I agree, I initially got hooked because my dad told me "don't use the computer without my supervision and especially not Norton Commander, since a wrong keypress can remove important directories". So what do I do the next day when he was at work?

But during our youth (especially if you are > 30) there were also fewer distractions. No addictive social network sites. And a lot of games were designed to be fun to play, rather than to be addictive so that people buy more in-app purchases.

IMO an iPad is a bad device to stimulate a hacker mindset, period (with or without parental controls).

For homework (except perhaps writing essays), pen and paper is still pretty hard to beat. As a work 'canvas' paper is far more natural and you have to do the thinking.
That's correct - kids are more and more shielded from the underlying technology. On the other hand, in some countries they are also given an opportunity to program microcontrollers directly (BBC micro:bit), something many of us could only dream of.
Nit: awk is a POSIX tool, and has multiple implementations that you've probably used (Debian/Ubuntu comes with mawk, and Mac OS with nawk).

The film, especially the original theatrical release that has the voiceover, echoes Film Noir and 1940s cop movies that you may not have seen, but many people in the 1980s would have had in memory.

The sequel follows the visual style of the original, but it doesn't have the film noir feel. It's tone is much harsher. In the original the characters are able to find some meaning in their lives, and even find love or redemption, but the sequel shows the future as much less forgiving.
This web page is called "Hacker News". I became a hacker because when I was a kid my parents refused to provide me with a computer. So I did all those things I was not meant to do. I collected sand and used a furnace to turn it into silicon wafers. I smelted my own wires and circuits.

If you want no more hackers in 20 years, you should give your kids devices that are already built so they don't have to learn the fundamentals and do it themselves.

(hint: the above is satire, but is as logically valid as what you posted)
I for one, am thoroughly tired and fed up with being expected to think of another human being from two hours flight away as some kind of alien.

It's absurd when I can have face-to-face conversations with people on the other side of the world using the device in my pocket. We are already in the midst of a functionally global civilisation only no one believes in it.

Here I am having effortless conversations with other humans from all over the world, yet somehow these same people are arbitrarily, absolute "others" who I might one day be expected to kill on the drum-beat and flag-wave of some demagogue who has managed to whip up the masses.

The biggest disappointment of the past few years is that no one has outmanoeuvred such a played-out ethos as nationalism and the ethnic chauvinism that frequently accompanies it. The biggest surprise is that so many technologists have apparently supported it.
Definitely cool service - do these numbers support MMS?
I started off sympathetic, but as I got down to the end of the article I found myself horrified. It's a recipe for indulging the worst tendencies towards helicopter parenting. Is detailed invasive intrusion and surveillance into the personal lives of our children really what we want? Do children really deserve no privacy at all?

How about bringing up children to have a responsible attitude and building trust? I have exactly the same concerns the author has. I have two children ages 13 and 14, and they have each had an iPad since they were 6 and 7 thanks to the generosity of my brother. Our youngest in particular spends more time on youtube and chat apps than we would like, but I can easily imagine the damage I would do to our relationship by constantly spying on every single thing she does on it. Especially as she grows into her teenage years. It strikes me as lazy and avoiding building trust and responsible attitudes, the actual things parents should be doing to address such issues.

This has nothing to do with security through obscurity, it has to do with rights of human beings. Anyway Google doesn't either, hence the article.

Unlike the other posters, I'm not going to pretend I don't know what you're talking about. That being said, what's the point of those "MKUltra patterns"? Are they supposed to trigger some special reaction on children?
So easy for anyone that has suffered throught Android development.

Starting with Eclipse, then rebooting the whole development environment just because some management guys happened to be InteliJ users.

Several years later there are still Eclipse based tools, like the graphical manifest editor, that haven't been replicated in Studio.

NDK is treated as a 20% project, done by an handfull of engineers.

Devs were left in the cold when the migration away from Eclipse was decided. It was only due to the coincidence of Clion being developed, that Studio eventually got C++ support.

The amount of cruft on NDK build tools is a joke, already with 4 official variations.

The decision to use Gradle has made "how to optimize builds" a recorrent topic in any major Android conference.

Google teams like Android development build tools so much that they rather use blaze, throwing yet another build tool into the mix.

There isn't a single release of Android Studio or the Support Library, that isn't followed by bug related complaints on online forums, despite being several weeks, months, in testing phase.

Their initial emulator implementations was so lousy, that it required the public shame of Genymotion and Microsoft doing a better job for Google actually improving theirs.

There was so much more to rant about, but this is already quite long.
> RTBF is Europe-wide

Nope it's not, it's an EU law and EU !== Europe. Europe has 51 countries while the EU only has 28. Just like Mexico is not in the US, a ton of European countries are not in the EU.
I don't expect to monitor my children's iPad usage at all, other than literally seeing what they do from time to time and talking to them about it. I have no time at all for this sort of intrusive monitoring of everything children do every second. I think it's deeply unhealthy and pushes parent child relationships into confrontational situations, where what we really need to be doing is building up trust and responsible attitudes. If a parent can't do that, then no amount of surveillance and intrusion is going to fix the problem.
Still way less how Google handles Android development, where recommended API in version X, turns out legacy in version X+1, replaced in X+2, but all need to be supported thanks to lack of updates.

Is Causal Path Entropy an E=mc^2 for Intelligence?
But good parenting is all about setting limits and never actually being there or allowing kids to exercise self control. What if they find out that Nick Berg was a fearless reporter who was beheaded and manage to form opinions about the world without traveling? What if they watch pornography? I am afraid my kids might actually have to learn about the good AND the bad. Good parents tell their kids that bad stuff is bad...they don't actually let them find out for themselves... I am the son of a robot and I turned out just fine. Bleep bop booop beep. I am limited to sarcastic comments because my dad programmed me to be an asshole. Sorry.

Speaking specifically about Face ID, Apples marketing has suggested that changes over time would influence the model but I do not believe it is there yet—-I have seen enough issues in my own usage and the only meaningful difference there is my glasses.

Thank you.. I use this feature in exactly the same way. As I read,I was sitting there thinking "I can't possibly be the only one who knows about,uses,and likes this feature". Disabling it at this point would seriously screw up my life. It also prevents people from registering all of those close variations of my gmail address, which I also like.

> I've never met anyone who didn't like 2001

In some circles, admitting that you find anything by Kubrick "boring" is considered uncool, so nobody will admit to it. It's like Blade Runner (also mentioned in Moorcock's essay, not coincidentally): their cultural and historical significance for genre development means that cinematographical critique will always be forced to take a back seat.

Personally, I'm a child of the late '70s and I just cannot watch 2001 without falling asleep. Sure, I admire the photography and the realism; the second half of the movie is occasionally exciting; but among Kubrick's work, it's definitely not one I'd rewatch. Part of the reason is even willfully acknowledged: Kubrick actually meant to show how space-travel was very boring, Moorcock mentions it. So there is no shame in admitting that the message was efficiently driven home.
Are we reading the same article?

The author is writing about getting a Netflix account funded by causing Netflix to send an email to a Gmail account holder. For all intents and purposes this is a legitimate email originating from Netflix. It is not about someone surreptitiously transferring control of another person's Netflix account to himself.

As much as I don't like wikipedia, I give them props for not falling into the trap of using the "nationalistic" term there. It's ill defined, and not suited to gathering data since different people have different opinions on what it means.

I said "I like Gen Z", and then I said basically "there is nothing wrong in general with liking your country (aka being nationalistic)". I do in fact like them because they are (in my opinion) more pro-US than the previous generation. If you need a wiki to believe me about why I think that, then maybe the second and third sentences in the "Political views" helps. Maybe not. Maybe liking the president means the opposite to you. But wikipedia is junk, and I was stating my opinion so it's kinda moot.

I cant glean what you think I haven't responded to. Your orig comment that I replied to was a single word, I offered what I thought about the quote. Specifically, I saw it as dig on the latest trend toward nationalism, and I think that's a good thing. Maybe say more that just "What" if you are asking for something more specific.
Most of the US political class seems to.

That's why we're having the whole Trump/Russia investigation after all.
Many here don't see a window of attack, the reasoning being that if the (presumably) malicious user gives the wrong email address they lose access to the account. Same outcome if the password gets changed by the recipient of the message. I'd like to offer a glimpse as to a potentially alternate outlook. Maybe it doesn't even apply to this specific situation, it nonethelss has a general relevancy to this conversation.

As an alternative (and sometime supplement) to the regular email/password sign-in, social sign-in is increasingly popular (mainly with OpenID Connect aka Authentication with OAuth2.0). A clear realization by many that have implemented social sign-in has been the separation of concerns between "account management" and "authentication management", which has the natural and arguably convenient side-effect of connecting multiple identifiers to the same account. The way it's done is that registered users are offered the possibility to add alternate sign-in methods to their existing account (e.g. you registered with Google, now you can add Facebook, or email/password).

The multiple login channels feature when correctly implemented with only OpenID Connect is safe since the identifier verification step is always part of the flow. Chances that the owner of the account unwillingly adds a sign-in channel not under their control is slim.

Consider on the other hand a situation where an organization would attempt to offer the same feature with OpenID Connect and their own email/password flow. If they do the latter à la Netflix, that is without confirming that the user owns the claimed email, there's your exploit window.

Malicious user John registers the account using social login (lets say Facebook). He later adds email/password as a login method along with an invalid credit card, but he uses unsuspecting user Jane's email, much like it was done in the Netflix case. Jane receives a message and thinking that it's her account that needs updating she first changes her password as a precaution, before "correcting" her credit card info. All throughout never realizing that an additional social sign-in option is enabled (Facebook).

As previously said here by many, always validate that the user owns the address you're communicating or authenticating with.

Right, 20th century China is the example of government limiting reproduction which springs to mind.

What I had in mind was people limiting their own. In the west the main mechanism was delayed marriage (i.e. saving up a socially approved amount of money first) which kept us well away from starvation 500 years ago. In china/japan I believe the pattern was more infanticide (in the same period) but know less about this.
Apocalypse Now does not require any additional reading, it's a perfectly self-contained masterpiece.

What's science now was called philosophy earlier. Until you learn a bit of history, you can't appreciate how the human culture is changing over time (with its categorizations):

The English word scientist is relatively recent—first coined by William Whewell in the 19th century.[1] Previously, investigators of nature called themselves "natural philosophers".

People having self-determinism is the most important feature of having sovereign countries. It's a market of competing ideas. The internet makes it possible for someone in (insert country with less freedom of expression) to see what someone in (insert country with more) has. Making it out as a "some kind of alien" us vs them thing misses the point. People immigrate, and many countries (including my country) let that happen, and they get the benefits of that. It's pretty rare to even hear about the countries that don't allow others to become citizens, although they are pretty major players.

The parent comment means the scammer case who can set the password back because they are still logged in. Which might be feasible.

But I don't think a scam that relies on you resetting the password and not becoming suspicious is a bit of a stretch.
> the issue which is about people giving out your address instead of their own when creating an account, which is the actual issue here.

If the other person had tried to use the author's email address written exactly the same as his existing Netflix account, Netflix wouldn't have let the other person create a new account, but would instead have made them log into the existing account. The fact that Netflix and Gmail don't have the same notion of "existing account" IS the key issue here.

> the proposed scam, if it works, only works because (allegedly) Netflix lets you change an account email without verifying that you know the current password

Well, Eve knows the account's password at the time she changes the account email, the article explicitly mentions this: "Eve has access to account N2 because she set its password when signing up".

But this does touch on an interesting point. If Netflix required him to enter his password before he could update the credit card from Eve's to his own, then to go through with it he'd have to reset the password, so even if he went through with it and double-paid at least Eve wouldn't be able to reap the benefit of a free Netflix account, which is at least a less severe security issue than the current situation.

In terms of recreational nicotine, Swedish snus has the most established, long term evidence base for very significantly reduced risks.

It's reasonable to expect that a product like Zyn would fare even better than Swedish snus in long term studies because of the lack of tobacco specific nitrosamines. Although Zyn doesn't have a long term, formulation specific evidence base like Swedish snus, there is good evidence for its components.

Pharmaceutical nicotine replacement therapy products like nicotine gum could be options too. Guessing you've already tried that though... but even the FDA now says NRT can be used indefinitely.
Google to hold groundbreaking for long-awaited north Alabama data center
One of my emails is a "one name" gmail address so I get a few of these fairly often. I've tried doing the good thing where possible and trying to get it changed by contacting the provider but I just gave up. If I get more than a couple of emails from any account, I just hijack it permanently; I've found that deleting the account will only lead to the offender recreating it.
