For AWS you can use your yubikey indirectly for now via "Yubico Desktop" or "Yubico Authenticator" which emulate TOTP mode.

You can then go through the "Virtual MFA" flow in AWS and keep the TOTP secret inside the yubikey with a touch requirement.

This is nowhere near as ideal as U2F but it is a huge step above Google Authenticator which stores all secrets in plaintext in an sqlite database.

Also the 2FA support of 1password is entirely cosmetic if an attacker has malware on your machine. It decrypts your entire database against one secret.

I would encourage consideration of solutions that only decrypt the credential being reqested that don't expose the decryption key to the system: https://github.com/lrvick/security-token-docs/blob/master/Us...

Sorry, but something that seems "urgent" to you may not be at all important to me.

Isn't that incentive enough for any entity to deliberately stay below the threshold? Once they cross it, trust in the network, and thus price, plummets. That's reason enough for most to avoid getting that big.

I dunno, I suppose one wouldn't be surprised if a gold conference didn't accept gold payments.

That is, in its current form, Bitcoin is _terrible_ for general transactions. However, given its tremendous market capitalization, it may yet turn out to be a viable way to store value.
No I don't have any reference. But I don't find it soon hard to believe that complex things have knobs while simple things don't.

Thank you, I had not known about about:memory. Interesting.
1)None of the "legitimate" projects you cited have actually delivered any products or revenue.

2)The whole market is up 5x in December 2017 alone, so I wouldn't say 5x return makes you a genius - it's like saying you are performing at that asset class's benchmark. Note, this is also just one sample.

3)If we unpack your reasoning closely, you seem to assume that further upside is inevitable if altcoins get easier to buy. I guess it's unthinkable that these coins accrue through revenue, right?
Perhaps the convenient lies are the opposite?
So true, because no doubt somewhere there was an engineer inside IBM that liked the blinking lights :-). One summer when I was working for IBM in high school I got to work at the 'operators console' for a System 370. Pretty much everything you did happened on a light pen enabled 3270 terminal, except the IMPL (initial microprogram load) button was still a real switch, and the 'load meters' which were pretty neat analog meters that read out system load were useful for tuning the batch queue that was filling in batch jobs when ever the meters showed less than 50% utilization. When it got over 95% the operator was supposed to pause one or more batch jobs. At the time, IBM felt there was no way the computer could know which batch jobs were "important" and which could be pushed off.

Are people now moving on to nvidia cards for mining? I haven't followed closely for several years, but back in the day, it was all about AMD because nVidia's chips were much less efficient at this type of work.

If nvidia is now in demand for mining, are people going for that because AMD is nowhere to be found and they're just going for the next-best thing, or has nvidia gotten better at this?
Who cares about the language when the very premise of the project "code is law" was proven wrong. When the DAO was "hacked" by a "thief", rather than tell people "whelp, code is law and the code executed perfect" the mob (more accurately, those at the top of the etherium pyramid) decided to change history and roll back the blockchain.

Even the language designed to describe the "hack" was garbage. It wasn't a "hack", if code is law, all bugs are code and therefore part of law. There was no "thief" that "stole" anything either. Code is law. Somebody followed the contract down to the letter and made a trade to their benefited. Code is law.

If the central tenant of "code is law" cannot even be held and real meatspace-based humans can modify history at will.... what value does ethereum add at all besides pissing away an unimaginable amount of energy turning non-renewable fossil fuels into heat?

If anybody can modify history.... just use AWS. It's cheaper.
Yes, large roundabouts have horrible throughput vs the space they take up.
My understand when I had a school visit to IBM was it was customers who wanted the lights, as it would look more computery.

Price Manipulation in the Bitcoin Ecosystem
I read this book quite recently. As others have said, it's a great book. However it also had the unintended consequence of putting me off both client and server web development for life. I'm fairly sure I would never be able to write something that was secure. There's far too much to get right, too many things that could go wrong, and I'm quite sure the knowledge you need expands almost daily.
Re: more info - Just a brief 1–3 paragraph professional bio and perhaps a link out to more info about how long you've been doing writing / editing, not necessarily a resume, but something like a LinkedIn perhaps. I don't have much opinion about personal anecdotes on a professional site that ties into your professional work; I keep it to a minimum myself, and it's not something I'd discount for a one-person company where their business and their self are somewhat intertwined, but I don't explicitly seek out personal info. I think being a teacher is potentially relevant to the business you're doing now and communicating feedback to your customers. My mom is a teacher as well and that was influential in the way I learn(ed) at a young age (Montessori method) and still today.

Re: experience and credentials - I feel like the best way to demonstrate it in writing is just to link to a variety of sample work before/after. If you want to build a base under that with past experiences, I think that can be helpful but as you've stated, it can be challenging to convey how seemingly unrelated experiences tie in to current work.
I'm confused...

What I don't understand is why every traffic light doesn't have cameras and some image recognition/machine learning (whether local or remote) to improve the timing - it would be such a cheap and easy fix compared to putting a sensor in each car.

> that they only achieve a factor of two improvement (in theory!) reads as a stunning failure of autonomous vehicle technology to pull their weight in this regard.

Sounds like a profoundly interesting result to me -- strong evidence that we'd need to look elsewhere to increase transit carrying capacity. Maybe AI cars can't reduce traffic that much afterall.
Here's the tl;dr for anyone else interested:

> It's remarkably simple. By boiling the rice in water mixed with coconut oil, you change the architecture of the rice, turning it into a "resistant starch," where two polysaccharides, amylose and amylopectin, connect to form indigestible bridges. Chilling the rice for 12 hours leads to further conversion of starches. The result is a food with far fewer calories.

How did your first batch turn out? I've heard the same about potatoes - they are a resistant starch and with each subsequent cooling off/re-heating cycle you increase the resistant starch levels.

The implication that white rice makes you fat, however, is ridiculous. Singling out one staple food (besides sugar) isn't helpful. Anything will make you fat in high enough qualities. Not a jab at you OP, but more our culture of maligning single food groups. (again, besides sugar :) )
What to say, other than "sensationalistic, clickbaity, clickfarmy medium.com crowd yada yada" the criticism of the idea is following - there are no such thing as a self driving car on sale, nor will be in coming years.

Car sales are down because of demand side issues, nothing else: the potential car buyer demographic of this generation is comparatively poorer, average second hand car lasts longer, public transport in Western countries is slowly getting better, road congestions are hitting developing countries where there were no such issues before. That's it.

Personally I do still believe privacy is very important. I often take up the devil's advocate position on Hacker News because there is a lot of groupthink on this site. The issues are rarely black and white, and almost never come down to "X is evil".

My advise is to stay aware of the issues, but don't get consumed by them. In almost all cases a site's privacy policy will tell you exactly what they collect, and you always maintain the power to block that at the browser level if you want to.

eg. I use an adblocker to remove social media widgets. I find them clutter and I don't care for the tracking. Otherwise though my settings are pretty light.

I hope you find your happy medium.
If you can keep your majority a secret, you can avoid the devaluing scenarios. The trick is to use the majority only when you need to, and to avoid detection.
I tend to talk to myself, especially if I am tired or feverish or grumpy. I think of recent stories in the news about someone dying because of a swatting call. You can now deploy a SWAT team with a single phone call and this is being abused by some people and innocent people are ending up dead.

With the internet, you run into situations where an old person with cognitive issues is spending money online in a problematic fashion and similar. For people who don't really understand how such systems work, the lack of friction between every random desire that passes through their head and the ability to make it happen actually causes problems.

So I read this story of frictionless everything and I wonder where it goes wrong. Actual reality for many modern systems is some form of crazy making frustration. You call and get an automated system and spend forever going through a menu, unable to get through to a live person or find the option you need.

The scenario posited that you casually state a two item food order and you have it 6 minutes later. Reality would probably include 10 minutes of aggravating back and forth while the room lists all options for beer brand, size of the beer, did you want condiments with that, etc.

You can argue they are just trying to give a nutshell version of the concept, but either it is inaccurate or there is a great deal of room for you to speak and something to promptly happen because of it and that something not being what you really had in mind. This can be as minor as getting a brand of beer you don't like, but it also has potential to result in much more serious problems.

The author did not include any provisos that, of course, the room knows which brand and size of beer you meant because it automatically logged you in through your Apple account and it has a list of default definitions for what exactly you mean when you say, for example, that you want a beer.

I can't believe my comment is being dismissed and downvoted. Yes, it is pedantic. But automated systems don't function if someone doesn't ask all these pedantic questions and find answers for properly handling real world scenarios.
Are you treating all blockchains as equal; there are different degrees of decentralization. You can have blockchains that are run by oligarchies of miners. Look no further than the mining pools behind Bitcoin.
Well.. though I'll admit to cycling aggressively, I don't think I've ever ignored a traffic light unless there was literally no traffic around (and even then only when I was in a hurry), and I don't think many cyclists I know do ignore traffic lights very often.

I definitely get not wanting to stop, and I'll try and optimize. For example in Amsterdam there's traffic lights with counters, and as a cyclist you can usually safely go when there's 5 seconds left, but I don't count that as ignoring the traffic light.

Cutting a red light into slow traffic would be very rude.. I don't think that happens a lot here.
>> it may yet turn out to be a viable way to store value

Really? I think is just kind of post-factum rationalization, something that helps Bitcoin fans deal with their trauma and disillusionment after Bitcoin has failed.
I am usually in favor of imports over writing my own code, but the honest answer depends on a number of other factors. I don't think there is a "best practice" in this area.

Does the imported function do exactly what you need? No not quite - maybe write your own.
Is it a complex function that will require a lot of testing? yes - an import is probably best.
Are you likely to use other parts of the imported library in the future? Yes, then import may be a better choice.
Will it look good on your CV? Lets face it everyone does it.
I don't know what you think about Bitcoin as a store of value, but if you want to liquidate quickly your "store of value", with bitcoin it can be impossible on the peak. It should have another use cases to be a store of value.
At one place i worked awe had a brand new state of the art supermini from PR!ME. Oneday we had a film crew turn up but they filmed our old PDP/1140 as it had lots of blinking LED's
This is only tangentially related (btw I agree with you, it's out of control) but I always think back to the novels _Daemon_ and _Freedom_ by Daniel Suarez when it comes to the future of decentralized autonomous technologies. If you haven't read them, they are a fast and enjoyable read imho.
Yeah, I find I tend to hit the keys much less hard
Given the massive value drop (>18% in the last month) and the crazy value growth (>1000% in the last year, figures according to https://www.finanzen.net/devisen/bitcoin-euro/chart), I'm not sure BTC is a viable way to store value... but one thing I'm certain is that BTC has lost its appeal as payment instrument due to ridiculous fees (20$ / tx, according to https://estimatefee.com/) and the waiting times.

The next 6-12 months imho will be decisive for BTC's future.

I did not know about places, but after reading about them [1], I can see that although they are implemented on top of OS threads, it is not a conventional threading model.

For instance there is an instance of the Racket VM per place and this makes them heavier than it would be in a standard system programming language language such as C, C++ or Rust.

I am not saying it is better or worse -- just different.

I recently reenabled swap on my Windows machine due to frequent OOM, even with 16GB of RAM while playing Overwatch and browsing on Firefox. It seems like both of these programs allocate vast swaths of memory but then do not actually use that memory very heavily. After I turned swap back on, I did not notice any degradation in performance but my system stability skyrocketed.

This is purely an advertisement promoting the sale of a new book, correct? It looks like an interesting and useful book written by someone well-known to HN readers, but it is just a web page announcing a book for sale. Serious question - Is this OK for story submissions now?

I nearly flagged it but I think I'll hold off and see if linking to ads is the new norm here, because I haven't noticed that before.

Edit: whoops, should have read this before posting "Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did." Apologies, I'll leave my original comment for the curious but won't ask this question again.

Dollar bills, of course, are protected from counterfeiting, in the same way that bitcoins are.
Xing is almost a scam, demanding asymmetrical methods for signing to a service (such as their paid membership) and canceling that service. For canceling, you need all kinds of manually sent, privacy endangering proofs of identity while subscribing is of course very straightforward.

Furthermore, they are very aggressive at sending any of these fees to collections if you dispute their shady tactics -- I personally know people who've been bitten by this.

It has left such a bad taste in my mouth that I always strongly suggest everyone to abandon them. What they do is technically legal, but definitely should not be. The company can't die soon enough.
I find it very frustrating to hand write yaml personally. Always get some indentation or substructure rule wrong. JSON isn't as human friendly to write, but it's easier to avoid mistakes with it.

Personally the ini format is probably the most ideal config format. Simple to write, 1 dimensional, has comments.
A sensor itself isn't expensive but moving, storing, and processing all of that data to ultimately take action is.

My thought as well. The linked piece refers to one person's prediction. That person also predicts that by 2022, EVs will be as cheap as $22k. Not sure what's going to happen to anyone who wants to buy a car for less than $22k. Perhaps he thinks that those people will all buy used cars?

I feel exactly the opposite.

It's critical that the real impact of death and destruction be effectively conveyed in the media. All too often it's trivialized, sugar-coated, or made to seem like a video game.

People need to realize how devastating such violence is, instead of viewing it as a game or a joke, if there is to be any hope of reducing its incidence.
Or you just don't rush and ensure your mitigation doesn't make things even worse
It's unclear how the problem would be different to the issue of cleaning any other shared space (hotel room, taxi, food court in a shopping mall, etc). Why couldn't you get cleaners (either people, or since we're discussing the future, possibly robots) to do it? It's not like these things would have to be containing a passenger 100% of the time -- get it cleaned in the downtime.
It appears a number of people use downvote to mean "I disagree". I suppose they think HN is Facebook.

Also of course some people use it correctly, which confounds the data.
Capitalism demands constant growth. His usage fits perfectly. Center-left means you are a capitalism supporter and makes no difference. Claiming the capitalist mode of production is "realism" is really you trying to say capitalism is natural.
> That's my whole point, it was legal before and they weren't "making money illegally" (as the parent claimed), hence my the need for new laws.

Yeah, once upon a time, murder was legal, and people weren't "murdering illegally", so why the need for a law against murder?

> It's not illegal in the US, from which they are operating. That's what matters.

Well, if you aren't interested in reality, why are we even discussing?

German law itself limits its geographic applicability, and therefore that limit can be changed just as any other rules in the law.
We worry about the big, less likely risks than the common, more likely. In a major UK city you might become a victim of a terrorist attack - limited in scope but played out far more in the media - vs getting hit as a pedestrian by a car or a car accident.

In the US, we've completely gone down the way of sucking on the fear teat vs the actual dangers in our reality (cars, guns, heart disease, etc) and pay a pretty penny for it, whether security theater at the airport or our current political environment.
