Having practices in case for the event of a hack is obviously good, but it doesn't imply believing that you can't control getting hacked and can't win against the hackers (previous poster's exact words).
But, my understanding of things like the fake news challenge is that their definition of fake news is probrably news that has been shown by experts, scientists, video evidence, scholars, actual investigative journalists, or similar to be demonstrably false.

The alt-right is already aware that scholars, scientists, and generally educated people believe their news sources to be bunk and that has not changed their opinion. So even if facebook or whoever makes perfect software that blocks crazy info wars articles or other news meeting the definition above, conservatives will cry censorship and find another platform because their chosen platform fundamentally disagrees with them on what is true. People don’t use Facebook to be told they are wrong.
I think it’s only that complex and taxing for GUI frameworks that mix CPU and GPU rendering. Like Win32 GDI or GTK+.

For modern GUI frameworks that were designed for GPU, like MS WPF/XAML or Mozilla WebRender, overdraw just use some GPU resources, but that’s it. GPUs are designed for much more complex scenes. In-game stuff like particles, lights, volumetric effects, and foliage involve tons of overdraw. In comparison, a 2D GUI with overdraw is very light workload for the hardware.
Ask HN: How to Crack My Software? (Piracy Follow Up)
Hi HN,

3 months ago I asked you how do you deal with piracy : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15003239

Following one of your advice, I decided to create a tutorial "How to crack my software". The goal is to attract potential customers to my website, explain to them the benefits of buying my software and the risks of pirating it (thus giving some basic advices to avoid virus).

Here's the post : http://autokroma.com/How-To-Crack-AfterCodecs-Without-Virus/

Please tell me what you think !
Thanks
The startup I'm working with right now is building a tool that allows you to create spreadsheet-based business applications.

What I like to call the product is "excel on steroids".

You can check it at www.ninoxdb.de.
Of course, you can stream parts of your page that you don't use React. That should be obvious. :)
This.

Not breaking user space is fundamental to the success of most operating systems today. I read this article I cannot seem to find about Microsoft employees spending months replicating "wrong" behavior in <oldwindows.. win95?> so that applications still ran on <newerwindows... win98? win2000?>. Users don't want to see their applications crashing.

I wish I could find this article again, it's very relevant to your comment.
This isn’t relevant to the fact that upgrading safety and safety support systems is less costly and a smaller engineering task than designing a new reactor.

Upgrades to such systems, including flex interfaces, has occurred across the US fleet in the years following Fukushima, while exactly zero new reactors have been designed and built.

Sure, there are better designs for EDG siting and support system integration. This is completely besides the point. The point is, even moving the whole safety support system kilometers away is cheaper than designing a new reactor, which I think should be a pretty uncontroversial statement to engineers familiar with the complexity of license approval for power reactors.

Yea, probably a good idea. I only even need them when I travel but all the cars I saw at the last airport had Uber and Lyft stickers anyway.

The biggest part of the comment was seeing the taxi driver protest in Seattle when I was there on business. My hotel room window had a view of city hall and I watched a bunch of cabs with a news crew pull up for about 45 seconds and start honking their horns. Then they all left and went back to taking fares.

When I watched the local news that night, the broadcast made it look as if they'd blockaded city hall for the day in protest.

It's the things like that that give me pause when I see bad press around a company that has upset entrenched interests.

Let's say somebody gives you an USB stick and you plug it into your laptop. Which of the following scenarios would you like to see?

1. 0-day in the kernel's USB code. You're part of stuxnet now.

2. 0-day in the kernel's USB code. You're part of stuxnet now. You also get a message that tells you how and where to report the bug that was exploited.

3. 0-day in the kernel's USB code. Your computer crashes. You're not part of stuxnet. You also get a message that tells you how and where to report the bug that was exploited.

Linus is wrong (it happens). Exploit mitigation techniques aren't debugging tools. They're exploit mitigation techniques. The fact that they also produce useful debugging information is secondary.

I thought the spreadsheet revolutionized accounting in the 80’s, not specifically Excel.

My dad brought home an IBM PC in 82, using Multiplan for chemical mixing calculations. He thought it was the cat’s meow. Though Multiplan was the predecessor to Excel, the spreadsheet had been out since late 70’s.
Interesting setup. I found myself looking for a static site deployer a few months back and decided to build my static website with hugo [1] and deploy it from my private GitHub repository with the help of github-bucket [2]. So far it is working fine and I can even move away from GitHub and even AWS with just a few modifications.

The c9 setup is really nice for online page editing and to compile the static pages. I am not quite sure, if I would really use it in my current workflow.

I'm on the market for another startup idea and one of the most ubiquitous advice I'm hearing nowadays is that "there's a startup in every Excel sheet".

From that perspective WSJ is doing a great job in making the bed for these ideas: startups will eventually want to sell to those "Finance Chiefs" which is never an easy job.
I use Artemis in my personal projects: http://www.mrzv.org/software/artemis

It works with mercurial and git. I like the fact it's very simple and straightforward:

- Issues are maildirs in `.issues`, named with hashes

- The original description and subsequent comments are messages in those maildirs

- Metadata like status, severity, etc. are headers on the description message

There are simple commands to list, show, add and close issues. That's it.

If you want a UI to browse issues, just point any mail reader at `.issues`.

If you want a UI to input issues or comments, just set your EDITOR or VISUAL env var to either a text editor or an email editor (I use both: Emacs with `message-mode` ;) ).

If you want a Web UI, just use any maildir renderer (I use mhonarc).

Its interesting to see how hostile HN is towards Cryptos.
Completely ignoring the opportunities that it offers for fund raising Start Ups.
At the same time HN likes to bash VCs that are uptight and how hard it is to find capital.
I think this is a sign that even the tech world is not resistant to legacy thinking.
Just like the legacy thinkers of other industries, like print and brick and mortar commerce were dismissing the new innovation that is happening on the internet.
This time the "internet guys" that are so familiar with the legacy VC model are dismissing the new innovation in VC.

As with most legacy thinker its almost impossible to change there mind with arguments, they like to ponder on the risks and counter arguments, just to stay comfy in the status quo.

Banking, Finance, VC is one of the oldest industries with the least innovation in the last century.

The really smart VCs did already realize that and instead of shuffing their head into the sand. They started proactivaly getting involved into the field

Can anybody think of other examples of products or tools that fall into the category of: “many people use them, even though management tells them not to, because it helps them get stuff done.”

I’m not a mechanic, but is WD40 an example? Or maybe some tool like a hand held circular saw, in home construction?

If we only made decisions based on whether we could absolutely be sure of something with 100% certainty, we would all be paralyzed. Until a fully open-source phone is released that is comparable in quality to an iPhone, we can look at all of the available data and make reasonable decisions.

Aside from Apple’s strong stance and history of protecting the privacy of users, we also have security researchers MITM’ing the traffic sent from iOS devices to Apple, and every jailbreak gives an opportunity to look deeper; if they were acting badly, someone would find that out soon enough.

>> This is exactly what you want if you care about security, but it's not a trade-off everyone is happy with (including Linus).

Let's rephrase that. This is exactly what you want if you care only about security, or care about security above everything else - including your system running at all. People run software for reasons, and they need it to keep running for those reasons. The security folks are not really qualified to evaluate the security risks against all the reasons for all the people running Linux.
It must be all that equatorial velocity...
You've missed the point of fossil. It's not just a version control tool, it's also an issue tracker, code review tool and a wiki and it's all distributed. You can do code reviews and manage issues offline.

I'm hoping for someone to implement these with git-notes. Code review is already covered by git-appraise, but issue tracking and some kind of wiki would be nice. I know there are projects that are working on this but none that are very far.

Git's UI may not be great but I'm already used to it and it doesn't bother me.
He was not really gentlemanly before, he was slimy. He attempted to play innuendo and manipulation game, but he was bad at it. He was not nice guy as in "polite helpful man nice to people around indiscriminately". He was a guy that buys drinks to random women he just met hoping they will have sex with him afterwards. The actual 1950 gentlemen was supposed to buy stuff to show how good potential provider he is, then girl supposedly falls in love, then they marry and he provides while she cares about house, children and him. There was no such intention in these interactions.

Then he moved on to directly state his intentions, which actually worked, because those women were actually open to having one night stands. But that move was not possible for him unless he convinced himself that women in question is worth less then nothing.

But, if his nice guy play would work and they would really fall in love with his nice guysness and then had sex with him, they would be really hugely disappointed next morning cause he was in it for sex only. So I guess it is very good thing all players except him were experienced enough to recognize the situation and seen through his nice guy act.
I'm not sure why we have to accept a dichotomy between guaranteeing hacker-proofness and throwing up your hands and saying you're bound to get hacked no matter what you do.

It's great that you take all those steps and investment. The fact that you still don't believe you can control whether or not you get hacked is a sad reflection of modern software practices, which are akin to throwing together a house out of plywood, newspaper, and gasoline, then asking the security team to place fire extinguishers.
For the record, Net Neautraility does not and is not a legal framework for telling ISPs about how to manage their bandwidth. In its most simplistic terms:

Net neutrality is simply tha concept of treating access to the network (in this example the ISP and the greater internet it connects to) where it does not prioritize one set of bits and simultaneously and purposefully (and typically for the exchange of money) slow down access to something else.

Bandwidth management, or the idea of prioritizing on the fly to ensure quality service, does not inheritantly violate those principals. What does is if the video people paid th ISP money for faster bits and to slow down competitors and/or the ISP slowing down competitors to promote its own services.

Notice it also has no legal framework for specific types of access or information, simply that the pipe should be neutral and non-interfered. In fact, net neutrality laws can help improve privacy and gives more standing for companies to fight back against gov surveillance

Just what I was looking for.

All I wanted to do was change a request header for one host.

After ~15 minutes I now have a transparent MITM https proxy - and I didn't even have to google the openssl command.

Edit: Also, the documentation is excellent as the software.
That seems like a dubious claim to me. In my experience maxing out memory or pcie bandwidth is rarely a bottleneck, and extremely unlikely / impossible with low CPU usage.

Do you have a link or more detail about 'already cramped pipelines'?
> If you don't assume that you will be hacked, then you won't design in auditing, alerting and containment that will tell you when you've been hacked, let you determine what data was compromised, and prevent the attacker from having free reign over all of your systems.

I see a big difference between preparing for the event of a hack, and believing that a hack is inevitable no matter what practices are in place.

Although more and more applications support SAML for SSO, much of the SaaS world is disparate and siloed. There's definitely something to be said for centralised user management on a homogeneous system. User leaves your organisation? Just retire them in LDAP.
Preferences have become a pretty natural part of using a computer, I'm not sure why we can't rely on users trying that when they run into problems.

I would be worried about endless forking of defaults as a feature of newly built tools, leading to a bunch of new tools that will be harder to maintain.

If they can't manage implicit data casting preferences (if those exist, they may not), surely handing them something more complicated like R, MATLAB, or SQL is even worse.
I read that, what I do not get is how the difference in judgement can be justified.

Small companies will instantly get sued and pay fees ruining them for this things. And that already the 1st time it happens. For Uber this is beyond ten finger counting in terms of issues in the past two years.

It is just not having any consequences and by now from the legal side you can conclude that Uber is a repeated offender which has not learned anything from previous cases.

So, my point stands. When will this actually lead to consequences and justice being served?

I think the starting point should be some sort of ownership of personal data, that all my data is mine and any company processing that data should do so only with my approval. It is not their data to give away. Obviously one can not physically own data, but the similarities are closer than with, for example, intellectual property.

If anything happens outside the boundaries of what data processing is allowed, by negligence or malice, this then becomes a matter of civil law. In the case of data leaks it would be up to a court to assess any economic value to the data. A multiple of the value it could have been sold for is what settlements are based on in similar matters, and this also scales well to multiple claimants.

European data protection laws have taken small steps in this direction and I think it is a sound principle.

That’s not the case anyway, since Tether can retroactively refuse to honor tokens that were allegedly stolen. What if the attacker had traded his 30m Tether-USD in exchange for bitcoins? Then the seller of these bitcoins would be left holding the bag, because the central party that is Tether refuses to honor these obligations.

Tether can never be trustless, because it’s credit. Some party needs to redeem tether tokens for USD, and if that party refuses to do so then your money is gone.
