It's not that clear cut unfortunately.

What do you really know about Troy and his service? Really just what he wants you to know.

For example, Troy stores extremely valuable information about millions of people without their consent. A lesbian women in the Arabs, who might have had her credentials breached on a gay forum, who also has a gambling addiction and had her password breached on a gambling website and on another dating website for prostitution services might not want some Aussie guy selling all that information about her to anyone who pays him money. There is nothing, absolutely nothing ethical about this!

My sister does not know anything about Troy, I showed her his Twitter profile and the first things which stood out to her:

- Old man

- Orange skin like Trump

- Loves to show off outdated cars

- Making occasionally snarky comments about Indians, Indonesians and other Asian people, always suggesting that anything illegal is coming from those countries

- Constantly tries to self validate himself by bragging with something expensive he's recently bought in life

- Very capitalistic and money focused individual

It's not great optics for people who have never seen his blog. His blog is just marketing at the end of the day. There is no regulation, no actual organisation or anyone who can be held accountable for gross mishandling of the data.

It's just an old Aussie guy who stores hordes of stolen data on his private laptop and in his private cloud and sells it to other people who clearly gain benefit from collecting that data from his service.

There is trust and naivity, and in this case anyone who doesn't find it slightly dodgy is simply naive. Sorry, but that is the reality.

I work in telecom and we interface with large carriers like AT&T, Verizon, etc. We use headless browsers to automate processes using their 15-year-old admin portals, since the carriers simply refuse to provide an API, or one that works acceptably.

Thankfully they're also so technologically slow that they never change the websites or do any kind of headless detection. Its works, and allows us to offer automated [process] to our customers, but it seems so fragile. Just give us a damn API.
This makes sense if you don't use vim as an IDE, but if you do, configurations and plugins are essential. Of course, you wouldn't expect to have a fully configured jetbrains IDE when you SSH into a remote server, but that doesn't mean you can't use one on your local development machine.
Yep, you got it, checkout the top commment on this thread
I realized why Vim has always felt a little off to me. The primary navigational commands are mostly on the right hand, which as a left handed person feels very weird to me. While Emacs commands favor neither hand (if anything they favor the left with C-f, C-b, C-a, C-e, C-x C-s, M-x, etc). Just a small observation.
Yeah, what the heck, this is the perfect opportunity to pitch your product.

ARDC had administrative control of 44.0.0.0/8 for decades. It's not squatting... It's their space. There aren't enough active Hams in the world to use all of it, so nothing is lost. We'll all benefit more from Amazon and their customers making use of some of it.
It has been nearly impossible to get an allocation from them as a ham, if they even bother responding at all, so i don't buy this. This is an obvious money grab.

Yes, between the finance department and HR you should be able to identify the company that is holding the stocks. Or you can look for old statements identifying them.

You could then contact the firm and say you're trying to dig up an old account.

If it's real, it'll cost you a lot of time on the phone and probably some notarized letters, scanned IDs and such.

There now studies that show it causes less collaboration, especially deep collaboration that requires ability to contemplate and speak freely.

Some of the studies: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.chicagotribune.com/business...
https://www.oxfordeconomics.com/when-the-walls-come-down

Now, imagine you are measuring the collaboration by the amount of meetings and chats/email. Of course these increase if we can no longer chat in your office! Now I have to book time or send you a slack/chat/whatever because having a conversation now requires finding that private space.

So previously unmeasured collaboration is replaced with lower fidelity, but measurable collaboration.

Yes, asking more precise questions will give more nuanced answers. But that doesn't invalidate the vaguer statement - most people do support speech being much more free than restricted, especially in America. That matters: you can't say "ah ha, but sometimes when given extreme examples people have doubt, so banning speech is totally OK". That's not what they said when they were asked.

And by the way, I'm sure I can easily take that person prevaricating because they were given the "calling for you to be murdered" example and bring them back to supporting "radically" free speech. Just ask if they've ever said something like, "Damnit, I'm going to kill that guy!" when they got frustrated or upset. And if the answer is yes, point out that if they're against "other people calling for someone to be murdered" then they'd themselves be in prison. They'd object by saying something like, yes but of course I didn't really mean it, that isn't the same thing at all, and then you ask how anyone could tell and how sure they are they could defend themselves in court, if an enemy was claiming it should be taken seriously.

In the end the reason for "radical" protections for free speech are logical - the consequences of not having it are worse than the consequences for having it. Genuine mob-raising "let's murder this guy" speech is so incredibly rare compared to political suppression it's not worth worrying about.
I use a python library called 'passwordmeter' to check the password 'strength' of tokens. If the token's password strength is high, it's either going to be a password, a hash, a key, or perl (half joking). It's then just a matter of ignoring the false positives - about 95% - but that's not as time consuming as it sounds considering the reward.

Netflix is blatantly user-hostile. The UX is designed to get you to spend more time with Netflix, not to make you like it more.

Many of the shows it suggests to me are not in english, yet the UX rarely discloses this in the description or (infuriatingly auto-playing) preview. Some people don't mind reading subtitles but I detest it - they could at least tell me the show is in German before wasting my time.
The difference is those public parks get used. 44.0.0.0/8 is mostly empty.
I’ve never heard Full Disclosure concepts applied to serving stolen PII in an API.

The reason is that the purpose of full disclosure is to shame the vendor into ensuring the patch is made, and to warn the user base that the attack is possible, while disclosing a flaw in a commercial product.

In this case, we are not effectively doing either naming or shaming by publishing actual email addresses, rather than just user counts and the type of hashing that was performed.

And at the same time the information being “bartered” is private user information and not merely identifying a flaw in a commercial product.

I fail to see how an API into the HIBP database can be justified under the concept of full-disclosure. Particularly when the service could have been implemented as an email report to the queried email address.

The question presupposes that there is a rational _why_ behind the situation a large group of people have gotten themselves into over a period of incremental steps over decades.

It is heresy to say, but of course writing programs primarily as simple text files is ridiculous. It’s also ridiculous that we write web pages in HTML etc rather than using elegant WYSIWYG editors, and that we use LaTeX for designing visual artefacts.

It’s probably possible to explain “why” we got here, but not “why” it’s a good idea, because it isn’t.

I put it down to culture. Programmers are strongly opinionated and resistant to change (eg blub). We’re historically been selected from
a narrow and strange demographic. Which is why few people agree with what seems obvious to an outsider, and why we don’t fix it.

Imagine if engineers built bridges or engines or satellites by writing XML rather than using CAD tools and modelling suites.

I seem to recall nice ideas around Smalltalk’s editor. It should be possibly to have a hybrid approach that can gradually transform programming from text editor into a mixture of maths and high level engineering design.
Ask HN: Open source audio watermarking solutions?
I have been thinking about building a service that will require audio watermarking at some point for ages.

I had a similar experience with Dell XPS 13 and Arch. Everything worked out of the box including touch screen and external dock (monitors, USB). Actually I had the feeling it worked even better than on Windows (where the dock needed some fiddling with USB 3 drivers).

Allowing browsers to query directly would break the terms of engagement specified by the site operator, who specified that a proxy shall be used to concentrate end-user requests for a given paid key. That’s their right as service operator. I can construct plausible scenarios why this is a sensible choice, but the underlying point is that they clearly regardless made that choice after thinking it through.

Then again, nobody really recommends media well. You can't mine the media directly, and people have very different preferences. It's just too many factors that you can't infer from the usage.

> It sounds like you want Netflix to cater specifically to your tastes.

Given that they have the technology to stream any movie ever made to my house, and given the availability of more data about each of us than we probably even know about, is catering specifically to each of our tastes unreasonable? I mean, why do you have the things in your house that you have, if not to cater to your tastes?

The money involved in IPv4 allocations - and name allocations too - really sickens me. It's a blemish on humanity and a testament to the limitless nature of human greed. IANA (and ICANN as a whole) is a corrupt, captured organization that I think represents the worst of the internet when it should have been the best of it. Removing price caps on .org, gold rushing outrageously priced gTLDs to anyone with the money (private corps), and the ridiculous marketplace of IPv4 subnets - I'm ashamed to have anything to do with this community. I'm loathe to extend my contempt to capitalism as a whole but it's crap like this which makes me wonder if the humanity of future centuries will look back at our greed-powered society with disdain.

Honestly because it's easier. Modern scientific computing is actually dominated by C, which powers a lot of the libraries that do the crunching behind the scenes. Python has some fantastic connectors that can bind to C libraries and run computationally-intensive code very close to the machine. This makes the programming behind a lot of scientific computing look more like loading a library and running it with different input variables. This way grad students who are doing computational science but who do not have a background in computer science can get running fairly quickly.

This is exactly what happened with cable. People were told to pay a subscription fee to avoid all the commercials of broadcast television. They got enough subscribers, and began the commercials. Years later and losing 1/3 of a show is the norm.

This is why all 30 min shows only have a 20-22 min runtime. We have all simply come full circle.

Hulu is going the same way with their commercials on my commercial free sub, and the commercials are always on content I'm paying extra for (HBO, Showtime, Starz).

You may consider a meta-streaming service like ReelGood (not affiliated just a happy user). You tell it which streaming services you have, what shows you've liked, etc and it gives you recommendations from across all your services.

Surprisingly, I find myself using Hulu more than all the others combined, including Prime. Hulu's app is so horrendously bad though I consider cancelling as more than 50% of the time it won't load on the first try, and probably 20% of the time it won't load at all on my TV.
Even so, we're left with less space than we had before. To my knowledge the FCC is pretty liberal with dishing out public RF spectrum ranges to private entities, but they're much more conservative with turning over private RF ranges to the public.

Every part of the RF spectrum that the public loses is unlikely to be reclaimed. We have less airspace, permanently.

But then, maybe there was no room. There's no way to believe a random HN comment on such an important issue just on face value.
I think it is a great idea and I see a lot of potential. If any of you have tried any addition/remodeling in the bay area, you know the difficulties involved. It is hard to find reliable people at reasonable cost. This company is bringing scale advantage and that is the only way to make sense of any construction project in the bay area. A friend of mine checked with a few design-build firm for second floor addition. 400$ per square feet is the minimum price. Even to explore the project there is a huge cost upfront without any assurance of success. I think it is a great way for homeowners to get cashflow with minimal risk.

Question to the founder:
Do you see profitability in building or rental or both?

It would be leaving money on the table for the home owner to continue on the contract for 30years. Initially with 0 equity, the owner gets 50% of rent. at year 20, with 50% equity, the owner gets 50% of rent and at year 25 with say 70% equity, the owner still gets 50% rent. From home owners point of view, it is better to buy out sooner rather than later. It is also not hard to get home equity loans.

I think this may be based on how you'd like the people to act.

But from my experience there is situations and places where someone has to look for people and help them to stop their destructive behavior.

In my opinion this problem is connected to the "tragedy of the commons" and maybe some day we (humans) will overcome these flaws but until then they need some leadership, control and sanctions (just like kids and teenagers when they grow up).

Of course there is people who can behave all time when they communicate and who don't leave their trash everywhere they go but I think it's a minority.

While saying this I'm very aware of the fact that I wrote a lot of bad comments myself. Maybe such a system could help people like me, I'd be glad to see it in action to find out.
