, hit 'em in their wallet and hit them hard. Microsoft does SDLC now because of full disclosure, not in spite of it.
yeah, but it's best not to buy a car that connects to any type of network for any purpose.
Pocket lacks the very useful send-to-kindle feature in Instapaper. Instapaper frequently fails to send images properly in their kindle digests, but it's still better than nothing (the key feature IMO). On the other hand, the Instapaper iOS app has some kind of problem with syncing, taking an inordinate amount of time to download a few articles (with the potential to ding you with substantial data costs if you open the app at the wrong time).

On the Lenovo site. I found a coupon for 30% just googling around. Unfortunately, I believe it ended 10/30. However, Lenovo often has sales/promotions, esp around the holidays. So I'm sure there will be more sales soon. Another trick is to just get the HDD option and buy an ssd off Amazon.
Crap. Oh well. We're violating an RFC. What's the IETF going to do about it?

While the Zenbook looks great and has great hardware specs, I can't rightfully recommend it to anyone. A list of complaints:

-Loud fan. With all of its (considerable) horsepower, it can get quite hot. Even when simply booting up or writing a document in Word, the fan is on almost constantly and very audible.

-Keyboard quality. The coating on the keyboard has already started peeling off after 1.5 years of mild use.

-Big and heavy power brick that gets extremely hot.

-Random buggy hardware issues. The webcam stopped working after updating Windows, and I haven't been able to get it working since. The trackpad is HORRIBLE and buggy. Maybe it's because Apple's trackpad has spoiled me, but going from apple's trackpad to Asus' was probably the single most frustrating thing. It's terribly inaccurate, doesn't understand multi-gestures, and worst of all, there's this weird cursor jitter when you touch the trackpad without being electrically grounded. I'm serious. If I want to accurately place my cursor over something, I have to be touching the laptop's aluminum chassis or else the cursor starts spasming.

The overall build quality just cannot be compared to Apple's. Even the mini Sub Woofer my Zenbook came with started working intermittently and I discovered that the port it connected to came loose for no apparent reason. The same thing happened to one of the USB ports.

Oh, and this was all after going throught he trouble of RMA'ing the first one for harddrive failure.

For a higher end, premium priced laptop I really expected better.

It's a tricky issue, and gas tax probably won't be enough going forward.

The EV fee is a bit disproportionate because of the limited range and fewer average miles driven, but there's no easy fix.
To be more precise, CBS is to blame for this.
Precisely. To put it crudely, Charles Manson can be killed later, but innocents can't be un-killed.

Not surprising given the nature of both HN and the valley. It's weird watching this site justify ostracizing/harassing people with different politics than them. Conformity of thought is highly valued within the tech community in the bay.
appleseed is a modern, open source, physically-based rendering engine designed to produce photorealistic images, animations and visual effects. It's been used on TV documentaries and commercials, and it's been integrated in various packages, among them Autodesk 3ds Max [1] and Image Engine's Gaffer [2]. We've also made a short film with it, "Fetch": https://vimeo.com/92172277

This month we're planning on starting the volume rendering subsystem (https://github.com/appleseedhq/appleseed/projects/1) and, if time allows, investigate switching to Intel's Embree ray tracing kernels [3].

The code is written in C++ and we have a Python 2/3 API. There is work for everyone: pure rendering (a good understanding of rendering concepts and related maths will help), user interface (Qt), samples (Python), system programming, hardcore optimization...

It all seems rather technical, but don't be afraid, we're a small but welcoming community and everyone's happy to help!

You know what I've just re-read the article and I have to climb down on this. You're right, he really doesn't do a bad job of describing DNS - or at least he doesn't mis-describe it. Also he doesn't make it sound intrinsically sinister.

I'm not sure what gave me this impression on first reading - except perhaps the feeling that the word "lookup" seemed charged with an evidential meaningfulness that bothers me. Perhaps it was just the general feeling of vagueness hanging over what could be concluded from what he wrote.

But overall, you're right. I'm wrong on this. I'll blame a very bad hangover.

The neat thing about audio is that you can stream it in. Decompressing the most important sounds right at the beginning of the load screen for a scene or before the last one ends, and then streaming in the rest, would probably work well enough. (and sandbox games have idle zones and low-CPU times, so that's when you can do that.) Players don't expect much from load times anyway.

And, no, my time as someone who plays video games is much cheaper than today's SSD storage. I wondered a few days ago why my Windows disk was so full. Video games. Literally 50% of it was video games. If I could save a couple GB on that, I'd be willing to give up a couple more seconds on every level reload.
Thanks for the clarification. Out of interest, did you evaluate building a Lisp DSL? If so, any pros and cons you identified from that approach? I would've thought it would have been a quicker option to get going, though if you've reached version 1 you've put in the groundwork required now.

So what's the plan here. Just two months since Pinterest acquired them, they've shutdown Instaparser, moved their team across the country (literally: NY to SF.. I wonder how many employees quit instead), discontinued Premium--their sole source of revenue(?), and committed to no-ads... sounds like they have no monetization strategy at all anymore.

This doesn't look good.

No one asked for "conclusive evidence" - although, of course, it would be nice. But it's reasonable to ask for the sources that informed your view.
Yes, having experience in something you get paid for is great for the person that pays you. But do you suggest lying for it? Looks a little like it. And I don't think that will work.
Clever (YC S12) - San Francisco - onsite

Right now the market for educational software is a mess. It’s incredibly difficult for developers to get their products into schools, and it’s even harder for them to scale. School districts spend tons of money on learning applications, but they have no way of knowing if students are even using the apps they’re purchasing. Teachers know there’s great software out there, but relatively simple challenges like getting 30 students logged in at once make using it impossible.

At Clever, we’re working to change all that. We provide schools with a free API and single sign-on solution that makes using educational apps a breeze. We’ve grown fast: after four years, half of all schools in the US (65,000 schools) are using our platform. Our goals are much bigger than that, though. We want to be two things:

-a single place where schools can easily integrate, manage and analyze all the software they’re using, and

-a single identity that students can use to see everything they’ve learned across multiple apps.

We’re a team of 120 (40 engineers) based in downtown SF, and we’re looking for engineers who enjoy working in (or would enjoy learning) Go, Node and React. More generally, we want people who are sharp, adaptable, and passionate about improving the way education works for everyone. In particular, we’re looking for senior engineers and engineering managers: empathetic leaders who are excited about teaching, coaching and professional development.

Does hard sci-fi change over time though? I'm not sure but I would imagine that pocket-sized nuclear reactors for instance were at one time plausible, if the story was written when that was a case is it hard sci-fi? Or does it cease to be hard sci-fi as our understanding of the universe changes?
Not necessarily incompatible positions. It's perfectly possible you might want 16gb today but 32/64/etc. later down the line. In fact, based on apple's ram prices, this is the advisable approach, providing you can get a machine which actually CAN have the ram upgraded.
