Not sure about it, but this page [1] does say "In general, you’ll still be able to use a verification code the way you normally do on any device that doesn't support Security Key." Assuming you'd be able to tell it that it doesn't support it, rather than it just deciding based on hardware?

You don't have to pick one or the other. According to the FAQ [0] (linked from the blog post):

OP here. VimSwitch does something similar to what your script does. It just makes it a bit more convenient. Here is a use case that I plan to use it for:

# log into production server
$ vimswitch priomsrb/vimrc
# -- work --
$ vimswitch default
$ logout

This puts vim back into it's original state for the next person who logs in.

In future versions I hope to make the above workflow even simpler:

# log in to production server
$ vimswitch --launch priomsrb/vimrc
# log out

The --launch command will launch vim with your settings without altering the home directory.

Would be good if next gen chromebooks have a bay on the bottom with a USB socket so you can leave one of these attached without it dangling off the side (and maybe permanently glued in by paranoid IT). Another trick might be NFC in the palmrests that can detect your watch . . .

For the record, the guy on the mailing list linked in the article probably has serious mental health issues.

He also does those really creepy youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2toVPMHRo8M

And I've heard he contacted other devs and I've heard a couple of stories that I'm not sure I can share publicly at this point.

Generalizing that all systemd opponents are trolls because there is one guy with serious mental health issues is not a valid argument.

Unfortunately, you're dead right --- this sucks in C and it sucks in Cython!

I don't understand why .pxd files are necessary --- they should be generateable from the .pyx files. At some point I'll have a go at this...

But, as of now, you need to maintain this separate file, which you must keep synchronised to changes in the original. And, yes --- this sucks!

The only mercy is that writing code in the headers is illegal.
If you think that and other people you know think that, you should be free to voluntarily form your own community, protect yourselves, work hard and do the things you want.

But I'm not OK with your opinions of what activities are better than others and so I don't think it's fair for you to force it on others.

I'll take talk radio and TV over kayaking any day. You'll never get people to agree with all your thoughts. That's why we need to be free to form our own communities.
This struck me too. The secrecy probably excludes remote work, so . . . they're going to have to pay massively to get the experience they apparently need down there. This is a rare case where relocating to SV may actually be a cost reduction measure.
So, it is going to get hard, is what you are saying?

I mean, it could be that the shims are nice and easy, but it seems to be the expectation that this will not be the case, right? Especially since systemd seems to be on a very aggressive expansion of responsibilities campaign.

Comparing children in some new study against the general population of mainstream children is the general approach we use and it's fraught with problems.

The studies are often small sample sizes of children who are often opted-in by their parents and the teaching is done by better than average teachers with lots of support and involvement from the institution who designed the study or otherwise stands to gain from its successful outcome.

All that is generally revealed is that children whose parents are engaged in their education being taught by good teachers and that are aware they are in a 'special' group do better than average. Unsurprisingly the methods don't scale very well.

Yubikey's first offering that is U2F compatible is that bright blue USB key, but they have previously offered a USB key that is almost flush with the port, and the conductive contact is on the edge of it. I suspect they'll be updating that product to offer U2F soon, and it should be a better fit for what you are asking.

Those aren't regulations, those are recommendations of how to deal with the straightforward law requiring employers to pay all necessary expenses incurred in the course of employment by the law firm who is using the ruling and the underlying law as a focus of efforts to drum up business.

The source article is an information page from a law firm, and the reason they do this kind of information page is as a way of generating business by both (1) creating a perceived need for legal services, and (2) portraying themselves as experts in the area where they have created the perceived need.
They're notoriously good about this. If a phone's processor lacks a component necessary to make it function, it will be difficult to compensate for that through software. I'm sure Apple would've loved to get an extra 50m folks using a payment network that they get a cut of, but they couldn't, so buy an iPhone 6 if you want to use it.
If you can't accomplish the same goals in a portable way. Of course, if you can put the knowledge to work as soon as you learn it, you're already starting to recoup your investment.

To be precise, what you're suggesting is that we have prompts which are allowed to be colored except for the $/# at the end, because you can't color those without following them by escape characters. And that prompts must have a $/# at the end.

I can't decide if this is a rebuttal, or not ;) - assuming it is, note that the number of possible paths containing newlines OR spaces is smaller than the number of possible paths containing only newlines, so an xargs that didn't handle newlines by default would still be supporting more possible paths than it does in its current state!

He's not casting all opponents of systemd as trolls; he's saying that trolls have spread a lot of misinformation about systemd, which is true.

Opponents of systemd have spread a LOT of FUD and misinformation about systemd. I know, because I was initially very skeptical of (or even opposed to) systemd based on what they had said. Fortunately, I discovered that much of it was misleading or inaccurate after my main distro switched to systemd.

Even if we give them the benefit of the doubt and say that it wasn't an intentional attempt to spread misinformation, and that they were simply speaking very vocally about a topic that they themselves had not taken the time to read up on, it is not much of a stretch to call that behavior "trolling".

I really think he is thinking FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) equals trolls. Which is wrong.

"Don't listen to the FUD" # Fixes the first sentence

I can understand that feeling when ideas and chooses are not based on the same as your own. The whole Mono is evil was the definition of FUD to me and not based on the presented facts. To me the issue was mono and C# was a language that was already was a standard and that we had public confirmation that M$ would not do anything to anyone using mono. BUT I would be hard to call people who don't believe like me that SystemD is easier as a user or that Mono was a great choice of a language. I think society is based on what do we do to those who believe differently then ourselves.

That's really about the "fundamental insecurity" of a few low-end USB chips. Obviously a device whose entire purpose is security can't be reflashed with arbitrary compromised firmware.
It also gives you a live preview when you use C-x r t to insert text, like iedit-rectangle-mode always did (iedit is still more robust, but for most simple cases I use C-x spc now instead of it).
My worry about using my phone as the second factor is that my phone is attractive to thieves. I would personally prefer to carry around a keyring with many fobs on it.
I agree that it may in fact be reasonable to pay $150 ( perhaps even $200 ) for such a thing. The real cost is much higher due to a need to solder components. This is an especial blocker for people with no soldering experience.

Really, the whole thing would make sense if it had a full cost breakdown to make a single one of them, getting the parts mostly from one location, rather than a random mix, many requiring a minimum purchase of X of them, instead of one.

It's a really cool project, it is just unclear exactly how much effort and money it would cost to make one of these. ( and what tools would be needed )
2 issues here:

1. You can't package GPL stuff into another and then sell the new product.

2. If it is required for Intel's commercial BLAS and they are giving it away for free, it would be a great loss to Intel. So whatever they are giving away must be available for free. Otherwise it makes no sense.

Edit: Open version makes use of non-commercial license MKL, which you can get anyway, see https://registrationcenter.intel.com/RegCenter/NComForm.aspx.... And most likely they are using commercial version for enterprise. But again can you compile R like that and charge for it.
Thanks for the info. I had never even heard of "hard typing."
I have one. It is pretty cool but it hasn't been real useful up until now. I haven't found many apps that support it.

I ended up just grabbing the clipboard app that yubikey puts out.

I tried using the static password feature by using it as part of my master password in 1password but the newer versions of 1password block using the clipboard in android (with good reason). It would be pretty awesome if password-managers added support for it.

I have tried CDN77, MetaCDN and CDNify in the past. All of them were good.
A few weeks ago I painted a mural with the students at the Albany Free School in upstate NY. The school was founded in the late 60s, with a setup that is similar to what is described in this article.

I found that the students interacted with me and the project in the way I'd expect confident adults to do. They had a self-possession that I have almost never experienced in children, and rarely find in adults. A curriculum primarily centered around freedom had given them the opportunity to learn to listen to and trust their own internal narrative.

After spending a number of days working with them I was convinced that all people, children and adults, need freedom of choice in their lives. Not because of the products that come out of it, but because of the people that emerge from it.

You cannot verify that the key hasn't been altered.

Meaning that theoretically someone could steal your key, alter the firmware, turn it into a virtual hub and attach virtual keyboards/USB sticks which do nasty things.

However the same can be said for any electrical device you carry. If you carry your laptop through a US border they can seize it for almost no reason, and attach things to the PCI bus directly internally (see the NSA's foreign intelligence catalogue for numerous examples).

The USB security issues are just fun ones to exploit (relatively easy, with great results). No firmware is REALLY verifiable (e.g. baseband, CPU microcode, BIOS/uEFI, et al).

Ultimately it boils down to physical security of your electronics and buying anonymously (so devices cannot be intercepted before they're delivered to you).
Honestly I too felt that current OSx redesign is pointless though I like Google material design...kind of strange taste I have.
EDIT: Looks like this is now working! Looks like there is a tiny UI bug -- make sure your account is correctly selected on the Security Token page if you have multiple accounts signed in. #userError

Ouch, looks like a serious downside is that a given key can only be used with one Google account.

Trying to add a U2F-compatible token to more than one Google account results in errors: "This Security Key is already registered. Use a key that is not registered yet and try again."
Considering enterprise BI software/platforms these days can costs upwards of 4k per month, this is roundoff error.
That's a good point. My example comes from experiences where the only available users are 'admin' or 'logs'.
That, sir, is OFFENSIVE. Not saying it's false, just that it's offensive.

I've enjoyed your rants, by the way :-)

Why? Even if you can eavesdrop on the NFC communication, how does intercepting the challenge/response help you?
PaintCode adds Smart Symbols
As an addendum to this, after looking over the spec, it appears that the FIDO-U2F protocol currently only supports USB, but that support for NFC and bluetooth is planned in later versions of the specification. Presumably a firmware update sometime down the line would be sufficient to bring the Yubikey device up to date with the NFC standard and allow it to work over NFC in addition to the currently supported USB version of U2F.
I live in the area and we have a lot of difficulty finding talent. I see they are hiring for a lot of very specialized positions and I wonder how difficult it will be to fill them in this area.
The insecurity relates the problem with allowing random usb devices to be plugged into a computer. Specifically, it points out that, even if you wipe an usb stick, you still can't trust that it's safe.

The devices that Google is referring to should be inherently safe. If you don't trust the supplier of these devices then yes, that's an issue. But, in theory, you receive these from a trusted source. As long as the device doesn't leave your possession, you're ok.

Edit: I should add that I didn't quite summarize the vulnerability correctly. If you plug a trusted USB device into an untrusted computer, you also have the potential for attack. If the USB device can be made writable, the computer can infect the USB device, propagating malware forward. I _assume_ that these security keys are made read-only before they leave factory, but vulnerabilities can be found in the darnedest of places!
systemd is 69 individual components (and binaries) last time I checked. You can opt to build some, or all when you compile it. Yes they work together, but they have an open and now-more-or-less standardized api. So nothing prevents another developer from writing against the api, be it a shim to reduce/remove systemd but provide compatible calls into another system (init, logging, etc), or a complete replacement for a specific component of systemd.

I see it only getting easier actually. Folks in the BSD projects for example have their own init system but still want software like gnome, so shims are used to provide the api abstraction. This can be applied elsewhere in the Linux world as well. Again, this is only for software where the developers have explicitly decided to hard-code in dependencies to systemd, which is not likely going to be everyone.
I am not sure about Jessie, but whenever Debian switches to Systemd as the default, I would guess even the minimal install would have it. Systemd is the init process, so you can't really just do without it (or some other init system at least). I think it will probably require somebody remixing the installer image to use a different init system.

Not sure though, I'm not super informed about what Debian is planning for the switch.

I think (no experience, but it makes sense) that Gentoo lets you pick the init system easily at install, you might want to look at that.

You might want to try it though. In my experience, the minimal config for systemd is quite lightweight and clean. I don't use KDE or Gnome, but I quite like systemd on my Arch workstation. Arch (and Fedora) have had it for quite a while now, even back when it was probably a bad idea to switch...
I tend to agree, I don't understand how this problem warrants literally thousands of lines of code, when a few lines of bash will do...
The Yubikey website specifies that the device registers as
a Keyboard, flash card, and flash reader when you plug it
in.

Looking at [1] it seems they make a range of products; some of their products implement multiple standards, as well as multiple USB devices. The "Premium NEO" emulates a keyboard to provide OATH HOTP, emulates a smart card reader to support PIV, and emulates a "FIDO U2F HID device" to support FIDO.

On the other hand, their "FIDO U2F Special SECURITY KEY", which only supports FIDO, does not emulate a keyboard or smart card reader - it only supports "FIDO U2F HID device"

So presumably FIDO relies on special browser support to talk to the physical hardware, and implements HID but doesn't emulate a keyboard.
