If you don't also complain about the use of "really", you are just signalling.
This is an attack simulation tool.
It can be executed from its C&C server but also from other machines in your network. By that you can simulate different scenarios like: what would have happen if my web server is compromised; or what if someone steal credential of a member of the IT team
The FFT version is interesting

G∗K == F⁻¹( F(G)·F(K) )

So if we iterate t times (as in t step in time) this do we get this formula (convolution product being associative) ?

((G∗K)*K)*K ... t time = G∗K^t == F⁻¹( F(G)·F(K^t) )
There hasn't been Direwolves south of the wall for more than two centuries.
So if its not relevant why bring it up in the first place?
In theory, it ought to be "we can't tell you how many increments there will be because you'll have working software in your hands every two weeks, and we don't know enough now to say when you'll ask us to stop. It should be clear whether we are on track after the first 2 or 3, but you can pull out at any time after the first with a usable product." The whole premise is to get the client to buy into a subscription, rather than a single deliverable.
That can only be said by someone who's never read Barbour's books.
At the same time the board will finance the fancy new buzz words though. So combining both requirements I would say the art is in trying to use tried and tested technology to fulfill buzzwords.
I love this approach pushing every advertiser and publisher into spit bucket.

An analogy here would be someone hating cars' tag readers in public. Law gets passed its illegal, yay! Then 2 months later your car payment goes up 30% and you scratching your head. Yeah well since they couldn't recover enough cars from people who don't pay, they had to adjust their financial models and you are the one to pony up for it.

GDPR will wipe out many niche blogs that make few hundred bucks a month top and - as this article clearly points out - will ironically help companies like Google to make more money and jack up pricing for remaining ads, as the whole ad network will get much thinner.
Best-Paying Industry? It's Not Banking
It's somewhere in the middle, depending on how elastic demand for the thing being peddled is.

If you're talking about something like Coca-Cola, where each ad exposure might prompt someone who already has a fridge full of Coke to go grab a can right now, then yeah, that is very much true.

If you're talking about something like prescription pharmaceuticals, where demand is tightly constrained by how many people actually have the condition your drug treats and what doctors are prescribing, then I would bet the GP is correct. Then I'd expect advertising for competing drugs to behave more like a prisoner's dilemma.
There was a piece of news lately about a gaming company tracking users and exfiltrating data about their web use to catch pirates. I'm afraid I don't have a link handy.
Going to https took my live site down, running out of ideas
From everything I read, I'm looking to do a massive replace('http:','https:')

So far I've changed all /public_html/wordpress/ files to https and the wordpress database(15,000 entries) replaced as well.

Still running into issues on everything outside of my homepage. I think wordpress has some sort of redirect that is killing the css/javascript.

https://efficiencyiseverything.com/wp-content/themes/

The moment anything goes deeper into content, pages stop loading. Thinking its a redirect loop hidden somewhere.

Any ideas what to google? This is day 3...
Why spending $2 is necessarily bad? I could be buying advertised product that actually improves my life that I wouldn't have known about otherwise. While it's not the case all the time, there's no explicit loss to you in spending more.

Also in regard to TV, ads are needed even for simple toilet breaks. Excessive ad amount such as 20 minutes per hour is definetely way to much, but some time off the show makes sense in broadcasting where the user can't pause the show whenever they want.
USDCHF: Remains Vulnerable to the Downside on Corrective Pullback
By following a different business model? Employ a small team, sell ads based on relevance to the content you're reading, going after niches... It's not like there's only one formula for success. GDPR is going to force a different formula on the market.
you need to ask permissions if you re processing them, locally or not. plus then you dont have control on data deletion, with the user leaving their data on public computer etc.
My one gripe is that they gutted the Avarasala character completely - she is one of my favourite book characters ever but in the show she is so watered down.
I'd say the direction you are going is correct. And I would add that the big payoff is in understanding of fundamental problems, not libraries or algos. For instance you should know how TCP/IP works and HTTP works (not just theoretical but hands on, i.e. know when to use curl, when the browser and when tcpdump for debugging). But you don't need indepth knowledge of the currently hip web framework because in 5 years it won't be hip anymore.
Correct. EU businesses have been put into one-way contracts to service their customers.
One thought that comes to mind is that household power outages are usually a result of a downed power-line, blown transformer, or similar. Your connection to the grid is lost, but the grid still has plenty of power.

In that case, you wouldn't put power back into the grid b/c your connection has been broken. You use the battery for your own power instead.
I guess the UK ICO has a different (read: the correct) view:

""When we do need to apply a sanction, fines will not always be the most appropriate or effective choice," Denham said. "Compulsory data protection audits, warnings, reprimands, and enforcement notices are all important enforcement tools. The ICO can even stop an organisation processing data."

"None of these will require an organisation to write a cheque to the Treasury, but they will have a significant impact on their reputation and, ultimately, their bottom line," she said."

https://www.out-law.com/en/articles/2018/april/gdpr-uk-watch...

This is stuff the ICO has been doing for decades anyway, because they've always had the power.

Remember when they got a warrant to search the London Office of Cambridge Analytica? That was pre-GDPR.

If you think you know more than the UK Information Commissioner's Office about GDPR compliance, you're delusional.
Dark Matter was a bit more of my cup of coffee than The Expanse. Like in Firefly it is a small rebel crew on a ship exploring the universe.

Still glad the Expanse was picked up.
> relax and BBQ in the "outdoors" any time you want

In Poland (which has similar climate to Moscow), it's not "any time you want", but more like May-September. For me, it's one of main reasons for not owning a house - it's a major hassle throught the year, but you reap the benefits for only around 5 months in this climate.
Kanban is not a method. Kanban is a way to structure tasks and activities.
For some reason I assumed they were referring to the board game "LIFE" and had developed a continuous version with respect to the money (so that things weren't always in increments of $10,000). Not sure how having children would work on a continuous domain though.
>I’m not confident in anything I’ve written ever to have it picked apart by a team of expert witness programmers.

Then you shouldn't be handling PII, any more than you should be handling credit card details, genetic information or military intelligence.

>Maybe that means I have no business working at a startup. Maybe we should think about the implications of that.

The EU has, and has decided that having seen the alternative, it would rather just not have the startups. I think that's a reasonable position to take.
Please don't put out assumptions like "PM = Psychology + Economics" without an indepth argument about it. I completely disagree with such statements and without arguments I can't even attempt to see it your way.
I respect your opinion, but I strongly disagree.
The security of their network is a legitimate interest. The regulator would see that alone as sufficient reason to gather data, especially if that data is mostly discarded 7 days later.
It was in reference to your reference to Palin's "lamestream media". That is, while some do argue that News-Corp/Fox provides news to challenge the "{main,lame}stream media" of Disney/ABC, Time Warner/CNN, CBS, and Comcast/NBC they collectively are all owned by large companies, so have a built-in bias towards issues that favor large companies.

That there can be a corporate media bias certainly doesn't mean that those who write for non-corporate media don't also have their own biases.
Which bank allows you to take >10 years to pay it off? For less than 5% (over inflation) annual interest?
My reading is: if it's a mistake, hopefully other people learn from it. Because usually people only learn from their own mistakes.

Trying to get your entire reddit history, for example, is an obnoxiously difficult thing to do. It's impossible to get more than 1000 comments with the officially supported mechanism, leading people to do all kinds of strange workarounds to try to find older comments.

As a 10 year redditor, that really frustrates me, since I can't go back and see my early posts any more.
I used to play it a bit about 25-30 years ago. One of my best friends owns a comic shop, and we (a steady group of about 10 of us) used to go down there every Friday night and play various board and strategy games, D&D included every so often.

Then it all stopped when we started getting busy with work, getting married, transferring interstate etc.

But last year, one of our group passed away suddenly from cancer, and we were all at his funeral. We agreed then that we should start up the regular gaming nights again, even though we are all in our 40s and 50s now. Just last week we set up a Facebook group to start organising the games and to start planning characters for the next D&D night. It is good to play like carefree kids again.
There are no toilet breaks at my cinema either, what's the difference to TV?

> But that’s also a race to the bottom

Only if you assume popularity is static. "Innovators", and then "early adopters" keep trying things to move it forward. Popularity is fickle and disloyal - i.e. dynamic.
Man. I really wish Netflix or someone would pick Dark Matter back up. Loved that show.
Not about creating broken networking software or broken software in general.

Have you been in Usenet in a networking group around 2000. Good luck with these fake opinions.

Just because some startup incubator is great at grabbing words from the hacker culture ("ycombinator", "hacker" "news"), does not mean they get to redefine the meaning.

They are just greedy, greedy for money and words they can appropriate.
This is nonsense. Ads are payed with sales. Money is not created or destroyed in the process, therefore...
Scoff. 30%? There's no way a rate of returns is anything like that. Just think of the volume of post that would be going out of suburban post centres! The delivery network obviously doesn't look anything like that.

I think it's much simpler. The chance that any person is say, buying a fridge at any point is very low. If you're 99% sure that person has already made their purchase, that means there's a 1% chance you're wrong, and they're still looking! That's a much better signal than any other signal you're going to get.
Another way to help is for users to conserve energy. Most people and companies can reduce their consumption while gaining quality of life by paying more attention to their use.

While conserving doesn't solve everything, it seems an essential part of the strategy.
I don't think this needs to be reposted.

i think he meant "invasive pop up ad networks". These are not necessarily tracking you (in fact most likely not as they are low tech), and gdpr doesnt do anything about them.
I don’t write client side browser code these days any more, but when I did back in the 2000s, I remember people bashing using tables for layout, and how everyone should switch to CSS.

From quick googling of what CSS Grid Layout is, seems to be like we’re back to using tables, we just offload it to the style sheet.
If you assume K is unchanging, yes. Like if it were a fixed point on the board.
I don't think age has anything to do with it. People either prefer hard keyboards or not. Technology should be an enabler, and allow people to use the device formats they want. Just because 90% of people are now used to touch keyboards, doesn't make the remaining 10% wrong.
I believe.

So far, Musk has done everything he's promised: decent electric roadster, electric luxury, SUV and mid-priced cars, powerwalls and roof panels, re-usable light and heavy launchers for obscenely low prices and turnaround times, tunnels under LA. This stuff is all real and working. You can quibble about schedule slips or whatever, but none of this is vapor. In fact there's already an F9H payload overshooting Mars orbit.

So where's the bullshit?
If I'm completely honest, I wish the marketing and advertising industries would simply die off completely. I don't need businesses to tell me what I "need" to buy, in order to feel fulfilled.

>"An analogy here would be someone hating cars' tag readers in public. Law gets passed its illegal, yay! Then 2 months later your car payment goes up 30% and you scratching your head. Yeah well since they couldn't recover enough cars from people who don't pay, they had to adjust their financial models and you are the one to pony up for it."

Maybe they should have shown some responsibility, and not just pushed unrealistic loans on every Joe Six-pack who walks through the door.

Also, this culture of instant gratification that advertisers and money lenders have created is truly vicious. It has become culturally accepted to just take another loan to buy stuff you "need" (read: desire, to one-up your peers), never mind the consequences.

Try saving up instead or (shock and horror!) simply doing without the trivial material possession in question. You'll be tired of it in a short while anyway.

>"GDPR will wipe out many niche blogs"

That is purely unfounded speculation on your part.
I'm a Python programmer, so what I'm most interested in are Python and PyPy. Both with ctypes and with the cffi module.
If freakonomics was right, with its fear of flooding distribution below a huge dam, then the distribution of those posting should fall into two distinctive camps. Those living and working in wooden buildings inside and outside should post that they feel fear.

Those living and working in huge office-buildings and skyscrapers every day in the bay should post a complete absence of fear.
The tables bashing was because it resulted in tag soup, even though it was conceptually easy.

This doesn't suffer from the same problem.
Stupid question perhaps but why would I want a ghostery account in the first place? It's just a local offline plugin.

In a way I'm glad this happened. This highlights why gdpr is needed. If you can't handle my data safely you shouldn't handle it at all. Keep your plugin offline and account-less.

> Allowing “ad-walls” like agree in order to see content they are making GDPR pointless.

Not at all: on the surface, it's the difference between "give me a dollar for a bar of candy" and "here, have a free bar of candy (and I'll help myself to a dollar (or two))".

Beneath the surface, it means that the ad-financed newspaper will have to aggregate their PII in-house (or with the help of carefully vetted partners) into targeting decisions instead of blindly throwing it over a wall to random third parties.
An excellent point about public computers. I can't immediately see how to deal with that.

NPM CI: A Command You Should Know and Use
You still have the issue that the content must be of a form that a) attracts advertisers and b) attracts readers, so ad-blockers are only partially effective, you are still consuming content that is written with (consumption of) advertising in mind.

I don't think there is any solution for that when visitors to the web site are the primary source of income for the individual or organisation behind it. All schemes, even Basic Income for journalists, are flawed in some way if you rely on single sources for what you would consider authoritative sources of information. A return to the Coffee Shop model, as advocated by The Economist, seems to be the most viable, given current human nature.

There are the famous phantom buses, the App says it will arrive and then at the last moment it just disappears.
The exact same thing that would happen today if some hacker ramped up production from a natural gas plant. Either the rest of the grid would respond by ramping down production or voltage/frequency would go out of whack.
Coming from a C background I always stuck with double quotes for strings. Single quotes are used for characters in C. I think double quotes are better anyway because an apostrophe is much more likely to turn up in a string than a double quote itself. I rarely have to manually escape quotes inside strings.
Careful about unintended consequences. I saw a project where someone built a version of "Asteroids" where certain fake asteroids would appear or not based on ":visited" css or something. Then by recording where players shot at, the site was able to infer which of various websites you had visited.
GPU – Centered Font Rendering Directly from Glyph Outlines [pdf]
If data is stripped of all identifiers that could be used to associate it with a natural person by any reasonable means, then it isn't personal data. If a unique key could in any way be used to identify a natural person, even indirectly, then it constitutes an identifier and any data associated with it is personal data.

https://gdpr-info.eu/recitals/no-26/

A salted hash of your IP address is an identifier, because it can be used to indirectly identify a natural person. If I see the same IP again, I can hash it with the same salt and check for a match. The IP can then be used to identify you through your ISP's DHCP logs. If I associate the hash value with any other data, then that data becomes personal data.

If I delete the salt value, then it's impossible for me to match the hash to an IP, so the hash ceases to be an identifier. Assuming that the data associated with that hash does not contain any other identifiers, or data that when combined in aggregate could identify a natural person, then it ceases to be personal data.
prescription drugs are only advertised in the US so in the grand scheme of things its a minor market for ads.

Important Security Update (Netgear Arlo)
So they should’ve added new tags for layout, instead of table,tr,td,th ?

Much like yield vs await in Python3 asyncio.

In the Python 2.7 days, people used generator functions to implement async in Python. When Python3 first came out, you couldn’t do both generator and async in the same function. I assume it’s because they used the same mechanism internally.

I think it was Python 3.5 which added support for async generators.

But increased ads grow the category around the same product so competitors benefit from it too and overall in more competitive markets prices go down on average.
> You've just redirected one of your legitimate users to the attacker.

I interpreterd it as being redirect back to your own address. E.g if I'm an attacker and my IP is [FE80::2], then I'd be redirected to [FE80::2]. Same for an user. And if you've got attackers from 10k IPs, then I'd think it'd be unlikely that you'd single out a single attacker IP.

If anyone here thinks the damage Trump is doing will only last while he’s in office, remember that we will feel the effects of so many of his policies long after he’s gone.

But it isn’t just Trump. It’s this particular band of crooks that are in Congress that all know that they have limited time to shove all their pet projects through before they get kicked out, and are enriching themselves while they can.

Never a better lesson that voting matters. Even being an adult and voting for the lesser of two evils.
You can still pick these up in used bookstores. Garage sales are also great spots to get them.
Really? HN is the only website I frequent where there is any significant opposition to the GDPR. All social media I frequent, all general-interested news sites I read are universally happy about a crackdown on ads and personal data selling. They joke about the deluge of privacy policy updates, but the jokes definitely make fun of the companies and not of the law.

Think it has anything to do with the HN crowd consisting disproportionately of the tiny minority of the workforce who make a living out of exactly the kind of behavior the GDPR wants to restrain?
My vagrant install failed under HyperV after the update. After spending a couple of hours trying to get it working again I switched over to Docker for some legacy Rails projects and installed native binaries for the Elixir project I was working on. I’ve used Vagrant for years but I guess it was time to move on.
They are. And the US also has famously high prescription drug prices.

I'm not certain that the two are related, but it certainly seems plausible.

None of these options will solve your issues. Your attackers will simply re-adjust the mechanism as soon as they figure out your heuristics. You'll need to focus on two efforts:

(1) Being able to identify the IPs from which attacks originate, in real time. You will need to blacklist those hosts (for a limited period of time).

(2) Minimizing and limiting the impact of traffic you previously flagged, on your infrastructure. Ideally, as hostile traffic is flagged, a response is never sent (at the TCP/UDP level). You absolutely do not want to serve any flagged requests. Block traffic as early as possible.
