There are two new paradigms gaining momentum in enterprise environments:

- Assumption of breach
- Bring your own device

Assumption of breach is driven by the industry's over-emphasis on protection, versus detection and response. The harsh reality is an attacker will always be successful gaining access. The detection and response capabilities are historically anemic due to repeated under-investment. That's why you see so many intrusions reported and the attackers have been in place for months or years.

One of the natural results of assuming breach is to shift focus from protecting _devices_ to protecting _data_. An attacker can always land on the secretary's machine, but you can put additional layers of protection around the organization's critical data.

Bring your own device (BYOD) is a natural extension of assuming breach and shifting focus from data to devices, and aligns nicely with the user desires to use their iPads and smartphones. The result in these environments is the IT shop becomes more ISP and less Dell technical support.

Many industries are adopting the assumption of breach and inevitability of compromise. RSA Exec Chairman at the RSA Conf a couple weeks ago: "We need to acknowledge once and for all that our networks will be penetrated." BYOD is harder - popular for universities and hospitals with significant user mobility, less so for governments and financials with higher protection thresholds and more static environments.

In another five years, these ideas will be common practice for many industries. If you HN'ers have some crafty plans in the enterprise space, take note.

I just checked out lean domain search, it actually looks pretty handy. I like how fast it is at generating domain names and checking for availability. One feature that would make it much more useful is the ability to specify multiple words and have it do a combinatorial check on them against your other words.

One other thing, the "LDS" favicon took me by surprise. I had tabbed away for a second, then coming back I saw LDS and thought "now how the hell did I get on Mormon church site?". Only after I clicked back to it did I realize it was your site. I live in Utah, and the Mormon church is very prevalent here, so I don't know if others would have the same thought or reaction. Just thought I'd mention it. Good luck with leandomainsearch
I guess prejudice is in the eyes of the beholder... "creative" (at least for me) = "people that draw or play stuff". Therefore, designers, music composers and painters/whoever-draws-cartoons. I don't see how this implies that software people don't "create" stuff (and at the same time, I don't understand the need of some to be seen as "software artists" when writing raytracing software or "engineers" when writing a bloody webapp...)
Is it possible to use more of our brain?
`tV` Watch Stormers vs Sharks:: watch rugby live: Care2 Groups
There are 7 billion people alive today. It's silly to assume otherwise.

What's more is that it prevents learning. I was talking with friend of mine the other day about an idea to set up a sqlite database with a html/css/javascript front end in order to organize all the word documents and spreadsheets that currently are haphazardly tossed onto a shared drive at work.

He pointed out that that's basically a content management system, and I realized that up until that point I assumed I was the first person to ever think about this problem. Now I have a bunch of people's code to read and learn from.
Dreadful Autocorrect Mistake Puts School on LockDown
Another stupid label invented by a reporter desperate for someone to read his story. All sorts of dumb. I guess 'brogrammer' sounds better than 'douchegrammer'? People are just people. There's all sorts of people and all sorts of programmers.

I am not sure what he means by this.
There are probably plenty of bros who can write code and be well-liked with the sales dept. But how many bros are willing to spend 16 hours straight to debug the latest broken distro of some open source project because only that has the feature they need to run some obscure component of their website? Truth is, nearly every great programmer I know is a masochist when it comes to figuring out difficult problems. And they're willing to sacrifice a lot to make it work.

I know some great programmers, but none of them happen to be brogrammers.
Maybe I'm confused - I've always seen the brogrammer thing as firmly tongue-in-cheek, dripping in irony, and primarily poking fun at "bro" culture. Have I got it completely wrong, or is this one of those things where a meme peaks in popularity, and people start to take it at face value rather than ironically?
Research in programming languages
It appears that your comment has been taken the wrong way... I think what you're saying is this:

* It's more fun (for you) to work with people who like to program and ship software than it is to work with people who just program to pay their bills and would rather be anywhere else than at work.

When employees care about solving problems, they put in extra hours sometimes. Managers have the problem of making sure that team members don't burn themselves out. At these companies you see things like as much time off as you want, work what hours you want, work where you want. There's no need to make people work.

When employees don't care, they spend lots of time in the office getting coffee, checking email, IM chatting, surfing the web, having endless meetings arguing about whether or not source control is a good idea, etc. The managers there have the problem of getting the staff to do any real work at all.

For an employee who wants to work at one kind of company, it's very frustrating to work at the other kind.
Reading this should give you a push in the right direction:

To some extent, AppleTV is ALSO still a flop...
One thing wrong is that programming is not homogeneous work, and unionization works better when different employees' work are completely substitutible. Otherwise you end up in a "market for lemons" race to the bottom in work quality situation.
Thanks! I'm looking at adding more tld's and words/synonyms.
Absolutely agree. I meant for 'on duty' to imply public interaction. Public servant labor should be as transparent to the public as humanly possible.

If you talk about any activity you undertake daily on or offline seriously with a lawyer, you will become so scared you'll want to stop doing it. Even the legal ramifications of walking your dog will make your head spin.
Thanks larrys, that's some of the best feedback I've received.

I encourage everyone to do this: find some premium domain names that cost $X,XXX or $XX,XXX and mix them in with results from Lean Domain Search and see if people really prefer the expensive ones. (That would actually make a really good marketing tool/game that I could implement on the site itself.)

I've said it before: as word spreads that there actually are a lot of quality available .com domain names out there, I think the premium domain name industry is going to feel it. As it should.
IMHO, the UI will play a huge role in whichever solution comes out and dominates the market. TVs are everywhere, yet most users find them hard to deal with (even switching inputs is "hard", let alone doing stuff such as recording content)...
Nintendo's strategy made sense though. A bunch of people didn't want to hear that the gaming paradigm might be changing, but that's besides the point. Personally, I didn't know if they were going to win or lose with their strategy, but I thought that it made sense.

Right now I'm confused about their decision to abandon the Wiimote though. If they're upset that they didn't get as many 3rd-party titles, IIRC that had more to do with the hardware constraints of the platform (I remember it being described as two GameCubes strapped together).

Isn't that the story of Sega though? The Saturn was a flop, and then the DreamCast wasn't enough to rescue them from becoming a software-only company.
How To Build A Startup Ecosystem In A Small City
What jarek said! ("And I'm sure his job duties never cause him stress and decrease his enjoyment of the skiing...")

I like skiing, not teaching people how to ski. I _have_ debated trying to get an instructor job in order to get more time on the slopes. But I've never lived close enough to a ski area to make this feasible. And in truth, I'm in no position to teach anyone how to ski; my skills are at the intermediate level.

Recently I moved pretty close to a ski area. Next season, I do plan to look into work as a ski instructor, teaching raw beginners. It should be interesting to see how this pans out, or whether I can even get a job doing that.

I have tried to get a job at a rock climbing gym in order to get more time climbing. I applied, without mentioning my dislike of customer service.... But I was turned down. I'm suspicious it might be because of my age - not young enough - or because, as a long-time software developer, I have completely the wrong background for it. Hard to say. But there you go, even getting an entry level job requiring minimal skills and paying a low wage isn't so easy.

My interest in programming was pretty high when I got into it. After years of working in jobs with various levels of aggravation and stupidity, my interest has waned to the point where it's hardly a bearable way to make a living. So for me, doing something for money can turn it into a real chore. At some point you just get a visceral nasty feeling when even thinking about this thing that used to excite you.

At this point in my life, I'm going to be extra careful about what I do for a living. I don't want to lose my love of rock climbing, skiing, or travel, by performing contortions to try to make a living out of those things.
I'm not seeing anything on zegup which allows you to even indicate from the list which domains you might be interested in. (Unlike LDS where you can go and register and click on something). Not that they won't add some way to mark a domain of course or allow you to register.

For speed purposes they should be FIRST running this check on yesterday's zone files from each registry (Verisign for .com/net for example). If that fails (shows in the zone file) no need to go further.

After that check if a name does show as available you do a whois against the appropriate registry NOT a REGISTRAR (because there is no reason to do that).

As step 1 if you don't have access to the zone file you can do a nslookup to see if the domain resolves. If it doesn't you can then check the registry (by the way PIR (.org) rate limits checks unless you are white listed).

Theoretically if a registrar has access to zegup they could front run domains IF the user of zegup indicated which domains they were interested in. Otherwise to many names to be of value in front running the way I see the site operating.

Of course there is nothing to prevent a registrar from putting up a man in the middle site (like zegup) hosted elsewhere and grabbing domains and doing what you are saying. So there is no way to "guarantee" what you are asking other than the reputation of the person running the "zegup" type site.

As an aside zegup.com was registered recently and has domain privacy. So even though whois can be faked privacy info when you are runnning a business is a bad idea.

I could be wrong, but I think what you're seeing is industry jargon more than a slight on software engineers. In movies and theatre, the "creative team" refers to designers, directors, writers, etc. "Technicians" like camera operators, CGI engineers, props people, etc, aren't on this team. It's not meant to be a comment on their level of creativity, it's just a way of delineating roles.
Related question: I've been wanting to find a small (ruby/rails) project to get involved in. Github gives you a nice view of large/active projects, but it's sort of hard to find something that is smaller and (in theory) easier to get up to speed on. I know the standard advice is to find something that you're using that interests you, but I'm new enough to rails that I just don't have enough background to know what that might be. Any other suggestions?
Kirsten turned to federal copyright laws and found a section on fair use. Copyrighted work can only be used without permission when someone is criticizing it, commenting on it, reporting on it, teaching about it, or conducting research. Repinning doesn't fall under any of those categories.

1) Many people leave comments on pins, and group them under certain headings which could be considered commentary ("Favorite places," etc.)

2) Almost every software EULA has similarly scary language that places the burden of responsibility on the user.

3) Few photographers have the means to wage a legal campaign against alleged infringers.

4) Many photographers and publishers only use lo-res versions on websites

5) As others have pointed out, why would a photographer want to shut down someone who is helping to spread the word about their work?
I'm somewhat sure that what really sells there is the BRAND plus the user experience, not the beautiful box...
Thanks. The multiple queries per search idea isn't a bad one, but not enough people have asked for it where it makes sense to implement it just yet. And as someone else mentioned, the results are already a bit overwhelming. Having 3,000 or 4,500 or 6,000 results vs the current 1,500 isn't going to help that. I think my time is better spent exploring ways to organize the current results. But if there is demand, I'll meet it.

And yeah, agreed about the Mormon association. They really need to change their name =X
It's a common fallacy amongst amateur photographers that professionals will be grateful for the exposure, as it will bring them more work. However, professionals themselves disagree:

Javascript libraries for animation in HTML5
A couple of years ago I started receiving a lot of spam to rackspacecloudservers@firstnamelastname.com. I've opened support tickets asking whether they had a known breach but they simply closed my tickets without explanation, and any attempt to use their live chats were closed immediately by their staff or completely ignored. I used to hold Rackspace in such high esteem; I wonder what happened?
But Pinterest doesn't link to it - it retrieves a copy and makes it its own content.
I'm curious...I haven't thought about this much at all and I've no experience in it, but your assertion doesn't seem obvious to me. Can you back it up with examples?
I would say it's actually much less challenging than ever before since now they exist.
My experience is that it depends a great deal on the types of the goals and how they're presented. The article mentions vaguely-defined, general self-improvement goals, like taking up a new hobby. I can see a public commitment being counterproductive there. But I'd bet that it works differently for more quantifiable goals, especially ones with a specific starting time, such as completing Nanowrimo, or telling your boss that you're going find a fix for bug XXX before Monday.

Quitting smoking? A hell of a lot easier to change your mind about if you haven't told anyone.

Of course, we're just going on the article. I don't have access to the original paper, but just reading the abstract already suggests (big surprise here) that the article is probably not a faithful summary of the study in question.
I'm learning so much from this discussion. I'll throw in my data point (I believe it's relevant):

I ran shell scripts on 10 nodes with fast backbone connections, making DNS queries of all possible 4-letter and 5-letter .com's. Obviously, if the domain doesn't NXDOMAIN, it has been taken.

At the time (before domain squatting was shut down) all legal 4-letter domains were taken.

From the NXDOMAINs, I ran a much slower whois script to see if the domain was registered but missing a DNS entry.

From that final list of unclaimed domains, I was quickly able to spot the one I wanted.
Web Platform Makes Professor Most Powerful Pirate
My first job out of university was for a failed start up. When I joined it was fantastic. There were only a handful employees and the company was making good profit. Then somebody decided to expand as quickly as possible. They hired a new CEO that just didnt understand small businesses. She came from a massive company and her first reaction was to hire insane amounts of people (mostly middle level management) from her old job.

They never managed to score another contract and ran out of money within a year. It was shameful how much money these guys grabbed for themselves and drove the company into the ground.

It seems to me that certain people think that they can pay themselves whatever they want once they get investment money. Its like free money.
None of the arguments against the OP are very compelling.
I don't know Pinterest, but why doesn't it use the safe harbor provision of the DMCA, as, I believe, most user-uploaded content sites do? Do they think compliance with DMCA would be too costly for them? Are they a small/big company?
I have always loved pysdm -- it is very handy for when you have a separate /home partition and want to remount it as /home on a new or re-installed partition (thus keeping all your files and settings) ... of course you can do it via the command line but this minimises the risk of screwing up badly.
I think he may be trying to get at the fact that we have 5 major browsers (IE, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Opera) and 5 platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android) that "web designers" build for.
Everytime I see these Terms of Use I wonder, to what extent are they applicable? They can write whatever they want there, but what is enforceable? Example: "By registering to this website the user agrees to the obligation of coming everyday to mike's house and give him a foot massage"

I'm sorry if this comes across as harsh, but this really seems like
you're trying to troll me here. "How many [GROUP OF PEOPLE] are
willing to put their children in [DANGEROUS SITUATION]" is a common
idiom that has nothing to do with slavery.

In this specific case, it means things like:

1) How many policitions would be happy to see their children on the
frontline?

2) How many policitions would support [WAR AGAINST X] if they knew
that their child would be on the frontlines (or killed in action)?

3) How many policitions would implement a draft, and then pull strings
to make sure their children exempt?

It's a matter of the people making decisions only reaping the
benefits, but being divorced from the costs.
This reasoning is flawed. You'll have no way of knowing if your candidate's answer is actually correct (they may come up with a working solution that's different than your ore-canned answer), or whether they have a flaw.

The whole point of hard problems is to see how people approach problems - and having them identify their own mistakes and correct for them is part of that.
Fascinating! I have a personal goal start-up called chizzl.com and I was debating whether to socialize it -- I personally want to keep my goals private but thought the option to share ones goals on a profile page would prove helpful. I will have to weigh this against this article.
That, as always, would be up to the court.
I am not sure this will work for them if courts decide that their very modus operandi is to encourage widespread copying. Peer to peer companies argued that they weren't copying, just providing a platform and that others were 'abusing' that platform, not them. But I believe the reason they were wiped out was that the whole way they conducted their business effectively promoted such abuse. I suspect it wouldn't be hard to argue that against Pinterest.
Canon EOS 5D Mark III Hands-on Preview
I don't think the hardware spec will be fixed. The article seems to think it will be Android-like. Valve will give guidelines like 'must support OpenGL' and 'needs at least HDMI output and 6 USB ports', but if you want to spring for the Alienware Mega-'Console', then you'll have a bit more power.

And the more I think about this and type my response, the less exciting this sounds... All of this is possible on a PC. What they'll be offering us is basically a pre-loaded, locked-down Linux based OS.
I am pretty sure that foot massage clause is in Apple's ToU. Everything else is.
bio measuring gadgets sounds interesting , of course it would be very easy to cheat this and heart rate monitors are not particularly comfortable.
That's exactly the approach I tried to suggest: Find as many correct replies first, because there certainly are hosts which names can be resolved and try the whois-approach on everything else.
Hackers: Get fit & lose weight – climb out & play CounterStrike in real life!
I just can't read this with those grammar issues. If you want to be taken seriously you have to learn to use the word have.
They don't necessarily make them 'public' in the sense you suggest. They may make them available for viewing on a site (distribution channel) that they have approved for whatever commercial reasons they see fit. They have chosen the channel and do rights to control that channel because they may well believe that the channel affects the value of the product.
That's not really quantitative, but I see your point.

Flickr was the prototypical Web 2.0 name, and I always thought the unusual spelling was a plus, since it made it more memorable, but perhaps there were a lot of other potential customers who were lost at step 0.

And I suppose you have similar conclusions about domain hacks, or using dictionary word + obscure TLD?

I suppose I am aware that for the average person, a website address is "www.____.com" or nothing. But I have an irrational love of interesting domain names. Perhaps it's bad to indulge that.

EDIT: The US government has some guidelines for domain name usability here. Usability isn't quite everything, but it's probably worth serious consideration.

True, but if they invest the resources into making all of these games run on Linux then perhaps those of us with "real" Linux setups will be able to run them too. No more dual booting!
