It does matter. Someone could replace his public key with a fake one. Everything that would be encrypted so that only he could see it could end up in wrong hands, because somebody would trust "I'm encrypting using his public key, I can tell anything to that guy", and the bad guy would read it.
Lol that is not a single bit error in the slightest. Like that’s the same as reducing airline accidents to just being one little mistake or similarly just casting off challenger as a materials failure.
What do you find are the tradeoffs vs. working with Elasticsearch or Solr?

But great job, I've bookmarked your post to come back to and I'll give it a shot for sure. Definitely very enticing.

I worked at The Image Group a few years after Rob left, and one of the designers there confirmed the story.

> "I took a rejected template from a project at work"

The version I heard was he pitched this as the actual website for The Image Group, except it had different colors and the boxes where on the left instead of the right. Crazy to think if ownership had accepted it.

Side note: I built sets with Rob in high school: crazy and all around nice guy. Very high energy back then. I'll never forget his rant/love letter for Pascal I heard one day during a break.
Heh, an extreme interpretation of that statement could be that Kaspersky considers the NSA to be a "cyberthreat"...
”Your password might be displayed instead of your password hint if you used the Add APFS Volume command in Disk Utility to create an encrypted APFS volume, and you supplied a password hint.

Changing the password on an affected volume clears the hint but doesn’t affect the underlying encryption keys that protect the data.”

They go on to advise users to do a backup, format, restore cycle.

I guess they are that paranoid because the old password may have been leaked, and, with it, the attacker may have recovered the encryption key for the volume. Or is something else going on?

They also advise (rightfully so): ”If your disk password for any affected encrypted APFS volume is the same as the password that you use for a macOS user account or an internet service, you should change the password of the user account or internet service”
I was on slashdot from the very early days until way too recently. In 2011, I joined a startup company of young guys and one of them saw that I had a slashdot page up. He said, "Slashdot is for old people. Let us show you Hacker News".
My guess would be very compatible, except perhaps for the fingerprint reader.

It seems like a joke, but the amounts make sense.

It can't be so expensive that all of the inspectors' combined bribes become too expensive for the least able institution to afford. You don't want the bribes to be such a burden that someone complains, either. When you're inspecting possibly multiple businesses in a day, 5 days a week, all those "cheap" bribes add up to a nice tax-free bonus paycheck on top of what the government is paying you to do the job.
This works well if you are mainly a lurker, but not if you're looking to engage in a conversation while it's hot. For me, the article is often just an excuse for discourse around its themes, which I find much more stimulating.

My personal angle for solving this problem of spending too much time sifting through news/comments is an auto-tagging and summarization platform built in Python with rss feeds as both input and output, sending the output to a self-hosted TTRSS instance. I plan to also store the output in a database with robust query support.

Of course they are. They have teams of hackers and security experts working on offensive and defensive cyberwarfare.

Re: Spying on the homeland, governments generally regard the domestic population as a threat and and enemy.
You can be sure ... probably

So which one will it be?

On a more serious note: this really depends on the person in question. Not everyone has that state of mind it takes to be extra wary when you find yourself in a similar situation where it went worng before. I've worked with people who made pretty severe mistakes, were pointed out, nodded 'yes', only to just make the exact same programming mistake a few months later. And again, and again.
I imagine, there's also going to be add-ons that make this even more accessible.
I wish they'd spend some time testing font sizes in macOS. I'm either going blind or the font sizes on macOS, especially things like tab titles, are getting harder to read.
Given the amount of crashes I see have existing applications to large titles that also doesn't seem to be the case.
I'm on the same boat as you, building my first deep learning box as we speak. What I've understood is the following:

if you want to build, or grow your build over time to multi-GPU deep learning machine, you are better off server-targeted Xeon family processors instead of this consumer market oriented Core line. Xeon processors typically support 32-40 PCIe lanes, while Core processors support 16. I read that with typical deep learning loads, utilizing 8 PCIe lanes per GPU is good enough, so with 32-40, you can go up to 4 GPUs.

However, instead of spending tons of money and building a perfect basis for a hypothetical future DL box from the get-go, I decided to just start with cheaper parts and go with single GTX 1080 and Core processor. When I hit the limits of it, I probably know more what I need and likely the technology has advanced too.
I have an Atom 2in1 and Edge is unusably slow and buggy on it. Chrome and Firefox work fine. It's also impossible to click and select part of url as it jumps around.
The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception
I have doodled away many hours on Net and Pearl :-)
I agree with you. There is nothing to see here.
But that's not what's going on here. It's not that anyone has taken a stand against business motives or impersonal exploitation of incidental intimacy, within the context of this particular story.

In these anecdotes, the people mentioned are rebelling for different reasons, in an effort to control choices relating to personal habits, as they modify what are perceived as necessary social obligations and compulsory public behavior, when interacting with modern technology and devices.
I recognize the thrust of this argument, and anecdotally agree with it from my experience,but it's not practical advice. Work 12 hours, spend at least 30 minutes each way commuting,work out, prepare and eat meals, and you're at pretty nearly 15 hours, without counting preparing for work. Sure,you have time for sleeping 8 hours,but only if you eschew any personal life and find your work sufficiently exciting to not see any need for recreation/fun all week. Dropping to about 6.5 hours of sleep at least doubles time for those things each work day.

I've tried maintaining 8 hours of sleep daily in such conditions. What I've found is that I'm productive for two days. By Tuesday or Wednesday night, I'm frustrated and bored, and spend 3 or 4 hours doing something interesting and, bam, week derailed. For me, 6.5 hours is the compromise that works. Plus, I sleep 9 hours on Friday and Saturday nights.

Because if you're comfortable, it's probably because either you aren't trading enough for it to be worth the time (it's a hobby) or you have so much in the bank that trading performance is mostly about whether you can afford a Monet.
How?

1. Lack of automated unit tests covering the code in question.
2. Lack of automated functional tests running through scenarios of setting up an encrypted volume with or without a hint.
3. Lack of strict review process for the disk utility's codebase.

This assumes automated tests are also peer-reviewed.

1 - 3 won't guarantee a bug-free project, but I doubt this bug would've made it into production.
I disagree and maintain that news organizations and information organizations like Facespace, Google News, Twitter, etc, should have a "reliability value" beside links or stories that a large number of users are sharing or reposting. Even if it's just a simple "2% of users found this unreliable information" or "97% of 104 users find this source to be reliable."

To say that the information distributors can publish whatever they want and the responsibility of information accuracy and quality must fall on the layuser, that's just poppycock. That's just a way for the giants to save money while we all get questionable data with which to live our lives. Unacceptable.
That would just delay the problems getting fixed though. IIRC you can pass the installer a flag to skip APFS conversion.
Engineers couldn't see the bug because the code was displayed in Narrow Light font weight, color grey
basically yes, with caveats, the big gotcha is C libraries exposed to python. CFFI helps alleviate this issue, but it's not a 100% identical replacement for the c bindings that CPython gives you. See their website for all the details.
Also consider non-Western languages (CJK, Russian, Arabic). My team got bit by this when we discovered we couldn't render emoji's client-side.
That makes a lot of sense actually. I haven't followed the evolution of Thunderbolt, but if such external GPUs are now fully supported and reliable then it's a bit of an inflection point for laptops.
2016.

The keys are so shallow that after normal use (no crumbs or anything like that) they start having problems.

As for battery life, they had to make it 4mm thinner just for the sake of it, and the screen sucks all the battery. I wish it was thicker but I could actually use it without keeping plugging it in.
You might have had good luck with other engineers, I have definitely encountered people who could not seem to get their head around even basic programming concepts. It comes easy to some given the appropriate time/effort, but I have definitely encountered people who did not seem able to pick it up.

It is also a difficult field given that it is one of the few where you probably will have to drop a huge, comfortable skill set every 2-4 years and start over again with a new codebase, different frameworks, and different languages. That does not happen in finance, medicine and law. If it seems easy to you, try jumping into a well established but poorly written project, built using libraries/frameworks you are not super familiar with ;).

I definitely agree with the hours thing though, if you establish yourself at a company you can pull off some pretty amazing work/life balance things.
I think the bigger issue here is interest.

I sure as hell would never have enjoyed these games, except maybe Set, as a 5 year-old. My attention span was fit for assembling legos and catching lizards, and a few years later, I became interested in math and programming. Not because my parents foisted them upon me: math because math showed up in school, and I had questions that needed answering; programming because my dad was building a website, and I wanted one too. My siblings took very different paths as well that were similarly organic.

The biggest issue with SQL Server is that it is myopic. The tooling and everything around it is geared toward only SQL Server. The database itself is also geared around only SQL Server...making it a huge pain to get your data out to use it with something else like Elastic Search. It's geared towards being comfortable enough to lock you in and hold your data hostage.
If it's invasive to not post personal data of other people on the internet, then the definition has certainly shifted over the years..

Controlling might be a better word, in that I request respect for my belief that my personal data is my own, to share or not share with whatever corporation I decide.

This is usually forestalled from being much of an issue by being up-front about it. EG, when I see someone new is going to take a photo of me, I try to say something before they take the photo instead of afterwards, and offer to leave so they can get their photograph without me if they seem perturbed.

This way they can decide, "Do I still take this photo, and remember not to put it on Facebook? Or do I take it with the intent to share it despite his wishes? Or do I simply wait 3 seconds for him to move?"
Perhaps you should test your security before you test your (graphic) "design".

Good grief.
I have a samsung evo msata ssd in my x230, it's the primary disk and the HDD bay is vacant. Not sure what your point is about it primarily being a cache - it's whatever you configure it for. And the display is LED IPS, but you're correct on the resolution.

I think for the money savings the x230 w/x220 kbd is attractive. People run egpu setups with them as well for gaming.
I recall that the redesign might have been very ugly but didn't increased the learning curve. Yet, the userbase stuck around and pushed for at least a way to get their old slashdot back. Complaining about slashdot's lack of unicode support was a in-joke.

But then the astroturfing problem blew up and in no time killed slashdot. The community tolerated trolls, even the infamous GNAA, but slashdot's industrial-level astroturfing campaigns in what I believe to be collulsion with site maintainers was something that was massively abhorrent.

Apple needs some internal competition, iOS and macOS should never have been merged into one team. macOS needs a leader that doesn't believe desktop computing got superseded by mobile.
That is a privacy feature, which also drove advertisers mad, but technology-wise, this is completely different.
I agree. As well, these things were called semaphores rather than mechanical telegraphs.

Furthermore, the British Navy sent many cannonballs in their direction during the Napoleonic Wars, which were long before 1834. That might count as a cyber-attack.
> I'm sorry but I just can't take MSSQL Server seriously when it cannot export valid CSV.

“Valid CSV” is a dubious phrase, since the closest thing CSV has to a spec is an RFC that tried to map out the space of the wide variety of inolementations then existing.

Anyhow, SQL Server is a database server; there are a wide variety of ETL tools that will export from the server to any common (or not, really) format you like, including just about any flavor of CSV/TSC you might be interested in.
So just some cutesy styling on a T470p, which seems underwhelming. Was hoping for 3:2 and something a bit more rugged which would also help with heat. The T470p and X270 have terrible reviews on heat.
As a teenager (probably a bit younger than the average HN reader) there's definitely been a change in how we approach social media. Most kids now take advantage of privacy settings to moderate who can see what messages, often creating private or "fake" accounts that only a few friends can see that contrast with their "public" accounts. Ironically the "fake" accounts are more "real" due to the more honest and realistic posts that they only allow their friends to see. Even in public settings, people are moving away from only showing "perfect" images instead favoring a more realistic image.
I haven't thought about Natalie Portman covered in hot grits in some years, so thanks for that.
Their software quality really has become atrocious. Just try recovering your iCloud password from the web. It takes (literally) weeks to do so.

> They placed the charger for their wireless mouse under the mouse so you can't use it while charging, and the list goes on and on--particularly with software.

Ouch, who let the intern design that one?... Kidding, but really did they not QA test this and how did nobody at QA not say this was a terrible idea? I'll stick to my wireless trackball..
The attacker would then be able to read your encrypted messsage (and possibly re-encrypt it with the original key before forwarding it)

Also, PGP keys may also be used to sign software or other public messages (not a typical use-case for journalists, though)
How did Disk Utility.app go from being one of the great built-in OS X utilities to the embarrassing amateurish shit show that it is today?

Perhaps the same people responsible for the file system engineering are also responsible for developing this user-facing application. They might excel at low level system engineering, but they are utterly unqualified to develop a high level GUI application.

Spend 5 minutes with the app and you'll find a half dozen bugs and amateurish mistakes. It's baffling, and it's been a problem for two years now.

The lack of attention to detail by Apple recently e.g. code reviews, in house testing is clearly too low. I have seen too many software failures recently from this company. Like photos freezing on my new iMac (before High Sierra), numerous issues with iOS (I remember the podcasts app wasting all my cellular allowance because it ignored WiFi only) and other nuances, inconsistencies and defects.

Only in iOS 11 have they added tags to the files app - the previous iCloud Drive app had a button for tags but it was seemingly not implemented.

Finding issues in apple products is really like going hunting in a zoo at the moment.

I can't recommend go highly enough.

Not only are the rules simple enough for kids (mine are 5-9), but counting the score is directly mathematical (counting for the little ones, multiplication and addition for the older ones).

the key to go for kids is a small board. 9x9 to start, then 13x13. none of them has graduated to 19x19 yet.
All the laptops ship with a headphone jack so not sure what you are talking about.
Its likely expensive because it is a complex problem to solve. Can you post a link to some of the services that you have found that do this?
If this happened because of a single person's mistake, that's an organization flaw. No individual should be punished for this. Instead, the process (or lack thereof) that led to such an awful bug being shipped should be identified so that something like this does not happen again.

@projekti: If "it doesn't scale", your only option is to meet with your representatives with a lobbying group, and introduce legislation to bring Google, Facebook, and other tech companies under US government oversight with legislation. They will not do this willingly, except possibly under the threat of regulation.
Erm, nope. It's a T470 not a T470p.
QA? QA is for companies that make mistakes. /s
I agree that there is a lot of Russia blaming and such but this article is pretty credible. Only of course US newspapers aren’t gonna be writing about the hacks that they succeed in.
Sadly, errors like this are usually symptoms of organizational problems. Code cleanliness, testing and QA, are all very easy to sweep under the rug, and neglect/abuse organizationally. In the short-term, everything still seems fine. In the long run, problems like these keep snowballing. Once a trend like this starts, the only way to reverse it is via organizational shakeups.

I hope I'm wrong, and that a bug like this happened purely due to dumb luck. But somehow, I'm doubtful.
How is this better than using smtp-sink that comes with postfix?
I'm confused how you think transferring the PGP key through secure means would prevent that. It only (mostly) ensures the message you receive is valid.

They could far more easily gain access to his server through a variety of means and upload a different copy of his key than try and do a MITM or whatever. It's not like he's going to notice if the key changes.

What you're proposing is that an intelligence service is going to MITM you and gain access to the journalist's computer or email server to read the messages you may send him? Why? The messages are unencrypted when read on his system and when typed on yours, so there are far easier ways to get at their contents.
