> "In future work, we plan to investigate whether typo-tolerance will actually serve to improve overall security. Because allowing for password typos increases login success rates in benign scenarios, it may help to make adversarial login attempts stick out. This would strengthen the signals used to detect online password attacks as used in Internet-scale authentication systems."

My initial thought was that such a system would decrease security, but the idea of increasing legitimate user login success rates is very interesting. This could also decrease the volume of password reset requests.

Of course if the user were pasting their credentials in from a password manager this feature wouldn't make any difference, but until our industry can create solutions with much less authentication friction we are likely to see users continue to do what the majority of them are used to already doing.
Quite happy to see that six out of the 30 front page slots are currently PDF submissions. Few other places on the internet are as scholarly. That's no small feat given HN's size.

Have we stopped doing this since we have know better for a long time now?

You want to leave earth because streets are too crammed for cars? Seriously?
> There is nobody in government who is actually out there thinking of whether there is a path through this system for the most vulnerable people; the people who have lost everything. They don't care.

I vehemently disagree with the stance that "they don't care."

I've been on the other side of the partition before. Do people come to their government needing help with having fallen through the cracks? Absolutely, quite often. On the other hand, do scammers do the same thing? Yep, even more often. There are a myriad of reasons to be cautious with identity paperwork, especially in our "digital but not really because a lot of stuff is still shuffled around in paper form" era of underfunded, understaffed, overworked, and occasionally disinterested civil service.

"But, have a fucking heart and do what's right!" Damn straight, and every day I tried my best to do that. But here's the thing: in my position, in a county office that was a "jack of all trades" that handled many things from marriage licenses to vehicle registration to property records, we lived in perpetual fear of the local TV stations coming in to do some "sting" on how incompetent we all were. In the two years I worked there, three out of the four TV news departments sent "informants" in to try to catch us in some trap where we weren't following the laws and rules To The Exact Letter. (It didn't help that this was a relatively wealthy county sitting right next to one of the poorest, and minority-population-level, in the entire state.)

If you drew the unlucky straw and unwittingly wound up with one of these ringers and you didn't do everything exactly By The Book, usually because you tried to help by being maybe a little lenient on the exact list of documents needed to get a certified copy of some record, you could count on having your face-with-blurred-out-eyes plastered all over ad spots for the next week. "Is the [county] County Clerk office putting YOUR CHILDREN at risk for IDENTITY THEFT?! Are the government employees at the downtown office UNTRAINED or MALICIOUS? Find out, when KZZZ NEWS AT TEN goes UNDERCOVER to expose WASTE AND FRAUD in our county government. EXCLUSIVELY, TONIGHT."

So, yeah, I see the rock and the hard place that people of all stripes are in.

Don't you think it is curious how the phrase "human interest" has come to mean "I don't care, and I don't see why anyone else should either"? I think it's curious.

Well, people have for years complained about features missing from MySQL–often without noticing that they're complaining about problems that were fixed when Bill Clinton was still president.

Adding features without incurring performance penalties is probably hard to pull off. FWIW we're still talking about 10000 queries/sec.

I've only lived 5 years of my life in Turkey (I married into it!), but already I feel like I could write a book on Turkish food culture. One major aspect that I think is often overlooked is the seasonality. Whether it's food that is related to a holiday (Güllaç, Aşure) or food for a particular season (Salep, Boza), sometimes the anticipation makes the treats taste that much better! (...And now I'm sad because I can't have Boza.)

Recognizing the harmony underneath a line isn't something a casual listener is going to do, but is essential for a musician who is trying to communicate with other musicians in real-time

My point is that none of that is essential to recognizing it as music and getting meaning from it.
> Just like you can build spaceships, police station, cars, and all kinds of complex things using lego blocks, you can build complex architecture using the simple building block that is cell

Except you cannot have a hierarchy of cells without the top level cell having responsibility of the whole world below in its own scope: that doesn't scale well and limits complexity to maybe a couple of levels.
I don't care to argue whether this is true or not, but I will highlight that the cloud business was nascent enough that Amazon had the opportunity to define it and they were able to bootstrap quickly because running a large data center was already part of their core competency.

Granted, building a global scale infrastructure was an amazing accomplishment, but you have to concede it's easier when you're starting with a team who already knows something about the business.

Reddit Is Raising Funds at a Valuation of $1.7B
I did a bunch of testing with ARM (ThunderX) for an IPC workload using this codebase: github.com/sargun/wat. Unfortunately, it no longer runs on ARM, because I'm using inline assembly.

The ThunderX's power comes from the fact it's a 48-core CPU, which is awesome for web workloads. The problem comes in that inter-core transfer is ridiculously slow. To make a 64-byte RPC (return / response), was in the area of ~1100 nanoseconds, whereas x86-64 was on the order of 500 nanoseconds on a 2 generation old CPU. Testing on a more modern CPU cut the time further.

I'd love to see ARM either catch-up in single-core performance, or multi-core performance, but until then I don't feel like it's viable.
> I don't think the widespread resentment of Amazon as a "cold corporate digital version of WalMart" exists outside of your own point of view, and perhaps a few publishers' offices in New York.

Just one opinion, but I already thought of Amazon as "the internet's WalMart". And that was before they took over Whole Foods.

It's not a widespread opinion yet, but I'm guessing as they exert ever more influence, more people will come to a similar association. If Amazon decides to takeover Meijer's next (just as an example) a lot of upper-midwest folks would suddenly make a similar association.
Authors who claim to understand music scientifically should be judged by the music they produce. If an author really does have some deep understanding of what makes music work, it should be fairly easy for the author to get a record deal, get a bunch of #1 pop hits, etc. Until then, it's alchemy.

Key takeaways:

Pregnancy is rarely planned among the populations they studied, that is, the lower class.

Cause – The key weakness is not the father’s bond to the child; it’s the parents’ bond with each other... The fathers often retain a traditional and idealistic “Leave It to Beaver” view of marriage. They dream of the perfect soul mate. They know this woman isn’t it, so they are still looking.

Fathers – When the men learn that their partner is pregnant, they don’t panic, or lament all the freedom they are going to miss. On the contrary, three-quarters of the men... were joyous at the news. The men are less likely than the women to want to end the pregnancy with an abortion.

Fathers #2 – These guys have often had a lot of negativity in their lives. The child is a chance to turn things around and live a disciplined life. The child is a chance to have a respected role, to find love and purpose.

Mothers – Buried in the rigors of motherhood, the women take a very practical view of what they need in a man: Will this guy provide the financial stability I need, and if not, can I trade up to someone who will?

Effects – By the time the child is 1, half these couples have split up, and many of the rest will part ways soon after.

The article fails to mention the major role of divorce in single parenthood.
I users UK 3 for 8 weeks through Europe last year and it was a godsend. Even better, about 3 weeks prior to my trip they plugged the black holes I had worried about by covering a whole heap of extra countries. They made it possible for me to simply use my phone anywhere I went there and that was honestly game-changing for my travel and fundamental for how I'd planned my trip. It was slow but it was fast enough for turn by turn maps and that's exactly what I needed since I spent a month driving wherever I felt.

No other plan offered such comprehensive roaming at the time, so I had a mate fly a SIM over from the UK for me when I arrived in Germany.

This change will be a huge boon for travellers especially. I can see how for some cheap telcos it could cause harm though.

I'm sure the point isn't just to get the technology into Whole Foods, but rather to use Whole Foods to advertise the technology to every other retailer.

It's like how Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook, except for if he had just bought Harvard.
Also, I think it is hard to get product market fit. You pretty much have to release a whole game before you know if it's successful. Unless you are established it is much harder to bootstrap. You can release a level and optimize but games are super hard.

I agree there is the romantic factor in play as well. You have a lot of supply of devs and a random walk of success stories.
Holy moly, I can't believe I didn't know about https://github.com/tensorflow/models
The interesting part about this story is that if you're getting paid €15 an hour, to moderate facebook, and mark/flag garbage, you probably aren't doing anything important, and have saved no one's life. You are a cog in a machine that pays lip service to some misplaced idea that this sort of thing can intervene, and deflect negative outcomes into controlled results.

But, also even for all the nothing that this day job accomplishes, now we have an identity spill, and "terrorists" who don't really care about who they kill, so much as how many get killed (they will literally stab random people on the street, without warning, given the opportunity), now have a short list of people they can make easy news with. Not because they think this will matter, or get results, or slow down their open and flagrant use of facebook anyway, but because it's a splashy news item that they can use as a promotional device.

So nobodies accomplishing nothing, maybe get squished by people who know that these targets don't actually matter in a tactical or strategic sense, but incidentally as a public relations bump.

And so, if one person from the group of people suffers harm, the machine grinds onward on both sides unchanged, and this distraction evaporates, as more inconsequential crap gets dumped onto facebook, and faceless "whoevers" pick through the tin cans and banana peels looking for a smoking gun that will never appear. The difference being that they would be slightly less than random targets, but still nobodies, brought down by sacrificed expendable cannon fodder, entrapped into suicide attacks no matter what.

This echoes my experience working with homeless and at-risk people in DC during the 2000s. Nearly everyone I knew who had been on the streets for a significant length of time (> 3 months) was caught up in the bureaucracy of securing housing assistance. Many of them faced the issues described in the article around proper identification. All of them were frustrated by waiting lists for affordable housing that stretched into multiple years.

I empathize with everyone involved here and I hope to see greater public and political will around solving identification (and voter registration) issues for disadvantaged populations.

I think the issue is local optima. The Cambrian explosion is known for a huge diversity of forms, but diversity generally means a lot of sub optimal results which mostly get killed off.

Beyond that, what worked for trilobites largely works for horseshoe crabs.

Consider if something is getting larger by say 1% per thousand years, well over 1 million years that's simply unsustainable without becoming ~21,000x as large and thus a very different organism. Further conditions may change promoting periods of shrinking which means the average is going to trend to ever smaller changes per period of time.

Please don't let me comments prevent you from participating in good discourse. I just don't understand why you are so hell bent on defending Amazon at the expense of all the "seasonal unskilled laborers". They are humans like you and me and they are not secondary citizens. It seems to me like we should be trying to make other people's lives better. I will trash whatever place that mistreats its employees. But this is Hacker news and the topic is about whole food and amazon. Why you keep bringing the fact that you worked for $3.50 an hour at McDonald's is beyond me. Damn man, just because you suffered from having to do fast food doesn't mean everyone else should too?

If this article is correct, please explain why my blood pressure and cholesterol figures go through the roof when my diet includes fructose.

Please also explain how and why everything goes back to normal when I cut fructose out entirely. I am an quite serious - I do not allow even trace amounts in sauces and mayo and the like, nor in hidden sources such as "agave nectar" (which is 50-90% fructose).

Oh and BTW, I eat TONS of pasta, saturated fat (including butter), plants, and a really nice steak every month. I pour heavy whipping cream into my coffee every morning (not the usual trash, but the fancy expensive stuff free of polysorbate 80 and carrageenan.)

Unless you're eating a fresh strawberry that hasn't been mutilated in a blender (and even then, not too many all at once), fructose makes you fat because it messes with your appetite regulation in the bad direction. Even a little fructose makes you hungry.

Dietary fat (saturated or otherwise) does the exact opposite: all other things being equal, it makes you feel sated.

This is an op ed, so I assume this is the opinion of the author. It sounds like a lot of generalizations, which are probably culture-based as well. The author makes few citations without being specific of what parts are cited and what is opinion.

Overall, my experiences with my own father (who wasn't much in my life) and mother run completely counter to the narrative provided here. I guess everyone is entitled to their opinions.

It's not cool to stand by. It just is taken as tacit approval. And even if it was not unusual in the past, technology is supposed to be about change, right?

You say, "We should be more professional, it's uncool to talk about hot a coworker is," or "I'm really not comfortable wen you talk about her breasts, even if it's a joke" or, "I don't think you'd want me to go tell her you said that she only got promoted because she wears short skirts, cut it out," or even, "Hey man, this isn't Uber, don't say you'd hire her because of what she looks like."

Naming the specific behavior is important. It's embarrassing, and people don't do things they are embarrassed for.

Then you look at them until they look away or whatever. It's a dominance thing, so try to do so when you are standing and they are sitting down. If they try to make excuses, insist they stop and not repeat it. Practice with a friend if you need to.

Record the incident to your personal email from your corporate email, so it's nicely datestamped. If it happens more then once, report it to HR and your supervisor as a pattern of problematic behavior, with documentation.

If it's a supervisor, I'd email HR and their supervisor the first time it happens. If you get fired or they give you a negative review, retaliation is also illegal.

If HR doesn't do anything, come back to HN, reference this thread, and someone will try to find you help.
That multiple doesn't seem crazy for a relatively early stage ecommerce startup. But, I'm guessing the acquisition price was based more on Bonobos' private valuation. Bonobos has raised ~$125 million so a $310 million valuation would be reasonable.

Is there an easy way to do represent something like this in Cell:

<p>I will say this <em>emphatically</em></p>

As far as I can tell, Cell doesn’t permit this. If you have multiple child nodes ($components), none of them can be text nodes, so you have to work around it like this:

<p><span>I will say this </span><em>emphatically</em></p>

Why not do away with the $text keyword entirely, and treat any strings in the $components list as text nodes? So instead of this:

$text: "Buy now!!".

you have this:

$components: ["Buy now!!"],

and instead of this:

$components: [
{$type: "span", $text: "Buy "},
{$type: "em", $text: "now!!},
],

you have this:

$components: [
"Buy ",
{$type: "em", $text: "now!!},
],
