I was thinking I would have to write something like this. With all the backend admin pages you would think there would be a nice template for it.

Good job!
If Java is whole source of vulnerabilities, how it's working well in servers?
How to start Ubuntu installer in a graphical safe mode?
Sure. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that nothing is constant, and that at some point they will disappear - maybe it's 100 years. Maybe 500. Who knows. I personally believe as soon as 5-10 years as their brand has already reached that tipping point of trust, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
Yup. The modern App Store highlights the exploitative nature of this business - just as MiniTel did, too, in the 80's .. Microsoft in the 90's, perhaps .. and so on. Sobering truth: there is a lot of crud software being made in these markets.

Bitcoin seems to be missing from the list of supported currencies. That by design or an accidental mis-feature?
Ask HN: Do you know anyone that can build art installations?
Ticketmaster UK are looking to source an art installation to be be build in their International HQ based in Angel, London.

They're looking to a student or recent grad to complete the project and there is a £1000 award for the right candidate.

Well, the reality goes forward and the customers that doesn't know how to fix this will probably be mad at the vendor for good reasons. They still use old, crappy software and it'time for an update since it will no longer work in modern browsers.
Everything I can buy on Amazon, I buy on Amazon; everything I can buy "Prime + actually sold by Amazon", I buy this way, even if it's a little more expensive, because I know it will arrive on time no matter what, and I can return it with zero hassle.

There may be a micro niche of price comparison within Amazon, because some rare / specific products are sometimes sold at wildly different prices on Amazon (and listed many times; not just different prices under the same listing).

And of course Amazon's search engine is completely broken; an actual product search, limited to Amazon, that worked would add tremendous value.
I cannot undo a crash, but I can resume applications just fine. In that particular case I tried hibernate first which led nowhere, so essentially yes, it was akin to a crash. Still puzzling, as that never happened to me (and Windows versions prior to 8 didn't use the suspend/resume functionality anyway).
Removing files removes a crucial feature: interoperability. This yield to programs that are ephemeral and not very suitable for production.

Removing files is in no way a plus. You could achieve better results in all aspects by providing a customizable presentation layer on top of files (that would keep the same UI, and allow interoperability; it would of course also need a proper security model)
The title itself is a paradox and any IT person should see that.

There was a bunch of other crap: a lollipop promotion app, a trojan and internet explorer settings changed.

Funny, but he didn't installed the Ask toolbar :). I did when uninstalling/reinstalling Java and clicking a little bit too fast :). Hopefully it's not as tedious to remove as a trojan.
What I'd like to see is someone fixing Active Admin to work with Bootstrap.
Eating too much is bad, and foodstuffs like Fructose clearly do not help. Fructose also has a link to cancer, which is separate to weight issues and should be the main focus of debate

However I agree with you that simply identifying Fructose as a smoking gun / evildoer for obesity is wrong.

There seem to be combination of special interest groups focussing on making Fructose an issue:

* Anti American bile - The school of thought that: American Big Business pushes this stuff, ergo it must be evil and manipulative

* Trying to sell diet books enriching the author. This Fructose issue is the fashionable kernel of truth that such books strive for; They hang snake-oil padding around such facts.

Research shows there is a strong genetic influence on obesity: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2570383/
Open source + p2p. Why wouldn't you trust it?
A lot of the angry comments about this seem to be coming from uninformed people who haven't actually tried it - that or something about this change isn't actually rolled out. I just tried it in an up-to-date version of Firefox 24, along with Firefox Nightly.

In both, with my existing old build of Java, I got a placeholder image like this:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1643240/outdated_java.pn...

Clicking it took me to the update page. Exactly what you want. There was an option in the top-left corner to forcibly load it, which is fine - updating is the right move.

Once I updated and uninstalled the old JRE, in Firefox 24 the applet I was trying loaded silently without any confirmation. It was not blacklisted.

In Firefox Nightly, once Java is updated, I see this placeholder where the applet would have been:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1643240/activate_java.pn...

Clicking the placeholder opens a prompt asking if I want to allow the plugin once or allow it always on this site. Very straightforward.

Other than the fact that modern Java 7 is not blocked by default in Firefox 24 for me (maybe they didn't roll that out yet?), everything works fine here, and I don't see any catastrophic UI mistakes, developer/enterprise-hostile design, or attempts at destroying the web.
Seems like consensus is the tricky part. In the case of the affiliate link example, where all of the business is online, you could host the code under a version control system that allows people to fork and modify the code, but requires majority approval for that code to get deployed. Also if all of the financial assets are in BTC, you could have a corporate wallet that is governed similarly (so expenses and disbursements need to be approved by the majority). Of course this isn't exactly an 'autonomous' system, more like a decentralized system.
Fast forward a year, HN headline: "Google shutting down uProxy".

It looks interesting and I'm sure some number of people will find it useful while it lasts.
The decentralized currency exchange platform found on the Ripple network seems more promising, as soon as you find a gateway near you that you can trust. Plus, you'll have support for other currencies (like Bitcoin or event local currencies)

may be corporate email policies.
http://fade.li/faqs.html
What lavabit was forced to do, was grant a back key to all the emails for all the users that it had.
That way they could listen/read all the emails from everyone.

Lavabit owner said, that he cannot do that and if they want he can grant access to the specific users that they require.
They wanted more, took this to court and guess what .. they won.

He was under court order not to disclose anything and was fined 1000 usd per day until he provide the keys.

Eventually he did, but he gave them 11 printed pages of 4size words of the key.

Anyway ... that is the story.

You problem will be that you need to create something secure. If you comply with something like this, then it is not secure. Someone is listening to all of your users.
So, if you fall under US juristiction or i would assume EU, a simple warrant might suffice for you to grant them all access betraying your users.
Have in mind that you being in another country and having your servers based in US does not really save you.
Best option hide in an african country and create your servers there.
Good luck !
Search for "clearly erroneous" and the name of your favorite exchange. The policies are often spelled out fairly clearly, though most (all) will include an exchange discretion clause.

Because not testing it can have unintended side effects at some low level of probability, and we all know this - mostly we just don't think it's going to happen to us. However, as the significance of the risk associated with that low level of probability goes up the demands for securing against that risk go up.

Computers are very powerful when placed in certain configurations. The more powerful the system you're dealing with the more cautious you should be. If they were dealing with an app then, sure, I'd have a lot more pity for them not taking precautions - such precautions would not be reasonable to expect of them. But if you're not being excessively paranoid about such a powerful system as was deployed here, then you're doing it wrong.

I do feel some pity for them based on the fact that there's not a tradition of caution in programming. And I do agree that there were multiple points of failure in there. But testing all the code that's going to be on a system like this is a base level of caution that should be used - whether or not you intend to use that code. If you think it's too much bother to test, then it shouldn't be there - but if it's gonna be there then for god's sake test.
mAh is measured at 1V at 1 Ohm. So yes, your 8000mAh stores 3X as much as the 2650 mAh battery.
Hm seems still quite a bit noisier than airbus 350 (why isn't it mentioned even once in the article?)

Be careful about trying to judge the relative loudness of the two planes based on YouTube videos since the sound levels in the video will depend on the type (omnidirectional vs cardioid), frequency response of the mics, and location of the mics (distance from the plane, position relative to noise emitting components, etc) as well as how the video is mixed and other factors.
What is that definition of adding liquidity that doesn't include "tightening the spread"?
God forbid. For example, whenever I buy an mp3 player, I specifically see that it's one I can use as a regular flash drive and simply drag and drop my mp3 files into a folder.

I don't want to use your iTunes / SuperDuperMusicSynchronizer / Cloaca 9.7 etc., I don't want it to "synchronize and manage my music library", I don't want it to start indexing it, I don't want to learn it.

I know how to manage my files and I only had to learn it ONCE, and it works for my mp3s the same way as for my docs, jpgs etc. It's a universal skill.
I thought the typo in the title ("Teamplate") was another annoying neologism, almost made me glad to realize it's just a typo! :)
The parent post may be pointing out that the point of this software is to automate trading on the stock market. It's risky if your software testing, rollout, monitoring and rollback process is not sufficiently automated. This second kind of automation is the kind that you or I are most likely more familiar with. And was lacking.
Yeah, but we have just now allowed to be fed even more poisonous stuff. It's neither positive nor irrelevant. It's a problem.
I know it's not a new idea by any stretch. But, I still have files on my desktop, which means either there is no better solution, or the better solution hasn't been developed yet. And I completely agree that to manage the complex relationships between files could most likely be a AI solution. But thanks for all the comments ... great to hear people's thoughts.
It's by design right now - we don't allow bitcoin at the moment for anti-money laundering reasons.

That said, we're watching that world quite closely - we could well support it in the future ... just not right now.

Hey, I actually just heard about CurrencyFair today (through the article I posted), and was surprised it didn't have a lot of news coverage thus far.

As a marketplace, reaching a critical number of users must be something to look forward to, even though I'd understand if you wanted to expand to select markets first (the article says 37% of your current users are in the UK, and 20% in Australia).
I know ogg is a container, I just never can remember the names of the individual codecs. And as a matter of adoption rates, which devices actually ship Ogg audio/video support? Next to none do it in HW.

And who guarantees that no one holds some "shadowed" patents on something just enough related to Daala to impede it? And... who says Apple won't fk on standards like they do at the moment, did with Flash/X11/... before, and will ignore Daala while shipping their own stuff?
I will chime in to that and add some references.

LCHF (Low Carb High Fat) has become popular in Sweden lately. You can read an introduction[1] and a page with references[2]. LCHF is basically a "paleo" approach.

I've had several overweight acquaintance who have tried it out and it has worked out great every single time. It is perhaps a bit extreme to disallow nearly all carbs, but on the other hand no other diet will let you eat as much (of the good stuff) you can - and still work.

Another blogger tried out what happens if you overeat calories[3], both eating carbs and eating low-fat. Quite amusing to see the results as nearly everyone is stuck in the calorie counting mindset.

The tone suggests this is playful, which is fine, since this is in no way secure. The FAQ has a few misleading claims though

> Your email's content is encrypted using banking-grade algorithms (256 AES) and securely stored on our servers.

> No traces.

> We were also growing tired of news about privacy issues and claims of government reading our emails behind our backs… it all seemed very Orwellian

It feels like you're kind of suggesting these things are actually secure.
While we're speculating about trust and such, the video mentions that it's a browser extension which connects to a trusted peer and uses the peer as a proxy. This leads me to believe that,

1. Since it's a normal browser extension, the source will be readable and verifiable.

2. It probably uses WebRTC.

It seems Google merely plays an incubator role here for the authors. Either way, I don't see much trust issues that other comments are complaining about.

Looking forward to trying this out when it's released.
Not sure what the licensing pricing is telling me here, it looks like all of the licenses are the same except the price?
> Sorry but doing things without understanding or knowing the true consequences of what you are actually writing, always causes bugs. And that's true with any programming language.

I agree with this in general, but not in this situation. Let's say you use a function you verify doesn't contain regex matching. Then someone else changes that function to contain regex - s/he shouldn't need to (and may not be able to) verify every single place where this function is used - introducing a hard to find bug. Who caused a bug here? In my opinion that's the regex engine/language creator who didn't decide to either handle this case correctly in all cases, or explicitly fail in this edge case.

ARC inserts the retain/release calls but once that is done there is an additional step where duplicate retain/release pairs are eliminated.
I like it. Nice and clean though, I'm not too big a fan of "flat", it gets the job done without too much fluff. For a developer strapped for time, something simple to slap on the back (no pun intended) definitely works.

Tinsey nitpick in UI http://www.html5admin.com/demo/ui.html , spacing between the input fields in "Inline form" could help, but that's definitely an easy fix.

In effect, they would also be sending all their sensitive, potentially illegal traffic to be read and copied by the american NSA agency.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_%28surveillance_program%2...

People proxying illegal traffic through the USA would immediately be "on file" in the US registered as dissidents, criminals, and potential spies vulnerable to blackmail from US agencies.

I can see CIA looking at how their propaganda are affecting foreign nations by seeing who reads it from where. Foreign nations could even see proxying subversive traffic through the USA as being a worse crime than the subversive traffic itself.

Think twice about using this.

I tested the LG G2. Better wait for the Nexus 5.

I really feel bad for people who think like that. A process where tests and deployments are automated and repeatable are vital to quick, robust deployment. Quick deployment without tests just isn't going to work well.
I think they should have just made their click-to-play UI a bit more obvious and easy to understand. It would have stopped a lot of these complaints.
For some reason, I always get a bit disappointed when I read an article about STONITH, and it doesn't begin with a pointer to the world's funniest joke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_funniest_joke). Now I know that misplaced humor in technical documentation can go wrong sometimes, but this is one case that I think it can help make the concept really stick to the reader.
I am not able to wrap my head around this.

If I have to run a database, say postgresql, how do I run it? Inside the ZeroVM or outside? To run the DB I would need to give it file system access?

Now if there is a security hole in postgresql, how is it guaranteed that files other than DB files are never accessed?
This is clearly a person who would have wound up with malware regardless. It's as if you blamed telephones for allowing a scammer to call a gullible mark from the Official Credit Card Office.

Hey Pioul - we noticed the traffic from your article ... thank you for that :)

<marketing speak>We're at quite a large size already, having put > .5bn sterling through our system by now</marketing speak>, but more users is always a good thing!

Sure, we have a large user base in the UK and Australia, but really, those users are international - they're not all from those countries, and that's completely ignoring all of the European users we have ... so critical-mass is something we've pretty much already hit.

If (false)
Mozilla working on the web platform has more impact. The sites that still rely on a Java plugin were expecting binary compatibility and a big vendor's security support because that sounds cheapest long term, now that it doesn't happen, heads in the sand or a web port are a lot more likely than forking Java.
The applet loading without user action after the Java update sounds like you had already allowed it for that site before (or maybe you haven't got the blocklist update yet for some reason?).

What you are seeing on Firefox 26+ is all plugins except Flash becoming click-to-play by default:

If you need control over the version and features of the browser your employees use then disable automatic updating and use a management tool instead.
You really need to come to a decision about whether you are friends with your dad or not.

Sounds weird, but friends stay friends even when one of them does something to hurt themselves. It just makes them sad. I can't stress enough to you how important it is that you make peace with this. It's your dad's life. He may chose to die this way. If so, respect that choice.

Having said that, something you might want to consider is a CPAP. Most severely overweight people have difficulty breathing at night. This difficultly is actually very difficult on their heart. Doing a sleep study and getting his sleep straightened out could lead to weight loss. It has in many people. If nothing else, it would drastically cut down on the stress is heart could be going through every night.
You know those big, yellow bars that browser and websites tends to come up with when they want to be 100% certain that the user notices something is up?

I've yet to see a single non-technical user even notice or react to its presence once. I see it instantly and can't understand why it doesn't alert or annoy them, but to them, it's just not there.

In light of that sort of behaviour, adding a subtle icon to the location bar is meaningless. Heck, adding anything to the location bar is meaningless if the intent is to communicate with the user; most users never look there.

So yeah. If that's Mozilla's stance, they will find out that nobody's going to notice. I certainly didn't see it. That is effectively dead code which they've written.
Bootstrapping A Decentralized Autonomous Corporation
This has to be balanced against the extreme risk of turning on java for every site out there.

A few users are inconvenienced. That few being the intersection of those who rely on java applets for something they care about (already a tiny fraction) and those who lack the knowledge to solve the problem on their own (an even smaller fraction). Even losing that fraction of users is unlikely to affect firefox's marketshare to any significant degree.

In the context of a company's IT department, they should be competent enough to know how to set default browser configurations and to provide walk-through documentation. If an IT department thinks that user convenience is a good enough excuse to expose the company's employees to some of the most serious and hard to prevent web-based exploits out there then I say fuck 'em. They have their priorities all wrong and if they want to continue to have their priorities all wrong then they are welcome to their own private hell.

Indeed, but the situation has changed now. Sun, just before it got acquired by Oracle, had open sourced the last remaining puzzle: the Java compatibility test suite. Which allows anyone to run the test suite, claim and validate that their software is conformant with Java.
The classnames are also not prefixed. This library was clearly developed by someone who is not very familiar with Objective-C and current conventions.
