Since they're no longer in the same division as the Astros, it's a bit less of a penalty, but I'd say every game since the initial breach against the Astros should be forfeited. Additionally, any draft picks during that time should be awarded to the Astros. (not the actual players, but that means they owe the Astros N first round picks, etc)

Probably not going to go down like that, but it's a matter of punishment, as well as compensating the team that was the victim. (I'm from Houston, so probably biased)
If you have an associate or an associate of an associate who is a known threat to national security, and the government submits a request for your data, you are specifically being investigated. From Google's transparency reports, we know that the number of foreigners being investigated is in the low tens of thousands, and the number of Americans being investigated is at most low single digit thousands.

We know that all corporations that had their inter-datacenter networks compromised (there is no evidence their databases were accessed) have since encrypted traffic on those links, making that a non-issue. The last remaining place to collect data in bulk is between the user and the service, which is what this blog post addresses.

The data-gifting is a figment of your imagination. Nobody will go out of their way to make their own data accessible to a third party for free, and these Internet companies in particular wouldn't share it with anybody.
There's one not far from me, so I may look into it. Well, 20 min... far enough that "drove 40 minutes to pick up local produce" starts to sound dumb, though. I'm in central France.

But in context -- it's not hard to find local produce, including plenty of local, organic produce, without relying on a specially-organized meetup point. The closest large town to where I live has about 8K people; that's big enough for them to have a (smallish) dedicated organic/specialty grocery store, and street markets every weekend, year-round, with a few organic farms selling their produce there.

If I drive into Limoges, there are several large grocery stores that sell only organic produce, and highlight local produce.

These are all noticeably more expensive than shopping at a regular Super-U or Casino/Geant (big chains), but the selection and quality is quite good.

I'll check into the Ruche near here to see what it's like; but if it's the same farmers we can buy from directly at the weekend market, I'm not sure I see the point.

Edit: "276 Membres"... Huh -- that's significant. Oddly, the producers include a "Safranier", i.e., a saffron farmer. I didn't think that could even grow here.
Cool concept. Still don't think it's worth learning the lisp syntax for though.

Well it sounds like you just did a security audit of KeePass, albeit an incomplete and cursory one. But as a small open-source project, that's probably better than they have now.

Have you considered submitting this analysis to the KeePass team? Or even better, analysis plus suggested code to fix the problems? As a user of KeePass this would be in your interest.

(And as a user of KeePass myself, it is in my interest to encourage experts to help that project out.)

Well, examine the evidence for them—Mozilla, for instance, had no problem with Eich as a CTO, nor had a problem promoting him to CEO. But a sustained negative publicity campaign—from people within the organization, as well as completely unrelated companies like Ok Cupid—and they backed down.

In some cases, they might actually be more aggressive about it, since usually they care about something, and so quick to drop things that interfere with that thing. Take World Vision, for instance. They're a non-profit devoted to supporting orphans. They changed their policy to allow homosexual employees—but a campaign from their primarily evangelical Christian supporters cost them millions of dollars in donations, so they reversed the policy after two days. Did they still feel that allowing homosexual employees was correct? Almost definitely. But they cared more about their work supporting orphans, so anything that got in the way was removed.
I don't think the comparison holds. It's not like there're thousands of generations of face recognition fighting against a wrong-headed prohibition; this sort of panopticon garbage is a clear violation of societal norms. I don't think you accept that misbehavior from artificial persons is a given; even as we look for a technical solution, we should also be pressuring the legislatures to amend laws to prevent this.

Sure, if you can say that hundreds of millions of people can simultaneously be specifically investigated.

> We know that all corporations that had their inter-datacenter networks compromised have encrypted traffic on those links, making that a non-issue.

Actually, we know that they targeted the interlinks where encryption was removed and added back - giving plaintext (if you are referring to Google). If you remember after the Snowden exposures related to this hacking there was an industry wide call to encrypt data in transit - this very thing implies it was not the case before.

Is this really a problem that universities or governments could not solve on their own. Ideally an educational institution, or a syndicate of them should run academic journals on a non-profit basis, period. They are the users of this, they are best qualified to know how to actually keep a certain level of quality.

That being said academia these days is full of shit anyhow. So quality of the publications reflects the quality of the institution.
May I politely point out https://github.com/catch22/pw, which solves the first issue by using a single password database instead of a subdirectory (for the reason that you mention).

hateful ideologies is subjective. nor should it be illegal in any country that claims to have free speech. furthermore, forcing them underground really doesn't help anyone.

personally, i think its in companies best interests to promote the best arena for users to interact, they don't need the governments sticky fingers in the mess, nobody does. it can also be used as a way of taking out competitors, just keep posting things with fake accounts and keep requesting the government to ask them to remove the comments or get shut down.
I think you have great information in here! However as far as layout, I think it could be improved. Maybe try one of these free resume templates: http://free.jobscan.co/20-best-ats-resume-examples-in-2015/ I always recommend them because they are "ATS (Applicant Tracking System) Friendly" or compatible which means they are easily read by the screening systems 90% of companies use to weed out applicants!
I have nothing against Emacs either, and I didn't say that there was anything wrong with its navigation. What I said was the assertion that Emacs and Vim have the best realtime analysis is just wrong - most Emacs modes have none at all.

If you're interested in the implementation of this sort of functionality in Emacs, Steve Yegge's article on implementing JS2 mode is really interesting: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.co.nz/2008/03/js2-mode-new-javas.... He says at the end that IntelliJ's JavaScript support is just better, and it's very clear from the article how difficult it is to retrofit this sort of functionality into something that isn't built from the start to support it.

But you're right that the tone of my comment wasn't great, and in general getting involved in these discussions is just a bad idea. Every so often I see a comment that makes it difficult to resist, but I always regret it.
> Amazing that so much attention is given to the NSA here..

Well, the topic of default encryption is related to a mass global surveillance network supported by data collection capabilities built into the internet backbone - and HN is concerned about what these technical capabilities could mean for a runaway government or in the hands of adversarial entities/governments/groups. It's an incredibly important topic, so I'm glad there's some chat about it.

Doesn't Google have a redirect mechanism that allows referrer information to pass through when a 'blue link' is clicked?

This is neat. You might want to check out KONG (https://github.com/Mashape/kong) instead of putting a plain nginx in front of the containers/microservices. It is built on top of nginx too, but it provides all the extra functionality like rate-limiting and authentication via plugins.
The researchers themselves should take more action, plainly refuse to cooperate with publishing companies and establish an independent publication system on universities' or grant agencies' websites. Sadly, most researchers, with exceptions, seem to not care that they contribute perpetuating this absurd money redirection scheme that hurts the society and its benefit from public-funded research. This is probably also because similarly to the publishers, they are benefiting from the scheme as well - a publication with the right journal is "the way" to make researchers' career, get higher social status and earn more money. The most successful then end up in the editorial boards of those journals :(
I had the same problem finding an internship. Then I found out that it was likely because I wasn't altering my resume "keywords" enough when I was applying to different positions. Resumes submitted online are usually scanned by applicant tracking systems software in order to weed out applicants.

is it good thinking to add Lorem Ipsum dummy copy to a politico's website? how about http://www.lorem-ipsum.info -- that site generates Chinese random copy (or Japanese, Hindi, Arab), might add some flair and class to the nonsense
these are the languages most people will speak in 100 years based on my predictions:
English,
Mandarin,
A spanish portuegues hybrid language,
Whatever they mainly speak in india,
Arabic, and
Japanese

Most countries will pick up english or chinese for their official language. Most european countries will lose their native language due to the influx of immigrants polluting their culture.
Well, I guess that's probably the best you're gonna do as a large corporation buying up those TLDs to protect your brand.

Now we wait another five years for the ability to share deploy keys across repositories. If you have more than one project in your CI deployable app (for example a couple of internal python libraries), you can't use the same deploy keys. Their suggestion, "don't use modules, package everything in one application or use a full key". Now deploy keys can be R/O (fantastic), this limitation is double annoying.

I hope this will make it much easier to run your own (or your distro's own) kernel on Linode

While possible currently (and I do), it requires some pv-grub configuration, and IIRC recent distro kernels don't work with Linode's pv-grub version, and so quite complex a pv-grub chaining is needed.

WRT security, I'm much more concerned with getting prompt kernel upgrades from my distro or rolled by hand, when there are network exploitable bugs, than with hypervisor bugs that might allow the small group who share the physical hardware to do something naughty.

I have one of the affected drives mentioned in the article in my development laptop - the Samsung SSD 850 PRO 512GB.

As one of the most expensive SSD drives available on the market, it was disconcerting to find dmesg -T showing trim errors, when the drive was mounted with the discard option. Research on mailing lists, indicated that the driver devs, believe it's a Samsung firmware issue.

Disabling trim in fstab, stopped the error messages. However it's difficult to get good information about whether drive performance or longevity may be impacted without the trim support.

That's the perfect movie for demonstrating the potential of multi-channel audio.

It's just a matter of semantics. It's a "device" that strips all ads at no effort, by default everywhere, forever. It's definitively not equivalent to cutting out the ads yourself since that requires significant effort. If you don't like the phrase that "someone is redistributing the content without ads", just replace it with "someone is distributing a device that strips all ads as soon as you see the newspaper". Semantically different, effectively the same.

Not quite true, which is exactly the point -- T. Rowe Price, Fidelity, Tiger Global, BlackRock, Coatue, Valiant and Wellington are a few of the public asset managers that are heavily outgunning traditional VCs and pumping up valuations throughout the growth-stage investment space. Between them they have an enormous amount of capital to bring to bear.

These funds have a mix of institutional LPs like university endowments and normal high-net worth/retail investors, but either way, I believe they usually don't mandate the ~5 yr lockup period (not sure of the avg. VC investment period/fund life these days) that PE and VC firms require of their investors. As such, in my understanding, traditional VCs are both structurally and philosophically inclined to hold their investments for longer.

This may not be the impetus behind YC Growth at all, but I do think such a fund would be more patient with its portfolio, allowing it to take greater risks, and that's (probably) a good thing.

There is an unfortunate tendency to dismiss everything that doesn't 100% conform to the constitutional framework of where one is living.

That's especially pronounced in the US, because the US constitution is very rarely amended and almost religiously venerated. The Founding Fathers are often seen as demi-gods who could never have gone wrong.

I wish people would separate "that's the best to handle it" from "that's the only way to handle it, and everyone who disagrees is a human rights abusing asshole".

If anyone is interested I could tell a nice story where our Federal Constitution Court got it right and ruled in the former style ("we could never accept it under our constitution, but it's not as if it were a total injustice").
