True, but you can't really bet on that

Sure, you can increase the work, but you'll still be limited by bcrypt size

Otherwise, you could just MD5 hash stuff X times and be done with it

Sure, bcrypt today is very safe, but I wouldn't be surprised if attacks are found today (even if they rely only on bruteforce)

And let's not forget implementation issues that may happen in specific bcrypt libraries
I'm on board with this statement. I've realized for quite awhile that there are some guys who are just on another level in terms of sheer ability. Sadly I am not one of them.

I've run across a fair number of the 9-5 guys who used to be really good/good & use that as motivation to never allow it to happen to me. Always gotta push forward.
I'm not sure I would agree that iOS is MUCH easier than cable. I have a 50" TV connected to a cable box accessible with a remote... that is pretty easy AND a pretty good viewing experience (even with some of the crappy UI in the cable box). I'm not sure what set up I would need to have in order have a comparable viewing experience using our iPad but I have a hard time believing that it would be MUCH easier (or even easier at all). To me that sounds harder and less likely to be as enjoyable. But I suppose it would probably be cheaper. So I guess different strokes for different folks.

A stock JtR 1.7.9-jumbo5, using the default rules, is finding quite a few of the non-zeroed ones pretty quickly. This surprises me; I would have expected them to have run the list through the JtR mill before passing it on to others.
No, but your page still makes me play "hunt the noisy tab", and then, if I decide I want to watch the video, requires me to pause my own music to listen to your loop.

I don't object to all audio. Click-to-play and relevant? Great! But auto-playing, un-mutable, and completely unrelated is a terrible combination.

I keep seeing comments about how the tax is a tradeoff for certain rights. Last I checked, legality is determined by laws, not by paying $5. I don't pay a "freedom of speech tax" or a "suffrage tax" when I protest or vote.
The clauses in your lease which expressly forbid this sort of activity would actually probably count as the "first you heard from your landlord that he didn't want you AirBNB'ing." It's not like you were unaware of them - you wrote that you "had flouted the same clauses" before.

Now that you were cranking tons of guests through for personal gain, you were surprised when your landlord took exception. If I found out that somebody was blatantly disregarding the rental agreement they'd signed with me for commercial gain, they would not be getting a friendly "hey brother, can you please stop?" phone call either.
Internet subscriptions will happen, but I agree that HBO probably won't allow it anytime soon. In the meantime, cord-cutters are forced to pirate shows (or they can wait for certain shows in certain geographic regions). Eventually, HBO will realize they are trying to compete with free (via pirating) and will accept that $12/month, or something similar, might be an acceptable price. Currently, HBO can expect to make billions, but as the cable companies lose their stranglehold on the distribution channels, the price will inevitably drop.

Facebook Credits - Facebook Developers Payment System
AppCode is the cure for your Xcode frustrations.
Heed warning - it's not this simple. The only way to properly do this is to build a strong network with the stakeholders who buy this IT software. Mainly the CTO/CIO (or CFO). That's the only way to make money in the enterprise. Sales cycles are long and arduous, so be prepared for the long haul.
Sounds like a good idea, however to sell at BigCo:

- you really need contacts. As the OP points out, this involves working with them some time (in the inside, as contractor, selling to them, whatever). If you haven't, find a salesman who has the right contacts and experience: "don't call X, he's retiring next year and doesn't want to rock the boat with a new purchase. He'll just string you along. Call Y instead, he's new to the company and wants to prove himself - I play golf with him next Saturday".

- decision making at BigCo is at a frustrating, glacial pace. If you're used to the instant feedback of throwing something up in an app store or HN or whatever, you'll be disappointed.

- lots and lots and lots of meetings. Incredibly inane and the lead times are ridiculous.

- once you've proven yourself, it can be a real gravy train.

You seem to have no issue ascribing ideas they have never written to people who reply to your comments. I therefore assume (and assumed) you are in full and complete agreement with the various *AA over the handling of piracy. Including but not limited to rights-restriction, network monitoring, traffic shaping and mass legal threats.

Also, your comment was idiotic and I was spinning it the other way 'round to demonstrate this.
Can this spit out a waveform of the entire track (i.e. similar to if I loaded something in Garageband/Audacity, I could scrub through the track)?
If you try to log in with a valid username, but no password, you'll get a link to email yourself a newly generated password. The text of the email is:

New Hacker News pw: <new password>

So someone probably thinks they have your username and are wondering why they can't remember the password or receive an new password.

Far less likely is that someone could be trying to discover/exploit a timing attack on the forgotten password generation algorithm.
Richard Stallman has suggested something similar, but with the tax being on internet use rather than media, and with the money being distributed to artists in proportion to the cube root of their popularity.

http://stallman.org/articles/internet-sharing-license.en.htm...

It is possible to prove mathematically that a free market doesn't work with goods that that have a significant cost to create but that are infinitely copyable, without restriction, at essentially zero cost once created.

The current copyright laws address this by restricting copying. The basic idea is to intellectual property artificially behave like physical property, so that the market can work.

There are a couple of disadvantages to this approach. (1) it makes IP goods more expensive to the consumer than they "should" be, so there will be underconsumption compared to what people would consume if the price was lower. (2) people can easily cheat.

The major advantage of this approach is that it leaves the decision of what works get made up to the market.

The other major way to address the market failure, which is the one Stallman suggests, is that you do artificially make IP act like physical problem, and so go ahead and let the market make and distribute copies without restriction, and address the problem of creation by public funding.

This is arguably fair since almost everyone does consume music, movies, and other forms of art. Essentially it is treated as a public good.

The advantage of that system is that consumers end up paying close to the marginal cost for their entertainment (i.e., $0), which is the economically "correct" price. Another advantage is that it does not rely on people obeying a legal fiction.

The disadvantage is that if art is being treated as a public good is that you (1) have to decide on the source of funding, (2) the funding level, and (3) how to distribute the money.

For source of funding, the most sensible seems to be some kind of tax specifically for this, probably tied to something that at least vaguely correlates with art consumption.

I have no idea how one would go about determining the funding level.

For distribution, something based on popularity seems sensible. Note that under this approach, all copying and sharing would be completely legal so there would be no need to try to hide it, so it would be feasible to figure out popularity by sampling network traffic. In fact, since it would be in the interest of content creators to ensure accurate measurement of popularity, I suspect that there would be big official free fast download services sponsored by the content creators, with good search and recommendation features, and most people would download through those rather than use P2P.

Okay, I don't want to drag HN into flamewars for the lulz, so... Man, all you guys, chill. I'm not saying let's all go anarchist hyper-libertarian on you, or say that no regulation has any purpose or any benefit. I'm just asking you to think about the costs we impose on ourselves with it - I think this is reasonable, because you're clearly doing a perfectly good job thinking of alllll the benefits already, as your responses have clearly indicated.

And this is a specific occasion to see the costs. Most occasions you won't get to see the costs. They'll be behind the veil of obscurity and all you'll actually see is a bunch of (possibly self-interested) Republicans talking about abstractions, if the costs are mentioned at all.

Perhaps now that we are better enabled by technology we can get all or substantially all of the benefits with fewer costs in the future? Then everyone can be happy happy freedom joy double rainbow all across the sky puppy-kisses. For srsly. :)

okay i'm done here. :)

Those sorts of actions are what regulation was supposed to prevent.

The current option, of crowd-sourcing information about possible lodging, wasn't previously possible. While we still need regulation to prevent the dumping of raw sewage, we could get so much more out of the space we have with decentralized, information-rich decision making.

Plus, it's not like regulation has actually kept people like him from doing illegal things. As long as the punishment is "a fine" breaking the law is just another cost of doing business. If instead the government could evict him from his properties he might possible decide its worth following the law.

I think HBO is blowing smoke up the cable companies ass, and they are carefully calculating when to 'cut the cord' so to speak.

HBOGO is just too slick of an application to have been an afterthought freebie for it's current customers. We're talking a very well designed and implemented web app, iPad app, and server side component. Does HBO really think that will entice new subscribers, or keep unhappy subscribers from canceling?

I highly doubt it. I wouldn't be surprised if HBO is counting each and every hit and contemplating just how much money they'll make when that day comes.

I agree it certainly has the feel of trying to blunt Apple's announcement. The thing that makes it feel that way for me is the lack of use cases. The 'real' news would be offline because if you plot connection capable isotherms for where you can and cannot be connected, big chunks of the world are in 'not' connected. That means all your 'cloud/net' maps are worthless, which is why I still get Microsoft Streets & Trips and have a Garmin dedicated navigator rather than relying on my phone.
One might even liken it the difference between gnawing on a stick of sugar cane and eating ice cream, or licking a rock and eating a salty potato chip :) I still haven't seen the thing that makes MSG especially sinister.

Ask HN: Google safebrowsing lists cloudfront.net as distributing malware?
http://google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=cloudfront.net/
Cloudfront.net is the domain used by Amazon AWS's Cloudfront service, is listed in Google's 'safebrowsing' as distributing malware. Due to this, one of our sites is being blocked by overzealous firewall software (because we utilize cloudfront). I can't find any references to this happening to other people, on Amazon's site, forums, or even searching google. Has anyone run into this issue? Is there anything, short of turning it off, that we could do?

To make it clear, our site is not blocked, but we deliver assets through cloudfront, and that IS blocked.

Offering a complete streaming service might be a bad idea, but it's a shame they don't do like so many other content providers and offer individual episodes for sale via Amazon Instant Video. Many popular cable shows (and even shows from ABC/NBC/Fox etc.) are available for purchase on Amazon the day after they air, usually for $2 each. This option would avoid the technical difficulties and the added expense of operating their own web-based content delivery system.
This advice is just copypasta.

It's also pretty dangerous and wrong.

Example: "shared-buffers. below 2GB: set it to 20% of full memory, below 32GB: 25% of your full memory." -- Don't do this. Set it to around 20% of your memory if you have a small machine, such as a vps or desktop. If you have lots of memory, set it between 2GB and 4GB. Anything above 8GB exceeds what it is designed to handle and can cause major performance problems, such as the database becoming unresponsive for 1-2 minutes.

"work_mem. Start low at 32/64MB. Look for temporary file lines in logs. Then set it to 2-3x the largest temp file that you see. This setting can give a huge speed boost (if set properly)." -- This is a great way to cause your database machine to swap to death. A single query can cause many times work_mem to be allocated (it can allocate this much for every sort or hash). So this really depends on how many connections you have and what the queries are. No silver bullet here, but 16-24MB usually works pretty well if you have enough memory.

maintenance_work_mem: 2GB is plenty. This is used whenever you create an index, and I think autovacuum also uses this setting. 10% is way too high.

checkpoint_timeout: the higher the better here, but keep in mind that if your db goes down and has to be started, it can take this long before it is available to accept queries. 5M is probably what I would use unless I knew I could accept more down time than that.

Also, changing linux kernel settings can make a huge difference, but tuning disk performance and dirty buffer sizes is a whole topic I won't get into here.

Short version of the science: The heat is released via an exothermic chemical reaction between the Zeolite and water. However, unlike the one-time-use chemical-reaction heating pads you can buy in a pharmacy, this reaction is reversible, so you can "recharge" the Zeolite by heating it and removing the water as it is released in order to force the reaction to reverse itself. The reaction goes something like this:

Zeolite + water <-> Zeolite & water complex + HEAT

The reaction happens at the surface of the zeolite, so the storage capacity is proportional to the surface area of the pellet. If you make the pellet highly porous, this can be proportional to its volume.
>By applying heat to Fraunhofer’s zeolite comes into contact with water, a chemical reaction adsorbs the water and emits heat.

Please cite one academic cryptography paper that presents an analysis of PBKDF2, other than Colin's paper which damns it.

There is virtually no "rigorous" research into KDFs of any sort, let alone password KDFs. Most academic crypto research simply presumes passwords are taken from cryptographically secure random number generators and stored securely.

And with that said I want to remind you that I just cited a source, accepted at Usenix, that measured PBKDF2, bcrypt, and scrypt and found PBKDF2 inferior to bcrypt. You seem to want to pretend otherwise.

Whether or not you take into account the entire driving record (which you arguably should not since people's driving ability changes over time), another relevant fact is that some people are unusually bad drivers - causing lots and lots of accidents or near-accidents all the time. The few drivers who are actively a menace to everyone else make the rest of us look good by comparison. There's an upper limit on how good a driver you can be and most drivers aren't terribly far from that limit - they know their abilities and drive within them most of the time. But there's no strong lower limit on how bad a driver you can be. So we all grok intuitively that a few people who are drunk, high, angry, near-blind, aggressive or just terribly lacking in judgement are way over there on the other side of the driving-well scale from us; that makes us "above average drivers".
Some nice features, but looks like a basket of usability bugs and glitches to me. Also it's way slower.

One of my favorite memories of growing up was listening to Ray Bradbury Theater audio cassettes on the drive to and from camping trips.
