Indeed, and one way to improve that is to separate the random variable that represents the population by different random variables (say male immigrant with at least master level studies, female of less than 30 years, other males, other females) and calculate the success rate of each.

They may have a different probability distribution, even if the population average follow a normal law (central limit theorem)

If you invest is the most achieving group instead of distributing your investment across the population, you will have better returns.

There's example code here, http://home.kpn.nl/pt.kleinhaneveld/carbon/example.html, for what it's worth. Pretty pedestrian, from my perspective.
I don't see any recursion. Recursion would be an infinite loop and presumably a good parser would catch that.

DDoS protection is expensive. Unless it is economically feasible for you to pay for the protection, most sites don't have it until they're a high target.
Definitely true. It's pretty cool to think back and imagine gas companies, airlines, or basically anything that has now been commoditized on an industrial scale and imagine them being built as a two or three person team. I'd love to read a book on it, although I wouldn't be surprised if most of them were started by wealthy land owners or government sponsored undertakings in the first place. That other private bus line article on the front page looks interesting.
I'm wondering how long it'll take for someone to print acid on it.
I've been put into a similar situation before, but I couldn't find any convincing evidence that I wouldn't be extorted in the future, even if I did pay.

What's the logic behind this? After all, DDoSers probably aren't upstanding citizens.
I like this.

I think most of the innovations and value you see here are for the consumer which are still real values and, i think, real important, but I agree that there's an amazing amount of innovation to be had underneath or behind the scenes in a lot of industries... particularly transit / travel
How hard is it for the reporter to find out which university did this? By not knowing the school or the people involved, this article seems less trust worthy.
I am in the market for a tablet. I have an HP Touchpad running CM9. Im going to Mexico in a few weeks and will give it away to one of my cousins.

I have the Nexus 7, iPad, Surface, and the (smaller potential) iPad, as viable options. I also looked into Asus' Transformer line.

My Macbook is on its last legs. I purchased an iMac for home use earlier this year. I want to replace the Macbook with something equally as productive. I mainly use it for email and managing customer relations.

The Surface Pro entices me, but lacks concrete information. Nexus 7 has a great price, and I like Jelly Bean. It is a little smaller than I would like. The iPad is a solid piece of hardware, but im not the biggest iOS fan. With that said a cheaper tablet, bigger than the Nexus 7 and smaller than the iPad, would be great. I hope the smaller iPad can fill that niche.

Then I go back to the Surface... I'm tempted by the ability to load to apps on the same screen. The keyboard integration looks very slick.

Too many choices for me. As a consumer, I feel like the tablet market is what I dreamed of as a kid.

As a side note, I am unsure if the Surface Pro fits in with the rest of the group. It aims to be more of a "laptop" computing experience with a touch/stylus input method. Which I like, but am skeptical on the practicality of it.

I should wait a few more months...
Look again. There's no actual recursion going on. It's fairly trivial to identify recursion in DTD entities.
I don't know if it's common but I can confirm it happened to us at least.
Was posted on a Thursday Afternoon. Govt works dead slow.. So don't expect them to be locked out till Wednesday?
yes they were.
I very much doubt that any of the complex passwords were bruteforced.
I don't like this being listed on ycombinator. I have now just gone to a site with all the passwords on, I was expecting an article about it. I do not like the fact that I have just browsed that page!
Interesting that the same group of people who were proponents and pioneers in NoSQL now dismissing libraries and new implementations to "solved" problems with "you can do that with {blank}"

The claim is that this app can check whether your web site is "down". However, checking whether a web site is really functioning isn't something that some trivial app (judging by the $800 price-tag for the entire business) can do. For example, if my web site sells something, it's effectively dead if my payment processor goes offline. However, an app to test this from an externally visible URL would need try to buy something with a credit card before it could figure this out. All the other pages on the site could work perfectly, but the site would be effectively "down".

One approach would be to have a cron job on my site that pinged the payment processor every few minutes and e-mailed or texted me if it didn't respond, telling me exactly what was wrong. (I'd still need a way to know if the whole site went offline, but that could be done with a trivial little app on my phone.)
It's a DNA printer. It can print vaccines. In the same way your printer at home can print a recipe. But the printer can also print a book, or a google map, or a photo. The DNA printer can print DNA - for vaccines, for antibiotics, for insulin, for HGH, for fluorescent proteins, for enzymes, for biological circuits, for viruses...
I propose a simple experiment:

Print out a copy of this paper. Take it to the nearest university campus. Ask math grad students and profs to look it over. I suspect almost all of them will ask if it's some kind of joke, or simply tell you it doesn't make any sense.

That's the filter we expect to apply. But the journal this was submitted to doesn't use a math filter; it uses a "did you pay me $500" filter, which isn't really useful for identifying legitimate mathematics.

This looks great, would love to use this instead of ssh for my AWS servers, but not so sure about opening firewall ports 60000-61000. Currently only 80, 443, and 22 are open, that's a big addition.

Is that SOP for mosh, or do you guys proxy through a mosh-only server to your actual servers, or something else?
Yes, I could use that approach as well, especially if rdp was supported when docked.
Thats too much. The nexus 7 is the same size but only 199.
Great article. The analysis is correct and to the point.

This reminds me of an article about entrepreneurship in a small town in Germany, where they are known for high technology materials engineering. One interviewed businessman was shocked at the offers he received from large, multinational companies. His family business had begun generations ago, and his goal was not to get rich quick, but simply make a living doing what he enjoyed.

That's my definition of success. To each their own.
That's simply not true.

I do it in the laboratory every day. It requires the sterility of a good commercial kitchen. It requires some sugar, some water and some vitamins. It requires some very specific conditions and specific strands of DNA to get out exactly what you want. And often you want a purified product. But honestly, your Marzocco espresso machine is essentially the same tool (FPLC) we use to purify proteins in the lab.

Fusion doesn't really happen in your kitchen. Biofactories happen in your yoghurt if you do nothing more than leave it on the counter.
I don't think $329 is low enough to break into the lower market segment.
Neither Marcie Rathke nor the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople is willing to pay the ‘processing charges’ levied by Advances in Pure Mathematics, so we will never know if the work would actually have made it to publication.

Don't the Googs and FBooks do almost exactly that, for employees? Not much of a step to do it for the paying public. Maybe the fiction of some association would get by current regulation/monopoly.
I highly appreciate what you're doing for me. This is something that is very important to me, and every bit of advice and criticism is worth gold.
Well at least I am surprised how many of them had strong passwords.

Things like "recruits.membership" for the recruits maybe not so much.
I don't see how they could possibly justify their iPhone prices if this were the case (which are respectively $649, $749, and $849)
Ah, I must have confused this for a storage algorithm, rather than a message passing algorithm. Doesn't "distributed hash table" refer to, well, a distributed hash table? One that stores key/value pairs? What good is it if the values are lost right after going in?

Don't worry, citizen, you'll have plenty of time to explain it to the proper authorities.
nope - because once you have the (open-sourced) recipes it will be QUITE cheap. Do you really think your Phusion master mix is expensive because it has a lot of material in it? You do realize you can purify your own polymerase for thousandths if not millionths of the cost of which you buy it from Invitrogen.
So long as that somebody is not the police actively looking for a crime without a warrant, then that should not violate the 4th amendment.

I feel that I should emphasis that I am not proposing a change to existing law. I am merely advocating the point of view that new fancy technologies should, by default, be considered unreasonable searches.

What's wrong with 3 and 4?

It appears that, in general, the FBI staff are setting reasonable passwords. There are a few passwordNNN types but the majority are adequate and, in my opinion, would hold up well against a brute force vector, which is the primary purpose of password complexity.
Thank you for the feedback! We are going to support the "search by programming language" feature, soon. We also plan to provide a more generic way on how to add an open source project. The current state is a quick and dirty prototype due to the limitations of the participation in the rails rumble competition (a 48 hours hackathon).

There is no practical distinction.
I wish you had not done this. I did not want to see anybody's passwords, or create any sort of record that I myself downloaded the password list (which i did not.) Perhaps this is my fault for even clicking on the comments thread of this article. And of course there are many reasons to call me paranoid. Nonetheless, well, I will be moving on now!
'martinced' doesn't say that the country is "runned by dishonest incompetents". He says :

- "leave your country"

- "Flee France. That country doesn't deserves you"

- "it's one of the most socialist country of the planet"

He use the word 'socialist' everywhere and in a meaningless ways.

We can perfectly have a rational talk about the problem with this law without all this nonsense.

I did say "apparent" contradictions.

And anyway isn't the idea of a "special case" another way of saying, "at certain scales/speeds the rules of the former don't apply in the context of the latter"?

But we digress...
Miniaturization is expensive. It would be also 2x-3x more powerful than a iPad mini
Why do you think there were such requirements?

Amongs the passwords I see: marklevett, looskwoooish or even qwertylolqwerty.

Browsing the list the only think I could think they enforced was a minimum character count. I see no whitespace or underscores either.

So I guess Clowns.with.clown.makeup would've worked.

Anyway, the real issue is: why were those passwords stored as plaintext?
This is exactly the catch with respect to function invocation method that I was trying to point out. It seems that in a call back method, `this` gets bound to the global object. I suspect it is because it is called with the same mechanism that is used for function invocation. That being said, I did not use this example because one needs to implement a callback to see the error. My example that I chose in my article was designed so that anyone could just create the JavaScript, fire it up in a browser, and see the error for themselves.

I do however intend to use an example similar to the one you have presented when I cover closures and scoping in JavaScript.
This is a party bus service to allow bar hopping in a car-dependent city when passengers are too intoxicated to drive. It only runs on Friday & Saturday nights between a couple of suburban bars & the downtown & university district of Detroit. It might well be a good business (and certainly better than drunk driving), but it's not a meaningful substitute for functional mass transit.

Public transit systems require subsidy to permit service at unprofitable times of day & to unprofitable regions of the city, interconnecting parts of a region to permit greater economic activity. Roadway systems are likewise unprofitable on their own. Most transit systems have at least a couple lines that are profitable.

In the New York City area, there is significant "dollar van" jitney service & a large number of private bus companies, especially in New Jersey that provide commuter service, rather than serving as a substitute for drunk driving. Dollar vans of varying legalities are also common between Chinatowns & Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods, as well as down Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn.

Flatbush Avenue also an easy place to observe the downside to privatized transit run by independent contractors-- the vans usually speed & make dangerous maneuvers to move more fares more quickly, with the safety of other motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists often disregarded. This could be improved by the NYPD enforcing traffic laws, which would be my preference to replacing a useful service.

Unfortunately, nearly all American cities have onerous regulation on selling automobile rides to other people, while it's incredibly easy to get a driver's license and private automobile. This raises taxi prices & means there often isn't timely bus/jitney service between popular destinations, which motivates a lot more people to purchase cars & drive them.

The cost in car ownership is also mostly in the depreciation of the car & insurance (which is monthly, rather than per-mile), so once a person purchases an automobile because they can't make a few trips by walking/biking/transit, they'll make a lot more trips by car.
I agree actually. I have no reason to actually want to see their private information. I do want to know what happened.

Exactly, and that is how it normally is on ycombinator. If there's a link to the actual data on the article, then whoever wants to go to that, go ahead, but I stay away.
That's a lot of dollar signs. It would be hard to keep track how many I'd typed each time I log in.

I was skeptical about the iPad (either you want a phone either you want a computer, but why something between ???)... It turned out well for Apple finally and they have found (or created) a great market.

But now we have something between the iPhone and the Ipad ? Seriously....
I hope for them they will find people who will want to buy it (not only because it's a new Apple product of course...), but it's hard to believe, even for these marketing genius.
To some extent every protocol which does not transfer message and payload size on a fixed offset in header can be called "crazy" as being vulnerable to all the problems with live parsing, terminators and unpredictable memory requirements.

At that price, if you want an iPad, it's easy to justify paying $70 more for the iPad 2(non retina but so is the iPad mini) or the iPad 3 for $170 more.

If you want to explore other options, the 9" Kindle Fire HD at $299 or 9" Nook HD at $269, or 7" Nexus 7 are similarly pretty competent. Perhaps Apple is trying to mitigate the cannibalization of the larger iPad, but this does seem expensive.

The fact that some of those passwords appear very strong also means they weren't bruteforced and therefore most likely stored in plaintext. I guess even the FBI have sloppy programmers...
Yeah, which is why traditionally a LOT of languages, particularly early in their careers, have compiled down to C. Really aside from JVM targeted languages, it still tends to be the trend.

So it is pretty weird for that to be highlighted as the big distinctive feature.
I more so blame the administrator who allowed them to have these passwords (and of course whoever was storing them in plaintext).

The reality is that employees can't be trusted to manage password strength. But it's trivial to implement a validation scheme that forces employees to be over a minimum length, use special characters, etc. Of course this is also not great -- and inevitably we'd see Pa$$word123 -- but it's at least a starting point.
The thing is that with Google, we are not the consumers, we are the product. That is true to a lesser degree even if you pay them.
I haven't used pastebin...
True, but FPGAs are harder to code for, and more expensive. I work with both platforms and find them about as easy to code on, with the Prop costing a little less but requiring external parts to do ADC/DAC.
All iPads are sold unsubsidized, most iPhones are sold subsidized. It's a lot easier to soak the mobile operators than it is the consumer at the store trying to decide if they should buy luxury item.
Twilio rocks.
I don't think so. YAML by itself doesn't have any entity expansion or include capabilities -- you'd have to rely on extensions or something else that isn't on by default. The reference (alias/anchor) mechanism just rebuild the serialized graph, so there's no expansion going on there. That said, I'm sure there are quite possible implementation issues, like most software.
Apple has always proudly sold its products at a premium so I am not surprised. They will market it out with some snappy music and celebrity footage.
I should have maybe clarified that i too have moved to Fastmail (about a year ago) and am a happy customer. But both the price and the UI leave a lot of room for improvement, i.e. competitors.

And yes moving mail out of Gmail was a pain because of the weird IMAP structure they use.
Fwiw, I have an Android Nexus phone and 10.1" Galaxy Tab and found i rarely used it, and phones just aren't big enough for watching video, typing anything but tweets/short SMSs. But I recently picked up a Nexus 7" and i've found a lot more uses for it and i'm using it daily. It's the right form factor for slipping into the pocket to carry around, you can type adequately while standing/sitting (the 10" i found cumbersome), good size for reading most websites, more comfortable to lounge with on the sofa etc.

Yeah the price is a lot less but many people who buy Apple products are probably pretty price insensitive, and there is def people who would prefer the smaller size
It's half principle and I think that I would worry about things like that. I have no idea what kind of monitoring tools and methods the FBI have and I don't want any attention because someone linked a load of passwords to ycombinator and I went to it expecting a fairly inocent article :)
