I don't really see the point of having 1Password on anything but your phone (unless you don't have a smart phone).

It seems like the most secure way to use it, assuming you've enabled back ups in 1Password to iCloud or DropBox.

Whenever I need a password I just grab my phone and look it up, then type it in. Sure, I have to manually type passwords, and my randomized passwords all have a minimum 18 character length, so it takes a bit longer. It's a plus though, because over time I memorize my passwords through repetition. If you have the program on a desktop and it just copies/pastes your password, you'll never memorize it.
I felt like if there is a company culture where everyone understands that security vulnerabilities can be costly then there wouldn't even be a discussion about security researchers being entitled, there would be a good bug bounty program in place from the get go. Maybe my logic is flawed but to me no bug bounty program says we really don't care enough about this and it's not a big priority, we'll just let/hope people do the right thing and report problems because that's how big internet companies do things in 2013.

That's how I see things from the outside, I don't have any inside information and it could very well turn out they have most of their staff working on software testing and security.

I wrote simple learning programs along these lines in C and Java in the 1990s. I didn't have a web page to publish my progress on then, but once I got to the point of being able to create ANY graphics in Java, I can readily imagine myself moving from that to the bouncing ball sort of thing in a day of concentrated effort.

So that alone doesn't suggest to me anything deceptive afoot.

I doubt my indentation patterns were very consistent at first either. :-) Especially if I was learning from one book on one day and another book on another day.
Wow sport. A little angry and quick to judge?
FastISel will quite often kick out to the regular instruction selector because it can't handle particular IR constructs.
Why surprised? If you can understand the rationale, surely you can understand scope changes.
Update: I think HN may want to implement the scoring system used on Slashdot to evaluate posts/comments based on relevance, usefulness, information, or insight. This way, there will be no need to post meta-comments to attempt to correct negative behavior that results in the degradation of the community and the decreasing insight and relevance of posts.

Whatever happened to StrongARM? I can't find any references on the Wiki page paget the 1990's?

So, I was 15 when Gattaca came out. 15 year old me was very much "Look at the protagonist succeed against all odds! Take that cold science!".

30 year old me is much more pragmatic. The world is changing very quickly, and even though I'm still somewhat young, I know things will get harder for me as I get older (I work in the tech sector; "The Benevolent Treadmill"). I have a wife, and soon kids on the way. I need to be able to get more done in the day, concentrate more, remember more, and continue to constantly learn while competing against kids half my age.

30 year old me would select the best traits for my child(ren) in a heartbeat. I want better for them than I had, as all parents do.

Nice to see them getting back to their roots. :)
Could you explain what you mean by

" This is his way to bring gcc into the modern era"
and
"He's seriously invested in cleaning up gcc and making it a competitive compiler."

Optimization wise, GCC is still much more modern than LLVM, and in fact, more modern than a most commercial compilers.

Architecture wise, there are warts, but bringing GCC into the modern era architecturally was never a technical/engineering challenge.

To be honest, speaking as a guy who wrote plenty of GCC's current optimizations, he'd be a lot better off fixing LLVM's JIT issues than trying to rearchitect GCC.

At this point, it's hard to come up with good reasons to continue work on GCC past "fun".
lol, well, maybe she is a 10x in the making and you are not! just because something will take you 200 days doesn't mean it will take other's the same amount of time.
Really cool. Would be nice to see firebase include way more of these types of sets (stocks, sports scores, trending news etc.).

I need hipaa compliance so firebase doesn't work for my use cases, but have enjoyed the times I've played with it.
Let's look at the established alternatives: packages. Packages are checked for corruption and validity.

This isn't so much different from downloading a random executable and running it. Hell, it's worse than that (since the download doesn't get stored for future audits)! But who said executing random executables from the internet is good in the first place?
Right, but unlike GCC, this is not an architectural issue, but a simple implementation issue that could be fixed.
Based on what I've read about other side effects, any positive gains made in the person possibly telling the truth would be negated by the drug's side effects (profuse sweating, elevated heart rate, etc.) causing normal 'lie detector' monitoring tools being rendered ineffective.
I would say the difference is more that people who live in these places mistake their wants for needs at a higher rate than elsewhere. It is not terribly difficult to save in SF. See my other comments in this thread.
Er no it wasn't/i'snt I know Tony Blair said "we are all middle class now" :-)

Class is a complex issue I am sure the miners who earn £80k plus pa consider themselves working class.

Also Americans (I am making an assumption here) often like to think that the US is a classless society but you are fooling your self if you think that the case.

That is a bad reason, yes. However, the prosecutor also objected to Levison's proposal to supply metadata, where he would wait until the 60 days were up, decrypt the stored messages (from which, to my knowledge, he could only read the headers unencrypted - the body is encrypted with PGP, I think), strip the "Subject" headers (per the legal standards on pen/trap orders) and then deliver that data to the FBI, via SCP, in bulk.

One reason that this was rejected, then, was that it did not fulfill the requirements of the 'trap/trace' part of the order, which require the metadata to be provided in real time or close to real time.

OK. I was going to make this post as part of a deeper thread about installer problems, but I feel the need to post this where it will get more visibility:

This script is a huge security risk.

It takes arbitrary commands issued to it via the API and runs those on your system, then uploads the stdout from those commands back to their servers, where it's stored for an indeterminate amount of time with indeterminate security. (Their privacy policy makes no mention of the storage, usage, or dissemination of data collected via this tool)

There is literally no limit to what commands to be run, and you can't easily audit which commands it will run prior to them being executed. There's even a built-in privilege escalation path, via the upgrade script.

You might as well give them a login with passwordless sudo to any system you install this to.

> That's like saying gas is a basic need for a car to move, so car insurance should cover gas.

Not spending money on gas doesn't make things that existing mandatory car insurance does cover (liability) more likely or more expensive. In fact, it makes them less likely. Not spending money on mental health and contraception, OTOH, does make things that catastrophic medical insurance would cover more likely.

Financial incentives to defer costs is one of the reasons why the US healthcare system is by far the most expensive, not just in total but on a per capita or per GDP basis, in the world, despite it nor producing better results that other developed-world systems and, unlike every other OECD country except Mexico, not providing universal coverage.
>BTW: If anyone invents a time machine, please go back and get the original Arduino header alignment fixed.

The TRE has all of the arduino signals on a 2x17 0.1" header, the one with a white background around it (which seems to mean 5v-safe / AVR-connected on the TRE). Then there's also the remaining double-row headers, which I'd assume are arranged on a 0.1" spacing in relation to each other, and are possibly a new Arduino standard for a 3.3V-only header layout.

It's still not perfect, though. Personally I wish they had made the new standard headers closer together than the old headers instead of further apart, to make it possible to at least bridge across some of them with a $10 5x5cm PCB (even the existing Arduino header standard is just a bit too large to fit on a 5x5cm board, and that's the standard lowest-price tier at all of the super cheap chinese PCB services). But I guess if you only need access to the Uno-era Arduino pins, you can now fit everything into a ~4.4cm long double header. But it's a double header, so you can't make your 'shield' able to pull double duty by plugging directly into a breadboard, which you could have if there had been two close rows of 5V headers instead of a single double-row.

But it is an improvement, and the form factor does have a history of working, a single double-row header is the basis for the entire Pi-Crust/Plate/Shield ecosystem.

I found out about the "CMD + \" just now. I guess it wasn't there before or is that because I never used the browser plugin.

Btw, my upgrade was free at the App Store.

Quick observations;

* Snappy and Fast.

* iCloud Sync will make it easier to sync between Devices - iOS and Mac OS X. Dropbox sync wasn't that great if I don't open the app often. (I hope I don't regret saying this.)

* Finally, "CMD + SHIFT + c" copies password to clipboard. Been asking that for ages.

* Security Audit is cool.

Hmmmmm;

* I wish I could choose the backup location.

* Allow me to create custom categories.

Overall, nice upgrade.
Hm. Now that I think about it, both of those words are actually really bad for being used in a sincere apology. The salient points of an apology are (1) "I own this action, and this action was wrong and I understand why" and (2) "These are my actions in response and in recompense".

Neither of those call for saying, "I'm sorry" or "I apologize" and saying either seems to detract a bit. I could be wrong? It's interesting to think about.
I knew something like this would happen and send the stock tumbling. I bought in at ~18 and got out at ~150 with the intention to buy back in if it ever fell significantly. I assumed this would happen.

BTW, I am a huge fan or tesla and bought in originally because I believe in what they are doing, but the gains got too be too much to not lock in. I'd be buying back since I still believe that they are the future and the most forward looking car company at the moment. The big car companies are going to keep showing up at Tesla's door for access to their tech and know-how, and it's going to cost them.
Resources for Windows PC Developers Moving to Mobile Development
I was recently working with a developer on a collaborative project regarding how Microsoft-centric PC developers can begin their journey into mobile development.

Seems that one of the more seamless tools out there is Mono since it's open source and allows a developer to create apps for all three platforms using C# (though it's slower for native apps).

And as far as educational resources Lynda and The New Boston seem to be two excellent ones.

What tools did you use when transitioning from .NET development to mobile? Did you start with Windows Phone before Android/iOS?
It was always there when you are using Browser extension.
Application of Lean Startup Principles to Enterprise Managed Change
Your argument doesn't make sense. This is a question of carrying a dense energy source with you at high speed. A pressurized tank of hydrogen has just as big potential for causing massive damange as a fuel tank or a battery. Probably more, since hydrogen will violently explode if ignited in the atmospohere.
I knew a guy who lived off 1/3 of his salary of ~40k. when you are single you can cut housing expenses by getting a few house-mates. Housing is the main expense for most people.

That was in Idaho

Here in the valley I make a typical dev salary and have 2 dependents but still save 1k, invest 1k and put 1k down against my principal every month.

Tech jobs pay well and if you can't easily save large amounts of money as a developer you'd better be having a whole lot of fun.

Passwords are a terrible security tool - In many cases they are easier for computers to guess then they are for people to remember.

For me, not-memorizing it is the whole point of 1Password.
1Password lets me generate and store passwords which are MUCH longer/more random than normal people can memorize.

I store them on my PC, and lock/unlock them with a strong master password - They're synced via local network to my phone, and never travel outside my network. Where possible, accounts are additionally secured via 2-factor auth.

This seems like a much better solution than variations on song-lyrics, cat names, 'P4zzw0Rd', which is the 'standard' solution to passwords.

FWIW, passwords are something I'd consider a 'hair on fire' problem. The current solutions are very very broken.

Nope. That's why the no dependents part is essential. If you are single and willing to live with roommates, you will be able to navigate the "high cost of living" pretty successfully.

I'm living quite comfortably in San Francisco and spending a fraction of what I was spending in Texas. Why?

- No car. No gas. No upkeep. No payments. No insurance. No inspections. No car.

- Roommates. I HATE living alone so this was a no-brainer. If you insist on having your own place, then yeah it's probably going to sting. If not you can often find good deals.

- Food. A tech job often provides free or free-ish food. Plus I can get reasonably-priced staples at the market on the corner of my block. The culture here makes it much less likely I'll spend $400/mo at Olive Garden, Chili's, and The Red Lobster.

- Stuff. Don't need much. When I was in Texas I lived FAR away from anyone who really shared my geeky interests. I'm surrounded by them here. I simply don't have the urge to buy so much stuff to keep me occupied. I have the stuff I need and I spend most of my time doing things with people. These things are often free. Speaking of which...

- "funcheap". SF is famous for this (as is NYC). You can ALWAYS find cool stuff to do that costs little or no money. You can also, of course, find stuff that costs a lot of money. It's your choice, day by day.

Now if I couldn't stand to live with roommates or had a family to support, this would be a whole different story. Also, "high cost of living" really means $$$/sq ft vs $$/sq ft. It IS outrageous in places, but I'm much happier in my apartment with 1 bedroom to myself than I was in a 2600 square foot house in Texas. So yes, price per square foot is going to hurt on paper, but if "size doesn't matter", you might end up paying less by actual dollars.

Your mileage may vary, of course, but I'm pretty passionate about this since I stuck around in places that weren't right for me a lot longer than I should have... simply because I let popular rhetoric convince me that only dot com millionaires could afford to live in the Bay Area. They were wrong, and I was a fool for listening to them instead of exploring it for myself. Don't make my mistakes.
This approach definitely works for cooking - it's been tried before.

See, for example, the Julie/Julia project, where one woman decided to cook her way through the entirety of "Mastering The Art Of French Cooking" by Julia Child. ( http://web.archive.org/web/20021217011704/http://blogs.salon... )
All it takes is some bad press. People still joke about the Ford Pinto.
I think this is spot on. It's really easy to get caught up in feeling like you need to know everything before you even begin. It gets overwhelming really quickly.
How did facebook get a bump before 2005?

I used to agree with this but what I've seen in practice is a lot of people who have half-assed their way through beginner tutorials but have no actual practical grasp of how to do a non-guided project.

What she's done is pretty difficult -- executing a new concept daily -- and it's amazing she managed to keep it up when most others would drop out/fail.

I personally think "a lot of knowledge" comes through those lost hours spent fixing obscure, annoying problems and bugs and inconsistencies that force someone to really think through how that system works.
I think you try to setup the market so that X dies of natural causes. So that at least it is more work than to rub someone out outright.
New idea: prank.io. You pay $1 and enter your friends number and it'll call him/she between 2am and 5am couple of times.

Aside from the first one, is there any hard evidence of these? "Industrial Espionage" != spying on foreign companies with no commercial benefit, for example.
Same here; I had to get a Windows license when I was tired of read-only from the dropbox utility, and then run 1Password for Windows using Wine (and 1Password for windows is a massively inferior experience.) I'm surprised they don't put more effort into improving the Windows app instead of releasing v4 on top of an already pretty good v3, even if they don't feel it's the right time to release a Linux version.

> a good deal of copy->paste from SO

This is pretty much a given. The delta from days 8 and 9 is "learned how to use named functions, learned that jQuery has plugins". That's not that much of a leap, but of course any student is going to be using external resources. You might notice that her goal was "make websites", not "hand-code everything".

This is how everyone learns. Copy-paste some code in without understanding it, watch it break, figure out how to fix it, repeat.
Ask HN: How to estimate purchase price of an expiring domain?
I am looking to get a domain that expires in December. The domain in question has appeal only really to people who have the same first initial and last name name as me. The .io is not taken, the .{net,org,com} all are taken but expire soon and haven't been updated lately (since 2009)leading me to believe that they will not renew.

Many sites exist to appraise domains:
www.{valuate,estibot}.com lists the domain as "worth" $1,200.

These appraisals do not seem to be the value in terms of purchasing a domain that seems only useful as a personal site. While I have a popular last name and first initial if I don't get the domain I won't be overly disappointed as I can still get the .io.

I know there are some statistical approaches for estimating a domain value, but they require data on "similar" sites, ie real estate:
http://www.domainmart.com/news/Statistical_Models_for_Market_Approach_to_Domain_Name_Value.pdf

As I am only looking at evaluating the purchase price of a single domain, I would like a simple way of estimating a purchase price that I can scale by a bayesian probability of my "satisfaction" with having the domain vs cost.

Any input would be cool.
I've got a few apps built using this API, so I can chime in. It is definitely based on usage patterns--the more you use a particular app, the more often it will refresh. It's also certainly based on battery life at the time, but also the requirements of the app.

With Pivit, since it's such a compact fetch, it'll happen more frequently than if you were, for instance, downloading photos. I check HN a lot, so for me, the app is always up to date. It does take a bit of learning time for the OS to know your patterns, but it is well worth it--it's really a great new API.
