The difference here is that even though CT scans might be useless, at least the pictures themselves are accurate. Whereas 23andme told me that my ancestry was a mix of Nigerian, Japanese, and Iranian. Then suddenly two years later they decided I was 99.9% white. No explanation given, they didn't even send me an email, I just showed up one day and found out that I was a different race, and suddenly the genetic risks of what I was supposed to be worrying about were completely different.
Yeah, the megacompanies I've worked for would just pronounce the change and migrate you.
They mean they haven't put the data received so far into long-term storage, because the feature wasn't considered to be in production. This is consistent with the initial report.

So to make this true, they just need to wipe their logs and not set up the database until the firmware has been pushed out.

I do wonder if erasing those logs would violate the data retention directive, though.
And all of a sudden, that is the linked article. It wasn't before. I didn't think HN changed article links, but apparently I was mistaken.
For me, pretty much everything looked like OSX. From music player to file system.

And that's not a bad thing IMHO.

I'm even downloading it right now.
Putting aside the legal issue, what about the technical issue? If this becomes at all popular then websites will just start redirecting visitors using it to a page that provides no content other than instructions on how to uninstall it.
The first thing I did was to literally scan for that word.
http://www.infinisql.org/docs/overview/#idp37097184 gave me that impression.

Hey Mark. The overview seem to be much of the same. There's a lot of excited talk, which is fine, but should be limited to a leading paragraph. The fundamental issue is performance in face of transactions that need to do 2PC among multiple nodes (which also need to sync with the replicas).

I'm not much of an expert at all, but I like reading papers on databases. It seems to me that if you really did discover a breakthrough like this, you should be able to distill it to some basic algorithms and math. And a breakthrough of this scale would be quite notable.

If I'm reading correctly, there's no replica code even involved ATM. So 500Ktx/s really boils down to ~83Ktx/sec per node, on an in-memory database. Is it possible on modern hardware that this is just what to expect?

I am curious, and I'm not trying to be dismissive, but the copy sounds overly promising, without explaining how, even in theory, this will actually work. I'd suggest to explain that part first, then let the engineering come second.

I am pretty sure false positives are WAY less dangerous than false negatives. The cost of calling 911 when it is not needed is just money; the cost of not calling could be someones life. Efficiency is not the primary goal.
To that point, anybody who works for an ad-supported web business ought to realize this is a plan to rip them off by someone who really just cannot figure out how to make money without taking it from others.
Maybe change your perspective. Google is trying to integrate everything into one Google account.

Imagine if Github created the Wiki product with a separate login, and then wanted to integrated Wikis into the rest of Github, but then lots of Wiki haters got mad because they wanted the old Github and didn't want to sign-up for all that Wiki stuff.

The point is, if you sign up for Google, you get Drive, Docs, Spreadsheets, YouTube, and G+. They are different services that are all part of having a Google account.

The real thing you should be complaining about is that G+ notifications are annoying, and you just want to turn it off because you don't use G+.

That would be like if every time you logged into Amazon.com to watch an instant movie you got notifications from S3 saying your bill for the month is $0.00, or your workmate you gave access to your EC2 account just bought a new TV.

It's the notifications that are problem, not the integration.
thanks to the both of you :)

Your story only reinforces his point. You still went to the hospital. You still had test and what not done. Sure , you were informed about a specific part, but after that, you went to professionals you trusted.

The interesting consequence of this is that since you can react to the repalys, and the replays can't react to you, players will almost subconsciously play attack and defense in a smart way to win the game. So most players will have a win ratio of over 50% in a multiplayer game. It's a neat trick to keep everyone happy.
Because web design and what they do are entirely different areas of expertise. Their design skills tells nothing about their capabilities as sys admins (and the other areas concerning backup)
If you’re going that route, you need to block out certain days or weeks for travel and settling in. You can’t make any promises about communicating or working, unless you’ve already been to your destination.
You’re not going to get anything done on travel days, and wifi + ergonomics are usually spotty if it’s your first time there. Also, there’s lost luggage, jet lag, travel delays, and reservation issues.
Hi Hacker News. I’m one of the developers at QuizUp. We’re very proud of the product, but obviously we missed the mark when it comes to privacy and user data. On a cultural level we take these things to heart, and we take them seriously. It’s a matter of not having taken the time to review these things carefully enough.

Let me address the things mentioned in the article:

No data is ever sent or received to or from our servers in plain text. Due to a bug in our third-party network library the certificates were not being verified so a self signed certificate could decrypt the data. This issue has been addressed in an update waiting review at Apple. Users' passwords are hashed before we store them in our databases (pbkdf2, salt, multiple iterations).

Our user's address books are not stored on our servers and only used temporarily to help us find your friends. It was a mistake to not hash the contents of the address book before sending to our servers and we are currently changing the client application so it hashes the address book contents before sending to our servers.

Sensitive user data was exposed in certain endpoints (although only accessible for authenticated users). We have already addressed this issue in a server deployment and the hotfix is live now.

We are currently wading through inboxes looking for Kyle’s outreach. It looks like it may not have reached the core server developers. Please contact me personally at jokull@plainvanilla.is if you have questions.

Finally I want to thank Kyle Richter for working out our security holes, small and large. We’re currently reviewing our endpoints and codebase to further harden security and ensure the privacy of our users.
The idea that airgapping during DDoS attacks will prevent intrusions is laughable.

Actually, there's precious little that an application can do if a memory chip fails, or if ECC gets too many corrupted bits. If it gets too many corrupted bits, the kernel will generally do something like halt the system. I am not familiar with any application which does a write-read-write (or similar) to memory, but would be curious to learn about them. I'm sure such an algorithm can also be used in InfiniSQL.

I am familiar with applications such as IBM WebSphere MQ which does a triple-write to disk for every transaction, to overcome corruption problems. But even IBM will recommend turning that parameter off for performance reasons if the storage layer performs that kind of verification, such as HDS or EMC arrays. So, if an InfiniSQL user wants that level of storage protection, they can buy it.

Regarding InfiniSQL's planned use of UPS systems, that's pretty much the identical design to how the above-mentioned storage arrays protect block storage from power loss. I'm just moving the protection up to the application level.

Thanks for the conversation and thoughtful comments. Please go to http://www.infinisql.org/community/ and find the project on Twitter, sign up for newsletter, hit me on LinkedIn.

Hi, yid. For some reason I can't reply to your last comment. I think I didn't explain things well enough--I do plan to implement synchronous replication to protect against single replica failure. I describe the plan somewhat in http://www.infinisql.org/docs/overview/

Much of the code for the replication is in place (and it actually worked a few thousand lines of code ago) but it's currently not functional.

I have a big backlog to work on, but n-way synchronous replication is definitely in there.

Aborted again due to a flight computer bringup issue (again); looks like they might not meet their window tonight :(

EDIT: I think the most precise real cause heard was "abnormal data," actually. My bad and thanks to "kindredlight."
not that complex. your approach to the problems is wrong.

you start with the assumption that current politics belongs to the moral group, when it may very well be outside. so by that bad definition you think it is a complex problem.

they got by with the times. got great fortune, brought great misery. like any other "great name". so maybe the concept of great name always having to befit an hero is what is wrong. humans must abandon the hero myth and the desires for immeasurable riches to be able to stand ground on the moral field.

or you could keep the original paradigm and keep debating how to fit your data in the groups forever.
It's super pointless, it's just there 'because the web designer can' - the mouse follower and blinking gifs of our time, so to say.
Military routine, no kidding. I am an owl and during my mandatory service I woke up at 6am every morning and was so tired during the day that I usually fell immediately asleep when I entered a troup transport and sat down. Physical exercise and long work days (you are basically on duty from 6am until you go to bed at 11pm) were probably the main reasons for my transformation.

Of course I am writing this at 0.30 am, so it didn't last :)
I've developed/am developing an API in Go.

Go's not quite mature, and it shows at times. For example, if the tcp connection underlying your database connection dies, it won't reconnect automatically.

The standard library is neat; net/http is friendly and easy to use but unless you want to spend half your time munging request.URL.Path with regexes you'll want to use a different mux / router from the standard library - there are many good ones available.

Channels make realtime (ie, websockets) quite simple, and the type system means you can iterate quickly without so much fear of introducing bugs.

I can't speak much for the performance; we haven't tested it under much load yet.
I never said they were making good choices. But the fact remains if people didn't buy junk food, it wouldn't get produced.

I have heard these arguments, and I don't disagree with them. I think that efforts would be better directed at educating poor people to make better decisions, than to act like a collective hovering mother and try to keep anything bad away from them. And we often end up being exactly wrong about what's good and bad anyway (see: the USDA food pyramid of the last two decades. It turns out we've had it basically upside-down).

This is drifting way off topic of this thread so I won't say more here.

I don't think that's a counter point; it's a long discontinued practice of deliberately discriminating against people of a given race because other people of that race were too successful.

It's not something I support, by the way, in case the sarcasm in my above comment wasn't apparent.

Well, with vastly improved safety regimes in effect across the board, it's difficult to find comparable situations. But you surely won't find third class passenger locked below deck while the upper crust is sauntering into the lifeboats.

The super rich probably doesn't travel on the same vessels as the riff raff at all, but I'm not sure private jets are actually safer than commercial airlines.

I do think Ubuntu and its ilk could improve their UI and make it a bit snazzier (like Elementary is doing), but you can use them as a primary OS now.
Regular HN user here; throwaway account.

I'm a regular user of cannabis (I smoke everyday after dinner, around 9pm or so). I frequently watch math/CS lectures, write code, and read technical books when high.

I find that it helps me a lot both with focusing, and with creative thought. Ideas flow more easily, bits of knowledge connect on their own. I've most certainly gotten productive work done while high. Recollection is not too much of an issue, but I recommend heavy use of a notebook to keep track of what you're doing, and so that you can refer to it the next day.

I've never used drugs other than weed/psychedelics, mostly because I find that stuff nasty and stay away from it, so I can't comment on that. It's close to impossible for me to get anything done during a shroom trip- however, when the trip ends, I enter a phase of extreme lucidity and am able to focus in a way that I've never been to sober.

Relevant details: I am a cofounder at a small but growing SF tech startup. I also believe I have Asperger's (I've always been that super weird kid) & ADD (I have a really hard time focusing and sticking to a single task, and the feeling of extreme focus and lucidity I experience at the end of a shroom trip feels to me like it should be the way my brain should always be), and that my brain chemistry behaves in a very atypical way with such substances (my gf has remarked several times that I am way more lucid and coherent than anyone else she knows on drugs) - I am currently in the process of getting those things professionally diagnosed. I've gotten my IQ assessed as a teenager, it was in the ~150 range.

Finally, the bay area is super open to that. I regularly smoke weed and talk CS theory/math with friends who work at large famous tech companies, and a certain subset of employees at a well known large tech company with a knack for design absolutely love the Ploom Pax [0].

Plus, you get built-in Messenger, smart conversation threading, powerful keyboard shortcuts, the new quick actions, attachment preview and our beautiful new rich themes.

This is more than just Gmail. Well, I never worked at Google so I don't know how they manage meetings and room booking. It can be pretty useful in my opinion. For work, you really should forward mails to your work email and I mean a separate email account.
You are not allowed to just make things up. How do they know there is an elevated risk if they have not studied it? This is pretty basic science. I think you are probably suggesting a hypothesis, as in a bunch of 60 yo patients with Alzheimer's has this genetic marker, you at 20 have this same genetic marker, therefore you may be at elevated risk. That seems like a reasonable hypothesis, but that is all it is until tested. Until then, you don't get to make claims.
Referencing some "copyright industry" is like saying that farmers are part of some "private land industry." Its a legal protection that's available to everyone, not just one industry. Its also a legal protection that is more morally justifiable than private land, seeing as it protects original works of creation rather than (in the U.S., anyway) land stolen from native Americans (which in any case is a product of nature).

I live in Canada, and yes, I advocate for land/property/claims of genocide and other disputes between civilized nations to be put before a court of competent jurisdiction such as the ICC so that they may be resolved in accordance with international law.

Mostly because movie studios have more lobbyists and PR flacks than still photographers.

Also, Hollywood does vilify the various other websites. YouTube is an evil pirate website which Viacom has had to sue to vindicate its rights, didn't you know? And a couple of YouTube founders watched a Hollywood movie someone uploaded to YouTube that one time, so therefore Google should have to shut down YouTube and pay a billion dollars.
