ne0n | 10 years ago | on: Meet the new Asana
Slack and Asana are completely different, I'm not sure how you can say they accomplish the same thing. Slack is a group chat and Asana is for task management. My company actually uses both, and Asana is integrated with Slack. We can create Asana tasks directly from a Slack conversation and assign them to someone. As a software developer, ideally I want to be using Jira. We're a small company of 8 and decided we needed something for everyone, not just developers, and right now we've settled on Asana and I love it. Our business and marketing projects are organized very differently than our development projects, and that's great.

The point is that it doesn't say anything about what it does. A programming language could be described as a "easy to use, powerful, and reliable system to process and distribute data." It processes and distributes data? That just sounds like a computer.

These are 7-inch capacitive touch screens, less than $70 from amazon prime, same resolution (800x480), mount with 4 screws, and use HDMI for video and USB for power/touchscreen. The downside is that the touchscreen drivers are binaries. Somebody online made an open source driver that appears to work perfectly, so if you're not using Raspbian or something else their binaries are made for, you might have some driver hacking to do.

Are there any examples of that being used successfully? My guess would be that people will just create new accounts. This might be the perfect place to test that model, though. The content is already free, you don't have to worry about losing royalties that people don't pay for if the test fails. There might need to be a strong emphasis for having an account (being able to customize or save recipes without losing data from creating a new account).

All of the accounts sync even if you don't use mobile, if that's what you're saying. You can always log into their website and view your passwords.

Well, yes, it was a joke, but many people are probably confused about that. It's worth noting.
ne0n | 10 years ago | on: ADP intentionally broke its Zenefits integration
That would be pretty easy to figure out. You can't really keep that one a secret because you have to tell your users to switch it in their accounts. A simple dns lookup will tell you if it's pointing to zenefits.com. And if ADP already knows the accounts that use zenefits, I'm sure they're just going to watch them to find patterns. Even if you bought 10 domains, your customers still have to share them, and ADP still knows who they are. You could probably do that for brand new customers, if you keep the number of people on the same domain to a minimum. Seems like a lot of work to me.

That article is quite old (from Jan 2012). Amazon's independent publishing platform has extensive checks for plagiarism and content that is freely available on the internet. I know this system was there at least 6 months after that article.

Just because someone didn't die doesn't mean that ordering a hit is okay. From the chat logs I've read, DPR ordered a hit on one of the SR employees (Green, I believe) who had gotten arrested. When DPR found out, he thought Green would talk, so he asked another SR employee, Force (who was an FBI member and was actually participating in Green's arrest), to kill Green. Force agreed and pretended to kill him and faked photos with Green. DPR thought he had killed someone. Does that make it not a crime because Green didn't actually die?
Anyway, that's not even what this case was really about.

> it's still going to be relatively easy to determine which output is change
I'm not sure that you understand what the impact is. It's revealing that a group of transactions all use the same software. Finding out which one is a change address isn't really important.

TextSecure has encrypted group chats. If there's any downsides there, I'd be curious to hear what they are.

Assault: "Intentionally putting another person in reasonable apprehension of an imminent harmful or offensive contact. No intent to cause physical injury needs to exist, and no physical injury needs to result. So defined in tort law and the criminal statutes of some states."

Stop sensationalizing the title. A building that is currently being built with Amazon as the planned tenant caught on fire during construction.

It's not specifically not allowing these devices, it's broadcasting on a restricted frequency without the proper license. The FCC regulates who can broadcast on which frequencies. Getting a ham license can open it up a bit, but there are still regulations to follow.
ne0n | 11 years ago | on: MIT computer scientists can predict the price of Bitcoin
...That's not how Bitcoin trading works. In order to trade, your bitcoins need to be deposited into an exchange. Trades are not recorded on bitcoin's public ledger because there isn't a transaction for every trade. Bitcoin cannot currently handle that many transactions.

The point where an interview becomes illegal is when you do actual work. In an interview, they should run through mock scenarios to gauge if it will be a good fit. You do actual work after they hire you. Companies pay for training employees for a reason. Here's a flowchart for if you internship is illegal. http://www.moneysideoflife.com/illegal-internship-flowchart/ It's pretty much exactly the same in this scenario. Included in there, is a link to the Labor Department's regulations on the subject.

What do the android ids look like? I'm assuming it's just a number, but I don't know how big. The page you linked to says the key is md5(android_id + "seems legit..."). It seems to me like this could potentially be brute forced to find the android_id using a captured encrypted image.
ne0n | 11 years ago | on: Plastc Card
That was my exact concern. Chip and PIN is kind of broken. Someone else linked to sources, so I won't. From what I remember researching about a year or two ago, was that one of the attacks on Chip and PIN was to generate fake transactions with the card. If you replay those transactions to a POS terminal in the same order, they will be valid. If you use the actual card before the captured transactions, it throws off the order, making the captured ones invalid. My guess is that this card is either taking advantage of this vulnerability, or making some kind of deal with individual banks.
You find Trello easier to use and more flexible than Asana? I actually find the exact opposite. You do task management for your entire company with Trello?
