You have to understand that, nobody will ever use your password manager in it's current state. There's little to no reasons to trust it whatsoever. I do like the search features though.
They are. cat199 no doubt meant to say that TrueType and PostScript generally use vector (outline) fonts, not raster (bitmap).

They are both capable of providing bitmap fonts as well, but those are less commonly used.
I can't think of a way to do that without actually storing the plain text password. If it is in fact plain text, the irony is that by enforcing such "strong" password requirements, they've actually made the overall system less secure.

It certainly is suspicious that people were fired "for performance reasons" when the company is unable or unwilling to provide the performance data that would support that assertion.

But, on the other hand, these employees were probably "at will", so the company does not need to give any reason, or even to publicly justify the firings in any way. So it could be that "performance" is the lie that they believe to damage ongoing recruiting efforts the least.

Or it could be that they have determined individual performance assessments to be useless in the face of the more objectively measurable department-wide performance numbers.

All I know for certain is that I won't be sending them any applications or resumes until they can elucidate their motives behind this.

The simplest explanation is that the company isn't making money and investors are getting antsy about bankruptcy.

It's hard to do any kind of nuclear reactor in space. You don't have bodies of water or even an atmosphere so radiative cooling it is, and that requires huge radiators. They alone weigh a lot. You must pipe coolant through them. What about micrometeoroids? You probably have to have valves to shut off leaking radiators.

You don't have gravity so you don't have convection or separation of gas and liquid. Hard to test such systems on Earth.

You can't make repairs easily.

Another simple option for limiting complexity (I've considered implementing this in my GraphBrainz project): in the `context` provided to the GraphQL query resolver, increment a counter whenever a resolver requires fetching from an external API/database/etc. (whatever "too much of" would constitute abuse or just take a long time). Fail if the counter reaches some threshold. This would be really easy.

Also, instead of multiplying node counts like GitHub does (which is pretty clever!), another simple option would be to look at the depth of the query (how many levels down is the deepest leaf), and fail if it's over some maximum. This is also very easy to do as you get the query AST in the `info` field of the resolver. (This one is less effective than the one above since depth doesn't totally match up with resource usage, fields can be aliased, etc. but you get the idea.)

If you're trying to become a millionaire making trash like Uber for banana hammocks, sure. Small businesses do just fine outside of dying small rural towns. Midwestern cities have plenty of work in my experience, it's just not the sexy "let's trick ourselves into thinking we're changing the world with our app" kind of work.

I mean, you're not wrong that there's a malaise going around the country in a seriously troubling way. We live in an era where remote work is very doable for many of us and there's no good reason we have to all live in coastal cities. My reflex is to blame the VCs for this, but there's plenty of other businesses that also don't do it for whatever reason. IMO this mindset needs to change, and quickly.

Cortical columns exist [1]; think perpendicular to the surface of the cortex [2, 2nd image, or just image search "cortical column"]. This is due to the morphology of cortical neurons. My understanding is that a column can be thought of as a functional unit, and passing information across columns adds complexity.

Of course biology is messy and there's tons of variation depending on which brain region you're looking at, but Visual Cortex was one of the earliest places this was observed. It gets complicated and detailed quickly, and I'm somewhat out of my element here.

Another problem is the failure rate and time to failure. Even when we didn't use it often, my unit failed in about 6-8 months. My replacement unit failed in less than 6 months. MS refused to send me a replacement for the 2nd unit. It was a missed opportunity because Kinect was there much earlier than Amazon Echo. MS just wasn't as committed to improving it.

The article and some other comments here honestly just made me nostalgic for the first Apple computer I owned, an early generation "unibody" cast aluminum MacBook Pro.

It was, bar none, the easiest modern laptop to open up and service I've ever worked on, and I did that professionally for several years. Simple screws, minimal variation in screw size, solid steel parts, no silly plastic tabs, and nothing that felt like "this didn't need to be taped in, but using tape/glue/whatever sure makes it easy for official warranty support people to tell if you've been tinkering around in there."

Replacing entire logic boards, or doing even trickier work like re-cementing CPU heatsinks, was incredibly easy and intuitive even without a manual (which was fortunate, since the official maintenance/manual documentation was pretty expensive to get access to legally).

Apple gets a lot of crap for the declining serviceability of their laptops, but remember that it wasn't always this way. Things have gotten way worse, and for pretty transparently dumb reasons.

The "tamper-proof" screws were the stick that broke the camel's back for me; I was willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt regarding hyper-restrictive hardware compatibility checks and proprietary connectors, but when they made the physical tooling itself pointlessly expensive/difficult to get (torx was already a widespread standard; why give pentalobe, already a bastard stepchild, more market share?), I started being a lot more suspicious. Where were the people surreptitiously opening up laptops and stealing RAM? Or installing hardware keyloggers? Instead, "tamperer" turned out to be basically the same as "hobbyist", "non-blessed repairman", or "curious kid who wants to know what the inside of their computer looks like".

And the party line I've heard from colleagues who work for Apple is inane: "it damages the reliability of the brand to let anyone poke around inside; they can break stuff!" Any hobbyist, aspiring geek, or unsanctioned technician knows what they're getting into. Anyone in those groups, or anyone handing their computer over to such a person, isn't going to blame Apple when tinkering/inspection causes issues (if they do, they'll be laughed at by anyone who hears them). Either it was broken and the maintenance/tinkering fixed it, it wasn't broken and it was after being opened up, or it was broken and remained that way.

Sigh. End rant. I miss the good old days, I guess. Snow Leopard and hardware that was elegant, simple, and easy to fix and use.

I'll go back to working on my lawn now, so I can tell kids to get off of it. Monsanto considers it an illegal modification and TOS violation to water the MiracleGrass I planted, so now it's all dead and I have to seed it again.

I don't worry a lot about my phone having a miniscule probability of unlocking for someone else. I like security, but I don't actually think anyone is after my phone (YMMV).

On the other hand, if I can't unlock my phone quickly and reliably, that's a pain in the ass. I know that, because my kid dropped my iPhone 6s just the right way, and TouchID hasn't worked for months.

Photons have an anomalous magnetic moment. Not going to pretend to be qualified to explain it, but if the photons and gravitons are originating from a region with electromagnetic fields, the photons will be slightly retarded compared to the gravitons which as far as we know do not interact.

> I bought it for my kids. Turns out, the Kinect is awful for kids.

What's sad is that it could have been great, if MS just put a little more dedication and effort towards it. The Kinect Sesame Street games had so much potential. Hopefully another company can do better. Could be wrong but I think Apple bought the company behind the original Kinect's technology
And that may be the case. But just because it's often/sometimes/always/never the case we can't assume on an individual basis.

I can't wait. I'm in the NW and housing is to the point that a 'starter family' is incapable of living in a 'starter home'. Studio apartments $1,200+.
I try to think about whether the account is sensitive. I use long random passwords and 2FA for the very few really important accounts. Especially mail and social accounts since those are used to recover other passwords.

For all those 90% of places where the data protected by the password isn't valuable, I just use a crap password. Usually the same password everywhere suffix with with something from the domain or whatever.

All those forums I needed to register just to use the search, or the mandatory registration to download a software trial.

Same with all those passwords that I need to enter on a TV remote or console controller: I just use a crap (short lowercase) pass and hope for the best. I don't consider the account worth protecting so long as I can reset the password with my (well protected) email account.

I must have 100+ accounts registered but maybe 4 that I really would worth about being stolen.
Okay, so, having established that this is something you personally use, let me try being less combative in proclaiming it broken.

So I agree, in principle, that the idea of letting your document be public is a good one. Then it could work like public-key cryptography. Even still, my concerns would be the following:

1. You are still guarding the "secret" of how you generate those passwords. That cannot be known, or your security breaks down. Is your algorithm sufficiently resilient to reverse-engineering that it won't be obvious to an attacker who sees a password that is compromised during a breach? If so, great! Personally, I can't see myself coming up with a one-way hash in my head that would not be trivial for someone else to figure out. I don't think the average person can, either.

2. You mentioned non-uniform password complexity requirements, which means that your algorithm (or algorithms) need to be able to accommodate that. I, again, feel like that would be very difficult to juggle. You're now remembering not just one algorithm, but several, and possibly several variants within.

3. Based on what you have to track just to know what algorithm to use, it sounds like your spreadsheet already has four or five columns: the site, the username, the password rules (which I assume is the "hint" that you use to tell you to use Algorithm A/B/C or Algorithm A var. 2, etc.), and the number of times compromised. At that point, I don't feel like the convenience of a "secret-free" document that doesn't need to be kept hidden outweighs the mental effort required to maintain the sheet and keep all processing within one's brain.

4. Your algorithm may be tweaked for the "max" the site will allow, but I imagine most people's are tweaked only to the minimum. What is nice about the password manager is that since I don't have to remember it, I can make the password arbitrary long. If the site allows your passwords to be up to 50 characters, I make it 50 characters. Always. I could never do that if I were forced to memorize it (unless it were a password phrase with some vowel-to-number/special char substitutions, but crackers have shown that rainbow tables already account for those).

It may well work for you. I just don't think it's a good idea for the average person.
>> Something like a Kinect mocap system would add bodily presence in the VR environment.

I personally spearheaded a couple of projects to make it work with the Vive in this way.

Unfortunately, the Kinect's tendency to screw up leg motion, SDK's and API's that read like an old grimoire of Black Magick and worked about just as well, as well as it's proprietary skeleton detection drivers, which prevented me from getting in and fixing a lot of these issues, which caused the company I worked for to drop it completely.

a focus on 'developers developers developers' could've really saved this thing.

I agree with you - but we are increasingly moving toward a state where no community wants to grow or change esp in the Bay Area... which is not offering much for the next generation. Last I saw it’s something like 40% of those under 30 in CA live with their parents. Does it have any room to go up?

Almost never. I do have it synchronized across a few devices, including my phone (which is PIN protected, plus my password manager has its own different PIN, and requires passphrase after a reboot).

For the couple passwords I have to enter on other devices (like Netflix) I often just create them by hand, and choose something easy to type on an on-screen keyboard, and then store it in my password manager. For example: "assdeeeerffghhhjuiop". If the keyboard is sorted alphabetically instead of QWERTY, I'll adapt to that.

I generally only have to type this in once or twice a year so it's not a huge deal.
