You can do like they do in psychology. Instead of asking how happy where you today ? You can ask, how productive where you today. Then you can test stuff like having everyone write unit tests etc, and repeat the assessment. You can also use variables to coordinate well with productivity, like how fun and satisfaction.
> In the original the characters are able to find some meaning in their lives

The sequel does the same at the end, isn't it? Father and daughter are reunited, and K finds meaning in the struggle.

> it doesn't have the film noir feel

That would have been gimmicky. It was innovative when the original was released but it's now been done to death.
And if they do require a verify, they should make it obvious that it was user initiated just then. Otherwise it could be the same scam: Eve creates an account. James gets the email. "Hmm that's funny. Okay I'll verify again".

Eh. Not much of a smoking gun. On balance, I'd say the owner of the car sinned more than the service people for illegally recording them when they had a reasonable expectation of privacy. It was unprofessional of them to take the car through a drive-thru, but other than that, I wouldn't characterize the road test as a "joy ride." Ditto with "blasting" the music. They turned the music on. The editorializing here is a little over the top. And my understanding (I could be wrong) of auto service is that they charge standard amounts for known service, regardless of how long it takes. If, for instance, the job is to replace a particular hose or gasket, they look that up in a book which says bill this much for this job and that's what they bill.

I think this might be, because the definition seems to stem from mathematical notion of logic. And logicians usually want to have their logics sound, because if you can prove false statements, what is the point of your logic, right?

So to distinguish between sound/unsound typesystem, I would look at it as if it were logic, where types are my theorems, and typechecking is attempt to find a proof.

Of course, type-system for a language has to have some compromises, Java explicitly tells you, that even typechcecked program still will have runtime exceptions (like ClassCastException). In haskell you can still fall into an infinite loop, even though all the types flow through the system as expected :-)

This is so true about Kubrick as a photographer. He’s able to create these big immersive worlds where the pallet of emotions I experience as a viewer is just so... wide.

I’ve probably failed to explain that very well so here’s a well known example.

The story about the shooting of Barry Lyndon has been covered on HN before. In short Kubric got the fastest lenses he could and had old camera specially adapted so that he could film by candle light. Of course he also knew that such a wide aperture would give him a tiny depth of field, conveniently rendering the scene like a flat period painting come to life.

I suspect he may have worked backwards from that simple idea to the rest of the film but that just speculation on my part.

His use of newly invented steadycam in the Shinning for dream like scenes with the kids is another example.

Watching his films seems to be about more than just the plot and the story. I lack the vocabulary to adiquately explain myself, I’m just a fan, but it’s kind of like watching an art installation that happens to be a block buster film.

Huh. I had no idea the problem was this widespread. For the record, I've never had a problem on any iOS device or Kindle e-reader (iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone X, iPad, iPad 2, iPad mini, iPad Air, iPad Pro, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Voyage). I am stunned that it happens on the Oasis.

The fact that your kid is addicted to Angry Bird or spends too much time on Snapchat if there's no restrictions in place, it's just a deeper problem of how you've gone about educating your child. Restricting its use to those applications wont change anything. It's like using duct tape to fix a broken tire, only worse, because at the same time you're also destroying your relationship in ways you can't realize (by taking away his freedom and privacy).

Yeah, he/she must be able to not lose time on its own. Some actionable advice to start with: if you or your wife are using TV/Social Media - AT ALL - you can begin there (by giving the example).
I get where this is coming from - but to be honest the main thing I want to lock down on my ipad is just not let them fire up youtube. You can't restrict certain apps from being opened.

Restricted mode works mostly how I want. I have a bunch of suitable games I'm happy for the kids to play with without me hovering around. But every time I let them use an ipad I have to remove youtube if it's on there, as they are only allowed to use that when I'm watching with them.

Did this occur in 2015 but is just published in 2018? Why did the recorder of this video sit on it for so long?
EmIl address is an identity. The core philosophical issue here is that an identity provider assigns you bucket of identities without your knowledge. Now others who do have knowledge of your assigned identities can take advantage to impersonate you. The idea that it can be resolved by email verification does not hold well because in several circumstances it might not be possible (for example, you need to create your account at the PoS). It’s a bug indeed if you think of email address as identity. It’s unrealistic expectation that all non-technical users should be aware about this feature as well as that all login system must use email verification.

The solution is simple: email provider should let user create additional identities with their knowledge. That is by default dot feature is not enabled but user should be able to go in and create alternative identities that they want explicitly.

It sounds odd but Kubrick wasn’t afraid to bore his audience if he wanted to. It’s like dead air in a radio show most broadcasters would be scared to include that.

And conversion drops right away.
On every of my projects as soon as "auto sign in" was dropped -- conversion dropped as well.
(assuming that the "conversion" is to make a user to register and do something afterwards)

I know that there should be some kind of compromise since any security measure added to secure accounts will lead to some inconvenience for users.

If your goal to make sign in process as smooth for users as possible you may want introduce as little steps as possible between their landing on a page and "purchase".

But verification of email address should be kind of mandatory and happen before something important will be sent to this email.

In Win2000 you could read from and write to memory of any app [1]. Which we did for minesweeper. By setting proper values and forcing the window to repaint we implemented a simple snake game. The body of the snake consisted of bombs and "fruit" you had to eat were flags. I don't remember how we captured keyboard input though.

I have the same issue, but Uber has 2FA on the account through SMS. This way I can't login to cancel the account, and there is no 'unsubscribe here' link in the emails.

Also had someone use my email to sign up to an airline. After messing with the seat assignment and meal selection a few times it became old and customer service didnt know what to do, so I changed the associated email to 'helpdesk@airline.com'

Even funnier was how a gameshop website that I did have an account with actually changed my password and account details to be assigned to someone in another country. No notifications etc... So now there are a bunch of trade-in credits on my account, after changing it back to my own details.
> Registration should send a "looks like you already have an account" email to the recipient with "maybe this wasn't you" warning, and the web form shouldn't indicate anything out of the ordinary.

Well that wont work. If you can't register with an email it's obviously because an account has already taken it.
Wizard is an awesome tool for initial investigation and initial slicing and dicing of incoming data. For trying out ideas and seeing if what you're "seeing" in the data might be worthy of further investigation and hypothesis testing.

It isn't R, SPSS or Minitab. It's brilliant at what it does and I love it. I've been using it for 3 / 4 years and wouldn't swap it for any other tool.
https://www.inwx.com. I am using them for about 5-10 years now (had ~30 different domains over time) and I was never disappointed.

- Pricing is fair and uncomplicated. https://www.inwx.com/en/domain/pricelist

- Lots of extra features, e.g. whois privacy, glue records.

- DNS hosting (in case you need it) is included, DNS servers are located in 5 different datacenters. (Although I prefer Cloudflare because they are the fastest according to https://www.dnsperf.com .)

- You have full control over your domain. It's even possible to update tech-c and zone-c (many domain providers do not allow this).

- You can manage everything through their web interface and an API. (Many domain providers I've had to use require you to contact support for things like custom name servers, domain transfer, change of domain contacts, and so on, which is completely insane.)

The only exception I've found is DNSSEC, if you want to use it you need to contact support and send them your values.

original article is in German: https://www.golem.de/news/t-mobile-oesterreich-klartextpassw...

The original thread has interesting lessons in how not to engage with angry customers on social media.
I've seen such attitude more often in Austrian/German companies since if you do this in the US it often costs you the job. In Germany they often joke about "Servicewüste Deutschland" which translates to service-desert Germany (e.g. German-speaking countries consumers know their service is usually terrible compared to other places).

The statement from Käthe is even more surreal considering the latest news linked above.

Funny that if you're at the heart of a security PR disaster you almost certainly find yourself at the receiving end of a free penetration test conducted by the public. (... so maybe it was all planned and they just didn't want to spend any money on security, LOL.)

T-mobile is not an isolated cases in the mobile operator space! Sadly customers don't know until it accidentally ends up being in the news ... What makes it especially outrageous (e.g. that mobile operators neglecting security is a bigger deal than e.g. Aldi website), because the operator who provides the "the last mile" to the consumer for going online. So they enjoy more trust than other sites.

elecom operators have in general by far worse security (and engineering) knowhow than xyz random website. Hell, most crappy wordpress blogs have better security than what VF/T-Mobile & Co serves their customers (and being better is not even hard). Consumers think the Telecom operatos have very good knowledge/experience to secure customer data. But they don't. They are just integrating 3rd party products and so assume they don't need much specialist know-how. Looks like they're only just waking up to reality.

The case w/ @TMobile shows nicely how firms often think they're "the best" - which is very easy when one doesn't have the ability to judge their own competence/weakness. Classic #ImposterSyndrome.

I don't think blame should go to the social media team (although they are in need of urgent training) but blame should go to the company's mismanagement of their technology and fraudulent claims they make to their customers. Heads should roll IMHO, but certainly not in the lower ranks.
Spamming is illegal already. The people and organisations doing this don't care about the law.

So, no additional EU regulation will achieve anything in terms of email spam.

Due to inherent limitations of the protocols used for email it's also hard to identify and track down spammers, which is why authorities couldn't do a lot about it even if they wanted to (and most spammers weren't outside their jurisdiction anyway).

I think save for new email protocols that verify the identity of the sender unfortunately, spam is just a fact of modern life. Modern spam filters adequately deal with this problem.

Speaking of identity, there's another more eminent spam problem authorities actually could do something about but for one reason or another are oblivious to: Phone spam. Those automated or auto-dialed calls are really annoying (and harmful to those gullible enough to fall for whatever scheme is sold during the call) and there's not much you can do against them with reasonable effort yourself.

Authorities on the other hand could because in contrast to email addresses phone numbers are heavily regulated and the identity of the caller is usually known.

This is part of the reason I got my son an entry level windows tablet instead of an ipad. You have excellent control over what they can access, when and how long, and weekly summary reports on how they spent their time across apps.

The trouble turns out to be that it is windows with all of the problems of windows. Unlike iOS updates regularly break things or hang for obscure reasons. The creator’s update even discarded the entire start screen layout. Partly the update problems are caused by the 32 gb storage constraint, but I don’t see why the windows folder needs to take up 16 GB and then complain it needs another 8. Also, because backgrounded apps don’t get tombstoned the machine runs out of ram and starts swapping / freezing (emmc is even slower than spinning rust), unless my son is careful about closing every game when he’s done with it.

All of which is a long winded way of saying that iOS is not that bad for a kid’s device. It gets the basics right: don’t break unexpectedly for technical reasons.

What is paradoxical in this?
These “I wish my technology would let me avoid having to discipline my child” articles always bother me. Son sneaking into your room to grab iPad without permission? Easy solution to that. No iPad for a week. He will learn eventually not to do it. No settings needed.

The thing is, you don’t want an environment where a child cannot make a mistake. Sometimes you want to let mistakes be made and use those moments to teach your child what behavior is correct. Many of the restrictions requested in this article are in that vein. Although some, like age level restrictions, make more sense, since it is quite difficult for a child to ascertain whether a video will be appropriate for them without viewing it.

>Are other medications anywhere near as ineffective?

Yes. Reviews suggest that statins have an NNT of between 50 and 200 depending on the patient's underlying risk for cardiovascular disease. Coronary stents are probably useless. Reviews of antibiotics, antivirals and corticosteroids show a wide range of NNTs and often show no positive effect.

The drug approval system has a relatively high bar for safety, but a relatively low bar for efficacy. A drug manufacturer only has to prove that their drug is effective for one particular cohort of patients with a particular disease, but doctors are then free to prescribe the drug to any patient with any disease. Many surgical interventions are never subject to a randomised controlled trial.

State-Owned Digital Coins No Match for Private
You can get a flavour for it in 2010, which had several production advantages and generally better acting from better-known actors. Roy Scheider as Heywood Floyd (compare him to William Sylvester's Heywood Floyd in 2001) does several voice-overs and there is a lot of unrealistic dialogue for expository purposes. There was plenty of discussion about what went wrong with HAL 9000 and whether HAL 9000 was fixable, although some of the details of the experiments with the SAL computer were cut short. David Shire did the music.

Peter Hyams essentially made 2010 much more along the "Clarkeian" lines suggested by Moorcock in the article, but even still some of the talky bits around Bowman's various appearances did not make it into the final cut.

It's a good enough film, but you would be hard pressed to find anyone who honestly prefers it to 2001, or who thinks adding in more talky bits would have helped. Indeed, compare the Soviet vs American "stand-offs" in the hotel lobby and in orbit around Jupiter respectively, and you can see Kubrick's subtle treatment of the cold war as a much more savage commentary on geopolitics than the overt on-the-verge-of-hot-war geopolitics in 2010. The climax of 2001 was the result of the cold war paranoia, whereas the climax of 2010 were events that overturn the less-cold war paranoia of the sequel.

2001's Kubrick-ness is reflected in that sort of subtle political satire that was one of the recurring themes in his films; Clarke by contrast favours an optimism based in technological leaps, which we see in full in 2010, but also in the novelization's elucidation of the film's ending.

Maybe the most famous transition in film history -- the bone thrown into the air -- exemplifies the difference: Kubrick takes a "you can take a violent ape out of the savannah and dress it up in business clothes, uniforms and space suits, but..." view while Clarke thinks the new environment transforms humans for the better.

As you say, it would be fascinating to have fuller documentation of the film-making processes for 2001, to at least the level of detail that we get for major films made in this millennium so far. However, as with 2001 itself, we have a large vacuum to speculate about.
