Ultimate Meal suggests, and almost requires to be edible, a Banana and Apple blended in. On its own it tastes like grass clippings. Not quite as user friendly or accessible as Soylent which differentiates the two.
See, I didn't even think about it that way with the '/'. Definitely makes more sense that way!
I disagree that it makes zero sense. There are reasonable concerns at play here:

* Security testing is extremely disruptive to production systems, most especially if those systems haven't been hardened in any way. Security testers are not as a rule good at predicting how their tests can screw up a production system.

* No matter how much effort you put into a security program (Google and Facebook put a lot of effort into it; more than most people on HN can imagine), attackers still find stuff. So there's not a lot of intellectual coherence to the idea that open, no-holds-barred research applies a meaningful selective pressure.

* It can be very difficult to distinguish genuinely malicious attacks from "security research", and malicious attacks are already extraordinarily difficult to prosecute.

I'm not saying that the rules as they exist under the CFAA today make perfect sense.

Most of the "Linus being a dick" examples are him being a dick to developers, and several of those cases are "him being a dick to developers because they did something that affects users". That's the kind of thing that's good for PR more than bad for it, because when Linus rages at a developer for breaking things, a large portion of users think "Linus has my back".

Aggregating and marketing is most valuable when the service providers are small entities, ideally individuals, that cannot effectively market themselves, or where you're in a situation where there are numerous sellers that need to be connected to numerous buyers. That's a lot less true when talking about laundry service than market places like EBay.

Why Do People Call Ms. Maya Angelou "Dr. Maya Angelou"?
I'm not that excited by Lavema, but it lead me tagspaces (http://www.tagspaces.org/), which seems much more awesome.

It just saves to your local filesystem, so you can sync with drive or dropbox if you want, layer some encryption in between with fuse.
There's a mobile client, but you'll have to keep the note directory synced manually with a 3rd-party app.
This looks awesome, great job! Really nice UI, much nicer than anything these websites make themselves.

I definitely agree that you should consider A/B testing a landing page + example page tailored to women.

I'd definitely consider a mobile strategy really fast. [Removed this section, plan to check out your app soon]

The tutorial wasn't completely clear for me. It might help if your example store shown the inspect button at all times instead of only on mouse over for example. I think the tutorial skipped step 2 for me and there's no way of going back. I'd have preferred no sound by default but that's not a big deal. Also when you do support more stores I'd definitely use that in the tutorial.

The extension is broken for me, can I email somebody? Nothing happens when I visit a page (Amazon) (not sure if it should, it'd be nice if dragging opened the belt), clicking extension at the top of Chrome shows the belt. Dragging something there just causes an error.

Decisions could be more useful - some combination of their inspect pages would be really neat. Speaking of which, can I view an inspect page for an item in the belt? If not that'd be really helpful. (Just spotted it, the image that pops up when you hover over an item in the belt has the inspect button (again on mouseover), I'll leave this comment as feedback on discoverability there)

I'm thinking about when this would have been most useful recently, and I guess it might be helpful to let you know. I used Airbnb to rent a place for a few days, and was constantly just bookmarking listings. I'd definitely like to use something like this for that. Similarly I hired a villa from a different website (OwnersDirect, part of HomeAway) and used Springpad's visual notebooks to track a few places there. Again this is much better (and Springpad's closing..) I think the real strength is overcoming choice paralysis when I really have to make 1 choice. It'd be neat if you considered adding sites like Airbnb, I noticed they're not on your supported sites as WIP or otherwise.

Expanding on that above use case, the perfect scenario would be that your service gives me a really useful decision overview that is shareable (with eg other holidayers), including the info your inspect has + my comment when I added it.
One of the built-in models in the Wolfram Language does precisely this:

Yes but 2 days ago Truecrypt looked like it was backed by some serious devs (albeit anonymous).
It's not like a call center putting you on hold. The clients that have requested only microservice A get now a response immediately instead of timeout.
About the fault-tolerance, that's right, but you still prefer that if fault happens in one microservice it won't affect unrelated services.
That seems like a tenuous argument at best. What I got from the article was that it examined both genders, and that women tended to fall into line with this method slightly more. It would be a different story if it were developed as a method for gauging women's ages, and extrapolated to men - your reasoning would hold then.

Forcing the use of "her" instead of "his" is just as sexist. If we want to improve the mental model of the listener (reader) through the use of language, then we should make a conscious effort to be correct instead of argumentative, and say "his or her" or "their".
Also, the sample screen shot full of "lorem ipsum" doesn't seem very convincing. They might want to display some sample items that would look like something a real person would be doing at work.
I would hope that some progress might have been made in the intervening years ...

Fascinating that this gets 16 upvotes but the entire hashtag YesAllWomen gets nearly nothing. I'd argue it's because it fits into the prevailing norm on hacker news that there is no gender problem in stem.

Choices of items to include in bar and in video are the result of me juggling a need to resonate with an audience and a possibly over romantic desire to attempt to let some personality of we who have made the service to peek through.
I don't mind having a banana or an apple with meals. As a matter of fact, I bet many people will prefer that to give taste to soylent.
Pardon my language, but that is such utter horseshit, and I think you know it.

Just because my door is unlocked, or my digital property is unsecured, you do NOT have permission and should not assume you can take access. That is the scummiest argument I've heard in quite some time. You do not have permission to steal something just because it's super convenient to do so; regardless of whether it is physical or digital.
The website and product packaging is definitely more recent. They have reference to GMO and stevia.

For those of you starting new PHP projects, and for the sake of this one: the mysql_* set of functions in PHP have been discouraged for many years and are deprecated[1] as of PHP 5.5.

Hopefully it isn't too late to migrate to mysqli_*[2] functions or, what many developers prefer, PDO[3]. Should you choose to go the PDO route, there are some good resources out there[4] to get started.

OpenBSD is not auditing OpenSSL. They're substantially rewriting it. The net effect is hopefully similar, but it's a very different path to get there. Further, the refactor might introduce new bugs, and it can easily miss subtle bugs (we're talking about cryptography, which is not as easy to spot or to fix "accidentally" [which is part of OpenBSD's M.O.] as memory corruption).

"Theo's a dick" has nothing to do with why funds are being applied to audit and not to "just have OpenBSD rewrite everything".
The point is that most businesses don't formalize the requirement to hold meetings standing up. Either people stand up as a matter of course (eg construction workers), or they hold their meetings in comfy chairs (generic office workers).

Most immediately, sorry to hear about the brokenness of the extension. Send us an email at contact@agora.sh and we'll try to get it up and running. Reloading the extension and refreshing the page may do the trick.
They've always removed old binaries when they release new ones. They used to ban users from their forums when they asked for old binaries.

They've changed binaries too without bumping the version number and then re-released them unannounced.

This has been known for a very long time now. I'm not sure why people are surprised at the latest developments:

I think what makes it tricky is that the systems are automated and intent and authorization aren't so clear.

We never call up the owner of a web server and ask them for permission to browse their site. We just connect to port 80 or 443 and go to town. This is universally accepted as authorized use.

Now, say you're running a vulnerable sshd such that if you send just the right bytes, it'll log you in as root without the password. I imagine most will say that this is unauthorized use.

But what's the difference really? In both cases, you're asking the server to do something, and then it does it. In the real world, we have various things to look for. Private dwellings are off limits without an invitation. Elsewhere, a lock means you don't go in, even if it would be trivial to defeat. Or just a sign that says you should stay out. It's not so clear with computers.

People have been convicted of a crime for taking a public URL and chopping off the last component and getting a directory listing from the server. To one side, the fact that you had to edit the URL and the fact that the directory listing wasn't what the rest of the site was like was enough to establish that as "unauthorized". To the other side, the guy just asked the server, "Can I have what's located here?" And the server replied, "Yep, sure, here you go."

A few weeks ago, there was a story here about a blackjack player who cheated a casino out of a bunch of money. He asked for a dealer who spoke Mandarin. His confederate then asked the dealer in Mandarin to turn certain cards upside down for luck. Normally this would be fine, but the cards at this particular casino weren't quite symmetric on the back, so they could tell them apart. The request would be suspicious, but they used a language the bosses couldn't understand, so they didn't realize what was going on.

In the end, the casino sued the guy for hefty damages. And yet all he did was ask and then receive what he asked.

In many ways, servers are like that dealer. You talk to it in a weird language that the owner can't understand (or he can, but he doesn't listen in on everything) and sometimes you can ask it for something the owner would refuse, but the server/dealer says yes.

So while it's clear that walking off with somebody's laptop just because they left the front door open is wrong, it's much less clear to me where you draw the line with networked computers, and it doesn't look like others have a particularly clear idea either. Given that fundamental lack of clarity, I don't think it's completely unreasonable to characterize these guys as locating spots where access is authorized (and thus legal) but shouldn't be, rather than locating spots where unauthorized access can be gained.
Is this just an advertisement? How does it differ from the many other pre-Soylent meal replacements such as Garden of Life? The appeal of Soylent isn't just that it's a meal replacement shake.

I'm pretty sure that would be "a life expectancy chart". It's pretty unlikely that your name has any impact on your life expectancy. But, since name popularity is influenced quite a bit by social/cultural status, and those do affect life expectancy, you'd probably see some differences along those lines.

Thank you for your thoughts! Didn't expect this to make it to the front page and it's been great to get everyone's feedback so far.

We've decided to delay our mobile app for the moment. If we had the resources we would already be working on it, but we have to prioritize things with a 4-person team.

If you're experiencing a problem with the extension go ahead and email us contact at agora.sh and we'll try to get it fixed. There's also a little contact form in the extension itself you can use.

We will definitely be supporting sites like Airbnb, Autotrader, etc. in the future.

Decisions will also be shareable soon. You'll be able to set specific permissions like in Google drive. This is something we're going to be focusing on very soon.

Hi, Glad you're finding it helpful! The reason I didn't include linear algebra is that it is possible to do the day-to-day work of most entry level data science jobs without it.
That said, it is great to know for a deeper understanding and if you are writing your own machine learning algorithms. This MIT OCW class provides a good introduction, with video lectures and problem sets: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06-linear-algebra-...

and more to this...

usually these cases go to special DA Investigation units who invest huge sums of money to determine who was involved and to what extent (think full blown computer forensic investigations to gather evidence). even when the cases make absolutely no sense to pursue, they will persist on the sole outcome of recovering some of these costs... i know first hand, borderline extortion.
I think it will be really interesting in a few years when people start some in-depth analysis about the bitcoin blockchain(though some is going on today). If Bitcoin hits mainstream adoption it may be the first time ever someone can run analysis on a complete financial system. Not even including the applications built on top of the block chain.
Actually, the reverse happens far more often. If a company manages to insert themselves between you and your users, they can then work their way down the value chain and replace you as a supplier. It works both ways and typically the company with the direct consumer relationship has the advantage.
This 'hedonic treadmill' reminds me of the constant battle i'm in to reduce the bullshit I don't need in my life. It started with canceling my cable service and terminating my Xbox Live subscription. Later it led to giving away all my furniture and moving, only taking as much crap as I could fit in my car (and a bike on the car).

Now i'm feeling the creep of excess crap again. Entertainment systems I don't use. Drawers of clothes and shoes, racks of jackets and suits I don't wear. A small mountain of various bags, boxes, knick-knacks, toys and other junk I haven't looked at in 6 months. I tried to live without a smartphone for a few months but it was just too fucking convenient, and CHEAP at $70 cash! I'm back on the Android again.

Why is this seemingly the fate of all modern industrialized middle-class Americans? Like George Carlin said, a house is basically just a place to keep all our stuff. But why we need all that stuff, while the majority of the world doesn't seem to be so materially obsessed, I used to think was anyone's guess. Now i'm starting to think the hedonic treadmill might be a kind of social disease that needs to be treated more seriously.

We originally changed it to "their", but quickly reverted it because "her" is relevant to the content here. Would that we could as easily "revert" this dreadful subthread—but we'll content ourselves with marking it off-topic.

Singular "they" is perfectly good, perfectly historic English (there have been countless HN threads on this, with copious citations) and it's only a matter of time till the convention goes back to being generally accepted and eliminates the pronoun gender problem [1]. In the meantime, let's restrain ourselves from having flamewars about it.

And this is the problem about using null as a valid state for data. In many languages, using null as a valid data value just can cause all kinds of problem (extra checks, not supported, or problems accessing null data).
