That was the administration vs the intel community. There were CIA reports advising the administration that there was no clear evidence but the admin pushed the WMD narrative really hard because of a potential.

Even then, it was more complicated than that because Iran was on the verge of attacking Iraq (which is probably why the admin and military were pushing to move in the first place).

Tangent aside, it's different when US administrative, US intelligence, and multiple other countries are in agreement about Chinese hacking and intellectual property theft.

If newspapers did more than just write stories and gave us their sources and citations that backed up their story, without the rhetoric, I'd be more apt to take them seriously.

But their constant grandstanding and hyperbolizing is asinine. The language is deliberately biased and I'm wondering if they have any dignity left in them.
Oh yeah, I was blown over by the 'cube' switch back then. When Chrome gained popularity, I remember using Compiz to hide the title bar on Firefox.
> if [...] the breach began in 2014, the system would already have been operating securely for five years. It is difficult to imagine how an architectural or platform vulnerability would not have been discovered or exploited sooner.

I mean, that seems very easy to imagine? Just last year Wannacry exposed an RCE exploit in Windows that has been present since at least Windows XP (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/securitybu...). And there are orders of magnitude more people looking for exploits in Windows than Marriott's internal systems. I don't find this article particularly credible.

I'll reply here to both you and baroffoos, it's basically the same question.

> Does this principal apply to X for y?

In a vacuum, yes it's a principal.

In reality, while it's an antipattern it doesn't mean you should be afraid let alone disallowed the ability to exercise good judgement and make a call.

Full window, emersive games are the perfect example of UI elements like buttons that should probably be reskinned - wisely. I say wisely because you can still reskin buttons in a way that affords familiarity you can also reskin them in a way that makes them abhorrent.

A converse example is windows based skinnable hardware interface software like MSI afterburner and the like. That sort of thing is absolute unthought, untested garbage.

For website buttons I think the ship has sailed and the default elements actually look alien.

In fact a lot of CSS frameworks improve net usability from defaults anyway.

Now, is it an antipattern to use them? In essence yes, but considering everything no. Caution, many css frameworks have UX issues and you need to make a judgement in your evaluation about which features to use. I like to see how their autocomplete / dropdown features work it's usually a good litmus test because those things are basically impossible to do right.

And this why we have UX people.

It is the marriage and trade off of usability/hci and designers to create a usability experience that delights.

Though things still tend to lean toward design first approaches. Which aren't incorrect approaches but do tend to lack emphasis on circling back to fix usability later.

I think website internals are widely debatable but do have norms you must consider.

I draw the line at breaking out of the window sandbox and altering browser UI. It assumes all browsers work the same and creates a dependency on the browser for a shared experience.

An inconsequential example: setting browser ui color on mobile version of Chrome. Now your whole website design feels very native and is reasoned about with that native feel. That can them lead to inconsistent design assumptions being made on the desktop. Maybe your color selection clashes badly with the desktop grey.

Like I said, inconsequential, but might illustrate why messing with it might be a bad idea.

The other big reason I throw down at the browser window line is accessibility. Messing with things like button sizing / scrollbar sizing and things wrecks absolute havoc on these users. They also make English centric assumptions about designs that are almost always wrong eventually.

Is there an actual dummy class called `typing.Any` that will magically pass a type comparison against any other Python object?

There is an object called "typing.Any". It's a singleton, immutable, un-subclassable sentinel object for static type checking tools to recognize and handle. Runtime type checkers cannot work with it; it actually overrides both the __instancecheck__ and the __subclasscheck__ special methods to raise exceptions and forbid attempts to use runtime isinstance() or issubclass() checks against Any.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Ontology, "the philosophical study of being, [...], existence, reality, [...] and the basic categories of being and their relations". [0]

A narrower related field is Taxonomy, the practice and science of classification.

I like the "cube rule" as a very coarse grained way of classifying food! Classifications of things can become pretty crazy, in particular when they try to classify very general and dissimilar things (example, the schema.org vocabulary [1]).

Now someone should turn the cube rule to an OWL vocabulary so machines too, like we humans, can understand the difference between a hot dog and a salad [2].

Sorry to spin off topic, but perhaps having the chance to speak to someone that's worked on SSD firmware for the first time...

is there any feasible way to recover data after a TRIM command has been issued that you can think of? Is there any way to trick the firmware into not returning 0's when reading the blocks of a deleted file? Mostly interested in doing so for Apple

TRIM destroying the entire data recovery and forensics market seems like such a big deal, I still can't believe it although it started years ago

The wobbly windows were the best for me, and the exposé clone.
Yes, and that's just it.

If a software product takes off, that can happen incredibly quickly, and the new product is primarily composed of code. If a hardware product takes off, the change can't be nearly as fast as it's bound by manufacturing, and the code is just one component in each thing.

I happen to be working on firmware for a VOIP phone today - we'll end up making N million of these things, over some number of years. If I were working on an Android app with similar functionality, that app could conceivably go to N million people tomorrow, or 10N, or 100N...

Anyway, I don't think I have a particularly clear or concise (or even correct) argument here, but it's the only way I've been able to rationalise what we've observed.
They shouldn't have collided; they weren't paying attention.

They shouldn't have sunk; there wasn't that much damage but multiple critical structural systems failed which are present in many other ships from the same manufacturer.
I don't think that discredits my point or it's information. If anything it points out how much of a problem this stuff is and how uninformed (or at least disconnected) developers and designers are.
oh yeah, I wouldn't suggest that they ignore the threat. It just seems puzzling behaviour to me.
right. fair enough, good example.
I am a user of several Plaid-powered apps, and I will say that most of my banks eventually drop out and need me to reactivate the connection (usually because a security question is required or something like that). With an API, depending on the implementation, this may never happen, so in an odd sort of way it is more secure in that you definitely won't forget about it and have it running for years. I have to actively try to keep everything activated and running.

He seemed to say the database wouldn't have 500 million records in it at a time since they are deleted but that seems irrelevant with how the breach took place over 4 years. Anyway the article seems to be just speculation, which is disappointing.

Edit: this article has gotten a lot more upvotes than I would expect if something this quality, is there something about it I'm missing that makes it particularly insightful?
I consider myself quite well versed in crazy bombings and shootings in American history. I have watched probably hundreds of hours of footage from 9/11, Waco, Ruby Ridge, Columbine etc.

But never once have I heard about this bombing, and never once in my 26 years on this earth have I ever imagined that a state fire marshall would be willing to stand next to a live bomb to examine it.

1980 must have been a different time!

If you're trying to imply it about her being a woman, the article itself isn't helping your point:

“Track Changes: A Literary History of Word Processing” (2016), “she remains a relatively unknown and underappreciated figure, with nowhere near the stature of other women who played significant roles in computer science and the computer industry and have since been recognized by historians.”

That is, even amongst women of significance, she never achieved any real recognition.

Show HN: LIT Ave – Social Video Walkie-Talkie (iOS and Android)
Ask HN: Mac dev tools with signed downloads?
Many popular development tools for Mac are distributed in binary form without signatures on the binaries. I'm afraid one of them will install a backdoor on my Macbook, steal my credentials, and then steal user data.

- https://brew.sh (Download and run an unsigned script.)

- https://atom.io/download/mac (Binary not signed.)

- https://emacsformacosx.com/builds (Binaries are not signed.)

Is there any way to safely get such tools? At the moment I just need an HTML editor.
> It is almost impossible to imagine a scenario in which an external hacker is able to gain access to the primary encryption keys.

I was reasonably sold on what was being said until that comment. Impossible is a strong word to use when it comes to computer security. It seems that everyone who has claimed that there system is unhackable, always ends up being hacked.
Holy shit, that's a blast from the past! I must have ploughed hundreds of hours into TetriNET back in the day.

It's been so long that I can barely remember how any of it worked, but IIRC it had some sort of scripting language or config file that would allow you to modify game parameters on the client side, so you could give yourself an advantage by binding a key that would issue you a particular special block, or ensure that you were never automatically assigned a negative special block, and so on.

Now to see if I can get it working in 2018...
Shipbuilders are designing shaftless propulsion systems for future warships which would put electric motors and propellors in pods under the hull. That would improve hull integrity and reduce the risk of flooding multiple compartments.
There is great irony that a technology predicated on all transactions being public, has by far the most inscrutable, opaque, secretive market.

I know it's because almost all trading takes place off-chain on secretive unregulated or lightly-regulated exchanges, but I still find it a significant demonstration of the limited scope of the technologies basic tenets (see also my comment about how it's not "trustless" in a meaningful way).
I'm pretty sure that either having an accident every year or never having one in a lifetime is unusual. I base that on the following back of the envelope analysis.

My collision insurance is $270 a year, which I think is fairly reasonable for NY. I was involved in an accident a couple years ago where the corner of my car was smashed in a bit, pretty much the definition of a "fender bender". It cost about $3500 to fix, and if I had been at fault, I would have had a $1000 deductible. Repairs could have been $2500 if I was more lucky in exactly what was bent. So, that suggests my insurance company breaks even if I go about 5-10 years between at-fault accidents, or 75,000-150,000 miles. In the aggregate, I assume they do estimate risk pretty accurately, so I expect that 5-10 years is normal. Whenever people mention what they are paying for insurance, it usually seems to be higher than mine.

Hello everyone!

I'm Kandarp Dave, Founder and Engineer of LIT Ave.

LIT Ave. is a Social Video Walkie-Talkie (chat) app where you and your friends can send each other 10s small-frame, casual, video-messages.

App is available for download for both iOS and Android.

Website: https://LITAve.com

iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lit-ave/id1414091249?ls=1&mt...

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.litave.lit...

Mission behind creating LIT is to bring Social back into Social Networking. When networks, such as Facebook, started, they were great! But I think as time passed, they've gone too much into the "Social Media" category, and the social aspect got lost.

Similar case with WhatsApp and other chat apps - as time passed, too many features such as sharing and forwarding were added, and the social part has been lost again.

I wanted to take a step back from the whole Social Media, and create something that I could use with my family and friends, something that was personal, simple, quick, easy to use, and didn't have any gimmicks.

I wanted to build something that wasn't ambiguous like text-chat, where you don't know what emotion is being conveyed by the person on the other side.

And I wanted to build something that made me happy when, for example, my wife sends me a video walkie-talkie message of her and baby, I actually feel good knowing they're doing well.

With these things in mind, I built LIT Ave. where I can feel good and be happy being social with friends and family. And today, I want to invite Hacker News readers to try out the app, and tell me what they think!

Core features of the app include:

- Private video walkie-talkie chat with friends

- Private video walkie-talkie chat with a group

- User Profile

- Friends (Send Request, Accept/Reject)

- Invite friends from your contact list.

I've worked extremely hard on the app, and I'd love for you to give it a try, and let me know what you think!

Thank you,
Kandarp Dave.

Google transnation:

Could "Sola TS" do more? "Sola TS" still had the tire lights when they drove out in the fjord, although ships should not light that obscures the visibility of the red and green lanterns.

"Helge Ingstad" had noticed the lights that were the tanker and had plans to take a boat and sail around (ie on the side towards the fjord, not on the side towards the country). 3:58 AM said, "The Sola TS" captain is about to make a 10-degree change of course towards the fjord. A little after four o'clock, after Helge Ingstad reported that they would not turn into land, "Sola TS" hit the full hill in the machine. They put the ship in reverse, while the warship came against them at the same high speed.

Why did they sail straight to the lights? A big question for the Havarikommission is what is why the KNM "Helge Ingstad" sails right towards the lights they think are part of the Sturerminal (but actually the tanker). No matter what the lights are, that's something they're on a collision course with.

The war ship first carries out a last minute kidney robbery.

- Why do not they turn away? No matter if they think it's a fixed object or a ship?

- That's what our survey will have to answer. We will look into how they used their technical aids aboard the frigate and how the cooperation was on the bridge, says Ytrehus in the Havarikommisjonen to VG.

Could the ship be saved? The frigate is built with a series of watertight bulkheads that will prevent the boat from sinking. But the accident commission has found two errors in the boat construction . During the crash the frigate got a big flange in the side. Water flowed into the room with the generators that make power to the vessel. And that would stop there. But instead, water flows through a hollow propeller shaft and into the girder room. This is the first mistake they have notified.

The damage
About. 45 meters long cracked

The second mistake is that it does not stop there. Because when the girder room is also filled with water, the water moves on to the aft and the farther engine room.

When do we get a final answer ?: The Hearing Commission has one year to deliver its final report. The police investigate if there has been a criminal offense during the accident, but the investigation will take time. The Armed Forces have set up their own investigation commission, but even who is in the commission is secret .
Independent of what? There is no living outside of things. Everybody has to live somewhere, they have to eat, they have to get medical care when they get sick, they have friends, they have family. It's impossible to just show up to things without preconceptions. Being a human doesn't work that way.

I mean, those are much closer to functional than imperative tbh. At best it's simply too abstracted to discuss either way. Recipes would be a better example.

If you want to use that example it'd be more like this snippet that no one on earth would tell their children:

> Starting from n = 0, take the nth vegetable from your plate, insert your fork into that vegetable, raise your fork to your mouth, bite that vegetable, remove your fork from your mouth, masticate, add one to n, and repeat.
sorry for inserting my own product into the conversation, but I am running out of ways to understand the failure of my product.

I wrote a prototyping application (https://www.ux-app.com/dev/editor). It's on life support at the moment and brings in only a couple hundred $ per month.

I think it's a lot more powerful than inVision and many of the other successful tools. If you have time then add a mobile table view to see how powerful the editor is.

Why is it failing so hard? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Eli
I bet it's possible to achieve layout completeness (in the same vein as turing completeness) with a much simpler markup and styling language.

I'm actually more interested in implementing a toy OS or a toy compiler for a toy language because the browser seems to be a more of very specific complex mess of mistakes and legacy choices rather then a serious theoretical concept. Although I'm sure you'll still learn a lot if you implement one.
My Linux+ Notes
Thanks for sharing the interesting article! This effect also applies on presentation slides.

Just checkout my archive for some slides I presented a few years ago. I would have thought that they are random compilations if there are no file names.
The IRA usually (plenty of exceptions and changes over time) phoned ahead, they wanted the impact of terrorism without the bad press of civilian killings. Not a particular relevant example in modern times though.

I wonder if it's more about phsycology, someone making a bomb threat is seeking attention for some reason and ignoring it might make their behavior escalate.
Yes but those subtleties are lost on the general public and most foreign governments. Regardless of the causes, in the end the US government lied. Credibility is fragile.

I applied for a house and car loan few month ago. I was rejected because of my low credit score of 545. I owned a home for 18 years, never once late on the mortgage payments. Sold in 2006 and all 3 credit bureaus recently removed this and say I have no recent credit? Then dropped my scores nearly 200 points. I tried all i could to get my score to as excellent as it was but all effort doesn't yield any result until i came across this hacker on Youtube Cyberhack005 @gmailCOM. who’s formerly a FICO agent. Just in few days he helped improved my credit score to 850. I promised I’ll share my experience with you guy as possible as I can, you can mail him if you have issues with your credit, need to clear records, liens, clear debt, remove judgement and all others
