True, on the other hand there are still 40 million of those tokens out there, which are all compromised and have to be replaced. So that is still very much present tense.
Is this a joke? Navel gazing and patting one's self on the back in one post. This makes it to the front of HN?

I guess he might be on to something. Every philosopher I have ever read has always treated assumptions in a willy-nilly matter. Not to mention any decent legal opinion.

Good security requires critical analysis. The same thing can be said for jurists, inventors, supply-chain logistics...etc.

What a surprise the math guy thought math people have such insight. What's that saying about carpenters and their hammers? At least carpenters don't go around telling everyone that everything is a nail...
Indeed! It was a pleasant surprise, to me at least. I didn't immediately associate a Py IDE with JS dev (I'm a relative late comer to Django and still don't instinctively connect Python to webdev), but since they're my two languages of choice right now, it's ideal.

(and the sass syntax highlighting was also a 'ooh!', as was the automagical git support, as was JetBrains' helpful personal email reply to my filled in questionnaire, as was... well, you get the idea. I'm a happy customer!)

True, but the positive fundamental property of these tokens is that it is very very unlikely that someone ever messes with your device without you knowing it. Which prevents a MITM attack.
What if they downgrade the quality enough? Say the stream it at 486 lines + degraded sound. Perhaps OK for many customers (since it might be equivalent to a degraded quality due to network throughput and latency) but if they can guarantee the quality is low, the owners of the content won't mind relaxing their distribution agreements.

At some point, even they have to realize that if someone really wants to get a pirated version of the content, they probably will, and probably much faster than bothering to setup buffer capture from Netflix.

Another thing they could do is to apply (or at least convince the users) that they applied a user-identifying watermark so if the video is leaked, they would know the source....? I've heard academy award disks have that.

That lawsuit only got started after Microsoft had already lost the Netscape case, where their use of similar techniques was already ruled to be illegal.
Might not be that easy. The DRM should essentially provide protection from the content distributor all they way to the hardware. If they are just play it via the <video> element, users can just scrape that content. With Silverlight or other proprietary drivers on proprietary OSes, they can have an agreement with those company to guarantee the DRM protection gets enforced. Now with open sourced drivers, that is not going to happen easily, as users can just recompile the driver with the DRM check commented out.
Not just Firefox. For a "design" company, they sure have no idea what pretty looks like!
Cost of the bandwidth is one issue. The amount of time it takes to download is another. I have a 4mbps connection but power cuts and fluctuations makes it difficult to do a 4gb download from Apple. Every upgrade of Xcode is a horror. The download stalls in the middle and then fails to re-continue because the session timed out. I have to end up doing some gymnastics by exporting cookies from the browser to a file and then coaxing wget to use that.

I hope they've got a decent pause/resume system on the Mac App Store downloads.

"That way only the owner of the SSL cert can actually use it."

Errrmmm, I'm not entirely sure that's correct - I wonder how many of Sony's private keys are in scriptkiddies hands right now?

The webserver needs access to the private key. Anyone who gets root on the webserver can read the private key.
Yeah, I have an old lightweight Sony with 852/855 and it ran better with Gentoo five years ago than with Maverick today. To get it to work Ubuntu turns off the acceleration so it feels so damn slow. Crossing my fingers.

This is pretty, it's just not functional.
small screen apps often do away with statelessness (one of the basic ideas in the standard windows/icons/menu/pointer world) to organize things in different modes/screens. And there are means for web apps to manage the browser history by setting and querying the hash part of the window's URL.

Most Maemo apps work with a back button in this way (despite not being browser-based). Hiding the address bar still seems to be a good idea, as you only need it when things get broken...

The justification for doing the work mentioned in the article doesn't make any sense, either. They make it sound like users had to go and download a "Netflix Plugin" with their current system and then deal with updates, when in fact Silverlight already works exactly like they describe in the article, with the control getting retrieved from their servers each time (unless it's cached and there's no newer version available).

Third thing I do after a fresh FF install! While you're at it play with "Minimum font size" as well if small fonts have ever bothered you.
Yeah, but if natural numbers are infinite, than there will always be a natural number to map to a real one, therefore they're the same cardinality.

This can be compared to the basic distinction between precision and bias. While noisy and variegated individual biases pitted against each other in good-faith debate can have low "precision", the more pernicious problem is bias, which is what emerges where there is a consistent organizing influence pushing people in a particular direction.

Indeed, it's amazing that the same people who tout most strongly the power of the invisible hand immediately believe that there are other things "far more effective" when the hand's unchecked subtle and consistent influence has negative consequences.

Lastly, the stories of horrendous atrocities caused by misguided-do-gooders are the exceptions that prove the rule -- throughout history, truly horrendous has been the cascade of constant repeated atrocities big and small perpetrated worldwide by people acting in their own (perhaps shortsighted) self-interest at others' expense.
My guess would be that there's very little money in it, and for what money there is (advertising of such events, perhaps), competition is fierce.

But if you've got a good way to disrupt it, go ahead!

Aside from all the goodness and awesomeness that comes with PyCharm, I would like to say I've noticed faster program startup with 1.5 with respect to 1.2.1. So I'm glad features are not the only thing being added with this release.

With respect to the Vim vs PyCharm Discussion. I think Vim is great. It's fast, light, and you can customize the hell of it (if you're patient). With that said PyCharm is also great. After you start it up, it is also fast, and you can also do a whole bunch of customizations. At the end of the day, I'm gonna use the tool that is going make me more productive. For me that tool is PyCharm. Now I know some of you are just as productive on Vim, and more power to you guys. However, I would say it would be reasonable to assume that most of the population (of programmers that is) would be more productive through the extensive set of tools that have been so thoughtfully implemented into PyCharm. So my advice is to use the app that makes you crank out good clean code the fastest. I also recommend for everyone to at least give PyCharm a test drive by using the trial, specially if you are a Django developer.

How to Improve Web Application Security
Although RSA were absolutely at fault it seems like a design failure that the seeds cannot be revoked. Give the keys 4 possible seeds and put 3 of them in a safe. Security is about having defence in depth.

Dinamalar updated the top news every hour which includes top news stories, top headlines news, world top news, top online news, updated top business news,latest news, top sports news and covering virtual tour hindu temples, tamilnadu temples 360 degrees, 360 degree hindu temples
So the seeds are in fact equivalent to a signature made with symmetric keys... If the SecureID card used asymmetric keys with a truly private key, such incident could not have happened.

Using private keys stored in a hardware carried with the owner with a challenge Q&A seems more secure.
Tungle.me is pretty cool although I never ended up using it.

http://www.tungle.me/Home/
Not entirely sure that's correct either. One could use a Hardware Security Module, such as the Thales nShield Connect[1], which will keep the private keys secure (at least in theory).

That is indeed what we did.

My above point (mis-interpreted, since I got voted down) is that an official set of extensions approved the core lua team would help quite a bit in those choices.
Apparently when you code a website on Mac, it matters that Linux has a different process scheduler. PHP rises above all of this, code where you are productive, which for many people is Mac where you have Textmate and others.

I would like an official command line package manager, but I fear the iOS-ifcation will make it impossible to add without being contradictory.
JSON was just an example.

The point is that it would be welcome to have a sanctioned list of common extensions (xml, json, oauth...) from the core team.
Will some people expect some browser chrome? Will some website designers put a back/forward/refresh button on fixed at the top of the screen?
The key difference is that MS _started_ to act like this when they achieved monopoly status, but Apple has behaved, in iOS context, consistently from the very beginning. You cannot demand Apple to allow preloading something when they are monopoly, if they did not allow that _never_ and were all the time very public about mentioned allowance policy.
What alternative do you propose to prevent drug companies from marketing unsafe or ineffective drugs?

Ask HN: How much does it cost to visit San Francisco for three days?
Hey HN,

I've been planning a trip for three days to meet a couple founders, and meetup with some Angel investors in July.

I was curious, how are the hotel rates in San Francisco, near Silicon Valley area?

What other expenses are there, and at average how much do you think a three day trip for two will cost? (transportation, eating out, etc.)
Yup, that's how it works. The point I was making is that that's the only point of vulnerability, there is no way to gain access to every private key from some central point.

For example, let's say you collected a large amount of https traffic by listening in on wifi hotspots or such like, then you attacked a certificate authority and managed to gain access to everything they have. This would be very bad, but you wouldn't be able to decrypt the traffic you'd recorded because you still wouldn't have each of the private keys used. That's very different from the problem of RSA tokens. Gaining access to RSA's servers resulted in compromising every token. Decentralization is often key to security.
Why could the NPAPI not expose a stream that could be consumed by the HTML5 video tag? What if it's part of the new AV proposal Google released?
How do you update the tokens though? They need to be simple, no hooking into the internet.
That is correct. In the case of Sony, Sony's servers were breached not those of their CA.
What's the point of the DRM? Every movie they have has already been pirated. I can't imagine anyone bothering to capture the stream when they could get it so much easier in many other ways.
>The FDA is not underfunded. Its budget has more than doubled from 2006 to 2011:

How much does it need to do its job? Has the amount of work stayed constant between 2006-2011? Was it properly funded in 2006?

Controlling Users' Eye Movement in a Website - How & Why
Despite the fact that designers follow all the principles of a good web design, still there is one area which often goes unnoticed. Here we are talking about the Eye Movement of visitors, also referred to as Visual direction. In a web design, it is the movement of eyes of the visitors while viewing a web page, that is, a pattern which indicates what they notice first and what they come across the last.

Woman in bikini on HN / Comment only on the link's typography
Personally I'm using vim only when I need to edit a separate file (especially on server side) it loads quickly and allow you to quickly fix something, but when I'm working on a project I prefer to use an IDE, it usually has smart code completion, you can find function usages, you can go to function declaration.

From my understanding of it the delta updates are only for the y part of x.y versioning, not whole point upgrades, and only for iOS. OS X already uses delta updaters and has done so for years.

Bridal Couture Week
td;lr There is a lot to this essay, but it is still primarily remembered for one point. Consider the following two sets of prioritizations of important software features:

Do the Right Thing (MIT): correct, consistent, complete, simple interface, simple implementation

Worse is Better (New Jersey): simple implementation, simple interface, correct, consistent, complete

Lisp is prone to follow the MIT school of design, Unix and C follow the New Jersey school of design. The MIT approach is very hard to get right. The worse is better approach results in shipping products that become popular and then will improve. They'll never be as good as the right design would have been, but they tend to win in the market, and eventually will become good enough.

-----

My take is that he is right that the qualities that contribute to software being popular and high quality are different. The factors identified in the essay have not stood the test of time - for instance PHP has become very popular despite being a complex mess - but the underlying point remains. Things that become popular become successful then improve. Things that don't become popular tend to die on the vine. If you look around, examples abound.
