But the mobile app doesn't. Which means you are making the user go from app to email to browser and back to app. If you are lucky, the login link can open in app. If not, you need to transfer login from browser to app.
Visiting the link, it looks like another blog. The posts appear to be sporadic and at least on the front page, related to pregnancy more than parenting.

I'm a parent. My parents are parents. Parents isn't a market segment. Announcing a baby name or picking a doula where not issues for us. Decide who the site is really for beyond "anybody who visits". Figure out a value proposition.

For a blog, the only proven one is really good content.

Good luck.
The Analog Keyboard Project: Text Input for Small Devices
But Ruby is an acceptable Lisp[0], and has also a lot of libraries. ;)

So, how will Lisp compete ?

Maybe if we look at it pragmatically, the solution is not in the performance nor in the time to develop, but in the ease of maintaining the software in the long term. A field where Lisp is not particularly brilliant.

They are always marked. For me, ad blindness works almost as well as an ad blocker. Of course not for everyone, or people wouldn't pay for the ads.

On the other hand, making money from ads requires attracting users at very large scale. You can see this with Facebook and Google who try to make their product universally used, to the point where they have major initiatives to make their services available in third-world countries.

A subscription-based service deliberately leaves out people who are unwilling to pay. Even if those who do pay get better service (sometimes but not always true), there is a loss of utility from serving fewer users, particularly on the low end.
Yes. This just offloads the security burden from the Webmaker service to your email provider. It means one less password, but a compromise is still catastrophic.

If the goal is to separate the need to remember complex passwords from the application, then a password manager makes much more sense (ideally with 2FA).

In the long game of improving token-based security, this is a step sideways at best.
also, you can simplify mountains:
if the shape of 2 mountains' top surfaces are the same, then the answer to the taller mountain = answer to smaller mountain in a smaller well
So instead of directly logging in using the ID provider like FB/Google/Microsoft, which are also the email providers, you send an email to those accounts and ask user to take one extra step of checking and clicking the link. It seems to be inefficient. A much better solution should be for the devices to support accounts natively and integrate authentication directly into the platform.

Presumably that it can move around. Satellites don't carry much fuel and you can't keep repositioning them, so to get surveillance over an area you have to wait for a satellite to be above it. Presumably this thing as it is a plane, and also because it returns to Earth after a relatively short time to pick up more fuel, can reposition much more rapidly.

What is the best way to break apart an MP3 file (similar to ID3Lib) so you can see how it's encoded and edit the artist name, song name, add an image, change the encoding format, etc?

OK, but its purpose is to generate memorable passwords. The point of the article is that focusing on making passwords memorable is counter-productive, since we shouldn't generally be trying to remember passwords. And if you're not trying to remember it, a string of 16 random characters works fine.

Hey! You know the really neat thing about the Internet Of Things is that manufacturers really could start requiring all kinds of things in their TOS to use the physical item!

Why, you could have the device only work in certain regions, requiring new fees for new regions if you move!

You could enable features only if additional fees are paid! Free2CooK (broiling available for just 60 credits)!

Monthly subscription fees!

You could cross-market, requiring access to read information on your pocket computer (phone), in order to control your device!

Oh man, The Internet Of Things is gonna be so awesome!
Yeah, that's not right (your document discusses PRISM almost exclusively).

To quote from your document "when you claim something, you should be able to prove it". Can you prove "not under any program?" Of course you can't.

That's a bit mean (there's no way you can prove a negative). But it goes to show the level of sophistry and equivocation in your analysis.

I looked through the document and was thoroughly unimpressed. I don't think you're engaging with the material at the same level others are (e.g. metadata = surveillance & NSA has direct access to metadata -> NSA surveillance by modus ponens). Nor are you considering the vast body of documents, just some choice ones related to PRISM.

I would very much like to believe that somehow Pulitzer Prize winning journalists with the endorsement of The Guardian and everyone who followed merely read some diagrams wrong but after having read your document I can't convince myself of that, nor would it be consistent with other leaks, whistleblowing accounts, policy objectives, etc.

Good work though, I think it's important for people to actually look through the slides/material themselves. I think it's great you're doing that.
I did it for just shy of six years in over 60 countries. Cheap countries (Thailand, Colombia), expensive countries (Norway), countries with Wifi in every corner (Finland, Estonia), countries with barely any wifi (India, Guyana), safe places, not so safe places (Kashmir, Venezuela) ... It's amazing. Do it. You'll work it out.
I agree. I use KeePassX with both keyfile and passphrase. Keyfile is always offline and database is on Dropbox for syncing purposes. If I want to use it on Android, I manually move the keyfile and access database off the cloud. I create 25 characters long passphrase for each website. Works way better than single sign on. No one can every deny me service or close my account.
With this method I'm not seeing how an e-mail compromise is any more catastrophic than a site that offers a "forgot my password" flow.

That is to say, yes, a compromised primary e-mail _is_ catastrophic, but seems like an already accepted risk. Why is this worse?
I'd stay away from Elance/Odesk, etc, the rates you can expect there are bottom-of-the-barrel "commodity-programming" rates. Don't bother.

I'd recommend aligning yourself with a half-dozen dev shops. (They may call themselves "Full Service Marketing" firms, or "Agencies" or whatever.) Just look for some shops that are getting consistent clients. Reach out and tell them you're capable of XYZ; many will be willing to farm work out to you if you're good and reliable. They typically don't care where you're physically located....just that you can hit a deadline.

There's very little downside to them bringing you on (the more programmers in their arsenal, the larger they can scale their client base), so your chances are pretty good at landing a gig. But, as each agency is typically "Feast and Famine" (big project followed by lull) you'll want to balance out the highs and lows by aligning yourself with several shops, and always keeping multiple incoming streams. This last part is crucial, always assume that any given shop may screw you over at any moment, keep your income diversified.

I lived this way for several years, and it was a blast.

When my friends and I were children we found pieces of lead while dumpster diving. Probably 5 pounds of it. We taught ourselves how to make plaster-of-paris molds and tried to counterfeit the most important thing to us - video game tokens from the local arcade.

We made only a handful of tokens before we realized the effort was more than the payoff. We had to rebuild the mold each time and break it with a hammer to pull out the token.

We never even tried the tokens. And I think the lead fumes from melting it on a bunsen burner from my Christmas chemistry set probably didn't help us in the long run...

Making nitrogen tri-iodide in high-school had a much better payoff, even if we had to steal the solid iodine from the chemistry class supply closet. This was before the internet and so we learned this one from the anarchist's cookbook. My cat hated walking in the basement after each batch.

Did anyone else experience the purple acrid smoke at the back of your throat?
My girlfriend has Celiac's disease, and she was diagnosed about 3 months after we started dating. Before her diagnosis I often wondered if she had some sort of mental illness because she would always describe having out-of-body experiences where she subjectively witnessed herself doing things in third person.

After she was diagnosed and went gluten free, there was an acute "rebound" phase where she had very painful rashes like the article mentions. But she also had a lot more energy and no longer slept 12 hours a day. The symptoms that made me worry about mental illness completely went away within a few weeks of her going gluten free.

This is all anecdotal but it seems very plausible that gluten can cause brain lesions in those with Celiac's.
That doesn't sound like a reason to avoid experimenting. If you're tempted to experiment, jump in! Be bold!
The cynic in me observes that although this post is couched in the language of an improved UX, what it also does is absolves Mozilla from keeping any (hashed) passwords stored in their databases. Only tokens with a very short shelf-life.

(Hashed) Password storage is moved to a third-party database (the email provider). Presumably the client "remember me" links are meaningless by themselves.
Wow. What is the reasoning behind this?

In the US we have two different tests - ACT and SAT - with the latter seen as more rigorous, but many (most?) students take both.

I've been similarly frustrated with DAWs too. In the last few weeks I had a go at writing a DSL that shells out to SoX for audio manipulation. This way I don't have to manipulate audio samples myself.

It's way less polished than pydub but here it is if anyone is interested:

https://github.com/emillon/tmc

Example:

https://github.com/emillon/tmc/blob/master/Music/TMC/Example...

At first it was a pretext to play with free monads, a way of building EDSLs. But right now I'm not sure it's not just a complication. Though, having an intermediate representation before executing the SoX commands makes it possible to write an optimizer (for example, collapsing two audio shifts).
Cool idea! I like the overloaded operators.
Ableton Live's most recent version has this feature. It's called harmony to midi, and it's pretty cool (Ableton is a fantastic program in general).

I'm not aware of any open libs for this task though. I'm not really sure how you would go about this either. Something with wavelets would be my first guess? There is a wavelet lib for python [0]. You'd have to determine the correspondence between wavelet scale and midi note frequency.

This assumes audio tracks are separated. Separating mixed tracks seems like an even bigger can of worms.

"Ads or subscription-based" is a false dichotomy though. There are many other options (https://gist.github.com/ndarville/4295324) which don't require excluding those who can't pay, and don't, as the quote describes, revolve around getting people to click more ads.

A large proportion of piston-powered aircraft are relatively old — many are general aviation aircraft, and the hours put on the airframes are small compared with most commercial aircraft, so most predate the ban of leaded automotive fuel.

There's a lot of resistance to changing anything around aviation, especially when it comes to engines. Many (or most?) piston-powered aircraft are single-engined aircraft, where a single failure makes the plane a glider.

but vars controlling how long a tcp sock is held for or if they are reused is controlled my the kernel.
I like the idea. The downside is of course having to switch between the site and your email.

One could bridge that gap by adding two headers to the authentication emails - one containing the URL where the sign in request originated, and one with the sign in URL that must be visited.

A browser extension could then check your emails, and if an incoming mail matches the sign-in page of the current tab, log you in directly.
Implementing re-entrant parsers in Bison and Flex
It does try to avoid breaking needed functionality by finding and disabling something unique to the bad request:

Obviously it can only work with data it has so if your system has some rarely-exercised code paths it might break those, but at least it won't break the 99% use-cases?
The paper explicitly says this (that changes to equalise the educational environment will thereby increase heritability) which makes it odd for it to be cited in support of the thesis that the educational environment doesn't matter, because academic success is so heritable.
The idea seems to be that you only have to do this once, then you remain authenticated for every service that integrates with this authentication service. You don't have to remember another password or place trust in a new service not to mishandle it.

This seems like a solution that completely replaces the need for every website to manage their own user signups, which is something you still need to do even if you integrate with Google/Facebook/etc. because not everyone has an account with those and signing up for one is less trivial than having a sign-in link sent to your email.

The authentication providers are more than just email (the article mentions phone and SMS tbd).

I'm not sure what you're saying here:

> (Hashed) Password storage is moved to a third-party database (the email provider)

There is no hashed password? It's just a challenge response using an alternative path.
I think another possibility may be the repairing of friendly satellites and spying on enemy satellites. Flying up to an enemy satellite without interrupting it may not break any treaties. The space shuttle was originally built with the intention to repair and launch spy satellites. This vehicle went into service around the same time the shuttle was being retired. Also, there may be some sort of metric being recorded that requires physical retrieval because of lack of bandwidth. Older satellites actually dumped film for later retrieval.
We all grow up, some just wait until they're running for President.
Is there any information or speculation on what kinds of package(s) it carries?

With the payload bay the size of a pickup bed, it doesn't seem like it could carry much.
Assuming an email compromise is catastrophic, as pointed out earlier in this thread, one might as well use a password manager, which allows for maximal password strength, possibly 2FA, total control over the password database, etc.

I didn't mean to imply that this was worse, only that it doesn't really change the threat.

I'm in the "let them fake it" camp, but at the same time I think the exception throwing version could work, with a single tweak borrowed from iOS: Let the app ask for the permission once, and only once. That way repeatedly bugging the user for the permission won't work as a strategy.
The onus on protecting the users password is now on the email provider, since they aren't going to have this kind of system
LibreSSL 2.1.0 Released
Android could shift to revocable "a la carte" permissions just easily, and could ease the transition by granting sets of permissions for old apps, but substituting, for example, an empty Contacts database for the real one if the user opts out of that permission.

Google couldn't even argue that getting fake data is harmful, as long as the data is forthrightly null or unavailable. Location apps have to deal with the lack of location data. Apps that access SMS have to deal with devices that don't get SMS messages.

I hope alternative Android distributions mature to the point that some OEMs will choose to provide more-private "remixes" of Android based on these distributions and on ecosystem partners like DDG.
I explained in a comment below.
I'll also note the TeslaLED app as another good one - it requires camera permissions to control the LED, plus screen drawing and sleep control - I suspect around the minimum that would be needed for a flashlight app.

Practical Blockchain Telegraphy
Perhaps you are too distant from your experience of IBS, or your symptoms were not as severe as some, but IBS can destroy someone's life just as well as an IBD can. Someone in remission with an IBD may have better quality of life than someone with uncontrollable IBS. Severity varies by patient, and while IBDs are usually more severe, that isn't always the case. Mentioning the two together does not mean that I am indicting they are equally severe. C.diff, IBS and IBD are all ailments with the potential to be treated via fecal transplantation.

The IBS issues I've dealt with have lead to some catastrophic effects. Twice after dealing with stomach flu/food poisoning I developed gastroparesis or severe gastric motility issues. I lost 60 lbs during the first bout in 2006 and 45 lbs during a second bout in 2012. My quality of life was horrible during these periods of time. I basically lost a year of my life each time.

Luckily you found a solution for your IBS, many people have not. If simply upping my fiber solved the problem then I would be set, but fiber lead to more gas and pain for me. Probiotics on the market often leave me constipated and nauseated. Even if I stick to a regimen irregularities continue, and my body still seems to ebb and flow. So far regular strenuous exercise seems to help me, but IBS often leads to fatigue.

This all happened to me after I went swimming in a river with friends and got ill later in the evening. I may have swallowed river water contaminated with agriculture run off. Nothing has been the same since then. This is similar to many people's stories about IBS. The hope is that the pill would restore whatever was killed off due to the initial illness, which might result in regulation and relief. Yeah it's a shot in the dark and not officially meant to treat ~anything~, but at least it's something with some promise. The doctors over the years haven't had an answer for me. Treatments are also used off label all the time and trials are often very narrow in scope to meet regulatory guidelines. Somehow I think you know this already and are being a bit of a smartass.
