Authy wants to 'make data available to nearby bluetooth devices' and – even if you don't allow for it – asks for Bluetooth to be turned on. What's the reason for this requests?

I'd appreciate an application directly in the app. In doubt, I simply deny such requests.

Well according to another post in the front page, being on that front page is worth about $3K + some intangibles if you play your cards right, so there is the answer right there...
Indeed, since this is an internal system validating the uni's own emails it could easily query the uni's MSA for valid addresses.

Although for a set of 80k items and long-running processes (fcgi or wsgi) you could also load the whole thing in memory directly and not bother with a custom `__contains__`.
It gets even more confusing:

Authy asks me for my mobile phone number – once to 'securely identify' me and once to create an account, apparently with Authy.

Why is an account necessary for such an app? Can't I use Authy without an account?
> Weird.

I'd say frightening.

This is HN. Readers are people who understand and produce technology. People who also understand the nefarious potential it holds, if abused.

The situation just doesn't compute.
It's taken me a great deal of time and a large amount of consideration to distill my feelings about journey into language that well-enough eloquates how I felt playing it. At the end of the game, I truly felt like I had had a transformative experience. I would be embarrassed of it if it wasn't so true.

In regards to gone home, I really really wanted to like that game. I wanted it to be more. Not gameplay wise, but in what it aspired to tell us about the human experience. The resolution of the story felt so cheap and derivative, I could barely believe it was the same game that I had been playing up to that point, with its multifacted characters and spotlight on the ennui of the American family. The end just felt like a lazy wrap up of an ABC Family movie, and it was so disappointing it poisoned the entire game for me.
Try using arrow keys, it does exactly that.
If by an 'archaic contextual experience' you mean real world objects and by 'unnecessary tradition' - body movements, then I don't know what kind of future you want to live in.
This is very, very true. I started doing the Stronglifts routine about 5 months ago, which is very similar to Starting Strength, and I'm amazed the progress I've made. The routine only contains simple, full-body exercises like squats, deadlifts, bench presses and pull-ups.

Eating healthy and making sure you get a decent amount of protein along with full-body exercises with heavy weights beats that new fad from Men's Health every time.

Don't believe the hype.
How To Understand And Visualize Big Data – Video
I've seen undergrads trying to write Ada:

case x is
when true => y;
when others => z;
end case;

You know, so the code doesn't stop compiling when someone comes along and adds values to the Boolean type.
I think one of the string format examples missing the type formatter:

fmt.Println("it's a", i)

Should be something like:

fmt.Println("it's a %T", i)

See http://golang.org/pkg/fmt/ for more options.

Using divs for layout is directly contrary to semantic markup. I wasted a whole paragraph on this in another reply in this thread so I'm not going to rehash that here, but this whole 'oh but it is semantic as long as it's only divs being used for layout' is self-delusion, white-washing and plain sophistry to resolve the cognitive dissonance between 'semantic html is what good devs do', 'I'm a good dev', and 'fuck me, it's impossible to do what I want visually without adding non-semantic tags'.

Why don't we just call a spade a spade - real semantic html is impossible for the vast majority of real-world use cases, and all we're left with is trying not to fuck it up even more by using <div class="p">. Which brings us into, as I called it elsewhere, 'duh' territory.
This is now possible.

There's this guy called Arnold Schwarzenegger who had a bit of muscle and a bit of power.
Isn't that an oxymoron?
Of course it's up to a point.

Building muscle is not equivalent to body building. Body building is a distinct sub-culture within the strength sports. Not everyone who lifts is interested in getting as big as possible.
I just tried it, both seem correct as fmt.PrintLn takes multiple inputs
I can't really see how you can copyright a list of tracks. It's been a while since I bought a Ministry of Sound compilation but aren't they normally mixed? I can see a mix having copyright protection but if they are then aren't they comparing apples to oranges?
For me it depends on what "validity" means.

1.) Prevent typos etc. Regex or Mailgun or Kicksend is enough.
2.) Prevent bounces, prevent wrong signups one needs to do double opt in.
Every financial institution I have interacted with has failed to store hashed passwords. So I looked up the reason why. Turns out that the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council Data Security Standard (PCI DSS[1]) stipulates only that passwords and other sensitive are to be stored with encryption, and also transmitted as such†—but only amongst other financial institutions‡. So while they can’t keep your password in cleartext, they are free to send it by email, text message, or town crier.

[1]: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/documents/pci_dss_v2.pd...

†Requirement 8 (part 4):

> Render all passwords unreadable during transmission and storage on all system components using strong cryptography.

‡Introduction and PCI Data Security Standard Overview:

> PCI DSS applies to all entities involved in payment card processing–including merchants, processors,
acquirers, issuers, and service providers, as well as all other entities that store, process or transmit cardholder data.

(It appears this does not include cardholders.)

Probably not enough to be a "feature", just that the real factory and the counterfeiters happen to use a different method.

Which is weird, actually. A lot of Chinese counterfeiting happens in the same factory. Say you're a famous clothing brand and you outsource making 10,000 of your ski jackets to a Chinese factory with Gore-tex. They make them and ship them back to you, then they keep the production line running with nylon, make 10,000 more and ship those to market vendors, eBay merchants, etc.
Damn it... This is stupid, I just upgraded too.
Works perfectly for Firefox 22.0 / Ubuntu amd64 too.

Also an actor. Not the first one in power. Not the most powerful of them. The previous one wasn't a bodybuilder as far as I remember.

Somewhat unrelated, but out of curiosity, does anyone know of a site that lists — for all popular languages — various libraries/code snippets/routines which one can use to correctly (according to the RFCs) check the validity of e-mail addresses?

If not I may be compelled to create one.
I don't know what experimentation you plan for synchronizing browser state, but Chrome and Firefox already can sync practically everything, securely.
Probably just greater consistency, so one fewer variable when it comes to QC.

Authy has a desktop client that can request tokens from your phone via Bluetooth, so you don't need to generate a token and type it in manually.

How did GoogleBot get access to the (presumably) private admin panel to crawl the links in the first place? Also, these sort of things require server-side authentication, not just JS. Just because GoogleBot won't crawl your PUT requests doesn't mean others won't -- including users (malicious or otherwise)! Just sayin'.
India & a blonde tourist: An alternate account
Well, depends on where you're looking. The app's record of the account has gone away. Given that this is an authentication app, that's a rather serious problem.
You have so many assumptions in this response that I'm quite sure you don't know what you're saying. My organization is not a little tech startup with everyone sitting in a room. We have editors, translators, acquisitions, materials, marketing folks, etc. We have part time, full time, contractors, volunteers. We have people in over 20 countries, some working from home, some from offices, some from coffee shops. Most of them use Macs, some of them PCs, at least one person runs Linux.

Email is the universal medium. If I need to search for some history, I start with email since it is the most common. Skype we use for private and urgent chat. Campfire we use for general development chat. Basecamp we use for archivable product decision making. All of those have their uses.

I can't begin to think why you believe all my short emails are better suited for chat, but without context it's extremely, extremely ignorant and wrong.
No, there is no use case where this is feasible on the public web. Even a small site with a strange URL and few visitors will be attacked in exactly the way described in the blog post if they try to use this. I'm sure some bot maintainers are already pushing for a detection of this enormous security hole.

Do not do this.
Except the cookies, which seems interesting to sync. Additionally we'd like to experiment with pushing your session to any instance of the browser (running on a machine you don't control).
Is it really impossible? Do you think there is literally really no limit to what they can do or what they will do?
> However with services like Disqus, and (my own startup) Transloadit, it gets more and more feasible to just run a flat site and have external services cover for not running serverside code and a database yourself.

It's funny how the more things change, the more they stay the same. I remember in the beginning of the web, when we all used externally hosted "guestbook" scripts and visitor counters. It seems we're back there again...
The rsync command uses a combination of file modtimes and file sizes as it's default algorithm. It's very fast and efficient. I agree, though, that like rsync, it would be good to add a --checksum option to the s3 sync command in AWS CLI. Feel free to create an issue on our github site https://github.com/aws/aws-cli so we can track that.
Most prisons, whether for profit or not, require money to keep going. The money ultimately comes from society via taxes. But the net effect is it costs society thrice to imprison a person: fewer taxes collected, less goods/services produced
and cost to imprison.
I did another internship for enhanced experience, but I'm going to have to consider it myself one of these years. :)

(The pay is also great and the other perks and location are amazing.)
Very interesting, but I can't quite rap my head around the idea. Aren't the protocols and the execution engine the plattform on which a browser is built? I find it very interesting to think about it what the minimal executable code is and how we ship it over the wire. Chrome was originally an OS as well as a browser (that's how I understand the history).
The point is not how much time it saves this user this instance, but rather that it is an on going site issue affecting tens of thousands of users.
If I recall correctly the code looked something like this:

<?php

delete_bid($_GET['bid_id']);

?>
No thats the thing - they said absolutely nothing about it. It was just like, heres a game displays some gameplay ok moving on ;p
I'm sorry, your message makes no sense to me. There's nothing about Gmail that prevents that use case. I just responded because it's a stupid example.

> Unless you're going to argue that GMail is meant to be a'power emailing' tool, which I'd disagree with.

Okay, so first of all, yes Google was in fact invented to be a power email tool because it was built by engineers for engineers.

But that's neither here nor there because obviously they are trying to improve it for the most common case which is the source of the much-reviled changes.

It's not normal people that are complaining about these changes. It's entrenched power emailers who had their workflow thrown off by change and whose muscle memory is leading them to believe that this redesign is a disaster. New users won't have any worse experience than they did before, I guarantee you that.
Too late for me, but a pleasingly fast and pro-active response from AWS (which rather shows Google up) just received by email:

"If you are an AWS customer who uses Google Authenticator for iOS as a multi-factor authentication device to secure your AWS account via AWS MFA (http://aws.amazon.com/mfa/), please read on. We are writing to inform you that Google has recently released an update to the Google Authenticator App in the iOS Store. We've received reports indicating this update is inadvertently deleting all MFA tokens from the smartphone; this could prevent you from authenticating to your AWS account.

At this point, it is our recommendation that you do not update your Google Authenticator App if you're using an iOS Device. If you have already updated your Google Authenticator app and are no longer able to login successfully you can request assistance from our AWS Customer Service team at:

Authy requires your mobile phone number and the creation of an account to work at all … or am I missing something? I haven't found a way to use Authy without providing my mobile phone number and creating an account.
Why don't you go below and correct Avshalom's misuse of logical fallacies. I was trying to make a point you pedantic bore.
Truecrypt claims an encrypted volume is indistinguishable from random data. I do not know if this is the case though. Obviously don't give it the file a stupid name or extension like "encryptedfiles.tc" or leave it open in your file history, etc.

It's also pretty suspicious if someone has a file of megabytes of random data.
Muscle is what gives your body its ability to move. It's involved in the endocrine system (as this rather crappy article illustrates), it is heavily involved in your metabolism and energy levels, especially including blood-sugar regulation. Building muscle, engaging in regular physical activity (lifting and cardio), and eating healthily (minimal processed carbs) will greatly reduce your likelihood of developing metabolic syndrome and (type II) diabetes. Many people can control T2 diabetes completely through strength training and exercise.

It also helps in injury avoidance, improves your posture (assuming you're training in a whole-body mode, not just chest+biceps). Load-bearing strength training also strengthens bones, joints, and connective tissue. And you can pick up heavy shit and not get tired.

As you get older, starting in your 30s for most people, your body is losing muscle mass at the rate of about a pound every year or two (this is called "sarcopenia"). Eventually this starts effecting your body's ability to regulate body fat, and though your weight may not change, your body composition does, with fat tissue increasing as your muscle wanes.

Most people look better with more muscle rather than more fat, if you're into vanity.

And you should end up with a much better appreciation with how your body works and responds to training, diet, and recovery.

you have to feed it and lug it around.

Well, yeah, there is that feeding it. But you've got to eat anyhow. You might be boosting your caloric intake by a few hundred calories -- a cup of oats or so.

if your lifestyle and diet doesn't match your newly grown muscle tissue the body will adjust and all your effort to grow it will be gone in few weeks/months.

So long as you continue to train, your body will retain most of its gains. It's easier to retain muscle than it is to grow it, so lifting only once a week or even once every two weeks may be sufficient. But yes, it is a lifestyle committment -- your body is what you do with it.

And you seem not to be grasping the point: your muscle is the part of you that does the lugging. More of it makes things easier not harder.

There are a lot of good basic guides. Liam Rosen's Health & Fitness guide lays out the basics: http://www.liamrosen.com/fitness.html

"Everything You Know About Fitness Is a Lie" is another excellent intro:
http://www.mensjournal.com/everything-you-know-about-fitness...

As for my own experience, I'd found that adding strength training to my routine has helped me in many ways. It's more than worth the time and commitment. And though I've never sought artificial enhancement, my results have been more than satisfactory.
The other sub-point... There's Korea/s, China, etc.

Have any countries humanely monitized inmates? That is provide a choice to meaningfully work while incarcerated.
Well, there is one difference between alcohol and other 'drugs' (with the possible exception of pot): alcohol has been a mainstay of human culture for a long time. The same can't be said of cocaine, heroine, meth, etc.

I knew there were problems with some audio ouput, but I had read about the possibility of passthrough - in my case it will be ok. I suppose the CPU "choking" is only present when trying to let the RPi transcode the audio, right?

I have a 2012 Panasonic Plasma TV and the integrated media player is so-so: i.e. it doesn't support external srt subtitles when playing mp4 or mkv files, so I have to remux them in mkv with subs in order to play them, and I was thinking about getting a RPi (and also changing my Seagate Dockstar tranmission/minidlna system with 2 or more disks NAS)
I've seen a surprising amount of code that does:

It may not have syncing, but Stainless[1] has a very clever notion of bookmarks that are sessions.

Govt. backdoors in major encryption solutions?
http://cryptome.org/2013/09/computer-forensics-2013.pdf

Can anyone confirm the authenticity of this?

Coffee addictions don't lead to more violent crime or robbery, as far as I know.

Yeah, let's add work for the customer so Amazon can continue shipping bloated SDKs and clients.

Meanwhile, their documentation sucks, and their Web-based interface doesn't even offer a way to delete a file from S3. Seriously: You can browse files in a giant list, but there's no way to find one and delete it. That's pathetic.
How to Uncover your Optimum Selling Strategy Part 2
Yeah, I heard he was an actor. I watched some of the movies he was in, but I didn't see any acting. :rimshot:

Anyway, getting back to your original point, correlation between height and income is well established (e.g. http://www.apa.org/monitor/julaug04/standing.aspx) It doesn't seem unreasonable to suppose that other aspects of an imposing presence, like muscularity, would also effect income. (Up to a point. I think there is social pressure against excesses of muscularity.)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "Aren't the protocols and the execution engine the plattform on which a browser is built?". But I'll try to elaborate.

Chrome is built on the Content API. So it's a whole lot of C++ and GUI code on top of an API that lets you create a view and display web contents in it. The ExoBrowser wraps this Content API (part of it for now) into a JS API so that you can do all the GUI and specific browser code in Javascript instead of C++.

Additionally Chrome is not really an OS, Chrome OS is an "OS" (more a window system on top of Linux) based on Aura (View Management, kind of like GTK) and Chrome to run the apps.
The layout is the hardest part for me - but yes I agree it needs work.

I've killed the whitespace in the index and reset it to black on white for the moment. I'll have to work on the layout some more over the next couple of days.

I find it hard to believe that guys growing so much meat on themselves that they can't clap their hands over their head

It's really got more to do with tendon and ligament mobility than anything else.

The other: you're simply not going to get that big without drugs. A really good natural bodybuilder will look more like this:

That's defined, but not huge. And he's doing better than most.

You can get the positive results of strength training at or below these levels.
It's still interesting to explore the concept and think about how its always easier to build stuff exclusively client-side.
When you think about it it's actually pretty elegant -- if your purpose is to write something that appears to work but will do the worst possible thing when crawled.
"Oh yeah, and you don't get from the first picture to the last picture in 16 weeks, not gonna happen."

Someone who looked like the second picture when dehydrated, oiled, posing, and flatteringly lit could perfectly well make themself look like the first picture when bloated, unflatteringly lit, and letting it all hang out.

You can see where I am going with this. For some amounts of making himself look awful in the first picture, great in the second one, and 16 weeks of steroids and working out, those "before and after" pics are not implausible.

But I do realise that wasn't what you were saying. Your point was that if we take both pictures in good faith then it's "not gonna happen" and you would be right. I bother to point out what I did because it is reminiscent of those "get ripped" banner ads where - to me at least - it often looks like the same person on the same day 2 hours apart, first posing and tensing on the back of a fasting session and after, slouching, having stuffed themselves. And of course the advert reverses the "before and after", and pops 6 weeks with whatever they are selling into the timeline.
I remember trying and being unable to do it. You may be right but current documentation doesn't really prove it.
