Use the same keyring on both devices. It’s just a file, copying it over shouldn’t be a problem.

Then ascii-armor that file and print it out and/or store it on a CD, keep that in a (or possibly multiple) safe location(s). You could even give your brother the key and trust him not to try to crack the passphrase.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good read, and Michael should be so proud of what he's achieved within those 25 years and be excited for the future. I wish him the best of luck.

I think one core problem with Mulholland is that it was supposed to be a tv series. After some time of filming, they realized that wasn't going to happen (not sure why), so they had to wrap it up to make a movie instead. ddg for more details.
PasswordMaker works a bit like that, although in a much more lightweight way, making a hash of the site's domain name + the master password you enter each time. The downside is that it doesn't easily work everywhere due to stupid rules like "your password must/must-not contain punctuation".

I'm also curious how they got the wifi scanning working on iOS, last time I looked at doing it myself Apple had moved/removed the private library in iOS5.
There's tons of credible evidence out there that ecigs do not contain most of the carcinogens in burning cigarettes. Even studies done by scientists with big pharma funding will at least mostly acknowledge this.

Ecigs are clearly not "100% safe" but the same goes for the food you eat and all other types of things you put in your body. it isn't about proving 100% safety. It's about showing a vast reduction in harm for people who are addicted to and dying from smoking.

Speaking of "zero consideration for others", anti-nicotine zealots take a quit or die stance. You would rather ban ecigs and force people back to smoking?

I had to show the result of the game to the player before starting the next game. so, added the retry button.

but I can add a count down timer (may be 3 seconds) after which the retry button will be auto-clicked.
Yes, and don't shake it or your drink gets watered down. The James Bond shaken theory was that he would get a watered drink so he'd stay alert. Personally I think the author thought it just sounded fancy.

Practicing latency hiding techniques might be useful here. Try grabbing a first generation iPhone and scroll really fast in Safari, for example — you’ll see a checker grid underneath the actual content. iOS interaction emphasizes movement and fluidity over visual clarity or pixel perfectness; while it is actually acceptable to drop granularity it is usually frowned upon to drop frames. Our Choice (the famous Al Gore book on iOS by Push Pop Press) does the same thing. iBooks does the same thing (PDF only; its ePUB part just chokes). Even GoodReader does the same thing.

Several general strategies off the back of my hand: a) precompute images in the background, store and decode the important bits on the fly; b) use proxy images unless the card is visible; c) a combination of both. Sounds like a fun problem (for solving it the first time).

On layout — Autolayout is slow, period. On a collection view with square cells of identical sizes, autolayout takes over five seconds to make up its mind. (This is from a random iPhone 4S.) If your design is not super flexible, it might make sense to set up a few styles up front and reuse them again and again. Even drawing unstyled text into framebuffers is heavy if you do it often on dynamically generated content. (For example, 72 small labels for a scrolling date picker chokes at <30FPS.) Sometimes it’s better to design the issue away. Even a well-written piece of software may look awkward and work clumsily when it resizes during rotation while a square thing will generally work. The last ditch is to crossfade, but I digress.

The last thing I think is very relevant: layout taking a long time is actually also not a big deal if you only do the initial layout for two or three views you end up reusing. Small, frequent memory allocation (and drawing) during human interaction kills the joy. Hopefully, if you’re using an UIPageViewController, you’re also reusing the view controllers and its views.

Side note: I have not seen a great way to cancel work halfway done or is no longer necessary on iOS at the library / framework level. NSOperation has cancellation support which is basically twiddling glorified (hopefully) thread-safe boolean flags that get checked periodically. Sometimes people decide to throw the results away in the completion handler.

I solved this by using the "Insomniac" approach - if you play a silent sound every 30 seconds or so, the scheduler will reset the sleep timer and the app will keep working. It drains the battery in around 1 day though.
This is a problem mentality. Obviously the sentence was not harsh enough, because he still ran a huge cocaine smuggling operation. I wonder if the penalty for running a cocaine operation was death (like in lowest crime rate Singapore) if he still would have done it? If he did, Id bet the next person would not have.

It is impossible to predict the murders and overdose deaths that a drug kingpin ultimately causes. Also we have robberies, scams, shoplifting, assaults, Law enforcent and legal system costs, children who follow same the vicious cycle ETC...

The mindset someone of saying that a sentence like this is too harsh is weak, new age, wussified emotion (as opposed to sound and proven logic). Do you think that being a drug kingpin is something that you could ever do by accident? He made a conscious choice. A decision, over and over again until he was caught. His benefit outweighed the risk in his mind. If anything, the punishment should be heavier.

Look at a country like Singapore, they have the lowest crime rates on the earth. Crime has fallen every year for the last 20 years. Why? They are harsh on crime unlike us wussy western nations. Many Asian countries share a similar story.

It is clear if you listen to any of Santos' speeches, that he is playing a victim. He never takes responsibility for his actions. All he can do is take jabs at the legal system. He remains a deviant. I bet that if his money dries up and his wife leaves him that he will go back to a life of crime. He has done a lot to help prisoners become successful, and I agree with a lot of what he says, but I think that he is sorry for being caught, not for his crimes.
My opinion is that gamification is like cooking - you don't just to cook - you learn to cook specific things.

I'd suggest you follow the Lean path in applying gamification:

1. Determine what behavior you want to enforce (Measure)

2. Determine how you will enforce this behavior (Plan)

3. Build the functionality required for the above (Build)

You should also decide where to draw the line; i.e. are you building a game or are you gamifying features to enforce certain behaviors.

You should definitely read Jeff Atwood's post on gamification here:
http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2011/10/the-gamification.ht...

Here are some good examples of gamification:

Minor nitpick: I'm pretty sure that ratio would kill you immediately. You would inhale, and then spontaneously die.

Which kind of supplements your point. Really nicotine is pretty scary stuff if it's isolated.
First, it's awesome that this rather important subject is getting attention, and kudos to Jen for giving it thought and providing a perspective [1].

Logging adds value once an account is compromised, so is a contingency measure (minimising impact). Solving this problem requires mitigation (minimising probability) as well as contingency.

Many comments here suggest the use of PKI. PKI is part of a solution and, as with logging and audits, requires more.

PKI's biggest problem is that it doesn't scale. The question then becomes one of issuance. Self-issued certificates have no credibility so cannot be trusted. That problem is solved by using a certificate authority that can be trusted.

That leads to the next question, which is whom to appoint as a certificate authority (CA)? This thing [2] should scale, so my certificate must work world-wide, with any web site and, while we're at it, offline in meat space.

That makes canidates like my bank or a credit check agency bad choices, because they haven't the reach. Credit card companies like Visa, AMEX or Mastercard have better reach, but that only accounts for a tiny percentage of the world's population, because it excludes the poor.

The only viable choice then becomes the organisation that already deals in identity - government departments that issue passports, ID cards and driving licences.

Of course that's just national. The solution to that problem is to federate identities between governments. Awesome. First part of the problem solved [3].

The next part of the problem is anonymity, and it's various variations. This can be solved by using a privacy-enhancing credential - a problem that was solved by Stefan Brands at Credentica [4].

The tradgedy is that while these solutions exist, are mature and proven, there is just not enough incentive to make them a reality.

Some closing notes: Any good identity system must adhere to all the laws of identity (http://www.identityblog.com/?p=352/#lawsofiden_topic3). Technologies like OpenId, Persona and OAuth don't even come close. SAML and WS-Federation do a much better job of it, but both SOAP/XML-based. Which makes them unpalatable to many. There's an oppotunity in there somewhere...

[1] Logging has been done - just not at the scale Jens envisions. Many military and intelligence systems inform the user of previous acvitivy on login. The better ones use geolocation to tell the user where the most recent logins occured.

[2] "This thing" is really an identity meta system.

[3] This technology exists in the form of WS-Federation and, to a lesser extent, SAML (which relies on the browser, so doesn't work at the service level).

[4] Stefan Brands came up with U-Prove, which was open-sourced by Microsoft after they aquired the technology. IBM have also come up with a privacy-enhancing technology (PET) called idemix (identity mixer). An important attribute of any self-respecting PET is that it must be claims-based, so that it functions in a world of federated identities.
Hi Sandro --

I was about to flag this as spam, then noticed that this is your own site and you've been a long time lurking member. If this is a new release you want to show off, you might get better results as a "Show HN" type post. You're probably aware of the community norms, but self-advertising is best done delicately here to avoid setting off the spam alarms. But voted up and good luck!
What does auto&& tell us? (C++11)
I cannot upvote this enough, thank you for going to the effort of actually checking the source for the full claim.
As it turns out, the numbers are BIG! so a factor of 2x doesn't matter. This is literally how it works. The only thing that matters in venture capital is being in the small number of companies (15 out of about 4,000 per year) that generate 97%+ of the returns. Those can pay off 1,000 to 1. Fiddling around on terms or bargain shopping or refusing to pay up for quality all reduce your odds of being in the winners, which kills your chances of winning as a VC.
Broken. Input doesn't work on OSX 10.7.5/Chrome. It did for a few keystrokes and then died, doesn't work after refresh or anything.

Concept reminds me of a game I played on Amstrad-Schneider cpc 464. It was a space invaders game with your spaceship being in several positions at once. Each position corresponded to a key on keyboard. When you pressed it, you fired a shot and corresponding key for that spaceship slot was changed. Essentially, that's how I learned to type fast.

The problem with social media is low information to noise ratio and given the sheer amount data available it becomes quite difficult to mine the relevant information. Also the rapid pace at which new information enters the system makes the task much more tedious. The media and other sources in their quest to provide news at the earliest more often than not compromise on the accuracy and/or authenticity of the news.
And finally the verification issue, last week who would have thought that the AP news on white house attack was a hoax (due to account hacking) and not a true.
It's not the same equity. Quality is not distributed equally among the sample set of companies. The great startups (as judged retroactively via returns -- e.g. Facebook and Google) often (but not always) can get multiple competitive offers from top-tier venture firms, so having some abstract theory about how you're going to only pay low prices significantly damages your opportunity to invest in the companies that are going to generate all the returns.
We tend to see the opposite. The high-quality young founders tend to be pursuing a single great idea. The high-quality older founders tend to decide to start (another) company first and then try to figure out an idea worth pursuing. The fact that the older founders tend to have more domain experience helps them with this strategy.
My point was that if we could change every site on the internet to use public keys we wouldn't be having this conversation because they'd already be doing the hashing right with bcrypt.

Sure you can get some sites to use it, and sure you can come up with some way to secure a few savvy people. But it wouldn't elevate ambient security if you expect every site on the internet to change.

Instead my proposal would start securing 80% of the internet by fixing three codebases.
If this were a pill, you’d do anything to get it
There aren't that many qualified people over the age of 50 with the energy and determination to mount another startup effort again. It happens, but often people who have done well in their careers simply won't subject themselves to that level of trauma again.

Plus, the marvelous yet infuriating problem that we have in this industry is that the people who succeed young often make a lot of money and check out.
IIRC PostHaven didn't exist/hadn't launched at the time that blog post was written.
Those are in central Tokyo I think? There are a few decent places here (I've just moved to Setagaya) but outside of central Tokyo (I was living in North Tokyo) it's a different story. Even around here, if you just walk into a random chain, I think you'll find the coffee is markedly worse than Starbucks.

I'm not saying the Kissatens generally in Japan aren't great, they are! I love them to bits. They serve good food are independently run and have a really nice casual atmosphere and friendly owners, and unique character quite often with children and or dogs running around...

But the coffee often isn't that great, they can be quite smokey (Starbucks is the only nonsmoking coffee shop I've found in Japan) and the vast majority don't have wifi. I can see why a "digital nomad" might be attracted to Starbucks you know what you'll get and you can hang around working without feeling bad.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll try and check them out.
a? Eh? New's to me. I will inform the person sitting next to me smoking an e-cig that it's smelly.

That's unfair actually. I really rather like the myriad of scents he has. Mint, butterscotch, raspberry. I kinda wanted to try it, but I don't actually smoke anything.

b? maybe? The smoke is the issue, really.

c? maybe? At least the smoker I know deliberately pushes down the nicotine ratio he gets from his supplier.

You can argue for erring on the side of safety, but the level of safety you are talking about is unreasonable. What we can say going in, what we know about how cigarettes cause cancer, suggest to us strongly that e-cigs are safer. It is reasonable to act that that assumption, even if there is a possibility that something horrible would be revealed about them later.

Crime is up.

Statistics are complicated and there's no simple truth, but the number of reported crimes have risen dramatically since the 1950s (when immigration started). [1]
As soon as you start discussion why there is an increase you're holding a very hot potato.
For example, if you look at the armed robberies in 1987 and compare with 2011, the number of armed robberies by Swedish citizens are constant, but the number of armed robberies in Sweden by foreign citizens have quadrupled in absolute terms, or relatively speaking, the percentage of armed robberies have gone from 40% to 70% foreign citizens.
From 1975 to 2006, violent crime is up 200%

Some say Sweden's crime rate is out of control [4]

Mind you, I still perceive Sweden as a land with a low crime rate. It seems international crime statistics are very hard to compare. For intentional homicides, the rate in 1997 was 1.77 for Sweden, 0.54 for Japan, and 6.80 for USA. For major assaults, the rate in 1997 was 37.93 for Sweden, compared with 20.91 for Japan, and 382.31 for USA. For rapes, the rate in 1997 was 14.71 for Sweden, 1.31 for Japan, and 35.93 for USA. For robberies, the rate in 1997 was 75.04 for Sweden, 2.23 for Japan, and 186.27 for USA. [5]

The Starbucks I've been to require a code for wifi.
There are dark corners of Open XML. In particular, one has compatibility settings with names such as "autoSpaceLikeWord95", "footnoteLayoutLikeWW8", "lineWrapLikeWord6", "shapeLayoutLikeWW8", "truncateFontHeightsLikeWP6", "useWord2002TableStyleRules", "useWord97LineBreakRules"

Reading the spec, I get the impression that they made a serious attempt to document what these mean. However, some might still find it troublesome that, in practice, the only way to figure out what to do in the presence of such settings is to look at how those applications displayed text or, in many cases, how some Office version emulating WordPerfect or an older version of Word handled them.

Also, some will feel these should not have been part of the spec, or that the spec should be more explicit in stating that new documents should not write them (but then, what is a new document? Say, I do File-New, then paste in a few pages from a document having those settings, then save? Alternatively, I open a document, delete all content, then do File-Save As?)
It was perhaps unnecessarily blunt, but that is the root problem with most of these leaks: Someone who doesn't know what they're doing implementing a scheme that is only slightly more secure than storing the passwords in plaintext.

It turns out LivingSocial was actually using SHA-1 with a 40 byte salt [1].

> LivingSocial never stores passwords in plain text. LivingSocial passwords were hashed with SHA1 using a random 40 byte salt. What this means is that our system took the passwords entered by customers and used an algorithm to change them into a unique data string (essentially creating a unique data fingerprint) – that’s the “hash”. To add an additional layer of protection, the “salt” elongates the password and adds complexity. We have switched our hashing algorithm from SHA1 to bcrypt.

A 40 byte salt? "_additional_ layer of protection"? "elongates the password"? It's clear they thought they were implementing extra security (hey, let's use a 40 byte salt instead of 16, mega protection!) but failed miserably because they did not know what they were trying to combat.

The word 'ownership' should be replaced by 'responsibility' or even 'accountability'.
I looked at a bunch of the free apps and yours. Nothing about your app really jumped out at me.
What's weirdest is the Windows "bit rot" claim, that they finally fixed not having to reboot once every so often by Windows 7. In my experience that was fixed almost 14 years ago with Windows 2000.
I do believe that doesn't change anything; having it available on a proprietary 32-bit application that happens to run on Linux does not make it web-based. As a person who still uses Firefox (on Linux), denoting "works in Chrome only" as "web-based" reminds me too much of the good old IE days.
> some might still find it troublesome that, in practice, the only way to figure out what to do in the presence of such settings is to look at how those applications displayed text

Well, presumably, if you want to give your word processor the ability to "autoSpaceLikeWord95"--for a business use-case, not just as a feature to tick off on a checklist--then you already know what it means to "autoSpaceLikeWord95", because your clients are pointing to documents your program has created and saying that right here, there, and here too, the Word95-like autospacing is missing.

Basically, these compat flags are suggestions to activate the compat functionality it turns out you needed to build anyway; if you're adding compat for some old version of some app because the hook is there, without any of your own clients needing to preserve the old behavior in their documents, you're Doing It Wrong. It would be like Firefox parsing <!--if IE7--> tags just because there's a standard for how IE should handle them.
So who ever cuts is always worse off since they always get the smaller piece of pizza.

Unless they can use tricky psychology to make the small piece look bigger, possibly.

Fair to me is I thought obvious, you cut it then flip a x sided coin.
