Security is multiple layers. A phishing attack (as you described) should only gets you 1 layer deep, it shouldn't give you access to everything. You still need to bypass the rest of the controls to get the delicious sensitive data. With a leak like this (100 TB of sensitive SSNs, Salaries, and Movies leaked), there clearly weren't very many controls, if any.

I think you're thinking too much about UX, Passwords, and phishing links when you're forgetting all the other layers that a usable security environment can provide without the needs of passwords (e.g. authorization control, segmented file servers for each department). A security engineer can definitely create a very safe and secure environment WITHOUT negatively impacting the usability, experience, or workflow of the creatives working on their designs and art.

I think a network of self-driving cars might actually help with that. All the cars can communicate where they are going and could agree to take paths that reduce traffic and get everyone to their destination faster.

New Dating App Faiit in Dev
Faiit connects people through fun mobile games. Faiit tracks specific game playing decisions and builds unique user profiles with that data. With each additional game played, profiles automatically update and get more accurate. Personality scoring algorithms will match up the two most similar and compatible people together after every game played, and if there is mutual interest to connect, chatting capabilities become available. www.faiit.com
I think it's easy for technology-minded folks to overestimate the impact of the weaknesses, and underestimate the deep complexity of the strengths.

I'm also really astounded when I'm reading the answers about self driving cars here on HN.

If you have ever worked on algorithms that are mostly based on heuristics, then you know all of these ugly edge cases, and this uncertain feeling, that you most likely don't have covered all edge cases.
A few years ago I was getting into iOS audio development and I started blogging about CoreAudio. My website started getting some traffic so thought I'd put together a really comprehensive tutorial on how to play MIDI files on iOS. I started selling it on my site for around $19.99 and started making a couple of hundred dollars per month. Then one of the founders of http://www.binpress.com reached out to me and asked if I'd consider putting my component on their site. I decided to go for it and with the added exposure it started bringing in around $400 - $500 per month. Then I decided to spend my spare time making components to save other developers time on common tasks. I developed a piano plugin and then a chat component (http://www.binpress.com/app/chat-messaging-sdk-for-ios/1644). The chat component did really well so over time I built it up - currently it brings in about $2k per month in sales and loads of consulting work. Because of the chat component, I was approached by the Founders of Firebase because they wanted to shut down an online chat service they had called Envolve. They asked if I'd be prepared to make an alternative service and take on their customer base. I took on the project and developed a new chat called Chatcat (http://chatcat.io). Currently, I'm making about $4 - 5k per month in passive revenue from Binpress and the chat. On top of that I can easily make another $5k in freelance work. I'd definitely recommend this as a low risk path to generating a really stable passive revenue.

From my experience I disagree. Simpler and well known are more welcome in the enterprise and business in general. As an example consider the protests raised about the Office 2007 ribbon. An internal application cannot afford that type of resistance.

If you had said simpler and more efficient interfaces I would have agreed. Current ERP and CRM applications try to put too much in front of the user at one time. It's better to have micro-applications that match a particular function. This looks like a good idea for that.
If I don't have webGL, it just shows a blank page. Would be useful to detect that and tell me to enable/upgrade - now it's just really confusing.

There are some cases where we want amazing drivers, for example ambulances. But for an ordinary day to day commute, people shouldn't have to be at the top of their game. I think your point boils down to variance. Human drivers have a high variance, we all can be very good or very bad somewhat randomly.

Your point about research is really interesting. I think a large majority of cars actually following the speed limit, looking before changing lanes, and using turn signals will have a positive effect on overall safety, even if they aren't anywhere near as good at dealing with extraordinary situations. It would be nice to know what % of "good drivers" is required to minimize those extraordinary situations, if any at all.

We've all seen that one car weaving in and out of traffic. Perhaps they do indeed make us safer because they force us to pay attention. But they do seem to create a whole bunch of extraordinary situations for dozens or hundreds of drivers to deal with. It only takes the one weak driver (i'm assuming weaker than self driving here) to panic and then the freeway is a parking lot for an hour. That research would be interesting.
I've seen the Google self driving car on the roads on Mountain View and Los Altos since the current storms started. Clearly they are taking advantage of the weather conditions for data.

Well, that most likely won't change. Hy's goal is to be bidirectional, so there are a few things here and there that doesn't feel as lispy as it should. Like having data returned when you use assoc as an example. The scoping is an issue aswell, like let-over-lambdas doesn't work, and iteration over maps isn't as fluid as it is in Clojure.
That's really a deal-killer, as far as I'm concerned. I thought Titanium build times were bad, sometimes taking 1-2 minutes. But 10-15? Wow. No way.
Actually the "mostly white males" comment struck me as an interesting side note. Sony is a Japanese company, so for it to be run by "mostly white males" is something that seems noteworthy in itself. Though I doubt that's what they were going for when they wrote that.
The retail prices on the new Minecraft sets (The Cave $20 / Crafting Box $50 / The Mine $110 / etc) are pretty closely in line with other branded sets. If you're looking at a marketplace price on an OOS item (e.g. crafting box at $85 right now on Amazon) it's easy to get a bad impression though.

Looking briefly at $50 list Star Wars sets, the piece counts are actually generally lower. Compare the 518 piece minecraft set to the z-95 headhunter @ 373, Umbaran MHC @ 493, & Droid Gunship @ 439.

What I would like even more is to take a discussion I've already had on Twitter - all of it - and extract and export it in a sensible format for indexing and archiving. Taking the conversation private is not the problem for me.

However, that's the problem you've addressed, so here are some questions:

* Does everyone in the conversation have to sign up for your service?

* Is there going to be an option for signing up not via Twitter?

* Can I export the conversation?

* Can I extract tweets already on Twitter into the new conversation on Subtweet?

* Will there be a more complete description available soon?

Even object-oriented programming is made better by importing functional concepts. Python's take with "classes are simply functions that return objects" is much cleaner conceptually than the "everything is an object and objects do everything" pattern.

Hy is a self-compiling macro. Macros are just programmable mini-compilers embedded in the host language. This lets you do neat things like take a declarative description of a process and compile it into an executable function:

I gave a talk at Pycon last year that discussed, among other things, the implementation of a constraint solver for games. You can implement an answer-set language on top of it in order to make it easier to use for yourself or collaborators in pure-Python... but writing AST-transforming code using Python's `ast` module is a huge pain. Just sprinkle some parens around and you can treat the Python AST as if it were just another plain-old-datastructure. It becomes magnitudes easier to write your answer-set solver's language interface.

And because Hy is freely importable from Python code you can simply use it to write that front-end compiler for your constraint solver. The rest of your code can be in Python if that works better for you.

But it doesn't stop there... you also get Hy's core library. Which provides some nice higher order functions and macros which compile down to really nice, idiomatic Python code. The kind of code you'd want to write to express that idea.

It's a nice tool to have.

I am far from an expert, but one possible scenario revolves around drug novices who are partying heavily, and a simple problem communicating. A group of tourists, well into a night of very heavy partying, could ask a random person for an ambiguous term (like 'powder') expecting to get cocaine. Perhaps that particular dealer only has heroin, which is technically a powder as well, so he/she sells it and thinks nothing of the transaction.

Moments later, some very intoxicated tourists dive into what they think is cocaine. They do a line each, don't get the cocaine feeling that perhaps one or two of them vaguely remember, but they assume that they just got badly cut drugs, so they dive in and do more.

Snorting heroin (especially if you think it is cocaine) is a surefire recipe to die because it tends to take a little longer to really kick in. And, because of its toxicity, there isn't a lot of room between getting high and dying.
So for Amazon it shows whether they are in stock by Amazon directly. Not necessarily other sellers selling through Amazon. A reason for this is a lot of sellers that are not Amazon directly jack up the prices for Lego sets. So they are considered by the system as "OOS". I'm planning on implementing a status and a price soon. But for instance take a look at the Super Star Destoryer on Amazon. Retail price by Amazon is $399 when they have it in stock. Currently the price is $799 by an outside seller listing it on Amazon.
Because the tree structure of the parenthesized expression matches the structure of the query, manipulation of this tree using editor support such as Paredit is useful.
In most scenarios you only have to solve one captcha. Those are not going to be significantly affected, since the manual work is minimal. It will provide a multiplier on traffic in the case that a captcha is needed for every single action.
Kinda. There's a huge price split depending on if you just need GPIO or if you need transceivers (serial above 1GHz). If you just need GPIO $30 is reasonable. If you need transceivers, $300 would be a bargain.

I actually agree that some sort of reconvergence of laptop and tablet designs is likely--a la Surface Pro if you like. It's sort of silly for me to carry two 11-13" computers with me when I travel. The problem is that no one has quite broken the code on that convergence although the Surface Pro probably comes closest.

>You don't get a copy of Windows with it and if you're in business, you're going to need that as nobody in business really runs OS X (and that BYOD propaganda you're hearing about is just that - no IT department wants to infect their actual network with outside devices, so you'll most likely be stuck in some kind of DMZ without any real access.)

This is utter nonsense though. I go to (way too many) professional conferences and I see way more Macs than I do Windows boxes and that's not even counting the Linux systems. This partly reflects the fact that I go to a lot of developer-centric events but even at a show like VMworld, you see at least as many Macs as Windows.

As for the lack of modularity, like it or not, it's increasingly the norm these days across most manufacturers. People like slim and light and modularity tends to work against those things.

Short description:
The writings of Newton, Leibniz, Pascal, Riemann, Bernoulli, and others in a comprehensive selection of 125 treatises dating from the Renaissance to the late 19th century — most unavailable elsewhere. Grouped in five sections: Number; Algebra; Geometry; Probability; and Calculus, Functions, and Quaternions. Includes a biographical-historical introduction for each article.
Mr. Garner screamed many times that he can't breathe (you can see it in the video). Maybe choke held is considered a safe way to control and restrain in jiu jitsu or other forms of martial arts, but Mr. Garner was not an athlete and that was not a fight, that was an arrest.

When he was screaming that he can't breath and he was already on the ground, unarmed and was being arrested for non-violent crime (selling cigarettes), they should have loosened choke held. IMHO it is just a common sense. He was on the ground and surrounded by several armed men, what he possibly could have done to harm them, if they let his throat free?

GitHub has done this, when rewriting their permissions code. They gave a talk about it at rubyconf 2014 and you can learn more about their experience and wrapped up the ruby code they used in a gem available at https://github.com/github/scientist

You might find it useful to read their source, the same techniques could probably be easily adapted for your usage.

Unfortunately I am heading off to work and don't have time to elaborate further but to very briefly answer your question, yes I have found differential testing to be hugely beneficial. I don't use it to replace unit tests but lean on it heavily when doing a rip and replace of a sub-system such as when I am rewriting a ruby service in scala.

The big difference is that with AWS, I am probably "stuck" with an instance for 1-3 years, unless I want to take my chances with the hit-or-miss reservation marketplace. This is a really bad fit for some businesses that are still vertically scaling, but don't have deep pockets. AWS can still make sense for companies on a budget because of their great portfolio of services, but EC2 is by far the most inconvenient billing-wise.

For example, we reserved an m3.large RDS instance, which at the time left us more than enough breathing room. About four months went by, and traffic grew far faster than projections. We weren't hurting, but we now wanted to bump to a m3.xlarge to feel comfortable, even after a round of optimizations and profiling. We're stuck with that 1-year reservation's sunk cost, and have no use for the old m3.large reservation if we switch to m3.xlarge.

The other fun part was buying a 3-year m1.medium reservation, only to see the new m3 series instances come out before those three years were up. These new instance types have been landing pretty frequently.

Reservations shift a lot of "risk" on to the customer and away from Amazon. GCE's pricing model is harder to estimate your bill with, but I actually like the idea of not being "stuck" if I want to be economical. Automatically give me discounts for instances that I run often, but don't lock me down.

I'm not an Adsense specialist at all, but I suggest you might give it a little time. Adsense learns how to improve the value of your ads because it understands your visitors better over time.

Of course other factors than just Adsense learning might have influenced it, too (ie more competition on ads or whatever), but still - my experience has been good.
