On fresh boot as low as 4.9W.<p>Turning the screen off shaves 2.5W, and disabling the wireless card saves ~1W.<p>I suspect the SSD + HDD are making part of the difference. | null | 11,494,097 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

You need to quit, open the file, find the line, do the change, save and quit. Now you need to reopen git diff and scroll to the old position. This all takes a lot more than 5 seconds on the terminal.<p>Another scenario: You type `git status` and see a file called `src/a/very/long/path/file.c` hasn't been staged yet. Now you need to type that file path for git add or git diff.

Their motives, the drugs themselves... all the same.<p>Let's take it further. The drug you need is a cancer treatment that costs $100,000. The drug itself was paid for with a mix of tax dollars and private R&D that resulted in a patent. The patent at this point has paid off its private R&D plus plenty of profit.

Same goes for the roomscale tracking. There's no point in discussing the capabilities of a product before it's manufactured at scale, with all the cost-cutting that entails. Trade show demos really does not say anything unless the product on show has gone to production.<p>When Touch becomes available on the Rift, Vive could be ready with newer versions of their headset.

11,501,422 | null | comment | cosmie | 1,460,682,537 | I wouldn't say it's super wasteful, but there is waste involved since he's on AWS. AWS bills EC2 usage hourly, and doesn't do fractional billing. If you deploy, then 5 minutes later deploy again (and provision a new instance and destroy the first) you'll still pay for the full hour of that first instance.<p>So every deploy incurs that usage rounding. Depending on the frequency of deploys and the number of servers being deployed to, that adds up. | null | 11,501,237 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,501,429 | null | comment | tptacek | 1,460,682,643 | I'm only going on here because I'm worried I've been unclear about the nature of the damage here.<p>If you're objecting to the idea that, having caused a breach, the convicted attacker is now on the hook for securing the application they broke, so that the attack they used is no longer viable, I agree. That is in no way fair.<p>But that's not what's happening.<p>Instead, having been breached, and <i>only</i> because they've been breached, the victim is now in a position of needing to assess the extent of the damage done. They can't guess --- at least, not if they're a major corporation --- because continuing to operate when you have reason to believe you've been systemically compromised is unethical and dangerous.<p>That's the difference between a DF/IR audit and a security audit. A security audit tries to find all your vulnerabilities. A DFIR audit tries to <i>scope the compromise</i> and <i>retain evidence</i>. Of the two, the DFIR audit has a narrower scope and more specific purpose.<p>But, weirdly, it's also more expensive. There are more application security consultants than there are DFIR auditors, and DFIR auditors are often selected by insurance companies, not by the market.<p>At any rate: the costs we're talking about Keys having incurred are not a bonanza of free assessment work Trib gets to bill to Keys. | null | 11,501,050 | null | [

People have learned when they published something as small in the news, they would multiply by some factor to get an idea how bad it really was.<p>Then something really bizare happened. Refuges had started to stream into different cities. And for some strange reason, they were shunned. Others somehow thought these survivors were contaminated, cursed, builty or what have you. So instead of being embraced and helped, they found themselves trying to hide who they are and where they came from. | null | 11,501,145 | null | [

Is there a reason you couldn't select libraries to download at the start of your project? It's not like you switch libraries too much, especially after initial exploration. I don't think it'd break workflow too much to check some boxes or pick a few packages, I do it already in sublime.<p>3. To allay concerns about storage for some, couldn't you dump the data after some point? It seems like to be useful you'd only need it while someone is coding, and certainly not long term.<p>Just some thoughts, would love to get a response.

11,501,440 | null | comment | Silhouette | 1,460,682,866 | <i>...if Priv is shorthand for privacy, then that's veering close to dishonesty.</i><p>I remember one experience very clearly from when the Priv first entered the market. I looked through the related web pages, curious about where Blackberry was going. I found plenty of marketing around tools that would notify you if various things went wrong in terms of privacy and security. However, I found <i>literally nothing</i> to state that the phone would actively prevent those things from going wrong or check with the user before performing actions they apparently considered significant enough to warn about. It was one of the most marketing-heavy, content-light, non-committal product sites I've seen in a long time.<p>Until today I don't think I've been there again. After reading the initial marketing, I just assumed the phone wasn't actually going to be significantly more secure or private than anyone else's or they'd have told us how it was instead of skirting around it repeatedly for the entire site. In fact, if memory serves, it was at the time based on a version of Android that predates some significant improvements in terms of app permissions and locking down what they can do, suggesting that contemporary models from competitors that used a later version of Android would actually have been much better than the Priv in at least some areas of security and privacy. | null | 11,499,716 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,501,432 | null | comment | daveguy | 1,460,682,707 | Interesting. I have been somewhat weary of the "machine learning for everything!" approach that google has taken recently -- i just don't think it's there yet. I wonder if a learning algorithm on the google side just started deciding outgoing spam and not giving correct feedback. It is very curious that no url works and with url doesn't. That should give straightforward repeatability (if they can simulate as your account). Have you tried sending to different target e-mail addresses during the test? I saw once it just worked and a bunch of stuff flew through. Also saw there was some question as to quotas. Did you get it clarified? Are you maybe above usage quotas with the regular e-mails so test e-mails are being stopped/delayed? Are test and production separate? It seems like if it were a google side issue there would be an uproar from the users. | null | 11,501,258 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,501,453 | null | comment | nickpsecurity | 1,460,683,045 | Alternatively, the law makes a distinction between types of harmful activity that are legal and types that are illegal with interesting results. The kind of very damaging activity smart, disciplined people do that ruins lives is often legal. These are [Wall] street thugs. Then, there's other types of harm the lesser people can pull off that are illegal. There's also stuff they do that doesn't harm other people but is severely illegal.<p>So, I don't think there's an average criminal given the variety of crimes, levels of harm, and criminals themselves. However, the average criminal on drugs in my area is a working class person who poses no threat to society but smokes weed on occasion. There's also a number of addicts who are similarly not a threat but will receive long sentences. There's also thugs who range from your description to well-educated people who say "screw being someone's b<i></i><i></i> for minimum wage when I can be my own boss for $50k slinging this stuff!" On thugs, similar predatory behavior as many business owners except their type of harm is allowed and affects more people. Even when it's indirect murder.<p>What's law and what's ethical isn't the same. The law can enforce evil, stop good, and do arbitrary things hard to judge. | null | 11,499,053 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |
