I definitely agree. I'm very worried about the potential for a World War 3 scenario where not only has the warfare technology in combat, the weaponry and ammunition, the missiles and bombs and such becoming more precision and deadly components of war but beyond that the parties involved have the added digital technology, imaging technology, unmanned aircraft vehicle technology, and all the rest of the warfare-related tech that's cropped up over the last decade plus added to their arsenal.

In an all out war scenario we don't really know the extent this new technology will ultimately play. Is it going to be the type of scenario like the first two World Wars where rifling, tank, and air combat technology is going to be one of the deciding factors? Is it going to be something more akin to World War 2 where Alan Turing's work on deciphering of the Enigma Machines / Nazi's communication codes is going to play an integral role in preparation, troop movement decisions, and gaining the edge on the enemy?

I get the feeling, personally, that it's going to be a combination of everything above and more. Those individual military's capability of incorporating all of the tech at their fingertips and applying the knowledge / inferences gleaned while also making the best use of their cyber, hard, and soft military tactics is going to be a major deciding factor since the war will probably be staged on many fronts (physical and digital) between many allied nations versus many other allied nations.

The ability to communicate and execute will be as important as it always was (e.g. maximum importance, as usual) and I strongly feel that history will reveal the more technologically advanced and more wisely dependent nations of those technologies will write history as they become the winning nation(s) / powers.
It's a bad idea to shut down a service that hundreds of thousands of people find useful due to theoretical reasons.

The FDA needs to regulate supplements. At the very least they need more random spot checking and stiff fines for misrepresenting ingredients.

It's absurd that you can't trust that the ingredients list on something as mundane as a multi vitamin is accurate.

No idea in general. My chargeable rate, which is apparently cheap for the industry, is £45 an hour. My actual pay rate is £18 an hour, and I'm contracted for 3 days of 7.5 hours a week minimum, with anything over that as overtime. But that was a very custom deal and I suspect others in the industry are paid very differently.

Yes. But say you use suppliers A, B and C. On your supplier list you say "A, B, C, D, E, F". Then you are transparent, but still provide little information.
Yep. In any shared development context (or even solo but trying to ensure proper containment of component structure, logic, and design rather than just one ugly hodgepodge), there is no good solution without a framework. And because literally everyone runs into that problem, everyone has created their own framework, which is why there's so many of them.

But none of that is an issue on the backend, where there's no DOM considerations. No HTML or CSS either. Just Javascript. And there it's straightforward, succinct, and usually easily understood (usual caveat of bad developers, but compare average Node codebases with average Java codebases).

I'm happy to continue this discussion in further detail and share my experience. You can get in touch with me at the email address in my profile if you'd like.

You're hitting a very important question in your fourth paragraph about ambiguity of desired effect from interaction. I often catch myself thinking I've heard every use case and built most of them in various viz tools. But I have learned that I am always wrong when I think that. I frequently encounter people asking for new things and it is always a toss-up whether what they want is trivial and novel or impossible and obvious.

I tend to be a data-guy much more than a viz-guy, but I fully understand the value of viz for actually presenting knowledge. Like I said, I'm interested in trying out your tool more.

I think they're already looking into something similar, either through Electron, or their own wrapper over Chromium. I understand from skimming the resources your linked to that they had reliability issues with Electron, and I can confirm from a separate project that Electron and Puppeteer can become a little slow / unwieldy for a large-scale project. So I'm not sure :/

How do you get that authority to do that? What does "shut down" entail? Does that mean you can unregister or hijack domains? I'd like to know more about this, as well as the accountability process and where I can report abusive behavior that will actually get addressed.
The "chip that reconfigured the hardware" is already built in; it's the BMC.

"For 14 million people, the attackers accessed the same two sets of information, as well as other details people had on their profiles. This included username, gender, locale/language, relationship status, religion, hometown, self-reported current city, birthdate, device types used to access Facebook, education, work, the last 10 places they checked into or were tagged in, website, people or Pages they follow, and the 15 most recent searches. "

The attackers accessed different info for different groups of people.
I thought I was going to agree with you and then it all went sideways. You are right that some people "lose [their] minds" over the AWS scenario. I think the person that you are responding to is making the point that they shouldn't in that case either.

It would be much easier for you to give an example of a major problem people have with Chrome that can't be fixed with a flags, rather than ask them to exhaustively list issues that can be fixed with flags. It's not a very reasonable ask IMO. If you think they're wrong, just show your cards.

Wow, that's pretty badass. It is sad as lot's of people on HN have no idea the monster Sears once was. I still remember as a kid ordering a remote control fire truck from a Sears catalog. It had lights, sirens, full latter control, and even air brak sound effects as it stopped.

I worked at my local hometown Sears after high school
selling computers and the original iMac (should have loaded up on Apple stock) as fast as iMac's were selling (Oops).

Let's not forgot Sears employees a great number of people still, and unfortunately they are soon going to be out of a job.

Part of my point is that you don't need to "hack Facebook" to get basically every phone number. If you intend to indiscriminately spam everybody, you can just do that, you don't first have to "hack" anything. It's part of why robocalls are such a problem. The tech to do it is decades old; VOIP and later innovation certainly make it easier, but it's been possible and not that expensive for decades.

You only have to hack Facebook to improve your targeting or something, but as I said, I've seen at best no evidence, and really negative evidence, that the recent spate of calls is well-targeted.
But the way it was said, it implied that I should care about the burden on business. I don't. If you're saying I should be concerned about unintended consequences, then I can agree with that. But I'm not going to be upset that businesses are "burdened" by doing what they should be doing in the first place.
Centrally, perhaps. As a payment "platform" (i.e. including the merchants, POS terminals, etc.) that is very much not the case.

As with any breach it is always interesting to see how the scope gets broadened day by day.

For me, RSS is by far the best way to access web content.

I've tried some self hosted RSS readers over the years but I've stayed with FreshRSS[1] for the last year. It has been a marvelous experience. Zero trouble, zero administrative burden. Self-hosted bliss. Best of all is the fact that it uses a flat file DB so it can easily be backed up, moved around and migrated. Can not recommend it enough. Also, it's PHP, so works on any cheap shared hosting. That's how I use it.

One of the best things about it is escaping the algorithmically curated feeds.

Every and service that I use has an RSS feed, except for Twitter. I use RSS-Bridge[2] (self hosted too) to follow users. RSS-Bridge[2] will give you feeds for just about every service you can think of.

If you don't find a feed for a site, sometimes you just have to dig a little. You learn at which URIs the most commons CMSes presents their Atom/RSS feeds (hello /feed/).

Because I think the sites would rather you rack up page views browsing for the content you want to read as well. They'd rather you scroll through their index page than one curated and cleaned of ads/trackers. I do agree that the actual content parsers like FB and Google are even more contrarian to what these sites want.

As an earlier comment pointed out [1], random responses to security questions are a bad idea. I've personally tested this by entering a random security answer, calling the service, saying I forgot my password and entered gibberish as my security answer, and being let through. I presume technically-savvy people think this is more secure; if I can guess that, an attacker can too.

> I've built an FPGA graphics card for Amiga (VA2000)

That sounds pretty interesting! Every so often I think about the things I don’t enjoy when using computers and how I’d solve it (I’ve played around with hobbyist kernel/is development on occasion too, including contributing to Daeken’s RenrakuOS ten years ago..) but my motivation always drains when I think about how it would never be realistic to get hardware accelerated graphics working. Just the other day I was thinking that maybe my best bet is a minimal Linux system that boots into a full screen OpenGL application that basically pretends to be my OS. I even thought about doing it on a RPi3 since I have a few of them sitting around and it seems like a nice self-contained, expandable and cheap hardware platform to build on. Your projects sound like some of the things I’ve dreamed about but never actually did. :)
The actual document title is “TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR THE DELIVERY OF TELEVISION PROGRAMMES AS AS-11 FILES

Widower takes ban on military injury lawsuits to Supreme Court
Creating named address lists on Mikrotik routers is pretty trivial, so it's easy to create Remote_FW_Access_Allowed and add several remote IPs or netblocks to it. Then set up a firewall rule to allow Winbox (or other) port access from that address list (using an address list instead of a Src Address is on the Advanced tab when setting up the firewall rule).

Using source address lists with short timeouts it's also easy to set up port knocking - first port connection attempt adds to "Knock1" for 5 seconds, second port connection attempt from an IP on "Knock1" adds to "Knock2" for 5 seconds, (repeat for X knocks), connection attempt from an IP on "KnockX" adds to "Fully_Knocked" for (duration) (or "none static" for a permanent add). You can also do both a temporary add with a duration and a separate "Has_ever_knocked" with no timeout to build a list of all remote IPs that have ever fully knocked.

The UI could certainly be more friendly, but I think that's because they're avoiding having things that can only be set up from the command line.
