> He has a colorful personal life

I think the gp was referring to what accusations people have made of McAfee since he sold the company.

Showtime aired up a documentary[1] about him. I think "colorful personal life" can only be interpreted as a euphemism since he was accused of murder, rape, running a local armed gang, fleeing the country from the police, etc.

I have no reason to believe Kaspersky will have similar issues as I suspect McAfee was eccentric from the start.

Yes, for example.

Last time I checked Neko needed mod_neko.

Is there a better way these days?
The house is only a few years old, so has the state mandated sprinkler system. Interestingly, it does get fed off the water main, which I know because it prevented me from getting a house wide water softening system. It's a 2" main because it needs to feed all the sprinklers, and it has a notice posted that it's illegal to impede the flow because of that (and a softening system that could handle that is much more expensive).
Events like Brexit and Donald Trump are only the start. If economic conditions gets worse for the disadvantaged, it gets worse for everyone.

Yeah, what possibly use could there be to launch other programs from other programs? Come on now.
I bought mine through a mechanic/dealer, and had them fix the IMS bearing, rear main seals, chain tensioners, and switch to a metal water pump. Those were the main recommended preventative fixes I heard about.
Maybe take pics of serial number of things, and also appliances and things you need to leave behind.

I'm really sorry, I hope your house is spared, it must be horrible right now worrying.

Show HN: From idea to business in one hour – Team JavaScript
Site at: http://www.teamjavascript.com

The idea came an hour ago, but it's arisen from a melting pot of thoughts that have been bubbling for a while.

Suddenly it all became clear.

So I registered the domain on Amazon Route53, built the site on Strikingly in half an hour, configured it as a custom domain, and set up the email using AWS Workmail.

Instant business, one hour. Lets see how it develops.

It doesn't necessarily need to be an executable.

Imagine this filter:

- File type: .docx

- Silent Signature: "TOP SECRET//COMINT//NOFORN"

That means all word documents with:

- the "top secret" classification

- in the "Special Intelligence(ComInt)" area

- marked as "No Foreign Nationals"

will automatically be sent back to servers for review.
Reminds me of this, by the author Steve Aylett:

"I certainly don’t think in words. I’m not sure that anyone does. Does anyone really think in sentences, like in films when you see someone thinking and you hear a voice-over? I don’t anyway, I see stuff visually, as shapes, colours, textures and mechanisms sort of hanging there in space. If there’s a hole in someone’s argument I visually see a hole in it, in the armature and mass of the thing. I’ll see the shape of a whole book that way before it’s written, and so far, the books have all ended up the way I saw them originally."

It turns out that not just in economic theory, but in practice as well, it is both more efficient and probably even more fair, to allow markets to function and innovators to compete, and let government take care of redistribution.

It turns out our government is less concerned with effective redistribution to the poor than it is with redistribution to the rich and to itself. If government can screw this up so badly, what makes you think they can micromanage the salaries of millions of businesses?

WHO NEEDS a ETHICAL HACKER?
A friend of mine shared a testimony of him working with a ethical hacker he met online and how professional he is, so i told him to link me up with the hacker. Then i gave him a job to hack my cheating wife's iphone because i noticed she makes secret calls and whenever i show up she ends the conversation. But unfortunately, after the hack was completed i discovered that the 8 months old baby i thought was mine was actually for another man she was still having an affair with. I'm sad but glad i discovered this at a very early stage before it gets too late. This ethical hacker is the best at what he does. I also gave a friend his contact and he is currently helping him increase his credit score and remove eviction off his record. Don't fall for scammers, i know how it feels to actually loose your hard earned money to them, i've been a victim ones and i wont want that to happen to someone else. So contact this professional hacker at spystealth(dot)org(at)gmail(dot)com for issues concerning hacking. You won't be disappointed.

I meant tampering via a side channel attack (e.g. forcing a bit flip that ecc would protect). It doesn’t matter if your data types have referential integrity if a hacker could disable that protection.

What I am arguing against is saying a typesafe language obviates the need for ecc memory.

Most places an application without a degree wouldn't make it far enough through the hiring system for anyone to actually read it.

I have interviewed a few youngsters who were self taught though, but they lacked a lot of the basic theoretical knowledge about things like best practices. So while they may have been superstars at producing interesting prototypes I frankly couldn't use them in an enterprise environment.

On the other hand I've interviewed a lot of people with degrees who couldn't get their code up and running in a production environment because they had never actually done that. This is a lot easier to rectify than someone who doesn't understand how our peojects are run.

I'm sure this is different from place to place, but in Denmark where education is free, and the government pays you to go to school, it's really rare that talented people haven't gotten some sort of degree.
>>Political power wins out in the end

Well actually its economic power. These people just have to pray technology doesn't get cheaper with time.

I remember in the 90s an entire generation of Indian workforce lost jobs overnight, for decades they fought computers and software. They bought in regulations, laws and what not. Unions fought 'computers' tooth and nail. Yes, you read it right- they were against the very use of computers.

When the prime minister called for use of computers in India in the 1980s there was a national strike.

Eventually it became impossible to not use computers without slipping into an economic stone age. People had to give way.
> So, how do you solve problems in C that users of other languages would do with classes? One very common pattern in C is just to do the same thing unofficially.

I started programming before OOP was widespread and I remember when I first had to use it. I put all my code into a single class which had a single instance.

However, I feel that it's the other way round now. People have programming with classes so ingrained that they can't break free even when working in non-OOP language like C. They simply emulate C++ in C.

The good old procedural style of programming is rarely seen nowadays.

How do you know it was a conscious decision, as opposed to ordinary human oversight? As the old saying goes, never ascribe to malice what can be adequately ascribed to incompetence.

If you won't stand behind your words, I'm quite happy to share your view that they're not worth it.
I'm no economist and I'm generally in favor of paying people living wages. However, it is my naive opinion that high minimum wages will just speed up the push towards automation. So they are just a stopgap measure before the formerly poorly paying jobs disappear completely.

This might actually be my favorite post in the thread. It's a nice list and it doesn't require leaving the page to visit links. Having it in one spot is a handy thing, especially while in the midst of a stressful situation.

Panic will probably harm more people than fire or smoke. Anything to reduce stress is a good thing.

It is unrealistic, but it would be nice, to have everyone take some lessons in coping with emergencies. There are almost certainly local classes in emergency preparedness, and some varied levels associated with it.

So, in addition to the fine list above, I'd suggest that folks consider such courses in the near future - as well as taking refresher courses. My area has drills and training for citizen/volunteer search and rescue, more so than dealing with other disasters. They even offer free first aid training and classes for pay with some certifications as the result.

If anyone is interested, I'd check with your local fire department, EMTs, or police.
This is among the better guides I've seen.

In addition to documentation and preparation generally:

* Communicate and plan ahead with your family and/or household. I would strongly recommend that if there is someone who can not (or will not) cooperate under crisis conditions, evacuate them in advance. Fighting with others in a life-critical situation is about the worst possible complication. (Dementia, personality disorders, age/disability, etc.)

* Have a bug-out bag ready. In your vehicle if at all possible. Take what you need, and cannot easily replace. Leave everything else.

* Plan multiple escape routes, and have multiple plans ready. A critical element of fire disasters is that normally-safe routes suddenly aren't (and are clogged with panicked people unfamiliar with the area).

* Set priorities now. Realise that if you need to take on passengers or change vehicles, you may not be able to keep everything you've put in your own car. I'd err on the sider of under-packing.

* Moving flammable items away from windows may help your house. Curtains, any lightweight or synthetic fabrics, especially.

* Do not leave taps running, but if you have hoses do leave them connected to spigots. Pre-damping surrounding areas may help, but turn off water before you leave to preserve water pressure. (There's more such advice in this link.)

* Have multiple copies of data, and hardcopies of maps, plans, contact, and related information.

* Pre-arrange an emergency / reconnection contact, preferably well outside the emergency area. Realise that phone and other comms services may be down.

* If you have pets, get them squared away, and perhaps keep them in cages ready to go until the danger passes.

There are numerous other steps that can be taken, though much of that should have been done a while ago. Those who aren't waiting for flames to march down (or up) the ridgeline might start thinking of those.

The Bdale Garbee list is a solid one as well, listed elsewhere.

As someone who's had all their stuff be burned, the one thing I would say is this - too many things that we saved were replaceable. The things that we missed were the ones that weren't. Even though you have an expensive fancy camera that you want to save, if that comes at the cost of leaving behind the quilt your grandmother made, leave the camera. Especially if you have fire insurance. Money can replace pricey things. It can't replace sentimental ones.
How is the Lavabit case an instance of the government misusing its power? The government got a court order to monitor the metadata of an account of a user that they had probable cause to link to a crime. (The alleged criminal had already admitted to the crime.)

Lavabit had previously complied with search warrants to obtain data for users suspected of dealing in child pornography. https://www.docketalarm.com/cases/Maryland_District_Court/1-...

When Lavabit delayed implementing the monitoring they had agreed to, losing forever the ability to collect data generated during that time, only then did the government effectively put them out of business.

A backdoor does not necessarily have to be in the form of a door, a wall made from cardboard will do just fine as a backdoor.

Putting a complex piece of software that you cannot disable, that is potentially reachable from the network, and that won't be updated into every machine is the software-equivalent of building a safe with a cardboard wall: Even if it's not intended as a backdoor, it still has to be treated as a de-facto backdoor for security planning purposes, and whoever uses cardboard to construct a safe wall is to blame.

Also, you do not judge security based on what has already happened nor on what you can prove to be insecure. The default assumption is that things are insecure, unless you can demonstrate that there are good reasons to believe that it's not--just as everywhere else in reliability engineering. A bridge is not assumed to be safe to use until it collapses or is demonstrated to be unsafe--a bridge is assumed to be unsafe to use until it is demonstrated that to the best of our current understanding of how to build reliable bridges, there is no reason to expect failure. A bridge where the builder makes a secret out of how the bridge was built is never considered safe.
Unfortunately, HN policy prohibits my changing this title.

PBS did a good report on this development: Sinclair Media is the biggest owner of local TV news (reaches over a third of homes across the nation), and are working towards a merger to control a bigger share yet. However, they are pushing out certain talking points (and other things that have been criticized) across all these stations (these are illustrated in the PBS report).

>The failure is one of government. Trillions spent on the War on Poverty with little to show for it.

What we really need to do is bioengineer people to be about 10 inch tall while retaining the same or much better mental capacity (through neural lace/ brain running on super computer phones or whatever-preferrably self sovereign and free from nasty spyware or whatever ha). This would solve the housing crisis, make space travel much easier, and make feeding the population vastly easier. Right now it takes 1/5 acre of soybean for a person for a year. Imagine if it took only a couple of plants to do so.

Farm in your own tiny house via exoskeleton/ hydroponics and thats enough food, you basically dont have to work, and there would be enough extra land for people to techno—minecraft the countryside and get to other planets on cellphone rocket sized space ships.

Israel (Mossad?) can hack something in Russia, see tools and recognise those tools as top secret NSA gear. Do you wonder how they made that recognition? Were they shared with Israel so they knew, in which case the source could have been Israel being hacked, right? Or they knew because hacking the NSA is something multiple nation states have done. I'd be completely amazed if the NSA wasn't absolutely full of spies acting for foreign powers and organised crime.

At this point should you just fire everybody in the NSA and start again? If not, why not? I'm struggling to see genuine competence in improving the security of Americans amongst the constitutional attacks on the citizenry, attacks which most definitely have the opposite effect.

I am not completely certain, but I think both of those systems were completely independent of the municipal water supply. I'm 99% certain, at least.

I don't think any company should take on the role of parenting (presumably) grown ups, or worse yet children. I don't appreciate the idea that because an individual parent might teach their children morals and the social contract (nevermind the freedom individual parents have to raise their children according to their own subtle ethical codes) that it would be appropriate for large internet services to do the same for their users with machine learning.

It should remain with the people to argue with each other and change their views, not with black box magic woven into the communication medium.

There's not a lot of attribution going on here, though. Take the WaPo story, they just tell us what's possible and leave us to draw conclusions ourselves -

“That’s the crux of the matter,” said one industry official who received the briefing. “Whether Kaspersky is working directly for the Russian government or not doesn’t matter; their Internet service providers are subject to monitoring. So virtually anything shared with Kaspersky could become the property of the Russian government.”

Late last month, the National Intelligence Council completed a classified report that it shared with NATO allies concluding that the FSB had “probable access” to Kaspersky customer databases and source code. That access, it concluded, could help enable cyberattacks against U.S. government, commercial and industrial control networks.
