At its simplest, you should be able to backup to another Amazon S3 setup, that's completely isolated, belonging to a separate account.

Backups should be initiated from a production account access key where "Create" access has been granted, but all the storage and maintenance by another AWS account with it's own access key.

However, I'm not sure that's technically feasible at the moment, without quite a lot of manual scripting

Well, pre-tax and tip, a burger at most sit-downy restaurants these days is 11-13 bucks, that's with no avocado bacon mushrooms whatever. Get a drink for $2.75 and with tax and tip you're at about $20, which was the originally quoted number.

For what it's worth, I agree that equality in wages is a good thing.
As the saying goes: Google wants to sell you, Amazon wants to sell you stuff, and Apple just wants your money.
I appreciate your candor and response and I apologize if it seems like I am picking on you. The truth is that this omission seems to be the norm, so these comments should not be read as directed at you but at online activists in general.[^1]

In my opinion there seems to be a problem of priorities and perspective. The goal is not "making a site" instead it should be "creating an awareness /advocacy campaign." When viewed from this perspective collecting materials for citizen education is the first step, or "1. Register domain, 2. Collect materials for education" and at the very least "X. Collect materials, X+1. Launch site."

For a really long running game that is guaranteed to lose you friends, try Riskopoly ( http://www.gilwood.org/riskopoly.htm ).

I describe it as Risk with a military-industrial complex.
Yes, please do! Would love the feedback. Are you using Chrome?
I agree that the dynamic perspective and angle detection just seems like a gimmick.

The 2 serious uses for it I can see are:

* Scrolling through things by tilting the phone. Personally I think this seems like a useful feature.

* Playing certain mobile games.

For general use, I don't think it'd be that helpful or aesthetically appealing other than "oh that looks cool". I don't really see the purpose of it when looking at maps, or especially looking at your home screen... In fact I imagine many people may find it annoying in many of the phone views.

Probably because of the part where they say this isn't the whole story: "This took place over a 12 hour period which I have condensed into this very brief explanation, which I will elaborate on more once we have managed our customers needs."
>Their non-negotiable salary demand of approximately US$1170 in base pay plus another US$470 in benefits takes them into the upper percentile of all South Africans and is more than a software developer with a three-year degree earns on entering the workplace.

Well, miners in general create more value for their country and the world than the average "software developer with a three-year degree". Without modern computers you'd live in a 60s - 70s kind of society -- not very advanced technologically but tolerable. Without mining we'd live in a 1000 B.C. kind of environment (actually worse -- they still mined stuff back then).

Heck, without miners there wouldn't even be computers for the software developer to work on (CPUs, batteries etc materials very much tied to mining)!

>Those types of wages aren't sustainable

Says who? The mining companies? The same companies who used child labor ("coal breakers") and paid miners a pittance while making a killing throughout the 20th century, especially taking advantage of immigrant and black miners?
Packaged in a signed browser extension is a good start. Or packaged in a signed desktop app that runs JS to drive the UI (xulrunner, node-webkit, ...).

In general, anywhere you aren't basically doing what amounts to an eval() on an external resource (so packaging everything locally, aggressively filtering XSS attacks) can be a good use of JS crypto.

I don't think JS crypto itself is the issue. I think the issue is more pulling your code from an external, ultimately untrusted source. You can do this in many languages, and it's equally a Terrible Idea in all of them. Granted, some things auto-update and can verify an update via a packaged public key, but the model of continuously downloading code on each run, while easier on app developers, is a ticking time bomb for crypto.
I would think that constantly tilting the screen will consantly change the view. And the reflections of the suroundings. Just when you have a good view of the screen, you need to change it in order to navigate.

In my experience this is not at all true. I would say that Swedes are known for their fluency in English and not knowing any Swedish, but speaking English, is not a problem in Sweden at all. I have people at my job that have lived here for 7-8 years and have still not learned to speak Swedish but manage to stay employed regardless.If you speak English and is good at what you do, you will find a job.
What sucks about this, and Android in general, is that if you have an app that uses Maps or Push or a bunch of other basic features, you have to write tricky duplicate code to make it work with both Amazon and Google's systems and jump through hoops to make it work on both devices. And it's getting worse with Google's moving more functionality into their proprietary Play Services lib.

You would think that Android's vaunted Intent system would be perfect for this, but Intents are basically dead for cross-system functionality, there few open Intents published with android.intent.action., a lot of the good stuff is published by google as com.android. (which should really be com.google.*) so you can't rely on it unless you know you're running on a google phone.

Google is not really working towards the interest of AOSP, it should be taken from Google's full control and placed under a neutral body so its full potential for developers can be realized.

Temperature sensing and microphones are literally dirt cheap. Moisture sensing is a bit harder. Are there any off the shelf solutions that recharge using solar, sense temperature, and can attach themselves to your WiFi? Even better: Any that use Cellular networking?

Doesn't seem like the rotary phone case will protect it very much from the environment (water around it carefully, I suppose, but what if you get a downpour?) Not sure what you can do if the temperature is the problem you're notified about, either...
It's true, Cap'n Proto is not a complete solution yet, and in particular there's a lot of work to be done on RPC. Currently RPC can operate over any arbitrary two-way byte stream you give it (e.g. a TCP connection), but if you want encryption then it's up to you to provide a stream that does encryption.

I'd like to build more of this into the system. In fact, it's probably a requirement for sandstorm.io (my main project). It'll take time, though.

FWIW, Cap'n Proto RPC is working great in Sandstorm as a way for sandboxed processes to communicate with the supervisor. This is entirely IPC so far, so encryption is not needed.

The Resistance is a great bluffing and lying game. I don't think it's enough to lose friends because each game doesn't last very long (roughly 20 min.), so it gives other people a chance to exact revenge or screw other people over in future rounds. However, the length of each game can go up dramatically with arguing and bickering, thus the possibility of ruined friendships.
That could be it. But there is a certain dissonance about this whole thing, I try to imagine myself in the same situation and the whole thing weirds me out. How could this mysterious hacker have known they had no other backups? Have they talked to LE at all at this point? Why not string the guy along, buy time, immediately alert amazon to lock the account completely?

So many questions. Anyway, they'll be updating this sooner or later, I just can't help but feel a bit weirded out by some of the things in there (and things that should be in there that are not).

This is most likely just my professional paranoia acting up. And of course it is easy enough to be back-seat driver here, I'd hate to be in their shoes, no matter how they got there.

You shop while holding your phone in front of your face?

Mine's in my pocket when I'm at the store.
Perhaps the Fire phone is targeted a new segment that neither Android nor iPhone.

People that aren't interested in the high end features of smart phones as they are now - people who might even choose a flip phone - but will spend money shopping for traditional items.

Some studies say iOS users (as a whole) are more willing to spend money through their phone than other demographics, but are they willing to spend on what Amazon is selling? This seems to refer mostly to musics, apps.

Cover the internet/messaging basics, offer quick & easy support, make traditional shopping easy - plus add price comparisons and you may tap a large non-tech segment.
A tilt UI is ridiculous. In many environments, there will be horrible glare at many angles due to overhead light sources. If you want to solve the finger-in-front-of-the-screen problem, put a capacitive touchpad on the back.

I didn't get the impression jerf was arguing for perfect security, as much that they were saying that securing only against a passive attacker is as useful for the user as not using TLS at all.

Back in 2009 I was playing a game with Brian Ecton. My Germany was on the decline -- I'd played the preceding game with the Austrian player and the tournament director erred and put us next to each other again. It was my turn to read the orders and Brian stepped out for a smoke. When I got to Brian's England, I intentionally misread his orders and put his army into disarray. He was a bit cross when he returned to the table.

The link doesn't say. And if anything it was not because there was an open-source part of the phone OS.

For one, on active, sold, phones, the device code is compiled anyway.

<quote>I see this a lot of HN, and I wonder if people are just assuming?

If you see any ads on your apps, you're buying the wrong ones.

If you mean website ads, then you can thank Google for that - I'm pretty sure that a significant majority of all web ads use Google's ad networks. Of course, thanks to Apple's double-tap for zoom, I usually bypass most of this visual cruft when browsing on my iPhone.
Fantastic writing.

It depends a lot on your personal situation, but if you subtract stuff you'd otherwise have to pay for, the taxes aren't that high in Scandinavia, in my experience. For example, I pay ~35% effective income tax in Denmark, but that includes my healthcare, which in the U.S. is paid for separately. When I lived in the U.S., insurance premiums came right out of my paycheck, like taxes did, another ~10% of my income taken off the top. The balance is even more favorable if you have kids: paid paternity and maternity leave, subsidized childcare, free preschool, no saving for college, are all benefits included in that tax payment.

The problem with this argument is that you stop passing the buck when it's convenient for your argument, not to its actual conclusion. The only reality any one of us can actually be sure of is each of our own minds[0], therefore the only way to keep information secure is to never share it. Even then, our brains in vats could be under constant monitoring and decoding, therefore making secrecy a futile exercise altogether.

Because a solipsistic worldview is, perhaps, irrelevant to everyday life, we begin to operate on assumptions based on information that's infeasible for us to know for certain. This is what you must do to talk about security on the Internet: limit the domain of the problem by making assumptions about the Internet's infrastructure. You're right that it will never be possible to share a secret on the Internet without risk, that's not the point of this article or any others that indicate the flaws of JavaScript cryptography.

The best and clearest explanation of the different options I've read yet. Thanks guys.

Not sure why you're downvoted, I also hate Shake to Undo.
Take a look at what you wrote. You're not attempting to explain a difference in the standard deviation of male and female test scores - backed by data - in an exercise of positive scholarship. Putting aside the hilariously sexist conclusions other people drew from that data, you are not Larry Summers.

All you're doing is giving normative advice about what men and women's identities should look like. You're claiming that women will always be unhappy with partners whose identities depend on their partner, and you're also saying that it's unacceptable for men to do that. There are no logical arguments being made here. It's pure misogyny.

And maybe I'm the only one in this thread who has the balls to call you out. Newsflash: men can think women are people too. Now go read about the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechdel_test - it's fascinating.
For me, because I usually don't have to write a full fledged paper, only short math articles.

I use Pandoc + pandoc-citeproc + mathjax and a Haskell code to make it more useful for writing math on the web. (basically, define theorem enviroments, and allow one to refer to theorems from before) https://github.com/Mgccl/blog/blob/master/mathdoc.hs

It is almost good enough, the only problem is there is no way to number the sections and refer to sections. Note it can be fixed in the output side.

When I was at my last gig we had a very active board game community and Diplomacy was eventually brought out. We played twice while I was there and it sowed an unbelievable amount of enmity and discord. It was incredibly fun.

The first time we played a majority of the players had never played before. We got through one "year" a week, with Spring and Autumn troop movements due by the end of the day on Tuesday and Thursday respectively. Then we'd resolve conflicts and submit build or retreat orders. Then we'd plot.

It was really fun but I think it was too fun - I think office productivity seriously suffered for it. Especially considering the amount of time we spent thinking/scheming/talking versus the scarce minutes in the evening actually "playing" the game. Still an amazingly well balanced game once you understand the subtleties. I fared extremely poorly by treating it like Risk and being far too aggressive. On my second playthrough I became much more docile and cooperative, and was thoroughly stabbed in the back for being so trusting.
Calling a game an "indie game" is like buying a six-pack of beer on sale and offering it to your friends as "on-sale-beer."

Having once found a ridiculously low-priced case of Olympia Beer (while living in Olympia, Washington, no less), bringing it back to the house, and remembering the resulting truly awful hangovers, I have to comment that while "on-sale-beer" isn't a genre or a brewing style, it is definitely a notable category to look out for. (And avoid.)
The funny thing is, they're not competing on price. Sans contract, this phone is a hefty $649.

When I heard Amazon would have a phone, I thought for sure it would be very cheap, possibly even free with Prime membership. That would be a game-changing move.

Now, it's just another Android phone, albeit with a couple extra bells and whistles. But with an inferior app store.

Abi made the logo and did some of the css, he did so in record time after I put in a call here on HN if there was someone that could do some design. I was not aware of his SEO activities and I promise solemnly that he did not do anything of the sort for reocities. You're really trying very hard here to tie me to SEO activity, I have no idea what it is that you think you're proving but I'm not going to lose any sleep over that.

As for the rest of your rather long comment, in creating reocities, I, right along with archive team and a bunch of others performed a public service, at considerable expense both in time and funds I might add.

If you feel that your content was copied unjustly then you are free to use the self-service tool to remove it, and if you can't use the self service tool then I'll remove it for you on first request (assuming you are the author of the content).

I've received many thousands of notes from people who were extremely happy their content got saved, and many thousands of requests to remove content, the vast majority of which have been honored. A few by people who are not the original creators were not honored (most of these: SEO scum trying to increase the visibility of their customers by attempting to force offline pages that they don't like).

If you feel like mis-characterizing this you're totally welcome to do so, but I fear that that says more about you than it does about me.

This bullshit tie-in with Prime and some stupid streaming crap I don't want has just left a sour taste in my mouth.
"In contrast most teams I work with collaborate at the feature level: engineers work on the same feature, implementing different pieces together, before moving on to the next feature"

Collaboration is much better with private offices. If Steve and Jim and Sally are working on a feature together then they can all take their laptops into Steves office and work on it together.

On the other hand even something as simple as pair programming in an open office can disturb dozens of other people. Where I work teams will book out meeting rooms for a few days at a time just to be able to collaborate without annoying the rest of the floor.
And if you already have Prime? Do they refund a year of your subscription?
Or you might not want to mix the people you play Diplomacy with and your friends. :-)

I love the game in theory, but I felt too bad after backstabbing people. (So if we ever play, trust me! :-) )
