I suppose the other economic option is insurance. That works best in general with a lawsuit, but certain companies that would suffer great damages with a breach should be motivated to buy insurance.

One example would be companies handling credit card information. If you leak a bunch of credit cards, Visa has to invalidate and reissue the cards, and the issuing banks have to spend a lot of money handling customer support. So they're motivated to punish companies when there are security breaches, and to write these punishments into the contracts.

Thanks for the article.
In my case weight of mouse is important. Light mouse is much better, cordless mouses with battery was killing my right hand. I got Mueller Wrist brace and it helped a lot when away from computer.

The worst thing are stupid standard desks. 75cm height with keyboard on top. At home I build my own desk with 80cm height and keyboard+mouse shelf.
As Snoopers’ Charter becomes law, our message to Government: see you in court
I honestly believe Obama largely steered clear of identity politics, which is why he won the Presidency twice.

He came onto the national scene in the 2004 Democratic National Convention with a lyrical speech about all of the things shared by both people in the "Blue States" and the "Red States".

"The pundits, the pundits like to slice and dice our country into red states and blue States: red states for Republicans, blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too. We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19751-2004Jul...

And I honestly believe Obama's "A More Perfect Union" speech will go down as one of the best and most important speeches in American history, for describing the frustrations of both whites and minorities when it comes to discussing race in America.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_More_Perfect_Union_(speech)#...

I have also recently noticed Obama and some of his surrogates getting in not-so-subtle digs at Clinton in recent days.

“I won Iowa not because the demographics dictated that I would win in Iowa. It was because I spent 87 days going to every small town and fair and fish fry and VFW hall.”

Heard similar comments from former denizens of the Obama White House in the Keepin' it 1600 podcast.

So maybe even Team Obama is frustrated at Clinton's "identity politics" over reach.
Growing up, I was "taught" / conditioned to "endure" severe, chronic stress.

This led to an accumulation of adverse events I was too stressed to effectively manage. Including especially physical injuries that had lasting negative effects.

I "hung in there" until my early 40's, when a career blow knocked the last pin out from under me.

I knew what I needed and wanted to do next. But I was frozen.

Physical health issues have continued to accumulate and to paint me into a corner.

Guard your physical health! Without it, life is much harder, and one problem tends to become two, become three...

Your physical health is the basis of your mental health and well-being. When you are physically unhealthy, it is much harder to be positive and productive. Especially when symptoms weigh on you persistently and take away your ability to focus and think effectively and to be comfortably social.

There is precious little in life that is worth the sacrifice of your physical health. And beware of scenarios that suggest or demand a trade-off against some future promise.

Those reassurances most often simply serve the person or system demanding the sacrifice. And it is a sacrifice -- don't expect to "get it back."
Similar for me. I started getting hand and wrist pain and started simple forearm and wrist barbell exercises which worked quickly and effectively.
A lightbulb will have an RTOS, not a microkernel. While microkernels provide utmost isolation between processes and well-defined primitives for communications, a lightbulb might not even have separate supervisor and user modes.
Sure, you could do that. You're using a less well known DOM, which will probably discourage extension authorship somewhat. AFAIK Qt's "v4" is a v8 fork, so scripting performance is probably a wash. It's hard to imagine that the DOM renderer in QML is really much better performing than Webkit, and anyway it's not really DOM rendering that's the slow part in Atom -- VS Code proves that.

I don't know what you'd really hope to gain from this, in other words. "Atom is more-or-less just as slow but has a less well known DOM" doesn't strike me as a compelling engineering decision.
Is it Unicode by default now?
I've always wondered why they don't make keyboard halves that attach to arm rests on the typical office chair. So your arms are lowered for more blood flow, and the wrists and elbows in a more natural/neutral position. I'd buy it.

In the meantime, I have a MS "natural" keyboard, and a vertical mouse as well. Those have solved all my RSI/wrist pains.

Going back to flat or compact keyboards and horizontal mice is extremely annoying. Not just the muscle memory gap, but the positioning just feels wrong.

I worked earlier in my career as an agronomist and struggled since the early nineties with the idea how smart sensors someday could be affordable yet not get implemented because of the cost of sending data. To my knowledge no one has solved this problem and it could be a very large business.

It seems difficult to believe the point 1, where she is being chased by VCs. The author has never built a startup before. All her previous roles have been mid/entry level roles in big/mid size companies.

I do agree with the points mentioned in the article though.

Fake news sites are not these evil-motivated Illuminati types trying push a global agenda, but they are desperate publishers just trying to make a buck.

The whole "Clinton paid people to protest" stream was created by a fake news author, who even created a fake craigslist ad for their story. [1] They even bragged about it on reddit, claiming they think they helped Trump win the election because of the frequency of how millions of people shared their stories on Facebook.

Enough of these fake news stories circulating leads to swaying people's opinions to make statements such as the Clintons are "even more terrible than you think" without evidence.

On-Demand Work: Phones, but No Papers
I use the same model now that I have a child-- you can't optimize or think too hard about it, you just need to do it. Doesn't matter what tools or methods you use. Could use a phone todo, a sheet of paper in your pocket, whatever.

Things I frequently do randomly during the day:

1. iMessage myself a note or todo so I won't forget
2. email myself a note or todo item, especially if there's an image or link etc.
3. write a quick note in the iPhone notes app
The only problem with those arguments is because people use them as rhetorics instead of looking at them in a mathematical way.

Guns can be used to do bad things, like threatening and killing people[0]. They can be used for good things like providing pleasure to people who use them for sports or target practice. The question you want to ask is pretty much utilitarian - how much good vs bad comes from having guns widely available? If there isn't that much good, and by banning guns you can reduce the bad significantly, then it's worth to ban guns. If banning guns doesn't actually remove that much bad, but removes the good, it's not worth banning it. The question is really about estimating the difference between good and bad in those two situations.

So in case of guns, the estimates are not too clear. In case of encryption, it seems that having it available provides high amount of good (e-commerce, banking, privacy) and some amounts of bad (criminals harder to spy on by law enforcement). Banning encryption pretty much kills the entire good side, while does very little to the bad side (encryption algorithms are already open source anyway, so at best it'll affect the opportunistic simple criminals). Thus - by the same principle as with guns - it seems clear[1] that banning encryption will make the lives of good people worse.

--

[0] - let's ignore the issue of legitimate use of violence/threat of violence by governments for now to simplify the point.

[1] - if you agree with my estimates; however I believe arguing estimates by models and hard data is easier and more robust of a task than arguing positions based on rhetorics.

Yes, it's as close to a standard as you can get. It delineates a data model for certain types of medical data and their transport but it itself is not a database.
Probably just hoping the Obama coalition would just automatically flow over to her, with no specific outreach on her part.

Most of them did (the biggest share of popular votes) just not quite enough to win the Electoral College.
A formal spec would be great but you're right. Plenty of people have done working layers of Linux in user-mode, etc. The only thing I know with formal specifications was filesystem API's for testing them. There have also been selective ones for things like robust drivers. Personally, I'd love to see one just to document all the state and covert channels. Especially visually. I bet it would be one, big-ass, messy graph. :)
Looks like I got downvoted pretty heavily. I genuinely think that the long term gains of good ergonomics shouldn't be ignored. Obviously Sara has bigger fish to fry on a day-to-day basis, but hands are precious and we ought to minimize effort and maximize output.

Let me start by saying that the free trial is perfectly functional and you can use the product totally for free and you are welcome to!

The pricing for individuals is gonna be published soon along with the SaaS product. It's probably gonna be something like $10/mo but still couple more features need to be built to justify that (like permanent links which content can be edited)

As for the $100/mo - we do have business/enterprise customers who find lots of value in it. I guess the price has been initially verified by the market so should I justify it?

I guess I can justify the price by saying that the project has taken numerous hours of engineering, testing and experimenting. I think this is natural in pricing models that bigger customers pay more.

If you can do the same in a week than good for you.

Peace and take care :)
That does make the optimum amount of regulation on encryption way lower than the optimum amount of regulation on guns. Ideally, for encryption it's no regulation at all.

I do agree. But keep in mind that the people comparing those two are just saying that if you defend no regulations for gun, you must also defend no regulation for encryption.

I find this strange for a group of people that may also have benefited from certain leaks to get in power. I would expect that they would put whistleblowers on a pedestal.

I must say that I don't envy my American friends with this future administration. They seem to change a lot of tunes and there seem to be a lot of contradictions.

Really fun article on how to trick GCC on Linux into cross-compiling for DOS, when it has no explicit DOS support. Nice reminder that underneath all the libraries, system calls, and so on, all our programs compile to the same instruction set on the bare metal :)
The lightness with which you can say that a branch of the State could just "turn on internal enemies" is something straight out of Soviet Russia and other unsavoury regimes. Is this what the almighty US are now, a bunch of mafia organizations fighting for power with all the dirty tricks they can muster?

Obama should do The Right Thing and screw the intelligence community - what have they done for him in 8 years anyway? Started bad wars and lied under oath.
And I just want to tell you that I really like the service. It allows me to quickly check the most interesting posts of last week if I wasn't able to read up on Hacker News during the week.

If you're talking about batch attacks. They're a completely theoretical kind of attack, it does not apply to normal usages of AES. Sure, TLS makes it possible to theorize about them. Let me try:

Imagine that the NSA has collected 2^40 sessions using AES-128 on the internet. Let's imagine that they only want to steal session IDs being sent (if they want to eavesdrop on more data, it will be worse). From burp, I get that a simple GET request to Gmail is 2319 bytes, that's around 144 blocks of AES. Let's say a 100.

So in total, the NSA would have to store 2^40 * 128 * 100 bits, let's say around 2 petabytes.

Also I forgot, let's imagine that the first block of any of these sessions' first message is always the same thing. A GET request to the same address. We got extra lucky!

Now they have to perform 2^88 AES operations for each key guess, and hopefully they will start finding keys at this point. (It's more than all of the computing power of bitcoin btw.). And for each of these AES operations they also have to check in their 2 petabytes corpus for a match (I hope you way to do that).

Let's imagine that the NSA wants to do less computations of AES. They could have stored 2^50 sessions instead! And now they only have to perform 2^78 AES operations.

For this they would have to store around 2 exabytes. In 2010 the whole traffic of internet was estimated to be around 21 exabytes per month. So if the NSA would be to record sessions for a month, they would need to store 10% of the internet hopping that they would also be GET requests to Gmail.

Now we can theorize about the evolution of storage space, and computing power, and ... quantum computer. In which case ECDHE will fall before AES-128 does.
Last year I got into lifting for the first time ever (I'm 35). I got on a program, just doing a couple of heavy compound lifts three days a week, and the change for me has been night and day.

It doesn't take much time to learn how to do it correctly, and it's a lot more fun than running. All those aches and pains have gone away. Seriously, I can't recommend enough getting into lifting.
As Overtonwindow mentioned (in this very thread)¹, it’s probably not in his best interests to do that:

“[That] would likely create a tremendously huge backlash from the intelligence community, and turn them against the Democratic party for a very long time. You think Wikileaks and Hillary's emails were bad? Piss off the intel community and have them turning their mighty tools of deception and surveillance on the entire DNC…”

You're right. I should go get redundant power supplies and a full rack for my little hobby cluster.
Similar story here. Sarno's book killed my RSI.
There are lots of people in the intelligence community that are appalled by domestic surveillance efforts as well.

Besides, if your accusation is correct (that they are so mindless and stupid as a group that their reaction to a controversial presidential pardon would be to go after the political party associated with that president), then the US should just fire every single last one of them and start from scratch. Seriously. If that's where things are at, then they're all negative contributors anyway. But I don't think it's that bad, I've got more faith in humanity than you do apparently (for the time being at least :( ).
I know the steps, the class-action was because even after doing all that iMessage would still not properly deregister numbers, and then a memo was leaked revealing that Apple purposefully didn't solve the problem because it lead to people returning to iPhones after trying Android devices

Barack Obama isn't going to do a thing that doesn't benefit Barack Obama in some way, shape or form.

He is a politician. That's what they do.

A Snowden pardon does nothing but possibly threaten Obama's legacy. Which, at this point in all administrations, is the primary focus of Presidents.
So what you are saying is, we need microphones on every street corner running natural language processing and speech recognition software to identify and record any threats someone may make?
Also, the AltRight is explicitly about adopting identity politics for the white majority.

And of course, many are arguing Trump's campaign was an appeal to white identity, although I realize a lot of Trump voters take issue with that characterization.

It is very easy to fail as a restaurant because you signed the wrong lease/for the wrong place/at the wrong location/in the wrong neighborhood, or any combination thereof. Everyone I personally know in the food services industry works harder than anyone I know doing computer programming. Every task that happens in back and front of house has a very specific start time and a very specific duration allowance - there is no flexibility and no opportunity for pacing or giving yourself some slack.

We find it to be very good business to provide amazing customer service to all users, free or paid. It results in better word of mouth advertising. It's so appreciated by users that they will evangelize for your service, assuming it's something they use regularly.

The cost for support is low too, relatively speaking. Obviously not all businesses have enough margin to consider this, some support is more expensive than others etc.

Edit: 2.5 Mb was wrong, shame on me -_-

5 Million articles, 512b per Hash, if that's enough, gives 2.5 Gb. Updates can be much smaller. Multiply that by 10 for hashes of the nearest users, who have a copy, and that's still manageable. Just of the top of my head.

The same kinds of leaks that were problematic for the last administration are problematic for the new administration. There's a small reset of credibility with the new administration - but not much.

The strategy is highly likely to be: magnify the idea that the last administration was corrupt, and suppress the idea that the new administration is corrupt (by suppressing whistleblowing, etc).

Incorrect.

As a white dude, have you ever tried walking into a ghetto? Please try it out tonight. If you believe your stance is correct, you shall experience no racism and no harm will come to you.

As a white dude...ever been to prison? Please, go and visit. If you think there's no racism against white people, you should be able to fit right in with all the black people in prison.

As a white dude....ever tried to buy drugs? You'll certainly be paying much higher prices than my black and hispanic brethren.

Honestly - where do you get off speaking for my race? I'm not a victim and I control my own experience. You're trying to take that away from me by making me a "protected class".

The worst thing you could possibly do is to give me special treatment.

How Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, Restricted Advertising for Trump’s Campaign
This is a valid point. I told people elsewhere best way to deal with subversion [aside from avoiding computers] is to assess one's threat model against various countries, identify which secrets need to be protected from which if at all, and then protect them using stuff from most opposing country. The one you trust might compromise you but the one that's truly a threat won't.

Outside of national politics, Russia is most likely to steal the I.P. of say an American user outside of it. Whereas American intelligence and police organizations might lock up that same user for some bullshit. Situation is reversed for a Russian considering U.S. solutions. Some countries or organizations are unlikely to steal your I.P. or attack you. They become better choice than the aggressive ones. Then there's multinational, FOSS projects with strong security focus at the high-end. Gotta build them from carefully-acquired source, though. ;)
