Not necessarily. Let's say the salt is a combination of a per-user salt in the database, a per-user salt from a file on disk, and a per-system salt that's entered at the console at startup and held in memory.

A DB compromise doesn't reveal the other 2 salts. A full filesystem image doesn't reveal the third salt. Even an interactive root compromise would need to know to take an image of the running system's memory to get the third salt.
Because Macs are 'gay', and Linux (if the layperson even knows what it is) is 'for nerds'.

Also because Windows is a good operating system in it's own right.
There is a 'Preview (Dense)' variant of the theme which does exactly this. It's still not as dense as before but I'm finding that to be a good thing.

I like this one a lot better than the classic which had way too much intrusive background colour.
Yeah, my mistake. Thanks for pointing it out.
This plus 10. The government projects I've worked on were all like this on a macro and micro level.

The OP was not speaking for a corporation, near as I could tell, but was speaking as a concerned employee. The response from RIMM was equally anonymous, yet it wreaked of the PHB mentality that got RIMM where it is in the first place.
Google+ early reviews: the new software smell
I definitely agree that Circles are better. I don't think they're as good as they could be. I don't think it's that clear for people, even those that are outside the group you cite, where exactly their comments are going. It's discoverable, but it's certainly not immediately obvious. I think privacy usability is really important, you want to make that stuff as easy and intuitive as possible.
Anyone kind enough to send me an invite? My address is in my profile.
Why is Django(-nonrel) a poor choice for GAE?
Try scrolling down. It got me for a few minutes, too.

I don't understand why the map is so huge if all it's doing is showing me what I already know: where I am. There's nothing of use on the map itself.
The groups setup is a brilliant stab at Facebook's handling of privacy issues. I think they're going to make a push to gain ground from Facebook by saying they are taking security seriously from day 1 instead of waiting for something embarrassing to happen.
Why not use client-side certificates to log in? Or at least use a client-side certificate for anyone that works at Mt. Gox.
I think Facebook has had groups for a while - they just aren't exposed that well in the UI. (I don't think I've ever tried to use them, though, so maybe they're different from Circles in some way.)
I can't say whether Google+ will "win", but your comment doesn't address the group video chat feature ("hangouts"). It's easier and better than anything else like it. I think that alone has the potential to get a huge number of people using the site.

Huddle is cool too, but requiring everyone to have an Android phone (and later iPhone) is probably a dealbreaker for most groups.

And i want to get away from this football field of people to a house with many rooms. G+ is the first social network i would consider to add my parents/relatives but i would never do this on facebook it is too open for that. And managing lists on FB is a pain...

Circles is one of the features that will get me away from FB.
And i dont really care about the "cool kidz"

edit: what i forgot we will get away from the auto opt-in google will never do this again since the buzz-fail. Because everytime FB rolls out a new shiny feature i have to look around how to disable it like "auto tagging" ...
Yeah but its not like there's a discussion thread anywhere to critique the UI of MtGox's website, and these complaints have to be made so that these problems can be fixed.

I agree. Something like this maybe?

Does anyone with an Apps account have the ability to preview the theme(s)? I don't, in my apps account.

Yet another example of Google treating apps customers as 2nd class citizens. See also: account/login issues and lack of profiles (which means no Places, no Google+, and other products). Google is effectively ignoring what are often their best/most enthusiastic customers in by doing things like this. Very puzzling.
I think Reader need a complete re-design, tweaks on line of Gmail won't help. I have some 1400+ items in my subscription list. And it is not comfortable to read all that stuff in google reader's current avatar. So for now feedly has rescued me. Google reader should offer a feedly type opt-in view. Or it can have a two layouts one for power users and another for people with two digit subscriptions.
Facebook got cachet in the first place because of the early adopters, the same ones that are leaving it in droves.

Personally, I hope you're right and the coked-up party bros stay on facebook. Because I'm interested in using technology for reasons other than simply facilitating my offline social life.

But it seems unlikely. Imagine transposing your argument onto Facebook and Myspace just a few years ago.
Yeah, strange that it isn't pure black.
I've used bottle for many projects and I'm very happy with it. A new version was just released a few days ago as well.
I have the theme turned on in my google apps account.
My point was that Facebook don't also provide email services. Perhaps lock-in is too strong a term, but it's certainly convenient enough to discourage using anything other than gmail - and means that google will own a much larger chunk of your online identity than Facebook does now.
I guess what I'm getting at is that it would take an awful lot of cocaine for me to think of my parents as the "cool kids."

I do agree that it'll be tough to get luddites to jump ship -- but I see that as an overwhelmingly positive thing.
I didn't notice due to adblock, but Gmail has provided such a fantastic service for free over the years and really improved the quality of the webmail experience. I don't think I could complain much even if they put more adclick spots in Gmail — it still beats all the alternatives in my book.
ASK NH: What are your thoughts/experiences with 'unlimited vacation days'?
I recently got introduced to the concept of 'unlimited vacation days'. It was a big surprise, but after thinking about it for a while I'm a bit skeptical. I did some research on it and in particular read an NPR article. The articles gives a few examples of people taking a few vacations, but they're relatively normal lengths. Each individual's example were 6 weeks for baby, 1 month vacation, 3 months (after NO vacation for THREE years). The length of the vacations are not extreme or too out of ordinary considering the situations, especially for the new baby and never having taken a vacation for 3 years.

I can see the advantage for someone who currently has 2-3 weeks of vacation to increase to 'unlimited vacation days' and then take 4-5 weeks in a year. However for people who already have an above average number of vacation days (5 weeks or more), it doesn't seem like an advantage to have 'unlimited' vacation days. In a field of people all with 'unlimited' days, it seems like you would be an outlier if you attempted to take more days than the rest.

What are your thoughts or experiences with this concept? Also, how many days have you (or someone you know) actually taken with unlimited vacation days.
Honest question - have you been in a serious, long-term relationship?
Just sent one with the method in the post. Let me know if it works.
Even with Adblock Plus, the faint yellow bar remains. It's definitely obnoxious, but I otherwise prefer the new theme too much to go back.
When I first saw Google+, I felt that it looked a lot like [Helvetireader](http://helvetireader.com/) to the point where I thought that they may have been (heavily) inspired.

With the new Gmail interface, this can't be a coincidence.

Credit where credit is due? Hell, are we talking about a blatant rip-off?
I completely agree about apps customers being treated like 2nd class citizens. I was not impressed when I found out I couldn't create a Google+ account due to lack of profiles, this will probably result in many of those people creating new Google accounts just to test those products out.
Man, interpreters date back to the 1950s, if not the 1940s. There's always some stuff that needs to be compiled, and other stuff that doesn't, but the stuff that needs compiling gets smaller and smaller every year.

I think Pool Party`s a better name than Disco myself. After all, would you rather go to a Disco or a Pool Party?
Have you considered using dotjs or something similar to remove it?
Facebook already has circles. They're called friend lists. Adding UI sugar to make circles (if people actually wanted them) would be nearly trivial. For instance:

don't disagree with most of what you said, but...you sure about this part?

I would know that I could still withdraw my money because they have enough cash on hand for me to do so.

Or if you want a more practical example, keep watching Greece (or look at what happened to Argentina 10 years ago).
I'm not seeing the text ads being moved in either of the new themes; perhaps they're A/B testing it?
I used to work in the post-production industry here in Chicago, specifically as an editor. I can't think of any well known commercial post-houses that abandoned Avid for Final Cut Pro completely. I know plenty of shops that USE FCP along with Avid, but the risk was always too great to fully abandon a platform that was proven to work (most of the time).

I can't speak for feature film editors, but virtually all of the commercial film editors I know still, to this day, use Avid for most of their projects. Editors are a finicky bunch, and I can certainly see Apple realizing that to truly compete in that market, it's all or nothing. The problem with FCP was always the uncertainty of it, hence the reason Avid is still in use at most shops, despite the fact that editors love to bash it.

As time marches on, I can see where FCP might, yet again, be at the forefront of innovation. The problem is, busy editors don't REALLY want innovation. They want proven systems that work. I think Apple made the right choice.
The assertion in the title is nonsense because "human intelligence" is not properly understood at this point. There is still much debate as to what drives the brain, and whether there is more to human intelligence than just the physical brain. Even if we could completely duplicate a human brain biologically, would it just start working automatically? Would it have feelings? Would it be able to learn if we could attach sensory inputs? This is not known. It's quite possible that there is much more to human intelligence than massive computing power.

See for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind-body_problem
True as far as it goes, but I think more imporantly, it's instructive to consider which company did it.

The article says he worked on Circles. Someone seems to have generalized that to give him credit for every new design that Google is launching.
I don't know why you would opt to write a browser game from scratch in JavaScript and then use libraries with horrible garbage characteristics. Even these simple demos have horrible collection pauses.

Bundling a local development server with their dev tools is a good move, though. Doing development against file:// is basically impossible at this point due to how badly modern browsers mishandle requests for non-http resources.
It did thanks!
I just wish they would get rid of the invite widget. It served a purpose when Gmail was invite only but now it just wastes space.
I really hope somebody is giving out the best clusterfuck of the year awards soon, because this just nailed it.
To me, G+ feels a lot like the launch of Google Buzz. Technologist rushed in, Robert Scoble, Leo Laport, and Jason Calacanis immediately had thousands of followers. Each of there posts received two hundred comments but most non-techie users didn't get sucked in as much. Sure Google Buzz had a botched launched and a slew of privacy issues but those were not the only problems it had in attracting users attention.

Circles is cool but people already have difficulties with private direct messages. Also, people don't want to curate lists.
Business really seems to like Facebook. More and more I see
"check us out on our Facebook page". I want to see how Google addresses the display ad advantage Facebook presently has.
> It would be so very very easy to switch to Bing tomorrow (even easier than choosing not to use Facebook!) but people have chosen not to switch.

I assume that Bing also offers free e-mail with as many features, a calendar system, an equivalent of Google Reader, etc? Unless it can deliver all of that, it wouldn't be a very easy switch for me - whereas ditching Facebook is literally something I contemplate every time I access it and see the crap that's on my feed.
I think that look and feel would be pretty sweet on Android phones. I think I'd like it more than the "holographic" look.
Theme is on for both mail and calendar in my apps account.
Sorry, I forgot I'd already authorized it. It's the circles UI for Facebook friend lists. Three FB engineers put it together the night Google+ launched.

You're saying MTGox is a bank, they're not, they are an exchange.
> don't disagree with most of what you said, but...you sure about this part?

Yes. I am sure. I have far, far, far less than 0.000001% of the total money in the bank. If they could not produce this much money when I wanted it, there would be other serious problems.

> Or if you want a more practical example, keep watching Greece

If I was in Greece, I would not have my money in one of their banks.
How, precisely, do you know how "robust" 10.7 Mail will be?

You don't.
Wow...Google is on FIRE! That shake-up at the top, seems to be bearing fruit.

This is exciting.
> My point was that Facebook don't also provide email services.

Incorrect, as of a few months ago. Every(?) Facebook user now has an email address: <userID>@facebook.com. You can send messages to external email addresses from the messages tab.
Structr.js: Structure for Javascript
Yeah but the key difference is G+ is pushing Circles upfront and hard from the get go. They are also implemented far better than anything Facebook has done along these lines. To truly get the benefit of Circles, not only do I need to be able to take advantage them but all my friends need to be using them too. If everyone is on board and using Circles effectively, the amount of noise overall goes down, and signal can go way up.
You wouldn't need to fab your own chip. Plenty of FPGAs would work. In fact, you could make do with a decent speed ADC and a bit of software.
If you use folders to keep things separate and take advantage of the compressed view (accessed by pressing "2"), I find that Reader is extremely usable for dealing with large numbers of feeds - I'm at 116 subscriptions right now. Admittedly, that isn't anywhere near the 1400+ subscriptions you claim (how do you have time to deal with all of them?), but I feel that Reader would scale well if I did increase to that number. I probably wouldn't be able to deal with it, though.
That's very clever. Though I doubt this is what Mt. Gox is actually doing...
Hate the new back button. Loved the simple hyperlink back to Inbox.
On my Gmail, it's a dark grey which I like, but in Calendar it's pure black. I think the pure black is pretty jarring but the grey nicely transitions from the browser bar.
Ask HN: Why is Google Analytics free?
What does Google gain by offering Analytics for free? Do they harvest each users' sites' usage information?
I really hope they preserve the Classic view. I can't stand how spaced out everything is. I went from being able to see 10 or so contacts in Gchat without scrolling down to just 4.

Edit: That's with the "Dense" view. Regular is even worse.
A few months back I played with Box2D inside of libgdx[1] using JBox2D[2] and thought the performance of untextured 2D entities was OK... seeing this running in JavaScript sort of floors me. I forget (regularly it seems) how far JavaScript has come.

This is every so cool... I can fathom a future, very soon, where something like Angry Birds would be a CSS3/JavaScript app running at a decent framerate.

google+ is basically better email with a nicer UI, funkier animations and cool new concepts like circles and hangouts, hangouts seem to be the killer app for google+. Unlike social networking where the other person has to accept your invitation and become a part of facebook before he/she starts receving your posts, google+ does not mandate it. You can add a person to circles even if he does not have a gmail id or google+ account and still make them respond to your posts. Google seems to be banking on the popularity of gmail, people who use gmail are generally very supportive of google and like google, so many of them will give it a try atleast. These 700 million number thrown about is not very usesful or won't matter much. The fact is most people have around 10 close friends and 50 people they care about, rest are just noise. 700 million is a worldwide number, Google does not need to care really about worldwide numbers initially. So IMHO google+ is a win, I don't know if facebook will be impacted, but google+ is not strictly a social network, it is much much better email and thank god for that.
It is that simple, which is why the bombs just use GPS to get close to the target, then dead reckon[1] the rest of the way.

Something I'm surprised about is that after all the testing google was doing this spring, this seems completely out of the blue. I wonder if they did test this on a larger scale and I just missed it, or they are winging it? If so, kudos to them for taking a huge risk.

As an aside, I just realized that the new design reminds me heavily of Ubuntu with the dark gray and orange highlights.
It gives them direct insight into a whole lot of websites that don't/can't/won't use AdSense.

I don't know if they actually use the data for anything but I've read it's not used at all for search results.
What is the benefit of bcrypt over several million rounds of SHA-512? It seems to me that repeating the hash function is the adjustable work factor that bcrypt seeks to allow and SHA-2 is already in most languages without an additional library.
Neat, if you highlight all the next, you see a cog.
I think there were kickbacks.
I thought we were talking within the context of "serious problems". As for greece, well..it happened to Washington Mutual in 2008 - the largest savings in loan institution in the US. Of course, this is only one of many US banks which were not able to produce money when it was wanted in 2008.

There's a reason banks have a legal right to refuse a withdrawal, specifically because they may not have enough funds. That reason is: because it has and will happen.
Side note, contrast: "Robert Morris, a cryptographer who helped develop the Unix computer operating system" with a 2001 picture of him with his hand on the mouse of a computer running Windows 3.1.
That post is very obnoxious. it mentions why apple won't do several things, and make it seems cool while not doing it, but fail to tell one thing it bothers to actually do.

At the end of the read all i know is it doesn't have features, it doesn't support any format... but it does it well so because of that I should buy apple.

I don't buy it.
There is little good empirical evidence about the minimum wage, period. I'd have a hard time showing any harm, and you'll have a hard time showing any benefit.

That's because the minimum wage is usually set at such a low level that it applies to very few workers (<1.5M in the US, as of 2007), so very few natural experiments are available.

http://www.bls.gov/cps/minwage2007.htm

I'll give you one natural experiment, however. A min wage hike in American Samoa caused unemployment to increase by at least 6% (= 2041 workers fired by Chicken of the Sea / (65k American Samoans x 52% labor force participation rate)).

Yawn! I'm on TB, so don't care.
Way too spaced out for my liking.

I go from seeing 34 messages per page to 24. And about 20 letters of the message summary are dropped.
While Google has made mistakes (I am still sore about them dropping Wave - I liked the Robot APIs + AppEngine) I agree with the author that supporting multiple groups (circles) is what most people want. I don't want my family to have to sift through computer science stuff, my technical friends to have to wade through my latest hiking pictures that now are just visible to my hiking circle - etc.
I think a good hacker/hustler combination is a great idea! Thats way the hackers doesn't have to deal with all the BS that comes with running and growing a business and stay true to their passion, and the hustler can focus on growth, raising money, doing bills, getting the marketing and PR set up and rolling, think how to acquire new customers, enter new markets, do financials, find new partners, read through contracts etc. RIM is an example of that, they have co-CEOs, Google's Eric S was a business guy and so is Ballmer (I think). Neither is S. Jobs a hacker. My point here is they are useful ... I mean if your passion is technology and you list all the activities involved you will see a LOT detracts from the passion. And you kind of need them as a co-founder so they have vested interest, and are diligent, resourceful and careful.

In this case I'd wager that our model of how quickly quasars can form is probably what needs revising, rather than the age of the universe.

It was crypt-MD5, the fact that they call it MD5 with salt is generous at best. They seem to have made the decision to move to crypt-MD5. I don't really have any faith in their ability to secure the servers.
I'd go as far as to say that I've never seen a floating at the bottom, scrolling toolbar which did anything other than annoy me. They also tend to mess up the "find" functionality, as they cover the actual occurrence of what you're looking for.

That said, I'm sure this will be one of the most clicked ads, as it's noticeable while not overly large.
The best part is how he doesn't say that the programmer will get equity, but that if they hit it big, he will be the first employee.
