I wouldn't say it is an unpopular opinion. I can imagine most have had a similar thought at one point or the other about some technology.

But what looks like constant innovation to one, is probably a long awaited feature to someone else.

Don't feel like you have to catch up. You don't have to (and probably can't) follow every single innovation. Rather try to limit what you follow. Yes, you might miss out on things, but that's happening anyway.
The Marines specialize in close air support, and for that role STOVL is incredibly useful. It's the only way to effectively deliver close air support with a jet aircraft.
With that much success, it might be hard to write anything reflective without "humblebragging."
This is very true. A drone could quite likely do maneuvers that a traditional jet couldn't do because of the limits of what the squishy human body inside can withstand.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the near future we see a drone capable of taking F-35's, F-16's, and any other human piloted plane out of the sky.

Show HN: A Better Way to Manage Meteor Applications on AWS
I'm sure as hell not married to the idea of WebRTC, but i desperately want something like it.

The ability to do peer-to-peer communication from the browser is an amazing tool. It allows the creation of client-side-only web apps which can easily send massive amounts of data to others. With WebRTC (or any other service like it) you can add video chat to a web app with very little work, and no real server side infrastructure that is more secure than the alternatives.

If it needs to be re-done in the name of getting it implemented widely that's fine with me and i welcome it, but if it's just NIH syndrome at microsoft holding it back, that's not okay.
It's hard to see how the combined problem of Greece and Puerto Rico nearly simultaneously will not be felt globally.

A bigger worry globally is that China is starting to show serious economic cracks. It's certainly going to be an interesting time ahead.

Looks like currently you must set a file descriptor (though the docs mention the possibility of using a pipe). Once an FD is set, you do control pulling/pushing data to s2n.

Can you elaborate more on "not too well-performing"?
My apologies if I'm hijacking the original poster.

Does Docker handle multi-environment configuration management? For example: qa, stage and live have the same config files, but different values.

Currently we're using Ansible and we set variables for a specific environment, then we feed those variables into config files based on where we're deploying to (config files are not duplicated, only variables that feed into config files.)

All of our configuration is in git and we can quickly see and change it.

How does Docker handle this?

Sure it does. TOTP codes are only good for X seconds

Not seconds, usually a minute:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238#page-6

(This is mandated because the user could start typing at the end of a time step and/or clocks can be slightly out of sync.)

and most phishing scammers merely collect the information to use much later

Right. It's probably still profitable to do things in this manner because most people do not use any second factor. That does not change the fact that TOTP is extremely vulnerable to phishing. Most people here could probably a code that does this live in an hour or so.

But seriously though - companies like Google, Facebook, Gandi, Dropbox, and Microsoft all use TOTP.

Yes, because TOTP adds good security against other attacks, such as password leaks, since every site has its own shared secret.

Say you're running on CentOS 6.6 (or the equivalent RHEL) and you want to run some software that won't work because you need a newer library than is installed (this recently happened to me recently trying to install Transmission).

You have two choices:

1. Upgrade to CentOS 7.x.

2. Use Docker and install the software into a container using a newer OS (CentOS 7.x or a newer Debian).

#1 is very expensive and sometimes impossible (if you need to be on CentOS 6.x for compatibility reasons).

#2 is very cheap.

There's one of your business cases right there.
I guess stuff like this:

Hash Join (cost=78,396.37..2,150,742.13 rows=24,442,180 width=40) (actual rows= loops=)
Hash Cond: (buyclicks.offer_id = offers.id)

if you can filter down number of rows in these cases or maybe only return columns present in the index and/or add an index where required you will speed up. Watch out it doesn't affect insert/update too much though if you add an index. You have created fk indexes right?
It also has better performance with retina, scrolling, less jank, and other user-experience/satisfaction related qualities.

Nitpicking? I had no idea what this submission was even about. I thought maybe Google, the company, was hacked by outsiders. That was my best guess. Or even "Google hacked" could imply "Hacked by Google", I don't even know.

The current title is ambiguous at best; just plain misleading/sensational at worse - especially now reading that this is really about just one person losing access to their Gmail.

> OTOH, the intercepting missiles cost orders of magnitude more than the offensive rockets, so it might be possible to drain the ammunition supply.

This is the key, I think. As long as you can pound your enemy with cheap hardware forcing him to use up his more expensive one, you're actually successful in your attack - you're bleeding out their economy.
If you can steal the plans for an F-35, you won't need to spend as much money to develop your own. You can just build one and test it to see how it compares to anything your own engineers came up with along with the American-made F-35 test results you stole too. Then you can spend that money on trying to fix anything that might be wrong with the American design.

Sure, with enough time and money, your guys might have been able to come up with a better design but if you can steal at least something to build off of, why not? It's cheaper to pay some kid hackers to steal it than design it.

The first one does, though, and many European countries are above 20% there. I think that given that data, it's not unreasonable to accept that 20% of Europeans overall who use the internet use a vpn, especially when that is explicitly claimed elsewhere (in OP).

As for your plugin claim, if they don't know what's going on, they wouldn't answer yes to the question about VPNs.

The Evolution of Password Security
This actually happened to me a few years back and, eventually, they were very helpful.

The key for me was providing sufficient proof that the account really was mine and really had been hacked. I gave them as much information as I could remember/check:

* some contact names

* some tag names

* some recent thread subjects/recipients

* name of the person who first invited me to GMail back in the day

* details of any labs settings, theme etc

* mailing list subscriptions

I wish I could remember the email address I used to get in touch with them but, as I said, this was years ago now. I definitely found it somewhere publicly available, albeit buried somewhat.

Europeans normally don't use a VPN to watch blocked YouTube videos. They use a browser plug in that uses a proxy for the blocked videos (and only the blocked ones).
Hulu (or netflix to be precise) is one of the reasons I use a VPN but again not many people do that. I can only observe that people who frequently have contact with Americans are more likely to want to watch their shows in English and thus use a VPN. Most people I know just stream series that don't pay the they want to watch, which is not illegal in Germany and Austria[1].

[1] although cooperations try to sue people for streaming from sites that don't pay the IP owner, they don't have a lot of success since the video is not saved to disk nor is it redistributed. Only distribution of illegal in Germany and Austria
I think you're right. I edited my post for clarity.
if you are at all interested I can recommend Andre Agassi's biography [1] it definitely goes quite a bit into their rivalry as it was a big part of his career, as somebody who grew up watching them play it was a really enjoyable read.

I am not sure how much this is nostalgia but I think the era back then was probably the golden age of tennis due to the changes in equipment that were happening, it felt like each match was a lot more unique than they are now.

In terms of pure ability I still think that Federer at his peak was the greatest tennis player ever, but overall I think that era was the most fun to watch.

The security benefits of using Gmail
Mostly its an unprofessional wad of code written by some PhD's. It went through some hands and ended up at Google, who mercifully refactored it somewhat and renamed it.

I've been dealing with the code base for 5 years, and never liked it. Had to rewrite the APIs every time we got a new source version, to fit our model which isn't the 'conference call' model. I'd be glad to see something more app-agnostic that just dealt with negotiating P2P streams, without so many assumptions about what/why/when the streams are.
I've sort of turned around in my opinion o Greece.

I started out by seeing this as the Greek Government being cynical, corrupt or incompetent and running public finances into a wall. I still think that's true. That happened and the greek government including the electorate are to blame.

But that is not the main story here. The main story here is what happens when a government does go bust. Sovereign debt doesn't come with these kinds of strings attached. If your debtor can't repay, you don't get to run the country. I think there are two bigs aspects to this whole greek story.

First, is that taking away national currency is taking away the ability to print and devalue your way out of trouble, which really increases the risk of government insolvency.

Second (this is where I've kind of turned around), I do think Germany and the EU are in the wrong. First, is the very german/west european idea that instead of a contingency plan, you need to make sure nothing goes wrong. Regulations and controls. This may work for germany, but it will not work everywhere. Other EU governments will go bust in the future. It's inevitable.

Third, banks run the world. Governments were already very cosy with banks. All the big markets and big fortunes go up and down with the slightest hint of bank health. Everyone is paranoid of banking issues causing wider collapse. Since the banking collapse, bank health has become completely equivalent to economic health. The economies are being nudged and designed to suit them. Central banks and finance ministries top priority is bank health. They are the favoured child.

Backing up a little, Greece's no strings soveriegn debt was converted into EU, Germany & IMF debt with strings in the panic phase of the crisis. Private banks were granted immunity from their bad debts to Greece and the IMF/EU is now acting like a leg-breaker loan shark demanding impossible payments or else. They are tying EU membership to repayment. That is not fair.

The EU needs a bankruptcy procedure. A way for insolvency to be resolved and a way for bad loans to absorb their due share. Greece's government did run the country into insolvency. But equally, these banks did a bad job valuing risk and making loans. Who says sovereign bonds need to be risk free anyway?

The cab drivers I talk to (which is a fair number, since I still take cabs) by and large hate Uber and are quite happy to talk about it, so if you're really curious, drop $20 and ask.

That said, my take: Taxi drivers were mostly contractors, and they did have to rent the cab. But I think that's way better than having to buy the whole goddamn car and then hope that they make it back. Plus paying all of the maintenance and being out of work if a car broke. They also had to pay the medallion fee, but most of them liked that system, because a) it restricted the number of cabs such that they could make decent money if they worked hard, and b) they saw the medallion system as their version of retirement planning. Specifically, here in SF medallions could be bought only by working taxi drivers, and in order on a waiting list. So the ones that talked about it to me were pretty comfortable with the system.

So along those axes, I think Uber is actually worse, and I think that mainly because cabbies say so. I agree that the previous condition still wasn't great, though.
Unity3D or Unreal Engine 4: What Engine to Choose
"The EU was never meant to be a transfer union"

And yet if nations are going to share a currency, they need to have a coordinated economic policy, and that ends up happening. Wealthy states in the US perpetually give money to the poorer states, but there isn't an uproar about it. Seems like the EU was doomed to fail if it didn't allow for this.
One way I've seen many people tackle this problem is to have the Dockerfile/image built in a more generic way, then the end of the Dockerfile kicks off an Ansible playbook (or some other lite CM tool) that will configure everything for the proper environment (e.g. change configuration and kick off a service, something along those lines).

Some will even go as far as using a CM tool to do the entire internal Dockerfile build, and the Dockerfile is just a wrapper around the CM tool. This does require more bloat inside the Docker image, as you need to have your CM tool or whatever other supporting files/scripts installed in the image, but it does make more complex scenarios much simpler.
Counted 6 downvotes so far. At least explain yourself. I want to hear the reason.

Because the press on cycling is mostly negative and as a responsible cyclist myself, who has never ran a red light, wears all mandated safety gear and knows the road code, I feel I must stifle negative speech as much as possible, to raise our public image - to have people regard us as safe and responsible and therefore be outraged at the person who ran you over and not the bicycle he was on, and to have drivers not carelessly run us over thinking "fucking cyclists".

Still another conference-call-specific take on p2p communications. Application assumptions are laced throughout the design. Which in my experience is the usual problem with open source IP - its tied up with so many assumptions as to be brittle.

Two Ways to Reduce “Hurry Up and Wait” Syndrome
A docker file is a pretty poor way of providing reproducible builds though.

First off there's the FROM line, which can contain whatever opaque image you feel like that already has dependencies inside it, and who knows how they got there or what will happen when it needs to be updated.

Then there's the fact that it's like a script but worse: every line creates a new image, and docker will try to cache the results after each line, but that cache can work against you if you're not really careful (imagine if build systems like make worked that way? No dependency tree, just refusing to execute the first half of your makefile because well, it worked last time so why do it again?

And in practice, you get to find out how many people just put an "apt-get update" in their docker file too. Now our backwards compatiblility is really just equal to Debian's. Hope there's no back ports repos in there or anything that would give a non-backwards-compatible package!

It's certainly possible to use Dockerfiles to create reproducible builds, but it's literally no better than a shell script at doing that. You have all the rope you need to hang yourself and then some.
