We need some guidelines for proper 2FA implementation. The Instagram 2FA has a quirk were they don't prompt the user to write the phone number registered on the account before sending the SMS. This means I get like 20 password resets on my phone daily. In an ideal world I would use a token 2FA instead of SMS but that is not supported also. If anybody from Facebook/Instagram can pass this feedback along, it will be appreciated.

Eventually, this is probably what needs to happen in the US to fix the market problems with ISPs. NN is a stop-gap measure to prevent a mono/duopoly from taking advantage of their position.

so i guess the first thing i think is: where does the money go? i think it mostly goes to employees and contractors of the company, who get paid a lot usually. it doesnt go to the consumers of the product, they just get a better deal on things- not the same as getting money. in movie pass' case, i guess it goes to the theaters? i guess its just interesting to try and pin down where the money ends up going in lots of the these vc backed money losing endeavors. seems like the kind of article pricenomics would do a really good job on- taking 10 or so big money losers that ultimately kicked the bucket, and seeing where the cash all ultimately went.
>People are going to die based on our health care policy

Yes, and people are going to die based on our self-driving car policies, our affordable housing policies, our food subsidy policies, our energy policies, our alcohol policies, our gambling policies, our foreign aid policies, etc.

The crippling of the Internet via poor net policies could hamper technologies that ultimately would have saved billions.

> Da er zu wenig Geld für den Bau der Burg hatte, bat Radbot seinen Bruder, Bischof Werner von Strassburg, um Unterstützung

> Because of insufficient funds to construct the castle, Radbot begged his brother, Bischop Werner of Strassburg for support.

Whether or not that's a legend, it was not unbelievable, which is the whole point.

That castle was situated at an impasse of a river, where they likely extorted money, I mean "took taxes". The rest is convoluted history. I guess you heard the name.
Comparing MoviePass to Amazon is like comparing Michael Scott Paper company and Dunder Mifflin.
Precisely because eBay, knowing they were buying into a frugal-first operation like Craigslist, specifically structured the deal such that it was owed this duty. That Craig and Jim took the money under those terms is on them, as is their failure to honor the terms of the contractual duty they owed eBay for its minority stake, specifically including all the ways they tried to weasel out of the deal — for which eBay did have a legitimate cause.

From what I've read, if eBay had not bought that stake under those specific terms, there wouldn't have been a case here. (Or at least not this case.)

Again, IANAL, but I think that makes it more of a contractual duty case. A dog wearing a bill and wings, with a collar that quacks, is apparently a duck — if your lawyer is good enough…
The individual rights under the Constitution have been deemed, in the U.S., to only apply to government and government institutions.

The private companies are exercising their free market rights, unfettered by inconveniences like privacy rights, and thus can (as per the article and the random65... whistleblower user at the top of this thread at the time of this writing) track behavior and sell the data.

Therefore, does it follow that government canNOT be the buyer of such data? That police departments or the FBI or others cannot access this data?

Is there a Chinese Wall in place to prevent such things from happening. Or...?

I understand, but even when a bishop is appointed by a secular ruler (or vice versa), it's still a separate religious office.

Islam doesn't distinguish between mundane rules and spiritual rules; it's all part of "Sharia".

I read this and thought of the line about the universe creating bigger and better idiots. It seems to me that these scams are literally transmuting the seemingly limitless font of human greed into an evolutionary pressure that produces more gullible rubes.

Not all issues are a equal. Clearly not. But what is important changes from person to person. To suggest that your concerns and what constitutes a single voter issue for you is wrong is condescending. Since you think net neutrality is a stupid single voter issue then I suggest it not be one for you. But not everyone has your concerns.

It’s not a big issue for me but I can see why it is for others. People need to get involved and active. I’m not going to discourage anyone from doing this.

There is always a more important issue on the horizon. There’s always some cause that is more important. We don’t all get up in arms over the same things. To me climate change is the most important issue facing humans. I’ll advocate this position but my arrogance is not so great as to belittle someone else's pet cause.

So I’m not going to tell you that health care policy is a stupid issue to get energized about when the climate is changing.

> GNU is becoming the PETA of software, and it's not a good look.

As a GNU hacker (and co-maintainer of GNU Guix) statements like this make me sad. It is very unfortunate that Richard Stallman's personality is casting a shadow on the GNU project, which was started by him but is really a loose connection of projects that share ideas that were outlined in the GNU Manifesto.

I see GNU Guix in the tradition of other GNU software like Emacs or the Hurd that aim to give users more power and to remove arbitrary limitations. Emacs is probably the epitome of a hackable system that lets the user shape the software according to their own needs to an extend that is extreme and rarely found in any other system.

The Hurd aims to allow regular users to do things that in traditional Unices requires super-user privileges. It aims to remove arbitrary obstacles to free users from the unhealthy power dynamics of the user/admin division.

Guix gives users powerful tools to manage their software environments without having to beg admins, and to easily package software variants without having to depend on professional distributors. At the same time no user can harm another user on shared systems. Guix gives users the ability to take advantage of software freedom, by making it really easy to hack on software in a user-controlled reliable system.

When seen from this perspective, the GNU system that individual software projects are contributing to is a collection of tools that liberate users from helplessness due to unnecessary restrictions. This common goal defines the modern GNU project these days, and I think it is very unfortunate to overlook this because of Richard Stallman and his quirks, his sometimes dictatorial style, or his harmful attitudes towards important social aspects of free software.

I appreciate Richard's past work immensely, but I do not consider him representative of the GNU project that I work on, nor do I think his leadership style is benefiting the project.

Give GNU a chance based on the project's merits and its goals. Long live Free Software --- copyleft and non-copyleft alike!

To help, the short version on "why" for EventEmitter, streams, and Promises is that they're three different ways of doing things asynchronously, with different use cases and details.

EventEmitter - You expect to intermittently get individually completed values that you do whatever with and then discard. These values may be grouped into useful sets by the EventEmitter (each separate event type).

Streams - You expect to get raw partial data that you want to do your own buffering and handling with. You want to be able to feed this raw data to a different target (e.g. file writing) without handling the fine details yourself.

Promise - You expect to get a single completed value when an action is completely finished, or (for a Promise without a return value) you just want to have something contingent on an action finishing.

An example of each:

Streams: A TelnetConnection class that handles connecting to a server, then supplies a stream with the bytes from the connection (with each chunk being whatever is convenient for buffering purposes), and ends the stream when the connection drops.

EventEmitter: A TelnetHandler class that uses TelnetConnection and fires an event for each complete line (ending with \n).

Promise: A TelnetHttp class that has a method get(hostname) that uses TelnetHandler and returns a Promise for the full text return value of doing a simple HTTP GET call.

Can you indicate more than only yes/no for a measure of how secure the 2FA can be?

The choice of some site's 2FA implementations are known to be problematic, such as SMS only (easily hijacked), or supporting TOTP and/or HOTP, but also requiring you to allow SMS or "security questions", reducing the degree of security.
Your description is correct for tags, a little off for branches.

You don't have to switch to master to create a branch, you have to switch to the branch you want to branch off of, which is the same as git. Also, all branches are visible and accessible from any branch/revision, unlike tags.
You need approval from the customer if you're using a data provider that is pinging E911 location of the phone. Carriers require it. E911 location isn't that precise, its not like GPS and can be a mile or so off. It's good for detecting travel(banks) and roadside service.

I skimmed maybe two dozen of the comments on the story's website, and it's incredible how wildly hostile they are about trying to do anything to help the homeless.

I know at the crux of this is the belief that people should work to have a place to stay. All I can say is I can't bring myself to do it. I have been sober almost 15 months now and I've taken and quit maybe a half dozen jobs in the last two year or so. Frankly I just feel real uncomfortable most of the time. Nothing is worth being miserable.

I am on the housing first list here in Charlotte, where the homeless problem isn't as severe but prevalent nevertheless. I have been waiting since November. I've been often sleeping under a bridge, hoping somebody doesn't jump me in the middle of the night.

Supposedly housing is cheaper than letting the homeless remain on the street, but I think it comes down to the fact that working conditions are so generally odious that it is assumed any entitlements of free housing would result in the masses balking at work. And of course everybody is so self-centered they can only think of getting the freebie themselves, mindless of how fortunate they are to have a tolerable job, a family and the like.

By the way, I had this crazy idea that half of all income should be redistributed. I think it would make anyone making under $70,000 richer.

Jeremy, after a quick first reading, I believe the following can be improved in the paper:

1. In the introduction, there seem to be contradictory statements about the status of Inductive Transfer for NLP. It is first stated that it "has had a large impact in practice", then in the next paragraph it is stated that "it has been unsuccessful for NLP". How is it possible, having a large impact and at the same time being unsuccessful?

2. In the introduction, it is stated that "Research in NLP focused mostly on transductive transfer". Perhaps this statement were valid back in 2007, but it seems to me outdated. Recently most transfer learning in NLP are related to using pre-trained embeddings in a inductive transfer setting.

3. In the beginning of the "2 Related Work" section, in the excerpt "Features in deep neural networks in CV have been observed to transition from task-specific to general from the first to the last layer", I believe the order "first to the last" should read "last to the first", since the last layers have the more task-specific features and the first layers have the more general.

Steve was a huge asshole to a lot of people, when he had power over them. There's eccentric behaviour, and there is being a jerk. One's harmless, if odd - the other goes out of the way to ruin someone's day. You don't want to be the second one.

Consider the interaction between John Carmack and Steve Jobs that was posted the other day:

> One time, my wife, then fiancée, and I were meeting with Steve at Apple, and he wanted me to do a keynote that happened to be scheduled on the same day as our wedding. With a big smile and full of charm, he suggested that we postpone it. We declined, but he kept pressing. Eventually my wife countered with a suggestion that if he really wanted “her” John so much, he should loan John Lassiter to her media company for a day of consulting. Steve went from full charm to ice cold really damn quick. I didn’t do that keynote.

Do you really want to be remembered for anecdotes like that?
I generally avoid metered services where cheap unmetered alternatives are available.

First of all, 5 million DNS requests sounds like very little. It probably isn't due to caching, but it's hard for me to judge what I need/whether that's enough.

Second, what happens when someone who doesn't like me decides to make 5 million DNS requests? 5 million packets sounds like something a decent connection might be able to fire out in a few seconds. If I pick their highest plan, will a person that has a grudge and a fast link capable of IP spoofing cost me $2/second (theoretically $5M/month, although I'm sure they'd show some mercy at that point)?

> Whaaa ... ? Do explain, fascinating.

The stock trading I've heard of, and even seen news articles about before.

Location tracking lets stock traders know how well a store is doing well before public results are announced. If foot traffic is down at a store, time to sell off (or short) the stock before it becomes publicly known.
That's not how things work.

The different internet providers have peering agreements. If traffic isn't the same between the two peers, they pay the difference.

Simplified. If Netflix's service provider is Verizon and they have a peering agreement with Comcast and Netflix traffic is causing peering to become out of balance between Comcast and Verizon. Verizon pays Comcast and Verizon charges Netflix more. No one is getting a free ride.

I totally agree, hopefully I push something out this weekend that does this. I think we just need to rethink the storage ownership of all of these applications.
