Exactly. I think of the HIBP password list as having three types of passwords (this is an oversimplification, but bear with me):

1) Extremely weak ones that lots of people use (e.g. 'password1')
2) Somewhat unique ones (their pet's name and birthday)
3) Truly strong ones (random, long strings)

I don't want users on my site using type 1 passwords at all. If a password is really type 3, the odds say that no user will ever try to use it again, so there's no collateral damage in blocking it. The person signing up with a type 2 is almost certainly the same user whose credentials are in the breach. I don't want them to reuse that password on my site because it makes their account vulnerable to credential stuffing.

My mother was a head nurse / nurse practitioner before she retired and to this day she is a fountain of unwanted, long disproved (or at least questioned) nutritional "facts" which she repeats endlessly.

The one that has grated on me for decades is old propaganda from WWII about carrots promoting eye health and bestowing night vision... though fats are easily in her top five evil substances list.

There is literally nothing I've been able to do to change behavior, including keeping an entire directory full of publications of studies refuting whatever falsehood she's spouting to read out loud at the dinner table when I come to visit.
Ehem. I'm in Auckland and so far I haven't seen anything wrong.
The point is, its unreasonable to restrict rights to make it convenient for policing.

We both know, there would be outrage if men were so profiled (by restricting their rights wholesale). To ignore this part of the issue is disingenuous.
I agree that these problems are rare, but they do come up, at least they did in my experience. As you alluded general programming and software design is not the same as knowing how a particular framework works. The former is much more valuable, but at the same time if someone is able to understand in depth a complex technology/framework he/she is most likely great at general programming and software design.

Nobody "came up with" the idea. It's the consequence of a principle of the American Constitution, wherein only Congress can appropriate money. This is a bedrock principle, because it provides a check on the Executive: The President can yell all he wants, but unless Congress appropriates money to pay for whatever it is he is yelling about (in this case, a border wall), he doesn't get it.

For observers outside the US, the idea of "the national government shutting down" probably seems way way more alarming that it does to most Americans. Almost all basic services in the US are handled by states and municipalities. This includes garbage collection, policing, firefighters, schools, local tax collection, road maintenance, the majority of prisons, most courts, most water and power infrastructure, building inspections and permitting, and many more.

Even airports, the site of a lot of hand-wringing during the shutdown due to the TSA (security screeners) and air-traffic controllers being federal employees, are usually (always?) municipally or state-owned. I have no idea of the legality of these municipalities or the airlines themselves stepping in to pay the ATCs or screeners, but it doesn't seem totally bonkers.

I didn't change my argument. "Just bruteforce the login page" is not a go-to method of the competent attacker. Why? Because it's trivial to stop it.

You want simple concrete example of how to stop all that "unlimited amount of ip addresses with captcha solver service" stuff? No more than 20 attempts per day with ip different from the ip of the last successful login. Here it is, you just solved the "bruteforce problem". That's all you have to do. Other things are just quality of life improvements.
It seems like it worked this time (it's not over yet). But they can try again next time. And again if it also fails. Will the response in opposition be as loud ? They can try as many times as they want but they only have to succeed once, while we have to succeed 100% of the time. This fundamental imbalance is worrying.

It seems to me that the Minilogue XD is just a stripped down Prologue. The Prologue is fairly prosaic (and largely analog, since we were talking about digital) -- being largely 8 Monologues in a box. Except for one item, the programmable oscillator facility. That is definitely innovative. Extensibility is pretty interesting; of course, it's been done before (Mutable, etc.), but not on this scale.
> It's actually supposed to be mutual judgement.

Agreed, I was being sarcastic.
Just means the main use case for "AI," (not ML) is probably too ambitious for tech for the foreseeable future. ML has a lot of useful applications for decision support and data analysis. But the key use case for AI is: to be sufficiently sophisticated that it can shield owners and managers from liability.

I would go so far as to say there are almost no instances where someone using the term "AI" is not referring to the deflection of liability for an outcome from a human owner or manager. It's a euphemism and we should identify it when people use it. Perhaps to coin a phrase, we should specify that AI really means "deflected or diffuse accountability," or DA.

What I mean is that I don't go screaming "the internet is doomed" for months before the actual vote like I've seen many forums posts and articles claim.

However I have no issue in warning people that "if the proposal is accepted as is it would do great harm".

>How would that not affect organizations like the EFF or ACLU or whatever the EU equivalents are? I know that most of the population, even if they're massively effected by the destructive effects of IP maximalism, are not actually cognizant of it at all. That makes those of us opposed to it "special interests" too doesn't it? We're trying to lobby for technocratic policy changes that will benefit us personally even if it will also benefit others too. It would likely benefit many of us commercially too, which isn't an inherently bad thing. How do you create an objective set of rules around that?

They can still organise, spread information and argue their point. I might have been a bit broad in my strokes. There should be no organised "secret" lobbying, that is I wish all that the politicians do and talk about in their official capacities should be recorded and open. This includes internal party meetings, lobbyist meetings etc. It is very hard to create this objectively but the end-game for me is to get back-door politics out in the open.

I once read a book by L.E. Modesitt Jr names "Haze" which has a system that I actually find very appealing. It's a bit much to recap it here but if one likes to explore different systems this is a good one imho.

When I started work on version 1 of Polychord for iPad (almost 10 years ago, wow!) MIDI wasn’t available yet on iOS as a public framework. I decided to use the MIDI format for the underlying synth I built, regardless. It made sense because it was already a solved problem, and was well-suited to a resource constrained environment.

In the end it was maybe the most impactful decision I made, as MIDI flourished and Polychord found a niche as a controller. Inter-app MIDI became one of the first ways in which iOS apps could work together rather than being little islands unto themselves, which then led to Audiobus, which led Apple themselves to open the door to cross-app features on the platform.

It may be a dated standard, but a standard nonetheless; and that’s valuable in ways that are hard to quantify.

Hacking on top of MIDI is not always easy, but it can be gratifying. You also discover fun Easter eggs — like the names of defunct manufacturers buried in the data bytes of the spec.

If you feel that GNU belongs in the name, I would say that it should be last since, with this subsystem, you need Windows up and running before you can even insert any GNU tools. So, Windows/GNU or more precisely: Windows + GNU.

However, you could enable the subsystem without installing any GNU tools at all if you wanted to. Then you could install whatever alternative tools that you wish to. Also, I don't think that the OS name should change when I install a set of applications. For instance, when I install Paint.NET to do all of my image work, I don't refer to Windows as Paint.NET/Windows.
I'm curious whether this is actually as dangerous as the article implies for the people participating.

Obviously for most people on HN installing random software and turning over the keys to a social media account is a bad idea. But I know people who have mostly quit Facebook and have an old laptop lying around they never really use with nothing particularly sensitive on it.

Now morally it sounds like this is a bad idea, since the ads are promoting sketchy drugs and gambling. But as far as computer security risk? I'm not sure.

No, I'm actually telling you why people buy antiquated devices like wristwatches. Or air cooled porsches. Or wooden sailing vessels. Or nice shoes (alden has a marketing budget of approximately zero). Some people really like craftsmanship rather than mass-produced utilitarian disposable garbage! Just because Glashutte Original is owned by swatch doesn't mean a heck of a lot; it used to be owned by the East German government. Still the same creative small company with a dedication to craftsmanship and tradition (admittedly it sucked under communism), rather than a trillion dollar company with a dedication to vacuuming up as much of your dollars as possible on the backs of slave labor.

FWIIW, as I said above: I do not buy watches from the "big" conglomorates (which, all together, are smaller than the ipad market). But I am glad they exist.

BTW I have a pocket watch which has been in my family since 1882. Try that with an apple watch and let me know how it goes.

It almost certainly is not. There's no reason these guys would be significantly more likely to screw you over than literally any software vendor.

Lots of weird scaremongering in the article:

>“They can easily install a backdoor or steal your personal files including but not limited to personal photos, electronic tax records, banking information, etc,” he said.

... Yeah? It's perfectly normal for people to pay money for software capable of doing all these things. On the other hand, these account rental people are actually compensating you.

I wonder how this guy would feel about Steam for example, millions of people paying for videogames that can easily install a backdoor or steal your personal files.

Making credential stuffing harder is the main reason to do this. Credential stuffing works because users reuse credentials across sites. If someone attempts to use a password from the HIBP database, the two most likely cases are that it's extremely common or the same person is reusing it. Extremely common passwords are bad for all sorts of reasons and the same person reusing a breached password makes the account vulnerable to credential stuffing.

Matlab:

exp(-i*pi*[0 0.5 1])

Python:

import cmath
import numpy as np
np.exp(-1j*cmath.pi*np.array([0, 0.5, 1]))

Note that you can't use math.exp for complex numbers, and neither math.exp nor cmath.exp works for arrays, you need the separate np.exp. Also, while np.exp actually works on lists, the multiplication doesn't, so you need to keep in mind which variables are python lists (that you mostly cannot do arithmetic on) and which are numpy arrays.

When you are experienced in Python, you know these differences by heart. But if you are a domain specialist and want to test an idea quickly, you will see lots of TypeError messages from Python, you need to google manuals to sort it out, and it will slow you down 10x.

Correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm not that familiar with it, but isn't the point of WSL to lie to applications and present itself as the Linux kernel in order for them to be able to run? If that's the case, then the fact that they have to re-implement the Linux APIs in Windows makes the case that Linux is, in fact, the core, and without it you have nothing―of course I don't believe that statement generally, but that's what their argument would actually imply.

Not like this discussion merits any importance anyway, this is just another pointless argument about semantics. Most (if not all) parts of the GNU system are just another swappable component in the "GNU/Linux" ecosystem.
This is the saddest part of this new artificial intelligence gold rush; not everyone has security/cybersecurity/defensive programming training. The mistakes we see with ETH smart contracts or with JavaScript on web apps is going to be replicated at a far greater scale and at a more dangerous level with machine learning.

Not only will there be algorithmic bias problems, but security problems too! :'(
It means that you can switch the kernel beneath the userspace and hardly notice. So the Linux in GNU/Linux can be replaced, giving you GNU/NT, I guess.

Debian actually tried this a while ago with FreeBSD, but I think it was discontinued.
We all know what will happen next, they will make a new proposal under a friendler title with better deceptive phrases with extra goodies thrown in to gain just enough of an edge to make it pass with the ambiguous text that they want to have passed.

> Legislative intrusion into the womb has a long history in the United States, and nowhere is this paternalism more forceful than when illegal drugs are part of the equation.

a) legislation on everything has a long history everywhere

b) 'forceful intrusion'. I see what you did there.

c) Paternalism? why does legislation have a gender? if it concerns motherhood, why is it not then materialism? What are we presupposing by this?

so really, subtext wise, legislating anything to do with pregnancy is basically rape of women by males, even if it is proposed by females, because it is 'paternalistic' and 'forcefully intrudes' into the womb.

right. got it.

> By the time the epidemic was over, the view that the fetus was a person with rights superseding the mother’s had gained considerable traction in practice.

So please, tell me more about this 'novel view' that didn't exist before, and how it was created directly and specifically as a result of incorrect negative imagery used in the so-called war on drugs.

Yeah.. no.

Someone is mad that their particular viewpoint w/r/t pregnancy is not as popular as it once was, and is digging up all the self-referential straw men needed to define it in order to 'prove' that they are still there.
