XSS Sanitization in Web Application Frameworks
http://seclist.wordpress.com/2011/02/10/an-empirical-analysis-of-xss-sanitization-in-web-application-frameworks-joel-weinberger/
Abstract :
Filtering or sanitization is the predominant mechanism in today’s applications to defend against cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. XSS sanitization can be difficult to get right as it ties in closely with the parsing behavior of the browser. This paper explains some of the subtleties of ensuring correct sanitization, as well as common pitfalls. We study several emerging web application frameworks including those presently used for development of commercial web applications. We evaluate how effective these frameworks are in guarding against the common pitfalls of sanitization. We find that while some web frameworks safeguard against the empirically relevant use cases, most do not. In addition, some of the security features in present web frameworks provide a false sense of security.

Can Twitter sentiment predict Bitcoin exchange performance?
http://www.bitwren.com
I am scraping data from BTC China (CNY converted to USD), Bitstamp and MtGox, the top three Bitcoin exchanges making up roughly 80% of all bitcoin traffic, to see if Twitter bitcoin sentiment can predict market movement.<p>Comparing Bitstamp versus BTC China suggests significant arbitrage opportunities.

Web Design Legal Horrors

Few aspects of marketing are as crucial to a company's identity than its website. And fewer marketing vehicles can become as much of a money pit and time suck as . . . a website. It's a never-ending process of evolution, a frustrating "work in progress."
Show HN: Ip4.me/ip6.me API now shows X-Forwarded-For and RFC7239 headers
https://ip4.me/docs/
X-Forwarced-For and/or the newer RFC7239 Forwarded headers may show the local or public IP's behind a proxy or load balancer. This could be useful for some users, especially in dynamic environments. It can also be used to (sometimes) detect proxies you might not be aware of or to detect unwanted IP leakage.

Cyber-Security System Mimics Human Immune Response
http://news.discovery.com/tech/cyber-security-immune-system-110421.html
Computer scientists and IT engineers are increasingly looking to the human immune system as a model for preventing attacks by cyber-hackers. They hope that in the near future computers will be able to communicate among themselves, recognize threats, and be able to monitor their own health -- just like the cells inside our bodies.
Usability testing, by the author of "Don't Make Me Think"

Show HN: This is what happens when you VNC into the machine you are VNCing from
http://s1178.photobucket.com/albums/x379/sethwilson3/?action=view&current=vnc.jpg
Last night I was testing that I could VNC into my home machine remotely. I used the external URL to VNC into my machine using the built-in Mac OS X screen sharing tool, and within seconds my machine was spawning VNC window after VNC window

I had to snap the pic with my phone since the resources on the machine were quickly used up.

I was wondering if I would be sucked into the digital vortex it was creating and then have to start racing my processes on really cool motorcycles but that didn't happen <grin>

I thought it was cool so I thought I would share.

Linux and Android, together at last
http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-57399951-264/linux-and-android-together-at-last/
Boot to Android
"Boot an Android userspace" means that a developer could run Android on a standard Kernel.org kernel rather than having to fetch one Google's customized version.
That could be handy for many programmers--the large number using Linux in electronics devices with memory and processor power limits, for example. And Mozilla, with its B2G (Boot to Gecko) project for a Linux-based browser operating system, also stands to benefit from the integration. It's currently using the Android open-source project (AOSP) software.

Show HN: Clawn – A learning friendly statically typed programming language
https://github.com/Naotonosato/Clawn
I am developing a new statically-typed compiled programming language, Clawn, with the goal of making it easy to write high-quality programs.
Currently, Clawn has the following features
・Simple syntax
・Higher rank polymorphism
・Safe "any"
・Automatic memory management (WIP)
I value a gentle learning curve, and Clawn is designed to be easy to learn. For example, Clawn's function definitions have no type annotations and are defined as polymorphic functions, with the goal of reducing the amount of knowledge you have to be aware of from the beginning in introductory programs such as defining and calling simple functions, omitting type definitions and entry points (int main(), etc.).
It also has a “requirement" feature (like composable C++’s “concept”), C FFI, etc.

Clawn is still a work in progress, but will be actively developed after 2023 (after my college entrance exam).
How much is an Oscar Worth?
http://www.knowyourmoney.co.uk/how-much-is-an-oscar-worth.aspx
When movie budgets, box office takings or stars' salaries are often discussed as much as the movies themselves, it is clear that the cinema industry shares an indelible connection to the financial world. And the histrionic marathon that is the academy Academy Awards is certainly no exception. But in light of the economic downturn, the financial aspects of this year's Oscars are being scrutinised more than ever.

A Set of 10 Amazing Firefox Ad-Ons For Bloggers & Content Sharers
http://www.techsavys.info/2011/01/set-of-10-amazing-firefox-ad-ons-for.html
Today i am here with an amazing set of Firefox ad-ons/plugins/extensions for Bloggers and people who love sharing content. So lets start with ad-on list.

Pearl Trees : Its a firefox ad-on specialised for sharing content.

1. Pearl the stuff you like on the Web. A pearl is like a bookmark. It holds anything you find interesting on the Web. Click it to open it, drag and drop it to move it… or put your pearl into the trash to delete it.
2. Organize your pearls by moving them to pearltrees. A pearltree is a curation of webpages. It works like a folder for pearls. Unlike social bookmarking, no need to tag and re-tag. You can open it, close it, browse it, move it into an other pearltree or send it anywhere to share some of your interests.

Chinese teenager sold his kidney for an iPad 2

A broker contacted me on the Internet and said he could help me sell one kidney for 20,000 yuan.”

Ask HN: freemium services - are multiple subscription options better?
I'm creating a freemium subscription service and am wondering if I should have one "pro" account or break the "pro" service into smaller focused subscription services.

It's a site for musicians. The three "pro" services would be: extra space (photos and music), very detailed play stats, extra exposure/promo (featured spots etc).
These could easily be individual services or all lumped into one pro service.

Other examples:
wordpress - breaks down their site into several different services.
evernote - just has one premium service

Thoughts? Experiences? I haven't seen any good write-ups on this.

Thanks!!

Show HN: Thinng - Instapaper for Products
http://thinng.com/im-with/hacker-news
Hey guys, I was really inspired when I saw the reception to HackerThings yesterday. We built an app over the course of a few weekends that we've been using personally but not had the time to promote, we're growing organically just via word of mouth & referrals currently.

Thinng is a place to create visual lists of all the products you might want to buy, or want people to buy for you. So technically you can use it to create your own list of HackerThings or whatever you are into.

Install our bookmarklet, use it when you're on a page with the product & save the image with a description/title into whichever list you want. You can update it with a custom image if you're like me & prefer higher quality images of products, but it's up to you!

Some of our users are using us as an inspirational source so technically we're not just limited to products.

All lists are currently public, but we are considering allowing private ones & the ability to follow individual lists if we get enough people using the app.

Happy to take any criticism or suggestions from the community. It would be good to get some feedback on what we can do better to drive users to add products (i.e. making the bookmarklet more prominent in the signup process).

Some example lists:

User page: http://thinng.com/thegyppo
Gadgets - http://thinng.com/list/6-gadgets
Things I wish I had at home - http://thinng.com/list/43-wish-i-had-this-at-home
I Love Tea - http://thinng.com/list/41-i-love-tea

We also built a custom landing page, this is for when we pitch to blogs/partners but it'll allow you guys to bypass Facebook only login that active to the public for now.
