From Wikipedia, which agrees with my understanding of the phrase: "… such people sometimes act illegally, though in good will, to identify vulnerabilities in computing processes." My point, though, is that it's hardly out

That said, he could have gone "gray-hat" and used the source to find in-scope bugs. Such a resource would be invaluable to an exploit author or bug bounty hunter.

Exactly. And the headline is ridiculous. They aren't banned; the auto-correct engine simply won't fix an error in them. Which strikes me as a sensible default, especially for young users trying to type, e.g., duck. And of cour

(Assuming the title hasn't been changed…) Removed from service isn't the same as disabled? To my mind they're synonymous. But I suppose the former may sound a little more inflammatory. Interestingly, the initial email repor

Why do you think that excludes him from being the person of the year? I don't think those two things are mutually exclusive.

Hunh? I've had an archive option in OS X Mail since (I think) 10.8. Message->Archive. Or Command-control-A. Or there's also a toolbar button to do it (you may need to customize to get it, though, I don't recall if it&#x2

For context, see the previous story: "How Mavericks ruined Apple Mail for Gmail users" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6601202 Of course, folks there complained about it being a non-issue, too.

This doesn't fix the only bug I've experienced: The "Store draft messages on the server" Mailbox Behavior option is still not being properly respected or stored. It seems to be permanently on. While you can disable it

Doesn't Apple's Safari take the approach that Zikes proposes[0]? As far as I know, all you need to publish extensions is to sign up for a free developer certificate key, and then you sign the extension yourself. [0]. https:/

FYI - I just got the subscription cancellation notice. It says " Your Everpix subscription has been canceled. You can continue using your account until [my renewal date, well beyond December]." You may want to change that to re

It was a 'this day in history' — not only was it one year ago, it was any photo taken on that day. Which was even more awesome. I have 15 year old photos in my library. It was really cool to slowly relive long-passed vacations

Just got it. Thanks for your part in creating a product I loved. Best luck in your future endeavors.

Dammit. That sucks. I am (well, was) a paying member of Everpix and I loved it. It was very great. It surprises me that this is how I found out about the closing. They haven't sent out the notifications to members yet, it seems. G

Here's an interesting response[1] from Michael Everson back in 1997. Also interesting is that there's already a reserved area in the CSUR (ConScript Unicode Registry) for it[2], and you may even have a font that shows it[3]! I w

A bit of context at the beginning of the post would be useful. The "How I fight with users who try to steal…"[1] post has a good introduction. Basically, they're running a promotion that allows users to get free 0.01 or 0.0

Admittedly, the article isn't very well written, but it says that Dragos believes the malware to be installed through USB firmwares. Only after that does it communicate with other compromised systems via audio. Supposedly. The

Interesting that such a seemingly well-designed piece of malware would have such an obvious tell (refusing to boot from any other hard disk). Although I suppose that it is a rare thing to do. (Now's the time to check…) Also fascinati

Another class of these optimizations that are even harder (for me) to spot exploit matrix decompositions, multiplications, etc. If you can manage to convert your problem into some linear algebra system, a fast BLAS can do wonders. And the

Very fascinating. I'm excited to see where they go with these data. The final paragraph is where the money is. In particular, I think it'd be interesting to track students over time. Do some clusters have more difficulty pickin

I was curious if there had been any discussion about this. I suppose not. Recommended in the "Mavericks ruins Mail.app" thread[0], I was surprised to find it only costs $2. Given the lessons of Sparrow[1] (which sold for $3!),

Replace "huge Gmail user" with "huge email user that happens to use Gmail servers as the host" and you can begin to see the trouble. It shouldn't matter which IMAP client you use. If there's trouble in comm

The only problematic part for me has been that the setting "Store draft messages on the server" reverted back to being on. When enabled, it ends up generating hundreds of autosave messages and repeatedly trashing them. But Mail.a

Agreed. I'd love to see an article more thoroughly exploring that than one that unilaterally declares that it's no longer a university.

Fair enough. I guess I was more interested in the "why" than the "how" from the title. And given how thoroughly researched and annotated the "how" section was, I was surprised so little consideration was given
