Reading the clipboard is a security risk. Reading the clipboard without having a user initiated paste seems like it shouldn't ever be possible (not suere whether that is what the option does).

In this case, what I'd like as a user option is to be able to say "Don't copy via app-specific code", i.e. "don't run the js event to let the page populate the clipboard, instead inspect the selection and if there is a text selection then copy that as plaintext, else copy nothing".

An alternative "prompt when the app tries to subscribe to the copy event" could also work. If I select a shape in an online diagram editor and the app says "can I please put my app-specific markup on the clipboard" then I say yes, because I understand there is now way copy paste works otherwise. And on a page when I have text selected, I can say no, and I get the default plaintext copy.

Some apps have this as 2 different functions for a formatted copy/paste vs. raw text copy paste. If browsers had a "copy text" context menu item that copied the raw selection without invoking the js 'copy' event, that would work too.
We do have more people talking this way. The other people aren't listening.

Society might benefit from peaceful pursuits in the long run (and individuals will in the present), but people with piles of money will make bigger piles of money from war in the short run.

Alternatively, call a utility that can read the clipboard directly. For Xorg:

:r! xsel -b

For Wayland:

The general rule of thumb is that the radiation in the fallout from a bomb goes down by a factor of 10 for every factor of 7 the time since the detonation increases. So it's 10 times less radioactive after a week as it was after a day. 100 times after a month and a half, 1000 times less after a year, etc.

Under the linear-no-threshold dose model we'd expect several death from fallout induced cancer per test. But on the other hand we know that the linear-no-threshold model is false. If you give some fruit flies a 50 REM dose of xrays all at once they get cancer. If you give them 50 REMs spread out over the course of a month they don't. But we don't really know what the actual model is very well so that's not a risk I'd be happy to take.
I don't think many people have the capabilities to "dig deep" on microprocessor architecture with a sparring partner like Jim Keller. And the bulk of the audience probably doesn't have the capabilities to understand such a discussion anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I wish they'd talked about deeper details, but that's more like wishing for a Jim Keller book than a realistic interview for a fairly broad audience.
I had a Sun 3/60, then later on a SparcStation 10 (bought them both used back in the 90's.) I loved Sun equipment. Never played around wit a Sun 2 but sounds fun.

In my experience the better the picture(s) the higher the open rate. That is why art related newsletters have the highest open rate numbers. I worked at an art gallery once and we had a phenomenal 12% open rate for our emails which were purely informative.

Other than that, you should consider the option of clearing your recipient list every once a while. People who haven't opened a single email in a course of a year (or less) should be removed.

One trick that some e-commerce sites do is to send different emails to users depending on their purchasing history. Depending on your industry this may or may not apply.
Name and shame. I'll start:

American Express passwords are not case sensitive.

It is possible that they UPPER(...) the password before hashing it and then compare against that when you log in. This explanation would only be a little dumb because it reduces the domain of the password space. It also strains credulity.
If FB is addictive then you need the medical community in on this, but the fact that they aren’t means you’re left alone making medical arguments about the affects of FB. Maybe my speech, this very one, is designed to give you the flu. But when we’re talking stakes like serious medical claims, then we should have serious medical consensus.
Hey everyone, I thought maybe it can be interesting for some oof you, I know there are a lot of aspiring developers here who want to know what’s it like being a CTO.
Yea GPT2 requires a bit more ram than on the 10 or 20 aeries TI cards .

My point I think was unclear was the issue of reproducing the paper from scratch (I guess the model is enough ?) not sure how those papers are peer reviewed unless they also send the dataset to the reviewers ?

I also was unclear was when I said reproducing I mean to just get a model that has already been pretrained. I agree with your points .
The argument to do it is it democratizes users with their scripts around the world (and solve the issue of having 'the wrong' quote). Normalization solves the latter. It's really solved, but you would never know if you live exclusively on the command line. Which I think is unfortunate.
isn't that an input problem not an output problem? Is it giving you the quotes directly from the ebook or is it converting them on copy-paste? I'd assume there was a bug on the input side, that some tool wrongly converted `printf("Hello World")` to `printf(“Hello World”)` so what's in the ebook is wrong already. If so the issue is further up the chain.

Well we all work with data scientists and can firmly attest this is just false.

You cannot, but with the two forks you can see that someone tried to tamper with the signature of a given video as there will be conflicting signatures. That alone can make tampering unattractive for an adversary.
I don't recall seeing anything in the article about experts being asked if the videos are legitimate. I think very few people question that the videos are real because the DoD has confirmed them and isn't thought to be in the habit of producing fake videos.

I think the experts were asked if the objects in the videos might be conventional aircraft. There is still some discussion going on with regards to that point, but the Navy says they consider the objects "unidentified".
Rust completely dropped GC support in 0.12 — which was released on 9th October, 2014. That happened more than 5 years ago.
If you want to pass rich text or spreadsheet cell formulae, display those before selecting. Which puts the onus on the application to provide that functionality.

That preserves the functionality, respects the "copy visibly-selected content" directive, and makes clear just what is being saved to the clipboard, making sneak attacks more difficult.

Argument that the clipboard behaves in a way that is demonstrably prone to malicious attack is simply argument from tradition. Yes, that's how things have been done. We're discovering that how things have been done leads to strongly negative consequences.
When I studied mechanical engineering we had one semester about finite elements. It was really fascinating to take some simple physical rules, set up some matrices, calculate them and have the result then be reproducible in the real world. It drove home to me the power of computing.
That's easy: subjective experience.
You say that like it's not a good thing to do? If you pull a library into your project, you're taking responsibility for that library, for better and worse.

Very interesting thanks for sharing. initially I was surprised that HubSpot didn’t make the list, until I realized that there is a nice intersection here with what you observed and the target businesses of the Email services.

For example MailChimp Targets small B2C companies while Hubspot targets small B2B business.

I’m guessing the op isn’t a small B2B business hence the lack of hubspot in the list.
I think you're prematurely jumping to the defense of this bank. What we do know is that the customer service rep was able to read the user's password in plaintext. Even if there is a "legitimate" reason for storing in a retrievable format (probably due to compatibility with legacy systems) the fact that the customer service rep could access that password tells me they do not have appropriate access control.
Would you mind posting it? Or at least a link? I'm not sure where the original repo is and github doesn't allow sorting commits by date.
But against an arbitrary background?

I’ve seen real-time background removal for video and for still photos, but never gets it perfect. Too many artifacts.

That’s why the green screen is still utilized.
And how are you going to force browsers to do that, if not through regulation?

What about mobile apps? Gotta get OS makers in that too. Put Google and Apple and all the Android variations there.

Plus there’s FB own devices, like Portal and HTC First.

> I'm still not totally sure I understand what universal algebra studies now. Is it something akin to category theory?

Sort of, in the sense that it’s more general.

You might study category theory, prove some theorems, and then apply those theorems to a specific category, like Grp (which is the category of groups). In category theory, you will prove the theory using “objects” and “morphisms” which are called “groups” and “homomorphisms” inside Grp.

The same thing applies to universal algebra. You might prove some theorem in universal algebra, about algebraic structures in general, and then apply that proof to some specific algebraic structure, like algebras or groups.

(And from a practical perspective… you might actually write the proof for a specific object first, and then e.g. generalize your group theory proof into a universal algebra proof.)
I'm talking about how that's completely not feasible anymore because of how every project has dependencies upon dependencies upon dependencies because the general development attitude has shifted towards "import a single library that tells you if a number is odd, and another library to tell you if one is even"
It's good to see these smaller gaming keyboards getting more common. I never got why people who play low mouse-sensitivity games like CS:GO use full-size keyboards that limit the space they have available for a big mousepad.

An imo more interesting ergonomic gaming keyboard is the Azeron [1]. It's based on the old DataHand keyboards (which were way ahead of their time) and I hope that this kind of ergonomic layout becomes more common. I don't own one myself (I use a HHKB Pro 2), but not having to move your hands at all when typing seems pretty comfortable.

I've somewhat ironically found that the performance of my VR rig improves the more keyboard/mouse drivers I shut down. The throughput required for the index controllers and headset is pretty high, and when combined with mouse and keyboard drivers some game frameworks can experience terrible stuttering.
Maybe. What helps more is 1) indoor smoking bans, stopping people from smoking socially inside bars and restaurants, 2) heavy taxation, 3) vaping.

Although this seems intuitive, it’s not true for all epidemics.

The 1918 flu disproportionately killed healthy young adults. Why? Their immune systems reacted more strongly to the flu. But the immune reaction (fever and phlegm) was so strong that it ultimately ended up killing the patients before the pathogens.

Can you explain what you mean with "describe my own password to me".

As other point out: maybe they store some things about your password like "has four digits, starts with an S".

This does not mean they store your password in plain text.

Everybody here starts shaming and naming but be very careful with that. Before you know it you shame a company while there is nothing going on.

You're taking my sentence a bit too literally there. Take it as a heuristic, not as a formal definition.

We are all addicted to something or the other. There are people who spend insane amount of time on HN (including me) - sure it is billion times better than FB, but it is still an addiction.

This is one of those things where no amount of regulation or blaming FB (or instagram or twitter or HN or whatever) is going to help much. It might be more fruitful to think about why people spend so much time online outside of productive work, instead of having person to person interactions, playing sports, playing music etc. Just a small example - there is not a single park within 10 miles of where I live, but there are at least 3 big malls (sprawling ones with dozens of stores).
The stuff users can't see matters too
I believe the idea is that if you're editing questions early on you learn what the expectation for edits are. I reject a lot of edits in the system for being edits that should be submitted as their own answers or as comments to the post they're editing. Ideally, once a user has gone through the system for long enough and had enough edits rejected for improper use of the system they'll know what to do once they reach the higher rep threshhold.

In practice however???

The system works well for fast and easy. A system like StackOverflow will never work well for highly specialized tasks and that's alright.
Competitors OneWeb are using the same technology and have been more open about their user terminals. They claim $15 for a ~256-element phased array antenna: https://spacenews.com/wyler-claims-breakthrough-in-low-cost-...

Even if off by an order of magnitude, that's well within the price range of consumer terminals.
I know a coworker whose cloudformation code I have had to fix multiple times because they've done just that. Googled "how to do $problem" then skimmed over the first result and copied the code from it.

I'm not a gamer so I'm having a hard time visualizing how this thing is intended to be used. Is this for your left hand?

[UPDATE] Based on a link in another comment I went to this site:

https://www.azeron.eu/

It's really weird. Every image shows a device that looks like it is intended to be used with your left hand, except for one tiny image of someone actually using the thing. In that image, they are using it with their right hand, and the device in that image looks like a mirror image of every other image on the page. WTF?
Razer Synapse has been responsible for a variety of odd problems. Just myself I've had it mess with Bluetooth connectivity and screen autorotation.
All major telecos in Spain do the same. One of the largest asks you to set up only a 6-digit PIN to access the customer portal and no 2FA. They send you your PIN by SMS as a confirmation. All your invoices (with the details of the numbers you called) as well as other personal details, are "protected" by a 6-digit PIN. I want to think they have other protection mechanisms in place, but I seriously doubt it.

One (devastatingly bad) way to do that is to store hashed subsets of your password string, say the first and second half, and if one matches then your new password is considered too similar to the old password

Note that this demolishes the security protection of hashing because brute forcing two (n/2) length password hashes is much easier than brute forcing a length n password hash.
Just use a text file. I once wasted one year creating some such thing: https://github.com/LibreTask/website/blob/master/public/imag...
A password should be considered a user secret and never be available in readable form by anyone in the company. Here, instead of having a rep reading out loud the password, they should have done a password reset or something with the same effect.

And let's not kid ourselves: if passwords are accessible in readable form they are eventually going to be read and used by someone ill-intentioned. There is no reason to have passwords in plain text, period.

Because the forklift driver isn't a specialist position that they will try to undercut by using the tool. If you need a full data scientists without the tool, maybe a fresh junior developer can do the same with the tool. It won't work, but that doesn't help the data scientist was was replaced along the way. Eventually knowledge builds up as to what sort of skills are needed even with that tool, but until that happens there is a chance the tool was oversold and that will result in either higher demands on the employee, an attempt to replace them, or something of that nature such less budget when growing the team.
Good article. I think a lot of times, including with myself, design is used as a "hack" to somehow skips steps. It's not like IDEO had to design the whole mac, or design how the FIRST mouse would work, or the wiring, or the bluetooth. They had these tools and had to put them together, with already. If there is a goal way too far out and "design" is supposed to get you there, I would guess there will be a lot of speedbumps on the way.

Was the iPhone design thought largely out of thin air? Or was it brought about by people who understood and worked the the technology for years and that is what drove the design focus?

-And such routines are incredibly efficient; while commissioning one of our deliveries (heavy engineering equipment) in Namibia a few years ago, I found that the local power electronics distributor hadn't heard of my employer, and were (reasonably so) reluctant to hand over parts for $13,000 or so and send an invoice to Norway.

VISA to the rescue, and as we hauled the parts into the car to bring them down to the dock, my phone rings - VISA on the line, asking if I had happened to use my credit card in Namibia a few minutes ago, definitely expecting a 'No!!!!'.

When I hear "legacy application", I basically assume the framework used is outdated/unsupported. That's my point, you can't incrementally rewrite that because you'd be rebuilding on a burning platform.

Example - you wrote your app in a custom PHP using PHP 5.6 and you're doing a rewrite in PHP v7 in Laravel.
