> In the case of the big public clouds, the protection is the work of some of the world’s best computer scientists, hired out of places like the National Security Agency and Stanford University to think hard about security, data encryption and the latest online fraud.

Cloud providers have employees that make mistakes and bad assumptions just like everybody else. They leverage technology that wasn't created in-house that wasn't originally built for such a large scale use case. They build their own technology that is flawed at the very least because there is no perfect software.

You should never assume that a cloud provider is better at managing anything better than you could do in house. You should verify and understand that the more popular a product is the more desirable a target it is.

Whether you are doing things in house, in the cloud, or some sort of hybrid, plan for security failures and never assume that your environments or your datasets are secure.

This case sets an interesting precedent.

Similarly should gun manufacturers be penalized when their weapons are used in an illegal manner?
> a root level compromise on your system can see any of this stuff in plaintext as it gets shifted around.

Sure, but that was true without cloud storage, too. Worse: Without cloud storage, a root level compromise lets the attacker destroy your only copy.

However, this does not refute the argument that, with the cloud, the attacker can get at your data two places, instead of just one, thereby increasing the attack surface. (In fact, the attacker can get at it three places: in transit.)
Having a replaceable battery has easily extended the life of my Samsung Galaxy S3, which has lost the ability to charge through the micro USB port (from what I understand this is a fairly common problem).

There are certainly other ways to fix this issue (ranging from switching to inductive charging to, if your good with soldering, actually swapping out the micro USB port on the board). But swapping out a battery is so simple, even not very technically inclined people can do it.

I'm not sure I could say the same for something like a iPhone 7 battery swap (such as this -- https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPhone+7+Battery+Replacement/67... ) -- I agree it looks doable, but non-technically inclined people might run away from those type of instructions.
How does being rushed justify a complete an incendiary allegation based on a WAG? Do you have any basis for this allegation, or is it just an "Obama was the head of the illuminati, because, someone's gotta be heading the illuminati"-type guess?

You revised it down to 10% now; why? Don't get me wrong, 10 is a great number, much better than 11, but I still don't see any rationale.

Effective managers don't steal the credit that their team members have done. Quite the opposite in fact, they make a point of highlighting exemplary work and rewarding those that have made important contributions.

Management is also much more than _just_ delegating (of course), and I think I'd be pretty clear the difference between a good manager and a bullshitting manager, unless the higher ups are easily fooled in the ways the article describes.

Personally, I've seen a lot of this kind of behaviour, and I thought the article pretty much nailed it. Tangentially related to the highly cynical Gervais Principle: http://www.makingitanywhere.com/escape-your-job/
> The Hosted PCI Web Checkout module allows merchants to take credit card information on any page of their website. This includes checkout and my account pages. Hosted PCI uses an “Iframe” that can be easily installed on any website. Our Iframe is secure and is 100% Level 1 PCI Compliant. Our merchant’s websites never see the customer credit card information. That means, our merchants websites are not in scope for PCI Compliance requirements so you don’t have to spend time or tens of thousands on PCI audits yourself!

Technology is still a novelty. We've barely dipped a toe in the digital age, the vast majority of changes are yet to come. We probably haven't written 1% of the software we'll be using in 20 years.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned pip-tools: https://github.com/nvie/pip-tools

It's a very similar set of tools. I use pip-compile which allows me to put all of my dependencies into a `requirements.in` file, and then "compile" them to a `requirements.txt` file as a lockfile (so that it is compatible with pip as currently exists).

This looks great, though, I'm excited to check it out!
FWIW, while this is important, it happens in remote working environments too.
I moved to this area from the West Coast and found the market much better for these same reasons. Happily living in a forested area while working as a developer.

How do you see car makers differentiating their products in a world where all the parts including the frame are commoditized and the software is open source?

Also, GM built an electric car back in the 90s called the EV-1. I wonder how much innovation was in that car vs the Volt.
We've already asked you to please post civilly and substantively or not at all. We have to ban accounts that won't do this.
I do not think this is the correct analogy.

The analogy would be gun manufacturers helping customers avoiding detection after illegal usage of their weapon. In that case, yes. It's bad.
Thanks for the kind offer. Looks like ATP have posted a transcript as per bestows's comment.
You're fortunate. My colleague and I almost spat out our drinks laughing, because we were literally sitting in a discussion with all three archetypes locked in a similar struggle.

In many scenarios, it's easy for a person to be in the "S-W" role and get a great deal of success. I've watched the career of one in a large organization. At first they stumbled a few times and were "outed" as idiots. Then this person found the right role, and is now a senior leader. The true master bullshitters are insecure & smart and surround themselves with pliable people who will work like donkeys.

The tell for these people is vanity. They seek self validation by advertising credentials, announce any promotion and are forceful about projecting whatever title or responsibility they possess. Usually they are attracted to "hot", high growth areas. (easy to hide sins in growth) Infosec is a breeding ground for these people.

Experiment resolves mystery about wind flows on Jupiter
Bill Maher is not news. If you treat him as such and lump him in with the WaPo or The Economist, I don't think we can have a constructive discussion.

The articles about the Trump dossier in the WaPo, NYT, The Economist, CNN all came with explicit disclaimers that the contents from the Trump dossier came from unverified sources, and should be treated as such. I don't know how else they could have presented it. If that falls in the same category for you as an article stating unequivocally that the pope has endorsed Trump, again, I don't think we can have a constructive discussion.

I agree that some of the Democrats treating the dossier as proven facts is dumb and will probably backfire.
3. is that person the article described and is too ashamed to admit it to themselves.
The Dramatic Power of Imperfect Decisions
Although I'm not sure I would use this, this is the kind of stuff I've been waiting for. Where nice clean containers are used as part of an active dev cycle rather than just the production push.

The ultimate dream of the end user using a desktop comprising only of containers seems to be still a bit far off yet...
Not sure if this is still the case... but Google Voice cannot forward calls to any Fi numbers. So if (for example) your business uses Google Voice to route calls for customer service, you will not be able to receive them. This was an unpleasant little "feature" when we made the switch to Fi.

Filtering for Pull Request Reviews and Review Requests
In the end, not everything that works for one will work for another. The previous commenter may need to work on their communication skills but so may the people who are now remote. I think the one problem is these discussions (this is the third in as many weeks) is that people tend to take a stance of "My perfect work environment is ______. Everyone should adapt to me".

I think we need to approach this differently. Have the team self organize around rules for availability, communication techniques, etc. Come up with plans for white-boarding and brainstorming when everyone is remote to each other. Or, come up with a plan to allow people in an open space to have some quiet and privacy to get work done. I find it rather silly that a single situation is what any employee needs 100% of the time and that if they think that, they aren't considering the needs of the rest of their team. Mostly everyone just needs a little perspective I think.
Well if the employees manufacturing the guns take payments from criminals to alter the guns in some way to help them do bad things AND the gun company knows it, but ignores it then yes they should.
I copied this method of loading datasets from Keras. https://github.com/fchollet/keras/blob/master/keras/datasets.... What's a better alternative.
Not sure what you mean - I meant to say this is what my manager did for me as a remote employee. I've worked remotely for about 4 years, and this manager really made it work better than anyone else because of little things like this.
Eh. I think you're misreading this a bit - it's not about the use of the service, it's about the fact that employees knew the service was being used illegally. So sure, if the manufacturer can be demonstrated to be aiding criminal behavior, then sure.

The fact that a manufacturer doesn't sell direct is another reason to think there's no relation to this case.
> Specifically, unless the probability for evolving a civilization on a habitable-zone planet is less than one in 10 billion trillion, then we are not the first.

Obviously, astronomy theories don't know much about these things, as the sheer number of stars with planets, and planets in the habitable zones, have come as a big surprise to everyone.

But still, can we say or guess anything about the age distribution of these stars and planets, compared to our earth and sun? Is our sun among the oldest or youngest of those stars which have earth-like planets?
Also reading through the comments, there was nothing at all published about "values of the community."
Show HN: “Shut Up, Donny”: Automatically Tell Donald Trump to Delete His Account
It made me mad TBH. I feel like I'm being sold further on their high-tech image instead of given an apology or any recognition of the seriousness of the issue.
Thank you for releasing a project into the wild! :)

Without getting into a long-winded rant about good docs, here are some things that you could do on your page:

Make it clear what your library adds over Bootstrap. There are a lot of similar sorts of things out there, and it isn't immediately obvious what yours brings to the table. Give an executive summary with concrete details of functionality in your introduction, i.e., "This adds better footers, calls-to-action, and useful templates for prototyping not found in vanilla Bootstrap".

Consider embedding the code snippets instead of linking to Github. If you want, embed the snippets as gists or similar, but linking out to Github is a little weird for what should be short example code.

Consider moving the component explanations above the FAQ stuff. It's hard to imagine that people will want to know if they can contribute code or money without having seen the actual product in use.

Best of luck!
I'm not saying that immorality alone will stop many people, but your rationale proves too much, and would stop you from intervening in any immoral act.
I've been using it for at least 6 years and have had a very positive experience. It's been a set-it-and-never-think-about-it experience for the most part.

I think I avoided the issues that you have just do to a nice (accidental) little quirk, though.

I have my Google Voice account associated with my (grandfathered-in) G-Suite address, and Project Fi only allows you to sign up wiht a Gmail address. Therefore, I was able to port my old Verizon number to my @gmail address (which rarely gets used) that's associated with Project Fi and keep my GVoice number where it was, at my G-Suite address.

So I'm currently using my Nexus 5X on Project Fi with both my carrier number (which I've had for probably 15 years now) and with my GVoice number (which I've had for 6+).
I was trying to explain this to someone ~10 years younger than me the other day. I was telling them about how, when I was in high school (late 90s) I had a portable minidisc player/recorder. In so many ways, listening to music on that device was better than listening to it on Spotfiy + smartphone, even despite the obvious advantages.

Something about holding music in your hands, feeling a drive seek the next track, pressing physical buttons to control playback -- it all feels terrific, and I didn't realize until this conversation that there's a whole generation who hasn't experienced that.

BTW those minidisc players still go for $200-400 on ebay!
That was always an interesting project. Too bad it's not maintained.
For what it's worth the general sentiment on UK military sites and forums is that the guy hasn't got a fucking clue what he's talking about and most seem to reckon someone's upset him or he's been passed up for promotion or something and is retaliating by writing sensationalised shite that makes the Navy look bad.
More I read about such stuff, more the idea of a "decentralized" financial system with "no trusted party" makes sense. Fiat has lot's of problems in this globalization. It was never meant to be used globally. It's time we upgrade! It's time for bitcoin.
No, it was a Wild-Ass-Guess based on my instinctial knowledge of how money they are moving around yearly and how much is likely fraud.

To add a perspective: They paid about a penalty for about a 1/1000th of the money they move around. What's your guesstimate for how much of WU money is based on fraudulent transfers?
I recently moved from github pages to http://netlify.com.

And wow everything was just so easy, 5 minutes I had migrated my static site, custom domain and set up SSL.

Their documentation and customer support was fantastic.
One of their better shows last year was Marcella [1], the British show from the guy who wrote the original The Bridge (Broen/Bron).

(If you liked Trapped, make sure you check out Baltasar Kormákur's [2] other non-Hollywood work. 101 Reykjavik and Jar City are particularly good. I also liked The Sea.)

I love that they're pulling in quality indie/foreign films such as Rams [3], but these are few and far apart. There are so many superb "arthouse" films out there that they could offer. I wish someone would sponsor the digitalization of older "out of print" works that now only survives on old, out-of-production DVDs or on VHS. I wanted to find a few of Icelandic director Friðrik Þór Friðriksson's films (Children of Nature is one of my all-time favourites), but they're not available anywhere. I was hopeful for Filmstruck [4], but their selection is very limited.

Good point: a moderately advanced civilization is likely to have no high-power baseband communication. Only intentional alien interstellar transmissions are likely to be powerful enough and decodable.

Earth has made several intentional transmissions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_SETI) but it's unclear if we'll send any more, because they might attract hostile aliens.
Ironically, you can target all platforms instantly already. With nothing but a text editor. It's called the web.
The method to avoid overfitting was to use the model with the lowest validation loss, not training loss. I was able to change the track around my house with reasonable success. I think would need many more example turns in the training data to become robust.
Western Union has also been aiding international fraud from romance scammers etc. Even though they know the sources are suspicious they still let people send large amounts of money to countries like Ghana and Nigeria.
The golden age of scamming started when a Nigerian scammer sold a fictional airport to a bank director in Brazil for $242 million.
I thought the trick with this one was to sum all the entries and subtract the sum of 0 to N-2. The remainder is the duplicate entry.

It's just a trick though; I don't think skill in coming up with these is particularly well-correlated with being a good programmer, and for that reason Google claims not to do teasers like this any more.
No. But, very possibly, those who sell guns should be penalized when those guns are used in an illegal manner - given due process, etc etc.
After July she should start fitting into things a lot easier. I am sure Silicon Valley is wide enough as it is though.
npm has its own special problems. disclaimer: what I'm talking about in this post is at least six months old, which in node/npm/js world is ancient history.

> it finds modules in a bottom-up hierarchical fashion. That allows a single app or module to use modules that in turn use different versions of other modules, and not to worry about what other modules are doing

To my understanding, if your app transitively depends on package foo-1.2 in thirty different places [0], there will be thirty copies of foo-1.2 on disk under node_modules/ . Each package reads its very own copy of foo-1.2 when it require()s foo.

On a large app, that adds up to a lot of inodes ("why does it say my filesystem is full? there's only 10G of stuff on my 80G partition!" because it's used up all its inodes, not its bytes.) and a _lot_ of unnecessary I/O. The second through thirtieth copies of foo-1.2 don't come from the kernel's block cache "for free", they come from spinning rust (or if you're lucky, the dwindling number of IOps your SSD can choke out. Do you pay money for provisioned IOps?).

[0] and thirty is a lowball number for some projects, especially given the community's preference to require "leftpad" or whatever instead of writing a couple lines in their own projects
Hi Leesalminen - thanks for the comment.

People report about 3 days to feel fairly comfortable on it.

As for the subscription, there will be a new theme every month, so that provides a little recurring value.

The problem I ran into with version 1 and 1.5, which just cost a buck or two upfront, was that with that business model, it takes a lot of customers to pay off continuing development costs (because the customer is essentially getting lifetime updates, all for a buck or two). And it leaves little money for customer acquisition (ie marketing).

So my hope was to:
a) Provide a way to let people try the keyboard for free (which Apple's App Store policies don't make very easy to do), and
b) Fund continued development so I can keep adding good features.

I admit I'm not sure I have the right pricing model, but I'm going to give it a try and see how it goes, then adjust from there. :) Pricing per feature might work, though I hate to keep upselling people, and Apple does not allow In-App Purchases to be in the keyboard area, so it doesn't work quite as well as in a normal app. Thanks for trying it!

Congratulations on subscribing to this old piece of fake news. The allegations have been debunked elsewhere, I'll leave finding that as an exercise to the reader.

But really, the main thing here is that ACC was gay, and the paedophilia slander was a way to tarnish his name, initiated by anti-gay militants, in a time when being gay was not culturally okay. You're wading through a very disgusting brew of lies here.

I've also noticed that those who subscribe to the ACC "paedophilia" controversy tend themselves to be religious, conservative, or with an anti-gay streak (either conscious or subconscious) - in other words, are primed by their own biases to see the world in their own image. But perhaps that's just my limited sample size.
Anything you could write in less than a half hour.

Lets take fizzbuzz for example. These types of problems almost always require manipulating strings and dumping them to the console in the simplest scenario possible. Usually the main method or equivalent in a console program.

It would be easy as hell except they don't let you use google or an IDE, so you need to memorize the syntax for the main method and string manipulation.

1) In real life you almost never write directly to the console.
2) In real life, you never manipulate strings using sub-string or regex really... In fact the only time I do this a lot is for terrible reasons in bad code.
2) Main method? If your real life app even has one it was written by the first guy 10 years ago and is 3 lines long, just some function that looks like this:

var app= new BootStrapMainApp();
app.run();
logger.log("App crashed if we get here");
If you don't mind me asking, in what field were the jobs? Does making a game give you much credit out of the game industry?

I hear some say game development is the hardest field in software, but I'm not sure recruiters in say web development sees much of a bridge between the two!
But at the end of the day, you're not restoring anything if you're dead due to lack of food, water, or shelter, or violent action by someone else. That's what's confusing me about your view, here.

There's a reason these basics are at the very base of Maslow's hierarchy[1], and that's because without them, such niceties as polite society aren't possible. It would be foolish to not concentrate on having the basics available.

I tried it, but I found you have to manually run the garbage collector and the quick load times are due to local caching on low-density biodegradable WORM media cartridges. The transport protocol is only simplex and the packet transit time (can't even call it a ping time because it's simplex) is atrocious (there is a send() function but nonce tokens require in-app purchases).
The current policy proposals being floated since the election are moving in the opposite direction to mitigating those effects.
Could someone please explain why this might be useful? It seems like something that a crypto developer might like but if I'm developing something innocuous why would it matter if it runs inside a container?
Actually, no -- if you look into that specific case the jury awarded >$2m which was immediately reduced to $670k by the judge, and then settled out of court for a presumably smaller amount. Nearly all of it went to medical bills for this lady whose skin and genitalia had been burned entirely through by the near-boiling liquid.

The "crazy lady gets insane punitive windfall for being too stupid to know that hot coffee is hot" was a PR effort by McDonald's and other firms in a (successful) attempt to get the laws changed so that such suits would be harder to bring in the future.
