Anyone who uses godaddy add 2FA now and i mean now.

This is my story

I enabled 2FA i don't why. I think i read somewhere, how someone got there domains stoled.

Last month ago, I got a text message out of the blue, I googled the number and it was godaddy service.

So this person had got my username and password in godaddy and hit the 2FA, godaddy uses customer IDs and the password i use was a old password but one i didn't use in any other service.

So someone is running through all the customers Id numbers with a password dictonary because i knew this password was on one of those leaked password dictionaries.

They can do this because the godaddy site doesn't lock the account out for 24 hours after 5 wrong times. The hacker can try different combinations multiple times.

This is a major flaw on there site.
and got an A+

While your criticisms about what the author's explanation lacks or does not consider are appreciated, I think this is a wonderful opportunity for you to put forth your own understanding! I know very little about the topic and thus found the article interesting. I would happily learn more.
Cool. Apple does need such a tool in their ecosystem. The problem is that Apple isn't really well regarded in terms of their cloud tools. Will be interesting to see if they nurture it or kill it.
What is a normal weight for a burger pattie? 85g sounds on the small side.
>We’re still writing this next chapter of Medium. Our members program is currently in limited release, but we’ll open up to more readers soon. So click the button below, and we’ll notify you as soon as you can join.

It really rubs me the wrong way that I have to ask to be notified when medium will be ready for me to pay for this service.
It's not about LTV of your customers for you. This could easily be interpreted as 'when given a chance to try the product without a subscription a large percentage of the trials led nowhere'. That you get a larger LTV out of an automatic conversion is a given, it would be extremely surprising if that were not the case.

I would suggest that you try to get to the point where your LTV of customers trying one paid/free sample and then converting into regular paying customers or subscribers is proof that the product works rather than to get into the bin where the unsubscribe barrier is what keeps you going.
I once benchmarked reads with `mmap` vs `read` (http://stackoverflow.com/a/39196499/1084774) . mmap starts winning big time once the file is >= 16KiB. Copying should have similar performance characteristics.
Perhaps, but in today's world if you tell a company you find something offensive they're likely to listen (for fear of PR fallout). Admittedly, I find all ads offensive (to my time) so it's disingenuous but it works—for now—so I'll keep doing it.
Sorry, you are right. I said 'easier to use' when I should have said 'can accomplish more with the same effort.'
If I wanted to start a scammy business running on recurring subscription I wouldn't have gone into all the trouble of developing new instant coffee ;)

Obviously, we want to build a product that we and our subscribers love and choose to keep subscribing. Right now we have a lot of them.

The biggest thing with the subscription is clear CAC vs. LTV. With our current model this equation works and we can profitably acquire new customers. This allows us to grow, make the product better and bring the cost down.
Well not all platforms are created equal... it's why you have fall-backs to "Stable but not shiny" for platforms you don't support... or platforms you don't know supports New Shiney Thing (tm).

If you know browser X, Y and Z support HTML5 video - because that's your actively supported platforms... but someone says I'm browser 6... do you push HTML5 video? Or do you fall back to stuff you know works but is years old tech?

If you don't know what Browser 6 is... then you have 2 options: Safe options or Feature Detection.

Safe option: I don't know if you can read HTML5... so I'm going to serve you HTML like it's 1999.

Feature Detection: I'm going to go out of my way to see if you can support random new technologies that I'm using. Can use HTML5? You can? Oh... Here's your scripts... or... You can't? Here's HTML like it's 1999.

The first option is a lot easier. "Unknown? You get 'Safe' tech that's not shiny, optimized or best-of-breed. Known? You get stuff we said we support on platforms we say we support".

Second option requires testing and blending the technology stack based on detected features. Possible - because plenty of people do it - but it's definitely not as easy to support dozens of techs in many many more possible combinations.

It looks like MS took Door #1.

Are you saying you would ship HTML5 code to platforms you don't know support HTML5? Because... that sounds like a recipe to send "broken" code to users because "everything should work the same everywhere" which is something that happens... never.
Stack 2 walls on top of each other! And laid that with 2 walls you'll be double effective. Then convince everyone needs it. And extend that idea from there!
Why does that bug you? How else are they supposed to notify you without you opting in to be notified?

Or, if what you're insulted by is having to pay, how does this differ than being notified about other paid products and services e.g. the launch of the next Google Pixel phone?
Ok it'll never be 1 clock cycle. But it sure can be better than milliseconds!
I wonder if this will provide a benefit in a resource constrained environment. I run the official Gitlab Docker/gitlab-ce container in a host with a J1900 processor and 4GB RAM and it is barely usable. Most pages timeout on the first load.

At present it looks like it hasn't been updated since 2015.
Actually, I would not. MS is under no obligation to support anything other than their own platforms. But if it works it should work well rather than be effectively cripple-ware.
How Bitcoin's Market Dominance Is Being Challenged
I'm with you on the cheese. I've only found one vegan cheese that I like, it's Follow Your Heart Provolone. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a shot! Great replacement on pizza, burgers.
I might be more fair to compare their $19 Impossible Burger with their $15 Hamburger rather than an In-N-Out burger. I haven't tasted an Impossible Burger (yet) but I'd be more than happy to pay the extra $4 if its "almost identical in taste to a good beef burger".

Boost your chances of obtaining a summer internship
Thanks! That makes a lot of sense.

This is intended to be an online service geared towards a humanitarian cause. Your reference about mocking things up and asking people is a really good one. I've been validating the idea by asking people questions through interviews and surveys and so far I have a good feeling about it. I'd be doing mockup validations too but as this is a service and not a product I may defer it for a bit (or not).

I'm with you on not wanting to create a company yet, but I wanted to know how practical is it to accept money into one's personal account? I obviously don't want to risk my personal assets but I also realize creating a company could be unnecessary hassle/expense. I'm trying to sort that confusion.
Cool article, but the Spectrum really only had 7 colours and black. And at the time I hated the Commodore 64's colour palate (and any non ZX Spectrum palate, until I saw the beautiful SAM Coupé's) so I guess it's a matter of preference.
Arbitrary Style Transfer in Real-Time with Adaptive Instance Normalization
That doesn't mean that the majority of their catalog is. Everything they do will be optimized for what they have the most of.
Medium had a beta for subscriptions + monetization tools last year for individual publishers. A few examples:
http://www.poynter.org/2016/facing-shutdowns-and-stagnating-...

The advertising part of the model may have been removed, but I think there's still value in enabling publishers with tools to sell their content directly to readers.
> If you want to be a programmer at 55 still you can't ever lose the hunger to know more, know better and know simpler. Once you lose that edge the technology steamroller keeps on coming closer and closer until you wind up flat doing something else for a living.

Steamroller is an interesting metaphor. Treadmill is a little more common, thinking about the difference is potentially instructive.

Having observed some points between 20something and 55 (if still a good ways off from the latter end), one of the things I've noticed is that I'm no less hungry to know more. I'm possible more hungry -- as my knowledge has grown, I've realized how much more there is that I don't know. But I'm also far more picky and concerned about ROI. I have less patience for learning to keep up with churn; if it's at all possible, I prefer to reserve new learning for new capabilities rather than learning a new way of doing the same thing. Unless it clearly is better and simpler (but if that were so clear, why the proliferation of solutions?)...
All of the difference comes from 1) inlining and 2) avoiding the alignment test. Once you adjust for that it's actually slower.

Regardless of alignment penalties, memcmp always needs to test for alignment so that it doesn't read past the end of a page, causing a segfault. This hack isn't appropriate for general purpose use; only where you know for sure an unaligned read won't overflow a page boundary.
I can't say for sure but rights are really complicated. I mean... if you look at a show like House of Cards, Netflix doesn't even own all the rights for that. It's not just a decision that they can make unilaterally.
They have had similar tools in the past (automator, quartz composer) and they habitually have abandoned them despite of their success. Why are they making this move now?
It's like saying banning handguns would be pointless because bad guys can get guns.

Well: Supply and Demand, if it's harder to get guns, their will be less of them.

In Canada, where there is strict rules around handguns - and they are actually enforced (unlike, say Mexico where they're banned but gov. can't enforce it) - there is a lot less 'handgun related crime' and very few handguns floating around.

(I'm not making an ideological statement about gun laws here, just using it as an example)

Most people don't know how to get around DRM, or consider it 'somewhat immoral' and won't do it.

The idea that 'all content should be free' is an interesting popular intellectual phenom. If you've actually ever created something yourself, and had someone steal it under this ideology, then it really 'brings home' how much it's not a very fair concept at all.

As much as I hate Disney - if they make some dumb film - it's theirs to sell and control. That film is not public property.

People don't want to pay for stuff, and they don't want ads (i.e. ad blockers) - well - the 'long run' economic case is that there is no content. And there is no way around this (i.e. some make the argument that bands should just give away their music and make their money playing live, but this is not realistic for 99.9% of creations)

In the 'creative economy' - where even software is a creative function - then stuff can't be free.

Firefox is only possible because Google gives them money - from their ads.

Can DRM and excessive IP protections hurt everyone - absolutely. But that does't mean they are not necessary.

The #1 issue in the creative economy going forward relates to this - how we can effectively, responsibly and fairly manage IP. We have to deal with it, we can't take the naive position that 'all the stuff should be free to me because I don't want to pay for it'.
What you're describing sounds difficult, but ultimately something that can be managed. By contrast I would be concerned about the amount of time a lot of people of all ages spend on cells for RSI reasons alone. When you add a teenage sense of risk and impulse control, things like the SnapChat leaks are notable only for their relative rarity.

Then you have this kind of endemic bullshit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13930707
Yeah... I just can't be bothered by carrying those around anymore.
I haven't read the book. What's the gist of the recommendations for addressing those issues? SaferCPlusPlus addresses the signed/unsigned issue by providing compatible substitutes[1] for "int" and "size_t" that automatically handle it. And it addresses the integer underflow/overflow issue by recommending another compatible "int" substitute[2] and introducing the concept (but not yet the implementation) of "quarantined" types for untrusted input values.

This is why I think my current goal of a pivot from 10+ year senior sysadmin to data science (just starting up my BS in it) will make me an ideal data scientist. I already understand the issues between devs, engineers and the C-suite. I already understand the backend infrastructure and security setups, and if they don't exist I understand how to set them up and what that involves.

I also am hoping to avoid the scenario the article states in which the data scientist has only learned how to work on academic data sets. That's not good enough for me. I intend to work with real world data sets, and am currently angling to focus on financial and political ones for maximum ROI to myself as I learn.

Primarily though, I think it's a failure of CTO's/CIO's to fullfil the role of mediator between the board room and C-level and the rest of the company. I've seen it time and time again in IT. The guru who wants to fix problems is stuck, out of their element, trying to convince the C's to go down path X. It's a management issue. In the end, it seems to me that the end result of a data scientist is to give the CTO/CIO the one paragraph summary that gives the rest of the C's or the board the insight they need to advance the business interests. I'm still learning though, so I may change my mind about that.
Call me pessimistic, but how likely is this acquisition by Apple going to result in them integrating it directly into iOS versus completely shutting down in the future?

Perhaps Apple is using the acquisition strategy as a method to shut down an app getting around iOS's "preferred workflow" and UX model. Sort of a strategy taken by Microsoft, Google, and Apple whereby they buy competitors, claim to leave the service running, but ultimately shut them down so it doesn't compete with their main product (see: Sunrise, Acompli, Sparrow, Timely, etc.)
I'd think something like:

:%s/word1\(.*\)word2$/word3\1word4/

Over each line in the whole file, search for word 1 and word 2 (which is at the end of the file), separated by arbitrary non-newline characters, and change them to word3 and word4.
The dominance of a distribution platform is largely determined by the content it offers. If you aren't willing to play ball but the competition is, guess who gets the content?
Note that many of the companies say they have withdrawn "non-search" ads. For many advertizers, that could be a tiny fraction of their budget.
Workflow isn't a cloud tool – it's an automation tool for iOS.
Yeah, GMO yeast
"Providing hundreds of actions that interact with the apps and content on your device, Workflow opens up infinite possibilities of what you can do with your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch."

Interesting that Apple is looking at meta-tools ordinary users can program to organise their workflow over more applications. [0]

Congrats to the Workflow team!
Try it and see!
I think you're making a great point - coffee is the legal drug at the moment. Personally, I drink coffee for the flavor, not for the caffeine. I'm a big fan of high-quality decaf coffee and it's something we're looking to do with Sudden.
That's a pretty big "what if" I'm not willing to grant. Given how complicated the MSE+EME stacks are, I have no doubt they would test just MSE without EME, since they can't guarantee EME compliance on any given browser. You're reaching.
What exactly do you think this DRM will stop?

1. People who have access to the content can usually see it over and over again (when they have a subscription to a service like Netflix). DRM will do nothing here.

2. People who don't have access to the content can't even see the DRM'ed version of the file, so DRM will do nothing here either.

3. People who want to pirate (illegally distribute) the content have advanced tools and knowledge to circumvent DRM, so DRM is of no use here again.
> Are you saying you would ship HTML5 code to platforms you don't know support HTML5?

No, I would stick to open standards supported by the vast majority of users until the next wave was supported by the vast majority of users and so on. I would never detect a user agent and make crippling decisions based on the response.

And if you do decide to resort to such trickery then you'd better make sure that you extract the maximum out of each platform that presents itself otherwise you open yourself up to claims of favoritism.

As for the HTML5 video, given that I've pioneered that stuff and worked very hard to keep the video-on-the-web scene plug-in free and working with all browsers it was with serious reluctance that I eventually switched to H.264 encoded video with flash as the player because to me that was the wrong way to go about it but the market literally demanded it.

I suspect that if we had not had flash a proper <video> tag would have been implemented ages ago.
I wonder if the underlying driver of this is the profits Uber/Lyft are siphoning from Taxi companies. If taxi companies can reduce operating costs in long term, they may be able to reduce price in short term to become more competitive.

(I know nothing about the taxi business, this is my thoughts from the outside looking in so I welcome correction!)
Medium has no journalism and no good writing.

This is wrong. https://theringer.com/, for example, is hosted on Medium.
I think besides the subscription, the most important news in the post is that they are trying to kill the infinite feed and starting offering Human-Curated articles.

"the big difference is that it’s not an endless feed. Instead, it’s a finite digest of stories, organized into sections, and updated three times a day.
Topics are different from tags because they’re curated by experts in their fields and they bring the top stories directly to your homepage."
The title (which seems to imply that the destruction currently underway in the Amazon is no big deal, basically) is at odds with the text of the article itself, which takes pains to say:

The impact of the indigenous populations in Amazonia in pre-Columbian times can in no way be compared with the deforestation seen in the last decades. “Industrial utilisation has already destroyed one million square kilometres,” Florian Wittmann says. The figure corresponds to three times the surface area of Germany and around 20 per cent of the entire Amazon rainforest. “It is of vital importance that we protect the remaining areas better,” the scientist concludes.

> It's about compromises to drive behavior and consumer spending with convenience.

You mean grabbing a DRM-free (i.e. pirated) copy so that I can watch it at my leasure and on devices of my choosing, even if I have access to it via other legit means?
Now that you put it that way I definitely agree with you.
This is very similar to how "grayscale" is achieved on a TI-83 calculator to make games like Zelda and Desolate (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UHqPMxeZnY) possible.
I don't think those are really relevant to the discussion, because we are talking about lack of incentive. If I was working at space-x and getting the subsequent pay bump, I might consider it worth it. The current problem is outside of the few big guys in SV, the rest of the country is underpaying and overworking IT staff.

You can underpay and underwork, and have low turnover and medium-high return on talent, or you can overpay and overwork, with a high turnover but a high return on talent, but to underpay and overwork is a recipe for hemmoraging talent.
I'm guessing someone on keto would need at least 150g for satiation, if not double that. For reference, a quarter-pound is about 120g. That's about 10.5g of carbs. It doesn't break the bank by itself, but it does mean there's a limit to the amount of extras on the burger.
The "extremist" videos in question here aren't exactly niche. Some have 30 million views. Thats fairly mainstream.

I watched a few (with english translations), and while they are religious in nature, the few I sampled didn't seem anything out of the ordinary for youtube.
I might just be searching for the wrong terms, but am I understanding that this is specific to searching in the mozilla codebase? Is there a version that can work on arbitrary codebases?

>Because people would write comments like the one you did upthread, deceptively implying ...

Wasn't my intention for that comment to be deceptive in its implication. After seeing how some of the replies were going, I did try to amend it in a more balanced fashion—then ended up having to move that further down the thread due to the edit window expiring.

Funny enough the original comment's karma continued to skyrocket while the more measured words teetered on the brink of downvote for some time. It was surprising, since usually HN is pretty good at punishing anything that even has the slightest perception of hyperbole.

That said, I think we can agree that the 2-hour edit window represents a grave threat to civil discourse, freedom of expression, also freedom itself, probably national security, and nothing less than the future of Hacker News. It must be extended. :)
None of which addresses my point.

I'm not talking about innovation in the small, where a dev comes up with a clever new bit of user experience or a snazzy new algorithm. That stuff is nice but it's incremental.

I'm talking strategic innovation, the stuff that makes or breaks big companies like IBM when they're struggling to compete in 2017.

I would never claim there aren't advantages to co-located engineers.

But I struggle to believe that one of those advantages is big picture innovation as implied by the article.
I'd be extremely careful about mixing your personal accounts with any potential company funds. It will become a nightmare to keep things straight. Save yourself and just create a dedicated account. As, I think you'd be opening yourself up to all kinds of hurt if you attempt something like that.
Children in Fresno have three times the rate of lead poisoning as in Flint
I could be wrong, but I am guessing that batteries + electric motors will be both cheaper and need a lot less maintenance than jet engines plus fuel tanks and pumps.
A quarter-pounder is about 120g.
Programming is two things. Figuring out what to build, and than building it. We've made much more progress on the latter than the former.
TRY Not TO GET SCARE
You're pessimistic. But perhaps you are not wrong to be so here.

On the other hand, this functionality would be a brilliant match for Siri, and they've been looking to move in exactly that sort of direction for some while now, as Alexa and Google Assistant have increasingly made Siri's rough edges and limitations show by comparison.

Also worthy of note is that Apple doesn't have a first-party tool in the iOS automation space. So I'm not sure what purpose you suggest it would serve to buy Workflow for the purpose of killing it.
