Supported this company with the first version of 1Password. Then paid again for a family version of v3 last year, as well as the paid version for the iPhone which has been somewhat of a let down... now they want more money. All so I can store/use passwords.

I've spent less money on other apps that I actually spend more time using daily. Guess I'll start searching for some alternatives before they start dropping support for v3.

Recursively your kind is one of the worst kind of people. Or was this non-judgemental "worst" adjective? :)
This is wildly judgmental, and it would seem that you are projecting your own values in your assessment of people, which is also very narrowly fitted for technology where knowledge has potential to payoff.

Have you ever met someone with perpetual knowledge of hunger that didnt succeed , and also had a very dented personal life?
I met dozens of those, and what do you think they end up regretting?

On the other hand i do agree that hunger and intelligence are very good predictors of someones ability to grow a skill. From that to 'success' there is a huge leap in many ways, from your personal concept of success to the actual real world out there.

it's a bit more complicated than that, though - it's not that the same people who would have found and reported vulnerabilities to yahoo if they were properly incentivised will instead turn around and sell them to the highest bidder. the black-hats will always get a higher reward from other criminals than they will from the companies; the point is that if you can also get a white-hat to report stuff to you, you can perhaps fix it before the criminals exploit it.

in the absence of incentives, the danger is that the white-hats will simply not bother with you. and yes, people lose, but you cannot really lay a moral responsibility on people to help a profit-making company out for free just because if they don't other people might get hurt.
Based on the quote from Judge Grewal in that article, he takes this issue very seriously, and will likely issue some heavy sanctions. Samsung is already on the hook for a Billion dollars, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

The problem with Quark X1000 is that it has SMM - you don't have to worry about Linux messing up timing (it's the easily replaceable part), but the firmware.
I disagree with your philosophy. You advocate a lifestyle focusing on success and ambition. I believe that having the qualities of both types of people is ideal.

Below is a quote that I found very illustrative of the downfalls of living a life too focused on success:

“Man surprised me most about humanity. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
I guess it never really took off...

Which is what FOSS patents website is actually saying. I added that link, because it is more detailed than the CNN one.

It is written as such on FOSS patents. Apple supplied the documents, David Teece (Samsung's witness and a UCB prof) compiled main clauses of the documents into a report, the report was then sent to Samsung's external attorneys (Quinn Emmanuel), who uploaded them on to an internal Samsung FTP server, then around 50 executives were notified one by one to access that report.
My writing skills have improved dramatically in the last six months of forced blog writing. I also really like having the record of my thoughts throughout the project. Even though blogging wasn't strictly necessary for learning to code, I'm really glad I decided to do it.
Samsung shouldn't violate court orders.

Still, these documents are licensing agreements that implement and define the extent of a state granted monopoly. There is no plausible non-corrupt reason to allow them to be kept secret. Any serious effort at open government would require private companies invested with the power of law to make these documents public as soon as they're written.

The patent office should require all contracts that involve patent assignment, licensing, and revenue sharing to be deposited at the patent office for public access. These companies have been granted a privilege by the state at a cost to the freedom of every citizen and are responsible for how they use that privilege. The public has a right to know whether those privileges are really being used in the public interest as we are so often told.

In every case, the public is better off if competitors know what sort of value and advantage companies are getting from patents. The whole point of the system is supposed to depend on public disclosure of inventions and their use and value compensating the public. Hiding the terms of contracts is an abuse of the very supposed nature of the patent bargain.

The continued sealing of documents in patent cases offends justice and integrity. Even the judge in this case agrees and has tried to make more of these documents in question public. So far the corrupt Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit hasn't been cooperative in reducing secrecy and opening up evidence to the public in patent cases.

Isn't ombudsman someone in charge of talking to external stakeholders and dealing with their problems?
as part of the apple-samsung lawsuit, apple produced apparently incredibly business sensitive licensing agreements, some of which where with Nokia. In order to avoid samsung using this to their advantage/letting samsung go on a fishing expedition, the agreement was apple's documents would only go to apple's lawyers and samsung's external legal firm. Samsung's external lawyers had a duty to avoid giving this knowledge to their employers.

Since lying and cheating are pervasive ethics at Samsung (see: recent benchmarking results), Samsung of course got their hands on a copy of this agreements in order to help negotiate negotiate their own deals with Nokia. Nokia told the court.

Samsung and their firm and busy lying to the court and hiding. However, the court has subpoena powers. At minimum Samsung's external legal firm stands to be censured.
They are only a failure if adoption was a goal. I am being serious here. It takes significant time and money to get language adoption. Every major language, C++, Java, C#, Python has had significant financial and resource backing.

Often the financial backing is very conservative. It does not like to take risks. So they go with what is familiar.

Second, I can't think of a single academic I know that set out to create "the perfect language". Often one is created to explore an idea. That does not mean the language isn't incredibly valuable for the lessons it provides - but it likely was never meant to hit mass adoption.
But... slam?
> I don't think anyone would disagree that PL theory, as a body of work, has produced a set of languages whose penetration in the real world is oddly small both given (a) the investment in these technologies, and (b) the many real advantages of typed higher-order programming.

I'm a PL theorist, and I disagree.

Who cares about your opinion on PL theory, its practitioners, and its textbooks? Is internalizing your hate for TAPL necessary for understanding the semantics of Urbit and related technologies? Why don't you just state succinctly what your ideas are and let them stand on their own merits.

That being said, I have no idea what your ideas are. Your website is unintelligible. Ironically, one of the things PL theory provides is a common vocabulary amongst practioners, which helps us communicate. I shouldn't have to learn a new alphabet (or in your parlance, a set of runes?) to figure out what new ideas you bring to the table. That kind of stuff is just not interesting to me. It's like if you 'rejected' English and wrote the rest of your work in Esperanto.
Facebook ads can get you great installs, and very targetted too...but can go upto $1.50 CPA. If you want lower costs look at Millenial Media or Tapjoy.

I would put the $1000 purely into getting direct downloads as opposed to any brand/awareness building campaigns.
I thought that for a military bombing weapon, the drones have very good statistics for civilian causalities? (If they should be used to target the people they are targeting is another question.)

(Also, terrorists that know they have a target painted on top of their head are not the responsible part, if kids they spend time with die?)

About Pakistani statistics:

Note that Pakistani politicians approving of drones (an unofficial deal [about drones, with USA] was leaked iirc?) are targeted for murder. So public condemnations are not worth much there.

Anyway, afaik Pakistan do lots of cross border terror attacks on Afghanistan and India, then lie consistently. Pakistani claims about this subject just aren't trustworthy.

Yes. Israel's tactics is generally to incite conflict, pull in the west countries (mainly the US), thus solving their geopolitical goals.

You can in fact trace the birth of modern terrorism right back to establishment of the Israeli state in the Middle East.

The moment the US stops supporting Israel will mark the end of War on Terror.
Which ICANN domain name registrar have you registered your domain?
Chicken feed is my guess. Now if he punishes the lawyers (as in hurt their careers) in any way he can that might serve as a deterrent. Samsung is super-rich and can take a hit. I doubt the judge can fine them into the $ hundreds of millions to billions.

Lightweight Virtualization with Linux Containers and Docker (YaC 2013)
She mentions specifically the Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl. This tutorial has a section on creating secret tokens within the first three chapters (while leaving in-depth discussion of it for later chapters), and starts discussing concepts like MVC and setting up a development environment in the first chapter.

I'm working through the same tutorial myself, so I see no reason to doubt that it is entirely possible to set up a rails dev environment and get started in a single day.

I would also argue she is in fact disclosing how "someone else" helped her -- "...sites like Stack Overflow, MDN, CSS Tricks, blogs and demos. I also used some great online tutorials". Using these resources is to me no different than having your experienced developer friend sit next to you. Probably better, in some cases.

The markets are always exactly prcied-up.

Isn't this in agreement with what I said? I didn't say that the market prices would not reflect the expected predictions. I said that once that happens the market will stop moving, which appears to be exactly what you're saying:

you can just look at the order book to see the predictions.

In other words, there is a limit to how accurately people can predict the outcomes of these card games, and that limited predictive accuracy is what the market reflects. The real question is, how much betting volume is there for a given, fixed card game, once all the players in the market learn the odds? My expectation is that volume will decrease over time for a given, fixed card game, because if the game is fair, the betting is zero-sum, so players who know the optimal strategy will never bet among themselves (since you can't make money on average at zero-sum bets), and players who don't know the optimal strategy will go bankrupt.

Obviously if you introduce a new card game, the above doesn't apply; that would be the equivalent of adding, say, six-sided dice to the coin flip betting site: now there's a new set of odds to be learned, so there will be a new period of trading as market players learn the optimal strategy for this new game.

For the coin flip, you'd still have people asking for odds of 50.1% and others offering odds of 49.9%

Would any actual bets happen at these odds? What makes you think so? An occasional new player might try this, but he would end up losing money, and all the long-term players know that would happen, so they won't try it. Why would they?

Or do you just mean that people would be posting these asks/offers, but nobody would be accepting them? If so, then, once again, this is in agreement with what I was saying; no actual activity would be taking place in the market, but the asks/offers would accurately reflect the market's best available prediction--which is the best possible prediction, hence no money can be made in the market because trades are zero-sum.
No, it wouldn't.

Take the word "patent" out of the picture, and you still have very unethical and possibly illegal behavior. The information shared was confidential contracts between Apple and other companies. This information was marked as confidential for Samsung's lawyers only, not for Samsung. Someone gave them to Samsung.

This would still happen with just about any business suit that could involve trade secrets.
How the Shutdown Is Devastating Biomedical Scientists and Killing Their Research
Our current practical possibilities for many severe genetical defects (many of them less common but much harsher than Down's - say, an expected lifespan measured in weeks) in essence is a choice of (a) suffer or (b) early prenatal detection followed by abortion. Unlike my earlier example (if a cure existed), this is not a nice choice to make, it's rather horrible; but I've had both the opportunity and need to think about it seriously and I wouldn't (couldn't) judge anyone who chose (b) in such situation, although it can be labeled as eugenics.

Thus, I have a deep dislike for reasoning such as "X leads to eugenics, ergo X is bad". Eugenics is a loaded, biased label. Any decision should be judged as okay or evil on its own; and if okay decisions lead to the label eugenics, then it doesn't make them less okay in any way and shouldn't affect the evaluation of that decision.

However, the word 'torture' and denying senses comes from me earlier reading about (hopefully rare) incidents of deaf parents intentionally choosing (via selective artificial insemination) to have kids that will be permanently deaf as well. I don't agree with that and consider it equal to, say, those parents cutting the ears of their infant after birth.

And from that comes the reverse argument - if the procedures become cheap, easy and safe, then in practice 'not-fixing' a damaged gene is almost the same as intentionally damaging a gene; since you could easily have had both options; chose the damaged one; and forced that choice and consequences on the kid. The main difference is choice of action vs choice of non-action, which are psychologically perceived differently; the Trolley problem is the classic example.
I would have guessed the exact opposite, that early-stage investors behave like binary classifiers who've been tuned to make a huge tradeoff of lower recall, in exchange for higher precision.

"— All Mac App Store customers get 1Password 4 for free. Yes, all of them

— All website customers who purchased 1Password for Mac in 2013 get v4 for free. Yes, that’s a nine-month free upgrade window

— Launch upgrade sale price for website customers who bought before 2013: $24.99 – that’s $10 off our regular upgrade price of $34.99".
Hmm, 1Password always seemed like an overly-complicated (though polished) solution to a basic problem to me.

Personally, I just use a variant of:

one-way-hash(master-password + site-domain)

Seems to work really well, doesn't require special software, allows me to replicate all my passwords on any computer, and passwords are unique to each website and seemingly-random. Use a strong master password and it seems like an ideal solution to me and you only have to remember one master password and use no special software.* For extra security, perhaps base85-encode the output and truncate it if you want a password with special characters in, and use a slower function (e.g. bcrypt with a high work factor?) to prevent brute force attacks if you're using a simple password.

[* Note, SuperGenPass basically does just this, but has security issues since it runs as JavaScript in the browser as a bookmarklet. My personal solution is a script which does something similar, run using a quick hot-key, that grabs the domain from my front-most web browser window and grabs my master password from the system keychain and then puts the generated password on my clipboard.]

Would be very grateful if someone could point out any security flaws in this method that haven't occurred to me!
SeaLion works best with the latest web browsers.

It's even worse without JS, yet I'm still running a webkit browser. Please don't discriminate against unknown browsers.
Great, while I am at it I will call "emailing people unsolicited" as "spam".
Like the idea, generally, but two questions:

1) For our company to make a decision it would be really important to roughly know the costs per lead upfront. Have you considered this kind of pricing and if yes: why did you decide against it?

2) do you have any special areas of expertise? A car dealer has different requirements than a biotech startup, so how do you cope with that?
Yeah, they claim it's in the works, but I think that's been true for over a year now. Maybe soon? An app like this shouldn't take a year to make, especially since the current version is so incredibly bad. Some improvement sooner would be preferable, I think.

I have yet to find any alternative that is even remotely as user-friendly. LastPass does legitimately seem to be well run and secure, but the browser-extension UI is horrible at omg levels. KeePass(X/etc) also looks decent, but it's .NET (for what appear to be good reasons, but still), has slightly scary code (lots of reimplementing builtin classes), and again, omg-horrible UI.

I'd love a reasonable alternative, 1Password is unfortunately getting too pricy as time goes on, though it has been hands-down the best.

But see, judging people is inevitable. Everybody judges everything all the time, whether openly or not. And in general there's nothing wrong with that. One cannot ever be so objective about oneself to see or acknowledge that something might not be as peachy as one thinks. It's about having more data points to evaluate your life :) and doesn't mean you have to bend to other people's ideas about life etc. Of course, you have to grow some thick skin for this and a lot of people tend to break down really bad when faced with any kind of judgement, but I think learning to receive it is a big part of growing up.

OTOH, being downright mean, or just an annoying busybody is another thing altogether, and, yes, a lot of people have a hard time judging (maybe "evaluating" would be a better word) without at least some malice. But I think saying any kind of judgement is bad isn't at all helpful for individuals or society at large. It leads to people developing blind spots for harmful behaviour.
I wish that were true of my BP stock. I've been waiting 3 years for the price to recover after the Deepwater Horizon incident.
I don't spend anywhere CLOSE to $2000/mo on rent, and I live in a pretty nice place in the middle of SF.

That's really what I'm getting at: if you're single and don't have a family, and you're happy with roommates and not living in a palace, then you can enjoy SF and not only not go broke, but you might save a penny or two.

Now if your life situation is such that the whole "single and don't have a family" thing doesn't apply, well then it... doesn't apply :)

In my opinion, your argument is very much valid if you want to raise a family or you just prefer to have your own place. Unless you make a lot of money, you're probably better off doing that elsewhere.

How is samsung learning of patent agreements that apple has with other vendors, and then using that against one of those vendors for their own purposes at all relevant to any of apples patents?

Your comments are not only useless here but outright pointless. Apple's tactics with patents have zero bearing to this article. I think its time to remove hacker news from my daily reading list like reddit a few years ago. The partisan/biased comments lately about things like patents are starting to get beyond ludicrous.

The eternal september effect is starting to wear me out on discussion sites. I'm not sure how you fix the problem though, or even if its fixable. Meh, back to work, least that is productive and useful unlike this very comment and the one before.
"New" here refers to "past-2008" – the salt was changed from using user ID then (https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/35923). Accoding to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgPasswordSalt salting was added and made default in MediaWiki 1.1, which is prehistory (something like 2003 or so).

The only "not good" part here is using MD5, but, well – that code was written ten years ago, and then MD5 was AFAIK considered perfectly secure. There's an outstanding bug from 2011 about replacing it with something better (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28419).

edit: I asked the primary Wikimedia Foundation security guy (Chris Steipp) on IRC about that bug and he said he's working on it. One good thing to come out of all this ;)
