Security is one of those arts, especially when it comes to the programming side of things, that one tiny chink in your armour is enough. There are people and tools out there which scan continually for the bugs and holes, either wearing a white hat and submitting them to bug bounty programs or similar, or wearing a darker shade of hat and doing much worse.

Of course, there are things out there which can help a business to minimise these risks and to try and catch these potential coding horrors before they're put in-front of the general public:

- Static Code Analysis (sometimes referred to as source code analysis) is sometimes a quick win here, but of course not the silver bullet. Sometimes a bug cannot be easily identified by just looking at code for common mistakes, it takes a skilled eye or even dynamic analysis for it to be spotted. However, static analysis can be added into your production pipeline and workflow, checking on each push for any newly added vulnerabilities!

- Automated vulnerability scanning/testing is also something else which can be done in-house usually, with the right tools. There is no reason why you shouldn't be running various security scanning tools against your application during testing/pre-production, such as web application scanners or even fuzzers.

- Go external, and get a 3rd party to penetration test your application if it requires that level of scrutiny. There are plenty of smart folks out there who do it day after day who can do this for you.

You can also deploy thing post deployment of course (depending on what you are coding!), so for web applications, a WAF (web application firewall) is sometimes useful to stop the vast majority of automated attacks. The alerts from this will also give you a very good idea of what is out there and at what scale you are being targeted.
I'm currently working on a side project [1] which is to try and identify breaches once they have happened, as unfortunately they are almost inevitable. It isn't always your code which lets you down! It may be a dependency or library, or even a simple phishing email. Put simply, my project produces a canary to add to your user base, that we'll monitor continually for a number of tell-tail signs that someone else may have a copy of your data.

At that point, it's time to invoke your incident response process! Or... get someone in to run that process for you.

[1] https://breachcanary.com - If you get this far, I would absolutely love any feedback.
I would say that a lot of countries in EU are ahead of US in eliminating cash as well (wether this is good or bad can be discussed). The new EU Payment Service Directive 2 (PSD2) will essentially force EU banks to open apis for account information and payments to third parties.
I'm not going to argue that KSP isn't fun, or that it's not a good value for the money, or that you shouldn't play it - but this is something you can build physically (maybe with your kid, maybe with your significant other, maybe with a friend) and actually display.

And honestly, KSP isn't really for everyone. Some people would find it boring while building a giant Lego rocket would be right up their alley.
Don't bet on that.

Passive equity ETFs across all major regions, weighted by contribution to world GDP. A minor portion in various cryptocurrencies, so I can do some active 'trading' (really just losing money), but on a smaller scale, without getting anywhere near the ETFs (studies found that people who buy ETFs often fare poorly in practice because they start to actively trade them).
It's also well known that study considered any bankruptcy with the slightest smidgen of medical debt to be a medical bankruptcy. Edit: or expenses. Over $1000 in expenses over 2 years and you're in that category.

PSD2 will raise awareness of APIs, but I expect what is delivered by banks to be disappointing. There are many reasons to suspect this all flowing from the reality that opening up access to the customer is in the exact opposite of their own best interests. Even if they act in good faith, which in my opinion they are generally speaking not, the design is by committee, with no users (account owners or developers) involved and their needs taking a back seat. This is the opposite to Teller's approach.
To really see the benefits, you need to use it an environment where the parsing overhead gets cached. In terms of pure execution time, we see improvements of up to 10x for the initialization phase.
Vanguard.

Whatever the question is, the answer is vanguard, as long as you are American.
High in the sky: Small flying “cars” come a bit closer to reality
Currently, it's really about the initialization phase of the code.
Does anybody know the equivalent to Vanguard but for Europe (not UK)? Or, can I buy Vanguard from Europe?
On a really dark cloudy day, you're still generating something like 30-40% of the energy as you would in bright sunlight.

Eclipses are much tougher since even on cloudy days, there's enough variance over a region that your output would rarely drop more than 50% (there's a mitigating benefit to clouds where they reflect a lot of light back to the earth). During an eclipse though, something like 5,000 square miles of land drop to 0%.
I come from significant privilege, so I won't be hurt by people dividing (and fighting among) themselves by ambiguous lines drawn in the sand. But, I don't understand how so many people that don't come from such a background think of globalism as a bad thing.

With culture as diverse as India , Central government is be weak by design.

The current government does not represent all the different people in the country. For example the current ruling party has never won even the smallest of representation in any election in the history of my state and for good reason Both BJP and Congress have Delhi centric view points and in the case BJP strong communal tones as well. If the state powers are not strong then who will represent people like me?

Yeah democracy is not easy to deliver to a country like ours, but we already had it in good measure and now we are loosing it piece by piece .
In my USA job's 401K, I pick the closest thing to low fee index fund that captures tracks the stock market. In my personal retirement, I use Wealthfront. I do not like actively investing, and so these approaches work well for me.
I've seen so many people stress about getting their credit card stolen or bank accounts hacked. It's rather ridiculous considering you don't bear the liability of a hack. If you didn't access or approve a usage of your accounts, the banks just give it back. I have had money stolen more than once from skimmers and I have never had any trouble getting it all back.
Im not declaring all humans in citys to be that way. I presume its the same percentage of racism and baseless hatred on other beings (for whatever imagined injustice) everywhere.

In the countryside, people just dont switch there roles constantly on a hourly basis. You are who you are, with near no authority to punish you for saying what you think.
On your farm, you dont have to worry about your boss, your church, your neighbors, the street, the block and that shows.
So people say what they think, and everyone knows what it is and is not. You can actually, quite lively debate, racism with a racist (Recommend reading Jared Diamond and lots of history books ahead).

I know some people living in citys, and you can bet all you got that these, while today singing liberal Songs, when they would hear the mob yell for a stake, would look at all the others, and if they sees a majority, put all there former friends on a serving wagon. In your face racism and hypocrisy much preferred thank you. That way it can be addressed.

One of the things i also noticed is, that some countryside personal - in particular truckers, turn into deep thinkers, philosophers even. Routine either dumbs you down or sends the mind for a walk.

Finally, to put some perspective to the first statement- in some city's (Berlin e.g.), the neighborhoods begin to form what is basically small villages again, with the towns drunk, the village schizo and everyone looking out for one another. Such things are awesome- and very rural.
Network effects -> high cost of living.

I've never been to Cleveland, Ohio, but most of these flyer states in America where housing is cheap are boring. Add to that the chicken-and-egg problem, you're going to have a tough time convincing young single people to move there.

Only practical solution to avoid high cost of living is to embrace remote work and give employees the freedom to work from wherever they want.
Well, there's also that 32.8% LEGO Group operating margin...
Democracy has become an empty word.

It never reflected modern systems of government (neither those that come close to respect for individual liberties nor those that do not) and its adjective form democratic really only refers to the processes of appointing leadership. A better word for the sort of thing happening here in America and (it would seem) in India might be anti-liberal, but then that word has political baggage of its own in the United States, and a similarly distorted meaning. Perhaps 'illiberal-democracy,' as a liberal democracy implies a republic with at least semi-democratic election to leadership underpinned by a lowest common denominator of shared values: peace as an ideal, individual liberty, some property rights, and an amount of cultural openness or tolerance.

In the United States, we've seen Trump rise in the wake of two waves of Republican success in the low turnout midterms of 2010 and 2014 and after even earlier stratagems to control State governments and thereby all the redistricting following the 2010 census (to jam a proverbial foot in the door of every valuable Congressional election until 2020). All very Late-Roman-Republic maneuvering and none of it 'democratic.'

Of course, if we had a more directly democratic system things would likely have been even uglier, independent of who came out on top. When 51% of people get their hands on the power tap, they like how it feels, and not in a good way for the other 49%. Though, I suspect from your comment you might agree. Feel free to snark at me if I'm wrong.

> This is what democracy looks like - the enforcement of the will of the majority.

Change 'will' to 'whims' and we're on pretty much the same page. Though what's happening in India sounds more like the gradual march of bureaucracy and its exploitation by interested parties rather than a will or even whim of the majority of voters.
I'd put it a different way. It is the job of a program to be free from faults, as much as possible. It is the job of a firewall to protect programs from being exploited, as much as possible, when there are faults.

It is the job of legislators to write laws that are as free from faults as possible. It is the job of judges to protect the people from unavoidable faults in legislation.
I completely agree. It's strange to me that people are so scared of 'all of the hackers'. It's not like everyone with a black belt in karate runs around beating up everyone they see. Personally, everyone I know who has a deeper understanding of computer security, is so caught up in their curiosity, and getting 'that next trick' (more like skateboarders) that they don't even have a trace of the inclination, the time, or the threshold for the risk of prison time as it would interfere with their research, to plot and execute the type of stuff that people are so worried about.
Isn't "unlocking" Windows 10 S to Pro for $50 like gaming companies shipping DLC with their product, and requiring you to unlock it with a code? Don't "we" hate that?

Also, how can S purport to be faster when it's apparently 10 Pro sitting on the disk? Are there background services that don't get started until it's unlocked?
> That would be a fairly easy legislative fix, rather than inventing the right from thin air via this majority SCOTUS decision.

Sure, but there's probably no incentive for legislatures to implement this fix. The loophole enriches their constituent law enforcement organizations, while also relaxing their budgetary needs. And most private citizens probably aren't going to care much either way, especially since the loophole can be framed as pro-law and order.

So if the law as written is encouraging abusive behavior from law enforcement, and the legislative incentives are misaligned to prevent the easy fix, how else could it get fixed?
"All" banks in Germany are run by less than 10 data centers. The second biggest, Fiducia, operates about 600 banks. This is one API for 600 banks.

For the API - almost all business accounts support HBCI or EBICS. For example my tax accountant and tax software have full access to my business account.
Wow, genuinely interesting to see all the stories here about what's happening to the store.
Why are they using bicubic scaling instead of nearest scaling to the closest integer? (ie 2x, 3x, etc, not 2.2x, etc)
Interesting, I've often felt like my brain speaks a different language to other people, and that if I could only improve the translation between their language and mine life would be a lot easier. Similar concept here - I have this feeling that maths is taught in a way that suits those that create the learning materials, rather than in a way that suits the learner. In teaching I wonder how much feedback goes into selecting the most efficient learning material?
I'm not concerned about any arbitrary depiction in a movie (The Social Network?), I take issue with the move fast and break things attitude taken by the platform he created regarding news distribution, privacy, individual liberties, and mental health.
I actually regret not taking investment.
Apps that let you manage video game currency often give you so much more control than your bank's app gives you over your real money in your checking account! It's an imbalanced situation, and I think there's a lot of room to improve. Perhaps I can use your API to do something like that.
>>I suspect the larger economies always saw Greece as their >>'little brother' and countries like Germany had a sort of >>"Well, if we give them money, they'll build industry and >>catch up to us eventually,"

Do you really believe that? After all we have seen, do you think that Germany cares about the greeks? And they say Varoufakis is naive.

Greece has lost more GDP for more time that the states in the Great Depression, and you know what? there is not end in view to that. They can't do anything because they don't control their currency.

Everybody know that the debt never will be pay, but instead of facing that, they just "extend and pretend".

All the predictions of future growth from the Euro institutions and the IMF are wrong year after year, but they just keep doing the same. What was the definition of insanity again?

If you have an interest in Greece "being successful" you should check the facts again.
Remember this is a meter tall, some of the detail is lost in the image. Lego Ideas kits only use pre-existing parts.
Not sure why you were down voted, that is basically the entire second part of Thomas' legal dissent.

1. Colorado law doesn't provide for an automatic refund when convictions are overturned, rather Colorado law provides a process and the defendant's didn't attempt to use the process (Therefore, no Constitutional violation in application of this law);

2. The Defendants here already lost their property rights, and so the Due Process Clause of the Constitution does not apply (Colorado doesn't need to provide any process to refund, so we don't need to even look at the Colorado Law to determine if the process is Unconstitutional).

There is no investment. There is only speculation!

Question should be how do you speculate with your money?

- stocks
- Real estate
- bonds

I wonder how different these answers are from the answers Back in 2007?

We are almost 10 years into this bull run. Nothing lasts forever...
I've only seen the talk in person and I've not been able to find a resource online that enumerates exactly what he means, but Dr. Ken Perlin gives an excellent talk (with live demo) about how AR could potentially change the human communication completely.

The gist of it is: assuming ubiquitous access to an AR system that provides a completely shared experience, people will naturally start using that shared experience as a communication tool. We will draw what we mean when words become difficult. We will riff on those ideas in a real-time simulation. And with the mind-set or combination of services, it may as well be, or could actually become, a physical reality.

If you've seen any of his more recent, HTML5-based demos (he has completely switched off of Java) involving visually-oriented, live-programmable environments with physics baked-in, it's almost completely targeted at this dream of communication. He has said he's not in it for graphics or VR/AR anymore, it's the communication aspect he's after.
I'm a federal employee so I put it into the Thrift Savings Plan (think 401k). The tax advantages are huge.

Taxes, taxes. Taxes will eat you alive. Find the best tax reduction vehicle you can, and then get into it and keep your costs low.

After all, if you had to read something on /r/personalfinance, then "Actively searching for stock on the rise/timing the market?" is not something you have the expertise to do; "Real estate purchasing then renting those out?" is not something you have the passion or expertise to do. As for wealthfront/betterment, I have no idea what those are, but if you have a tax advantaged vehicle available like IRA or 401k, use that first. Taxes taxes taxes.
Commercial Crew was $2.6 billion to SpaceX and includes 6 flights, I believe. Yes, NASA is SpaceX's biggest customer, but SpaceX also gets a lot of revenue from launching commercial communications satellites to GEO -- a business that US launchers have not been price competitive at for a long time.
A long time ago, I translated Civilization 1 to Brazilian Portuguese. Eventually (like, 15 years later?) I got to work for a guy that worked on CIV I, and he told me they just found my translation, fixed some stuff and put it up as the official one (I put it in the most popular BBS at the time)

Good times.
If you want a single index fund that you can buy and hold, and never worry about again, SPY is one of the best. Even Warren Buffet has endorsed this approach many times.

If you're willing to spend 15-30 minutes per month managing finances, then buy the Bogleheads' Guide to Investing and read it cover to cover.

Once you've done that, head over to the Bogleheads forum [http://www.bogleheads.org] and you can learn as much or as little as you want. Taylor Larimore, one of the authors of the book (and former Band of Brothers WW2 paratrooper), is still active on the forum at the age of 93.
> S&P is too US-scoped. One bad president pick and it will be all gone

Respectfully, if that were true it would all have been long gone a long time ago :)
Lawyers and judges are not just hardware interpreting and 'running' the 'code' of law. Law needs to be flexible to handle all manner of unsanitized inputs, and judges need to have leeway to (attempt to) serve justice and the spirit of the law. Laws that are sufficiently written to explicitly close every loop-hole or guard against all malicious 'input', would be monstrosities that no one human could ever truly know. The US tax code strikes me as something that has gone in that direction.
Most text in Pokemon is either completely formulaic ("A wild <Pokemon> appeared!" "Charmander used Ember" "It's not very effective") or a one-off pre-combat joke from a trainer ("I like shorts!"). It's pretty easygoing stuff.
Yeah, I agree. That's what I'm getting at; in the physical world, there is a bright line between "an invention" and "a copy". You buy a reproduction of an invention, or a physical reproduction of a copyrighted work, and that reproduction is a discrete unit owned by the purchaser and not really subject to the limitations of IP (only insofar as the fundamental components are directly copied to deprive the inventor/author of the proceeds).

In cyberspace, many things that should be considered "inventions" for IP purposes, and thus subject to the much more limited extent of patent protection and for which each individual unit is an unprotected entity, are instead considered "new copies" of a copyrighted work, under which substantially more aggressive licensing restrictions are typical, and under which the definition of things like "infringement" and "derivative" are much more restrictive.

A software program should be an invention under patent law, and its copies should be considered discrete physical units. The code itself may be copyrighted, just as the plans for an invention may be, but the produced binaries probably should not be. Rather, they are units of the invention regulated as normal goods.

This has become even harder as we have gone to mostly-digital software distribution. You used to be able to easily resell software if you had a CD. Now you can't even do that (which, by the way, is no small motive for the companies; it completely obliterates the secondary market for software).

IANAL
is maxing 401k for someone who won't stay in the US longer than 4 years wise or dumb?

Five lines of code. First thing, sit down and add five lines of code. It frequently gets you in the zone and you write a lot more. And even if not, you finish the day (or go into your status update) having accomplished something, which is better than continual zero progress.
This appears to be a C++03 guide, as it doesn't mention any C++11 features (no range based for). To be fair it is definitely a "quick" guide, and doesn't cover enough to actually be productive in C++ (pointers\memory allocation and references are missing...), but you're right that auto and register are the only things that appear to be explicitly wrong, instead of wrong by omission.
I think this really goes on a sliding scale.

In your classic case of a guy who tells one person one story and another person a different story, yeah, that's pretty disingenuous and makes that person untrustworthy.

However, for example, if you are a gay man in a community that isn't lgbt friendly, then misrepresenting your actual opinion on homosexuality becomes a matter of self preservation. As a minority, it's a pretty common experience to need to control your image carefully in small ways.
Pretty excited to see where this product goes :)
