No, it doesn't. It protects the status quo.
As the author, I should clarify that I am a developer - full time and have been for years. If my english seems to imply a lack of depth of understanding - I'm sorry.

The purpose of the checklist is to get people thinking about items they may have forgotten to address during their dev. In the push to ship new products quickly, that happens all too often.

I agree with you that there are many more important and basic things to do first when securing your app - than worrying about APTs. I did not think the checklist gave that impression?
Thank you for being reasonable, that is not very common. You were never rude and we are all... off sometimes.

and sorry I forgot the link, I am writing a note to myself on real dead tree so I can forget it easily.
Pretty clean interface. Can I export this list or check other social networks soon?

Yea, these things are absolutely loved in the general aviation industry. Big enough to run Foreflight but small enough to fit in a C172
Sure, but I think the font should be (to some extent) scaled proportionally to the map area or perhaps some other way of making the text larger. A typical use case for me is zooming in on a highway to see what exit number a particular ramp is. Today that info is basically unreadable on either platform.
Opus is the default voice codec for Discord, and also available as a codec option for Teamspeak and Ventrilo servers.

Anecdotally, the sound quality is above and beyond what I get on my cell, without question.

> as long as he or she hands off to the coo (say), or hr chief, the responsibility is complete.

Especially since, in this case, the problem is happening in the CTO's organization, the hand-off isn't enough. It's definitely the kind of thing you follow up on, and see through to resolution. Out of pure self interest, a CTO would do this to protect the productivity of the org, and maybe also because it's obviously the right thing to do.
A better way to phrase it is that at some point you need trust. AWS IAM instance profiles are a great example of this.
Second season was just as good as the first, for me!
This is targeted straight at self driving cars and robotics applications and presumably inference only.
Well, it's just an unsourced rumor at this point. My guess is it's not accurate.
Do you personally introduce yourself to every visitor? If not, you're probably not the Tom I met.
Great writeup. I know this post is just about Node but the implications for every language are pretty huge.
Yeah, what kind of shitty frameworks is this person using if the answer to this question is "not much at all?"
Maybe if they had an iPod Touch Plus, but that's not happening...

The iPad Mini size is perfect for watching video in bed in the evening/morning for me. iPhone Plus could probably be doable, but I don't want to carry that huge thing in my pocket all day.
I find it perfect to read on
So every dynamic point of purchase, a ton of specialty medical equipment, as well as hardware for children and elderly would be forced to use the ipad air(which is too big and too expensive)
I think that might be a mistake. It should simply be Tensor Processing Unit. Tensors, not tensorflow (which is an application). Am I wrong?

You can. We all collectively decided at Nuremberg that I was just following orders is not a credible defence of one's actions.
I thought Apple does not allow DBA entities? Don't you need to have a DUNS number to create an account these days? (It's been two years since I made one)
Ogg Vorbis is superior in every way, and I really don't care about ancient electronics, so I'm perfectly happy encoding all my music into .ogg since all my devices, including my car, are compatible with it.
Wow. Those accuracy number are crazy, I had no idea they would be so low (<5%).
That does not seem like a nice workspace at all. I had seen that but thought it's a one-on-one meeting room or something. But it seems like a "pod" is supposed to work for everything (meetings, individual work, socializing?).
>Any sane wireless engineer is using 20mhz channels.

Any reason not to use larger channels on 5GHz at home? I can generally only see 1 or 2 other 5GHz networks indoors, compared to dozens of 2.4GHz networks, so SNR should be no issue on a larger channels.

But maybe you were referring to high density enterprise deployments?
Yes, that's how reporting works. If the source is anonymous (as it is here), you ascribe credibility based on the author and news outlet.
That would suck. I've tried all three sizes and, for me, the mini one is the best. The others are far too large for me. I have the iphone 7 plus, but the mini's bigger size makes it worth carrying both around.
I don't need to get started and I don't need that link; I, personally, know how to develop secure webapps. I am criticizing your listicle for being useless because it is. Your "educational" resource is not educational for anyone.
There's a big gap between the price of NVidia link servers and servers with a bunch of 1080ti's or Titans in them. I think that this must be to do with commodity production and pricing. GPU's are sold to gamers. Gamers want 60fps 4k gaming and there is a large market for cards that support this. I want GPU's to train neural networks - but I think that very few businesses are buying 20 GPU's and sticking them in servers. Even fewer are buying 20 NVidia link systems. There is a market here, but it's small and hard for a gaming company to address. I think NVidia know that there is a lot here for them, but they must look at the numbers and wonder.
Well, obviously they can't name their source. BGR isn't some random dude's blog, though; they have a solid (if imperfect) record of publishing accurate Apple leaks.
This should have been obvious, I guess, but when I read your comment it felt like a revelation. Suddenly, so many articles make sense. It reminds me of the inconsistency inherent in most books about how to beat the market.
Good god. These guys are going to be sued into oblivion. Hope it was worth it.
Ask HN: Why you use python most?
This is...shortsighted. Security is part of your development work. It always has been, always will be. You need to understand application and server-level security--the former is always your responsibility and while you may have specialists for the latter they do not replace you understanding the fundamentals of it. The server is part of your "stack", even if the "full-stack" people want you to believe it ends at the language runtime.

If you are a web developer and in your interviews you aren't demonstrating that you can think in a security-conscious way, your interviewers need to reflect.

For me, it's both. Some days, I've been up all night with a sick kid, and I need coffee to keep my head off my keyboard. But I also enjoy the flavor and drink black coffee because I think it's delicious. My comment is really about the symptoms of caffeine addiction, tolerance, and withdrawal. If I drink more than three cups a day, I get eyelid twitches. If I drink fewer than two, I get a crushing headache. If I had only one of work and kids, I'd probably drink less coffee because that way I'd be able to enjoy it more by choice and less because I have to feed my habit.
Ask HN: Conversation Sparkler App
There are plenty of times when you want to talk to someone sitting next to you when traveling, someone you just met or a some random stranger but you can't figure out how to get over small talk and have a productive discussion.

How about an app where you can quickly specify basic details about person (gender, age etc) and your purpose of communication (learn from them, have fun, become friends etc) and then app can become guiding start by giving you questions to ask.

You can upvote / downvote questions based on situation and app can learn from that and get better and provide improved suggestions overtime.

Do you ever feel yourself in similar situation? If there was such an app, would you use it?

Thank you for your time.

CIS Security Standard for Kubernetes 1.6 Released
There is no iPad Air anymore. There's just "iPad" (which is essentially the old Air 2), and they discontinued iPad minis with less than 128 GB storage, so right now the cheapest iPad is the "iPad" (ex-Air 2).
Makes sense. The difference between the iPad Mini's 7.9″ screen, and the iPhone 7+'s 5.5″ screen makes it hard to differentiate the two.
I've been using Pine products since their Kickstarter, and received my 11'' Pinebook about two weeks ago. I currently use it for quick, on-the-go dev work.

Mine is set so that it boots from the internal 16gb eMMC into Ubuntu Xenial w/ i3wm. Then, I can either extend the storage or have it boot into Android, or any other distro, if I have an SD card inserted.

The Android build is well-refined with very few issues; just like the Pine64 SoC, Android is best for media-related use. The linux builds were rough at first, but most of the major issues have been fixed already by the community devs. They're also working on getting Linux on the mainline kernel, and to get 3D acceleration working.

It'll be a huge step for ARM if this device works out.
This would be less of a concern had they not implemented dark patterns in the UI to encourage sharing.
I think you may be missing the forest for the trees by focussing on a single word as the cause for 'sctb's comment. He specifically mentions that comments should be civil and substantive. That phrase is often used to describe the goals for discussion on HN, and they're both important.

The comment 'sctb responds to has very little substance, adding little to the conversation other than castigating its parent for assuming that people (journalists in particular) ever strive to do anything other than follow their basest instincts, that all journalists only seek attention. You add some nuance ("this type of journalist") which is entirely lacking in the original. The phrasing is also aggressive and does not invite further civil and substantive responses—hallmarks of comments that are not appropriate for HN.
So, this isn't official, and should be taken with a grain of salt. But if it is true... well, to everyone asking how Apple could do this, "they're not selling as many of them as they would need to to get the margins they want" is probably the answer.
Seems like a bullshit excuse that's using the illusion of empathy (which is some extra infuriating bullshit). I'd much rather the option of on-site daycare and dealing with the fallout of leaving a job myself.

Navigation is indeed a hairy beast right now. We're working hard to get React-navigation in shape for 1.0. I think the solutions from Wix and Airbnb are fantastic -- but the community deserves a really polished, JS-only solution that's ready for production. I hope you take another look at React-Nav when we release 1.0!

You might have missed that Google already does this. They literally already do this with the + markers. Literally all that is necessary is for the user to be allowed to add an entry saying kasdlfj33sdfsketchy = johnsmith23+sketchy so that the user can give out "kasdlfj33sdfsketchy@gmail.com" rather than "johnsmith23+sketchy@gmail.com" as the user can do today.

Nothing that you have stated is difficult or a choice, because johnsmith23+sketchy is live today. If you have a gmail account, you can give out your accountname + marker to anyone you want, so that later you can start filtering it.

This is security by obscurity, since this can be removed by a regex. I would like them to fix this.

As for your other point, where you call the extra data "nontrivial", I am afraid you are wrong, it is almost the definition of trivial. If you have a gmail account, go to it and type a name or any word into the search field. You will instantly receive search results from the entire history of your email archives.

That is because your email archives are fully indexed for fast searching. This takes a not-insignificant amount of space.

Adding a few bytes of aliases is absolutely trivial compared to the amount of storage and lookup that Gmail does on your behalf. It's almost the definition of trivial.

This isn't 1964!

https://backchannel.com/how-the-tech-press-forces-a-narrativ...

"A company’s narrative moves like a clock: it starts at midnight, ticking off the hours. The tone and sentiment about how a business is doing move from positive (sunrise, midday) to negative (dusk, darkness). And often the story returns to midnight, rebirth and a new day."

I feel like Uber is starting to see if it can hit midnight.
Because Asians are generally not considered minorities for purposes of diversity. Whether that's right or not is another subject.

Since they're not considered minorities, the lack of diversity and their ethnicity should not affect morale at all.
why can't we code like this "remove that comma on line 3" or "move line 4 inside the braces above"? surely it would benefit everyone?

you could even ask "which lines have if statements?"

for something like this wouldn't you be talking to an AST rather than a text editor?

More like saturated with endless variations of the same drug.

The pharmaceutical industry likes to release a new variants of popular drugs in order to keep them patented. They then advertise to doctors and other involved parties in an attempt to convince them that the "new" drug is better than the old one.

It is possible to have too many and not enough drugs at the same time.
What you want, and what is effective and feasible, are at odds. Trying to build a framework for this to work in the general case will--not may, will--result in something that doesn't work in that general case for anybody.

You can't framework away security. Parts can be abstracted, but that abstraction is for ease-of-use, not correctness; you need to understand what's going on and why. It's your job to.
(Or pay someone else to. But we're expensive.)

I saw it was like designernews.co and I was about to ask how it's that imitation of this site. I agree about these "UX Sites" doesn't present good UX. NNGroup website[1] does its job great since they are pioneer on user experience and usability. They frequently publish articles about how all these pop-ups, modals etc effects the usability.

It doesn't really "prove" either one, but it is a step in the right direction.

I think we should be encouraging companies to address their issues. Being cynical about it doesn't really help.

That said, I agree with you that if they think their hands are now clean, they've sort of missed the point.
Labour is right–Karl Marx has a lot to teach today’s politicians
I have both a 7+ and an iPad mini, the iPad is mostly used for reading in the Kindle app. It's the perfect size for that and it fits in the outer pocket of my lunch box.

It's also convenient to use for the DJI Go app for my drone, which absolutely demolishes any device battery. It's light enough so your arms won't get tired, and it spares my phone's battery.
Yeah, I've been waiting for an update so I can replace my Mini 2 (16 GB).

I bought the original iPad and the iPad 2 and never found a use for them, so when I needed a new iPad for work I went with the cheapest one. I actually found with the Mini form-factor I started using the thing, and now the 16 GB storage makes it a massive pain in the ass because the features that make the iOS ecosystem really seamless (iCloud) don't work with 16 GB.

Now I'm left wondering if I should get the mini 4 on this rumor...
If all companies had childcare that wouldn't be an issue...
Great idea btw. Great platform.

But .... this had 4 points when I first spotted it on the front page of HN. I've seen many things get more points and never make it to front page. Does HN mimic Product Hunt now in that there are super users who can push content to front page, or has it always been like that?

The thing is, if you read the full article, they don't even mention they have a source. They're just publishing their best guesses IMHO.
No, this is pretty unusual. It's not clear from the article if there even is any source at all.

Is it based on guess work? Close reading of public statements and financials? An ex-employee with an axe to grind? No clue.

I can't remember where I read it, but this week I read an interesting profile of a FB Messenger bot that would act like a 'wingman' on dates. You'd keep giving it info about things your date had mentioned and it'd give you news or trivia related to those things to help you out.

Your idea sounds a bit more fleshed out and not specifically for dating, so it seems worth experimenting worth for sure if people enjoyed a similar thing for dating.

Python used to be my go to language. For me it was clear, easy to read, had a lot of great packages. Trying ideas out in the REPL was handy. (I've since mostly abandoned it for golang, and wonder how any of my Python ever worked considering how many silly mistakes the compiler catches).
You can think what you want. But if you're perceptive and think really hard about the individuals at the front of companies, and you've spent time thinking about Elon Musk, it's really clear that he will never stop until someone assassinates him.

The guy had a dad who psychologically tortured him, he got thrown down stairs by gangs of blacks in apartheid South Africa, and he completely detached himself from any social connections when he was 17 by moving to Canada. The guy's only reason to live is to fulfill his dreams that he gained from reading every single science fiction book that existed.

Anyway you can think what you want but I know that he's not like the other CEOs that are career CEOs. He's on a mission fueled by intense hardship and retribution

No, there are more asians by percentage in tech companies than asians by percentage of the general population.

If asians count for diversity, there is no lack of diversity of tech companies. If asians don't count for diversity, then the author's point is invalid since it shouldn't matter to morale whether or not the fired person was white or asian.
I agree it's not perfect but we seriously need a reddit alternative. The community there is simply too toxic and I've had to quit it. If there were a HN like community centered around regular news aggregation I would be sooo happy. As is, it's impossible to find a news feed I trust anymore. Google news is infiltrated with fake clickbait nonsense, and I wont even get started on Facebook.
I think the key here, in retrospect, is that this would have been Gibson in his 30s, immediately after writing Count Zero (and Neuromancer before that).

I can't think of a better thematic match to continue on from Aliens.

Also incredibly annoyed that the noted reason it got shot down was "not being innovative enough." I feel like most movies die from overly innovative scripts, whereas most of the classics, reduced to script form, are really simple ideas executed well.

I mean, &#(@, look at the script for Alien and Aliens.
