Ask HN: problems accessing HN with dolphin
Hi, does anyone else having problems accessing HN with Dolphin Beta on Android?

About 50% of the time I try to open HN it just loads forever. Then I exit the app and reopen and then it works. Also sometimes when I hit "back" to go back to HN I get a certificate error dialogue, but it still loads after that. I don't have any problems with chrome on the same phone&network.

You guys should add an option to gift kanos to schools at a discount. Like "Buy 5 Kano's for the school of your choice." and "Buy 10 Kano's for the school of your choice."
Why do you think either of them want you as a customer? You clearly don't plan on giving them any money.
Precisely the reason to push for free and open academic journals that anybody can read.
> he built off of Zhang's breakthrough.

The article makes it very clear that his work is completely independent from Zhang's, which is why there is expectation that they can be used together to get bounds into the 10s, and maybe even below that limit.
>"There was no due process"

If you have an unjust law on the books, you can have all the due process you want while being arrested, tried, convicted, sentenced, and jailed, and that doesn't help you one whit.
"Just as the pigment chlorophyll converts sunlight into chemical energy that allows green plants to live and grow, our research suggests that melanin can use a different portion of the electromagnetic spectrum - ionizing radiation - to benefit the fungi containing it,"

One problem with that. Ionizing radiation is not on the electromagnetic spectrum. It's particles with rest mass.
A couple of odd assumptions there:

- That private repos are the only thing worth targeting. What if you could inject a trojan into a popular open source project? You could do a lot of damage that way, probably way more than on private repo, because so many people incorporate them in their products. Imagine they hacked the Rails repo, for example. Worse, some repos host binaries, for which a meddling would be harder to detect (a bad idea, but doesn't mean it doesn't happen).

- That the users being attacked are random and not specifically targeted based on who the user is and what the work on. Not sure if that's the case or not, but I see no reason to assume it.

The nicest description most Polygon staff could manage for the Xbox One's silhouette is "inoffensive" — there's no sugarcoating the console's lack of visual flair. Microsoft has created a system designed to blend into the other components of your home entertainment center, and it does that ... for better or worse.

It's quiet, and it runs relatively cool. But if you’re looking for subtlety, this is not the console for you.

Is it just me, or does the writer/editor not understand the word "subtle" here?

Otherwise, that was a really beautifully done review, at least visually.
Not positively?

I see similar a thing; I'd guess that they just tried a few common passwords against millions of accounts, rather than targeting some specific accounts.
There aren't any real ISPs with no IPv4, but there are a few that support IPv6-only "on the wire", where IPv4 is either translated to IPv6 using NAT64 (e.g. T-Mobile US) or tunneled over IPv6 using Dual Stack Lite (e.g. Unitymedia in Germany).

The main advantage to running v6 on your servers (aside from being a good citizen) is that it allows you to distinguish individual customers for abuse detection, who'd otherwise be NAT'd to the same IPv4 address by their ISP. And ISP NATs are going to become more prevalent, because there just aren't enough IPv4 addresses to go around.

What IPv6 provides is an escape hatch; a path that avoids the NATs and tunnels.
I am repeating myself[1], but that premise just fundamentally doesn't make sense. A huge part of dropbox's value proposition is that all your files are on all your devices (and available to all your apps on those devices).

Apple's vision was/is of a feature that only works on your Apple devices. That's not the same thing at all, and isn't nearly as cool or groundbreaking.

The hash fragment of a URL is not sent to the server by a browser. If you see dynamic data like that in a URL's fragment, you can conclude that it's useless to query the URL programatically by varying the fragment and that loading data is done by Javascript.
Lazy to read your tweets? Why not listen to them
Hello,

this is my first post on HN and would like to test the idea of having an app that reads out your twitter timeline instead of having you to read them. What do you think of the idea?

I have came out with a prototype and it's out on Google Play Store (http://tollyapp.com/). Would you be kind enough to try it out and let me know what are the features you like and what you wish was included?

Thank you so much!
Agreed. Don't really see the need to have social media embedded with everything. I just don't see how gaming could tie into it, though it might just be the bad impression of getting spammed with Facebook notifications from their games.

Also, if Youtube is any indication, users will prefer to use usernames versus real names, especially if you're potentially interacting with people you don't know.

Gmail undo is basically job cancellation, not really returning a changed state back to its original state.

Gmail can't "undo" once that job has been processed - in other words, when something has been actually done.
Welp, that made sense.
Pick up any (current) weekly magazine at a newsstand and you'll see the date on the cover is in the future. Commonplace in the business. It can be a little odd to see this practice transferred online, I admit.
According to the infallible Wikipedia ionizing radiation can refer to either electromagnetic radiation or massive particles.

I'm looking for free, speedy network for my data to not go through Internet. Data should be encrypted anyway.
Hmm. "Offline" is a bit more nebulous with a cellphone, since you can reasonably expect it to send and receive data (calls, text messages, GPS) even when there's no active Internet connection. From the article's breathless language, it really sounded like they were trying to say "not sending or receiving any radio signals," only then it turned out that they weren't.
I'm in my 40's now, and I am a lot more determined than I was in my teens and 20's. One thing that has had a lasting impact on me was spending time with people less well-off than me. I didn't seek these experiences out; I just noticed that people around me had less resources than I do, sometimes starkly so.

I think of these people when I am deciding whether to get something done, or read another reddit thread. There is a myth in the US that people who are less well off must be lazy. In fact, the people who have it the hardest tend to work the hardest. Having spent time around those people, I feel self-conscious even in my own home when I'm not working hard.

That, and find the work that makes you satisfied. Happiness is important, but long-term satisfaction is much more deeply fulfilling. If you enjoy your work, and you find it important, motivation will probably be easier to come by.
I am replying to ams6110. Mind the context please.

This won't work event if you have space in name because space would actually be %20. Only a carefully hand crafted HTTP packet would cause the vulnerability
"If you measure space radiation with your sensor pointed down towards this massive rock we're living on, using the entire mass of the planet to block the radiation, the meter does not go down to zero (even when you eliminate the radiation produced by the planet itself)."

Can you explain this further? Wouldn't it suggest that we're exposed to the same radiation while on Earth?
How does Google Drive handle this?
My point precisely.

It sure is a lot of stuff to keep unentangled in your head without ever so much as jotting it down in your daily planner for fear that it might someday be deemed admissible in court.

I wonder what kind of apps they'd trust to transmit or store information on their iPhones and iPads.

Speaking of technology that executives see fit to use, here's the billionaire owner of Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, pictured using a flip phone:

Apple would certainly like that future, but they've released iTunes and even a limited form of iCloud on Windows that can sync calendars, contacts and photos.

The main problem with iCloud is that they tried to do away with the traditional file system and force sync integration at the app level, and they tried oing this while still delivering an inferior solution compared to Dropbox.
You're not following:

"If you have saved your login data on any plain-HTTP site that the attacker knows of, he can use his JS shell in the news site to load the site with the login form in an iframe, then inject another JS shell into the iframe and use that to read the password that the browser fills in."

As far as I know incognito mode wont autofill those saved credentials. I think that was the point how incognito mode prevents this kind of attack.

In this attack the user doesn't have to access those HTTP sites with stored credentials by themselves while being connected to the evil network, because the injected script does that for you behind the scenes.

Can Twitter sentiment predict Bitcoin exchange performance?

Could you explain the relevant complexity, particularly as it applies to this example?

"It isn't that simple" is an utterly vacuous assertion that, while trivially true, is not even wrong. Of course life is more complicated, something on the order of 10^30 atoms were involved!

Is JonFish85 incorrect that the person in question could have chosen to abide by the terms of his parole?
He was not threatening to kill someone. He was proposing to take marketshare from another (very successful) business. Maybe he used the word "kill" but it definitely wasn't in reference to a person.

You have to dig deeper. In general, impact of soviet period is way overstated by foreigners (I'm Russian myself). The trend you're describing might be true, but some researchers draw its origins as far as Mongolian reign over Russia (roughly XIII-XV century).

If anything, Russian population always shows preference for a strong leadership (which is often appropriate to rephrase as "borderline or outright dictatorship"). Ivan the Terrible was saved from a coup by public support, several times. There's a much joked-about statement "Сталина на вас нет!" ("Shame there's no Stalin to set you straight!"), attributed to crazy old people.

In general, every time there was a violently harsh leader, some people will remember him (or her, in two cases) as incredibly effective. This goes at least a thousand years back, and probably as far as Rurik (legendary Scandinavian ruler INVITED by Russians of the time because "our land is big and rich, but there's no order in it").

We're also always scoring sky-high on "Uncertainty Avoidance" in Hofstede's cultural scale (google it, it's cool), and believe me, it shows in countless ways in day-to-day lives.
So, to summarize: yes, you might very well be right, but you have to shoot MUCH farther then Gulags and Soviets.

TV Hackfest San Francisco 2014 - February 5-6, Moscone West
Television is a half a trillion dollar global industry that is on the cusp of change as the Internet collides with traditional linear broadcast television. TV app stores on smart TVs, new boxes such as Roku and Boxee that have open ecosystems, transmedia storytelling from producers that involves multiplatform engagement and much more... The TV Hackfest will be bringing together Designers, Developers, Product Managers, Producers and the next generation of talent together over the duration of two days to get creative and build future TV app concepts with some cool prizes up for grabs.

Makes me think of all the popular media about the mob where a major plot point is getting hold of the "books" (in which the money from all the dirty business dealings is tallied up).
Dropbox solves the problem well when you need to bridge between devices that have different ideas about how data should be organized. Files/folders is really the only abstraction that is universal and somewhat standardized.
I don't get it...

This just seems really obnoxious to me.
REST could accomodate for undo quite fine. The server would just have to return a resource representing the action in the response. The client could then delete the action with another request, which would amount to an undo. This is analogous to the command pattern and would require more effort from the programmer, just like normal undo. You need to keep an action history and make sure that all actions are reversible.
Unless google maps either hires them or makes their own solution.
I don't think that's grammatically correct, yeah. The correct version would most likely be "из-за политики", though that's just a bit of a weird thing to say just like that.
And how many more rich people commit similar crimes and get away scot-free? How many poor minorities get the book thrown at them for far lesser crimes?

"Getting tough" on the rich and powerful is very much the exception rather than the rule, and we play right along with it by eating up headline after headline about Martha Stewart while ignoring the thousands and thousands of people who are rightfully afraid of the police on a day-to-day basis.

By the way, you mention "more ink" as if it's comparable. Being hounded by the media is certainly unpleasant, but it's not any part of the operation of the justice system, or shouldn't be.
I should have looked that up, huh? :-)
Great stuff you brought here, thanks for that.
Did you think about giving some clues on dedicated servers as well?
Looks to me that "cloud" offers may be convenient for a lot of use cases, but nothing can still beat the power/price ratio of a good old dedicated hw.
>See: Celebrities Lohan & Hilton & Martha Stewart, all singled out for harsher punishment than normal.

Harsher punishment than normal? Than normal what? Black and latino persons, for one, have been shot or went to jail for decades (and/or life) for similar crimes.

Depends on the felony. Selling drugs? Fine by me. Theft, fraud, or something involving dishonesty or harming people against their will? Not a chance.

I probably will subject him to extra scrutiny given that different criminal behaviors tend to be correlated, i.e. P(dishonest|drug dealer) > P(dishonest).

In contrast, if they have a postmodernist epistemiology [1] (or even worse, an inconsistent one), they've got no shot. A die hard frequentist would also have a hard time compared to an honest drug dealer.

No, they won't incite the same quibble, because "felony" has a very precise legal definition. A "negligible" felony is going to have a different meaning for each person that uses it, so you're going to need to define what you mean when you use the word. I agree with the other commenters, why are you dodging this so much?

Where can I read more about the technologies used? I'm especially interested in how you are using WebSockets to achieve such smooth real-time. I was always under the impression that WebSockets was unsuitable for multiplayer games like this.
That's a neat little proof.
Along with 2-factor auth, what about the option to block all IPs from outside of a certain country (if you live/work in the US, only allow US logins).

This obviously won't work for everyone, but might prevent a decent amount of brute force successes.

I take issue with that.

Undo is hard, not a core competency for most companies, and most users don't care. In fact, many users don't want deletes to be undoable, they want deletes to be delete.

You could probably make a stronger case for improving deletes by overwriting the disk space with garbage and ensuring users that no derivatives were left around. That would be a selling point.

Imagine SnapChat with undo...
This sounds like the way to do it - being able to get a /48 for every data centre and then being able to use addresses and subnets out of that, or a separate /64 for each droplet.

I wonder if we could eventually get virtual routers between subnets without having to use droplets (like the virtual networking that VMWare/OpenStack are doing)
