Technically the FIDO device ("USB key") doesn't get told the domain name. The browser throws it into a compression function with the random values and a bunch of other stuff to compute a value the server also will be able to calculate for itself. Your key has no idea what facebook.com is, doesn't care.

The FIDO device is impressively dumb on purpose, makes it hard to attack. Given an input and a hardware user interaction it responds, cheap ones aren't storing anything or doing any conditional work, and the interaction means you can't do any sort of brute force attack - if you somehow RCE the browser and prompt the user "please press the button a million times" they're going to report that as a bug and close the browser.
You need to control the airspace to be successful in war and in order to do that you need to be able to project your power across seas so that the fight is on their doorstep not ours. The carriers are there to make sure that if someone wants to cross the ocean with ill intent, they can deny them the airspace far out at sea making them struggle to even get to the country they seek to attack. The US always prefers to play an away game.

Also, don't forget carriers are never alone and surrounded by multiple aegis guided missile cruisers which are the most accurate missile defense systems in existence.
So I was thirteen, and living in England when that came out. They advertised it on TV with the shot of the woman pissing herself in the middle of the high street. I was really, quite concerned about nuclear war for really quite some time.
There's probably a lot of things where the extra years of experience over a certain number doesn't matter much anymore. I don't think you can learn as much about many things in the second five years as you did in the first. Other factors then play a much bigger role anyway, such as: did you use whatever you claim experience in once a week or all the time.

1) don't build new reactors using 60-year old technology(even though that technology has proven safe after the major issue was rectified after Chernobyl)

2) don't build reactors in areas threatened by tsunamis and earthquakes. Germany is safe from both, so using Chernobyl and Fukushima to justify shutting down reactors in Germany, or even worse, stop construction of new ones, is borderline insane.

Why? Economically nuclear might make more sense (although one can doubt that). But on a pure material level - ignoring that in captialism, we allocate resources by money etc. - wind and solar are in almost all ways superior. The one problem is 24/7 availability.

Ceteris paribus - everything else left unchanged - yes, it might make sense to build more nuclear. But what we really need is to build more renewables and to simultaneously scale down our energy use. To put it bluntly our energy using industry has to take a small hit.

This is one of the things even I as a leftist say the market can solve nicely. Electricity can get more expensive at night or when the wind doesn't blow. If it becomes uneconomical to do a certain business, then we should stop doing it, or only do it at certain times.

To put it differently, industry works like a buffered solution in chemistry. Put in more acid, and the buffering prevents the PH value from dropping. Shut down power plants, and the market will largely absorb the effect. Things will become marginally more expensive, or production will move to other regions where it makes more sense, but we will not have blackouts like some people fear.
in germany we do not have a long term storage solution that can safely withstand over 1000s of years for nuclear waste.

also capitalisem will always makes the safest nuclear power plant unsafe.

Why Python is so much fragile?
Python works on every machine but every time you pack some lines of code and release them in public, either through GitHub or pip, many users will stumble upon various bugs that will drive them crazy. I have basic Python knowledge but every time Im trying to install various packages from other devs I always come across at critical bugs and sometimes I rage quit. Javascript considered unstable language but I never experienced anything similar to Python (even on modules that have bindings). Based on years of system administration and testing I've done on both platforms (Linux and Windows) on the 100 modules I install in Python almost half of them fail and I have to start troubleshooting, compared to 5-10 in every 100 Javascript modules.
It's not about age, but experience, if we have seen the situation before and the outcomes.

CTF contests are usually designed to serve as an educational exercise to give participants experience in securing a machine, as well as conducting and reacting to the sort of attacks found in the real world (i.e., bug bounty programs in professional settings).
What do you mean by fragile?

I agree that it's a shit job, but I don't understand how that should make shitty behavior okay. With the power that's given to you as a police officer, the expectation simply must be that you don't misuse that power. Everything else is unacceptable, since you're the person enforcing the law. Who's gonna hold you accountable?

Yup. I've already moved to Firefox, using containers, ublock origin and auto-cookie-clear.
Also moved away from Google to DDG. I HATE the stupid name, it's slow, and sometimes I still have to use the !g thing, but overall it's decent.
Fair enough I don’t know all the cases.

Could you tell me how you would have done it? To hold those protesters with a limited amount of policemen?
You say “caught red handed” and other accusatory statements. The article says they had announced how (encrypted, anonymised) and why (to provide more accurate location information to users) before it was “discovered”.

It doesn’t really appear to be very nefarious, nor an advertising issue. Maybe an unintentional or neglectful privacy issue at worst, in the case of an already-stolen phone.
The point here is that the senior professionals don’t have the option to choose as employers are not recruiting more senior professionals, not just because of their salary expectations. They are not even attracting them to their open roles.

I'd say, good for you for not blaming it on age discrimination. Hiring is complex enough (and broken enough) to sometimes not get hired, even if you think it was a perfect match. Sometimes it isn't a match, to no blame on either side. I'm not dismissing the serious problem of ageism, just saying there's still plenty other reasons for rejections too.
Why would they storm a mine where poor people work in hazardous and exhausting conditions? Do they not know that the company owning the mine is headquartered in Essen, where the top-level managers responsible for this actually work? (The company, RWE AG, has a 14 billion euros market cap and is not even mentionned in the article, good reporting BBC!)
> But what we really need is to build more renewables and to simultaneously scale down our energy use. To put it bluntly our energy using industry has to take a small hit.

This is why the Green parties in a lot of countries need to be politically opposed. They attract people who care less about the environment than about changing our way of life.

Case in point: in Antwerp they're about to spend a cool billion to put a roof on the ring road, to put some plant pots and bicycle paths there.
Humanity have time and time again proven they can't handle the responsibilities that come with nuclear. An 'I wash my hands and walk away, or even better, make a profit of the cleanup when it all goes wrong' neo-liberal market economy that skirts all the dangers 'by design' is a fatal compounding factor.
When I was in high school their Amiga would cold boot into a GUI within 3 seconds. It was the same for the Acorn Archimedes in the UK. These computers had the entire GUI OS burnt into the ROM. After that I remember the shock or getting a 386 and waiting minutes for Windows 95 to load. It was like the future had died and was buried by a conspiracy of silence in the industry.
That deal was signed by Annastacia Palaszczuk, the State Labour premier, not the federal government.
Many paths to follow here. However, one thing that may help is to decide whether which platform you want to start with. Something like the ever popular Pi and friends, or a lower powered platform such as Ardurino. Each platform will need a different approach due to its available resources.
I still can't find an alternative to Chrome's Dev console, especially for responsive design testing.

Firefox's version is alright at the moment, but not nearly as polished.
They denied they had it then, too. They deny it now. Seems like the "deal" was just to get their foreign accounts unblocked. I'm curious how you'll explain away their ballistic missile development and testing.

That's what happens when languages like English adopt the foreign pronunciation of words instead of the English pronunciation. Now everything is an edge case and you can't be sure of the pronunciation even if it's an English word.
Best of the lot is Safari if you are on an Apple device.
For what it's worth - I am a 52 year old programmer, and see ageism rampant in the industry where I am.

I'm the sort of guy who held off wearing glasses for about 2 years because I didn't want to seem "old", but I wholeheartedly embrace a community like this job board where I don't have to second guess whether I will make it past round one because my birth year predates man walking on the moon.

Programmers love short cuts. Older programmers are wise enough to see this as another way to bypass all those crappy hurdles that younger orientated startups will put in our way, IMO.
The title doesn't give enough credit. This company is the paragon of experimentation.
I also ported a C++/QT app to a Python/Pyside2 app. Main reasons were that the original app was badly written and the team knew Python better than C++. This was quite straightforward, only difficulty was in trying to mix QThreads and Python Threads (basically: don't).
Well yeah ok, if a couple of frontend developers use this as a valuable, okay, granted.

Much worse, it shares browsing data, including full URL history, with third parties. https://blog.mozilla.org/press-uk/2017/10/06/testing-cliqz-i...
That is a shockingly biased and simplistic comparison. Sort of like deciding on the answer and picking a few “facts” to support it.
Obviously if you shut fossil plants and import fossil energy that’s a failure.

I don’t understand why “jobs” is even a part of the discussion here. What percentage of the workforce is in fossil energy production? Has to be tiny.
StGb 113 is "resistance to state power" (literally translated) and StGb 114 seems to go into the similar direction. If you don't hurt the police, to my knowledge it's legal to run away from them if you don't damage anything/don't do harm to anyone - which might be also a peculiar exception - but maybe also emphasises how smart it is to be non-violent.
Good to see them squirm I guess, that's how you know adblocking is sound tool for fighting back

Dear Firefox implement tab to search already. Yes you can do ‘similar’ things with ! but it’s really not the same. So many Chrome users staying for this feature. Solve it already.
I agree, I am just wondering when power starts to become misused from the legal point of view, because if you put yourself in those shoes you will understand that they are humans like me and you trying to enforce laws upon people that don’t give a damn about those laws. I really don’t doubt that there are bad apples abusing their power, and in some cases it’s really like that, however if you look at the overall, these policemen are often laughed at and insulted, or even hit. And what’s the payment for it? You mentioned that they increased the sentence to 3 years. Sure, when? Considering that prisons are full and that with a good lawyer you can get away with it fast.
The "jobs" argument is a common myth. There are very little jobs in this industry (around 10000). In comparison, the German government has destroyed several times that amount by recently removing subsidies from solar power development (coal is still subsidized).
It'd be pretty bad if Siri took some nearby conversation out of context and SWATted you.
Further Microsoft killed Nokia's MeeGo OS in favor of Windows Phone OS, MeeGo was far capable than Android was at that time. Now telling that 'We should have done Android' sounds like convenient amnesia to put it lightly.

They wouldn't have done it for nothing. If there's any truth in it, presumably it would have been part of a wider US attack, which Trump supposedly called off at the last minute.

Don't know how the rest of facts check out, but Chernobyl is in Ukraine not in Russia.
Yep the problem is the "hurting" part. A common medium of demonstration in Germany, historically, has been the Sitzblockade (people sitting down blocking eg a road). Now, resisting when the police tries to clear up such a Blockade quickly gets you into stgb art. 113 territory, in the current state of affairs. I expect the same to happen to many of the protesters mentioned in the article.

Edit: to be clear, I'm not saying one should attack the police. I'm saying an "attack on the police" should be extremely well defined, since otherwise people can be charged with it for arbitrary transgressions, which effectively scares people away from necessary protests.
Applying the price mechanism to direct employees use of resources does have all sorts of compelling advantages even if it does introduce some overhead and certain weird pressures. I think the article makes a compelling case.
Where to begin. This article is full of big words and drama. I've been reading through the whitepapers and discussions and there seem to be an awful lot of people reading all sorts of things in this stuff. What worries me is that it mostly is people responding to interpretations rather than the raw facts. Big dramatic outcomes make for awesome blog articles. But that doesn't mean it's the only outcome; or even the likely outcome.

I try to look at this a bit more rationally. Given that blockchains have grown economically in the last few years for reasons that you may or may not agree with philosophically, morally, etc., it is not surprising that existing entities with economic wealth are looking to get in on the action. From this point of view, what Libra is doing is entirely unsurprising.

From a technical point of view, what Facebook is doing with Libra is cherry picking what seems to work in the market. Consensus models seem to work for the likes of Ripple, Stellar and a few others. There are a lot of people who object against this model for all sorts of reasons. But it undeniably works and scales quite well. A system this ambitious needs to scale. It's not optional.

I don't really see how Libra could have picked anything else given the current state of the art. Mining seems a dead end in terms of scalability and off by orders of magnitude from where it needs to be. There are lots of technical issues and even when it works, things like 50% attacks, insane energy consumption, etc. make this a non starter. Ethereum has been trying to switch to proof of stake for some time now and the are also trying to introduce sharding. Maybe this is fixable, but the reality is that they are nowhere close to shipping something that scales by the time Libra intends to open for business.

So, when Facebook decided to do this, building their own platform was a foregone conclusion because what's out there just isn't anywhere near good enough and basing it on consensus algorithms was the only logical choice technically.

The only relevant question is, why is it just Facebook doing this and how long is it going to take for the rest of the world to react? I'm talking about the likes of Google, Apple, banks, the oil industry, anyone with economic resources basically. They'll all want in on the action and not all of them are going to be inventing their own blockchain like platform (using the term loosely here). I doubt they are going to have Facebook have all the fun.

The follow up debate about the legalities and regulations is also going to be interesting. My guess is governments will react slowly and by the time they start making bigger decisions, it will be too late. Once you have a few "too big to fail" type companies doing stuff like this, they are not just going to pull the plug.

So, I expect things will heat up shortly. I think this is a good thing. We need competition of ideas and approaches. If what Libra is doing bothers you, stop whining and do something better. Now is a good time to get started with that.

I thought the same, but on the other hand, these are the things that are usually just "one page" away. This concrete page / blog post doesn't even have a link to the root section where one would seek other posts and categorization you mentioned. This link could probably be safe to include in all pages and consider it "stable", but I don't mind it is not there, I'm used to traverse location using URL bar. I always thought it would be great if such features would be provided by browser natively and "common" users were aware of them, so that "common" pages could remain this gorgeous simple static capsules.
here is a talk about the architecture of a Mars rover: https://media.ccc.de/v/35c3-9783-the_mars_rover_on-board_com...

Boston Dynamics Atlas probably wouldn't survive the journey, nor the radiation, nor the heat swings. Mars rover is specifically designed to do handle crazy unknown failures, that's what makes it complex. Having a complex robot and trying to make it resistant to all those failure modes is simply too difficult for today's engineering.
You'd better come up with some pretty convincing evidence for such allegations. There's nothing even related to your assertion in your link, neither in the "source to link" (that does not support anything the link says, which in its turn does support anything you say).
Sadly gas here means Russia. A lot of people aren't happy about it, since it gives Russia power and more power for Russia is bad for everyone in the world, but especially for Eastern Europe.
There was an agreement the US pulled out of. Which part of that agreement talked about ballistic missiles?
