It's probably almost entirely that south-east New Hampshire is a bedroom community for Boston. Most of Vermont is far enough away from Boston and New York that people can't easily commute, whereas if you live in Portsmouth or Exeter or Nashua, NH, it's under an hour to Boston.

I love this. I despise the fact that my bank restricts passwords lengths to max 16 chars, hash lengths are constant, it is ridiculous. It is a BANK, if anything they should be more secure.

Instead they force me to make passwords that easily fit a password mask by restricting special characters and forcing at least one number, uppercase letter, etc. They are actually weakening the security in a vain attempt to get people to make stronger passwords. All they do is make it P@$$w0rd instead, no increased security, it is so predictable

I think disallowing SMS for 2FA will make it harder to get people to use it, if they finally decide to signup then they are informed they need an authenticator program. Also there have been times my phone was dead and I didnt have a backup plan.
Not OP, but SICP stands for "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs". It is available online; it is generally regarded as one of the great CS books. As for religion, I have no idea what that means.
The ability for me to create folders and add feeds to them without having to click and drag. I'm using a screen reader so can't do the drag-and-drop thing, ya know. Also, an easy way to rename feeds without having to click my heals together 3 times fast. Lol by that I mean actually inserting a labeled element on the page that takes you to the form for renaming feeds. Oh and there's just one more thing. Perhaps I'm a bit old-fashion, but I used to love the Google reader way of doing things in list/compact view, as in a heading with the title and a link to the article, and then an excerpt. I haven't found a service that does it exactly that way since then. Lol, and before you regret asking this question, I'll leave!
Shit, dang near all of them. Lol. Admittedly, most of my hiring experience with recent grads came out of smaller regional universities (Augusta University, Augusta Tech, Georgia Tech) and a few for-profit schools (Kaplan, Phoenix, Full Sail).

I'm guessing the downvotes here are based on your wording, "worst possible thing to do", and not your core point that Korean and Japanese are grammatically very similar.

You're right that the test would be even more interesting with three very different languages. But it's still pretty impressive with Korean, English, and Japanese as shown, despite the similarity.
That doesn't seem to work - I have a POTS line here, and no amount of tapping or striking the phone receiver on a surface is the equivalent of dialing (I tried the phone itself and my headset microphone). Perhaps a local VoIP ATA works that way, but my Telco does not. And I'm not surprised, there's a big difference between detecting an audio signal and detecting a local loop interruption through 18,000 feet of copper.

I think the concern is that if Facebook builds sophisticated censorship tools for China, the temptation for other nations to adopt them will become overwhelming. The Chinese level of censorship could become a defacto standard without a robust conversation about what that means for society.

Even those enthusiastically calling for censorship of 'fake news' may be given pause for thought when considering how those tools might be used by political opponents.
From the article:

"Why would you want to do this? For countries that drive on the other side of the road. Like Canada. But, oops: they drive on the same side of the road, not the other side, so we see humorous bit #1: feigned American ignorance of Canada. But oops, again: assuming a left-side steering wheel is an AmericanCulturalAssumption - you might really want to change the side it's on if you're British and you're driving to Canada. That's humorous bit #2: we've caught the picky people in an unwarranted assumption (and a USAian one, at that!). Humorous bit #3 is the sheer unlikelihood of a British (or Japanese/Australian/Indian) person driving to Canada, after all.

That's the explanation. But it doesn't make the joke any funnier."
What's the only thing worse / stupider / more annoying than secret questions?

Aloe vera based cosmetic products aren't regulated. Per the article, Bloomberg had the products analyzed independently and are reporting on the findings. It is unknown for how long this has been the case and, before this article, what the exact composition for each product was despite their labels.

This is pretty much the libertarian solution: let the market handle it, maybe someone with the means to will care enough to look into it. Millions of people applied a mystery gel to their skin, some in an attempt to treat an ailment, for what could be years or decades.

Yes, whitelisting makes much more sense. Github has an API that you can ask about which IPs are in their network - compare the webhook sender against that list and you're dandy. This should become a standard in webhook APIs.
Real product. I actually wrote about it over a year ago [1]. The number of customers now is twice as large and this is still a problem.

1. https://www.nucleics.com/why-do-only-5-of-the-93-dna-sequenc...
We[1] had a similar problem with clients reporting to us about lost callbacks[2] (our term for webhook). To solve it, we have built two options.

- Get a notification email everytime the callback fails. The email contains the same information the callback was supposed to deliver

- Retries. We retry for the next 24 hrs (max) with an interval of 5 mins or until the callback call succeeds (within those 24hrs). We created a sub-resource called `calls` (/callbacks/[id]/calls) that keep the status of the call we made. If it succeeds, the status changes to "SUCCESS", if it fails, it remains in "FAILED". If even after 24hrs the receiver system being down, and the call does not succeed, the developer can make a call to GET /callbacks/[id]/calls?status=FAILURE and receive all the failed calls. They can process the content and do a PUT /callbacks/[id]/calls?id=ID1&id=ID2&id=ID3... with body as `{ "status": "SUCCESS" }` to mark them as "SUCCESS".

The calls are saved for upto 7 days, so that the dev has enough time to fix their server issues, and get back all the lost callback calls. This solved much of the client issues.

* An added benefit of this came to the devs who could not get an inbound POST from us into their network due to firewall restrictions. The firewall restriction defeated the purpose of live callbacks, but with the `status` option, they only checked for new (`FAILED`) notifications once every 2 hrs or so , and mark the one processed with `SUCCESS`. This way, they only look for `FAILED` and process when they have one. Else, nothing to do.

I think it would be alot easier to consume this data if it was in a table-like format vs image based.

Im more interested in the number and brands that are doing this vs the evidence. ( Evidence should be easy to get to aswell so you can build trust with your readers)

Cool site though.
I did invest the time and money in a pfSense, but that's WAY more complicated to configure [correctly] than my old and retired AirPort Express. I really can't blame "normal" people for not going that route and I'll join the crowd pining for the Apple that was.
Just because his family is managing it (IE: employees) doesn't mean they own the assets. The blind trust is most likely with people unrelated to him or the family.

What we should really talk about is the password entropy like what you've done.

If you take the xkcdpass package from Ubuntu, it uses a word list of 41230 words by default [1]. That's 41230^4 and about 61-bit of password entropy. If you want to use a smaller word list, add words to the passphrase until you reach a desirable password entropy.

Using your example of 80^7 for random characters, that's only 44-bit password entropy. So in this case, xkcdpass gives you a stronger password with just 4 words. If you want to reduce the word list to 3000, just add 1 more word and it's 46-bit password entropy. A decision between 7 random characters vs 5 words.

I personally prefer random characters because you can up the entropy significantly, and I have no problem remembering random sequence in the mid-teens range. That can easily get you 90-bit entropy or more. Everything else is saved in my password manager and there you can up the entropy even more. My auto-generated passwords are usually around 200-bit entropy.

This has generally been my experience with mathematic notation applied to CS topics; the notation itself is basically impenetrable, but once you can get the underlying ideas translated into readable form they turn out to be straightforward and easy to apply.
The market is in an odd phase right now. People recognize the insecurity but continually pump out insecure products that early adopters keep installing so we wind up with these crazy hacks that take out huge swaths of IoT devices.

The reality is the market is not mature so whatever you choose will likely change and you are likely responsible for implementing proper security controls at the Router to prevent stupid mistakes from being internet accessible.

This will resolve itself and as a tech home automation will become secure, but right now it is still relatively early in the cycle, so be prepared to make it secure on your own. Also be aware that likely there will be many things you have to integrate at some level, as there doesn't seem to be a real standard yet.
All this talk of "fake news" recently has been scaring the crap out of me. I consume all types of "news" from the whole spectrum; left, right, center, lunatic fringe, everything. I've come to the conclusion that anything called "news" is roughly 80% bullshit, 15% ads, 5% truth. Sometimes you swap the bullshit to ads ratio.
I wouldn't really describe SE NH as a bedroom community for Boston though there's some of that. A lot of Massachusetts tech, for example, is actually North and Northwest of Boston for various historical reasons. There's also a fair bit of tech and other industry in SE New Hampshire. But your basic point stands--that SE NH (in particular) has access to tech and other good industrial jobs that Vermont residents generally don't.
>The Japanese were so ready to surrender that they waited for the SECOND atomic bomb. /s

This is an expression of ignorance on your part, and you're slapping all those innocent victims in the face with your own opinion of what you think happened.

The Japanese already offered conditions of surrender, and we didn't accept it. Give me an example of another Nation State that has ever surrendered under the terms we imposed on Japan. Germany, Italy, no other country had this imposed on them. Given our history of deplorable treatment towards the Japanese, what would you do?

Everyone knew the Japanese were ready to surrender. It was a political decision:

>General George C. Marshall quietly defended the decision, but for the most part he is on record as repeatedly saying that it was not a military decision, but rather a political one.

http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-real-reason-america-used-nu...

>The Japanese were so ready to surrender that they waited for the SECOND atomic bomb. /s

This is an especially god damn arrogant comment. Information does not travel as quickly as it does today: the bombings happened 2 1/2 days apart, please consider what you would do in their shoes before you pass judgment. What would you think if someone told you something that the modern world thought impossible?

Read here: http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-real-reason-america-used-nu...

Also, Google the Mokusatsu Incident.

Even if you were right about anything, that would not do anything to explain why murdering millions of innocent civilians by fire bombing and nuclear bombing urban civilian population centers was a good idea.
Sounds like the same system Facebook is implementing in response to the fake "fake news" stories.

Well, that was way back in I think around 2005? So I don't remember it too clearly. But I remember a few times where I suddenly lost internet and the people around me said "oh, you probably tried to go to a site you're not allowed to, it'll come back in an hourish."

I haven't had that experience more recently, but I think that's partially because HTTPS is everywhere these days and partially because I use VPNs a lot more because I do need that Google/Facebook access.

Things would have to be case by case in terms of moving from the federal government today vs closer to constitutional libertarian.

The FBI and DOJ probably would not go anywhere any time soon... removing certain limits on class action and civil suits would be a start combined with truth in labelling and marketing regulations. Reducing IP protections and trade secrets would help too... as well as transparency requirements. Civil suit, with enforcement action if non-compliance would be a start.

Like I said, I'm pretty pragmatic about it, but would prefer to move towards more civil action, and less govt.

---

Also, lets be real... even with more libertarians elected, the bulk of the govt won't be thrown out any time soon... but the goals should be, minimizing govt, encouraging competition and transparency. This can be done through more strategic legislation.
Enter my annecdata: I had to surrender my work MBP and got an XPS 15, supposedly one of the best non-Apple alternatives. Alas, here I sit, typing this on my 2008 17" MBP. Even though it has worse spec is nearly every way, it's just a much more usable notebook for me. TL;DR: The Apple premium is still [so far] worth it for me.

Anyone want to buy a barely used XPS 15 (top spec)?
It's not 'serverless'. You are allowing another company to run your entire infrastructure. They run the servers. It seems like this is just another way of saying it's in the 'cloud'.

We seem to have this obsession with creating businesses that give complete control over to large companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Twitter.
Well I'd be concerned since these kinds of voices are about to be given the key to the white house.
Not enough programmers/founders/workers exercise this principal.

Our mind pushes us to believe that hours worked = productivity. But time after time this has been disproved when work is to be sustained over long periods of time[0]

However the GP isn't trying to insult you. The GP is stating that most (non-idiot) people would interpret "full stack" to mean "all the software stuff"

I appreciate your apology above.
This is the problem - my customers extract the value and want to keep all the value to themselves.
You're probably posing this question to HN as a whole, rather than me, however, my comment was focusing on the term 'exactly' in the comment to which I was replying.

I personally think that there is legitimate censorship (child porn, detailed instructions for constructing weapons of mass destruction, etc), but that the vast majority of 'fake news' and even outright false information doesn't fall into that scope. Even there I have to hedge though, since some false information can cause very harmful panic.
No they are free. You just need to sign up for a free account to see them.
My theory (not substantiated in any provable way) is that:

1) there is an automated system recently implemented that suspends accounts that receive a set number of reports within a set period of time
2) jack's account is a constant target for reporting, specially by detractors of his platform
3) his account received a recently increase in attention thanks to all the news about his efforts to sanitize the twitter environment and turn it into a safer space

The combination of these three factors may have accidentally led to his account to be suspended.

As I said, there is nothing to substantiate this theory apart from flimsy speculation
Hmm, that's a very narrow, literalist approach. But reading between the lines, it's clear who they're targeting.
Maybe, but according to wikipedia/the internet there is no scientific consensus that sunscreen works either or that global warming exists. Yet entire island nations are disappearing and the deniers just call that anecdotal.

Despite no scientific consensus of sunscreen, have you ever seen someone who forgot to apply sunscreen to a certain part of their body and its the only area that gets burned? That is one hell of a placebo.

Alternatively the same is true of aloe, you can witness people who already have a burn and apply aloe to certain areas and not others and the burn will clear up quicker and even potentially the skin will not peel where aloe was used and may peel where it was not utilized.

Now whether there is scientific consensus or not, if that is what you bring to the table, I will go out on a limb like I did with the parent post and say you have no personal experience using aloe plant for sunburn.

I am not sure how raising prices will help solve the keep-it-to-myself-problem. Being acquired for megabucks does sound nice though :)
I feel like there's so much intrinsic to the code to solve the problem though, like how the debugger works, git bisect / git blame to determine where an issue might have arisen, commenting out lines of code and checking if they cause a particular issue, etc.

I don't think I learnt about problem solving in the abstract, it was more about specific applications of problem solving in the programming world.
This brought to mind the case of Peter Bergmann (an alias). He went to the Northwest of Ireland and took his life by walking into the sea.
