It would probably be difficult to prove with certainty, but depending on what the passwords are, you could potentially be able to do something like that. For example, if there are enough accounts that have the same password (which is also relatively unique), then at some point it will be a statistical impossibility that they were all created by different people.
I did not describe all of NLP. A better description of NLP would be to say that it is a technique to model existing people that have a certain skill (like Milton H. Erickson), and then program other people enabling them to use the same skill. This is called in NLP "Modeling," and is actually a much better description of what the thing is about.

The Milton H. Erickson NLP Model is just one model out of many that NLP practitioners are talking about. But it is one of the more popular ones.
Patrick Rothfuss (Kingkiller Chronicle) mentioned a similar thing in writing, I think. He'll be stuck trying to describe something and he just can't get it "right", so he'll go for a walk or something and later his mind will come up with the perfect prose to insert at the part he was stuck on.

Unspoken deal? Obama literally said we "should look forward not backwards" to Bush's crimes as soon as he got elected. And now Trump may hire some of the same worst of the worst people that Bush hired, and went unpunished.

History may not repeat itself, but it does rhyme, especially when people refuse to condemn certain past actions and "move forward" as if nothing happened. And then get surprised that those same actions are done again.

This is one of the best articles I've read post-election. I do hope this time America actually does wake-up and look itself in the mirror. It's about time it did that.

I've also said before that Americans don't really get what mass surveillance is about, and are thus allowing it to happen and expand under their "favorite president" because they've never really had to suffer for it, as some eastern European countries have. Well, now, they may get that opportunity, and even some staunch surveillance defenders are getting freaked out about it. Good luck.

Idea being we just combine the right features, often standardized in libraries, with the most cost-effective of assurance activities proven to work. I gave a list of the latter to pick and choose from in another discussion:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10734477

Cleanroom methodology with safer languages with test-case generation, battle-tested libraries for common risk areas (esp web attacks or crypto), automation of parsing/protocol handling, static analysis to eliminate common issues, and basic code review would knock out vast majority of code-injections.

> don't believe such strategy can work. Screwing you customers is an extremely bad business practice, and it only works if your competition faces very high entry barriers or prohibited altogether.

1. Once they are big enough they can sell at loss or razor thin margins at the expense of employees(see Amazon) which in itself becomes a barrier to entrry. Most of the new small competition will die out during this phase of being discovered by customers or will face a constant cash flow crisis since incumbent can wait them out.

2. Do not underestimate the power of inertia. Let's take an example of Microsoft. For how many years IE was left to rot once they destroyed Mozilla?

Did Microsoft go out of business or fail in anyways? I guess no and don't forget it took another behemoth Google to fight the it out in the form of first supporting Mozilla and then coming up with their own browser.

This is an anecdote but it happened to me few months back. I ordered an Uber but when it didn't arrive in time, I canceled it. Next time when I took Uber they just added a charge to my current bill silently without any intimation. I had to call them and go though half an hour of explaining. After that only they agreed to adjust the amount in my next bill. There was no option to get my cash back if I wanted my money. In my view this is no different than taxi nexus and once they are the o

> Without it, webapps can not reasonably compete the native apps.

This point, on its own, sounds rather nice to me. After all, the various implementations of modern HTML and Javascript that allow these 'webapps' to function are the same ones being abused ad nauseum by news organizations and other media entities.

I don't deny the usefulness of these modern web development features. I also recognize that because most of the world is on Google Chrome, this makes cross-platform support easier for developers. However, I also realize that web apps are popular because of how much easier it is to track, monitor, and collect users' data and behaviors when they are forced to access your application from the browser.

My observation has been that auto-playing media in browsers is a common strategy to artificially inflate a site's media engagement figures. The strategy is cheap, prays on users' media illiteracy, and is incredibly dishonest. Worst of all, it allows media companies to sidestep the more expensive problem of producing engaging, high-quality content in favor of dumb little gimmicks to keep inflating their engagement figures. I don't know about everyone else here, but if the content is interesting to me, I'm willing for my right hand to leave the keyboard for about 0.5 seconds in order to click the 'play' button with my mouse.

> Personal Experience: I had to wait 3 hours + in Bangalore to get 35$ worth of small note currency.

Not trying to argue about this. But I had Rs 75 in my wallet when the announcement was done, and since then I never had to go to an ATM. Didn't have any problems whatsoever.

I have monthly account books running in vegetable and grocery shops. And they have given their account nos. The only time there was an issue was at the barber shop, where I offered to pay by paytm, but the guy said to pay later. So yea, I haven't had to go to an atm, and I don't think I need to unless there comes a pressing need.

Most likely.
Wait but haven't there been posts on this very site where studies showed that daydreams & wandering minds help creativity as well? e.g. Something in this article must have been linked and upvoted here at some point: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/03/mind-wandering_n_40...
I didn't really understand how to solve recursion until I spent a day thinking about it, then tried to fall asleep. the solution appeared in my half-asleep mind, fully formed. I woke up, wrote it down, and went back to sleep. In the morning, I typed in the program and it worked on the first try (until I inicreased the recursion depth beyond what my 286's stack could handle and it crashed).

Good question. It would depend on the exact numbers, I'd say. I do sometimes ride in (or drive) non-autonomous cars more dangerous than the best drivers, after all.

I don't know how relevant it will be, though. I suspect that the fact that computers are always attentive, can react instantly, and follow the rules consistently will make them much safer very quickly. But we shall see!

Perhaps you didn't notice, but the GOPe(stablishment) that sides with businesses on this issue loathed and loathe Trump with a burning passion, and he got elected in spite of them in terms of active help (passively, their total awfulness in these sorts of areas created conditions that allowed a Trump to win).

So I'd a) watch to see if he doesn't pack his administration with too many GOPe types and/or b) fires them quickly if they revert to type (he's decisive that way, even legendary, you might say), and c) ends up campaigning against a Do Nothing Congress (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80th_United_States_Congress) in 2018 (and on) so that he'll eventually be able to get promises like his "Intel, not Infosys" one on H-1Bs fixed in the law.

Actually, administratively he can nuke the Infosys type bodyshops from orbit, especially if he takes a page from JFK's playbook and starts putting their executives in Federal prison.
For me, at least, I feel much more in control of what's actually going on when I'm working on the command line; once you hit the GUI level, there's another layer of abstraction that you have to understand and deal with that in a lot of cases isn't very helpful.

Case in point, right now I'm an undergrad TA'ing a C++ class. One thing that has been very useful when helping students out is compiling their code under Clang and GCC, which for me, is as simple as just changing `CXX` when I cmake their stuff. But hell if I have any idea how to change that easily in their IDE. It's also easier for me to redirect compiler output somewhere so I can look at it, and for maybe everything except step-by-step debugging, I have pretty much no need for the IDE.

Granted, GUIs can offer a lot of advantages - if I'm moving data between two different computers, I will almost definitely use WinSCP, unless it's someone I need to script, simply because the interface is clean, straightforward, and I've never yet had to worry about side effects. And obviously, I use a browser like Chrome and an email client like Gmail. But there are some things where the GUI just adds way too much complexity that I don't ever want to deal with.
I would imagine that this database is going to be used to supplement police work rather than substitute it. I don't think police or prosecutors will try to press charges based on the database searches alone because it is very unlikely that something like that would hold up in court. They will also have to show other evidence that the person in question did in fact commit the crime. For example, in this case, it seems like the software justified the drug sting, but I imagine the drugs and paraphernalia found at the scene was what justified the actual arrest and prosecution.

I am looking for help on the marketing & sales of a side project that has very nice potential (made $1000 in 5 days on launch). I am a tech guy with good grasp of the business side but I am currently very busy to deal with it. Besides it’s more fun with partners.

Ideally I am looking for someone to work remotely a couple of hours a week for performance-based compensation.

Here are some more details on the project - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12365693, I’ve also written a couple of posts about the current performance - http://hackernewsbooks.com/blog. If interested drop me a couple of lines on hello@hackernewsbooks.com with who you are, how you think you can help and some concrete ideas for growth & monetization of the website. Looking forward!

That bank sounds to have bigger issues: perhaps obvious, it's very likely that they were storing the password as plaintext -- since they were able to ask you for a specific character and verify that your answer was correct. Scary.

Have also never heard of a bank that actually asked for a password, substring or not, at least aside from being asked for a 'Phone PIN' or similar lesser/non-critical to authentication piece of information.

Not as bad as in the link you've posted, but several cities in India are extremely polluted.

State transport buses, majority of private commercial vehicles, fascination of diesel vehicles (particularly SUVs) contribute a lot.

I'm not an expert in Ceph but I've built many other storage solutions and typically where distributed filesystems fall down in performance is with small files. Even something like an Isilon can get into trouble with those kinds of workloads. The files are too small to be striped across multiple nodes and there's a lot of metadata overhead. Monolithic systems tend to do better with small files but even then you can run into trouble at the protocol (NFS) level with the metadata.

Disk systems do get expensive at scale but the scale that they're usually sold at these days is pretty huge. You talk about going up to a petabyte but that's a fraction of a single rack's worth of disk these days. Not everyone wants to be a filesystem expert and distributed filesystems are jumping in at the deep end.
One of the most disturbing stories that I don't hear mentioned is of Sean Baker, who was working undercover for the USAF as part of an attempt to gauge the abuses at Guantanamo. Baker was beaten by the guards so badly that he got a serious brain injury.

"In January 2003, Baker was ordered by an officer at Guantanamo to play the role of a prisoner in a training drill. [...] The soldiers in the reaction force were operating under the impression that he was a genuine detainee that had assaulted a sergeant. [...] Although Baker shouted out the safeword ("red") he had been given to stop the exercise and stated that he was a U.S. soldier, the soldier continued beating Baker's head against the floor and choking him. Only after he ripped his prison jumpsuit in the struggle, revealing that he was wearing a battle dress uniform and government-issue boots underneath, did the beating stop."

I use silly passwords at sites where I don't care about security and don't want to be correlated with my other accounts elsewhere. Does this mean I'm bad at password generation and reuse? ;)
Actually, I don't think there's a need to store multiple hashes.

Here's one idea: Let's say the user's password is P. The user enters some password P' with a typo. The authentication check is "does H(T_k(P')) == H(P)" for some set of transformations {T_1, T_2, ..., T_n}. Each transformation T_i hypothesizes that the user made a specific mistake. (e.g., T_1 is the caps lock is on so we need to flip the case of all the characters)
The last time I was made to change my Chase password, I made it maximal length at the time (32 characters). However, it turned out their login page had an off-by-one error in the login page Javascript, such that it wouldn't let you type 32 characters in the field. I worked around it via using the browser debugging tools to fix the bug, then decided on a 30-character password as an additional margin of safety. They said they'd look into it, never heard back about it.

What pervades your comment is that lonely people are somehow broken or stuck in a fantasy world. Is that really how you feel?

It's generally understood that police will lie like rugs at every point in the process, because the smooth functioning of the system requires it. But, when they're directly lying to a judge, the judge tends to take it personally (since no one likes being lied to) and has the power to impose immediate consequences.

Make no mistake, they do lie to judges, or at minimum give incantations with no regard to their truth value ("I noticed a furtive movement"). But easily-disproven lies are riskier.

That caps lock case is a good one, but I don't really see other realistic instances where you wouldn't just say "username or password is incorrect".
Yes, when I wound up with Fidelity for a 401(k) I found their system was designed around being able to "enter your password on your phone" -- using the number keys, i.e. b3G -> 234. I can only hope that version is at least stored as a hash...

I was referring to where the article compares 100ms latency to 8 years. Typical "enterprise" storage solutions have sub-millisecond response times.

In any case, when someone is having a problem with their storage performance I just find it funny that everyone suggests S3 which has terrible performance.
