I think it's a less bad alternative for people using the same password on everything. As many comments here already pointed out, it's not perfect. I don't feel like I know enough about it to know just how good it will be for the average person.

yes. this spec (u2f) makes the hardware part more feasible to implement without needing to enter an OTP. thus enabling 2fa very widely.
Ok I shouldn't use the word nobody, I admonished someone for using that word a few days ago, but it's very rare, especially outside high end production houses.

Even 12G sdi is compressed - we consider 4:2:2 and 10bit uncompressed, but 4:4:4 is less compressed than 4:2:2. Once you go into interlace or stupid things like 24p you're throwing away tons of data.

2022-6 seems to be the transmission method of choice so far, 2110 may well take over, but there are significant compatibility issues.

Personally I'd prefer everything originated as 4:4:4 10 bit 150fps (no drop frames), resolution I'm less concerned with.

I work in news though, broadcast quality is what we broadcast. 5mbit h264 PPP with a vbv of 200k is fine for a talking head internationally. 5 times that is plenty for an actual broadcast program with astons and stuff.
DimensionalMechanics launches AI programming language
Try exercising to the point of exhaustion and see how it affects your sleep.
I do think it's technically superior when used right. Namely, application whitelisting is technically superior. Most employees only have a small number of applications they need to run, and making sure everything else fails to start is the right choice.

Obviously it's not perfect for everyone and technical staff will often need to run esoteric and constantly-changing applications, so whitelisting isn't always possible. In that case, using a checksum and having the central server is a better way of handling it. Better yet is something like FireEye which can intercept your file downloads and scan them before it hits your machine. I can't speak for which next-gen endpoint solution works best since that's not my area of expertise, but I can say it's better than traditional AV (which is basically useless). In that case, blacklisting is the better choice, for software no one should have installed.

"Spying on employees" is an interesting take on what I consider to be basic security. I'm heavily involved in technology that, if the end user saw what we could see, they'd be horrified. Basically, if you're in the US and using your employer's laptop on your employer's network, you have zero privacy and everything you do and every site you visit is being logged into a central log repository and can be made available to the security and audit teams at a moment's notice. Most of the time no one is watching it, no one except an AI looking for anomalies and reporting on outliers, but it's possible. If you're doing DNS lookups to your company's DNS server, they know every site you've visited. If you're using telnet or ftp or POP3, they know your passwords too, because they're likely sniffing internal network traffic as well and storing packet captures. And they may even be breaking SSL at the proxy or gateway level, so that doesn't help you.

Basically, if you're worried that Carbon Black sending a list of your installed applications is your employer "spying" on you, they're already collecting far more data than you think. Installed applications is the least of your concern. But again... that's not your laptop and it's not your network. It's all owned by your company, and governed by their acceptable use policy in the employee handbook.
Bitcoin would be a calamity, not an economy
Agreed. There is no reason why the fluorescence isn't a harmless and coincidental byproduct of growing a beak in this animal.
I also think Riven killed adventure games for a bit - regardless of what you think of it from a gameplay perspective, it's really pretty graphically, and the slideshow-style presentation honestly doesn't hamper what you can allow the player to do if you aren't twitch-reacting to enemies that the computer is throwing at you.

It's been much more recently that the same sense of artistry could be added to realtime games, at least IMHO. Even Myst 5 - ok, yes, done by Cyan when they were a shell of their Riven selves - just feels different due to the compromises made to make it realtime.
I think it's mainly fish and other sea creatures.
Fuze programmable payment card is open to data theft over Bluetooth
You're right, my bad. But I still do wish phones even supported emulating the existing FIDO U2F standard.
Bitcoin and bit torrent suffer from the same decentralization problem. Centralization will always be cheaper or the system will fail to sustain itself. Either these systems are not profitable to participate in and no one bothers, or it is profitable at which point it will be dominated by key players that either participate in the network or simply launch a centralized competitor. Specialization leads to cost cuttings and the large actors increase their quality, margins and market share squeezing out the decentralized players.

The one caveat to this is that torrents are cool because its a system that can arguably edge cache better than CDN locations but with today's low upload speeds and pings for consumer connections it seems the CDNs do win.

I would also add security as one benefit. Not sure how others feel, but I think Gmail is one of the most secure ways for me to handle my email (US government agencies are not on my threat list).

I think Google takes security very seriously and their scale allows them to do and know things smaller vendors would not know.

While rolling your own email server is fairly easy thing to do, you can easily open attack vectors you don't think about. Like social engineering attacks against your hosting or DNS provider which would allow attacker to get control of your server or traffic. These kind of tricks can be pulled of by people who just get annoyed on you on Internet or who want to take your nice Twitter handle.
Ask HN: How can a self taught programmer get a SWE job in the bay area?
Hi guys,

I took some online courses in python/Javascript/ and Databases, build some projects, but am totally clueless as to how I can compete with kids that graduated with a CS degree in the bay area. I was wondering if you could advise on what to focus on when applying for an entry level role in SWE. Thanks!

What does "zone districts" mean?
Landlords do not build they own. Contractors and developers build. If you could own one building and charge $2500 or own 5 building and charge $600 each, what would you choose? You would make $500 more owning more buildings, but you would also have more overhead and work managing them all.
Conceptually similar is a not theft. It's a significant improvement on a very simple game.

It's like comparing Chess and Checkers. Similar sure 8x8, move one piece at a time, promote on other side of board etc, but they play as very different games.
Brilliant recommendations. I would like to add learning redux as soon as possible is a good thing.
Yes, I got that. Tesla already sells a top model to drag racing enthusiasts who want more drag racing oompf. The point I was attempting to make was about the meaning of "racing". I see that I didn't get my point across.

Because of the way HIPB works the salt would need to be both constant and known by the client which makes it rather useless as a salt. It only would stop rainbow tables, but that's not the issue here.

I'm certain they don't mean BCE here. That kind of bad editing makes me doubt every fact in the piece. Not that they aren't necessarily true, but it makes me suspect the whole endeavor.

Edit: They've fixed that, so my complaint no longer stands.
Are you sure? I always thought that the peers have to be seeded by the trackers.

Neither US citizenship nor residency are requirements for forming a Delaware LLC or Delaware corporation. You can start a business in Delaware from anywhere in the world.

Agree with all of the above. ES6 is great, as is (imho) using Javascript in a functional-programming style.

And, 100% avoid the "class" keyword.

When I was learning node.js I used "learnyounode", a terminal-based game/learning program. It was great. It had lessons which appropriately increased in difficulty, code examples, and guidance on which documentation to peruse in order to complete the coding assignments (each of which was a tiny application). There's one for Javascript too. They are both here:

https://github.com/workshopper

Learning to understand closures and the "this" context (including prototypical inheritance) can take a bit, but is extremely useful and important.

Related to the above, learn the Javascript "module pattern" design pattern.

When you get to the appropriate point, the source code of Redux is fairly simple and clearly written: https://github.com/reactjs/redux/tree/master/src

"Secrets of the Javascript Ninja" is an older book but a good one. So is "Javascript: The Good Parts."
For all the in-depth analysis of MDPs, a very good heuristic for playing 2048 is to just alternate swipes toward a corner (e.g. down and to the right), with an occasional movement in the other direction if it's stuck. How close does this get to the optimal policy?

If you live on the Burke Gilman trail, biking in Seattle can be pretty good. And they even have a bike lane over 520 now for those hardcore Microsoft bike commuters.
I did too, but I tried to take the most charitable interpretation. I've had enough conversations with dang about engaging with political trolls recently so I'm trying this new thing where I'm being nice to people. It's harder than you might think.

I don't know if HN has taken any steps to combat the right-wing/Russian propaganda campaign that's impacting most US social websites, but it'd be naive to think the site hasn't been targeted.
IF there is a war between ISPs and social networks maybe we get some benefits like the practices of ISPs and social networks getting more public for the regular person.
> A fingerprint is something you cannot change

Many builders/carpenters/etc will tell you this is not true. People who work in abrasive environments sometimes without proper protection often temporarily have no fingerprints as they are "warn off".

Many injuries can effectively modify or remove the too, at least temporarily.

This makes them bad usernames as well as bad passwords.

Somewhat sad that MO media didn't pick up any steam though, as i kinda miss the day when i could do random RWs on a completely passive media (meaning all the logic lived in a fully replaceable drive).

optical discs don't really do RW in the same way as a floppy, HDD or flash chips, but the latter two have a whole lot of embedded logic stuff that can go sour even if the actual storage media is just fine.

I would say yes and no. Closures, prototypical inheritance, etc, i.e. the language basics are all are really helpful to understand and be comfortable before using redux. Also, if the OP isn't using React.js then Redux may not be appropriate.

That said, yeah, if you are using React.js you should definitely learn and use redux.
GOG has been selling current games in addition to the "good old games" for a long time now
I see. I'm just not sure they have so much of a dog in the Prop 13 fight per se. Land values there haven't risen to nearly the levels as in coastal communities. And there are all sorts of special rules for ag taxes that I'm not really familiar with. The Central Valley farming community definitely leans very rightward and sees themselves as a somewhat aggrieved minority in California.
Why not both? This is classic Supply and Demand curves.
oops that was the 2015 version. the official standard is the same and just adds a “userHandle”. IOW this is not news.

Blockchain implementations in centralized black boxes are more likely than not the future of blockchain. As soon as regulation gets rolled out usable blockchains will be controlled by governments and/or private companies that comply with the rules. Not that I'm not in favor of a truely decentralized solution but I doubt "they" will allow this to happen.

I don't think Thompson and Ed Abbey ever met, but they'd have hit it off quite well. (Or killed each other, I suppose.)

Points 1, 2, and 4 remind me of nothing so much as Abbey's stance on protecting the national parks: avoiding regulation via personal responsibility and barriers on idle, disinteresting consumption.

As I remember, his plan for the Grand Canyon was to put the last parking lot 5+ miles from the Canyon, with a bus line and a fleet of bicycles. You bike in (or take the bus, iff you've got a health reason not to bike), see the Canyon, then take a bus back out. No Canyon-side parking, less litter, no tourists seeking 5 minutes of photos, and no hucksters selling tickets for glass bridges or anything else. And yes, I seem to remember he wanted to keep names like "Hell's Half Mile" on everything possible, the better to limit demand.

A bit exclusionary, maybe, but sort of a nice vision given what we've got instead. (As far as I know, the park that came closest is Zion, and it's definitely better for having done so.)
>You could upload one yourself and you would get a notice if it gets monetized by the creator

It may or it may not; I fail to see how that test would lead you to a conclusion here. You're making an assertion and really you have no idea.
I really miss these days. Sure the internet speeds were painfully slow, but I knew my ISP. I could go have lunch with them. I could borrow compute resources during slow times.

I think when the cable companies started monopolizing the internet and the web because commercialized, that's when we lost a lot of computing's early "innocence".

I'm sure someone will say I'm romanticizing that period, but darnit, just let me.
ISPs are going to have a hard time competing with the data gathered by Google Analytics and similar services given the accelerating push towards most sites being encrypted. If DNS encryption becomes more prevalent (edit: and users start taking advantage of privacy-conscious DNS providers outside of the control of their ISPs), they'll have an even harder time still.

<User> connected to <IP> and transferred <this much data> at <date/time> just isn't that valuable compared to the highly detailed usage and interaction data gathered by GA and similar services. Even if you ignore the DNS point and add "<User> looked up <hostname>" to the above, it still doesn't come close to what GA/etc are able to collect.

Edit: Why the downvotes? Isn't this supposed to be a site full of technically skilled people (many of whom work in "ad tech") who should know that what I said is accurate? Would any of the downvoters care to explain themselves instead of using downvotes as an "I don't like this post" button? This site is starting to feel more and more like Reddit.

No there would be job training, substance abuse rehab, and mental health programs. Its just getting homeless off the streets nationally and getting them to one central place where all efforts can be combined. Regional approaches don't work. We have to tackle it in one place nationally. We cannot have people living on the streets who don't get help all in one place. Now people are going town to town aimlessly and without direction.

Fucking hell. Unfair? It's unfair for YouTube to restore damage done to stolen and defaced accounts? Yeah, ok.

Anyway, you're assuming that YouTube went rouge restored the videos completely without input of the original uploader instead of the rightful account holder taking back control over the account? Why jump to that conclusion?

If your issue is with Youtube not deleting videos from their server, it's entirely in the account holder's interest for deleted videos to go to Purgatory for a period of time. YouTube HAS to plan for the case of hacks and mistakes because their users are humans. A very small minority will complain about "yar, yar, they said 'delete'" but the vast majority would say "I'm so glad YouTube undid the damage."
Well first of all, someone else knowing your username should not be able to lock you out of your account. So even if it isn't a bug it's bad design.

It looks like you can still sign in even if your account is "locked" which further adds to the theory that it is a bug.

All good points. Some counters:

- Re: React. I actually disagree with this given that OP is an experienced programmer. The react API is very, very simple to learn but difficult to master. The forced conventions are good for productivity. If you use create-react-app, I don't see any reason to put off learning it until later, but of course you should start with the JS basics before installing react. I'm not sure vue would be better; in fact it might be worse as a first experience, just because there is far less documentation / community / ecosystem around it.

- Re: python backend. That's fine, but if the goal is to learn JS, you're not learning much by writing the backend in Python are you?

Nice tip on the crossbar.io, I'm going to check that out.
That's nice. I guess we should just get rid of everyone, then the Earth would be perfect!

My daughter has significant food sensitivities. Certain foods cause dramatic behavioral changes. Dyes are a problem. Corn is a problem. Soybeans are a problem. Chemicals in the food are a problem. We've learned the hard way to be very careful about what she eats.

So I'm suspicious of "it's just the same". Yeah, it is, except for the traces of stuff where it's not. Those traces may not matter to most people. (Then again, they may - prions, anyone?) But to at least some people, the small differences really matter, not because of their taste buds or their feelings about their food, but because they legitimately react strongly to some things.

But you, why are you so eager to discredit someone whose viewpoint (I assume) differs from your own? Why are you so eager to ascribe bad faith or ulterior motives to someone?
It's not a stronger greenhouse gas than CO2 when it's sitting in a tank, and it's not a stronger greenhouse gas when it's emitted as hot, reactive exhaust into the atmosphere, where it is immediately reduced to CO2, CO, H2, H, H2O, HO, and so on.

But, like I said, premature and superfluous, even though we should still do our accounting carefully, and not rely on "OMG methane!" as the guiding principle of our thinking.
