Breaking Apple iCloud: Reset Password and Bypass Two-Factor Authentication(2017)
Trust me, you are not doing justice to these visuals by browsing this site on a phone.
Yes it's a single point of failure, but so what? I don't particularly care whether other organizations fail at the same time as I do, I just care whether I fail. Hosting my own chat system does not solve that problem. In fact, it may make it worse because then I have to worry about system administration, and Slack probably has more expertise on that. It's likely that they can fix this problem for all customers faster than I can fix my problem for myself. And it's not like I'm crippled when Slack is down. If it's urgent I can use the phone, and my todo list is stored outside Slack.
No. People should use IRC.

I'd say performance is better than iOS11 at this point. There's still a lot of rough edges and I suspect they have a debug build released at this point. I think the final build will be really good.
Many services block all mailinator domains by simply doing a live MX record lookup and noting the domain is pointed at mailinator (there are SaaS companies that offer this via an API). Another thing I've noticed is blocking email addresses on domains that do catch-all receiving. It's really frustrating.

I've used sneakemail for a very long time, but I've found that it's actually been resulting in worse things than simply having my registration blocked.

* Credit Karma banned my account (that I'd had for eight years)

* HP canceled my order for a laptop AFTER IT SHIPPED, recalling the package

I've had to switch to sneakemail only for things that I wouldn't provide my name to anyway.

Outside of Queen, Brian May is an astrophysicist, and his specialty is interplanetary dust composition. It's always cool to see him jumping in and sharing science with those who know him for his music career.
That was a depressing quote.
While entrepreneurs may raise a brow at the 10-plus hours Blakely spends aimlessly thinking every week, she views the ideation sessions as an essential investment in her company.

Well, if they do then those 'entrepreneurs' are idiots. Aimless thinking is very important. She's doing it in the car, others might do it in the shower, or out for a walk. It's super valuable.
I really believe the term "open source" should be avoided if the project is not under an real open source licence: https://opensource.org/osd

E.g. this uses a "Creative Commons BY-NC-ND" license which contains:
"NoDerivatives — If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you may not distribute the modified material".
So it restricts some rights that one would usually expect from an "open source" project, which can be confusing (https://opensource.org/faq#avoid-unapproved-licenses)

Cool project otherwise!
> No, the inline CSS is added by amp.js.

It definitely isn't. It's in the raw source, sans-JS. Whomever developed the blog theme placed it there explicitly. (it is a snippet given to you to copy paste while implement amp, but it serves no purpose other than to degrade performance for non-amp users).

> Malte is allowing people to host AMP content on their own domains I trust it a little more.

That's not how "AMP cache" hosting works. AMP is a system whereby the site source is crawled and rehosted on the server of an indexer. You can host it on your own domain to make yourself feel a little better, but the only people who see that copy will be those to whom you give that direct link (e.g. HN readers). Indexers are free to rehost your AMP content on their own "AMP cache". i.e. it's still going to be served from https://www.google.com/amp/s/certsimple.com/blog/nginx-brotl... for any mobile search traffic coming from Google (note the link is referer-dependent).

> AFAIK amp.js doesn't do any tracking on it's own - you need an analytics module to do that. Do you know differently?

You need an analytics module to avail of an analytics service to do your own tracking. There's nothing to indicate that Google do no internal tracking of their own.

> Do you know your CPU microcode well or would you consider yourself wilfully ignorant?

The intent of my comment was to point out that being aware of this issue involves a relatively low level of knowledge/investigation/interest. So low in fact that in my very first comment, I posted the entire 53 character sourcecode of the issue. Also, CPU microcode changes aren't causing 8s page load delays for me.

I use a trackball in my right hand. I use a trackball as it's more ergonomic, and I've had wrist pain in the past from using a mouse. I use my right hand because the oppressive burden of living in a rightie dominated world has made me somewhat ambidextrous. I switch to a mouse in my left-hand for the occasional times I'm gaming.

My last two trackballs have been imports from Japan. Apparently somebody claims a patent on the trackball, and sued Logitech, who have since ceased production of them.
For now, we still have a choice. While the article points out that we have a hard time resisting the urge to use our phones when they are in room, what happens with AR/VR becomes so embedded that we can no longer distinguish between what is real and what is augmented?

And I think this shows that the majority of consumers have absolutely no idea about product development. Say whatever else you want about Apple's decision to remove the headphone jack, but it was bold.

They got raked over the coals by the media, by consumers, by competitors. And in the end, looks like they were right.

It reminds me a bit of Nintendo. Nintendo often makes decisions that people say are bad. Motion controls won't work. The Wii is a stupid name. Link isn't a cartoon. You can't make a decent handheld.

But they hit more often than they miss. And even some of their misses are just too early. I mean, what is the Virtual Boy but a really rough Oculus Rift? The WiiU wasn't enough different from the Wii, but it led the way to the Switch. The Wind Waker turned out to be one of the better Zelda games.

You need to sometimes take those steps that no one else would in order to advance the art.
Fuck AR glasses. I absolutely do not want a society where they are an important component of participating in economic and social life. In my mind, that is a far greater threat to human freedom than any corrupt government or act of violence.
Earnestly: Yes. But there may well be programming tasks or jobs that they are suited to, for which no understanding of boolean logic will make no difference on a day to day basis.

> The narrative that this lecturer understands all disadvantaged groups because he's from one himself is a false narrative. Using that to build credibility for his arguments is laughable journalism.

I think that was in there to show that he's likely not a bigot, because that seems to be the default assumption about anyone that doesn't go along with the dogma of the far left these days.

Your comment gets me wondering though, in the case of the question about "why black people don't code": Are we able to pick apart the causality of "systematic disadvantages" vs "each group has it's reasons"? I ask because the "systematic disadvantages" narrative is seductive and there is a lot of anecdotal evidence, but I'm not sure I've seen a nice data on the subject that could prove one way or the other why it really is that "black people don't code".
>Okay, shall we upvote articles about how the earth is flat, or how evolution is false?

Why not? The scientific method doesn't preclude anything a priori.

Where is this consideration though? And where are the counter arguments? I only see a quick labelling?
Self publishing is not as easy or profitable as it sounds. You need to have loads of cash & contacts in PR. Then you need to get an editor, designer and a PR firm (contracts are costly as hell)

And THEN the book is published. Then you need to do marketing also...

That's why people prefer publishing houses. But in India I've heard that publishing houses don't provide PR thing.

Book sales are sky rocketing but publishing houses and Amazon have a total monopoly. Not every writer is a best selling author. I'm an unpublished writer, it takes around 2 years to research and write a decent book & not the crappy commercial ones.

Because publishers aren't sharing profits, authors don't go to write about things that plague the society. They write what sells ergo the books aren't literature at all. Etc
Please elaborate.

Are you gonna have games that mess with your mind when you’re away from them?
Same here. I think it's fair use, It's public service to fight spam. I don't think a judge will side with their argument that we're trying to take advantage of their great reputation :-).

The summer after high school, I worked for the parks department of my city. I just did general maintenance things, sold tokens for batting cages, emptied trash, "ensured the safety of the people in the park". I remember being so thrilled when I got an offer for a "real job" doing software development.

I miss working at the park. And I'm pretty sure it's not just nostalgia. I liked being outside. I liked working with the people there.

I've been doing pretty well at work lately, but I don't seem to get any happier with any type of promotion I receive. It's just more of a challenge, which I like, but it doesn't make me any happier.

I make more money now, and I just keep working hoping that I'll get to a point where I'm happy with my job, where I find something I like, but it doesn't really seem to be happening.

I made a throwaway for this because after I typed it up, I realized it's just me lamenting about growing up.. but I figure it's worth saying anyway.
Keep in mind that supposedly scientific movements were also behind eugenics, lobotomies, and other things that, in retrospect, look like obvious mistakes.

I use their Borg discount as well, and am extremely happy with it. I do wish it were cheaper, but I get 150 GB for $50/yr, which is enough for me with careful rationing.

Apple is not right to remove the headphone jack. I, for example, am not buying a new pixel phone specifically because they don't come with headphone jacks.

Don't confuse people not having any choice with people actually wanting not to have the jack.

Same with the non-removable battery, it's not something I want, I just don't have any choice.

> If anything as a Canadian I rather see Canada openly and aggressive court China, Russia, EU and Mexico+Brazil as trading partners to significantly reduce dependence on US.

Why? This is worse than working with the U.S. even with the tariffs. Furthermore, Canada is little more than a suburb of the U.S. as far as military projection; whose navy guards the Canadian ships if Canada flips the bird to the U.S?

> Canada needs to understand need of the hour is not to engage in moral-schooling with China and not to support ire-invoking causes in China -- our priority is Canada, Canadian economy and Canadians.

China is seizing Canadian property from Chinese people for political influence, I don't think this is the time to treat China with no suspicion.

> For too long our courting of USA and India has resulted in both US and India becoming arrogant towards us when it comes to foreign policy and diplomatic protocols.

> Finally, as a clear signal, Canada should step up border patrol and aggressively stop any intake of folks fleeing to Canada from USA - US needs to understand Canada is not a dumping ground for their unwanted folks.

This is pretty limited.
> what happens with AR/VR becomes so embedded that we can no longer distinguish between what is real and what is augmented

You might enjoy Vernor Vinge’s novel Rainbows End, which offers a version of a future where augmented reality is so pervasive that people stop really caring about the difference.

I must say that my own takeaway from the novel is that that idyllic AR future is only going to work out if, as Vinge assumes, driverless cars also become a reality soon. We already have people walking into dangerous traffic situations because they are looking down at their phones, imagine the chaos if people start moving into dangerous paths because they are chasing something shown by the AR view.

With reasonable typedefs the first loop becomes:

for(my_vector_t::const_iterator it = v.cbegin(), end = v.cend(); it != end; ) {
...
}

and if that looks long, then the problem is poor choice of type names in STL. I.e if the const_iterator would be citer, then with

for(my_vector_t::citer it = v.cbegin(), end = v.cend(); it != end; ) {
...
}

the need for auto is greatly reduced. Besides, if one just uses indexes, the loop becomes:

for(sized_t i = 0; i != v.size(); ) {
if (v[i].second > 1 && i % rand() == 0) {
v.erase(v.begin() + i);
else
++i;
}

that does not have dangling reference bug from the original loop, easier to follow and with sane compiler one gets the same code.

Surely the code only works with vectors, but when one deals with vector of pairs, it implies very specific problem that rather unlikely to change. It also show that the need for auto really comes from the design of STL that leads to very long types that auto mitigates.
Oh god. Who would have a Slack webhook as a blocking part of their pipeline??
Does anyone know about any Slack alternatives that support bots, GIFYs and emojis ? And above all that is not ridiculously slow.
Neat indeed; you seem to have discovered lots of interesting tidbits.

Of all you mention, two are extremely surprising to me, and I'm not even sure which is more - China course corrections and GPS jamming. The former sounds straight out of Cold War counterespionage playbook. In this day and age, why would they bother? The latter... again, are drones really that big of an issue to justify the jammers (and, presumably, legal clearance for jamming GPS)?
Or at least they seem on point when it comes to the administrations actions.
I have been a long-time fan of the Razer Deathadder, and I was talking to a friend about it the other day and realized that the reason I like it so much is because the form factor is very close to the original IntelliMouse.

Zowie mice have a dominant market share in competitive FPS gaming for good reason. It's refreshing to see a product range designed with such obsessive focus. They don't churn out new models for the sake of it, they don't festoon their products with RGB lighting and unnecessary buttons, they just make the perfect tool for the job.
How many rules does the US break? Is causing havoc in the global and regional economy of the Middle East / Europe not relevant for international trade?

The rules of the World Trade Organization must be set by the world trading countries, not by the US. Maybe China violates so many rules because they are tailored to (made for and by) the US.

Said another way: who says that the western way is the only or the best way? Is our system working so well? We need rules which allow for different economic systems to trade with each other.

Once you have world-wide acceptable rules, you enforce those rules. Breaking the rules is part of being in the system, and exactly the reason why a WTO is needed: to arbitrate.

Would you settle for "close enough"? I would guess that Sweden is probably close enough. So, what's the fraction of CS students in Sweden who are female? If it's close to the fraction in the US, then the US is also probably "close enough" (in that specific way, by that measure).
Self-publishing is a numbers game. The way to make decent money in self-publishing is to put out like 12+ books a year, churned out as fast as possible (which often means a very short and formulaic genre book with a very cookie cutter story), and building a readership by promoting and marketing constantly.

It takes a certain kind of author to do that, and most people writing in their spare time just don't have the time or energy to do that.

There are exceptions to that of course, but that seems to be the best way to gain any traction as a self-published writer right now, is to build a giant catalog of samey books that if one reader likes they can keep churning through your back catalog.

I have three published stories that have been part of a local group's short story anthologies, that self publishes one every year, and my total royalties from three anthologies has been $10. I enjoy it, and have grown a lot as a writer through the practice, so I still do it (one more is about to be published and another is in final draft), but it doesn't make money (granted, they don't do a lot of promotion either).

Meanwhile I've been working on my first novel for over 8 years now.

That seems to be the key in general for this age of easily consumed media, is to find something you can churn out quickly and consistently and build up an audience over time that way. It's why Youtube personalities chatting crap off the top of their head about games or current events see so much more popularity than individuals who put together scripted content, it's just waaaay simpler to consistently put out videos when you're just talking crap instead of scripting everything ahead of time, so you can quickly build a back catalog and keep popping up in people's news feeds with new material.
It's a book review of two new books, "Lost in Math" and "The Secret Life of Science".

The article's agenda is being fairly receptive to the themes of the books.
I have to say that having GFA Basic on the Atari ST as my first real development language made a huge difference, given that it had code blocks, functions, local variables, typed variables, arrays and record types and built-in commands for OS calls, memory access, matrix operations and a ton of other stuff. Made moving to Turbo Pascal relatively easy.

Yes...That's what I would do, and I don't even remotely consider myself an 'environmentally-conscious' person whatsoever.
I believe it's an effort to show a netsplit in the traditional form (server1, server2) without placing blame on a particular server.

Back when I IRCd regularly (and perhaps this is still the case today), certain servers would get a reputation for splitting more than others, and I think this network (and/or its ircd) decided to mask it without breaking the general format.
Surely some of the Slack team are hiding on here? Any idea what's going on? ;)
