Two very different problems, though both are locks. In the case of a car you don't always get to choose the security of the community it lives in. Its portability, price and effective lifespan dictate different standards of security.

In the US the average length of car ownership is at an all time high of 6 years. You can reasonably expect the locks to outlive your interest in the vehicle. Whereas (and this is all quick googling to get to a point, so anyone feel free to correct my figures) the average ownership of a home is 20 years. Now, while locks can certainly survive that long, it's a good idea to replace them once in a while.

Additionally, in the rental market where turnover is significantly higher, there are often laws that require the regular changing of the locks from tenant to tenant.

And - another factor - insurance standards related to security on cars are much more robust than insurance related to security on buildings. You can occasionally find a break for having a second lock, or deadbolt, etc. but your returns on insurance breaks diminish completely as you invest in higher end physical security.

All of this is to say - door locks are a commoditized after-market product that are influenced by geography. They are made to be replaced/maintained by the user and there will always be a thriving budget marketplace for them. Your car locks, on the other hand, are never meant to be worked on by the user, are rarely replaced and have almost no competitive after-market.

Hope that helps lay out some of the differences between the two.

(and I could go on. Lot of other stuff around OEM, cost of production, ability to sell on security, etc. etc.)
Looks good on a resume.
Many national brands have some kind of inspection behind them - UL listed, or FDA approved. I'm wondering what a 'brand' printed on a laser printer in somebody's garage is worth, in terms of product safety.
WebRTC is not supported on iOS.
We will develop an iOS app shortly to fix that. Currently a web based tool only, to test interest.

You mean like any boomer who bought a house in NYC or SF or DC in the 1980's? The point is that taxi medallion owners aren't Goldman Sachs-esque financial fatcats. That's an absurd part of the Uber versus taxi cab narrative.

I personally use encfs for my sensitive data.
It seems like whichever cloud storage provider nails the "family plan" is going to make a lot of money. My bet is that Apple will do that for iCloud before other companies figure it out.
It's not Google Play Services so much as most app developers won't even bother with doing the app submission process for Amazon, which to date is a PITA (clunky web interface, smaller user base, waiting for someone to review your app which may get rejected when you can just go the easy route with Google Play).
Again, nothing you use works without it being designed specifically to work that way. You can't use Visual C++ to build software that was designed for Linux without writing portable abstractions and host targets for both platforms, and it definitely won't work on two different architectures without being designed for the endianess and memory width of each. It's bespoke because it's designed for each use case. It simply will not work on anything it wasn't designed for.

And no, it isn't code publishers that spend thousands of hours resolving broken and incompatible builds, it's release maintainers. Go look at bug lists for CentOS. Look at the test trees for CPAN. It is literally mind numbing how much shit breaks, but it makes total sense when you realize it's all 3rd party software which largely is not designed with each other in mind. Somebody is cleaning it all up to make it work for you, but it sure as shit ain't the software authors.

Once you develop enough things or maintain enough things you'll see how endlessly complex and difficult it all is. But suffice to say that the system we have now is simpler than the alternative you are proposing.
For context, *Lisp (pronounced "star Lisp") was a parallel programming extension to lisp on the Connection Machine System, which was a series of supercomputers. The front-end machine for talking to the CM was either a Unix box or a Symbolics Lisp machine.

I haven't tried this in a while, but I used to create symbolic links in my Dropbox to move things around the filesystem and it worked fine.

> I learned this because I have a phone running 2.2 that if I let it upgrade to Google Play Services, and then upgrade all the other stock apps on the phone that want to use it (YouTube, Gmail), leaves me without about 10MB of space on the device left over. So I shut off the upgrades. I'm not in a hurry to upgrade because it's just not what I want to do with the money.

I've been in a similar boat. The way storage partitions were handled on 2.x era devices makes the larger sizes of apps and Google Play Services really noticeable.

Not to my knowledge but I really wish there was! I would surely be a customer.

I agree that US law could be an impediment to building such a thing.
Don't single out Ms. Rice. Have you checked who made your jeans? Or why tomatoes are cheap at the local grocery store? Or the latte you paid $8 at Starbucks?
Really good, a lot of space and Dropobox software works very well. I'm a great fan of this company (I wrote this every time here on HN).

But... I'm currently using Amazon S3 with Glacier, it's just USD 0,01 per Gigabyte/Month. Good when you just want to make backups.

I also use BitSync, that uses the torrent network to you spread your files between the configured computers. A different approach but it's also works very well.
Being able to bump a lock or not is a feature of the lock, not of the keys.
You can also use Syncthing since its development is progressing well, too.
No it's not. Something like 50% of my space is used up by shared folders I've subscribed to (work stuff)
Finally! This is boon for all the RAW format lovers.

To see how outdated their pricing was - One could buy a $179 Chromebook to get 100GB Google Drive free for 2 years. Still cheaper than what Dropbox used to be, and you got a Chromebook!
Unfortunately that photo was on a spinning-platter hard drive and I knew nothing about backups. Of course it's still on one of Columbia's servers somewhere but liberating it would involve an unbelievable amount of red tape.

Marketing Rule #1: Stay a Beginner (My PPC Story)
That's because OCSP doesn't work. The real-world Internet routinely breaks OCSP queries, which results in Firefox (and other browsers) soft-failing them: if OCSP doesn't work, the browser goes ahead with the connection. The security problem here is trivially observed.

TLS certificate revocation is a mess. We know what the solution will look like: it'll be something like HSTS, except that instead of caching "this site must use HTTPS", we'll also cache "this site must use OCSP stapling", and the OCSP data will be conveyed in-band in the HTTPS connection. It's hard to ding Chrome for not supporting something that doesn't really exist yet.

So, no: not "for performance reasons".

Incidentally: Chrome more or less invented certificate pinning.
Ok naieve non-user here, no idea what heroin use is like except what I see in the media.

But it takes some kind of nerves to inject a drug, unlike say drinking from a glass or lighting up. I have to believe heroin is the resort of fairly desperate people. Some emotional or physical compulsion must exist to overcome the natural inclination to not jab yourself with a needle. So I have to believe the risk of heroin use escalating is accelerated by that compulsion.

I'd love to see your statistics on the demographics of 'casual heroin users'. And how long they remain that way without some crisis.
Would that be against the App store rules? I know there's rules about making fake apps with similar names, but what if yours was there first?

The price change makes it obvious that he wants to make money off this opportunity.
How did you come up with that price?
Actually, I didn't even realize the scroll wheel worked, and instead was using the arrow navigation on the right. I typically only assume the scroll wheel works when I see a visual cue such as a scroll bar on the right.

And even using the arrow navigation, the experience seems broken, as it wasn't flying in the art until after I clicked down to the next section. I would see the art flying in, but it was too late, as it was moving down to the next section.
Art exists within contexts, and without understanding those contexts, you will have a hard time understanding why one piece of art is more respected/revered than another.

Here's an analogy: imagine you found an artist who had almost no background in science, and gave him a bunch of scientific papers to read. Would he be able to identify the significant or groundbreaking papers? By what criteria would he make his decisions?
There is the advertising too. My wife asked if we should buy one for our daughter. She assumed it was a cheap sturdy phone for kids because the ad was about a nine year old using one.
TACK doesn't have to be added to any RFC in order for browsers to adopt it. They could have integrated TACK, but chose not to. I wish they'd go the other way on that.
mega.co.nz seems like the closest you'll get, but their Linux sync client has been "coming soon" for a year (you can always use the Chrome/Firefox plugins though, it's just not seamless)
How I Develop in Haskell with Nix
For me, the appeal that Uber had (when it was active in Vancouver) was that most people didn't use it, and that I didn't have to pay at the point of delivery (nor tip). On a Friday night, leaving a venue at midnight with my wife and a friend, we knew from experience that waiting for a cab was going to be an hour at least, and probably more, as taxis were surging into the city with their fares and then rushing back out to get more fares. We were just out of the way enough that no cab was going to want to carry us from A to B, heading from a poorly-travelled area of town to another. On top of that, it was going to be hugely expensive, and splitting the fare is a hassle.

Instead, I summoned an Uber. It got there in fifteen minutes (and would have been sooner except for traffic), took us home, then continued on to drop off our friend. Minimal hassle, a comfortable ride, and impressed the fuck out of our friend. I was sold.

Then in Seattle earlier this year, we used Uber again. Our first trip was perfect (as we'd expected). Our second trip, the driver didn't even show up. We watched him on the app for 20 minutes; mostly not moving, and then driving around, never getting closer than ten blocks. My friend called him (another handy feature!) and he said that he'd already picked us up? Or someone up? He'd already done a fare, anyway, and apparently we weren't part of his plans. My friend got billed though, and had to contest the charge with Uber (which they quickly reversed).

Had we been excessively drunk (as I'm sure a lot of people were that weekend) we might not have even noticed. We would have flagged down a cab (which we eventually did) but forgotten about our uber ride entirely. The driver would have gotten paid, we'd have been out fifteen bucks, and no one would be the wiser.

Uber has gotten shady, for sure, but with their explosive growth it's hard to believe that the drivers aren't getting shady as well. Uber needs to be held to the regulations (which may need updating to support newer models of transportation), but they also need to start behaving like a real company and not an insecure frat boy trying to bully everyone into doing things his way. It's time for their investors to step up and start protecting their investment, and force Uber to stop exposing the company to lawsuits and horrible public image.

And it's time for people to stop using Uber until they straighten out their deal.
Interesting. I think that the confusion arises because the Microsoft paper was many people's first exposure to the term, which led people to assume that they had coined the term. Based on the Wikipedia article, it looks like it is a relatively new term, with the first usage I could find in 2011, but that it does predate the Microsoft paper.

It looks like Dan Eckert coined the term for this video: https://vimeo.com/19441262 then later used it to refer to the general technique, for which he registered http://www.hyperlapse.com/ in 2012. Other people started using it, like https://vimeo.com/50238512, and now Microsoft and Facebook are both developing applications that both use the term to automatically create hyperlapse sequences.
Isn't that actually a homophone?
I've been told by people on those teams that the legal issues behind this (or any other interference with the CA system) is a big concern.
Because of the 14th Amendment, the states are bound by the 1st Amendment's prohibitions against abridging the freedom of speech.

"Freedom of speech" is a concept that is bigger and more far reaching than the government. If someone threatens to punch you in the face for saying something that he doesn't want you to say, he has violated your freedom of speech.

If your employer fires you for something that you said outside of work and separate from your duties as an employee, that employer has also violated your freedom of speech. The notable difference being that in most circumstances, there's nothing illegal about that.

The point that I'm making here is that it's absolutely possible to suppress suppress freedom of speech without violating the law.
Portugal positive approach on drug problem was just the natural reaction to the collapse we had in late 80's and early-mid 90's. Politics claim it was a result of their policies. That is BS. In the end, government policies had very low impact. The only successful policy (on AIDS control, not on drugs) was the free syringe exchange at pharmacies.

The real problem was solved based on the lazy approach of "laissez-faire" (with consumption decriminalization) like a lot of stuff here (for the good and ill), "letting the market solve it": During the 90's the drug problem was huge! As an example, in my home town, that generation doesn't exist (people born during 70's). Almost all men (and some women) from that generation were involved on hard drugs (heroine). A large percentage of them went to prison and didn't come back, another large percentage of them died drugs related. Kids from that time (including myself) saw the dark side of being on drugs seated in first row: it was their neighbors and older brothers, not a stupid tale on TV.

Being on drugs since that moment was not cool anymore. Slowly, young people mentalities improved to "being on hard drugs is not cool". Nowadays, the sentiment is more mixed, hard drugs are not anymore seen as a boogeyman: some forgot what happened, others didn't see it with their eyes. Anyway, I don't think we will come back to 90's again. We were coming from a dictatorship, young generations wanted freedom and there were no visible bad examples of drug addiction. Times are different now, drugs are also cheaper, lesser need to be a petty criminal and involve all society like before.
Revocation in this case of pinned key means setting the max-age to 0 of the previous key and pinning a new key. This must be done before attacker is able to MITM.

I do not understand your first paragraph. If the last 5 years have demonstrated anything, it's that the US DOJ more or less controls the 3 most popular TLDs. I am not seeing the same decline in government control you do. Please be more specific?

Also: I have a really hard time seeing how baking a CA into the fabric of the Internet is a vast improvement over the current situation we have now, in which we are continually tormented by our reliance on CAs.

That's perhaps disingenuous. Artists are not known for their critical thinking skills. Scientists are defined by them.
To your last point: It is extremely hard to test your HTML/etc sites on a range of hardware unless you happen to work for someone with deep pockets and a dedication to broad support (e.g. Google).

Is there a cost effective way to do so? Other than just getting a RaspberryPi and seeing if that can render it?

You can look at TACK as a baby-step towards Convergence.
I feel this docker pain. But isn't an isolated process the point? I thought I read an article here recently that said, basically, if you're running an ssh server in your proc then you're doing it wrong.
Yes, but CSS, for instance, uses 'oblique'. You can look up the definitions yourself if you don't trust me...
But OCSP is the only thing that's widely supported as of now. You can't on one hand say "don't blame Chrome to not support something that doesn't exist", when at the same time it rejects something that's widely deployed and even is considered a requirement for CAs.

Being able to revoke your certificate, even if it has problems is better than not being able to.

OCSP is still the standard way of communicating certificate revocations and even with all the HTTP-Extensions you need a way for certificate revocation.

Unlike most alternatives OCSP is out of the box supported by IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari. Only Chrome has it disabled per default. Most people revoked their old certificates after Heartbleed. This is an example of where you need an alternative to just pinning a key.

So you are saying that an attacker has to make sure that the OCSP connection isn't working means OCSP is worse than having no possibility of certificate revocation at all?

Not saying that it's absolutely secure. Hopefully everyone knows that there are flaws in HTTPS/SSL. Zooko's triangle[1] even gives you a hint why.

Also I am curious. What better, more widely used way of Certificate Revocation do you know?

22 Online Marketing Podcasts Well Worth Listening To
I previously worked for an international company that manufactures hinges for heavy doors. I once spoke with a man who worked with locks. He said,(and I don't recall the jargon) [keys will soon have more than one set of teeth and the angle between the rows of teeth will be variable].
A common misconception. The freedom to speech is the guarantee that the government will not silence you.

In contrast being shouted down at a meeting or losing your job is common and not protected. If your employer doesn't want to support your opinions, they are free to stop paying you. That is a freedom too.
> That Uber so vehemently lobbies against sensible regulation, like an obligation for commercial insurance, speaks volumes.

I'd love to know how many Uber drivers actually have an appropriate drive-for-hire license (in jurisdictions which have one). I wouldn't be surprised if it were far, far less than 100%.

Google, MS, and Apple can also afford to abandon or kill their cloud storage services. They'll do just that if said services don't generate a billion dollars a year in revenue fast enough.

On a macbook on Chrome here, can't scroll and the screen keeps bumping up and down on its own. I think the "translate?" bar is trying to come down then the web site must have some Javascript or something that fights it.
Yeah, that's an interesting question. But it seems weird to suggest that any non-local buying psychedelic truffles in a smartshop is "stupid" because they shouldn't trust the brand. I don't really see how it has anything to do with whether you're local or a tourist.
I see something wrong with "the system" but I'd still file a patent for the monetary bonus and the prestige that you get in many circles. My individual action here isn't going to change the system either way.

I haven't read the immutability patent in detail, but it seems like the problem they are considering is not completely trivial. I've seen research papers on similar topics. Example: http://www.cs.ru.nl/E.Poll/papers/esop07.pdf

Edit: Found a recent paper by some of the patent authors that looks related:
