I bought in Jan 5, 2006. I never preferred it as a text editor, but Odgaard mentioned on the MacBS list that the licenses were sequential, so I wanted to see how much a trendy one-man Mac text editor sold. My license was #4814, which means he probably grossed about $250k over those first two years.

A year later, I bought it again... that time my license number was #37475. (Though I think at that point it had been in various promotions and bundles, so who knows how much $ it translates to.)
$750 for book excerpts seems pretty outrageous to me. They're not putting a complete copy up.
No fucking way, you don't always control the environment you work on, and sometimes you want to switch OS without losing your tools. Sublime Text 2 gives you the freedom to do this. And Sublime is completely awesome on every platform.
No, "hacker" really does mean "hacker"
I'm a Linux guy for two decades and all the hardware accessories I buy are from Microsoft - keyboards, mice, webcams, joysticks etc.

I did do Logitech for a while, but they were incredibly user hostile - for example they didn't have drivers available for download, at one point wanted to charge for them, and then the final straw was a driver for a USB keyboard that refused to install on the grounds that I was pirating the driver!

I detest the constant assumption in Windows that you are a vile thief stealing it, but the hardware accessories have been the other way around. Drivers always available, always worked, and even available for Mac. And on Linux the hardware has just worked out of the box.

I'm not really a twitter user, so can't complain about ads cramping my feed, but if the ads are that much of a nuisance, can't twitter just charge for a premium ad free version? Would that essentially cancel any benefit of app.net? Seems like it isn't a very defensible position.

Just curious, are you actually a data security professional? Because while you have a very nice metaphor with the whole bank vault thing, you haven't offered any actual examples, or any specific criticisms of Blizzard's setup (not that we know what it was), or even examples of what you're talking about.

I know nothing about data security myself, but I'm not exactly learning anything about it from your posts. Sorry to be rudely blunt, but I've seen a lot of people who have no idea what Blizzard is up against, the difficulty/feasibility of protecting digital data, what Blizzard has in place, or even what Blizzard could/should have in place really criticizing Blizzard for incompetence here, and that's odd to me.
> "The only reason to have those two rules is because you are storing the password in plain text so anyone who gets access to the database can read them freely."

That is certainly not the only reason to have those rules; in fact, it's probably one of the least popular reasons.

It's done to keep customers creating short-ish passwords, which are likely to be more memorable, and therefore reduce the support load for password resets.

Whether this is actually effective or not is another thing entirely.
In Microsoft's case they have to get into the whole solution business in order to retain margins. Asymco has an excellent article with the numbers: http://www.asymco.com/2012/06/20/who-will-be-microsofts-tim-...

Quote: "So Microsoft faces a dilemma. Their business model of expensive software on cheap hardware is not sustainable. The future is nearly free software integrated into moderately priced hardware. For Microsoft to maintain their profitability, they have to find a way of obtaining $80 of profit per device. "
Odd, this is from 2004, so it's 8 years old, which is like a century in tech years. I'm surprised I have not heard of more advancements in this (creepy!) field.

Nice. Sounds like it would be relatively trivial to add templates for other app stores- please do so! I'd love to make a Smore for my new Nook app.
Great, in Diablo 3, the only game I play, Blizzard forces you to be online at all times, even to play single player and they can't even look after your passwords.

Just great.
This would be an amazing boon to hobbyist woodworkers (and i hope that's what they mean by "consumer version").
A large amount of time routing is spent making jigs or patterns templates or transferring measurements or ...
Even simple things like dado grooves require clamps and a straightedge.

Given the right price, almost every woodworker on the planet would likely buy this.

They mention the precision is 0.009" average error, which is good enough for woodworking, but not say, metalworking, or even any kind of precision plastic parts.

They also mention "digital automation" in general, which this wouldn't replace. Cabinet shops/etc use CNC machines not just because they are accurate, repeatable, etc, but because they do not require humans to baby them.
This may be a bit out of scope for this post, but at Google I used to get a lot of mileage out of a system I worked on called Dapper:

http://static.googleusercontent.com/external_content/untrust...

It uses thread-local storage and RPC library instrumentation to thread a fixed request-id through every RPC call and thread handling a particular user request.

Then you can do things like automatically adding the request ID to log messages, transparently to the request-handling code. And when you visualize logged RPCs, you can include (some subset of) the logged messages in your visualization.

precisely. So, then replace 'consciousness' with 'sentience' in my original proposition. I am not saying response to an environment is sentience; but, when using living brain tissue, there may be a chance that these computers will eventually display sentience.

Perhaps they were trying to prove she cures cancer, and accidentally wrote something vaguely accurate instead.
You are pointing your anger in the wrong direction. The reality is that security is a hard problem, much too hard for Blizzard, much too hard for RSA, much too hard for banks, and much too hard for governments.

Major companies being hacked is not a new phenomenon. What's new is them (a) detecting the hacks and (b) disclosing them. It's unfortunate but true; you should be happy that they are telling you.
Yes, lands end does offer some pretty affordable gear. If it fits, feels comfortable and lasts, its a good way to go!
> Speed-of-light limitations say that yes, the best HFT will happen close to the trading floor.

Why?

HFT needs to be close to where transactions happen, but that's not the trading floor.

The trading floor is just a place where a bunch of people with a bunch of screens connected to the "place where transactions happen" gather each trading period.

The trading floor can't be where transactions happen because it's got people in it, not machines.

This is precisely what we are striving for. Not an easy task. Our fitting process will require no measuring tape and no human intervention. From size optimization to recommending adjustments for perfect fit, we hope that the whole process is frictionless and hassle free. We will work on pricing and speed to delivery in the meantime!
Oh man...if this works, it will be fantastic.

I'm 6'5" 220+ lbs. If I can't find a tall size, I have to get a XXL which is made for chubby guys, not tall thin (well not as thin as I used to be :-) ) men.

A good fitting shirt is the hardest thing to find. Pants already come in a variety of sizes (length + waist) so it's not as big of an issue.
Now this is convent, provided I don't have to access my password safe on a mobile device without a USB port. Does Yubikey have an app or work with Google Authenticator?

I know I can use LastPass with Google Authenticator to identify trusted devices. Still not perfect, but perfect security would be too inconvenient for anyone to use.
Actually, you often get to pick your question. If they don't hash the answer, however, you're screwed. It seems doable to me: drop on non alphanumeric (or something), split on whitespace, trim, lowercase, put back together. It beats the hell out of putting in the "right," googleable, answer. Sarah Palin can attest to that.
I didn't say that at all. I said it's easy to break into a bank but getting into a vault in this day and age is impossible. And if you somehow by luck or knowledge get into the vault there are secondary, third, etc security procedures in place such as alarms, self-locking doors, cameras and heat/movement detectors.

A database is a vault. It's for storing things you don't want anyone to be able to access and even if a hacker can access it, they shouldn't be able to do anything with the data that they can see.

Banks get robbed all of the time, but the damage is minimal because the cash available over a counter is a write-down for a bank that keeps most of it's wealth in a vault onsite or offsite.
This will come in handy and is very 'jQueryish' - handling browser BS out-of-view so you can get on with your day.

Hmm... I figured that at the beginning, but I made the donation around June 10 and I could swear the number for STM is exactly the same as back then.

Maybe I should try to contact them and make sure the donation wasn't lost? But that seems strange, surely others have donated during that time as well.
> The offset of each seems to have no rhyme or reason

As others point out, those are lowercase numbers, adjusted to look better alongside lowercase text. The rhyme and reason is in how the digits fit within x-height of the font. If you look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mediaevalziffern.svg, notice how the dominant "circular" part of each digit fits within the x-height. The digits 3, 5, 7 and 9 don't have a dominant circular part, so their lowest arc is considered a descender, similar to how a 'g' or a 'j' is rendered.

How to Completely and Quickly Uninstall Express Assist?

You don't have to be all that envious of the capability to offer this particular one. As pointed out by many people here, it is rebranded term life insurance, and dirt cheap for the typical HNer. Kalzumeus bought a $500k policy for me when I got married. The rate (locked in for the next 10 years) was in the tens of dollars per month. I'm pretty sure it is tax-deductible (confidence for Japan: near total, US: fairly strong), too, but if my accountant has a problem with that it is still in the tens of dollars per month.

Google can afford to a) self-insure and b) afford modestly higher policies at the upper end without a physical and possible reject (my insurance agent was "only" willing to go up to about a million before they started asking questions), but they're not uniquely capable in this regard.
Absolutely! Opening QS data through API will make lead to more tools that would enable people to share, mash-up, visualize and otherwise interpret their own data, gamify the QS process and take the movement mainstream.

Old news. Simple PID controller.
The EFF just lost so much of my respect for this. They're supposed to be protecting the rights of people on the internet, not playing stupid political games one would expect from Congress.

I'd have expelled Craig for that bit of buffoonery, rather than walk on eggshells and tapdance around the fact that he's being a two-faced ass.

You bet your ass I'm mad. This kind of idiocy sickens me, especially coming from a group as supposedly altruistic as the EFF.
Cool! What are your plans to support two-factor authentication? How about a browser-based extension a-la last/kee-pass on the front end?

If you read the posts right after it, you'll notice I've clarified it a few times. Not that the original statement is false for me.

Personally, I don't need to use the alum-salts anymore. Once the bacteria is "gone" (okay... reduced to the lower, natural levels), it's just a matter of using soap and nothing else for me. It's a sign of good health, but your results may vary.

The notion that bacteria #s comes back (in a few days) to the same over-realized levels that you've grown over the previous 20+ years is ridiculous. You have natural balanced levels and types, that get augmented over time via lack of proper management.

Once you kill off the extras, those #s get back to lower natural levels which are manageable by other means (soap during shower). As long as you manage those #s, they stay leveled.

Maybe we're just different. Maybe we're in different environments. Etc.
> That said, what is the current crack rate for SRP on a GPU for 7, 8 and 10 character passwords?

That is a really good question, SRP is actually pretty serious. Based on the small amount I know about SRP, a simple rainbow table brute force attack would take a VERY VERY long time per hash; even on an extremely fast multiple gpu rig. Somebody with more specific knowledge about SRP could probably calculate an exact number.

However, since they have stolen other information (perhaps even some, like the modifier, salt or modulo data, that they have not disclosed) they could possibly create a more advanced and targeted rainbow table attack which would greatly reduce the time it would take per account.
working on it.... sorry guys :/
We'll just have to settle for the next mission to include 50MP cameras.
Breach is generally detected in one of two ways - information is sold and that leads to scrutiny when users write in, and/or you have auditing mechanisms (ip geolocation, for example) which points out behavior that does not seem to be correct.

Once you see this, you run through a full audit of all of your accesses, searching for things that don't fit a pattern. Logins of your admins — did they login at some time that they don't usually? Was there a login from a Russian/Chinese/Unusual IP? Did someone go into something they usually shouldn't? It's not an exact science, which is why it's really hard to do — you may never be sure what exactly was compromised.

Finally, how likely it is that other sites are breached: highly likely. The problem is that when you have leaked email/passwords, there's a large number of people that reuse passwords, and those people can be working at Blizzard, banks, or other companies. Unless they have proactive intrusion detection scanning in place, you don't know until after they've come in, looked at what they wanted to, and left.
I know it's bad form to comment rather than just upvote, but I wanted you to know I'm still laughing with that remark.
Interesting concept. I haven't wrapped my head around what this is most useful for yet, but it seems like it has potential.

I played around with your API and I was actually kind of amazed at how easy it was to get going. (The sample apps helped a lot.) Writing a little bit of code, then right away seeing it show up in the app and user interactions show up in the console is really cool.
I would put that VERY low on your priority list (with the possible exception of the iPad impact). Don't let techno-elites drive you the wrong direction.
Everyone has a right to their opinion but "No Vim or Emacs style brilliantness" followed by "I don't think Textmate deserved all that success --it should have happened to a better editor." doesn't really make sense does it?

What TextMate did do was act as a nice gateway drug to Vim and Emacs for many developers and also paved the way for other editors like SublimeText to prosper. Who would have thought that a one-man text editor startup on a single platform could actually be financially viable?

Somewhat random (but non-trolling!) question: Why is it considered good for Google to give its employees lavish benefits while it's considered extravagant for Wall Street companies to give lavish benefits? I personally feel this is a valid way of viewing things (I may be biased), but I can't quite put my finger on why.
Not speaking for the security team, how likely would it be that this was an attack using reused passwords from another website?

How likely, specifically, is it that someone got into one or multiple employee accounts, found the admin console password lying around (or in an onboarding email that wasn't deleted, or in chat logs), and then accessed the internal admin site? The list of what was taken looks like it's straight from what a Support Rep would need to deal with password resets, OTPs, etc.
He's pointing out (correctly) that this is an entirely cosmetic abstraction layer on top of life insurance. It's like saying "And in addition to your salary, we're also giving you a roll of quarters every month in case you need to pay tolls, do laundry at one of those barbaric laundromats not in the Googleplex, or play arcade games." "So what you're saying is you're giving me $10 a month extra in salary?" "No no, what we're saying is we're giving a roll of quarters..."

Pro-tip for HNers here, by the way: Notice how you responded much, much more viscerally to this emotional, novel perk than you would have if Google had described it as an industry-standard perk with a knob slightly adjusted? Please remember this the next time you're e.g. writing a pricing plan or feature grid.
