All of you other tech companies, all of you other developers and everyone else building the new surveillance state--We're coming for you next.

Given that this seems to cover almost anyone involved in telecoms, if they are successful how will they know?
Is this serious or supposed to be satire or something? Cause it reads like something a deranged person would write to me... Making comments about how Google employees automatically bring police, "All of Google's employees should be prevented from getting to work", etc. Yeah they do bring police.. to deal with nutjobs that decide to randomly show up at their houses and stop them from working, stop a bus in the middle of the street and cause a disruption, etc.
Menalto Gallery is fairly good. I used it for years actually, and I think it's the most feature rich gallery app out there.

I use a password that I keep in my head for my bank and creditcard. Another for Amazon, GMail, Apple ID and my Linux server.

And for the rest of the bunch, I switched to 1Password. It doesn't support Linux, but that's okay for me. I do most of my browsing on iPad and MacBook.
And "pompous," don't forget pompous. My house in Minneapolis is easily twice the size of that. I wonder what they'd think of me?

The typical PSD to HTML approach will evolve over time to {insert-tool}2 HTML. Since web design was a big boost for Photoshop over the years, Adobe is not going to let that audience disappear without a fight. Their Edge tools, such as Reflow (http://html.adobe.com/edge/reflow/) are the response to this trend.

Although typical all-in-one design/developers might prefer mocking-up and developing in straight HTML/CSS, there will always be a large audience that prefers visual tools. The opportunity is there for other companies to fill this need--Sketch.app comes to mind. Frameworks such as Bootstrap, Foundation, Skeleton, etc. also fill some of the demand.

Responsive design is still new to many and designers will still use Photoshop for quite a while.
I wouldn't disagree with any of these points, but I'm not sure what any of them have to do with Krugman's comments about the relative merits of austerity in 2001.
Why can't something like PHP to Java be done? It's been done for everything to Javascript.

That way they could simple move PHP to the other language, and write whatever new in the other language?
It's in the patriot act that the government is allowed to do it, so I'd imagine it is possible.
If my main password was: Teeter!Coin!Statue! is that "really good"?

I ask because I wonder if I should go more complex with that one password I remember. Mine is about as complex as the example I gave.
Personally i used it on my home Mac, work Mac, iPhone and iPad. Having said that I bought the 1Password Mac + Windows bundle family license, as we have a windows pc at home and more macs. no problems syncing, quite the contrary, pretty fast and solid
The definition of PSD to HTML used is just too lose. PSD to HTML will never be dead because images are the best medium to exchange visual ideas. Which, in the case of Web, are translated to HTML. So yeah, we will be using PSDs and translating them HTML in some way or another for the foreseeable future. Simply the good designers are evolving and more aware of what's doable, what's doable but pain in the ass to do, and what's not doable. And that's enough. I don't expect, and don't want, the designer to give me the design in HTML/CSS unless he/she is an expert in them for a bunch of reasons.

I believe that more or less sums up the sensationalist headlines.
There are two small very straight lines on the lower right of the object that hints that it's man-made. Really looks like something just fell off of the rover, rather than was knocked there from the ground nearby. There's almost no disturbance of anything else in that area which would be expected if that object rolled or was pushed there. Looks like it fell down on top.
Agreed it's more of a technical exercise than anything else. The achieved speed is irrelevant. The techniques may see some use in the future.

While I like the idea of using LastPass, I think the danger lies at wherever your weakest link is, and the moment you choose to index your passwords somewhere other than your brain, you are creating the potential for a weakness.

Specifically, if someone gains access to your physical computer and they figure out your LastPass password, what happens next?

If you choose to use LastPass, make sure you do it with a fantastically long, entirely random password.

Example: "3BA^h<VQgj+nL%KP$ (this was completely randomly generated at http://passwordsgenerator.net/)

For a little reasoning, look into how passwords are generally hacked. Usually, hackable passwords consist of words or l33t words (l!k3 th!5) that are somewhat related to the person. A massive number of people use the same words or patterns for these things, so a brute force attack informed by a l33t-smart dictionary (minus the definitions) often is the cause for a hack like this. Furthermore, in different languages, there are more frequently used letters and spelling conventions, which can inform the dictionary's ordering or choice of words. (Think: colour vs color)

However, if the person does indeed use a random sequence of characters, the average person doesn't usually go outside the alphanumeric range. If the password is only lowercase, that's 32 characters. If it contains uppercase, that's 62 characters.

So then, we can take that information and use it to understand the complexity of a brute force algorithm based on possible permutations and other info.

Take a look at this: http://www.passwordmeter.com/

(Disclaimer: I do not hold any type of CS degree or formal training in cryptography. I've listened to a few classes online though.)
I recently listened to a podcast in which they discussed that some Lightning-to-HDMI adapters sold by Apple had an ARM board inside which could actually run operating systems.

If it is possible to patent something trivial just because it is now on mobile or in the browser, then I CALL DIBS on patenting every trivial algorithm that exists out there, but "run on a cable adapter".
CoreOS:

During our alpha period, Chaos Monkey (i.e. random reboots) is built in and will give you plenty of opportunities to test out systemd.[1]

Great. While I understand why they do this, I don't want to have to setup a cluster with automatic failover just to try it out.

And then there is etcd. I'd love to use etcd - all I want is a minimal Docker image with etcd installed. When I looked, it seemed like I had to either build it myself, or use a CoreOS image.

I know it's alpha software, but that isn't a great experience.

Boot2Docker[2] OTOH: one 24 M image, burn it to a USB stick, boot it (in about 5 seconds!) and now you have the perfect Dockerhost.

1. Fix the file system. The company promised it would develop a database-style file system that would allow for easy and super-fast searches for keywords within the structure of the file. This means it should quickly retrieve every .doc file containing the words "Android OS." The biggest problem with such a file system would be the indexing costs. It is likely that a gigabyte of storage fully indexed as a real database would take 2GB or more in overhead. So what? Terabytes are cheaper than ever. You can always make this sort of file system an option if necessary for the cheapskate who thinks paying more than $300 for a PC is spending too much money.

2. Fix the Networking. How did the Microsoft networking subsystems deteriorate with Windows 7 and above? I have a legacy NAS from Cisco that no OS since Vista can access on my network. There are a few supposed patches that kind of work. Why do I need to patch anything? What's the reason these legacy devices cannot be used anymore? They don't work because nobody wants to write the code to make sure they still work.

3. Bring back the distraction games. What happened to some of the classic games that came with the OS? I'm talking specifically about Spider Solitaire. Where is it? Whatever happened to Pinball, for that matter?

4. Scale everything. This full-screen idiocy must go. I have complained bitterly about the stupidity of full-screen programs from their early pre-Windows 8 conceptualization. Full-screen programs harken back to DOS. Having a bunch of these running and switching from one to the other is nothing more than DOS task switching from 1985. Check the calendar, people. Why isn't everyone in the tech community squawking about this incessantly? Besides praising this lunacy, now some users are giddy about the new "half full screen" mode. It makes you wonder where everyone with a brain went.

5. And finally, put back the real Start menu. Microsoft can simply go buy the Classic Shell code and use that if it wants a good implementation. The reason for the Start menu was for convenience, nothing more. Taking it away was like that "Ribbon" interface—it's a way to impede an efficient use of the product. Why do this? Why encumber the user? Everything just takes longer than it should.

Windows 9 will be the end of the road for Microsoft if it keeps digging the same hole to nowhere. Everything the company does now seems to be part of some unspoken weird or secret theory stemming from smartphone UIs. It is all so inappropriate for the desktop computer. Microsoft is simply ruining the industry with this tactic, as we see with PC sales. My suggestions above, if implemented properly, would stem the decline.
I tried and paid for LastPass, then compared it to 1password. The latter is very nicely designed, and works much better on iOS.
The reason I like to use a key file isn't so much paranoia, but ease of certain types of use. If I use a key file, I could upload my KeePass database to a cloud service, but keep the key file elsewhere. I could also keep the database on a usb drive and keep the key file somewhere else and not worry as much about passwords I have to remember or how strong it is.

There are WAY too many services that don't allow for 60 character passwords though. I use much shorter passwords by default (24 characters or so, I'm not even sure of the exact length) but it's not uncommon for a service to not accept my generated (by KeePass) password due to its length.
I believe you're one of the few people who have that issue.

For most of us the internet speed is the biggest problem. My home internet speed has some very big issued on peak hours.

It's not unusual for the connection to be unusable for an hour.

Luckily peak time is usually when everybody is home from work and i don't really need to use it at that time.
Is this an Onion style web site or is it real? If real its utterly incoherent thinking and illogical behavior on part of the people involved. I still cannot accept its real.

It's probably fake-factory to prevent confusion with the Ruby gem that's been around for more than 6 years http://www.rubyinside.com/faker-quick-fake-data-generation-i...

That is true, but the OP was referring to the ability to inspect code for security and/or privacy problems, so you can decide if you want to run it. Just getting the source code is adequate for that.

Canada to host nationwide open data hackathon
Author here: It's sarcasm with a grain of truth.

This is a one person project so far, and there are tons of bugs that haven't been flushed out yet. It's not too hard to crash the compiler yet, and I'm sure there are ways to get it to miscompile. (I recently fixed a couple, where it was trying to put overly large integers into immediates in some cases). Obviously, nobody likes debugging the compiler or tracking down miscompilation, and as things mature it will stop being an issue.

I've written ~10k lines of code in this language at this point, so at least some stuff is flushed out.

I would strongly recommend having your GMail password be different than all of your other passwords, plus with 2-factor authentication. Getting access to your GMail means that someone could easily get access to any service you use that account on.

Yes, this means your GMail password security is likely more important than your bank's.
Arresting everyone is expensive and requires lots of people on the ground. This is worse because it instantly marks every participant (that brought a cell phone), and there's no telling how those people will be discriminated against in the future. It allows consolidation of power in a smaller minority than physical responses and provides less visceral imagery for the populace to be outraged over.
I'm not sure how I can do that. If he has a conscientious objection that's his right. I neither can nor want to force him to change it. It's a free (speech) country after all. However, I reserve the right to call this objection deranged, insane or stupid. That's my right.
How it came to my mind?
Here is a nice little anecdote. I previously mentioned that the official German Federal Bureau of Information Technology (BSI) launched a tool [2] to help the public find out if their identities were included in the analysis of a recently cracked botnet that resulted in a database of 16 million people's identities [1].

Germans can enter their email address and you are given a result as to whether you were included or not. If you are, you are advised to assume that you computer is compromised.

I told my office colleagues about this (who are German and not tin-foil hat wearers by any means), who immediately stated that they wouldn't use it because they don't trust the government not to spy on them. They specifically referenced the backdoor / trojan that was attributed to the BND back in 2011 as a case in point [3].

Personally, I think that this little story quite accurately sums up German attitudes to privacy and distrust of government.

It is (was) also illegal for the NSA to share most of the information it gathered with local law enforcement but that didn't stop it. There are also people fighting against it in the U.S., but that doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Also see http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/10/europe-wont-save-.... The argument there is that (a) a mutual assistance treaty nullifies Germany's protections because it requires cooperation with U.S. intelligence and (b) German companies are forbidden from notifying users if data is requested for law enforcement purposes.
Thanks for posting this, I was unaware of the various Faker implementations. I had often considered implementing a similar lib, but never invested the time. Now I don't have too!

Yeah, I'm was never especially happy with it, despite its shape being the GitHub g rather than the Google g; I'd prefer the octocat which can't be confused by any means.

By your logic, you should be in Africa RIGHT NOW distributing food to children instead of whining on HN. So, why are you waiting to book your tickets? Aren't you thinking about your priorities in life?

Generics handle most of the places where you'd care about overloading. You don't need a variant of, eg, parseint for every integer size:

generic parseint = {some_str
-> magic_algorithm(str)
}

(Actual parseint code: http://git.eigenstate.org/ori/mc.git/tree/libstd/intparse.my...)

And, yes, you can make things generic only in the return type, and have that inferred.
I used fake-factory because faker was already busy on pipy.

Am I the only one who hates the old Start Menu? I find it tedious and useless. I'm all for re-adding a start menu, but it should be one that doesn't suck, like the one in Kubuntu.

Also absent from this list is an updated console. Windows 8 still uses the old DOS shell. You can't even resize the window past 80 characters. It's embarrassing.

Have 2 kinds of passwords. A small set for passwords that could retrieve others (mail, password manager that you must have, computer/phone, offline/offcomputer ones) that must be easy to remember/rebuild for you, but very hard to break in practice (if you want, generate them using your variation of the xkcd approach).
And the rest to be basically random, long, with a big charset, all different for each site and generated and kept in a password manager (that should have an offline storage, like KeePassX, even if you sync them on your devices using dropbox/google drive/etc)
Oh wow...

Thanks for the link. I was just surprised to get the email with them telling me they will deactivate it if I don't do anything.
Personally, I use a self devised algorithm for each service. In comes the service's name, out comes a password.

An example of an algorithm could be the first two letters, the last two letters and place those around the name of the person who created the service. This is a poor and somewhat weak algorithm, but the main idea is given the service's name you are not only able to derive the password, but each service has a unique one.
You've got to pay into the system in order to solidify the dibs - which is what big companies do because they can afford to.
I hope that Google is working to protect the people who work for them. It's scary that nutjobs like this are publishing personally identifiable information and all but directly encouraging mob action.

Top Ways to Hack Your Way to a Cool Internship
There are other ways to hack dating sites that use other means completely.

Have several friends on the site, all with their real profiles. When you like a girl, have a friend with the most compatibility message her, and introduce you two. If such a "cool" guy vouches for you, how great must you be? She is intrigued. She hasnt gotten messages like this. And you go out w her. Not only that but you start w a warm introduction and something to talk about.

And if she doesn't respond to him, you can message her yourself, and bam - double your chances.
