I stopped using port knocking simply because it made remote access a hassle.

Scanning logs for intrusions and banning offending IP's deals approximately the same locus of issues that port knocking does.

Now if you absolutely must have deathly silence in your SSH logs, then only port knocking will do.
Sounds awesome, how would you recommend someone get started with PS? I'm CLI-only dev, use Node, code tons of front-end but all I use to do is CMDer, VIM, and SSH all running together.
This is my setup, except I also run psad.
From personal experience I would trust neither to be infallible. I remember the IBM Deathstar drives, my Maxtor drives repeatedly dying along with their RMA replacements & the issues Seagate seems to have with 1.5TB & 3TB drives. When was the last time you had an SSD die from a dead motor or crashed heads?

Do you have intimate knowledge of the firmware writing process for hard drive manufacturing? Do you think knobs aren't twisted and codebases aren't rewritten to take into account the changes required for the latest in magnetic storage? Geometry calculations for perpendicular and shingled media is less complicated than a flash translation layer? Also just because something is old and hasn't broken yet, doesn't mean it's well written, bug free or will work in the future. This isn't to say that hard drives are reliable, as they're notoriously the least reliable thing in your computer.
1. List (very real) benefits of going to college.
2. Repeatedly refuse to engage in any sort of analysis of whether those benefits were justified by their cost by using phrases like "I can't even put a price on those experiences."
3. Claim that college is worth every penny.

"College is just a means to a higher salary" is a strawman. The real question is whether the other things it brings are worth tying yourself down in heavy debt for most of your working life.

Also, if a big reason to go to college is motivation you can't find anywhere else, how completely f*ed will you be when you enter the real world heavily in debt and unable to learn new things without paying an institution thousands of dollars per month to motivate you?

> Sure, seeing all of the denied traffic in the logs is annoying, but there's not much you can do about that (other than not log it).

Yes: you can significantly reduce it by dynamically banning IP addresses which originate it.
“I’m speaking to you from Silicon Valley, where some of the most prominent and successful companies have built their businesses by lulling their customers into complacency about their personal information,”

“They’re gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetize it. We think that’s wrong. And it’s not the kind of company that Apple wants to be.”

This is a great strategy to win the hearts and minds of privacy advocates like me and take shots at companies like Google at the same time.
I'm pleased when I'm asked for sample source.

My gripe is that the request is specifically for "GitHub". I have come to believe that most of those who request my GitHub, do not understand the difference between a GitHub and a hubcap.
Hi there,
Thanks for your interest :)
Container management is handled the same way it is in Docker (Hyper directly uses the Docker hub, and you can directly `hyper pull` Docker images).
About scalability, it is, again, very similar to Docker's scalability. Hyper isn't compatible with some Docker components such as Compose or Swarm yet, but it is on the roadmap.
You can try Hyper following the installation procedure: https://docs.hyper.sh/get_started/install.html
Author doesn't get into it, but the quote at the top from a HN comment briefly touches on why I went back to college.

I just graduated at 41 years old. There's not a clean, easy single reason why. But it involves some bits of pride and shame. I'm the oldest of all the grandkids in the extended family and had been the only one who hadn't earned a degree. Lost one of my grandmas a few years ago and I wanted to make sure my other one could see me get there. Also I wanted to do it just to prove to myself I could finish something I started over 20 years ago.

Money ain't everything.
> I remember reading studies done recently that found out that students are more stressed out than people locked up in prison.

I'm curious which prisons were used in the study. High security? White collar? Food and shelter are provided for inmates. Students, on the other hand, have to make tuition payments, rent payments, figure out where every meal is coming from, work in groups for grades, deal with exams, ever changing project requirements, etc.

I don't know, but if you read the comment I replied to he says:

Now I am responsible for the livelihood of dozens directly, thousands indirectly, and while I may have made myself a very comfortable gilded cage, it is a cage, and the cost of my wealth has been my freedom.

Doesn't sound like continuing is what he wants.
Downvote if you want, but billions of people get value every day out of Facebook, Google, and Amazon knowing them. Saying scary words about advertising isn't going to keep people from abandoning Apple's premium priced lower quality photo service.

Sorry for the slow response. I didn't notice your question. I hope you see it!

I currently live in Japan. I started my career in Canada and have worked in the UK as well. Different countries have different challenges. For example, it's easy for me to do what I do in Japan since I have given up the "salary man" track a long time ago. I think it would be quite difficult, socially, to make that kind of transition in Japan, though -- especially if you are married. Also in Canada, no matter what kind of low paying programmer job I got, I was never going to starve. There was never any real risk in trying to optimise my happiness even if I ended up pissing off my boss and getting fired. Of course, as it turned out my efforts to be happy only increased my success at work so everything was fine in the end. As they say, your mileage may vary.
We've been fighting this fight for 20 years. The lack of progress is unacceptable. The NSA and the government in general have only gotten more and more out of control, more and more aggressive in violating rights.

That the result of Snowden is this pathetic attempt would convince me that government was useless in this current form and that it has totally failed- if I weren't already convinced of that seeing the past 20 years of legislation. (I've been watching more than 20 years, but the gloves really began to come off during the Clinton administration when he banned gay marriage for no good reason (he could have simply pocket vetoed the bill.) )

My how our standards are low, and that makes this country increasingly a joke- a parody of itself, commonly summed up with the phrase "MERICA". It's not funny, it's tragedy.
I hate it when sign up forms are very US-centric. Not allowing me to input 4 digit ZIP codes, entering birth date in US format, and more.

It's 2015. Everyone should be designing websites with other countries in mind.
I use iptables to ratelimit ssh connections to 4 per 300 seconds per ip. I feel like that plus using a key provides a reasonable level of security while not being a pita.

Open question -- is there any reason this is a bad idea?
Software is eating everything, including hardware. If Apple is not capable of doing good software it's doomed. It appears to me that Apple is giving up on software. By software I mean the code that recognize things in my photos in Google Photos or the software that sort the items in my Facebook News Feed. Apple is incapable of doing software like that. At least today.

So what they're doing is bashing those who actually can do things with their data.

I like to believe there is a company that cares about my privacy but we all know if Apple can make a good business from my data it will(iAd). They simply can't!

It's also, more cynically, trying to cast Apple's business model as a moral issue.

I mean, to be fair, Google does this too -- their emphasis on openness with Android, or "the next billion" with the low-cost, low-margin devices they enable are casting their business model as more moral than Apple's -- but advocating for the moral superiority of spending high-end money, as Cook is here, always strikes me as kind of gross.

(Also, when he implies that Google sells your data, he's just wrong. Google uses the heck out of it, but they don't sell it -- why would they? It's their competitive advantage, they don't want other people having direct access to it.)
I would argue that the reason antibiotics is inexpensive is not because of supply and demand. It's because of competition in the market. If a single entity owned the intellectual property for all antibiotics, my hunch is they would be quite a bit more expensive.
Covestor was / is a FA replacement; they take 12 months to onboard an Lead leader and charge management fees (make money regardless; +2% of AUM)
Additionally, Covestor has a completely different customer who wants a passively managed account The Covestor account typically has $50,000 - $100,000 minimums.

Instavest is transactional and you get to invest in curated investments. No management fees, no upfront fees, and tips are optional. People want to retain control of their assets. If they didn't they would just rather give it to a FA at Morgan Stanley.

This, combined with a few reports from a couple months ago, sounds like Apple might be ramping up a search engine competitor that could be more privacy-focused.

I have relatively high levels of trust for Apple, Mozilla, and Microsoft. I think that their business models stress relative privacy and they would be foolish to give up that competitive advantage.

I am a huge fan of Google services, but I use them carefully: I use fastmail for primary email, not gmail; I use Chrome for all interactions with Google properties; I use Firefox for all normal web browsing with tight restrictions, including deleting all cookies each time I quit Firefox.

One area where Apple is a little weak is in web services, but they are improving. If they combined the best features of Office 365, Dropbox, and quality search without hoovering up user information then they would be very compelling to me.

If GitHub did not publish public keys, then I could then reasonably expect that I was safe for the life of that key.

I don't think so, because of the way GitHub's SSH access works - you don't need to know the account associated with a given key to try and authenticate with that key, so trying all 32k "Debian keys" of each size and seeing which ones let you in is quite feasible.
Something i've been using more lately is Ctrl-R + Register. Great for inserting text in command mode. For instance, you can do this to insert your recorded macro (if it's in register q) as a norm command:

People get value from the core service of Facebook, Google and Amazon not their machine learning driven advertising/recommendation engines. And I would argue that given that since those engines are used to drive company profit first and user experience second they are of limited value to the user.

And if you are talking about Google Now style functionality well I haven't seen that changing the world same with Siri, Cortona etc. But Apple did aquire Spotsetter and Cue so Apple will be coming out with an equivalent soon enough.
netty is not a twitter project. At various times the major committers have been employed by JBoss/RedHat, Apple, etc. etc.
Correct. As cynical as it sounds, you cannot and should not trust what a corporation tells you. Even if what they've said is sprinkled with half-truths.

They're not out to save you or protect you, they're out to make money off you. They'll position themselves however they can to gain the trust of your dollar.
One of the problems with spreadsheets is that they don't have a concept of table. Tables are emulated in spreadsheets using blocks of cells. Spreadsheets make no difference between a column header and a column value.

Tim's argument is simply that free is not free: google's business model requires them to monetize your pictures, through advertising etc. Apple's business model is to charge you for it.
I know people from Apple data-related teams and talk to them a lot. Trust me, they simply don't have what it takes to build good data-heavy software.
I don't know that there's anything special about Russell's paradox in particular, to be honest. It has obvious historical importance, obviously, but I doubt that's what you're looking for.

I wonder if stagnating CPU requirements might make AMD competitive again.

I have a 4 year old i5 laptop that can handle 100% of general office/home use. Battery life and gaming are the only two weak points. AMD aren't going to compete with Intel on battery life but with overall cpu/gpu power consumption falling it's not as big of a problem as it used to be.

Wish they weren't stuck on 28nm still. It seems like Intel will be pushing 10 before they get down to 20/22... Maybe I'm just nostalgic of my overclocked Athlon 64 but I'd love to see AMD make a comeback and the nm gap between AMD and Intel just seems like kneecapping the underdog.

Realistically they are going to be launching this against Skylake and I can't help but think all the advantages they are promoting are going to get nullified by that. (HEVC and gaming performance)
What are you talking about ? Apple is far more invested in software than ever before and have acquired a lot of software companies over the last couple of years for which we not seen the output of:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisition...

And Apple does have software that does the recommendations for iTunes Store, Apple Store and App Store but I am guessing the billions of money to be made by optimising those wouldn't be worth investing the time in.
So why they have an ad network? Why they collect your searches in iOS and OSX? They don't mind doing what Google does on top of premium prices but they can't.

They don't have to care, but as long as our interests are aligned, isn't this a healthy tension between them and Google, regardless of "intent"?
Every grade school class I've heard of has taught that Lincoln was elected on a platform of preserving the union, that the South seceded over slavery, that the north -- including slave states -- fought to preserve the union, and that ending slavery was an effect of, not the motive for, the war.
Feld has a lot of great insights into venture finance, but this post isn't as characteristically on point. Notes don't convert on a pre-money or post-money basis. They just convert at whatever price the cash investors get (subject to any discount) or at a price equal to [$ Cap Amount]/[# of Fully diluted shares prior to the financing].

So this really has nothing to do with the notes and everything to do with the cash investor's failure to specify in the termsheet. Unless it's expressly pointed out that what ever pre-money valuation is being offered must include any note conversions, then it seems relatively straightforward that the pre-money would include fully-diluted shares (typically the founders' stock and any option grants). This has nothing to do with the terms of the note--it is simply a matter of what the investor is "valuing" when he gives a pre-money valuation. Don't blame the terms of the notes for a problem that is created by the cash investor's miscommunication.
I agree with what you said here but I think that when Google, in the pursuit of their primary revenue stream, sells an ad targeted at you, they can only do that because of what they know about you and your search history. That is very close to the same thing as selling your data is it not?
Self-promotion is suspect in this highly competitive, and not infrequently nasty field. It was known that there was some transport mechanism--now there are details. But I would caution some skepticism, especially when the discoverer trumpets the extraordinary significance of the discovery.
How about...open everything in Atom instead, so you can use what you're used to (or vim / emacs / ST / whatever), and have that be able to e.g. Set break points and inspect stacks? Separate the IDE from the browser so they can each evolve faster. Give and API to interact with the browser so anything can integrate with it.
Personally I do get value from Facebook ads, I very often see ads for vendors and events that I am interested in and did not know of before.

Regardless, what is the value of Facebook being free? Would most people rather pay with their money or with their data? Can you make a definitive argument that giving my data to Google or Facebook costs me anything?
I know people from Apple data-related teams and have no idea what you're talking about. Might depend on the team...
That is true of ordinary HDDs too. Until data is written to the flash or platter itself, it hasn't been actually written.

People don't expect files they haven't saved to be written and magically come back later if the power goes out, but they do expect that their drives will power back up with all the data that was last written intact.
Genuinely curious as to why one would use cmd.exe instead of PowerShell?
I know people from those teams as well. Pretty sure Siri, iTunes Match, iTunes Store, App Store, iMessages, iCloud etc use just a little bit of data so clearly they aren't idiots.

And with the acquisition of the guys from FoundationDB pretty sure they will have at least some skill in high end database engineering.
How do you define "sell"? Adsense and Adwords - can very well be argued as selling the distilled gist mined from troves of data collected from your search history, email, photos, android app usage.
thanks for the link :D looks great, as I am currently STILL using UnxUtils plus other stuff
No, because the relationship is between Google and you. The advertiser doesn't know the criteria that leads Google to show the ad to you, they just pay Google to know what they are doing and deliver relevant leads.

Also, Apple has had face recognition in Aperture, and probably iPhoto, for many years. Probably around the time that Facebook got it.

I know exactly the criteria google uses to show the ad to someone, because that's what I buy when I buy keywords.

That google found those keywords in some poor souls email, and I don't have access to the email, doesn't make it any less the case that google is selling that poor souls info to me.
