I just checked too (https://github.com/settings/security) and I had 6 attempts, all from unique IPs. Asked a friend of mine and he had 6 attempts (all from unique IPs) as well.
That's a bit like saying that someone creating a web browser means it will never be as part of the OS.
Hm, perhaps. I'm not sure I agree that this changes the discussion much, because Germany does end up with many of them staying in the country for years on those temporary visas with government support, and also has a much much larger population of actually 'illegal' immigrants (people who were denied status or never applied) who remain there long term. It depends on the point being argued, I guess.

On the second point - you're right. I was thinking of the use of the term to cover the resettlement of refugees to Papua New Guinea under our new programs, but it goes both ways and the 'one of the top countries' is referring to the refugees we accept.
You got me. Currently, I am not aware of any. However, from what I understand IPv6 first will become a thing pretty soon especially in the regions where RIR's are getting close to exhausting IPv4 addresses.

"...they might be looking too"

I've postulated this once or twice on HN before: they're there, but they're not looking for us. Civilizations either self-destruct or they reach technological singularity. At that point, why explore the universe at the unbearable crawl of speed C, only to catalog endless permutations of the same old molecules, nothing to learn that you couldn't derive from first principles.

They spend their resources looking in the opposite direction: not outward, but inward. Down there, past ten or 11 dimensions of superstring theory, far beyond today's dimly seen fundament, beneath all those layers of turtles... that's the real frontier. Smaller, not bigger.

I think that alien civilizations just roll up into a ball and disappear from view, exploring the universe within.

Criminal contempt of Congress carries a jail term between one and twelve months, and a fine between $100 and $1000.

Suffice it to say, it isn't very serious.

Holder is still free because it's unclear from a constitutional standpoint where Congress got the authority to hold anyone in contempt, let alone a member of the Executive.
I suppose if you see repeated failures across a range of IP addresses you could temporarily block the entire account and send a reactivation email to the registered email address.

That would prevent a practical joker at work from locking you out unless he went to a lot of extra trouble.
Thanks. I especially loved the story about the delayed-feedback-causing-oscillations issue.

Is it possible to share some of the details of "postmortems" of large-scale systems in more detail? This would really help academics who are interested in working on techniques to diagnose such issues. Perhaps log files, history of monitored metrics, etc.?

thanks,
I have a single failed login from an IP address in Brazil 16 hours ago. And another single failed attempt from an address in Thailand three days ago. No suspicious activity had been logged before that.

The attacker probably tried a password like 'github' on the first pass and 'password' on the second pass.
Half the items I see on kickstarter I think are parodies, especially with the high design stock music, ideation sketches on the wall and the animated group brain storming sessions. But hipsters are soft targets full of much self-importance and wow.
Saw this cool idea. It really is cool, I really do want one (for Android... details details). What was it called? Ah! "Pencil". Let me just google that...

I know flickr-style names are kinda old now, but they work.
I've seen this mentioned before - using a tremendous number of IP addresses across a tremendous number of sites and over a massive length of time to perform a very low-grade incessant brute-force attack. It means that any weak password anywhere is always vulnerable because everybody is always under low-grade brute force attack.
This is one of the more insidious scraping techniques. At Blekko if we see the same exact same query coming in from a bunch of different addresses, differing only by which page of the results they want we temporarily ban the entire lot of them.

I'm sure a similar situation would work here, especially with a decent geoip database. If you get 3 - 5 failed attempts on an account separated by more than a few miles (and not along an interstate :-)) you can probably assume someone is using a botnet to try to break in.
"Why should I bother trying to stay out if nothing I can do can keep me out?"

Well, for starters, living by the conditions of the parole... I'm not trying to be too snarky about it, but given the choice of "fed up with a crowded house" and the chance of going back to prison for a year, the choice seems evident.

The question is whether the person really cares. Stuck in a crowded apartment, maybe it was a calculated risk: I can either get away with it, or I'll go back to the big house. In the end, maybe he doesn't feel that he lost that much.

I would do it for litecoins although, not bitcoins, since there are no specialized ASICs to make GPU mining worthless. I've calculated there are about 64'000 $300 GPUs (7970) mining on the litecoin network, which isn't a lot.
Considering Github is frequently the target of DDoS attacks, I would assume there are people willing to go to a fair bit of trouble to lock you out of your account.

I am kind of interested in this disparity. What are you seeing? Are you getting a whole lot of people who are very inexperienced but trying to keep up. Or is it more people who are technically lazy?
At some point I'm starting to see the appeal of completely abandoning passwords in favour of email or SMS-based token creation.

You attempt a login, they send an out-of-band request for confirmation. You do the confirm, and they let you in. Like a superfast streamlined version of the "reset password" email.

The average credit card processing cost for a retail business where cards are swiped is roughly 1.95% - 2%. The average cost for card-not-present businesses, such as online shops, is roughly 2.30% - 2.50%.

However microtransactions cost even more than this and escalate as you have more small transactions.

Once you have bitcoins the transaction costs are now 0.

Getting USD to bitcoins is obviously hard right now because it is not really a currency yet, but somewhere between 0.2-0.5% is probably what it will end up being to convert USD to BTC, however once that has been done all subsequent transactions are now free forever.

I expect that bitcoins will be a lot like withdrawing cash from atms in the future except you will be able to do it from your computer or phone on your banking website.

Also if reputable dealers like amazon and steam were charging less for items bought via btc transactions I think a lot of people would switch over really fast.(This is of course after btc stabilizes once a bunch more money enters the market)
The reason why it wasn't done to any great degree is that banks generally frown on this, and when I was last dealing with them a few years ago, Visa and MC would see a rise in refunds sort of like a chargeback. It wouldn't cost you a penalty, but do too many and you'd be at risk to get shut down.
The existing 2 factor auth basically does this, without the requirement of SMS, internet, or any connectivity really in general. The OTP tokens are based on time or a counter, and a secret key.
It's definitely worth considering – but for me with that toy, I've considered and chosen to accept and ignore any theoretical "catastrophic" consequences, much the same as I ignore the risks of dying in a car accident on the way to the park to fly it.

The plane in that video weighs 128g (~4.5oz) thats ~20% lighter than a baseball (or cricket ball) and ~30% lighter than a frisbee. Sure, it's got a powered spinning propeller on the front, but it's pretty low powered (sub 6A draw at 7.2V - 45W tops) and more importantly I've got _much_ more control of it than people throwing balls or frisbees have - at least once they've left their hands.

I'm happy enough to accept the personal risk of flying this "toy" with the same sort of common sense rules that I'd use if chucking a ball or frisbee around with friends. Don't be reckless, don't "buzz" people, try to be obviously taking safety into account. Yeah, there's some risk - but a little bit of self control can easily reduce that risk to near-enough-to-zero (and I'm prepared if required to throw myself on the mercy of a court and argue that I'd considered and taken prudent precautions to avoid an accident in the case of a truly tragic incident.)

A bigger/heavier/more-powerful plane like the one in the OP would affect my decisions about when/where were sensible places to fly - but keep in mind the eBee in the article only weight "less than 700g" - that's less than 50% more than a football. Personally, I suspect there'd be a lot of times/places where other people occasionally kick footballs around that I'd happily fly a one of them - not without a little extra caution, but given suitable circumstances I'd fly a ~700g eBee on the same cricket ground as that video of my Mini Swift.

What sort of felonies do you consider negligible?
Instead of actually deleting a record when a user hits 'delete' just flip a boolean that indicates it is 'deleted'. Then undoing a delete action is as easy as flipping the boolean back. For more complex application state you can keep a stack of state or actions (depending on the application and code) and then push onto the stack as the user performs actions (killing off actions older than a certain point). When the user hits undo pop from the history stack and push onto a second 'future' stack to support redo. I agree with the author that it would be nice if more web apps implemented undo/redo. I Iecently implemented it in an interior design app I was working on and it's really not that hard to do.
Hrm, so they do! I swear I read the article a second time and even re-skimmed looking for that detail before making my post. My brain really, really wanted to not read that next to last paragraph. Stupid brain.
Sorry, just saw this response now. There's plenty of bullshit that's pouring out of Silicon Valley, sure, but it's generated by marketing departments or startup CEOs hoping to be the next billion-dollar-Instagram.

I honestly don't know what you mean by "anti-American, anti-democratic bullshit." If anything, it's the Washington congresscritters and assorted legions of hive-minded bureaucrats who are pushing anti-American and anti-Enlightenment regulations on us out here. I lived for a decade in Washington, D.C. before moving to SF and the peninsula, and can assure you that congresscritters and hive-minded bureaucrats and don't have "love in their hearts."

To respond more directly to your point about compromise, at some point people will recognize that the system is broken and suffers structural barriers that mean it is exceedingly unlikely to be fixed. So political compromise inside a broken system becomes not only difficult, but in the end futile. Some folks like the seasteaders are at that point already.
I'd put my money on Canada, but the truth is probably hard to distill.
I just downloaded it to Glass and tried it out. The UI is nice, and very simple. You say "OK Glass, translate this" and then you point your face (the camera) at some text (there's a bounding box on the display that you put the text into).

You need to hold your head still, and then the software expands the bounding box to the full size of the screen. Everything I've described so far happens very quickly, and then slowly some of the words on the screen are translated and replaced in place. The lighting in my room is not very bright, and so far I've been unable to get full sentences to translate (just words, and just for a moment until I move my head a little), but I suspect it'd work better in high contrast situations (out in the sun, block text, etc.)

Tapping the side of Glass lets you switch between to/from English/Spanish.

Edit: Last thing, IMO, the largest downside to the UX right now is that when you move your face (even a tiny bit) the in-place translation disappears and you need to hold your face steady again to get the translation to appear. This would obviously make it pretty difficult to use in a real world situation (like, if you're walking outside – you'd need to stop and hold very still to translate a sign) but it's still super cool.

1656 days later, Canada gets its first national charity that accepts Bitcoin
I first heard about Bitcoin from one of my students, back when it was trading at $7. At the time, thought it was interesting and filed it away in the back of my head.

I look after digital projects for Pathways to Education, an organization dedicated to helping students who live in economically disadvantaged areas to graduate from high school. We are currently in 13 cities across Canada and provide students with tutoring, mentoring, and financial supports to help students succeed. I used to be a youth worker and I've seen firsthand the difference that it makes.

Six months ago, I wrote up a proposal detailing how Bitcoins could be accepted and how we could issue tax receipts. Management was intrigued by the idea and asked for more information, taking the time to learn more about how it worked and asking good questions to make sure we had all our bases covered.

A call to the Canada Revenue Agency (the Canadian version of the IRS) was more straightforward than I anticipated. I explained what it was that we wanted to do and they indicated that as long as a fair market value could be established, we could issue tax receipts for the Bitcoin donations.

We experimented with a few different exchanges and eventually decided on CAVirtex, in part because they are Canadian, but also because they have been extremely helpful. Still a work in progress, but it makes it extremely easy to convert BTC to CAD.

Today, the page went live and we are the first national charity in Canada to adopt Bitcoin.

If any of you would be interested in donating, this would go a long way towards helping the students who we serve and also to help validate the work that we have been doing to implement Bitcoin as a way to receive donations. Thank you in advance!

Congress certainly has the authority:

http://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/contempt_of_congress

>Contempt of Congress is defined in statute, 2 U.S.C.A. § 192, enacted in 1938, which states that any person who is summoned before Congress who "willfully makes default, or who, having appeared, refuses to answer any question pertinent to the question under inquiry" shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a maximum $1,000 fine and 12 month imprisonment.

Holder is free because he's the head of the agency that's supposed to prosecute these kinds of crimes. The only way forward for Congress is to impeach him, and that's not going to happen as long as the Democrats control the Senate.
I've come to a realization that rules and laws only apply to the "little people".
You could just as well argue:

"Look how well the expansion of FedGov worked. Spoilers: Not very well. The USA has thrived when it has been more free and stagnated under more government. We are currently in a 40-year period of more and more government. Strangely enough, stagnation and crisis have become more and more common during this time."

You can also force a timer on a per-account basis - e.g. twenty failed logins for one account from five different IP addresses -> set a timer on those IP addresses and a timer on that account. It's not simple, but it would help mitigate a mass-brute-force effort.
I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, she was very brave for wilfully going into that sort of an environment, and a very intelligent person. But remember that there are thousands who live in a similar manner in just that city alone - people who have been living in these environments for their entire lives, and who come to much of the same conclusions that she has, only without academic language or a parent's name.
After a run-in with law enforcement that left me with a bitter taste (I was arrested for a crime I wasn't guilty of), and seeing first hand many of the horrors of the justice system I had only heard or read about, I asked a friend of mine who had spent a decent amount of time in jail what he thought the justice system believed it doing for him by sentencing him. He responded that jail time was never about changing the people inside, it was about how everyone else felt outside. This is arguably the entire premise of Goffman's work: the police crack down on frankly minor charges in predominantly black areas has nothing to do with actual safety or reform for those individuals.
"But after braving violence and intimidation to get this story, Goffman now faces a different challenge. How can she keep the focus on black poverty, and not her own biography?" Indeed.
No, Alice Goffman is neither the "one of the bravest women of our generation" nor a "revolutionary," she's an academic who is well-off enough to get in the paper and sell books. Who knows, maybe her book could be the "Silent Spring" of the prison-industrial complex, but don't deify her like that - it belittles the people who actually do get coerced, imprisoned, and killed for living their lives.
> I have personally come to know a couple that have eased my deep hatred somewhat.

I have quite the opposite experience if you wish. I was never personally abused or treated unfairly by the cops during a stop. But, I still distrust cops. If anything because of the ones I met in an informal settings. In my extended family and network of acquaintances there are 3 cops. And 2 of them physically abuse their wives and kids, are very brutal and scary. In fact if I didn't know they are cops they could just as well fit the profile of street thugs.
The only meaningful response is to tell you that your question is rhetorical.

Every product is a snowflake, etc. Your product's brand will inform the structure of the content for that answer.

That said, sprinkle on a little hegemony, you've got yourself State Source (code) — as opposed to Open Source (code).

How should I know ?
I can't help wondering what the black women in the neighborhood thought of Miss Goffman.
That's an interesting idea. Normally it goes the other way round. Facebook has a fellowship program, and often collaborates with academia, but usually in "data science", not systems or perf. If you are interested, msg me. Maybe something can happen.

I like your idea, and I believe it'll work for sure. Because when people are not familiar with your product, they can only focus on one thing, maybe the most important thing.

However, I still have problem to identify the most important thing for my product. It is

- a better search engine
- build your private web
- resolve SEO problem for business

without "AND", how can I convey the value of the product? When Amazon has not become the largest online store, how can they describe that they are?

US Debts do not exceed the value of everything in the US.

They barely exceed 1 year's economic productivity from the US (~15.58 trillion USD).

And since the US is not going to stop being a country any time soon (and such a thing would be a calamity which makes national debt completely irrelevant anyway) it has a very long-term ability to make repayments.

And this is ignoring the fact that each year the US basically reinvests heavily, since GDP grows while the debt does not (necessarily). For example, current GDP growth of 2.2% means the US GDP increases by ~$344 billion per year. Conversely the value of all US debt per year decreases due to inflation - currently about 1.2% meaning the US debt effectively decreases by about $188 billion USD per year.

This is all somewhat beside the point, but it pains me to see people proposing the US has debts exceeding its capital and productive value as an entire country.
