I don't think it's illegal or wrong to have that search, those mistakes are made by developers who aren't paying attention to security, and from experience those leaks will never be resolved UNTIL they get widely exposed, until then, lots of those people will just shrug it off.. you're actually doing a favour to the users who depend on those developers, you never know when the next leak will be and it might be stopped by forcing the developers to fix it. it's not about you, your service, nor the companies, developers who are leaking secrets like that, it's about the end users and people who are affected, my two cents, put the search back, expose it, it's already exposed and probably black hats already have the secrets and don't want to notify the devs of their mistakes. anyone else who disagrees with you doesn't really understand how big this is, your service is amazing and I totally appreciate the work you did, if someone thinks you're "getting attention" or "evil" they really are not looking at the big picture, the "evil" ones are the people who already have that leaked data and keep it for their personal use.
Its not easier for sure, but it is more reliable and harder to mess up by making a single character mistake.

This is all fun, but I think knowing how to apply knowledge is an important part. Many don't have a problem with electrons and pulleys, but put a real world example and they're out of their wits compared to someone who uses to dead reckoning.

Does it realistically matter if you don't use a correct address?

I ask because I have a number of domains still registered to an old home address. I have never bothered to update them due to laziness and privacy concerns - but the domains keep working.

There has never been an attempt to verify the address.
So what do you do when the master for one of your shards fails? Do you drop all incoming writes for the shard on the floor? Or do you fail over to the shard's slave and promote the slave to the new master?

Since you said you don't have "auto healing HA" I assume you don't fail over, but discard/deny incoming writes until the master comes back up.

This is a valid approach, but, I don't see how it contradicts what I said at all:

- I said you can't get full ACID and HA failover at the same time with postgres

- Your scheme does not provide HA failover

I explicitly said that if you can forgo either full ACID or HA in case of a failure, postgres is fine.
Or you know, the costs have fallen and the flexibility & capability automation has improved.
Here is a summary of what is said in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack regarding the 16.04.x versions

1. If you are happy with how Ubuntu 16.04 works for you, you get to keep it and you receive support until 2021.

2. With Ubuntu 16.04.2, you get the option to switch to a new path of updated Linux kernels. If you do so, your Linux kernel will get updated every six months, until 2021.

For the first update with Ubuntu 16.04.2, you can enable to get the 4.8 kernel that was used/tested in development version of Ubuntu 16.10.

In the subsequent update with Ubuntu 16.04.3 (around July 2017), you will be updated to that Linux kernel that was used/tested in Ubuntu 17.04 (to be released in April 2017).
And so on.

The command to switch you to the new path of updated kernels (updated every six months), is

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04
That is a loaded question, but still the answer is "of course".

If ICANN can seize a domain for a clerical error, they can seize one for a crime. If measured by the American standard of innocence first, then a 3rd party would make & prove their claim and the 3rd party would have the domain seized or defend themselves.

Also, I could beat the current system with a gmail account and a vanilla visa gift card.

What about this loaded question, which is also as absurd:

Shouldn't piracy claims and "alleged" victims of revenge-porn post and a continually update their contact info publicly online. Should you be able to hide behind anonymity(1).

1. There is a difference between anonymity, and non-public.
Just say that you're scared of roaming charges so you left it at home. Just make sure there's some truth to that statement because lying to a border guard is a very bad idea.
Yet public it is.
The way we do it for azure app services is to store most keys in the "application settings" section of the portal so most deployed connection strings, api keys, oauth2 credentials etc only exist in config files for local development and for everything else they are defined in the portal. You can lock down access to the portal and app services to only people who will be managing them (in a larger shop than us, dev ops) so developers wouldn't even have the keys to the kingdom. There are probably better ways to do this, but it has gotten us away from keys in config files.

While I understand the sentiment, the author's analogy is bit off. ICANN is not the maffia, they are however in effect an institutional bureaucracy. Throwing a Medium hissy fit probably won't make them move any faster to resolve this.

There is something specifically that they're looking for, but it's not on your device. It's your reaction. It's your non-compliance as an excuse to discriminate against you. They can't actually admit that they're discriminating against dark skinned people, or people they overheard making thoughtcrime comments while in line, but they can make intrusive demands and then bust your ass when you don't comply quickly or enthusiastically enough. "Papers please" was never really about the papers.
Mould Manifesto (1958)
The barrier of entry s that Google and Facebook can throw much more data at a problem (even design future iterations of their products so that they gather the necessary big chunks). They can get away with better trained, more robust and generally simpler models with less concerns about overfitting (or using and abusing your model too much to match your data).
And that's generally a result of planning decisions which promote housing scarcity. These decisions cause a great deal of harm.

Also, consider that many people who own cars probably can't afford them. How many folks at buy here pay here lots are entering in to horrifically damaging contracts out of desperation and not prudence?

> after a few centuries of a Chernobyl every ten years... significant areas within nuclear countries uninhabitable...

Ater 1000 years of a Chernobyl every ten years - and a Chernobyl every 10 years is completely unrealistic, given that it took a totally obsolete generator design and ridiculous levels of human error for us to get one, 30 years ago - the uninhabitable area based on the widest Chernobyl exclusion zone, would be 0.05% about 1/2000th of the surface of the Earth.

That assumes no contraction of the exclusion zones as radioactivity tapers off, which is highly unrealistic as there's already a push to start making use of parts of the Chernobyl exclusion zone (or for that matter that Chernobyl itself continued to produce electricity until 2000 before the last reactor was shut down) - the issue is less regular radioactive levels in normal conditions as risks involved in releasing sequested radioactive material (e.g. forest fires will throw radioactive material into the air for many of the same reasons why coal is so nasty).

> affecting fauna migrations and neighboring countries

Overall effect on fauna of Chernobyl has been positive: As it happens humans are much worse for the fauna than the radiation. Obviously there are issues, but they're dwarfed by the incursion of humans on animal habitats - the area surrounding Chernobyl has seen rapid increases in populations of a wide range of fauna as human activity ceased.

There is an impact on humans from contamination of fauna that does not kill the animals but makes them unsafe for consumption in some circumstances, as I've addressed elsewhere, and that's not non-trivial but it's a far more short-lived issue than the contamination of the site itself. That is also the main effect on neighboring countries (spread of Cesium etc.)
I would say that the net positive having this information provides the ICANN is not outweighed by the net negative to website owners (hassle to manage admin if you own 100s of domains like some superusers here do, privacy concerns, identity theft, physical intimidation)
(Cockroach Labs CTO) CockroachDB provides two transaction isolation levels: SERIALIZABLE, which is our default and the highest of the four standard SQL isolation levels, and SNAPSHOT, which is a slightly weaker mode similar to (but not quite the same as) REPEATABLE READ. Unlike most databases which default to lower isolation modes like REPEATABLE READ or READ COMMITTED, we default to our highest setting because we don't think you should have to think about which anomalies are allowed by different modes, and we don't want to trade consistency for performance unless the application opts in.

All transaction interactions are localized to particular keys, so other transactions can proceed normally while there is contention in an unrelated part of the database.

Additionally, just because your english isn't so good doesn't mean you don't know the subject you are writing about. Unless your thesis is about English Literature, then I agree with the article.

I had a colleague who could barely write anything, but he was so outstanding in Math, that the professor asked him politely not to attend the classes anymore. His thesis was impossible to read but he still got the best marks.

Your intelligence and abilities to understand and master a subject have nothing to do with how well you write/speak.

It is however crucial to learn to write and speak properly in the longterm, especially if you decide to work/live in that country.

Ask HN: What I need to know before developing a VR application
Hi all, sorry if this is already asked, I'm really interested in using VR/AR to design things. What is the needed knowledge pool of VR coding skills I need before I or perhaps my future team can start developing applications for: manipulating objects in 3D, doing calculations based upon built models, extracting all kind of output documents, reports, BOMs, tech data sheets etc. from VR project? The business I'm aiming at is electrical systems design for power plants. I design other plants too, but thermal powerplants are most complex in my scope of work. I see how VR would be helpful and made my and other's designers lives easier and more efficient. For coding knowledge consider me tabula rasa although I have beginners understanding of several industrial automation systems. Thank you.

>it's not about punishing you

Actually it is, here from the article.

>We agree with most of the policies advocates like Piatowski want, including the “sticks” like parking and congestion fees—but not the way they’re being described.

They're saying that the punishment is fine, just the messaging is wrong. If actual politicians on the left start trying this what do you think Republicans are going to say?
"City liberals think the way you live is wrong and are trying to tax you into living like they do."
Would the republicans saying that even be wrong? I don't think so, their messaging works because it's true, the messaging in this article won't because it's a lie. Hence why I call this a non-starter. Liberals can do better.

I absolutely agree. Most of the negative comments on here are nothing more than apologists for incompetence. Like with all security research the solution is to expose the defect to the world. If people didn't want their passwords and keys exposed to the world then they shouldn't put them on public github for all the world to see.

It would be more helpful though if such a search engine could auto create an issue on github when exposed secrets come up in a search result.

This could also be phrased as "parking lots for gas stations, parking lots for grocery stores, parking lots for restaurants, parking lots for office parks". Most of those businesses, in the US, are a huge lot with one building in the middle of a sea of asphalt.

Children can walk, or can indeed ride on bikes with parents (I see this now and then where I live, and much more in more cycle-friendly places). They can ride their own bikes, even, in places where drivers aren't allowed to run over cyclists and walkers with something near impunity (which sadly is most of the world). The idea that children have to be ferried around in a car has the billions of people who raise families without a car as a counterexample.

I restrict prospective employers to those within about a 5-10 mile radius of my home, or a 20 minute walk or cycle from rail, but I also am a more competent cyclist than most. At one point my employer was 12 miles away, but that was fine because there was a surprisingly good bike route (shockingly, in LA of all places). I rode down the beach from Santa Monica to El Segundo - the only thing that really made that distance worthwhile. This does contradict what I said about ten mile commutes, I realize, but then most people think ten miles is an absurd distance to cycle.

I was also fortunate enough to be at an employer affected by California's Parking Cashout law, meaning I got the cost of the parking I wasn't using in my paycheck. Not wasting my life on 405 was another big incentive.
I am interested in this idea posited in the post:

"We shouldn’t require third parties such as homebuilders or renters or local businesses to subsidize car travel and parking. This isn’t about creating a “disincentive for car use,” but, as a matter of fairness and practicality, dropping what have essentially been subsidies for financially and socially expensive and dangerous behavior."

They don't mention how how third parties are subsidizing car travel and parking but I am assuming they are talking about taxes no? I agree with this, if I live where I don't need to own a car then I understand not wanting to pay the same taxes towards roads as someone who uses a car every day.

However part of my tax dollar that subsidizes those roads also goes to commercial traffic that brings my food and essentials into the city where I might live and shop. How do you implement this without increasing the costs of goods even further in our cities? The delivery costs of goods into cities already makes those same good more expensive in a city with the current pricing scheme.
7 Rules for Maintaining a Creative Business Culture
> The same should apply to racism, sexism, etc.

The problem is that what is considered as racism, sexism, bad language etc. is very different in different cultures. So for example I know a person of Russian descent who says things that are appropriate in Russia, but considered as sexist in Germany (not to even start talking about the US). Or a person from Croatia whose swearing (in German) was very distinct. But he really insisted that it is very harmless in comparison how he would express things in Croatian (he insisted we really don't want to know details).
That doesn't sound like a very well thought out argument. There's such a thing as a learning curve.
Great, but then we are going to stop subsidizing cities as well. No more state or federal aid dollars. No more Federal Highway Trust Fund dollars for mass transit projects in cities.
Analog as in analog electrical signals, almost surely.

It's not appealing to a hits-driven business.
A lot of companies have policy to always include license documents in specific place where customer can see it.

Very few companies are fine to write "fuck" in documents that reaches customers. Very few are fine to have no license attached to software.

A lot of companies distribute unmodified GPL software and have no issue with including the GPL licensing text (and source code) in ways that reaches customers.

Zuck has set his eyes on the presidency, this is all going to lead to his announcement in 2 years.
I already updated my machine with the latest version. I think there is nothing better out there for users that use not only git but mercurial or legacy systems like svn.
I thought the same thing once I read the quote before & after. So I looked at the headline again and decided the wording was accurate but I'd gotten the wrong idea about it's meaning. The headline could say "AI monitoring of private messages", that might have cleared up one minor angle on it for me. But whatevs I suppose, headlines are misleading all the time, that's why you always have to read the article, right?

I also wondered whether it's possible this edit doesn't mean what people are assuming it means. I have no doubt whatsoever about Facebook monitoring private channels via AI or humans. But, technically, it's speculating to say Zuck's edit is motivated by the desire to hide the activity while doing it anyway. It could mean they are choosing against doing it in some form or completely. It could mean there are legal problems with the monitoring or the announcement of monitoring. It could mean there are business concerns with publicizing, that the loss of money could outweigh the loss of trust. Who knows? But it's possible (though slim) this edit is a good thing for privacy. It's also possible (and likely) that this is bad for privacy, but Zuck can't be as transparent as he truly wants to be.
