Rogue APs are generally defined as APs that you don't manage but have been connected to your wired network. Obviously this could be a significant security risk. I don't think they're sending deauth messages to every client/AP they see.

How do you know if your backups are good? Better to test a restore when everything is still working fine rather than waiting until you really need it and then finding out that your backups are broken.

I assume you're meaning the message on the first slide? Hit the right arrow on your keyboard.

I think so. Mariott made a request last year asking for permission to block "rogue" access points from inside their hotels. This is the response.

My interpretation of this was that it was more of a reminder to hotels and convention centres that they're not exempt from the existing regulation. If they're found to be in breach of existing regulations then they will be fined.

I have a 1TB SSD in my late 2013 15" MacBook Pro Retina and System Information is reporting that it has a 4x link. Even with the additional overhead of having FileVault enabled I still see read/write performance in the region of 1000-1100 MB/s.

iOS 8 has timelapse, implemented as a series of photos taken a few seconds apart and then stitched together. This appears to be a video stream that is then smoothed and then (optionally) sped up.

I have 2 invites left, if anyone wants one. Email is in my profile.

Edit: both gone

The Ghost Foundation is a UK organisation and I can assure you that USD is not the default currency here. If they're willing to make the effort to accept USD, I'm sure there are plenty of bloggers able to make the effort to pay using it.

Regardless, USD is the de facto standard for SAAS payments (whether this is good or bad is a discussion for another time). If you can't pay in USD then you'll find a substantial proportion of services unavailable to you.

Ghost and WordPress offer hosted blogs as well as source code. It's no longer necessary to worry about servers or FTP details just to get up and running. Creating a blog is now as easy as filling out a form on a website and clicking submit.

Your only other USP appears to be the ability to parse themes designed for a different engine. Is this going to be enough to distinguish Ospari from your competitors? Is it feasible for someone to write a WordPress plugin that achieves the same thing?

While not quite the same as having FTP access Ghost do offer hosted blogs from only $5 per month. Anyone that can set up a WordPress.com blog should find Ghost just as easy.

If you're referring to the browser screenshot I think it's Opera (which is now based on Chromium) rather than Firefox. That will at least explain some of the similarities.

Whilst the site is down here's a link to their successful Kickstarter from last year that gives a bit more information about the project - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/marser/owl-programmable...

Completely off topic, but if you were going for the coffee vibe it really should be "ProjectEspresso". As a coffee fan, a small part of me dies every time I hear someone order an "expresso".

In this Foreign Office memo [1] from April 2006 "Firecrest is the FCO's IT infrastructure; it sits on the desks of our staff around the world. Firecrest is a globally-networked desktop system that provides users with a standard suite of Microsoft office products including Outlook email, web browsing, Access databases and Excel spreadsheets. Firecrest was developed in 1997 and in 2003 the FCO completed the roll out of the current generation of the system."

Whilst the timing is slightly out (Vista wasn't released to the public until 2007?) it may be possible that Microsoft provided them with a version forked from a much earlier build.

However, the memo does go on to say that the Government were planning a third generation of Firecrest due to be rolled out autumn 2006 with support from HP. This might be the version that is forked from Vista?

A quick heads up, but at present your application is in violation of the SDK terms and conditions.

2.2.5. Unless otherwise provided in an agreement between you and Leap Motion, you may not use "Leap Motion", "Leap", "Airspace" or any other trademark of Leap Motion in connection with your Application or company, or in any URL, product, service, name field or logos created by you. However, you may indicate that your Application is "for Leap Motion" or "Leap Motion-enabled".

I'm pretty sure that this is just temporary as it's part of Yahoo's Thirty Days of Change (http://www.yahoo.com/dailylogo).

Maybe a botnet has started using Tor for connecting to a central command server? Might help explain a doubling of nodes but minimal traffic increase.

The number of directly connecting users from Russia does appear to have doubled [1], but this can also be seen in UK user numbers [2]. For such an increase to be seen globally my hunch is that this is down to either the Pirate Browser [3] or some other software release - not necessarily a response to a particular law being passed, NSA leak etc.

Not had much luck with the two plugins I've tried to install so far:

1. The Nginx plugin has a broken init.d script. Not the end of the world, but hardly a plug and play solution.

2. The Varnish plugin download is behind a self-signed SSL certificate (which is for a different domain no less). Furthermore the Gems it requires are loaded from a GitHub repository that is no longer available to the public. There simply doesn't seem to be a way to get this plugin installed.

The install process and software requirements for the plugins also appear to be wildly different. It would be incredible if New Relic provided the ability to install plugins over the command line from a central repository - something as basic as `newrelic install $plugin_name` would be ideal.

I really hope that these issues are worked out as I think this platform has real potential. It's just unfortunate that the quality of the plugins appears to be far from production ready.

A few months ago I erroneously port scanned our office HP networked printers (I meant to scan our internal servers but a typo meant I selected the wrong IP range). As soon as nmap encountered the JetDirect ports every single printer spewed out a dozen pages of total gibberish. Put it this way - I bet the owners of the printers you just scanned are slightly puzzled why their printer kicked into life.

More worryingly is that on many unpatched HP printers[1] it is entirely possible to push an unauthorised firmware update through port 9100.[2]

[1] Enabling OS updates is one thing but I wonder how many businesses actively update their printers to the latest firmware versions?

This is now the 5th time you've posted the exact same link to HN. What's changed?

This may just be an urban myth but afaik Vim uses hjkl because the terminal[1] that it was originally used to write Vi had a keyboard where the arrows were on those same keys.

Also, the escape key was in the place of the modern day tab key making switching modes much easier.

I'm more than happy using a combination of Vim (not MacVim) and tmux on OS X. I was spending more and more time in the terminal (running tests, committing changes, etc.) so it made sense to me to incorporate Vim into the window as well.

FYI my transition was Notepad++ > TextMate > Sublime Text 2 > Sublime Text 2 + vintage mode [1] > Vim.

Original discussion from a couple of years ago can be found here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1710702.

You could probably try setting timeoutlen to something like 500 milliseconds (or whatever feels comfortable). Bear in mind though that this is a global setting.

At the risk of playing devil's advocate, I would argue that giving candidates the ability to use virtually any language or framework and develop on localhost is not necessarily an advantage.

When I'm looking to hire a Rails dev then I want to know as soon as possible in the interview process that they actually know some of the basics of Rails and MVC - not just if they can build a web app. Furthermore, by hiding the candidate's choice of language/framework (and code quality) behind localhost the benefits of assigning an arbitrary coding challenge are lost. I fear that the only solution would be for the candidate to submit the full source code.

However, as a very quick "can this candidate actually write code" filter, I think you're well on track.

Shay Pierce was the only employee not to go to Zynga [1]. Even though the tweet doesn't explicitly mention Shay Pierce I'd say that the subject is still fairly accurate.

It doesn't really look like there was any attack. One of the developers made a mistake with the PHP opening tag in the config file. Anyone visiting the page would have seen this output.

Sorry guys, but that's probably what's happened. I did do a quick site: Google search for the page title but it didn't bring back any results. Apologies for the double post.
