I realize you don't work for Square...

I took exception to your comment not because I thought you were representing Square but because it seemed like your comment was using "fraud prevention is hard" as an excuse to defend Square's treatment of OP.

> I just felt this is a topic worth bringing to the spotlight

It's always good to have an experienced, rational explanation of why a company might have engaged in some seemingly-ridiculous behavior. Thanks for providing that. Unfortunately, such an explanation often gets used as a crutch or an excuse for not aiming higher. How many years did individuals and small businesses have no recourse from PayPal before Stripe, Square, et al. came along? Do we really want to have that long of a gap again just because the new incumbents can hide behind the same "it's hard" mentality as the old?

So while I'm sorry that I interpreted your comment incorrectly as defending the "fraud prevention is hard so let's marginalize the minority" argument, I wanted to make sure that I expressed my dislike for that mindset before it took hold.
Pretty much the same thing for SIM-cards has been around for years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-SIM_card
If used appropriately indeed. Chrome is a relatively safe thing to auto-update, since they have a very good QC process and most PCs have a fallback browser if things do go bad (which afaik hasn't happened yet).

Compare with for example auto-updating virus scanners, which in more than one occasion marked a critical system file as a virus and made people's computers unable to boot up. Caused a lot of damage.

This is why the people responsible (i.e. commanding officers, if the war crime was under orders) are tried, and the people committing them have to deal with processing it.
Why focus on the NSA or the intelligence services.

The fact is that many private companies have this vast amount of data, the big push with mobile device advertising was the accuracy of the geo-location. The fact you can offer really well targeted adverts.

These companies build profiles on everyone, but unlike the intelligence services who have a mandate which as some level is for our own personal good, these companies have no such thing.

The concern is that we are embracing devices that provide little, no, or obfuscated control over personal privacy.
This is exactly my point (to be pedantic Palestine actually claims Jerusalem as its capital too).

The App store isn't merely TERRIBLE to search, it's far, far worse than that. Someone at Apple should be embarrassed. Actually, someone at Apple should be shot for that abomination, but, alas, that sort of punishment is generally frowned upon in today's world.

But I don't think it's possible for Apple to sue dodgy app developers. I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that it only costs $100 to become a developer. So it's probably relatively easy for a scammer to create a fictitious entity. And even if it's not fictitious, can you realistically see Apple succeeding in a lawsuit against someone located in Russia or Ukraine?

I'm frankly surprised that there aren't more rip-off or malicious apps in the app store.

Ask HN: what is the hardest role to hire for?
I was just looking to do a quick straw poll in to what positions people are finding it hardest to fill in their company or who would be most desired if you were looking to hire.

1. Developer
2. Designer
3. Growth Hacker

I know there are plenty of other choices so please leave them in the comments.
Thank you so much for the nifty tools. Been using messenger successfully for a while, this one just comes at a time when it's most needed. Hubspot best spot. And Shepherd looks brilliant too.
The "out of the box" defaults of Pascals are something you have to explicitly develop, test and maintain in your C. Which means that even during the maintenance cycle, long after it's originally implemented, it can still break in your C.
Whiteboxing an Open Compute deployment isn't realistic. They're designed to run in non-standard racks with built-in power.

http://www.opencompute.org/assets/open-rack/Open_Compute_Pro...

The target audience won't be deploying one or two machines, they'll be deploying multiple racks. Given that we regularly ship customers full racks of machines and entire preconfigured clusters, we kind of expected some of them to be interested in the alleged superiority of the platform...
I wonder how much would he offer if you get to Final Four.

If you get to Final Four as an individual without FU money, then Buffet would probably offer a 50 million single payment and you would probably take it as it would still be a life changing event (see Kahneman's research).

However, if a syndicate such as the one in the link gets to the Final Four then Buffet would probably have to offer something closer to $125 million.

Not just for geeks
I'm an outsider, living in a country that has a serious record in the "violating human rights for political purposes" department.

I seriously do have a problem with the US military having this capability. The fact that there is no way to detect this intrusion, and little that can be done to protect against it - completely eradicates all value that I might obtain by having such a router technology in my midst.

Do you - seriously - think that having a top-secret, answers-to-nobody government agency whose primary purpose is the subversion of technology is a good thing?

Because I'll tell you something: the existence of the NSA is degrading to all technology innovators, everywhere. The NSA is doing to computers, what Big Pharma has done to medicine - made it so untrustworthy a subject that it turns a lot of people off the very real benefits that can be obtained.

Yes, I do have a problem as an outsider with the NSA having this capability. I also would have a problem if the local government had this capability. I do not believe that a free people deserve to have their technologies subverted for the purposes of the few...
Yet another attempt at reinventing the wheel, and one that's wondering why people don't like Metro, no less.

Gee, thanks for letting me know that at least some people might get some degree of protection. I might be a paying customer, sponsoring USA's economy as much as any citizen, but as I'm not actually American I guess this means fk me, right?

You only notice the bad. Go look for some good in people: you'll find it. But you're not wired to look for good, by default. You do have to work at it.. doesn't mean that people aren't good. Just that you haven't noticed yet.

Even C# has limited preprocessor functionality:

The only time I have seen actual conditional compilation used in C# was hilarious - I was given a pile of code that had preprocessor directives used to make private methods public so that they could be unit tested. However, if you switched the compile time flag to the "production" state nothing compiled....
What is exposed about you and your friends when you login with Facebook
If you offer some kind of flag that can authenticate without the second factor then the whole system is moot. I.e. an attacker can fake/spoof the user agent or whatever flag you're using, the reason its OK to skip the constraint on a mobile, is that if your mobile is owned, so is your secondary factor.

For all other cases going via cell networks is a good enough secondary channel of communication which leaves out any chance of being mitmd over WiFi or something.
I think it's nice to live in a country where courts still exist that are not influenced by lobbyist and politics. Especially since BREIN has been ordered to repay the 326.000 in court fees.
In voting, that 20% is called a swing - it would take a swing of that much to lose the vote. The author's called it a margin here, but it's the same concept - it takes 20% of the vote to move to change the incumbent, not 40%.

Assuming, of course, a two-party system.
I can't argue with the perfectly within his rights part, but why is the later issue 'laughable?' It's not rhetoric. It's a matter of fact and not opinion that state agencies have limited resources. I don't have their legal budget at my disposal, but I would take a bet that it's less than his.

I really enjoyed this article. I started out programming in C, then quickly on to Java.

I didn't appreciate the language at the time, but with hindsight, the fact that you need to worry about memory allocation and performance means you've a better understanding of what's happening on the underlying system.

Sadly, Chrome v32 has several bugs (regressions) and the unpleasant Mac-style scrollbar on Windows.

Chrome 32 also introduced a WebGL related bug where it calculates the view matrix wrong in combination with mouse-lock.

They fixed it already in Canary build, but where is the QA department? They should push such bug (regression) fixes back! Or push out a new major version.

Any other HN'ers focused on enterprise software with their startups? Personally, I love working in this space. Consumer apps bore me; enterprise apps strike me as having more interesting problems to solve, as well as creating more value.

That said, there's an interesting point at the confluence of consumer apps and "the enterprise" and we're kinda working there. For example, two of our products could kinda-sorta-loosely be described as "Facebook for the Enterprise" and "Reddit for the Enterprise". There's definitely inspiration taken from the consumer-app world, but the fun part is taking that, some really cutting-edge semantic integration tech, mixing all of that with existing enterprise systems, and applying it to solving problems in gnarly new ways.

I've had a version of this for years. Your post made me take another look at the code. I had to clean it up a little, but here it is:

He's essentially describing Android.
The complaint is against two individuals: Faiella and Shrem. There is no complaint against the company BitInstant, nor arrests of any other employees. The complaint notes that BitInstant was actually a registered MSB (since March 26, 2012). The charge of operating an unlicensed MSB was not for operating BitInstant, but for an independent operation ("BTCKing") by Faiella and Shrem.

In this case, there was evidence of blatant, specific conspiracy, hence the arrests and federal charges. That's different from the ThinkComp suit, which has broader concerns of inter-state registration. We've already seen government actions which were directly relevant to the concerns of your suit: seizure of MtGox assets held by Dwolla, the $500k fine on Square by the state of Florida, and the California DFI cease-and-desist to the Bitcoin Foundation. More of that is to be expected, against say Stripe and Coinbase.

We did recently see a wide crackdown (arrests and domain seizures) on the whole network of LibertyReserve and exchangers, but those were offshore companies actively evading US banking and regulations. The situation with bitcoin exchanges (and the other defendants in the ThinkComp suit) is of a different nature, mostly about the specific approach to inter-state regulation, rather than blatant federal violations.

If the ThinkComp defendants were directly doing payment processing for online poker (rather than one-decentralized-step removed, in the case of bitcoin), then I would expect another round of arrests. But the arrests would be for violation of federal UIGEA and bank fraud. Operating an MSB in an unlicensed state is punished by a fine, as seen with Square.

But please, point out anything I might be confusing or overlooking. And keep fighting the (good) fight.

Going on a vacation for us means, the less time we spend getting there the more time we have on vacation since we have to work it in between what work allows.

Still I cannot believe even on this site all the people justifying stopping every couple of hours for thirty minutes. Even traveling with dogs that isn't necessary. Top it off, all those stops extend the trip which means yet another hotel.

Plus my number one issue, the supercharge network governs how you do your trip, which routes you take. That can simply put some locations out of practicality.
Thanks. I wasn't sure about that.
The whole idea behind these apps is in gaining access to user's data. This is why in recent versions of Android user cannot control not just what an app could do, but whether or not it should be started automatically.

The "strategy" is very straightforward - first to gain "popularity" offering a reasonable service "for free" and then, after accumulation what they call "user base" they just change the rules (permissions). The idea behind separate "messenger" app is exactly to "hijack" user's messaging service by "forcing itself to be" default messaging app.

I don't even want to talk what kind of spyware Skype is, using exactly the same "strategy" of quietly "adding functionality" and having permissions to do everything.

There is no other "working" way to monetize user's data, but collecting and selling it.

The next level is just adding malware functions in "next version".)

I appreciate the sentiment. As an alternative, consider donating one beer extra on your next charitable donation and think of me when you do it.

If you're going to be building or maintaining apps in JavaScript, it's absolutely worth your time to learn tools like Backbone, Angular, Ember, or something else in that vein.

If you're more concerned with building a business, the optimization criteria are different. Your priority should be building the business - or at least building enough of the business that you can start acquiring customers and pitching to investors. That gets you runway, market leverage, knowledge of what you should be building to acquire and keep customers.

You can worry about implementation details like tech stack after the business exists. Worrying about it before you know the business is even valid is premature optimization. You are orders of magnitude more likely to fail because you don't start than because you chose the "wrong" tools.
> It sucks that most people don't really care about performance any more. It sucks when people causally dismiss people who do care about performance with arguments like "premature optimization" and so on.

Why? Really. To my mind it's good that we no longer have to care about these implementation details, and can concentrate on writing code that expresses what we mean. Like writing on paper rather than scratching letters into tree bark.
Not only that, you can deduct gambling losses from your income, if you're unlucky.

Ah, I should clarify.. the account does not have any friends.
I just spent few days dockerize my development enviroment and now Im able to recreate complete enviroment in one command - It took less then 100 lines of bash and dockerfiles.

So I put those files in VCS so the next guy could just clone the repo, run make devel and get the app running, ready to code on.

So unless you want to use Docker at deployment, dont split app in multiple containers - you got more running parts to integrate and no gain, instead use supervisord and run all processes in single container.

Theres few hacky parts (how to inject ssh keys into container) but so far its really cool.

I too wrote few wrapper scripts around lxc-attach so i can run ./build/container/command.sh tail -n 20 -f /path/to/log/somewhere/on/container

I cant share any code but im happy to answer questions at [HNusername]@gmail.com
You seem to totally miss the last sentence, so let me reiterate it.

*The conflict is formless*

The foes in the conflict are not formless, but thats beyond the point. When you have killed 1 000 terrorist, has the war been won? 100 000? a million? 10 millions? The formlessness is the conflict itself, since no one, not even you can define it.

Thus the conflict itself can not be won, it can only be fought perpetually. The deepest spy cannot discern what is needed to be destroyed for victory, and the wise can not device a plan for it.
