Requesting a blind password reset is not a "compromised account".

"We similarly also lock out after X failed login attempts."

That is not affecting an authenticated session with the actions of an unauthenticated session; that is affecting unauthenticated sessions with the actions of unauthenticated sessions. You should not cancel logged in sessions because of failed login attempts for the same reason. It is a violation of basic security principles for an unauthenticated user to be able to affect an authenticated session. You open an attack vector, one that can and has been used, and can and has been used to escalate as well:

1. Blow through the login limits on the target user's account.
2. In the interests of "security", you cancel the real life login session because of the unrelated actions of attackers.
3. Wondering what's going on, the users checks their email and see the attacker's well-crafted phishing email about how they need to reconfirm their password because of [security bibble-babble].
4. Because it's so temporally-related, the user is much more inclined to think it's valid and click through.

That's just one way to exploit it that comes to mind; statistically, that's going to be much more effective than blind emails.

Don't let unauthenticated sessions affect authenticated ones.

I drive in an area with some roundabouts, and a lot of polite drivers. There's a handful of drivers that think they are doing us all a favor when they "upgrade" the yield signs on the roundabouts to stop signs. They're not. You're doing much the same thing; security isn't about going in one direction all the way and being as paranoid as possible and shutting down access at the first sign of trouble. It's about getting the balance correct, because being over-paranoid can open you up to exploits too.

What does the "in good faith" mean?

Of course if as a hobby I want to use their patent to help me build/improve my electric car, then now they won't sue me. But the question is, what if I'm Tesla's competitor, or if I want to be, will they allow me to use their patent when I'm trying to compete with them, and "steal their business"? Because no one will use their patent if they might sue them after for "using their patent against them", but on the other hand, is using their invention against them "good faith"?

Is there no proper and legal way to share their invention that indicates exactly what can and can't be done(something like an open source license)?
That painfully resembles the approach they used in the Soviet Union: "Yes, Ivan Ivanovich is a great poet, but is he a true communist?" And if the answer is no, then no, his book will never be printed.

It also helps that the definition of being "a true communist" is sufficiently vague to turn pretty much any situation in either direction.
Of course, I didn't say all such weapons would have to wait multiple orbits. The point still stand though that if you had a string of weapons in such an orbit, only a very small minority of them would be over the target area and ready to strike at any given time and they have terrible cross-range characteristics. Also Molniya orbits have quite long orbital periods, exacerbating the problem. The vast majority would have much longer strike times than surface based missiles. It only really makes sense to use orbital missiles if you deploy them as a swarm for a first strike.
> While it makes sense in theory, I think there are some practical problems that would have to be addressed before such a system could be put into use. For example, what stops a company with a large bankroll from squashing competitors by purchasing their domain?

They don't have to sell if the offer sucks.
I understand that, but honestly, picking a comic among 10000 or 100000 titles isn't really a different experience for me, in both cases the number is "enough".

Having a knowledgeable shopkeeper to talk with on the other hand is really a fantastic experience for me !

I would consider voting for a politician with a platform of eliminating phenylephrine and making it easier to obtain pseudoephedrine, i.e. not having to get it from behind a counter while showing ID and signing a logbook. Although perhaps I'm naive about the seriousness of the methamphetamine epidemic and the positive impact the additional restrictions have had to society.
December-April, I check a few times a day and different sources for snow/ice since I do not feel comfortable driving and getting caught in it. The number of times increases especially if I'm traveling. So when you time-average this over the year, it makes more sense.
>> The device, described on 31 January in Science1, works like a computed tomography (CT) scan in reverse, explains Hayden Taylor, an electrical engineer at the University of California, Berkeley.

I have been wondering if something like that was possible. I've also wondered if something more akin to holography could be used to create a 3D interference pattern in a liquid to create an object. Both seem like they'd be interesting and have limitations.

From the comments here I think some folks don't realize the mathematical details involved in this - they are not projecting a "picture" of the object from each angle going around. Yes, it's an image, but not it's not what you'd expect. It's more akin to an x-ray of the object, and probably with some extra processing beyond that.

EDIT: Looks like I'm wrong. It says the create an image of what the object would look like from each angle. I believe that means their quality is lower than it could be had they actually used more sophisticated methods to create the images.
It doesn't work, it's very slow to fetch information because you have to send multiple requests, often times hundreds, and have to heavily cache everything to even get near the acceptable performance levels.
Parallel Collectors for Java Stream API
The idea is that if I'm a startup that owns google-disruptor.com, I have to declare a value for that domain name (let's say $100,000), and pay a percentage of that value as a tax. I'm then obligated to sell the domain to anyone who is willing to pay $100,000. This prevents me from undervaluing the domain.

Since Google has a much larger bankroll than me, they can purchase the domain for $100,000, and revalue the domain at $500,000 -- out of my price range.

> First of all, universities are not per se linked to the scientific method as we understand it nowadays.

Yes, that’s kind of my point: The introduction of the scientific method fundamentally changed research, and Universities as institutions. In fact, this dramatic change really cannot be overstated. Your comment appears to underestimate its importance.

> Also, assuming that the scientific method is the only valid way to achieve knowledge completely ignores almost everything that is not a natural science.

Again, kind of my point. It’s not the only valid way (though it’s the best general way we’ve discovered so far, and there are reasons to assume that it the best possible general way; and, importantly, it’s not restricted to natural science).

(I forgot to say, thanks for the book recommendation. I’ll check it out.)

I don’t think that’s painful at all. Yes you define it as a root class, with dependent classes as needed. This is the contract. It needs to be defined somehow, and IMO this is as good a way as any.

From there on you just use JSON.NET to convert your JSON-string to an instance of the root type, literally one line of code.

And after that you get code-completion and type-inference and compile-time checking for all data-object access.

It’s an absolute no-brainer.
Exactly. The justice system has prisons, or fines. Looking for ways to hurt individuals on top of that is mob mentality. Oh he has a job, lets put pressure on the employer. Oh he has sponsors on social media - lets contact those.
Right, but in this case we're talking about louis CK, not a felon, recieved no jail time for sexually assaulting people. Should the origanizations who did not hire him be charged? Should it be illegal to crow 'how dare XXX company hire lous CK' on Twitter or the general blogosphere?

I'm trying to understand your exact point that there should be laws against this phenomenon where someone has been designated a pariah. Who should be punished, and for what behaviors should they be punished for, and what is the appropriate punishment for it?

Every bookstore I know and regularly go too has a online shop too. I can order there and go pick up my order in the store and pay in cash.

The problem with the large catalog on sites like Amazon is that it's impossible (at least for me) to sort through it if you are just browsing. If I'm in a bookstore I always find new and interesting books that I end up buying and enjoying.

I somewhat agree with this short article, with the exception of the 'Prestige' portion.

"Certainly there is some level of prestige that comes with having a degree. This comes from the level of communication required to simply navigate a degree. Also it is, in a way, a validation stamp that says… “Yes - you have the skills to be a Software developer”."

You can hold yourself in high esteem for completing a degree, but as we are all aware, having a degree does not guarantee you a job.

I think between a person with a degree, and someone completely self taught, the degree holder may have a better chance at procuring a job, but what will really get you a leg up is forming habits that make you successful in both facets.

I do not have a degree, and I've won out opportunities against diploma holders, but I know when I see someone who is classically trained, and exercises effort to continue through self-teaching.

I do not believe these are two means that are at odds each other, but two complimentary ideas.

A better article may have been

The book price is fixed by the editor/publisher (I'm sorry, I'm not sure of the correct english word for "éditeur" in french), and all resellers have to sell it at this price.

To allow bookshops to do a margin, they have a specific different agreement with editors. I _think that in general they pay a yearly flat fee to editors (in the tens of thousands of euros) and then get the books at a lower price. If they sell enough copies, they end up a profit.
If Hacker News was submitted to Hacker News it would be ridiculed for many of the reasons it otherwise gets praised for - the archaic layout, poor typography, inconsistent navigation, lack of features, and especially having a badly designed API.

Let's just be honest, bad design is bad design. No slight to PG or anyone working on the site now, and the fact that HN uses flat files rather than a relational database probably limits the API's capabilities in ways that wouldn't be worth the effort of changing. But it's still bad. People just accept it here because they fear anything better might attract the normies.
In India, my generation grew up on Tintin, Asterix, Archie comics, Phantom, Mandrake, Superman, Spiderman etc. and local indian comics dealing with Indian freedom fighters and leaders and indian mythology.

Somehow I still prefer those kind of comics and korean / japanese comics than those by DC / Marvel (they look technically marvellous, with their computer graphics, but still pale compared to the non-US ones).

Pretty much -- for example, I had definitely spent 10k hours each studying biology, chemistry and computer science by the time I reached age 21.

But, all this thinking is in my experience pretty useless in terms of real world results (and I don't mean results like Stanford idolizing you). You're not going to "think" your way into curing cancer no matter how many hours of biology or chemistry you take, and I should know, because I've seen people try. It's pretty hard to "think" up a company the size of Amazon, too, especially in a world where a lot of industry have their Amazon. You need capital and a degree of self-confidence bordering on manic delusion and when you have this you still need to not do what Elizabeth Holmes did and know when you've failed and give up what may have been ten or twenty years or a lifetime and start something else.

It's not the 100k hours. It's the very large odds they will have been for nothing, and picking up whatever is left of your life after.

I stopped paying for news because they are biased (one sided like others mentioned in this post), they are shallow, narrow, and lazy. Most news outlets now simply spin a news report from the same single source. So I don’t see why I should pay someone who is not really doing anything, and whatever it is doing, it isn’t good.
Great piece. To me, the strongest argument is that too often pieces of art are made by dozens to hundreds of artists, and we'll punish along the hundreds of innocents to get to the presumed guilty.

I worked outside every day for 4 years at least. Weather forecasts are so unreliable I stopped listening. I had better luck trying to figure out if i'd need rain gear in a day by just waking up and looking out the window in the morning than looking up or listening to a weather forecast.

You really start to notice how wrong they are when you spend every day outside. I don't notice any more working inside again. But when you rely on weather forecasts everyday to figure out how miserable you're going to be in a day...you really notice..they might as well just be making things up half the time.

The important bit here is that, they will remain individual applications, with a unified underlying architecture.

It is a smart move, internally, to leverage a single framework for dealing with similar services. Less training, and greater lateral agility for employees. Developing a new feature for Whatsapp, and need some extra man power? Shift some workers off one of your other messenger services. Right now that may not be possible.

I decline to believe at this point that there is another corporate reason other than that.
Another problem with that example, at least for me, is that it is not apparent who is looking at who. It's a two dimensional photo and the depth of field is enough that you can't really tell which cop the miner is looking at.

The responses below are kind of funny. The government already runs key infrastructure. I'm not sure if the argument is government vs. Corp. Frankly governments are more likely to consider public interest than corps are. That's not to say that they always do, but corps almost never do. This is why government sells things like spectrum or land for railways if they don't own the rail themselves. They also own things like roads. It's important to realise that there is no incorruptible institution in the world. Maybe domain name management is actually a great use case for blockchain or some other truly democratic distributed accounting/ledger system.
Oh really? Will it stop fake news about the Covington Highschool kids? Sure, they were no angels, but most articles were simply wrong for stating they harassed the native american guy. He went into their crowd. Furthermore, the black israelistes were completely ignored, even though they said the most horrendous thigns that entire day.
I think you're right that the law preserved the original culture indeed, not that it created one. I must confess that even as a moderate hobbyist, I don't know more than a couple of german authors.
We definitely did have our antennas in the same market (DMA) as our subscribers, and went to great lengths to prevent customers from streaming when outside of their home market, as we felt that approach best complied with existing law.
Totally agree about these articles.

An even more unnerving example than Cosby from the "they were always a creep" files is Jimmy Saville, the British radio and television personality who was "later revealed to be" a serial sex abuser of virtually any sort of bipedal mammal.

Go watch some of that guy's old interviews and TV shows. It was stupidly obvious that he was a creep. He radiated it. I find it impossible to believe that anyone actually working with that guy didn't know.

Saville had charisma and used it to raise a lot of money for various people. It's obvious that people just looked the other way while he raped women and children for years.
What defines a top-tier, open source music player for Linux?
Picture quality is pretty low, but the current generation of 'pirate' on-demand and archived streaming services mean I can, in a pinch, watch anything I want to. And in the case of archived material, without commercials. And if I use a sketchy paid app on my Android TV device, I can get things in HD.

I mention this not to promote piracy but to suggest that the 'Spotify-ication' of video seems enevitable. Netflix is great, but the new order is starting to carry the same baggage as cable: $15 for this, $19 for that, every month, until I feel economic pressure to install a VPN and find things for free. This is the same phenomenon that made the previous generation of pirate sources so popular.
I'm sure there are some people who can make it work, but my intent was to point out that it seems impossible to make it work for the vast majority. I would be interested in seeing how the normal political issues of a family are worked out between even more "chiefs". In a two person household, this is not too hard, as one person can yield to the other sometimes and vice versa, but I don't see many organizations functioning without some sort of hierarchy system.

The examples of GuiLite and those of Littlevgi (posted in this thread) all look a little outdated and messy.

And I can understand this. Most programmers aren't designers.

But if you know why it looks outdated and messy it can help to create better looking products.

The reasons are: lack of alignment and padding / font sizes all over the place.

To make your product look good there are simple tricks you can use:

* Only use one size of padding (and multiplications of it).
* Align your items horizontal and vertical.
* Try to use one font family and maybe only 3 font sizes.

The above is why frameworks like Bootstrap work. They are all about alignment and consistent use of space.

More fake than induce without the disordered thinking that comes along with it. Normal people can hallucinate under stress to some degree and it can be shockingly subtle and non-disruptive. Like thinking their downstairs neighbor is being noisy but it turns out they were away on vacation.

Interestingly the tone of hallucinations is very culturally shaped - western ones tend to be more negative.

Artists with schizophrenia tend to produce interesting degrees of abstraction which seems to be "accidental" as opposed to deliberate. Interesting but sad of course.
