My goodness, you're a piece of work. Do you usually call random people over the internet "too ugly" when they disagree with your opinions?

I support the guy with the limited sets of information I have combined with the experiences of friends who've been stalked and had to file restraining orders and call the cops MANY TIMES against the persons "wronged" by them.

I'm "callous" to unthinking devils' advocates who ignore all the details of any case so they can construct an alternate version of reality and then argue from that position. I care about victims, not you personally.
Probably because it's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. A marketing page like this doesn't require any realtime updates.
It's reasonable to expect disabling javascript to have a negative effect upon a webpage which is performing some relatively complicated function. If I was running noscript, with no whitelist, and tried to use Google Calendar, I'd expect reduced or zero functionality.

But Twitter's main purpose in life, for end users, is to display text and links. There's absolutely no reason why disabling javascript should cause a link to be inaccessible. This is a legitimate complaint.
We already have a company that does this with real money: Paypal. How do you feel about how they adjudicate disputes and enforce outcomes?
The shorter the copyright, the less incentive there is to create something timeless and lasting (if copyright terms provide incentive to invest in creative work). If spoils are only provided for life+70 years, then an artist may have little incentive to create something that could be enjoyed for a period longer than that.
>The financial system bears much of the cost of fraud, and avoids externalizing the cost of poor security.

Funny, I was under the impression that it was customers of "The financial system" that were footing the bill for fraud.
C# also has LinqPad as a REPL (http://www.linqpad.net/), but more is better in this case.
I am working on a site with the ability to update embeddable graphs via API and a python library/CLI tool at https://graphit.io
How? By paying higher APRs for their credit cards? It's a competitive market. If companies are going to guard their margins by passing fraud costs to users, the companies that do a better job of mitigating fraud will capture market share by offering lower rates.

I submit that that hasn't happened because financial institutions don't in fact pass these costs straight back to consumers.
No, I'd agree. I've stopped building <noscript> tags into my sites as virtually every browser supports Javascript now. If folks are smart enough to turn off Javascript they're just as capable of turning it back on.

I personally block Flash by default (mostly to stop audio ads), and I have no problem turning it back on when a site requires it.
"most SAAS projects" are not the ones setting the bar.

The video games people set the bar. And they are shit-hot. And they produce stuff that even a 4 year old can use.

And the problems the video game people solve are more complex than your typical schlubby entreprise app. In the case of MMORPGs, infinitely more so - and they have to deal with compliance and accuracy as well, because they are dealing with stuff like credit card data.

The problem is that the entreprise software buyer is not the user, he just gets to inflict the stuff on others - a perverse incentive.

I've worked on entreprise software in more than one big-name company, and I'm embarrassed by what they ordered me to deliver. One time a friend of mine, who had to use my company's malfunctioning stuff, even phoned me up at work to curse me for it.
I'm more than a little curious at what folks are thinking this will prove. I mean, to a large extent this feels like it would be akin to watching a master photographer switch from film to digital. The vast majority of the craft is hard to see at the implementation layer.

I mean, consider everyone's favorite sort method. Seeing it implemented in any language does little really show how amazing the original insight was.

I rush to say that I am highly interested in seeing this. Nor do I question what Carmack is looking to see. It is strictly the talking heads around this that have me somewhat... off.
Is there a monetization strategy? Seems like I see things like this popup every couple months. Is there really a demand?
I'm not sure why people think that the only possible compromise is breaking SHA256 or other algirithm. It's perfectly possible to create trivially breakable cryptosystems using these algorithms.

Not saying that the bitcoin blockchain or protocol suffers from this, but implementation and protocol flaws are often a far more fruitful source of compromises. If BTC has none of those then colour me impressed because at some point or other most of the big name systems (OpenSSH and OpenSSL spring to mind) have had revisions for various exploit-related reasons. We won't know for some years of course.
This Crawling Inchworm Robot Can Be Printed Out and Folds Itself
No incentive?
What about the incentive of enduring name recognition, creating timeless works, and creating art? There is incentive that transcends monetary gain and for many artists that is what they're after. I am not saying they shouldn't be compensated for their work, if they desire compensation.
I think he would be more convincing if he could come up with some attacks that were unique to Bitcoin

"Find any combination of inputs (say, of the executable script that Bitcoin runs by design) which gives you an RCE on one instance of the satoshi client, fan out the attacker-chosen code to the entire network, root (a large percentage of) the network at once." is my usual example of a hypothetical attack. People keep telling me that this can't happen. Your call on whether you find them or me more credible. I have no particular dog in that fight -- no change in the Bitcoin price affects my net worth. (If Bitcoin imploding would cause me to be impoverished, I might buy a pair of the rose-tinted lenses that some folks seem to be wearing.)
Brilliant, time to port it to android. New weekend project: Beer Compass.
I think about the opposing sides to plenty of stories, including this one. I don't "bravely" stumble into conversations with baseless crackpot theories and then suggest that others are wrong for not taking them seriously.

It ended badly. That doesn't justify stalking, harassment, and the lies she tried to spread about him, and pushes sane persons towards thinking that perhaps it ended badly because she's not grounded in reality, not because he was somehow cruel. Again, if the stuff she tried to spread in internet postings were true, I would have much more sympathy for her. Since they're fabrications, everything else seems to point towards her being unglued.
It's usually more likely to happen when you have a board that is firmly controlled by the people who've invested the money in the company, and, when they see a significant change in market conditions (or makeup of the company) - decide that their ROI will be greater if they withdraw some of that investment.

I'd be interested in knowing, though, what the precise financial transaction looks like. Dividend? I would think that they would try and avoid those tax consequences.
That's such a strange thing to say. When artists create their work, do they rank them by the estimated number of years of their legacy, and discard the ones that fall outside of the copyrightable timeframe? I mean, are you implying there are artists out there who aren't creating works because they feel that this one is definitely a "life+75" piece of work, and so what's the point if all I get is life+70?
I'm really interested in peoples opinion on Celery vs Others when using Django.

I'm about to hit a point in my pet project where I need something but I havn't chosen my approach yet. I've ehard Pyres is better than Celery.
This is obviously just one example of a link in Bitcoin that is weaker than SHA2. An even weaker link would be the appsec quality of the largest Bitcoin transacting sites.
I haven't tried most of the alternatives mentioned on this page. I primarily use:
[a] the command line.
[b] git gui, (occasionally) for reviewing commits.
[c] meld, for all merge and diff-related tasks.
[d] gitk, pretty much only for viewing the history of a specific file.
[e] SmartGit, for cherry-picking and anything more complicated than my memory can handle.

There are very few times that I would not prefer using a GUI, when the alternative would be typing all or part of a hash. The hash is for machine consumption, not human consumption: let the machine deal with it. To that particular end, I have found SmartGit to be excellent, and would recommend it.

Re: complaints about GUI tools: Someone is going to have to tell me why you would be using git via a remote ssh session instead of having a local copy. I am sure there is a logical scenario for that.

I think it just has different problems. I don't think there's any way to create a perfect system, which is what many people seem to expect. It does solve several problems that no other currencies have managed to solve, but has cropped up some new potential issues in the meantime.

While I think the problems inherent to current currencies are well known, I think some of the problems with Bitcoin still remain theoretical, with at least 50% of them being due to misunderstanding of the system or that its very early and we still lack some infrastructure (enough exchanges, etc)

> I wouldn't bet on that.

I don't need to wager, and can speak with authority based on what I know (which I'd prefer to leave vague). There are two vectors into a Linode's filesystem from the perspective of an internal attacker: having root on the Xen host or gaining a login on the Linode. Knocking over the database and Web server gives you neither unless the person reused their account's password as their root password, in which case it's behind a cryptographic hash and subject to the typical rules there. If you own the database, you do have LISH access which gives you the equivalent of a VGA console; if someone left that console logged in, it's a vector as well.

The only vector HTP would have had in the general case would be bouncing the Linode. It's a fairly sufficient air gap, in a way.
My guess, it is treated like a stock buyback of preferred shares.
LINE is cool and trying to expand outside of Japen.
Yeah, I mean, it's supposed to come off as showing off, right? "Sure, we're so crazy good, that we can take out name.com and linode just cause some script kiddies pissed us off, no sweat. Don't mess with us. And we're so in it for the lulz, that' SURE we'd take out linode and name.com just to get some script kiddies, and not bother trying to sell the CCs or anything."

Or, they're lying. I mean, they could be lying about the whole damn story, who knows (not me).

Off-topic: After reading that tiny white text on black background and returning to HN I can see stripes going across the screen.

It is the first time a site has managed to actually hurt my eyes, ye gods.
I'm afraid your analogy is stretched a little too far for me - that your open door leading to someone physically wandering into your personal living space is the same as some corporation with tens of millions of revenue a year that has some script kiddie sitting in his mom's basement seeing some Linode stuff come onto his screen. I guess when I think of some kid snooping around some corporation's computers, I'm supposed to compose a mental image of some thug physically invading my own home. Yes, I can see why corporations want people to think this way, but it's a rather silly metaphor as far as I'm concerned.

Okay, so, when you notice your DNS latency going up by 5ms... how much investigation do you then do to confirm exactly what caused this, and have a very high confidence (how high?) of ruling out it being caused by a MitM on the DNS? Really?
No, it wouldn't. People with high incomes like to pretend that worthwhile uses of that money -- student loans, school for their kids, a house in a safe neighborhood -- somehow shouldn't count toward their spending. But that's the whole point of money! You get to spend it on the things you think are worthwhile!

"I'm not wealthy! I spend my entire (large) income every month!" is a profoundly silly thing to say.

IANAA, but "return of capital" is non-taxable.
I wouldn't expect many if not most people to know that 'chattel' is a basic legal term. I would generally expect most people not to commit the logical error of assuming that just because two words are commonly used together, whenever one word is used it must be in the context of the other word.

If I say: "I had to tape my rims back together so I could see" is it relevant that Google's first completion for the word "rims" is "rims and tires?"
Please let me know an example of works created by a future incentive. As far as I know, in many cases, timeless and lasting works are created either for a current incentive or for something completely independent to monetary incentives.
Anecdotally, I heard about him regularly when I lived in DC (2009-2011) but never after I moved.
It's a fashion to bash copyright laws but lot of people forget that without economic instrument called copyrights it would be almost impossible to produce/consume works that bears high risk/investment.

If you had a house, you don't expect it to become part of public domain after 100 years. You neither expect wooden table you made in weekend or jewelry you designed to be automatically in public domain after X years. Infect you would probably argue that government has no right to confiscate your property and it should rather be inherited by whomever you desire forever after your death. Why music/books/software that you create should be any different?
> So for the hackers to get the decrypted private key, then either Linode must have royally screwed up and kept the decrypted key in-memory during the rest of the month (which seems rather unlikely),

They bill you the moment you add a Linode, automatically, if your credit is not sufficient to cover the new Linode. Careful walking that assumption too far; I think it's safe to say the key was kept in memory.
The worlds' most sleep-starved students
I work in Enterprise Software. What you said has relevance in some companies, and is completely different in others. Really hard to make broad generalizations like that.

Mobile Apps are now a huge part of Enterprise Software. Adoption rates are high in the younger people, and lower as the age climbs.

The average age of the people in the vertical (Retail vs. Oil and Gas) have much more to do with the adoption rates than Enterprise Software vs. startups.

There's a lot more I could speak to, but I don't agree with so much of your premise that it's hard to figure out where to focus.

Even the questions aren't clear. Should we focus on ERP/CRM systems as the basis of the question, or across the whole enterprise? They are very different questions with different answers, and adoption rates.
That is hard for me to make sense of, it is saying that ojciec comes from PIE átta, meaning something more like male guardian and becoming thus a synonym of father? And that father and vater come from PIE ph₂tḗr which means more directly father?
Once you wrap your head around one (embarrassingly, it took me a while to really understand what celery was doing -- I had an easier time getting comfortable with the multiprocessing library), it shouldn't be difficult to pick up another and compare them locally.

Celery does what it's supposed to; that's about all I can say for it. I'd suggest writing a few simple jobs and testing them in similar environments under as much load as you can. Look for things like consistency of logging and running tasks exactly once across multiple consumers despite the semantics of the queue you pick.

And what exactly does UK having ambulances in Turkey actually prove? It could just as easily be a bunch of do-gooders getting bored of eating soy and protesting against GMOs trying to help out the Syrian refugees they know would be there.

The link you've posted about Mahdi has absolutely nothing surreal except for the idea that the CIA might have paid him.... to help overthrow Gaddafi. That's the dictator that NATO actually was dropping bombs on, so why should it have been surprising that the CIA was helping push that along, exactly?

And websites are also not just text and links anymore. Twitter would probably have to put man hours into making what ever work for noscript, they don't just do something for no reason. But spending effort even thinking about users without javascript is in my mind a waste of effort.

Anyways I agree that he should still be able to see text/link. But I turned on the site in Google Chrome, with javascript turned off... And it worked perfectly fine. He however has "noscript" which does not work that way, and does stuff preventing the site from doing normal functionality... Completely his fault.

What's the double standard?
User input is trying to kill you until proven otherwise. And even then, it probably still is. If you accept anything from a user, treat it like you're carrying spent nuclear fuel around your application; that doesn't just mean form inputs, either; sometimes you have to wear gloves that even consider files read from the filesystem as suspicious. There are numerous attacks on temporary files if implemented incorrectly.

Damned near every exploitable security problem in an application can be traced back to this one simple rule. XSS is a common one. The ones that don't conform to the rule are rare and magical, like unicorns, and usually involve something exotic like hardware side channels. If you take input it will be abused, so plan accordingly. That occasionally manifests in unexpected ways like timing attacks, in which case an attacker repeatedly sends you lots of carefully-chosen input to deduce something based on how long it takes your code to reply, much like cracking a safe. It's a basic attack on a string compare, which is O(n). This simple code is vulnerable:

def price_multiplier(form):
if form.input == 'super-sekrit-coupon-code':
print >>browser, "100% discount applied!"
return Decimal('0.0')
print >>browser, "Sorry, that's an invalid coupon!"
return Decimal('1.0')

A timing attack would try to deduce each letter here, since the string comparison will short-circuit once it finds a wrong character. Using a simplistic model, say I sent 'a' through 'z'; 's' took 10 time units to respond, but the other characters took 8. Now I try 'sa' through 'sz', and go from there. As a thought exercise, try to imagine a few ways to prevent it, and consider the pros and cons of each; now you're thinking in the security mindset.

Securing an infrastructure is another story, but the rule is applicable with the occasional clarification to everything there, too. There are domains of trust even within your own organization; malicious employees will try to harm you, as well, and you get little to no warning of those. Do your interns need root on machines containing customer data? Employees are users too.
If space is infinite, it is entirely possible that we are ridiculously close to the norm.
Well, now, that doesn't take much sleuthing. But I'm not sure I get your point.
I agree that this feeling of being on the cusp of something big is ultimately just that, a feeling, and one should not try to be more specific about it. However, it seems to me that there is at least one type of situation where that feeling is grounded in fairly hard and verifiable facts, namely, when the idea in question is a scientific invention. Rudolf Diesel had a pretty good grasp of what the advantages of his engine were, and Tesla and Siemens knew pretty well why and how their AC power system was superior to Edison's DC. I'm a little irritated by the fact that this kind of scientific evidence for the value of an idea receives practically no attention at all in today's treatment of startup businesses, like the Lean Startup movement. Today, we ask the customers if they want AC or DC in their homes, and if the answer is DC, we pivot to that. Perhaps it would have been worth to stick with the AC idea a little longer, to fight for it, and to let its benefits sink in with people.
Or that there isn't a norm at all!

My impression was after reading this is that I expected to be able to drag the graph by holding cmd, option, ctr, or shift with click and drag. It turned out to be shift.

I think I get this expectation from autocad, labview, mathematica and potentially other products as well.

It seems the "51% attack" can be mitigated simply by waiting for 6 or more confirmations before sending off merchandise or in the case of an exchange, allowing withdrawal of funds. Those who can't wait that long can rely on 3rd parties who attempt to take on fraud in exchange for transaction fees, similar to the current credit card system.
That is not evidence that black market transactions make up the vast majority of the economy. You need actual numbers, or you're just guessing.
