Oh come on, how hard is it for MtGox to implement TOTP and tell users to download Google Authenticator? It's not really that much hassle to enter a code each time you want to make a transaction, and these things wouldn't happen.

Sure, the user was being stupid here, but MtGox didn't do them any favors either.
If I were a scammer, 1. I'd pretend to need processing fees for this and processing fees for that (perhaps I'd pretend that I needed to bribe some officials by your additional money), 2. prolong this process as long as the mark ("brand holder") is willing to give you money, 3. PROFIT!!!
(The actual "formal application" need not actually exist.)

Of course, this is all based on the assumption that it is a scam (of which I don't have any data either way).

Same thing applies to politics. Don't beg for change. Make it. (And right now we need more P2P.)
Please keep in mind:

- All these products have a lot of knobs to set. Performance depends on these knobs. It depends on whether you do batch sends(which some can do), whether you do transactions, whether you chose at-least-once, at-most-once etc. delivery, queue prefetch sizes, I/O worker size, and numerous other settings.

It'd also be interresting to see qpid-cpp in there as well, not just the Java version.
Yeah, I don't personally use Grove.io, I've just heard of it, but I am active daily on four or five different IRC networks (and tens of channels altogether).
Andrew Welch is a brother of Phi Delta Theta fraternity, NYH chapter, at the Rochester Institute of Technology (of which I am also a member.)

Right, but the point being made elsewhere in the thread is that agencies usually can approach or exceed your goal rate, while not requiring you to share your secret sauce (ie: your leads).
Yes and no.

No technology is going to be a cut and dried solution to all our environmental problems. None. Period. Not even Mr. Fusion.

Ultimately the question is whether or not electric cars are an important stepping stone along the line to a future where more environmental problems are solved or significantly ameliorated compared to today. I think the answer to that question is probably yes, even with the extremely flawed electric vehicles of today (although with enough evidence I might be convinced otherwise). However, we very much do need to keep in mind that this is at best a baby step, and the work remaining outweighs the work that's been done by a huge amount.
As an ex-program manager on major chip projects, I would be astonished if open-source alternatives exist for major design tools. GMs can complain all they want about seat license costs, but they will stick with a proven tool until somebody proves they can meet the same quality metrics.
A real mutiny would be rejecting the product owner!

How much of that 10^24 is required to power earth's ecosystem though? Not that this is relevant now, but I could see it becoming relevant when/if we move towards leeching 10^21 of that energy for human needs in a hundred years - which isn't really much in global terms. Mankind might need to move towards a level 2 civilization earlier than some people imagine. That or we figure out large scale fusion energy.
In the article they said the study included 'well to wheels' in their calculations, so it's not just one side of the story, they factored in all you're talking about.
Yes, but we have to assume the majority of people are not going to be particularly educated on stuff like this. Implementing simple checks before confirming a transfer out of an account should be a given.
What I'm not getting is how a running executable can log into a website and initiate a transaction. It won't have your password right? Or is it just a keylogger to catch your password?
It's the same all over the world. The mega-rich, like Zuckerberg, benefits from importing more workers. With more workers available to fight over jobs, salaries goes down.
Here in Europe it's the same. Companies are importing low-wage labour and unemployment is 15-25% in countries like Spain. Still the mega-rich say we need more workers from Africa.

I ask this: How come the Zuckerbergs of the world never thinks their own job can be done for a lower wage?

In my experience, debugger tools built into the browser run much faster and with much lower overhead than Firebug.
Isn't this exactly what Bitcoin was created for - to allow unregulated access to currency? I guess people don't really realize what unregulated actually means - and nor do they realize why you really do want regulated currency.

This kind of thing happens all the time with real banks, but with real banks, all transactions can be traced and reversed. Law enforcement can follow the required documentation to find the owner of any account on a global level. This is exactly what Bitcoin was created to avoid.

Well guess what? When you avoid the regulation, you take the safety of the currency into your own hands. MtGox should not refund this in any way shape or form. The problem was entirely his fault. He did not secure his MtGox account with available two-factor authentication. He ran untrusted code at full permission on his PC. He needs to take some responsibility for his own use of an unsecured currency on an unsecured website with unsecured authentication and running untrusted code.

Zero sympathy from me. Maybe it will be a wake up call to others to actually think about their decisions. Shouting about the 'nanny state' and using bitcoin, and then turning around and looking for a nanny to help him out when he goes around it is pathetic.
ASUS EEE PC had a 5 second Fedora boot in 2008. This was with an SSD; into a graphical desktop with disk and cpu idle; network manager was ready but the network wasn't up.

As for looks - desktop wallpaper with instructions and big red borders.
It's a nice example, but I think it's flawed. The steps are: folio -> individual -> human -> or -> alternatives -> things.

So, is "folio" the only (five letters) word in the dictionnary that has "individual" as the second word of its definition?

Is "individual" the only word in the dictionnary that has "human" as the third word of its definition?

I doubt it, so their way or identifying words is by no mean bijective, hence it's not a valid one.
Blockchain.info wallets are pretty nice, they do client-side encryption with separate log-in and spending passwords (so your private key is encrypted inside an encrypted .json file and the first password decrypts only the outer layer).

You also get email (or dropbox or file download) backups that you can use in other Bitcoin clients in case something bad happens to blockchain.info.
Not really. Most banks I've asked would not refund if the victim did not take proper security measures, and the OP in this case most certainly did not.
If true these stat provide a compelling point of argument for expanded government research funding and less protection for the private insurance system. Do you have a source for it?
but bitcoins are like a digital cash - people don't expect to be compensated when their cash get burgled (at least, not by a bank).
If I recall correctly, Firebug had to do nastier and nastier black magic in order to hook into the correct parts of the rendering engine and provide the data it had. This meant both that Firebug was a poor experience to develop for, and also that it constrained Mozilla to not break certain internal interfaces, even though they weren't designed for public consumption.

A tool like this really does need to go into the browser as a first-class thing, because the information it needs access to is very low-level. So, the Firefox team is making their own. As a side benefit, it should be much easier to write, since they have the power to actually change Firefox to make the information they want easily available.
It's never absolutely guaranteed, but it's not like it's some phantom principle. With a bit of awareness, in most cases, you should be able to predict the likelihood that your position at your present employer will continue to exist (and the likelihood that your employer will continue to allow you to fill it).
Wow, I hadn't noticed that about Java before, Just checked ezyzip.com. The sig is expired, but it only says that right at the bottom of the dialogue, and it still allows you to run it without a problem. I can imagine many people just clicking through that, as it seems almost identical to the standard Java applet warning.

Oracle really need to change that, there should be flashing red lights (alright, maybe not flashing) on that dialogue, otherwise any previously valid signature on a Java applet will be happily trusted by the majority of the internet.

Also, I noticed that in the comments on the bitcointalk site, that many people are blaming this on windows. I know the payload is an EXE, but has anyone analysed it and checked if this applies to other OS's as well? If this is (as the author claims) a Java 0-day attack it may well work on other operating systems, and for other purposes. I personally suspect this is a matter of the author accidentally granting permissions to an app that he shouldn't have, but it sounds like this "AdobeUpdate-Setup1.84.exe" could do with some analysis.
So the problem is that healthcare innovation is a public good, which like all public goods is underprovisioned if you don't take steps. We approached this one by converting it to a private good within the U.S. But that's not the only solution.

A natural entity to pay for drug development is health insurance companies, who would save a lot of money if drugs were patent-free. But they don't in fact fund patent-free drugs, since their competitors could free-load.

Bernie Sanders proposed a solution: tax the insurers so none can freeload, and use the money for drug development, and keep everything patent-free. The insurers could come out ahead. (Iirc he had a slightly more complex arrangement that didn't require the government to decide who would be funded.)

It's worth noting that patents don't only reward inventors, they also increase their costs. The book The Gridlock Economy talks about this, and mentions one biotech firm that thought it had a cure for Alzheimer's. It infringed on thirty patents, and each patent-holder thought it had the most important part and charged accordingly. They had to abandon the whole thing.

This is the musical equivalent of trying to improve the English language. Sure there's room for improvement and your ideas may be good ones but there's a massive established standard and you're not doing your students any favors by teaching them this over the standard.

I think you need to go back and read what you replied to.

Having Java installed but with Java disabled in your browser, like I suggested, means Java applets won't run in your browser at all. You'd need to download and execute the .jar or wrapper (which would be a executable anyway) which is no different from downloading any normal executable and running it.
Aside from the fact that EV are plugged into dirty power sources, lithium in their batteries is a huge problem as well: [1] [2].

The reality is that we know how to build efficient charging systems, and we can even build some efficient power sources, such as wind turbines, nuclear reactors, and even solar panels. The problem is that we don't have a good way to store all this energy so that we can make a vehicle go. A compressed air vehicle [3] might be a better design than a lithium battery one, but it's certainly more dangerous. Other batteries just don't seem to measure up to lithium in terms of charge/discharge cycles and/or energy density [4].

The best we can hope for is a better energy storage system than what we've had up to now. Ideally, something that's clean to manufacture, recyclable, efficient, and long-lasting, but that's been the battery pipe dream. After all, our current cars still use the lead/acid batteries which have not changed much since they entered production in 1881, aside from the invention of a sealed version in the 1970s.

"OpenCoin maintains a single global ledger; transactions are confirmed as the network’s servers automatically check the ledger"

Ohmygod - so some fools would want all the worlds transactions to be cleared by a single company's servers.
Imagine the kind of political power that company would wield.

I will violently fight against such a system. It would be even worse than credit cards.
For all the talk about the design and user behaviors. The author uses some kind of pseudo-highlighting to indicate links. I would not of figured that out if the highlighting pattern didn't match that Wikipedia style so often used.
An example of the normal attitude regarding such "incidents": http://mpex.co/faq_r.html#23 and also 24. I tend to agree. The less mainstream adoption there is, the less support tickets you'll have to answer.
Background; I'm currently running a system which at peak runs with about 15 million messages per hour using ActiveMQ, with several producers and consumers on the same topic.

Another vote for RabbitMQ. We're currently using a small RabbitMQ cluster that is averaging 5000+ msgs/sec and its not straining the sytem. At times, we've experienced bursts approaching 10,000 msgs/sec without any issues.

We have around 30 producers and 45 consumers spread out over a wide range of queues & exchanges.

Whilst ZMQ is generally faster, it does require more effort to be useful. Whereas RabbitMQ, I believe, provides the best of both worlds. Blazing fast messaging combined with ease of use and setup.
Something I made and open sourced 10 days ago. Quite similar to this, except, very few on HN bothered to take a look.

Incidentally, for those not in the know, Uplink has recently been ported to iPad and Android tablets:

Can you really not think of any good reasons for students to intern at a large engineering company other than the paycheck/a fear of being unemployed?
Trivially, yes, it is true. You can also find additives that are approved in the EU but not the US. What we're looking at here are additives that fall close to the "safe" line in terms of supporting research, and that's why different regulatory bodies disagree about them. A fair analysis would be "Differences in banned substances between the EU and the US", but a sensationalist quack like Mercola has no interest in fairness or honesty.

The article also includes a section where he says "here are some of the most common food additives to watch out for:", followed by a list of ingredients many of which are harmless (unless you have a specific sensitivity), and most of which are not banned in either the EU or the US. But because of the context in which they are presented, a casual reader could easily conclude that sucralose and MSG are dangerous additives banned in the EU.
The Sun 4e26 Watts of energy. If the human population swelled to ten quadrillion people (ten million billion humans) and human civilization used all of the power of the Sun each human would have the equivalent power of the nuclear bomb that destroyed Hiroshima every half an hour, continuously.

To say that such levels of energy usage are "academic" and "purely hypothetical" is an understatement.

Interesting... what in the market makes it so that VCs can agree this is a problem but keep perpetuating it?

Efficient or inefficient, there must be some market force at play here.

Is it that that's where the largest amount of fund-seeking companies are at - seed stage - and so money is being put into that stage because the deals are there and then it's already committed so more companies seek it and around and around?
He is also a better writer than I am. What I was trying to suggest is that picking an example that is easy to clearly write to is also very important for introductory vignettes. Otherwise, you're left trying to explain things that you weren't even trying to explain. (I've done this in class many times and it's a pain in the ass. You end up spending a fair amount of the class off topic.)

I will note here, however, that in this thread OP agrees with you.
"Oh come on, how hard is it for MtGox to implement TOTP and tell users to download Google Authenticator?"

Not hard, and they did it a long time ago. The user didn't opt in.
Sourceforge was a lot less clunky and inaccessible 10 years ago. In '04/'05 they did a big site redesign that basically killed it. That's part of why github took off, a lot of people were waiting for the next old sourceforge.

Nothing to say a side project could not turn into something much more.

Personally, I see the two complimenting each other.
ie:
- Want to see SignalR in use beyond a small example? Then jump right into JabbR.
- Want to see some not so simple code which utilises SignalR? Then head to their GitHub repository.
- I'm sure SignalR has had enhancements/bug fixes found through the use/development of jabbr.

From what I can see, it looks like a great project that has a lot of potential to grow.

Jabbr has a bunch of content providers built in, so if you pasted a link from say imgur, you (and others in the chat channel) will see a preview of the image. Which is pretty cool, and not something you'd experience in IRC.

Condos differ from time shares. In a condominium, you own 100% of a unit and everything inside the boundaries of that unit is your responsibility (repairs, damage, upgrades, etc). You also have exclusive access to that unit (nobody else can use it, unlike a time-share).

You own a fraction of the land that the building sits on, and a fraction of the "common areas" (lobby, swimming pool, parking lot, etc). You are responsible for contributing for the maintenance of those areas, or paying assessment fees to a management company that will take care of those areas.
Great post. The internships at big name brands are perfect if you want a good job at a good company after school. However, the best jobs at the best companies (which may be your own) are going to be reserved for those that learned in 3 months what takes people at a large company 1-2 years to learn.

As Adam Pritzker from GA said, "The cost of building technology is dropping so low that people can actually afford to take the risk to learn by doing something that, in our minds, is a much more effective way to learn than anything else."

Build what, though? Most of the ideas young programmers come up with on their own are unoriginal--the world doesn't really need another to-do list app. Getting a job or internship first can expose you to actual business problems and domain knowledge, plus give you some good contacts and references, and help you save up some money to use when bootstrapping your own product. Working for someone else is not all bad, even if building your own thing is your ultimate goal.

If you download the blockchain from the P2P wallet client it always takes forever. You should download the blockchain once, put it on a USB drive, and then copy it into .bitcoin before you bootstrap a new machine with a wallet.

There are also sites that offer downloads of tar'd versions of the blockchain, or torrents. Pretty much anything is going to be faster than downloading via a bitcoin client.
Usually these exploit kits will use useragent and the reported plugins to decide what versions of the page to send. If this is a pro job if you were running an exploitable version of java (which a majority of people tend to be) it would push an applet that used an exploit to load its stage 2. But if it decides it doesn't have an exploit for you it takes a different approach like scareware or prompt to run etc.
