I'd be interested in peeping your script just as a blueprint of how to set something like this up for myself. I'll likely end up ponying up for 1Password v4 anyway, but I fantasize about going lower-fi/simpler all the time, and this seems like a nice step in that direction. Are you doing this on OS X?

Surely they are trying to get a message across more than anything else. Unless they somehow shut down all the server before leaving the office.
SuperGenPass uses MD5 or SHA512 (so they do use hashes). Personally, I use bcrypt with a cryptographically random and long master password, which is something at least.

I appreciate the input and advice anyway. Security being a system of compromises, my current stance is that the security offered by a system like this, despite its flaws, is greater than a password database system (with truly random passwords) because then both I need to keep the database physically secure and trust that e.g. 1Password have designed it properly (or that my cloud provider is capable of keeping it secure). Since 1Password has apparently had potential issues in the past I don't have too much faith, but perhaps I'm being overly cynical.

Comments like yours and Groxx's help me re-evalute what I'm doing though, so maybe I will switch to proper random passwords in future. So thanks again for the input!

There are huge differences between different fields of science. In some publication has become the end goal.
Looking at their adjusted EBIDTA, it looks like they managed roughly the same amount in 2012 as in 1st half of 2013. That definitely shows that they are aggressively driving to profitability.

Top line revenue is not looking quite as impressive, but 2012 is shown at $317 million, where as H1 of 2013 is shown at $254 million. If you assume same revenue levels for H2 (no idea if that's a valid assumption), you are looking at $508 million for 2013 or a 60% growth in revenues.

Add to this the sentiment comments made by others about how mainstream twitter is, and you definitely have decent justifications for high-ish stock price.
I wish the voters would get aware. We keep electing these same people that are spending OUR money unwisely. It's situations like these that make me resent every dollar I must pay in taxes. If the money was actually going to help INSURE people as opposed to simply being wasted, then I'd be ok with the existing tax burden. But when a state like California is teetering on the edge of fiscal disaster, it's almost unconscionable that they'd spend 1 cent more than was actually necessary.

But you're correct. Government organizations don't care -- I just wish more people could make them care!
DRM-free is the way to go, and has been the way for music on iTunes since March 2009 (http://www.macworld.com/article/1137946/itunestore.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes_Store#Movement_against_D...)

I seem to remember reports that iTunes sales increased quite a bit as they removed the DRM, indicating that removing DRM does indeed make the most business sense, not just the most moral sense or whatever. The best source I've been able to come up with quickly is this: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1022890/emi-drm-fre...

"What we haven’t told them is that nothing of any worth is obtained by any means except for good old honest hard work."

This is such crap when the real estate market was good I made more money per year watching my apartment appreciate than by working my ass off. Perhaps in some existential sense of 'worth' this is true, but in terms of making piles of cash, definitely not.
I agree. In previous discussions about this, some people emphasized the idea of open source development, as opposed to giving an open source software to an end user. For example, you could run a binary through an obfuscator after compiling in a decryption key -- from source code that had been published and distributed under an open source license. If the license isn't a reciprocal/copyleft license, this is probably not a license violation, but it seems wrong to say that the user who receives the binary is being given open source software.

This issue reflects the way that people have had very different ideas about what the point or purpose of free and open source software is (in some ways, reflecting the split between people who preferred to say "free software" over "open source" and vice versa).

It's also a very concrete issue today in whether people call, say, the Chrome browser "open source". Most of their source code is downloadable, derived from the fully open-source Chromium project, but in Google's current practice, users never get the complete source code to the Chrome binaries that they run. If you're focused on the development process, it might almost make sense to call Chrome "open source" because almost all of its source code is distributed, licensed, and developed in an open source manner -- but if you're focused on what users can do with the software, it's obviously just a proprietary application (with a proprietary EULA, to boot).
Doing IPO means raising money from public markets. So with IPO money, they believe they can buy lot of companies, hire people and make it really profitable business.

FB/Google/LinkedIn didn't have to go public but they had to due to SEC regulations and/or their existing investors.
Actually Netflix and Stream could both operate without DRM. If content providers don't want to provide their content to open systems, that is their concern, not that of the middle men. Adding a DRM standard just placates to corporate wishes to control content. This has the chilling effect to prevent fair use, or worse it can be used to lock up content that should otherwise be open and free.
Then you are probably lucky since the intrusion likely was earlier than that.
I love how I have no emails from Adobe today except for Creative Cloud advertisements. Thanks.
Indeed, we need a ticket system for custom tokens per merchant. So instead of actually putting in the credit card number, you put in a token (very similar to an oauth type token).

If say for instance the token you gave to Adobe gets stolen, you or they just disable all tokens or ask for new tokens.

So not only will fraud be more difficult but merchants also will be known who has been compromised. Right now banks won't always tell you what merchant was compromised and causing you to get a new number/card.

New payment systems have this, for instance stripe is built similar to this.

Why do people have to update all their cards with all their merchants after one fails? Getting multiple cards and internet cards sometimes helps compartmentalize but really we need this at least per merchant.

Some banks have this like Bank of America ShopSafe but it should be the new normal.
From my naive point of view, it seems like now is when they can make their most optimistic projections that could still be taken seriously.
It doesn't need to be long. In fact the point is that you don't need to solve the problem. You just get better at working on it. Short means you can do it often, and make it a habit.

I think its a question of path dependency. You can evaluate a piece of work, without being dismissive; being to quick to judge; being toxic rather than constructive in your criticism. Etc. The phrase "judgemental" has an idiomatic meaning in english, akin to burning bridges before they are crossed.
Game Development Using Haxe, Unity and Node.js - Part 1
The Free Software Definition doesn't require free software to be copylefted or to include measures against TiVoization or against proprietary or restrictive downstream products. GPLv3 does this and the BSD license doesn't, and both are free software licenses.

As I said in another comment, people who usually say "free software" are more likely to think that preventing restrictive downstream products is an important goal than people who usually say "open source". But that doesn't mean it's part of the definition of what it means to be free software.

EDIT: I also think the comment the parent replied to was right to say "then the whole is not open source". BusyBox is both free and open source even though its license allows it to be included in the locked-down TiVo -- but the TiVo as a whole is not open source.
This isn't about some childish sense of taking sides.

Oh how I wish it wasn't. However as we've seen on HN for years, there are people who have a bizarre predisposition to wave a flag and claim a team. It turns the conversation into a partisan mockery of overly aggrieved victims.

Kind of off-topic: if ocean temperatures are increasing, isn't this the same thing as the ocean having more potential energy? If energy generation from waves was increased substantially, would this cool the ocean or act as a dampener against the earth's rotation? Perhaps both?

This is actually how a lot of merchants work -- they send CC info to a bank or processor, and get back a token they can use to charge that CC (without having to store CC information). Why Adobe didn't utilize this is beyond me.
anyone could roll a browser that did not include the DRM standard

And how many people will use it, apart from outliers like people who post here? The vast majority of people use one of the Big Three: Firefox, Internet Exploder [no, that's not a typo ;)], and Chrome.

Furthermore, if the Big Three implement a DRM standard, then web pages that want to "protect their content" will simply use the DRM standard, and it won't matter that Joe's Really Cool Browser doesn't implement it; that browser simply won't be able to view the pages. A few outliers like us will rant and rave; anyone else who tries it will say "Joe's Really Cool Browser Sucks" and go back to using one of the Big Three.
> certain information relating to 2.9 million Adobe customers

It would be nice to know how many user accounts Adobe manages, so that I can better estimate the likelihood of my accounts being affected. If they only have 2.9 million accounts, I should be worried; if they have 100 million accounts, I should still worry but perhaps a little less so.

I have not (yet) received an email from Adobe regarding this latest attack, but I have an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription as well as several Typekit accounts. I use 1Password to generate passwords, but of course that doesn’t protect my credit card information.
Yep. Doing this on OS X and launching it via Alfred. I'd rather not share the script solely because I don't want to be responsible for some bug or bad idea that could cause you or anybody else problems.

However, I can share some inspiration to get started:

SuperGenPass (the original place I saw the idea):
http://supergenpass.com

A fork of SuperGenPass using bcrypt/base85:
https://github.com/cmcnulty/SuperGenPass

I wouldn't use either of the above because they're JavaScript-based, but someone has implemented it in Python:
https://github.com/gfxmonk/supergenpass

I took that script as inspiration, modified it to use bcrypt, and then used the Python "keyring" module for access to the OS X keychain, and calling "osascript" to use an AppleScript one-liner to get Safari's front-most URL as an input.

It does potentially have the side-benefit of protecting against phishing attacks too, since if the domain is different, the password is different, so you can't be fooled into giving your password to the wrong website.

PowerShell and Python both make fairly lousy CLIs out-of-the-box, and you can already talk to .NET objects in Python through either IronPython or pywin32's COM interop, depending on what you're up to. In other words: you can already use Python in place of PowerShell. Do so in good health, and be merry. :)
It really comes down to how good the sales pitch was.

> At one time the market for drugs was unregulated, and the result was a hazard to the public: drugs of unknown strength and purity, false advertising, etc.

Is it clear that the negative affects of drug abuse have been lessened by regulations and the drug war? It's not clear to me, and it's especially not clear when you consider the cost of the drug war.

> similarly, black market opiates versus prescription opiates.

That's because these opiates are illegal, so there's very little market pressure (from competition) and also very little recourse against abuses (you can't take your drug dealer/manufacturer to court or call the police, which is also why there's lots of violence associated with illegal drugs).

In these comparisons, you also have to try to consider the cost of drug regulators like the FDA. Surely lives have directly been lost due to drugs not being approved.
Even without privilege escalation a feel like this is a big security risk.
I can't imagine having dozens of servers bound to a web service, with a user interface accessible from anywhere with a simple login and password. and from that interface you can add any number of arbitrary command.

Interesting. I don't think I do, or would have, feared blowback from giving a negative review - but I have no way of knowing for sure. I do know that I'm generally reviewing papers because a colleague asked me to, or asked me to be on the PC. So, in that instance, I'm more concerned with doing a good job in the eyes of my colleague.

I do know that I have received many cursory reviews where the reviewer did not fully read the paper. I have often wondered if single-blind the other way would be better: reviewer signs their name, but paper authors are anonymous. While this may fix the crappy review problem, it is susceptible to what you fear.

Come on, don't lump those together.

* 75% of CRM's float is sold short, market clearly agrees with you
* AMZN has big FCF numbers, 2012 being an anomaly because of the big fixed capex expenditures. They grow the business without regard to engineering their GAAP earnings, which is admirable, and means the EV/FCF is probably a big, though somewhat reasonable 25-50.
* FB analysis requires a DCF because they're growing earnings so fast. They're only 40 x estimated 2014 earnings
* TSLA is not the same business model as F or GM, though they all nominally sell cars. Look at the leverage around licensing revenue that ARMH or QCOM showed.

I haven't read Twitter's S-1 and can't comment on it (50 x revenue makes it feel closer to CRM than any of the others), but I generally agree with your opinion that equities are near a peak because it is literally impossible for fixed income to be less attractive as an alternative and the Fed is clearly letting us know it's closer to the end of QE than the beginning. (disclaimer: nobody should make investment decisions based on my advice, I'm not a professional and you could lose all your money if you do, etc)

EDIT: after perusing the S-1 the revenue growth rate is incredible, so it may end up more like FB (which has only surpassed it's ipo price in the last month or so...)

EDIT 2: Yahoo!'s short data was laughably wrong, CRM's percent of float sold short is 10%

But this still effectively limits the rendering of content to blessed implementations. Why introduce a standard that isn't open when there are already other options.
Probably a scam.
I study (university), browse sites like HN and watch TV shows online. That's pretty much it.
If the Web cannot give them the content they want, they'll get it elsewhere, probably from silo'd App Stores where things "just work."

And in this scenario (i.e., the way things are now), someone like me, who doesn't give a shit about "content" but does care about the Web itself, can still avoid DRM by not installing the plugins, not using the silo'd App Stores, etc. But if my browser is the silo'd plugin/App Store, I'm SOL. That is why all this matters: it makes DRM and all of the closed source nastiness that goes with it the default, instead of something people have to choose. I think that's a very, very bad idea.
