That's just your paranoia. I wish I could speak more freely than I already have (see my other comments) but the fact is, crappy software, written by crappy contractors all tied to a 53 year old system of record.
That seems a little over dramatic...

If anything, this is a decent-sized loan, with a very safe, variable repayment amount that is defined to always be a small amount of her income, and the collateral is a company that may or may not succeed. More than that, the investor only even takes the company if she's dishonest. There's almost no downside for her here.

If you want to be concerned for someone, I'd be concerned about the investor.
I think your mistake is to suppose that we use the adjective 'barbaric' to somehow demean or dehumanize its practitioners. Ie - because they are black/brown/muslim that we allow ourselves to use this language.

That's 100% wrong (and is well addressed in the OP). Barbaric refers to the act itself. If Hungarians or Swedes decide to chop their girls' labia off, I will call that barbaric. And if it offends someone - I don't give a flying fuck. Just like we do not care if slave-owners are offended because we consider their practice barbaric.
There are multiple password cracking techniques. Under brute force longer is strictly better. However, there are sophisticated dictionary attack programs that are also seeded with leaked password lists and do a variety of clever substitutions to come up with many potential candidates from each base word. For that type of attack, a password like: passwordpasswordpasswordpassword may not be a great bet despite it's length.
That's a great question to pose to your elected representatives who vote for tax increases.

Right. We blow a crater in our economy, and begin to listen to Keynes when he says that government dirt should be shoveled in as a land-filler of last resort. We shovel-in a fraction of what was lost and then freak out when the hole is not refilled and ready for pavement.

First, most of the debt racked up was not even remotely related to stimulus. So it's not like we have $6tn in stimulus. But mostly, even if it was, the hole we blew in our economy was much larger than even that $6tn.
No. The Avalon ASIC only does a double-SHA256, and only attempts to brute force 4 of the 80 bytes in the input data. It cannot do any password cracking at all.

If you want it to, you would have to produce new wafers with a modified chip logic.
It depends on how good your password is

"A user-selected eight-character password with numbers, mixed case, and symbols, reaches an estimated 30-bit strength, according to NIST" [1]

2^30/(3M attempts/s)=358s

A completely random 8-character password from a space of 64 characters (upper, lower, number + 2 symbols) is 48 bits:

3^48/(3M attempts/s) ~= 3 years

Multiply by 64^N for longer passwords (so >180 years for a 9 character password)

The reason for the difference is that user-selected passwords are (on average) not as good as random passwords.

They were downgraded on "willingness" to service their debt. Not ability. Notice that after the downgrade, interest rates went down. What does that tell you?

My question was what's the relationship between nominal interest rates and real interest rates. Naively, it seems to me that we should care more about real interest rates than nominal interest rates (in which case why do we care about inflation, which just changes the measuring stick?).

Well, I didn't downvote you (I can't downvote replies to my own comments). I don't think you're being offensive, just loud and naive. Hectoring people with 'Your fear, your lack of resolve, your lack of confidence in our way of life' is an emotional argument. You're accusing people who have a different opinion from you of having an inferior character without bothering to engage with the actual arguments we're presenting.

I still use their wifi sync, but it never worked very well.

The problem I have (which isn't THAT MUCH of an outlier) is that I have an MBA, a MBP17-desktop, an iPad, and an iPhone. I want to be able to use all of my normal/boring/personal/medium-sec passwords from all of my devices, want to be able to add new services from any of those devices, and I want to be able to do password updates from any of those devices. Ideally without ever connecting cables -- my iPhone/iPad get plugged into a charger in the car or by the bed, but not connected to either of the Macs.

All of their sync seems to be built around one Mac, one or two iOS devices; the USB, the older wifi, etc. Dropbox is the only solution they offer which is many-to-many.

I'm also essentially terrified of corruption or losing the data file, so any but the most cautious and transparent sync scares me.

> "Correct horse battery staple" and using it as your password, is better than using "p455w0rd!1"

It's nearly identical.

There are around 170,000 english words (including all the obscure ones you've never heard and have no idea how to spell).

Number of 4-word combinations:

170,000^4 = 8.35 * 10^20

Lowercase (26) + uppercase (26) + digits (10) + special characters (36) = 98 characters

98^10 = 8.17 * 10^19

An order of magnitude difference.

And if they start bruteforcing with the simpler words (which you used in the example), there are only 5,000 - 10,000 of them, the number of your combinations drops dramatically:

5,000^4 = 6.25 * 10^14

10,000^4 = 10^16

So unless you use very obscure words in your password, you are doing much worse than you think.

Except that would not show lower energy usage. To preserve backward compatibility, the cores would need to keep the logic that analyses data dependencies to continue delivering good performance to legacy code. To make any difference they would need to both do what you say, and also define some protocol to instructs the processor to disable the dataflow analysis unit entirely (to save energy). But that protocol would be invasive, because you need to re-activate the unit at the first instruction that is not annotated, and upon faults, branches, etc. The logic to coordinate this protocol becomes a new energy expenditure on its own!

Really the way forward would be to extend x86 completely, with a "mode" where all instructions are annotated and go through a different pipeline front-end than legacy x86 code. But Intel already tried that with IA64, and it burned them very hard. I am not sure they are willing to do it again.
yup I think Steven Pinker has been writing about this lately, the past couple years or so. maybe longer.
Everything seems like small incremental updates when you are too close to it.

If we expand it to "mobile" (ie, tablets & smartphones - and don't forget how recent smartphone usage is) then it's pretty easy to argue that mobile is a bigger leap than anything you listed given how it has made computing resources usable by the vast majority of the worlds population.
Well, I mentioned the specific example of passenger airliner falling out of the sky because the odds of survival on that are so law, as opposed to takeoff/landing accidents (like the one in Bali the other day) where the odds of surviving are much higher. Also, I am perfectly aware of the disparity in the odds. you don't need to explain that to me.
I agree with you that it's necessary to look at evidence. But the evidence actually pretty overwhelmingly supports the general Keynesian framework for a financial crisis like this. Look at the data on austerity measures/spending vs. growth worldwide in this crisis (http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/18/austerity-and-gr...), or any data on similar circumstances (the US "double-dip" in 1937 during the Great Depression, before WWII deficit spending brought us out of it, Japan in the 90s, etc.). The real question is, where is there ANY evidence/what is the model for the opposing view? Does it in any way match up with what really happened over the past 4 years? (because the AD-deficit/Keynesian view does)

Responding to the complaint about Obama's economic advisors being wrong is easy - they were wildly optimistic. However, plenty of economists including Paul Krugman were saying this at the time (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/09/opinion/09krugman.html?par... - note the date Jan 9, 2009, before Obama was even sworn in). The math is pretty basic - according to the aggregate demand view of the crisis you have a combined housing/financial shock that totaled at least 6% of GDB. The stimulus was MAYBE 1.5% of GDB, and that's being generous with assuming that high end tax cuts are just as effective as outright spending money (I would argue that they are not, since in a saver's economy, much of that money is just saved straight away). The Obama stimulus package was 4+ times too small to address the magnitude of the problem by this model; no one who has this view of the world is surprised that unemployment is still high (the only surprise was that Obama's advisors had such a rosy-eyed, not data-driven view of the world. They deserve a LOT of criticism for that).

Your "fall back on models that we do understand and have a lot of data for, like how businesses and households manage debt" is completely at odds with reality for two reasons. One is that it doesn't really imply what you say it does; most rational, not capitally constrained businesses/households (and the US is emphatically not capital constrained - bond yields are as low as they've ever been) invest when they have absurdly low interest rates - you're basically getting free money from the market, it's not a rational response to cut back in a situation like that. The second, and arguably more important, argument, however, is that the government occupies a fairly special position in the economy, since it alone among economic actors will never run out of money. Therefore, the government has the unique ability to act in a counter cyclical manner - it can counteract the collective saving of businesses/households to stimulate demand during recessions, and pull back when the private sector is roaring. (You give me 5% unemployment and 4-5%/yr GDP growth and I will be all for govt deficit reduction)
You make a great point - businesses have get money from bankers who expect a return. If government had that restriction on raising debt we wouldn't have a problem.

We are 5 years into massive deficit, and massive debt, how much better are the schools? Execs and engineers are migrating back to Detroit now? The biggest problem is that for all that debt, there is very little to show for it.
Slipped my mind that you went to Github. Definitely looks a lot like Bootstrap as well. Though if it wasn't inspired by Dropbox, there are nevertheless some strong similarities. Namely the signup form, footer and the call to action for the paid product. I can see developers not understanding what I mean, but surely a designer must!

Not trying to be critical by the way. I'm a huge fan of every company/framework/person etc mentioned here. I'm just really interested in the form, function and messaging of homepages.
Fair enough on the fact that the US can print Dollars -- that addresses the Greece argument, but not the Weimar Republic one. Why is the inflation concern invalid?

I see a web app that lets the police point to a spot on Google Maps, and the app provides a list of files stored that would show that spot in video or film. And on the maps screen, show the angle of those pictures. Then allow the police to highlight the file, and show the picture source point, and the V of the picture window.

If that makes sense.

Can you elaborate on why you feel IB and TDD are incompatible? I haven't found it particularly difficult to drive out behavioral tests for views/view controllers powered by NIBs (at least relative to Obj-C TDD in general), since any actions or subview settings you declare in your NIB will be exposed programmatically as well. I'd love to hear about what pain points you have.

He doesn't say 'this is slavery'. So, which of the points listed would have to fail for you to consider this concerning? If she was only getting $10,000? If the variable repayment was 50% or 90% of her salary, or a fixed small or large amount per year? If the investor got the company if the 10% over 10 years did not meet some minimum amount? Never?
Most economics isn't science- we lack the data. That doesn't mean that the best model is derived from families or businesses; the characteristics and objectives deviate too dramatically to support that claim.

The government is a facilitator of commerce. It's not built to make a profit. It doesn't have the trust circle of a family. It is fundamentally political by mandate and by nature. It couldn't be less common!

I've actually used this system as a student in a programming language design class, in which we had to implement semispace and mark-and-sweep collectors. I had the misfortune (unique in 2 sections of the class that semester) of running into a bug in the framework, but I believe that got fixed, and it was otherwise pretty dang cool.

I'm actually seeing N/4 in that hashcat.net/forum thread. See hashcat.net/forum/thread-2238-post-13424.html#pid13424 , or alternately just the last line of the original TFA, which says "reduce [work required] from 8000 to 2002".

I'm not sure how this is "least charitable", it seems to be pretty much the only interpretation. Either way, I'm not seeing the significance at all. I look forward to a reply from atom to penultimate post in that thread (#24) in which guinndupont explicitly asks for the real-world significance.

And I agree with Thomas and miles, that the vendor response is wonderfully direct, informative, reasonable, helpful, non-weaselly, etc. Props to him.
I have the utmost respect for systems that have been running for decades without major rewrites, but having said that, I imagine there is a rock-solid core that has, literally, withstood the test of time, surrounded by semi-compatible systems that accreted around it since the mid-80's, with most current systems only touching this peripheral mass rather than the core services.

I've had contact with many systems that have their cores running on IBM mainframes with peripheral systems running on .NET. I fear those.

Airlines are a pretty shitty business: commodity product, many competitors, low margins, high capital costs, high regulatory risk, high exposure to ever-rising oil prices, etc.

I read an interesting blurb somewhere recently (forget where, sorry) that pointed out that it doesn't actually take that much capital to start and run a (small) airline. You can lease a plane and start out serving only one route, and you've got yourself an airline. Of course, how much capital is "a lot" is relative... let's just say that I won't be starting an airline anytime soon. But still, apparently it's easier to break into that business that you might think, looking at it from the outside.
If they did it that way, then because the attackers had access to the keys and the server code for an unknown period of time (up to maybe a couple of days), they may have been able to either extract it from memory or use the private key with someone else's credentials to decrypt some or all of the payment information.

I'm really trying to avoid speculation at this point -- we simply don't have enough information to make smart guesses -- but I think we can reasonably conclude that nobody at Linode was manually keying in a password every time there was a charge to a customer card, and therefore it's not insanely paranoid to cancel any cards associated with Linode.

Really the most annoying thing here is Linode's obtuseness about the attack and their processes and what's at risk, and if I end up moving to another service (as at the moment I'm inclined to), that will be the reason -- not because they got compromised, but because they valued their own butts over their customers'.

They're a VPS service for chrissake. They could explain in very technical terms exactly how manager passwords were stored and how the credit card information was stored & accessed and what other billing information may have been compromised -- a full disclosure -- and most of their customers would not only understand most of it, but they would appreciate it.

Sorry, I kinda went off on a tangent there, but the more I think about how this has been handled, the less I feel like I can trust them.
I'm surprised that even ran. I've had issues in the past where go build refused to compile because it detected the potential for a recursive function call (this was in a table of functions where one func referenced another, so there wasn't any practical risk of getting locked in a loop even though the compiler detected a theoretical risk).

I'd probably rank that compile time 'error' as one of the most annoying I've seen to date because the code was actually fine, it was just the compiler pre-empting a non-existent risk. So I had to rewrite a chunk of code just for the sake of over-eager error catching (this is also why I wish go build would just warn about one or two trivial issues instead of flat out fail)
Specifically, it is while at a gate, potentially blocking traffic (because I don't remember all the gate codes, I keep them in 1Password). It's not while actually driving, but close.

Thats a great post, but the thing is the phrase "we apologize for any inconvenience this may've caused" has a very useful psychological purpose: Diffusion.

Lets assume that I know you are mad, possibly pissed. Possibly so pissed that you are going to move your business away to someone else. By saying "sorry for the inconvenience", I diffuse your feelings....make it sound like "I'm sure you preferred to get there earlier....but no biggie, right?"

By giving you a sincere, heartfelt apology I validate all those reasons of why you are pissed. Gives you justification for your further actions.

Regardless, I don't see why it even matters to AA in this case. Thanks to FAA/Local Airport they have de facto monopolies for certain routes, in reality they don't need to apologize at all. (god, I wish competition existed in air travel).

Student loans actually come on less friendly terms; with loans, the amount of money you pay doesn't depend on your post-school income, so the financial burden falls equally on everyone regardless of their ability to bear it.

Imagine, hypothetically, that the student loan system were replaced with percent-of-income contracts like the one in the OP. This would give investors an incentive to maximize the total future income of the students they invest in, minus school cost. There are some problems with that, but frankly, I much prefer those incentives to the ones created by the current student loan system, where the most profitable strategy is to get students in as much debt as possible.
