To your edit: Saying bitcoin solves credit card theft for good is like saying gold bars or even just cash solves credit card theft for good. News flash buddy, bitcoin is not a credit system. So it really doesn't solve shit. HN has become a shit show thanks to poorly thought out comments like yours and then the subsequent whinging.

Even forgetting the whole, how do I pay with credit issue. Your post is not terribly insightful, and the facts are thin. It removes particular problems with credit cards and replaces them with others. It doesn't solve theft where you end up (through trickery or otherwise) effectively voluntarily sending your money to a thief, because Bitcoin does not give you any way to reverse charges. It just changes the small details of theft attacks on consumer spending, it doesn't fix a god damn thing.

How does bitcoin solve credit? Last I checked, bitcoin isn't a credit platform.. So even if you want to use bitcoin... you still need a credit card.

In the US, I am basically not fully liable for any credit payment I make for 90 days. I can dispute any charge for that time and it is on the onus of the bank to do something about it or not get their money. The incentives in this case are very pro-consumer.
This suggests that said pensioners only have a fixed, non-interest bearing pool of money to make payments from.

If so is the case, something is badly wrong with the society that extends beyond the realm of economics.
Arguably optionals are monadic.
I don't think "high income inequality" is much of an explanation for why someone has high income...
Apple’s studies/metrics showed that basically no one (5-10%?) used passwords or pins before TouchID.

You already have to educate them to use a password, is it that hard to say ‘and don’t use biometrics either’?
Yeah, well, the biggest spiders I ever typically see are wolf spiders smaller than my thumbnail, so there is that.

Very, very tiny consolation. I'd live with a dog-sized spider if it would mean that corporate management wasn't filled with cold-blooded monsters.
Involuntary commitment is handled through the civil court system and isn't technically considered a "punishment" under criminal law.
I'm not sure prison is likely to lower anyone's risk of re-offending, alas.
Note the if you choose "Save Image" on a Share sheet in iOS 10, the app is given full access to your Photo Library (you are prompted to allow it though).

Looks like this was restricted to write only access in iOS 11.
Maybe Im missing the point, but After reading that I still don't understand why you couldn't just add a permanent column and continually overwrite it.

Actually, no. When you first power on an iPhone, you need the passphrase, not the FaceID. So swapping hardware does you no good unless you also have the passphrase/passcode.

Either way, let's say this attack you're talking about is possible. What % of people that buy this phone are actually going to be at risk of someone taking their phone apart to compromise them in this way? This method you explained is in no way "trivial." If you're Edward Snowden, don't use this feature. Simple as that. But I wouldn't use TouchID if I was Snowden either.

Judging by your last paragraph, though, I'm guessing you're trolling. Have a nice day.
Standard stroke order for any given character is occasionally different between Chinese and Japanese [1].

Characters also have different variants, e.g. the radical on top of 'grass' 草 has variants with 3, 4, or even 6 strokes [1]. There are two 4-stroke variants that look different and have different stroke order. Plus cursive handwriting will often elide and merge strokes to make things flow better.

Full stroke order independence is probably unrealistic (some parts of a character will always be written last), but allowing for some local inversions is probably necessary.

Why Is there a limit on the number of columns I can have, and if something bad happens from having too many, why isn't the limit much lower than 1600, which hopefully most of us can agree is already way beyond absurd?
Reading the linked PDF:

> To counter both digital and physical spoofs, the TrueDepth camera randomizes the sequence of 2D images and depth map captures, and projects a device-specific random pattern.

and

> An additional neural network that’s trained to spot and resist spoofing defends against attempts to unlock your phone with photos or masks.

It's effectiveness is yet to be seen, but the implementation details counter all the points you made.
> Government regulations, flaky hardware, network latency, human error, financial limits, competition, malicious actors, gamma rays, other people's software, power outages, terrorists, dependencies, operating system upgrades, corrupt data, hurricanes, all are conspiring against your software. Can you plan for all of that?

If your answer to all of those is, "No, I can't, so I won't bother, we'll just update the software later," then please excuse yourself from designing anything of consequence and stick to making websites that gobble dollars from advertising, because planning for those things, ahead of time, quantifying them, and being ready, is _absolutely_ the job of engineers, and you're derelict of duty if you don't.
How does keybase make money? I am afraid they are in the business of selling my online identity.
Tom, name made up, is a friend of mine. Sort of... I knew Tom for only a short while but I still write him letters and send him a few dollars every couple of weeks.

When Tom was just 18, he had finished school and was headed off to a large university on a sports scholarship. Not having any money, and coming from a poor family, he looked forward to this. It was going to be his big break.

But, Tom needed a wardrobe fit for a nice university. So, Tom went to the mall and proceeded to steal some clothing. Security tried to stop Tom so he pushed the security guard and ran away.

Tom, of course, went to jail. The DA offered Tom a 30 day sentence in a plea agreement and Tom, deciding his life was over, took a razor blade and cut his own throat.

Tom's 30 day sentence resulted in 10 years in a State mental hospital. Curiously, when he was released from the mental hospital, they still made him serve his 30 days.

Tom, now having nothing and a giant scar where normal skin once was, tried to meander through life as best as he could. This is where I met Tom. Tom loved drinking and doing drugs. His childhood years of experimentation had been lost to the system and Tom was making up for that. Tom and I had good times. I eventually moved on and no longer spent time with Tom. I'm not sure who was a worse influence on who, but that's immaterial and a story for another time.

One day, Tom had had enough. He just wasn't going to function and decided to end it all. He went down to the facility where he normally met his providers and took someone hostage. This, of course, resulted in the police being called.

Tom, for all his brilliance, was having none of it. The police came through the door and Tom attacked the first one through the door with his knife.

I'd like to say he put up a good fight, that he gave a good showing, and that he fought long and hard. No, he did no such thing. Cops being cops, Tom hadn't made it more than a couple of steps before they shot him.

Tom survived and is now back in that same State hospital. His letters tell me that he is even back in the same room. He expects to remain there for the rest of his life and likes to think he was sane, but just desperate, when the shoplifting occurred. He strongly suspects the system has made him even less sane and even more unstable. He seems to be okay with spending his life there.

All for some clothing to fit in at university...
The comment is not saying that prison will lower the risk of re-offending, but that it will lower the risk of impacting other people until the risk of re-offending falls suitably low (e.g. due to other means like treatment).
> Do you think importing data from CSV can make the process faster?

Yes, I would like to see import from CSV as an option. Lots of people will have data already in the file, so asking them to enter one by one can be pretty unattractive option for them.
For example, I created https://techevents.co/ - tech events aggregator and have a huge DB of tech events. So I was thinking to add a map of "Tech Communities per Country" (or Tech Events Per country) based on avg monthly attendees count that I can get from DB report. And in that case CSV option will be great for me, I will just export DB report to CSV and import to http://www.mapjot.com/

> Also do you think adding country on the fly would be useful in case user wants to add a country?

Not sure, I didn't feel the need of it myself.
I see the client source is on github (yay!), but what about the server source? Is this service federated? If not, then this is yet another silo'd solution (with a proprietary backend) dependent upon a single company to maintain..

Nobody's "pretending" they aren't being punished — they were found not guilty, so there legally isn't even anything to punish them for. Instead, they're being treated for self-professed insanity. I think that's why it's framed as a due process question.
Unless you're taking serious action shots on a violently shaking platform, even a hand tight 1/4-20 isn't going to shake or blow loose. Is loosening a theoretical or actual problem?
Changing the words (or even set of laws) you use to apply to something doesn't exempt it from constitutional scrutiny.

But I wouldn't want to bet on the supreme court deciding anything about this is unconstitutional, they haven't been inclined to in similar situations when it has come before them.
Hardware wallets Do not prevent you from voluntarily giving up your money to thiefs. Social engineering doesn't go away. There are still plenty of ways to steal money from someone, whatever the form. I could always just rubberhose your wallet, is it immune to that? This is a problem with credit cards, but there is a great recourse for it.

2) No credit card I use today (and I use lots for rewards) has any term less than 90 days for dispute. Also all 3 major credit card companies offer $0 liability as part of their terms.

I think we could also prove the absence of XSS vulnerabilities. That would be very valuable.

This is harder, admittely. Mozilla is probably not going to provide the formal model that haskellandchill imagines, unless that model can be automatically extracted from the actual code, which may be possible someday.

Hey - I'm not trying to argue. I apologized.
It would be interesting to take the modeled number of MACHO black holes based on lensing studies and compare it to the modeled numbers of intermediate black holes based on LIGO data. I'd love to know if those two numbers substantially differ.
Novelty is key to entertainment. At some point, having the same three guys show up and fight a villain gets repetitive. The studio likes safe bets because the costs are so high. But you don't get 1977 Star Wars money on things that closely resemble things that came out last year. The movie industry has gone through this kind of cycle before; they enter a very creative few years, and then they go through some greedy lazy years where they try to reissue the things that won a few years ago, tweaked slightly.
I'm just commenting on the moral judgement of 'China is just protecting themselves from evil whitey'.
No. Have a look at this video. It's worth it. He's just saying that you should think before you code and that most specifications should be just a few sentences stating what you intend to do. Code as a blueprint is not the same.

iOS only allows this if you consider your data to be private as long as it doesn't leave Apple (i.e. the garden). This does not mean your data can not be used for profiling purposes, it just means the profiling would be done wholly within the confines of Apple, Inc. If you trust Apple to not use this data for anything but your personal good you can feel safe and secure. If on the other hand you consider Apple to be an (extreme) example of a profit-driven company you'd do well to reconsider whether you want your personal data within their reach.

While it is hard - and getting harder - to evade profiling it is still preferable to minimise the amount of personally identifiable data collected by commercial or governmental organisations. Using an Android device without Google-specific code can help here.
It would be great to see it deployed, but it solves only (1), and even so, not completely. I couldn't find it in the doc, is there a story for revocations? Part of our concern about the PGP story is that malicious servers can suppress revocations. In Keybase's architecture, we've committed to an append-only data structure, which makes it impossible to withhold revocations without being detected. In a decentralized setting, you could do something similar with a blockchain like Bitcoin or Ethereum, but for usability, it would be important to do so without requiring mobile clients to download the entire blockchain. (BTW, that draft cites Keybase as a motivation for their approach :) )
> Dynamic range isn't "range."

In the application under discussion, it's the ratio between the highest and lowest representable illumination level. This is, I think, very clearly “range” in the usual sense.

> Greater bit depth implies more resolution.

But it doesn't, in the same way that frame rate (temporal resolution) differs from run time (temporal range). Now, the difference is in the what the output device does with the data (since data intended to support one use could be interpreted and used for the other, with a 120fps stream played at 24fps with 5 times the runtime, or vice versa), not the representation format, but the whole point of HDR is representing wider differences in illumination, not resolving smaller differences between the same minimum and maximum.
There was definitely a time in the 90's when there was interest in having specialized software engineers/architects produce comprehensive designs for software that code monkeys would be tasked with fulfilling. I wouldn't be surprised if there were places today with strong management bias that thinks of "designing" as high value-add and "coding" as low value-add, and the two tasks as falling under the purview of different individuals.
> I don't accept that.

For a start you need to deal with the laws in China. They apply not only to items sold in China, but also to items brought into the country (eg by customers). Economies of scale make this easier with widely sold products, and more painful for low volume products (higher cost of implementation per unit sold). Repeat for laws in other countries.

My point and shoot from a few years ago had two pages in the manual covering the builtin GPS usage in China.
No, now you have an additional problem, because they might ignore the advice to use a password now that they think their device is secure by default
The quality of the vast majority of my code is evaluated in 'soft' ways. Anywhere from "does this webpages layout work well on all browsers" to "does this AI feel like a challenging opponent" to "did you deliver software results fast enough" to "is the code neat enough and well documented". The part that can be meaningfully tested through any kind of formal system or automation is minuscule and it's very rarely where the problems lie.
>Well, if he is considered sane by trustworthy professionals, then why not?

Psychology as a science is remarkable in its inability to make accurate predictions. I'd ask those professionals be criminally liable if their assessment proves inaccurate.
> The solution is to be proactive. If you are going to walk down the street in an at risk area, you hit the power button five times. If you are about to go through a CBP checkpoint, then do the same.

You and I have incredibly different experiences of policing and detention if, for you, "be proactive when you're at-risk" is appreciably different from saying "don't use FaceID ever".
> Not to open a credit card account.

And there is a large part of the problem. If equivalent to KYC laws applied to credit cards it would likely cut down on criminal's ability to get credit in someone else's name.
There's a map in the albums showing where all the pictures were taken. Also IOS creates memories(machine generated albums) with location names. You'll have to be pretty naive to think it wasn't storing location.
> Your only transition path is backup/restoring an entire device to a newer one of the same OS.

This isn't an option on iOS! When I bought an iPhone a year and a half ago, the 2FA keys were not included in my iTunes device backup, even through backup encryption was turned on. I had to manually create new keys for all seven sites I use Google Authenticator with.

Not to be pedantic, but is this normal in a major(?) publication?
> Study after study is demonstrating that any one of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness practice, mediation, or even exercise benefits patients more than psychotherapy.

First, CBT is also psychotherapy. Secondly, many newer studies have demonstrated the efficacy of psychodynamic therapy as equal to or better than CBT. One study even shows how CBT's efficacy has declined over time.

> without the hassle of entering a PIN

You're right except when your bank is a bunch of consumer hostile idiots that still make you enter the PIN.
With handwriting recognition you differ between online and offline recognition. With online you have the stroke order, which helps a lot for character segmentation. Character segmentation is the unsolved problem for handwriting recognition, at least for Latin scripts. With offline you only have the image of a word. If you depend on online information you can't recognize text from images taken with a camera.
If it's a moral issue, it's hard to give Facebook a pass for going "not my problem." Especially since they have the cash to actually act morally.
It's not just that you can no longer hold backups for an extended period as a form of pseudo archive, but that for those backups you do keep for operational restore purposes, you have to ensure that data that was deleted or redacted under the GDPR right to erase is not subsequently restored during a routine recovery, or is immediately deleted / redacted after the data set is recovered.

This (slightly ironically) will require keeping a record of what data has been deleted from production systems in response to "right to erasure" requests.
I didn't interpret the comment as meaning luck driven. I thought it meant that execution and being prolific can also be factors, in addition to talent and capital. Samsung seemed to learn a lot by trying lots of form factors and seeing which ones sell.
How viable is the interception a http-to-https redirect page? What is the recommended way to redirect users to https?
Right. It's even very commonly the case that disorders are not treatable. Which is why many that are found insane and dangerous are never released from care.

I think a problem in the US (at least by appearance) is that the regular prison system for those found same offers too little rehabilitation and care fit minor psychological disorders such as hyperactivity disorders etc. Locking half as many people up for half as long as they are currently would quadruple resources available to rehabilitate those who need it.

There are only two types of opposition I’ve heard:

1. Now I have to be responsible about the data I collect.

2. GPDR doesn’t go far enough and we should fix it now as it’ll be harder once it’s been enacted.
My old point-and-shoot camera with a built-in GPS receiver can go from completely powered off (battery out) to an accurate GPS fix in under 4 minutes as long as it has an unobstructed view of the sky. So your time estimate is way too high in most cases.

Cell phones are even faster because they pick up an initial approximate location from the cell phone tower and also automatically download GPS satellite ephemeris data.
Actually it can still be stolen, but like an impenetrable safe full of money, of no use to the thief. You’d still be screwed though!

TouchID can be easily tricked. From december of 2014 at CCC: [1]

Its not merely secret service who can do this. Criminals can do it as well. The easy part of it? Your fingerprint is left all over your device. Including likely the one you authenticate with. If its your index finger of your primary hand, its bingo.

A fake 2G cell tower costs 250 EUR on the black market. That's also a bad way to use TOTP. However, 15 years ago those devices were either not sold or still very expensive. That's a different threat model.

FaceID is going to be hacked eventually (the question is when, not if), perhaps in the way you described. Until then it is reasonably good to keep criminals who steal your device at bay. Its also worth it to audit it (try to break it, e.g. in the way you described). State agencies, unlikely to keep those at bay with FaceID, given they can force you to authenticate. Criminals who mug you by force may also be able to force you to remove FaceID, but they may also compel you to give away your PIN. Government has already made devices to bruteforce PINs; we should've swapped to passwords ages ago.

> So we need to write more code to make fancy Photoshop-like editors for the average-Joe programmer who can't see the big picture?

Rather, the idea is to remove layers of unnecessary mental burden and complexity required, similar to how well designed programming language might reduce cognitive load of dealing with the syntax itself (vs the problem you are trying to solve).
