As far as I can tell, the SEC statements have changed almost nothing. Most people understood the situation even before the SEC said anything, some people still refuse to acknowledge reality even afterwards.

I have yet to meet anyone who has changed their opinion on the legality of ICOs as a result of the SEC statements. In this respect professional fund managers are basically no different than redditors, where you show them an SEC statement and they see whatever they want to see in it.
Maybe it should be, "Once you are not in danger any more, you love people."

I don't disagree with the OP here per say.

However I do think OP made a mistake by using Hadoop as the example. Hadoop has much more in common with an OS at this point than a single application. The ability to download a single component of the eco system is mainly to support small scale testing and development.

You wouldn't build Debian by going and getting each piece of the linux kernel from its source building those building all the pieces of the middle ware up and so forth... that is the whole point of having Debian in the first place.

Do certain complex software eco systems need better support for fingerprinting their builds, Yes. Does all this mean the sky is falling... probably not.
Really love the idea! The extension is a bit buggy for me on facebook.com but otherwise seems to run smoothly.

That is mighty patronizing of you to tell someone that their concerns aren’t worthy enough. A majority of Americans who are registered to vote don't. There is an abundance of apathy in the U.S. toward the political process. Here we have someone willing to go so far as to contact their elected representative and you respond as you did.

Off the top of my head I can’t name another issue that has support by majorties of both parties. This is an issue that is most likely to gain sympathy of Republican senators and most likely to result in an instance of the peoples' interest outwaying corporate interests.

Instead of encouragement we have jaquesm here to let us know that you follow American politics pretty closely and we should all concentrate on something else. I do not subscribe to your patronizing attitude.
We spend lot of time thinking about making our services resilient against failure at the infrastructure level yet the domain registrar is often overlooked.

Not only do you have to worry about them making a technical mistake there is also the risk of a phishing attack.

A while back I did a bit of research about what was the most reliable registrar and the only one that i could find was Markmonitor. Most of the big sites (google.com facebook.com etc) use them. They offer lots of cool features that i had never heard of like registrar level locking and custom 'protocols' (like a phonecall from X no. of authorised people) to validate a change. Plus some others that seemed less interesting (to me) such as the brand protection.

They do of course charge a pretty penny. From memory there was a minimum cost of $30k per year which allowed you pretty much as many domains as you might want and the promise of being able to get ahold of a human if something goes wrong.
Verbing nouns and nouning verbs is probably as old as verbs and nouns.

These words are all nouned verbs:

Chair, cup, divorce, drink, dress, fool, host, intern, lure, mail, medal, merge, model, mutter, pepper, salt, ship, sleep, strike, style, train, voice.

(according to this, anyway: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/the-basics-of-verbing-nouns/)

Shakespeare verbed nouns.

"Compute" as a noun is at least 20 years old, according to my memory, and there are several high profile products named this way that are more than 10 years old.
It is even more basic than that. Amazon, Uber, Netflix, and almost any other successful and established business creates value. MoviePass is not creating value and is simply trying to purchase its way into being a middleman between theaters and theater goers. If their pricing structure ends up showing the slightest chance of generating more revenue for the theater industry as a whole, there is nothing stopping the theaters themselves from adopting the pricing structure themselves and cutting MoviePass out.
That completely ignores the fact that ancient communities used the lunar calendar with periodic corrections every few years. 360 is equal to 12 lunar months, to the precision required of the ancients who practiced the insertion of entire leap months to compensate for drift (because the phase of the moon served as a more reliable clock than anything else that was available).
Lack of value of doctor labor and efficent labor in general perhaps? Since phages need a culture first to be sure the right one is selected. You can't just give broad spectrum phages. Which isn't just "laziness" or cutting corners on expensive labor but helpful for patient results so they don't get worse while waiting for results.

If I recall some accounts correctly Soviet doctors often depended upon grey market bribes to afford supplies if they weren't party favored. Phages were self replicating and needed fewer doses per patient if selected properly. However they are highly specific, and the phage banks need updated with every mutation which may happen mid-treatment. They are second in line for a good reason.
Could you elaborate? I read the linked article, and it didn't explain anything to me. How does it work when you change lanes at 60-70mph?
I'm pretty sure you can find a DC at either AMS-IX or DE-CIX where the contract won't allow them to kick you out during the politically heated time (i.e. you should find somewhere with a 1y+ term), and iirc both exchanges have, due to their non-profit nature, no ability to kick you out unless your actions are actually illegal. So, unless you get shut down by a court of law (both host countries have them (well, almost, but compared to the US they are great)), you get sufficient bandwidth at those providers.
Ofc eyeball networks can blackhole you w.r.t. their customers, but that is a whole different hurdle compared to just refusing to do business on the basis of freedom of contract/freedom of association.
Sure it will cost you, about $6k/month for 100Gbits, not including hardware and rackspace. But if you are 'just' concerned with your static website staying online on the clearnet, this should be affordable (i.e., you should be able to host them from ram, and serve up to 600Gbit/s from a 1U AMD Epyc, for like $7k in hardware, not counting the ram (15$/GiB of content you want to host, with a minimum of 32GiB, up to 512GiB getting a discount, and up to 2TiB being possible)).

Don't depend critically on companies risking political alignment with you, if what you do has any significant risk due to political association.
That doesn't prove anything other than making it popular to admire the Emperor's clothes causes incorrect classification results. If you tell a population that only the best people can see how great the Emperor's clothes are, they're going be way off in noticing that he's naked.

Yeah, that's the point. In any real, coherent domain, you can tell when someone's lying because your model is coherent and based on something real. When your model is 99% expectation, then it can be easily fooled. That doesn't means your model was good; it means your domain is a fraud.

I think some people take a different lesson from the parable of the Emperor's New Clothes.
This won't get a House vote in a Republican controlled House. But the senate vote gives you an indication on where the Republican party stands. They're not going to change their minds.
Switching from T-Mobile to Google Fi might be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire ;)

The Google Fi Terms of Service says they are collecting location data:

"When your device is turned on or when you use the Services, we may collect and process information about your actual location. This may include information about your current activity (e.g., driving, running, walking, etc.), which lets us know when you may be moving between different mobile and Wi-Fi networks." https://fi.google.com/about/tos/#project-fi-privacy-notice

I'm okay with Google collecting location information, insofar as they only use it to provide cell service, and not for advertising and don't provide it to 3rd parties. Unfortunately, their Privacy Policy states that they can use it for advertising:

"We use the information we collect from all of our services to provide, maintain, protect and improve them, to develop new ones, and to protect Google and our users. We also use this information to offer you tailored content – like giving you more relevant search results and ads ." https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=us#infouse

And they can provide it to 3rd parties. Note that they require "consent", just like T-Mobile's privacy policy:

"We will share personal information with companies, organizations or individuals outside of Google when we have your consent to do so." https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=us#nosharing

So even if they are not currently providing information to LocationSmart, according to my understanding of their privacy policy, they are able to.

There's a pretty noticeable effect in HN comment karma where the same comment is probably worth an upvote if it's at zero or negative ("this didn't deserve to be downvoted"), but not if it isn't ("didn't deserve to be upvoted, either").

Like the phenomenon you describe, this suggests that a lot of people are trying to use their vote to move the total vote towards what they think it should be, rather than purely expressing an up-or-down opinion independent of the existing vote.
> I've heard people say how GNU code is bloated and messy many times before, but never that they're prone to failure.

Just have a look at changelog for coreutils [0]. Sure it's very long, especially if you're not following its releases, sure it's full of weird edge cases that you might've never encountered (I'm certainly way too lazy to go as far as to look for those rare bugs that I stumbled upon years and years ago but there definitely were some), but this, IMO, is a great illustration of how GNU (or, rather, GNU coreutils) code is "prone to failure"—mainly because it sometimes tries to do way too much.

Checked exceptions are nice. You can use them if you want to make them part of your API surface.

> "Scripting" in a compiled language is not practical.

The premise is that scripts grow, and you should switch to Python. Which might be okay for Google, but seems to be only a very small step up from Bash, if any at all. (I've outlined the reasons, why I think it's not worth it.)

I do a lot of scripting, in Bash, and when that stars to grow on me, it's time to think about the problem for real. And usually a blind rewrite in Python is not the way to go.

> For some tasks that's perfectly sensible.

Those are the one-off scripts, no? Anything that should run with some regularity, anything that should be reproducible, that handles valuable data, is not something that should be cobbled together in bash/python and thrown into /etc/cron.d . Or apparently that's how Google rolls.

Yeah, well, maybe not everyone is an SRE, so the use case here seems to be build scripts and other not-so-critical scripts, that still have to be maintained, where knowledge of Bash/POSIX-sh is not really assumed, it should just work for anyone who checks out the repo.
How do startups that don't network well with VCs survive in this kind of an ecosystem? Doesn't this make VC money the kingmaker to penetrating a market? I'm not sure having to be well-connected enough to be favored by VCs is a good thing in the long run for the economy, but maybe this isn't such a different situation from the pre-VC status quo.

"The fact that Google and Facebook were able to generate such enormous profits and growth does give hope to some companies," Mr. Ritter said. If start-ups can figure out to convert a large user base into paying customers, he added, "it can be enormously profitable."

Did Google or Facebook "convert a large user base into paying customers"?

Is that what enabled them to "generate such enormous profits"?

> To be fair to many ICOs they don't make most of these claims.

"Many" == 99%. There are no non-scam ICO's.... even the ones that aren't intentionally run as scams are, ultimately, scams.

ICO's don't invest in a company, they "invest" in a brand new "currency" that somehow magically reflects the value of the "company" that created them. Why anybody would buy into this is beyond me...
tl;dr clickbait. Answer: because moving costs more than housing. We're talking about people who are barely getting by week to week.

Great idea for an extension.

One thing I noticed straight away that I thought was worth mentioning is that a notification doesn't popup when visiting the regional Amazon websites like Amazon.co.uk/.de/.es/.it, despite it being possible to enable 2FA for these sites through Amazon.com.

Screenshot: https://vgy.me/UaHJm1.png

This is also mentioned on twofactorauth.org...

Enabling on Amazon.com activates 2FA on other regional Amazon sites, such as UK and DE.
It's interesting that there was no talk of anxiety. In talking about the availability heuristic, which is refereneced a lot in Daniel Kahneman's _Thinking Fast and Slow_, they also talk about how anxiety tends to activate System 2 (which is the one for deep thinking), as opposed to the intuitive and nearly autonomous System 1.

Creativity and intelligence are considered different, but related, and Kahneman talks about how the activation of System 2 allows people to make more well informed (smarter) decisions.

If you have multiple domains you could renew them at seperate times.

Has the advantage that a failure might not be so disastrous either.

There are real reasons why companies like MoviePass exist, why companies like Snap lose money, and why investors back them. It's just a land grab where you have to move fast to establish dominance.
The only attack I feel is calling C/C++ a language. It's two languages and we don't like each other very much. People who spend a lot of time trying to write good C++ avoid much of C's bread and butter like malloc and free, and the general hatred of C++ from C developers is well-documented.

I happen to prefer C++ to C and D to both.
Youtubes recommendations are terrible but occasionally I find some good things. Firehosing my videos subs this way has not made the experience any better

I tend to have a really bad habit of subbing things I dont really need too. I used subbing more as a way to "bookmark" channels I like. I do the same with github, I am that type of person that 700ish repos bookmarked

I do put alerts on channels I know won't constantly spam me with too many videos (e.g. smarter everyday, wendover productions, mark rober, tom scott, primitive technology). Usually i watch every video that gets released there

I dont put alerts on channels that are good quality but high spam (e.g. casey neistat, tested, vsauce, etc). Normally i just binge watch these in one setting.

I dont put alerts on any programming or shiny tech channels. Like tutorials on how to use react, etc. I go to youtube to get away from all of that and would naturally seek those videos out with search terms anyhow.

I put a like button on every video ive watched that doesnt suck and leave comments to timestamp videos. I put dislike on videos that are poorly explained or didntt work for me (e.g. these are usually how to install xyz videos). This way i can instantly know if I've seen a video before ans found it useful or had to debug something years later (IT type stuff) to find it didnt work out

If i liked a video i check the top comment if its mine.

Basically I use google and youtube as my own personal search repository. Its like forking a github repo and adding annotations. I treat it the same way. If im going to 9 times out of 10 google something in the end, i might as well make the process easier to do next time.

Im still looking for a better UX youtube experience that doesnt suck. Havent found it yet.

How i would like to have it is organized by the following.

1. High quality videos low spam first uptop in feed.

2. Everything else sorted by its video category type and or playlist

3. General recommendations from youtube
The crazy thing is, their marks see this as validation. “The SEC warns about them, because they will revolutionize banking”
Sure, but it leads to a community that gets very quickly very angry at tiny things (because of the expectation that the person will ruin their day), and as a result those who don’t want to deal with that leave the community.

Left is a group of people that react very angry very quickly, even out of the game.

My Comcast bill, over the course of two consecutive months since the beginning of this year -- and since the apparent, "inevitable" coming end of net neutrality, increased about 25%.

My Congressmen are going to hear about this. About how, for the better part of 20 years, Ameritech/SBC/ATT refused to upgrade my neighborhood trunk line, that doesn't even support DSL. In a high-density suburban neighborhood in the home/headquarters state of the corporation.

About how Ameritech/SBC (now rebranded ATT) received the better part of three quarters of a billion dollars in tax breaks and other incentives from the State of Illinois, in return for a commitment to provide "universal" (minimum 95% coverage) broadband access throughout the State. Whereupon, they immediately turned around and lobbied the State legislature to let them out of their side of the agreement, that commitment, while keeping the tax breaks and incentives.

They're going to hear how, several years ago, I couldn't watch Netflix streaming without constant interruptions, particularly during prime viewing hours, because Comcast refused to peer with Netflix in their datacenters -- at Netflix's expense and providing of the necessary equipment and installation. That problem didn't resolve until the bad publicity and outcry was giving Comcast (and its ilk exercising similar manipulation) an enormous PR black eye.

This right at the time Comcast was attempting to launch and gain traction with one of their "competing" streaming video offers.

About paid advocacy promoting lies about support for their actions within non-profit centric communities, such as... was it the NAACP, or another organization, that was supporting Comcast quite apparently in return for contributions.

How Congressmen supporting these telcos' agenda are functioning as paid shills for these private companies. Not just lobbied. Outright bought, with no effort or success in actually understanding the issues involved.

And I don't vote for paid shills.

--

P.S. My State Democratic representative made the rounds, a couple of years ago after some heavy local storm damage. I took the opportunity to tell him about our local problem with ATT. (This was after the storm aftermath's crisis period was passed; he wasn't overloaded with it.)

He told me that actually, he had a meeting with ATT executives the following day and would bring it up. And that he'd get back to me on that.

I never heard a word. And when I followed up later with his staff, I still didn't hear anything.

I don't vote for him, any more. I faced that decision again, this past April. And no, still no vote for him.
More likely to use their service regularly. At $10 you have a certain percentage which will go once a month. At $50 you only attract the people who go twice a week.

Thanks for the feedback! We use the data from twofactorauth.org as our main data feed, so that is where we pick up the domains.

I am definitely open to augmenting those entries, but trying to think about ways to either automate (ideal) or crowdsource contributions on the data side.

Any thoughts? Would you be interested in contributing data updates like this?
> that didn't change suddenly between 2016 to 2017

How do you know? The availability of AWS didn't change much between 2016 and 2017, but maybe 2017 was when people started using it en masse.

In business school, they play the beer game ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_distribution_game ) to emphasize that a change at one end of the supply chain has weird, lengthy effects on the whole thing. You don't just switch seamlessly from the old state of affairs to the new; there's a big, massively awkward transition period.
That doesnt make individual users less of a security risk. This boils down how much harm an individual user can do, most of which the individual user doesnt have the full grasp off. It can be a simple as introducing something into a system and enabling an inside attacker or walking around with a audio keylogger in form of a usb stick. Your laptop with a borrowed usb stick can record the sound of someone way above your security clearance typing in sensitive data while being in the same room. This sensitive data might be a trivial as a cost center number.

Those rules arent draconian, someone somewhere was hired to make a risk assessment and found them to be necessary. You dont circumvent them period. Thats the responsibility of each an every employee. No matter if you think they are stupid, it isnt your call to make, except if someone hires you for exactly that, then they are your responsibility to do right.

Most attacks arent some espionage stuff, its plain and simply precaution against fraud and theft. And they target people who are to proud for their own good who never think of themself being at threat. Which is sadly something a lot of computer scientists have a bit of a problem with. No one wants to believe they could be duped like that, they surely would know it better. Security policies are there to not have to rely on individual egos and look at it more realisticly. Most of us will be duped when taken advantage of in a bad moment without enough time to think about it. Thats why people do it.

There is a reason even the CEO and CSO have to wear their badges. There is a reason a lot of Snowdens colleges started to get really scared once it became clear which credentials he used to access the files. And they were lucky, he could have been a criminal and sure as hell wouldnt have mentioned that those data leakages where his responsibility. He could have simply been a criminal transferring money in their names.
