It says mine is in it but suggests the wrong password. I don't think I even had a password with those letters plus I've had 2FA for a while now. Wonder how legit this is.
Top 15 Sites built with AngularJs
My older account (8+ years) was leaked but my more recent one (4+ years) was not.

EDIT: This was good to find out because I did not have 2 factor auth on my older account as I hardly use it anymore.
Weird, it gives me a very old password.

Though back when I had that password my account was hacked. I'd wager this is just Gmail address+password combos collected from other leaks (read: not from Google). Really this just seems to be an attempt at sensationalizing.

Tried it with mine and it said yes but had the password wrong. It didn't match a password I've ever used...
Holographic displays.
I just tried it with my old Gmail account that I no longer use, and it displayed the first two letters of my password. The password was random letters and numbers, 16 characters, so not easily guessable. Seems legit to me :-)

Why do you think anyone cares whether phones replace watches? How is that at all relevant to the purpose of watches?
It's suggesting a password that I do use on some sites, but never have on Gmail. I think this is a scraped database from somewhere else...
My Gmail was hacked a few years ago. This database showed the first two letters of the password I had at the time.

I had (stupidly) been using the same password on other sites, so after I was hacked i made a new password just for gmail.

Now I also have two factor authentication :)

For me, it has a password I don't ever recall using with gmail. If I have, I don't think it's been in the past few years.

That said, it's my throwaway password I use on services I'm not particularly worried about. I fear that this isn't a gmail leak but instead a different service.
> Presumably they rebroadcast to neighbouring nodes;

Unless you have a directional antenna, which these don't, you can not possibly scavenge power and simultaneously hope to increase the range by rebroadcasting.

So rebroadcasting is pointless, these simply communicate with the base station.

But what do they do? I mean it's nice to communicate, but you have to have something to say.
> the Watch really is nothing as revolutionary in any way shape or form as the iPhone was.

Most old people have the power to change the system, many young people cannot. Unfortunately the old lack the young's courage (as they're risk averse) and so are less likely to go against tradition. Money need not be inflationary, and if we solve this problem we end the cycle of the young being overworked for the sake of the old, but the old had rather do it later (the next generation will take care of it, they say).
This is why I have my nephew maintain his own minecraft-server. Costs me 10 euros p/month. Kids' ten years old, knows how to debug crappy java plugins better than most java programmers. Everytime he calls me to ask about a problem I think: "Okay mverwijs, don't hold back." He now edits yaml files, rsyncs plugins, makes backups.

He's smart, but not a genious. He's doesn't even speak or understand english. Most kids can learn to do their own minecraft-management.

Kids love minecraft. They love to have their own server. I shamelessly abuse that love to install some *nixcraft on them.

Only up to 3 characters? Why 3? Especially since it's an email address and not a random string, which limits the possibilities for the 3 missing characters. This looks like it's giving more info than you'd think to a dodgy website...
> Google says you can shrink smartphone UX to a smartwatch; Apple says you shouldn't, and you should do these other things instead.

The fact that you believe what Apple says about Google rather than taking the two minutes to actually look at how Android Wear works and see that that statement is completely false shows that the distortion field is in full effect.
> This comes with very different risks, including the ability to lose your capital, which is why it's taxed in a very different way.

Exactly, there are good reasons for this. The problem is that it would be grossly unfair to tax a small business owner or small investor at say income tax levels because their risks are so much higher. On the other hand a big investor will millions or billions ends up paying the same tax rate as that small business owner or investor, but is able to spread their risk across many investments reducing the overall risk. Yes it would be unfair to tax them at a higher rate for doing fundamentally the same thing - how would we justify one tax rate for one investor in a company, but another rate for this other investor?

Taxation is a hard problem.

I just checked using a bunch of throwaway email accounts I had to sign up for various promotions. One of them was leaked - and one of them had a very old password associated with it.

I now use KeePass2 to manage all my passwords - so the old password has absolutely nothing to do with the new one. This makes me think that they simply tried to use some other hacked site, and checked to see whether the same pwd was recycled for gmail.
I don't think this is leaked from Google.
Probably people just were using the same password for some other service...
No, more correctly ObjC is compiled into assembler that uses a C/C++ runtime.

Swift uses some C/C++ under the hood, and integrates it's object model into the ObjC object model (which is C). However, swift structs are not objects, from what I can tell they are virtually identical to structs in C (from a memory layout perspective).

Some swift objects are incompatible with the ObjC object model and cannot really be used from ObjC or really any other language (it does name mangling like C++ which makes interfacing rather difficult)

Wget and grep would be more likely to be used - but in answer to your question: yes, in a case like this.

Let's do some quick back-of-the-envelope math. 5M addresses, with very few longer than 25 characters. Let's say the average is around 17 characters. 17 * 5 * 10^6 = 35 * 10 ^7 = 3.5 * 10^8 bytes, or 350MB. Text generally compresses to 1/8 space with zlib, so the amount to transfer would be about 44MB, at most. Serving the list as xz compressed file could probably cut the size down to below 40MB.

In the age of 100MB youtube videos, that doesn't sound like much to me.
Sony Smartwatch 3 has NFC (and GPS). Too bad it's rather ugly. AFAIK, it only currently uses NFC for pairing to a phone, but the hardware is there and Android Wear will hopefully soon include complete support for it, like they recently did with watch GPS support.
Now is a good time to enable two-factor authentication on your accounts. Here is how to do so for some common services:

- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=security

It could be even more dangerous than you are imagining.

If you check a username, then you would probably also be revealing the IP address range and browser referrer that is normally used to access your account.

Google uses IP address and location to help detect illegal access. So giving away this information could make it easier for your account to be stolen.
It's because the people hiring you are in their late 20s and have culture fit as the second most important attribute. I've seen it first hand where my team chose a 30 year old man child over a 40 year old. The latter actually got marks against him because he wore a suit to the interview.
Using Automobiles to Understand One's Role in Programming
Very true. Look at iOS - it never had home screen, no widgets and no home screen pages. Apple watch seems like its trying to include all these, it would have never made sense to put iOS on a watch.

Android on the other hand has had all of these and has been working on various kinds of devices for quite long ( guess fragmentation has a brighter side too ). It does make sense to put it on a watch ( obviously with some design changes ).

The passwords seem to have come from somewhere else. My email is on the list, but the password is wrong and actually matches the one I use for throwaway accounts.

I will tell you about my story. I am not at 100k but at equivalent given the quantity of free benefits I get in the country I am working in.

I am currently on a job I have taken for Visa and quick Money (mostly visa though). Six months later I had milked all the experience I could get out the tech and people I am working with.

Basically I went from a high accountability role in a startup in Europe where as a Junior coder I was entrusted with big services and decisions (technical decisions) that could undo the company if I messed it up. And now I am doing fairly PAR level corporate internal services in JP company, using "good old" stacks of technologies where the most cutting edge aspect is that we use the latest version of PostgreSQL. I am basically doing undergrad DB 101 data modelling within a team that do not care about the technical quality of its product.

Everyday I dread the boredom I feel at work. And If I didn't commute with my wife (she is the high of my days) every morning I would have probably become a statistic during the rainy season.

On a bright note: I have already found the next thing that looks really interesting, new and well compensated. I am currently shaking off that funk the projects I have been working on have put me in.

It was difficult keeping morale up, I must say that I was on the fringe of depression. I felt exhausted even though all the work my managers could put on me was done, tested and pushed to production before most people were in the office (again: used to start-up pace here), and then you guys (HN) enter my day (at 9 flipping 30 AM) ... I have never been so well informed in my whole life.
Ask HN: How do you request data from your client?
For every project that my boss sells, we need some kind of template to request the data.

In 90% of the cases, he hasn't requested any of the data.. So we are left in blank on what the client needs and have to figure it out (which can take some time).

How do you create several templates to request data (eg. for a hotel, the pricing logic according to season, ammount of chambers and numbers, do they need phone logging and pricing, do they use booking.com, ...)

Some data should be requested in tables, some are just yes or no answers. And some need free-speech text as an answer.

I once saw a github project, but can't seem to find it.

What do you use to request data like this?

However, telomeres are repetitive code, and not amenable to standard PCR and sequencing methods (as far as I know). I don't know if the amounts of DNA or chromosomes typical in forensic samples are enough for the techniques used to measure telomere length.

I bet there are some people who have other leaked account & password lists, and since the isleaked.com site is kind enough to give the first two characters of the password for any given email account, it'd probably be possible to guess the passwords for some of those accounts.
I've tried the page from my iPad and my TV set which interestingly also has the user agent as Safari. The page makes both crash.

I've always believed that Google making their pages crash iPad's Safari can have benefits, but obviously the web developers who produced the Live page used only Safari on their big computers and never tested them enough on the iPads. That alone is really unacceptable execution.

The reasons the servers got under bigger pressure was obviously the wrong decision to have the video content page and the live picture and text updating resource and script hungry page as one and the same. The browsers of the viewers crashed, they attempted to view again, producing much more load to the servers than it would be if these unfortunate decisions (everything on the one page) haven't been made.

Independently, the stream was obviously botched at the source. It seems all parts of the world got the same Chinese translated pieces and the truck signals.

There were more smaller disasters there making one big.

Before I switched to Linux, I encountered this kind of issue. The popping console is annoying, even when you know how to use a terminal : navigating through the filesystem is painful in cmd.exe an starting an instance from explorer is not always an available option.

Netcat had an interesting approach: when you start it without any command line argument (say, by double-clicking), it opens a prompt and wait for a command. Using this idea together with some help message might be the simplest solution.

I am not sure what people are asking for: Do they want reddit to start censoring more stuff? That can quickly become a slippery slope. Do they want reddit to break DMCA laws? That's not going to happen. Do they want reddit to fall on its sword and censor nothing even if it means the demonization of reddit? Probably a bad idea too.

On another note, I mostly use reddit to read /r/cpp, /r/netsec, /r/Iceland, /r/hiphopheads, /r/bourbon (and friends), /r/LosAngeles, and a collection of other interest specific subreddits. I barely noticed the recent shenanigans. When an article attempts to paint reddit as "being filled with [insert broad brush here]" I always cringe; any large site cuts across most demographics. It's filled with the same type of people who use the internet; that is, the same that are walking around in your city right now. It's filled with everyone.
Drawft.com is Fff'd.
I don't understand your getting dressed example. That seems to be cutting to the heart of what actually was done. That's the opposite of jargon.

The problem with jargon is that while it can express abstract purpose or intent (that can otherwise difficult to describe), it's basically meaningless in describing actual actions.

For example, you could say "I was doing market research today." But wtf does that really mean? It sounds smart and like you know what you're doing, but ultimately it's more meaningful to say "I was reading our competitor's website" or "I was asking people on the street if they would buy our product."

Jargon has it's place, but just because you call talking to your friends about your idea "market research" doesn't make it any more useful. I think it's easy to fall into that trap.
