If you knew about the risk, you would have secured your router firewall

I suppose there's a follow-up story to be had on routers that come with UPNP enabled by default, because wherever that's the case, your firewall has a hole poked in it as soon as the device powers up and connects to the LAN.
I assume they would leave AppleScript just for legacy purposes, even if they are moving to JS or something else.
now that apple dropped "OS X" and moved on to another naming scheme, MS is now free to follow suit.
It's good for sure, listen to the last sliding notes on the funk riff, the analog is much more characteristic, the smooth gradient is perceptible, it's the interaction of analog harmonics, as another post mentioned it's often at the extremes that the most interesting sounds emerge, these I imagine are areas where interesting sonic dynamics will occur. All music making stuff is cool, from gong to modular analog through string box bass and digital tricks, we are lucky to have such tools to hand, the original 303 cost a lot, they still do...
To be honest, people that aren't going to be convinced that an in-depth video interview John Pilger asserts was made on October 30th or an abundance of statements from all parties about two days worth of formal interviews over the court case that's dogged him for a while aren't going to be convinced by a quick video of him saying "I aten't dead yet", or probably even a keysigned message.

There are an abundance of pretty straightforward hypotheses consistent with the known facts(e.g. "Assange isn't feeling fine because he's still angry and/or paranoid about his preferred internet connection being taken away", "Assange feels this story is good publicity, relative to other kinds of publicity he's getting at the moment") but of course these aren't the ones being discussed on "Where is Assange?" subreddits.
I wonder the same thing also. The SW/robot/AI should be able to take over this task soon.
> Some kids have much better resources than other kids

Do you mean in the sense of "engineer parents who encourage this kind of thing", or in the sense of "their own computer to research this on and time to build it", or in some other sense?

I'm assuming you wouldn't have been envious of some kids' access to cardboard and glue.
From the woodworking site posted a couple of days ago, Matthias Wandel made one out of wood:

When is it too late to get into programming?
I'm 24 years old with a degree in business. I wasn't exposed to higher level math or programming until university and my interest in these subjects didn't really sink in until my senior year, after it was already too late in many respects.

I'm wondering at what age does HN think someone needs to have been exposed to an engineering/scientific field in order to have a realistic shot at making a meaningful contribution. I know that every situation is different and that generally it's best to try and make a living doing something you enjoy. Nevertheless, it seems that a lot of the most distinguished ideas come from individuals who started young, perhaps because the adolescent brain is more receptive and impressionable.

I believe Einstein said that if you don't make your contribution to science by age 30 then you never will. Maybe this is taken out of context, but I'd like to know where HN stands on the issue. Why is it that many profound scientific achievements come from people less than 30? And are there any notable exceptions to this rule?
Well, this article is basically all speculation, so I wouldn't complain yet.
did you read the article? scripting itunes is for curating the consumption library.
It's immoral and unjust that someone should grow up and live within the protective environment of a society, enjoying use of it's shared services and resources, while refusing to contribute towards the support of the services which make that environment possible.

Not when you were never asked if you wanted any of that stuff, and aren't given a choice as to whether or not to participate.

If you don't think it's a good deal, leave.

What, because a bunch of dead people drew some lines on a map and said "this is Whateveristan, and anybody inside these lines is bound to our decisions for all time"? Screw that. I'm with Thomas Paine who argued that there is no mechanism by which the dead can bind the living.

I've been working on setting up something similar up, but it's a pain because I'm trying out a fork of kubernetes with support for digitalocean volumes. The author has a PR upstream and it looks like it'll probably get merged.

I've played with kubernetes on DO in the past and had a lot of trouble with the controller node using more than 512mb of ram. Maybe I was running into a bug, but I'd be more comfortable with a 20 dollar cluster running a $10 controller node.

I really look forward to more provider volume support landing upstream. If we end up with support for digitalocean, vultr, and packet volumes, we're going to be in a great place. You can run a whole lot on a 200 dollar packet cluster. Maybe most people use more of AWS than I do, but blockstorage is really the final thing I need kubernetes to abstract over for the provider to not matter to me.
A much simpler and cleaner analysis: risk-return divergence.

Investors manage portfolios and fund returns are dominated by the home runs.

Therefore, investors generally want to maximize risk (and potential return), which is usually at odds with a founding team with most of their net worth tied up in the company.
Atm you have to verify every new device in turn if you care about proving who they are.

I max out my cable modem's connection. I pay for 50mb/s, and 802.11n on a 5Ghz channel is more than sufficient.

At work however, yes, that gigabit wired ethernet connection is really nice. :)
Ask HN: What domain registrar are you using these days?
Namecheap seemed to be the favorite for a long time around here, but they are feeling more and more like godaddy every day.

What registrar do you guys use lately? Is there one that just sells domains?
LOL. He writes "You see, it’s all about freedom. Freedom to do things we want that Apple doesn’t think we need to be able to do."

Apple was never about freedom. Apple has always been about control. They take freedom and control away from consumers to deliver a "better experience" and charge a premium for it. If you don't align with Apple's vision, you are always SOL.

Their whole business model is built on a gamble that they know better then everyone else. no Floppy, iPhone, iPad, no headphone jack... (although the headphone jack is probably a bust)
You have a ton of these types of statements. Which one do you apply the treatment too? Your approach only allows doing this troubleshooting approach to a single place at a time easily.

0.9.0 is web, 0.6.1 is android. 0.6.0 is lagging (0.6.1 is a bugfix release made around 12:00 GMT) because fdroid takes ages to process builds.
That argument was just as valid when there were only 2000 people.
I would think that if they're getting ready to introduce a replacement technology ("SwiftScript" maybe?) they wouldn't let go their expert on the old tech just yet.

I'm working on publishing some research in this specific slice of cryptography in the next couple of weeks, but briefly.

Alice, Bob, and Charlie are chatting securely. Using the notation where lowercase indicates secret key and uppercase indicates public keys:

s0 = aBC = bAC = cAB

Debora joins the conversation.

s1 = aBCD = bACD = cABD = dABC

What does Debora see? In naive implementations, the output of the previous handshake (s0) is given to Debora to mix with her secret key. This isn't a good design (and you can't do this with the implementations of X25519 I've reviewed, e.g. libsodium's), but that's not obvious to someone who's never studied these kind of protocols before.

Now they decide to oust Charlie from the group. How do you handle revocation safely and efficiently?

If you combine the two issues above, you create a join-slurp-leave loop that gives you the secret keys of conversations that take place while you are absent. (This is an active attack, of course.)

Let's say Bob's laptop is stolen. Does mpECDH have forward security-baked in? No. (Protocols like Signal's do.)

So you add forward secrecy. Great, now how do you know the server isn't replacing public keys since they're changing frequently?

These are just a sample of the kind of challenges one faces when they venture down this road. If you ask almost any cryptographer, they'll have a somewhat reasonable answer for these challenges. But a non-crypto dev would, with all likelihood, not think to even ask.
I agree with you. However, there still seems to be a progression (or at least from articles I've read stating that serial entrepreneurs are usually more successful...)

It seems that newer entrepreneurs will take less risk (is this true..? that's why I used seems). More seasoned/serial entrepreneurs will just go balls to the wall because they know of the mistakes they've made in the past and know how to be successful. They don't seem to be as scared of failure because they've failed before.

Should newer entrepreneurs just skip the progression and go straight to not being afraid and effect mimic more seasoned peers. Would the chances of success be slightly higher (even a slight higher chance of success is worth it...)?
you are certainly right about the familiarity. Also some of the ideas proposed here have been very valuable, i'll be sure to check them out.

Soooooo to give you an argument ad absurdum, wouldn't it be ideal to have a monarchy/dictatorship so that our leaders can spend time thinking about legislation rather than those pesky elections?

Another alternative would be longer terms. Like 10-year, 20-year, or life-long terms?

I'm trying to think of an honest solution to the problem you've raised and I haven't found one that seems better. Maybe donors should be more humble, and be okay with an aid-to-the-legislator calling them for money?

Exactly. If he seriously cared about freedom he'd be using an open-source operating system.
I don't know either. It happens sometimes. I think it's just the bandwagon effect, and depends on the initial votes and their timing.
Have you tried using JXA? It's horribly undocumented! :( I find it incredibly frustrating, because otherwise I think JXA would be amazing. It's actually incredibly powerful, if you're willing to put in the time to figure it out.

You can use JXA-handbook and
its linked resources as a reference. But aside from that the only thing you'll find from Apple is the changelog [1] and the library in Script Editor (open it with shift+cmd+L).

Some background info:

After the 2013 Snowden disclosures, Germany started a Parliamentary Committee [0] to investigate the extent and background of foreign secret services spying in Germany. In fact, they ended up revealing a lot about Germany's own secret service, BND. The committee consists of 8 members: 6 govt, 2 opposition.

They all agreed they should interview Snowden as a witness, but it was unclear where this would happen. Govt members voted to not interview him in Berlin and instead do a video conference to Moskow, which Snowden rejected.

The opposition then sued govt parties and the committee for not inviting Snowden to Berlin. They also sued chancellor Merkel for not supporting the committee.

The committee also agreed on interviewing Snowden in Moskow locally, which Snowden also rejected.

Also, the US allegedly threatened Germany to stop notifying them about "plots and other intelligence matters" should they give Snowden asylum. [1]

It's preposterous that such a thing could be possible in an uncompromisingly digital reality, but if you make a computer wet enough, or big enough, or abstract enough, it will start to happen. And it has, now.

The objectives of the Gettysburg Address were entirely political and did not require the audience to keep track of detailed information with complex interactions.

but personally I feel we are born into this world with a whole ton of obligations.

How in the world can one be born with obligations? Especially considering that you didn't even ask to be born to begin with? When you're born you certainly haven't had a chance to voluntarily enter into any contracts, or accept any burdens. What you're talking about sounds like slavery to me.

Hey.

The comment you're replying to doesn't say any lies. It doesn't show all your reasons to vote FN (nor that you want to vote for them), but it clearly states one of the things you shared with HN.

It seemed clear from the start that you had some kind of grudge against women and I'm trying not to judge you, because I don't know you and I'd make a wrong judgement.

However, please let me tell you that women do indeed have to go through great lengths to get the same recognition we do. If you could, would you rather be a woman? If the answer is "no", think about the reasons.

Things are definitely not black or white, but whatever your feelings are towards discrimination in favour of women, please please please take some time to walk in their shoes an understand how what might seem unimportant or a joke to us could put them in discomfort or just plainly scare them. Think about the bullies at school (you've mentioned identifying as a nerd) and how you would smile at their jokes and try to be best buds just because you felt scared by their physical superiority.

From guy to guy, it's about empathy really.

Most people who are programming for a living do not intend to and will never make meaningful contributions to an engineering/scientific field.

Bingo.

Homeopathic treatments are simply not fit for purpose, even by the standards of ordinary products. If an engine oil failed to provide any lubrication, or if an electric cord could not power devices attached to it, it would promptly be withdrawn from the market. Standards should only be higher for products that are intended for human consumption.

What Motivates the Gig Economy. Interviews with Uber and Lyft Drivers
Since there will be "no more versions of Windows" and "only updates to Windows 10", I'm curious how Microsoft will handle getting customers to "pay for Windows upgrades".

I assume either that assumption is false, and this is just another bait and switch from Microsoft, and they will make customers pay for "big updates" for Windows 10 in the future - or they will try to at least transition businesses to a subscription for Windows.

They're already seeding the idea that Windows 10 updates will not be free forever to unsuspecting tech writers by getting them to push headlines such as "Next Major Update Of Windows 10 Will Arrive In Month X, For Free"

First off, everyone already assumes that Windows 10 updates would be free, since Windows "updates" have always been free - so why even bother to put such a "useless" fact in a word-constraint headline? The only explanation is that they're trying to prepare the public for when Windows 10 updates will not be free, and make them think "Oh, so the version after that may not be free anymore?!" and set that expectation.
24 is definitely not too late. I worked professionally in finance until I was 30 and followed my passion to be a coder. Programs like Thinkful.com are great to help u with a mentor to move things along (disclaimer: I'm a mentor on the site).

I saw an important key as a principal I took from a book called the Talent Code, you need to see programming s something you'd still be willing and interested to do when you're old. If you can see yourself as a coder for life you're going to put in the time, if it's just the next hobby interest for the next 6 months before you wanna do something else's you're going to struggle to justify to yourself why you should spend so much time learning to code.
yep--

it's also decent practice to send your oscillators into a mixer anyway so that they can be rerouted at large.

for instance, say you have 4 oscillators, 2 fx buses and an output. you route (4 oscillators) -> mixer -> fx bus 1 -> output. then if you want to switch the fx bus for your oscillators, you can just reroute the mixer instead of each oscillator individually.

in the case of a recorder, you'd want the end of your entire graph to look like this: mixer -> recorder -> output. this way your recorder is capturing all audio (oscillators, effects, etc). (and, as noted above, you have the option to reroute the mixer directly to the output when it's not recording).

Mixins Are Better for Performance
Yep - and this model generally works because when it comes down to it choice sucks.

I'd rather have a high quality thing with good defaults than a thousand different things to choose from. Ultimately the best would be a combination where you have high quality software with sane defaults that also allows a power user to make changes when necessary, but in practice it's hard to do both without tradeoffs that cause you to end up with neither.

This doesn't mean I don't like playing around with linux or that everything Apple does is high quality (looking at you Apple Music), but generally reducing choices a user is required to make is a good thing.
