It is not. It can be turned off... https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads&section=social...

How is this even a problem, when you can turn it off? It's under the following link: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads&section=social...

Matters not. You still have no idea which one of my main passwords, how many they are nor where its used. Also, this particular password is non-critical which is why I used it as an example, but you're welcome to try and hack my accounts ;)

Probably from NIST Special Publication 800-63. Level 3 authentication requires cryptographic keys with an entropy of at least 80 bits. http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-63/SP800-63V1...

I think 80 is overkill. I'd say anything above 60 is secure enough for most passwords. One of my main password (consisting of only lowercase letters) has an entropy of 78.7 bits, which is good enough to safely guard sensitive information like financial records, but then again, it's 21 characters long :)

If you are adding to the 8 char password you aren't creating unique passwords. They share the initial 8 chars with each other. Still, this method is much more secure then using password.ly.

Which is why I am against such services. Imho, they do more harm then good.

This merely gives the user a false sense of security. What if a hacker get hold of your master password? I rather advocate the use of different high-entropy passwords divided in security tiers. A junk password for places you don't care about or fully trust, a generic password to use on trusted services and secure passwords for crucial services.

How about... The diapositives, motion blur, scratched wooden surface background and shadowed borders (simulated lighting)? Those are the main design elements of the site, and are all skeuomorphic.

Not related to the article. Seems Bret doesn't care much about us Windows users. It's more or less impossible to scroll with your scroll-wheel with that custom scroller. Personally I think he's trying too hard with worrydream.com. I feel it's hard to navigate, with bad responsiveness and clunky, even on Chrome. I believe the bad UX comes from the skeuomorphic design. I've never seen such design work good for a software UI.

That aside, Bret Victor is a genius and I love most of is work. He's a great inspiration to me, and should be to anyone involved in any form of software development.

It's not ridiculous. http://w3fools.com/

That explains it all.

This is really old, created in 2009/03/18. You an also use: gravoogle.com or gravigoogle.com to get to this page. He also created the Google Sphere a couple of months later, though that one has never been updated to the new design: http://mrdoob.com/96/google_sphere

If you don't like your workflow, change it. It's really as simple as that. If you can't change it, switch to a job where you can. Trying to change how other people perceive you or your job will only make it worse. Just because so many are feeling that they are stuck in a continuously endless loop of negative feedback, doesn't mean its right or the only thing there is. You, and only you, have the power to change your own mindset (for the better or worse). There's nothing that does that for you.

This is like comparing apples and oranges. I'm inclined to think that the creator of this video is biased towards AeroFS.

Read the article again. Child molestation and rape is obviously never acceptable (except to the most disturbed of minds), but the same should be said about putting innocents in jail. You lower yourself to the most abysmal level to wish Rick upon this fate.

You're not the only one. Considering that the owner have ads on the site, gives evidence of someone who want to make a quick and easy buck from trolling the community.

Hacker News killed it with fire!

Is that a date in the url? If so, its in the future ;)

Yeah I agree with you that they haven't really created a jellyfish. It's not much more then a muscle that contracts in the same way as a jellyfish when subjected to an electrical charge.

But if you read it all you'll notice the following paragraph, "Parker’s lab works on creating artificial models of human heart tissues for regenerating organs and testing drugs, and the team built the medusoid as a way of understanding the “fundamental laws of muscular pumps”. It is an engineer’s approach to basic science: prove that you have identified the right principles by building something with them." - This in itself is a very nice feat.

So, we should all stop outsourcing and do our own dirty-work.

I'm not so sure about this whole "tell a great story" shabang. Sure, it's a part of the whole picture, but I am definately sure that Apple has a lot more to gain to keep things under the lid as long as possible, then to just "tell a great story". Means to an end, so to speak.

And how does not having code names for products ruin the great story more when the product is known? It wasn't about secrecy, remember...

What's aesthetically pleasing to a OSX-user might be something totally different to a Windows-user. A UX designer who doesn't know that, is worthless as well ;)

I wonder if they wrote such a friendly cease-and-desist letter to Rockbaren in Gothenburg, Sweden. According to the new owner of the night club, this had already been played out between the old owner and JD. Seems not!

There are 2 main (tech) differences:

- Mongrel2 uses SUB/PUB (2 channel), BlastBeat uses ROUTER/DEALER, you only need one channel for request and response.

- Mongrel2 put the whole request in a single message, this is easier but forces you to pass uploaded file as filenames (so backend must be on the same machine or need access to the mongrel2 machine) or to buffer into memory (for adding datas to the zeromq message). BlastBeat requires you to manage request content data assembling 'body' messages.

So, 2 different approaches. In addition to this mongrel2 is a full featured webserver, an area in which BlastBeat does not want to compete :)
