Which is not Google's business. Google does not have the obligation to make your job easier. As a browser vendor, however, it does have the obligation to protect its users.

> But some of reaction is also implicitly that using a good password was always a good measure before or after this change. Hence saying something is "insecure" outright is somewhat bullyish on Google's part. Of course it's insecure, so is using a car.

There is no such thing as absolute security. That does not mean that security is a meaningless adjective. Sending passwords over unencrypted HTTP is demonstrably less secure than sending over HTTPS - it opens up the user account to compromise from any network host anywhere on the path from them to your server.
That all sounds oddly similar to a bunch of reasoning going on in the FOSS world right now.

I think he was talking about this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-28_Sarmat
I personally think he should seek with his solicitor if there is a way to claim that the bank withhold his legally acquired money for 3 months and have them pay way more than the around £9k they are trying to get away with.

Barclays is bad with legalities I had issues with them in the past but I guess every bank is... They asked me to come in and proof my address while I have an account with them for over 10 years, money comes in and out every month from my employer, I got a credit card with them as well etc etc and generally I bank with them for 10 years without ever doing anything suspicious... I found it very odd that they asked me to go in and verify me address after that long... then I read online they've done it to many others including a guy working as a bank manager with them.

Yes Symbian C++ was a pain and the Codewarrior replaced by Eclipse with CDT (attempt 1), replaced by Carbide (Eclipse CDT attempt 2), augmented with PIPS, extended with Qt, on top of Perl and BASH scripts wasn't very fun to use, if at all.

Recall that Nokia blog post that was quickly removed, about only devs that get paid would develop for Symbian?

When version 3 came out I was expecting Symbian C++ would be replaced by proper C++, given the overhaul the system got for security support.

Yet, the OS itself with its mikro-kernel architecture, C++ instead of C, task based architecture and security model was quite interesting from OS architecture point of view.

The updated Belle version was quite a joy to use on my Nokia C6-01.

I feel your pain. In my case, after being stranded in a foreign country with none of my cards working despite giving the bank advance notice of where and when I'd be abroad, I was told on the phone that an email hadn't gone through from the customer service rep I'd spoken with to the relevant security team. If I could call back on Monday when the security team was in, they could get it all sorted out for me.

I was on holiday for a long weekend, Thursday-Tuesday. It was Friday evening when I called them.

> How about they disrupt this ridiculous SSL certificate market instead?

They have. It's called Let's Encrypt, which is sponsored by (among many other companies) Google.

> But anyway, not like we have a choice right!

No. You do not. Browsers are already beginning to shut off certain features (like location access) for non-HTTPS sites, and HTTP/2 will only be implemented for encrypted connections. This has been coming for years, and the industry has made herculean efforts to make the process easy for service providers.

Deal with it. And if you're frustrated? This, of all fora, is not the place for fact-agnostic venting.
This article represents a disingenuous premise.

It's also grossly mis-titiled.

'Wealth' is mostly not generated by speculative investing.

And yes - most 'investing' is luck, but investors already know that.

But declare that some kid who worked his pants off through school, got into a half-decent Uni, and went on to get a high paying job - to his brother, who didn't do much in school, and took a job at their fathers auto-shop earning a respectable but relatively small salary - in terms of 'luck' is just unfair.

Agreed. I recently subscribed to Spotify and I love it.
I agree. I don't think I'm going to tell them until after I moved though :p In any case they are hostgat0r and while the service is good overall, I hear they've been bought and it's not quite as good as it used to be. They gave me SSH, and even moved server when my site was being a bit sluggish (optimized the queries since)... so hmm.

I genuinely don't have bad things to say about the hosting performance itself. But the documentation on their site is so bad, it alone makes me want to move on. Tired of spending hours trying to find the procedure to do this or that. And their live chat tkes forever to reply.

Matter of fact, they require a fee for an external certificate, and then apparently you have to buy a static IP too. So another option is to upgrade the shared hosting plan, to the one that has a SSL bundled in. But.. then it works only on one domain AFAIK, so if my app also has a forum , I still need a second certificate! WHat if I want an API on another subdomain like api.foobar.com ?
Yet another certificate.

So I think I'll just have to move to a Let's Encrypt aware hosting.
It was certainly news to me but it does seem to be well known.

Indeed I had this in the back of my mind when I suggested my idea.

> enforcing 'percentage of paycheck' contracts is difficult. Just see how much trouble people have enforcing alimony or child support payments, even when the case is 100% legally clear.

Alimony and child support payments are forced upon them from above - this is nothing that anybody would willingly agree to if he/she could choose freely. On the other hand: Getting financed to learn something new is something people would willingly agree to. And if after that they earn more than before even after "donating" the 40%, they are still better off than before.

Very rarely will anyone notice your watch. Even speaking as somebody who does look at watches it's awfully hard to tell what somebody's wearing with certainty unless you're pretty close to them. I generally won't comment even when I do spot something interesting, partly because they probably don't want others' attention drawn to it.
> Not to mention, underlying my sentiment in my comments here, is that basically EVERY website out there can be broken. We hear about this every day now, Yahoo, Dropbox, and on and on.

Yes. They can. By putting in a substantial effort, in order to break big sites, which probably isn't worth it for the small fry. But if you're not using SSL, they don't need to put in the effort on site-specific exploits - they just need to be listening on the public wi-fi.

> So on those smaller "hobby" / community sites it should be a given that using good passwords and precautions is necessary, as it always has been and a lot of people in my audience use dummy emails and tend to shy away from real names, etc.

Ummmm.... what exact hobby/community sites are you talking here? Judging by most studies on the matter, I think you have an inflated opinion of your users' security practices.

The quote about plutonium comes from Jeremy Bernstein, on edge.org:

Jeremy Bernstein

Professor Emeritus, Stevens Institute of Technology; Former Staff Writer, The New Yorker

- https://www.edge.org/response-detail/10660

and:

Bernstein studied at Harvard University, receiving his bachelor's degree in 1951, masters in 1953, and Ph.D. in 1955, on electromagnetic properties of deuterium, under Julian Schwinger. As a theoretical physicist, he worked on elementary particle physics and cosmology. A summer spent in Los Alamos led to a position at the Institute for Advanced Study.[2] In 1962 he became a faculty member at New York University, moving to become a professor of physics at Stevens Institute of Technology in 1967, a position that he continues to hold as Professor Emeritus.[3] He has held adjunct or visiting positions at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, CERN, Oxford, the University of Islamabad, and the Ecole Polytechnique.[4]

He was also involved in Project Orion, investigating the potential for nuclear pulse propulsion for use in space travel.

I didn't check wikipedia's references, but it looks to be worth more than the side-eye.
Yes it's become very clear to me recently that to fall asleep more consistently I have to quit fiddling on the PC AND have to stop reading the iPad a good hour before sleep. (edit: basically, have to get into a "disengage" mode just relax and watch the telly or the Chromecast :) ..)

Oddly enough then, a TV screen just 2m away is fine, but reading on the iPad close to my face isn't and will keep me awake.

So I think the recipe for better sleep schedule is a combination of wllingly disengaging from the mental activity involved even in light browsing, as well as the light exposure. The first is much more significant. Think of it as some "zen" / meditation / "be present" time before bed. A good hour for me. I usually don't even care what's on the telly / chromecast, I watch Twitch and even when the hosts are noisy I can fall asleep.

It' a good time to point out that the f.lux solutions and the one included in iOS is just for comfort and does absolutely SQUAT to help you get to sleep.

TLDR

So disengaging from the dopamine feeding activity that sadly most apps are designed for nowadays, that is the key. A good hour before expected bedtime for me.

And I can really feel it in my body as well, stress settling down. Tip: put a heavy blanket on your lap to help you unwind, the pressure and warmth stresses you down.

The KEY here that seems to be missed is that the light exposure late at night is related to the mental activity, often dopamine inducing activity of surfing or playing games. Think about it, why else would you expose yourself to a glaring light late in the evening? WHat purpose? The only reason we do so is to scroll the Twitter feed, read the news, click yet another link to another webpage, and on and on.
The question is, whether they were covering it up a real problem there, or they just wanted to avoid some idiot higher-up completely overblowing the importance of a single incident. I can somewhat understand their thinking if the latter was the case, given that overblowing stuff way beyond their importance is what politicians do as a part of their jobs.
Thanks for your elaborated response :)

I had understood how it could be placed according to their business model but wasn't considering benefits for their phone's OS ecosystem (battery saving) which is also clearly important. I don't like this coming at users expence though.

People don't actually know what they're sharing and there seems to be no concern and will about informing them in a practical and functional way. We already know that EULAs, Disclaimers, etc are broken as they miss their main target: informing clearly the common individual. It's a shame companies are continuing to explore this more and more.

I can also foresee this app security model ending up a big mess if we consider mantaining old android versions app permissions model compatibilities plus all of what it is becoming.
Ask HN: Competitive wages in elected posts, Ranked list voting, Voting tests?
The technology of governance moves at a snails pace.Voting only works well when there's good candidates to choose from. Giving a ranked list instead of a single name honors the intention of the voter better than a single name. Combining everyone's ranked lists gives you a winner that everyone likes, instead of a polarizing winner that half hate and half like.

Paying candidates a competitive wage with the private sector, and the chance for financial growth in the position should attract better candidates.

You wouldn't let an unqualified surgeon operate on your body, so why are unqualified voters allowed to work on your democracy? Voting tests are dangerous, because they can be written to disenfranchise people. We've figured out fair tests for all other kinds of professional licensing, so there should be no reason we can't figure out a fair test for voting. I made a short video about this topic.

Avoiding the pitfalls such as an unfair test, or other; This should create a pool of better candidates, selected through a better voting system by better voters.

The question is, how do you repatriate a system that has been captured.

"I doubt the top 1% got rich by insider trading."

First - there is tons of 'insider trading' going on. It's easy to do, and hard to prove.

Second - though maybe not 'insider' in the illegal sense - but once you have a lot of wealth, you have access to information and systems that others do not.

Warren Buffet made huge bank of a loan to Goldman during the crises. He was one of the few to have the cash and the reputation. Buffet can take advantage of so many situations that very few others can. So that's a lot of leverage.

I'm not saying anything against them, but big finance is an 'insiders game'.

Node would be the last place I'd look for a good solution in. Not sure if there was some progress recently, but it was hell some time back. Modules were huge, taking thousands of other modules with them, majority of those being duplicates. There was no deduplication, no version wildcards I believe either. It wouldn't even work with some tools because the path would end up being hundreds of characters long.

> How is this different to a student loan

* Student loan is "poor student vs. large bank". My suggestion is "peers finance peer".

* Student loan have to be paid back completely (with interest, of course). In my suggestion you pay back a defined percentage of the gross income for a defined number of years. So the risk that the person will only get a badly paying job is not on the person that is financed, but on the financers. This in particular means that the person taking the "loan" will avoids the risk that he will need many more years than originally anticipated to pay back the "loan".
