I have a default password that is very simple ... that I use for most logins ... Unless you're vitally important to my life...

That's all fine if you're a perfect robot. It will turn out that you aren't, though.

You could let one of your important passwords slip to a compromised dumb-password site by mistake; you could fail to appreciate how important a dumb-password site had become to you until it was too late; you could just make a human goof and set up PayPal (or what have you) with your dumb password.

But your personal ability or inability to get this stuff perfectly correct forever is kind of beside the point when you're setting policy. In a population of dozens, mistakes will be made. In a population of millions, mistakes will be legion.

If more organizations followed this guidance, it would make password systems easier to implement, easier to use, and more secure for everyone who did care. It wouldn't effect your practice in the slightest.
- For IPv6 rather than scanning the entire space, we are currently passively collecting addresses from multiple sources and scan specific addresses

- We wouldn't use shodan as we developed our own custom scanners and methodologies of scanning to increase data quality which is extremely important for our customers (cyberinsurers, SoCs, cyberrating companies). We also do some specific things with data which you can check on http://blog.binaryedge.io/2016/11/18/bsides-lisbon-2015/
Website traffic can be vary heavily during some parts of the day depending on demographics. It's good practice, unless you know that traffic profile, to inflate by 2-3x your average page views per second over any time period larger than an hour.

In addition to this, one pageview may produce many requests. Both of these need to be profiled before you can estimate reasonably how much traffic a webserver can handle given it's current resources.

There are some good benchmarking tools that will load the entire page, including all it's resources, and produce a more accurate load measure in terms of r/s.

As a side note, those $5 vultr instances can handle a surprising amount of static requests per second using nginx.
Are you overweight? If so losing weight will likely help your back. If you're just inactive doing core and back exercises will help significantly.
I want to say that I'm really excited for this, because of a very simple reason: I can comfortably browse by album, not just by artist, or at least that's what I'm reading on the project wiki. Most MPD clients do a bad job of letting me do that, and things like MOC don't appear to let me do it at all. As someone with most of her albums being authored by different artists, it looks useful.

I look forward to using it, and thanks for making it free/open source.
It always seemed to me, as outsider, that sex in the US culture is a single topic that is especially uncomfortable to people, far more than in Europe. Just look at the TV/movies or social media rules: you can show blood, violence, guns, all kinds of criminal or deviant behavior, but any kind of nudity will set off alarms, to the point that we need to defend mothers' rights to breastfeed in public because nipples are somehow offensive? And if someone can be upset by mother breastfeeding a baby, then why be surprised that someone else is easily upset by unwanted sexual context of a joke or a conversation? That's simply what happens when society suppresses sexuality as something completely inappropriate outside of bedroom or academical discussions. And also alienation of people doesn't really help, our private space is getting bigger and bigger everyday, and we're more and more intimidated by any casual human contact. Being a hard-core introvert I sort of like it better that way, but that has a consequences that you need to respect other people's right to not give a damn about you, too.
On Working with White People – Part One
Traffic pricing for CloudFront is similar to standard traffic pricing on AWS (e.g. for EC2 instances).
They charge you also per request and user origin a bit extra, so in some cases maybe even more expensive.
I use my raspberry pi to run home assistant to control my IoT devices. I also have another pi mounted on my 3d printer running octoprint so I can remotely interact with the printer.
They should at least say he is the owner of btc-e.com to give it context. The site was used by cyber criminals but it was also a legit operation, much like HSBC.
IANAL, but I interpret it to mean that both buyers and sellers are responsible for understanding what they're transacting, which are likely securities.

Unlicensed securities that are not exempt from the law are illegal to buy or sell.

The implications seem clear to me. Again, IANAL, but a lot of people seem to be commiting felonies, even if they don't know it yet. These ICOs can ruin the lives of more than just the owners.
Yeah, non-blocking disk I/O is painful. I've never had to write code that did enough disk reading/writing to try to parallelise it, so I've never researched the solutions that much. What I don't understand is why disk I/O should require a different API to be non-blocking. After all, network I/O can be blocking or non-blocking with the same read() and write() calls that disk I/O uses.

There must be some reason why no OS offers non-blocking disk I/O in this way, but I don't know what it is.
I once attended some talk or other and that question came up - the answer given was flippant, but I always thought it was oddly perceptive...... "Dreaming"
In terms of finances I think they're the biggest by a narrow margin, but they make up 15% of the membership (a huge chunk of which doesn't even participate), recently withdrew from both sponsoring the Varsity and Venturer programs, have all sorts of exceptions to the way they run the program that no one else does, and a majority supports withdrawing entirely, but sure - let's blame Mormons for a stance the organization had before they even partnered up.
> For long-running tasks, if they are I/O bound you can use non-blocking I/O and event loops. If they are CPU bound, then use threads or separate processes. The two techniques can be combined to scale well across multiple cores.

That combining is what M:N threading is. Green threads are application level threads. "threads" are OS level threads. M:N threading is the ability to take M application level ("green") threads, and schedule them on N actual threads.

> why re-implement the wheel in your programming language?

Because for some things, OS level threads are far too heavy. For others, application level threads don't achieve the parallelism required to efficiently use the hardware available. Combining them should allow scaling well across multiple cores, as you noted yourself. The difference here is that they are part of the language, which means they can be easily and efficiently used without setup by everyone using the language.
One big challenge I've found is the balance between standardization vs autonomy. E.g. monitoring, log formats, deployment, service discovery, etc are things that can benefit from being standardized across all services, but implementing it can be tricky. Too much autonomy and you end up reinventing the wheel (inevitably with variations) - too much standardization (e.g. by providing centralized libraries) can make development slower and create dependency hell.
Wonder if you get feedback about the "that's interesting"?

Too me the problem with accelerators(etc) the information flow is all one way. If you think I'm wasting my time great let me know and why. Maybe I should spend time proving that part wrong.
Yep. “forkIO” creates a lightweight thread. There are also things like “forkOS” to create a heavyweight thread and “forkOn” to pin a lightweight thread to a particular capability (core, more or less).
Sure, I think we're agreeing on the question at hand.
There are lots of ideas in the world, I'm talking about actual action.

I wonder about that to. To me, cryptocurrency is akin to hiding cash under your mattress – except it's digital. You have to figure out security on your own, there's no protection against fraud, and if your money is stolen, it's gone. On top of that, it's wildly volatile as others have mentioned.

For people in nations with stable governments and currencies, access to credit, and nothing to hide, there's no compelling to use cryptocurrencies day to day.

Simple is not the opposite of hard. The opposites are complex and easy.
I used to share the view that in a negotiation, never make the first offer. The fear is coming in way below as your example indicates. Over time, my attitude changed. I found that by constantly interviewing, I could get a feel for the local market, and have a much better idea of where the ceilings are.

For example over a few years and 3 jobs, I found that $120k was about the max for senior devs in my city and tech stack. When interviewing I would lead with "is 120k in the range for this position?". And getting that could sometimes be a stretch. When I found a company offering 10-15% above that, I took it. I knew they were desperate, and the work would probably suck (and I was right) but no overtime and lot's of vacation make up for it (for now).
Recognizing Employee Excellence with the Strive Award
>The shareholders should be the one with power to make decisions, as they own the company.

They don't actually, see:

Consider first Friedman’s erroneous belief that shareholders “own” corporations. Although laymen sometimes have difficulty understanding the point, corporations are legal entities that own themselves, just as human entities own themselves. What shareholders own are shares, a type of contact between the shareholder and the legal entity that gives shareholders limited legal rights. In this regard, shareholders stand on equal footing with the corporation’s bondholders, suppliers, and employees, all of whom also enter contracts with the firm that give them limited legal rights.

http://scholarship.law.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?artic... [pdf]

>The issue with abandoning the maximizing the shareholders profit mentality is that it has to be replaced with something else, and unless we change the way investment works, then it will still be serving the shareholders.

But this is relatively easy! Instead of top level management being rewarded for stock price only, they should also be rewarded for other metrics, like customer satisfaction or how much they lowered the spread between median and mean wages. Hell, we could even allow it to be determined only by share price, but only the share price on a long time horizon, no sales within five years.
Hi!

1 - Its scanning 200 ports

2 - Indeed atm we just provide an overall view, we intend to improve this tool further. We had too many people requesting us custom scans when Doublepulsar came out.

3 - True, please submit an issue on the github so a discussion about this can be started. We like having an open formula that people can change/comment on.

4 - Scans are from last 2 months and will keep changing accordingly. It queries our database rather than doing an active scan!
Plainly put: cycling in snow and rain and -10° C is not a big deal, once you are used to it. The trick is to start in summer, do it every day and just never stop for any weather, e.g. for your work or uni commute.

Obviously you need something that protects you from occasional rain or at least some dry and clean clothes to change into, but apart from that, the seasonal change will not be harsh. It is usually gradual, and yes, you will at some point want to wear gloves, and long pants, at some point even long underwear (or specific biking clothes), but it is never suddenly cold. Actually you become less sensitive to the cold overall. At least that was my experience.

To be fair, I stopped doing that a few years ago, since not having a shower at work makes slightly longer commutes uncomfortable with co-workers and clients, obviously. And I became more and more afraid of my laptop in my backpack, because yes, you will get wet, your stuff will get wet, you will slip on snow, etc.
I think I agree than programming can be a craft - I think of myself as a craftsman, and usually use the term "artisanship" to describe the quality of code. I don't think that it's necessarily a craft, though. Most academic code that I've worked with is not written in a way that I would consider up to my standards, but it gets the job done and is often targeted at expanding human knowledge. In that way, programming can be seen as more like physics or other 'hard sciences'.

Come to think of it, Photoshop is the same way.

If I'm editing a headshot for a pageant contestant (which I've done quite a bit in the past), that's firmly in the "craft" side of things.

If I'm putting together a UX design for a webapp, what's a bit ambiguous - there are design elements that are "craft-like" and there are usability considerations that are "science-like".

If I'm writing a droplet to do batch processing of a whole series of photos I've take on a shoot and have to test that it's doing what I need it to do over a wide variety of inputs... well, we're back in the "science-like" side of things again.

In fact, I would argue that the toolset and even the discipline are almost irrelevant in this discussion. "Craft" versus "science" is a matter of process and mindset more than anything.
Nothing unique really but I have a handful of older ones laying around that used to be purposed as RaspBMC machines. I recently moved everything to Plex with different client devices so I repurposed one Pi to be a print server for my parent's older printer. Another one has been repurposed as an AirPlay client for my outdoor speaker setup using a cheap amp I bought on Prime day.

I also have a newer Pi 3 running Stratux for receiving ADS-B traffic and weather on my iPad while flying.

Aside from Stratux there are definitely cheaper/easier solutions for what I've set up but nothing beats the 'free' hardware collecting dust in the bin.
Not myself, but a friend:

I hear what you are saying and agree with you. A company though for the most part is "Only in it for the money" and I can't feed my family with work satisfaction. I would caution against working for a company that has a problem with me asking for the salary range. The entire point of a job is to earn money.

This is just my opinion though and is in no way a road map for others.
The numbers don't add up.

For example, I get 14 out of 100. Encryption are all 0, yet "Overall" is 3 out of 6. The only other non-zero value is "Number of open ports" (2). 2+3 != 14. Σ0 = 0 != 3.

Obviously, I have no idea what those 12 risk points are. The three encryption points are not explained at all, neither are the remaining nine.

I used one to build a photobooth for my wedding. The raspberry pi controls a DSLR camera to take 4 photos, stitches them into a 4x6, prints the photo and uploads everything to a Google Photos album which was displayed live on a projector.
> with the self-reported perceptions of police (that false accusations are very common), not just in that study town but across the USA and in other countries as well, like the UK

UK police are pretty clear that false allegations of rape are very rare, and are much rarer than either occurances of rape or true reports.
Question - do you see any potential that horizontal versus vertical (with respect to system, not just euclidian space) has to do with cognitive stacking ? For example, is it low level feature detectors in initial visual processing that cause us to jump because they fire a 'snake' stimuli and then higher levels of the cognitive stack catch up and fire 'sorry, my bad' ?
I guess, it gives you extra free storage and workflow contingency. You tell the trucker you need them early. If they turn up early and you happen to have the stuff ready early great - you have some warehouse space freed up. If you're late however - no biggy - the transport is available to take it, immediately, effectively in demand when it is effectively ready. Maximum flexibility, zero additional cost.
You just described M:N threading, and what's being touted in this article as good about Perl 6.
Ask HN: How to deal with false positives by Antivirus for my desktop app

"[...] thinking of themselves as the CEO of Me, Inc; and to survive in the neoliberal world of work, the CEO of Me, Inc must be a quitter."

I fail to see how that's a bad thing. I've never quite understood this notion of tying your fate, your welfare and your livelihood to a single company.

By not thinking of yourself as the CEO of Me Inc. you ultimately become a commodity for employers to do with as they please. At the very least there will be a power differential where the employer will always gain the upper hand in negotiations.

Seeing and marketing yourself as a service provider in a market economy instead will allow you to focus on creating value in lieu of trading time for money. This can be beneficial to both parties. This whole idea of using 'time spent' as a surrogate measure for 'value created' is a large contributing factor to waste in modern economies.

> If the USA believes polygraphs are unreliable

Polygraphs are unreliable. Countries are aggregates to which beliefs can be attribute only by misleading anthropomorphization, however.

They should be. We're not actually there, though a majority of state and federal courts hold them as inadmissible per se, IIRC, largely due to their unreliability.
> I'm not sure it's an employer led effect at all; especially given the size of the SME scene in London.

In the US at least, my experience has been that most employers would rather let a good dev walk than raise his/her salary to match the going market rate, even if said dev has copious amounts of domain knowledge, works well with the team, regularly receives positive feedback on performance reviews, and consistently ships high-quality code.

This is sad to me, but I also think employees are right to vote with their feet and seek jobs elsewhere in such circumstances. Maybe the high turnover will raise some red flags and cause the employer to implement changes. If not, then these employees are smart to leave what I think will prove to be a sinking ship in the long run.
The hundreds of thousands of researchers number, is that just a guess? If it isn't I'd love to see the source.
BTW, I just noticed: No, you cannot realistically have thousands of customers behind the same IP. There are only 65535 TCP ports per IP address, just loading your typical website that loads resources from tons of domains can easily need a hundred ports at once.
A Generalization of the Trie Data Structure (1993) [pdf]
> There could be a straightforward translation between an IPv4 packet and an IPv6 packet and back just by prepending the address with 0s.

I'm guessing you're unaware that this is what you do right now. The IPv4 address space has a map in IPv6 at ::ffff:0:0/96 for being able to listen to both IPv4 and IPv6 on an IPv6 address space. There's also a few other different maps of the entire IPv4 address space for other mixed IPv4/IPv6 schemes.

The problem with any addressing enhancement to IPv4 is you still have to change every software ever (at the very least, you need to know how to craft new addresses), and you still have to change almost all hardware as well. Maybe you can devise schemes that could let some of the hardware in the middle be IPv6-unaware, but you still have to route the resulting packets to the correct location, which means you'd want to update most of the middle hops anyways.
That's 4% for people who are sentenced to death.

The rate for those sentenced for lesser crimes is likely much higher, due to plea bargaining ("plead guilty to petty theft or we'll charge you with grand theft").

That's not really what we're talking about here, though. We're talking about the rate of conviction of those who are proven conclusively to have lied resulting in someone else being convicted of a crime.

Generally such people receive no consequences at all.

For instance, as far as I know the woman in this case:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Rape_on_Campus

has not been charged with anything, despite falsely accusing an entire fraternity house of rape.

The bill does not ban VPN or Proxy in any way. The bill is about dealing with companies providing VPN or Proxy services. From when the new law comes into power they will have decide - either they a blocking resourses from the Roskomnadzor's list or they will blocked too.

That being said it has no direct influence on the end user. You can use whatever you want os long as you know how to. For example hide.me is blocked right now, still - I'm still using it with no technical or legal issues.
Fighting Deployment Anxiety: 5 Tips from the Pros
Men get drafted and get their arms and legs blown off, women can stay home. Spare the women and children in war.

I don't think it's cultural. Most men have an innate desire to protect women, and treat them with special favor. This was the historical way women were protected before they had voting rights. Now, they have both political power, and men still tend to give them the special favor they had before. So it leads to an imbalance in society
I'm glad Perl6 finally went the route of MoarVM. I always felt that ParrotVM (which was supposed to also run Python and Ruby) was a terrible distraction and scope creep. The idea was laudable but it would have required buy-in from the other communities. As much as I like Perl, I don't think that would have been fair to them, as Python and Ruby have evolved into their own respective identities.
