I bicycle 150 miles a week mostly on steep mountain roads. I seldom faint, but hopping out of bed to go take care of chores in the morning usually results in brief loss of balance and eyesight as my head loses blood pressure for a few seconds.

Sometimes I have to sit down in the bedroom door frame so that I don't faint and collapse. Once I'm up though, my body is full of vigor.
The exercise and the passing out won't kill her, but you can die (or worse) when your head hits the ground.

Ask HN: Open-source user management API that uses AWS?
I am looking to set up a user management system that would allow users to login/edit/ect from websites and apps.

Although I have found a few different options, I can not seem to find any service built on top of Amazon Web Services. My application runs on AWS so it would be nice to have the user registration be in the same place.

Does anyone know of such a service?

If not, is there a reason it does not exist?

I wonder if the wordlist is even registered with the copyright office (I can't imagine it is, they are pretty good about not accepting stuff like this).

Additionally, to the degree that hasbro/whoever the heck claims a copyright on the work of other people, they are themselves violating various parts of the DMCA dealing with rights management info, etc.

Hasbro/whoever should know that it is not possible to effect a transfer of copyright without an explicit signed agreement. Thus, if all these people contributed, and then they slapped a copyright on it, they own exactly nothing.

(There is such a thing as a compilation copyright, but it it is a very minimalistic copyright, and assumes they actually did anything creative or original to the compiled list)

If someone was to press this point against the scrabble players, they would
A. likely lose as the list will be considered non-copyrightable subject matter
B. If the list was somehow found copyrightable, and this story is accurate, they would be opening themselves up to copyright infringement lawsuits from the scrabble players who contributed to the wordlist.

So they kinda lose either way.
Probably not much?

I mean, I guess it would depend on the specifics of the life in question, but it does not seem to inherently contradict anything, from any thing that immediately comes to mind.p

A lot of certified safe systems are written in C++. I mean the ones that control the machine that could kill you. Response time is often a critical factor in safe systems. Also languages aren't as important as we would like then to be. Proof isn't used much for example because proofs are too difficult to review. Other techniques are more important like review, redundancy and testing. Safe systems tend to be more about boring old software engineering than computer science.

Could you actually design this feature in a way that didn't share all the raw WIFI passwords with Microsoft? I think it would be pretty difficult.

> You can't copyright a random number

Why not?
Based on what I read on one of their FAQs, it is not as good as a secure enclave, but it is quite a bit better than simply not providing a show password option.

The password is not stored on the devices of the people you share with. It's stored on Microsoft servers. When the device someone you have shared with notices that a network you've shared is available, it gets the key to connect, then presumably forgets it.

I wonder if it is possible to do better? The idea would be that when setting up the connection (so, setting up session keys and authenticating) the device could pass these packet through to Microsoft's server. Microsoft's server could then calculate the response packets and give them to the device to relay to the access point. When the connection set up is all done, Microsoft's server could pass the session key to the device, and subsequent packets would be handled entirely on the device.

There are two (at least) things that could torpedo this kind of approach. (1) the protocols might work in such a way that you cannot hand off the setup/authentication, or they might require frequent enough re-keying that spotty cell access could prevent keeping wifi working, and (2) the connection setup and authentication might be handled in firmware that does not provide a low enough level interface to do the fiddling needed.

Assuming this is true "we have now seen our agents and assets being targeted”, there is another explanation why now - other than foreign agencies getting the documents Snowden took.

The explanation is called protecting intelligence sources: Russia, China - or whoever had their spies inside NSA long before, can now act on the intelligence they got without triggering counterintelligence alarms.
Web development. I did online marketing (mainly seo) before founding a cleaning as a service startup.

Spying is a wash - what you're saying is true, but it's only half the equation. Sometimes that second guessing is what keeps the conflict from becoming hot. Spying can compromise a country's defense to the extent another country feels comfortable attacking. Also, if a weaker country can maintain the facade of strength it's less likely to be attacked.

The most obvious example is when one country manages to uncover another country's nuclear assets to such a high degree of confidence it feels (rightly or wrongly) it can make a 100% successful first strike.
I once challenged Glenn Greenwald as to how he could be confident his copy of the documents hadn't been hacked. His answer wasn't terribly convincing.

That said, it's also possible he got lucky. He lives in a fairly isolated farmhouse with a lot of dogs, so maybe it really is hard to do a black bag operation on him. And I'm not sure how even a nation state could do a purely internet-based attack on an air-gapped computer.

That said, Laura Poitras in bustling Berlin or an entire major newspaper might be an easier target ...

Quantum Python: Animating the Schrodinger Equation
My 2 cents, considering Brazil, one of the biggest markets on the planet:

An iPhone here costs A LOT, and I mean A LOT of money. The iPhone 6 costs US$ 1129 and the iPhone 6 Plus costs US$ 1258.

Our minimum wage, in comparison, is US$ 254/Month. The average montly income on the country last year was around US$ 376.

Just those figures already show how is nearly impossible for most of us to have iPhones. Add to that our crime rate, and most of us that can afford one, won't dare to do it in risk of losing it.

It's sad that we see a lot of nice apps, some good ideas and we can't even test it. I believe it's the same for several countries around the world.

That said, if you really want your app to reach a global audience, support for Android is a no brainer. I find the "Android users buy less" excuse not really acceptable, because the marrket is much bigger.

And I don't see that scenario changing in Apple's direction, because Windows Phone is growing a lot on developing countries, and it's the second operating system is almost every south american country. In Colombia, Windows Phone already have 25% of the market share. In Brazil, 6%, while iOS have 4,7%.

First of all, I am serious, because I don't think flipping the tech interview justice warrior switch is a useful way to respond to questions by people asking about getting a job.

Second, not everybody needs to practice for some stupid IQ test. Only the would-be false negatives (bad time-sensitive test takers) benefit from practice. IQ tests are a very good way of evaluating applicants. The Wonderlic test might not be the best choice, since it's calibrated towards people of average intelligence and towards more menial facets of cognitive ability, but maybe the company applies the test across all its hiring positions. Maybe ten minutes of its interview process are suboptimal. Of all the reasons not to work at a company, that's a really bad one.

Also, programmers aren't such special people that they have the right to feel insulted for being presented with a ten-minute intelligence test that has the gall to be calibrated towards the average population.

In short, you're trying to argue that there aren't many actual poor people...

I never claimed this. I merely said the specific statistic used to argue this is a poor one.

Again, let me tweak my counterexample to precisely debunk your claim, since you seem to believe $3650 is a magic number while $100k (what I used) is not: [-3650, -3650, 3650, 3650, 3651]. This is a population with median wealth of $3650. The net wealth of the bottom 4/5 is $0 < $1 < $150.

Thus, you have not debunked my claim. Median(x) > $150 does not imply cumsum(x) > $150.

Yeah but, you're basically agreeing to assume risk. You still get a choice - you choose to ignore the TOS and click through.

Time and again courts have upheld click-through TOS and EULAs. Ignorance is rarely an excuse. So if something clicks through a captive portal for you, the defense of "I didn't know..." isn't going to hold much water.

The only defense might be that Microsoft accepted the terms and they should accept responsibility for any violations on their behalf. But good luck getting them to voluntarily indemnify you.

I'd just love to see this work well with a proper SCIP plugin on Windows. MIT/GNU Scheme sort of works on Windows, but you can't integrate it with EMACS. Dr. Racket comes closer, but the libraries have been moved from (or to, I don't remember off hand) Planet, and trying to get them installed is painful and prone to error. It becomes really difficult to study the lectures without a good environment and Dr. Racket is the most promising because it supports graphical output. I just wish it worked properly.
