Re,

I've push some modifications on the UI regarding your comments. You can now use some predefined datasets if you don't have an algolia account. For now you can build se search engine with data from Dribbble, Hacker News, Docker.io and some Pokemons :)

1. FALSE ADVERTISING: If the competitor advertises PCI compliance --- or even advertises "we're secure" --- that's very possibly false advertising in violation of Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act [1] and perhaps various state deceptive-trade-practices statutes. Some years back, U-Haul got a $44 million judgment against a competitor whose ads for rental trucks included inaccurate dimensions. The damages award was tied to the cost of corrective advertising that U-Haul would theoretically have to do. [2]

2. TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE COUNTERCLAIM: The competitor's terms of service with the customer probably include restrictions on access to the competitor's system. The competitor thus might claim that the OP's accessing of the customer's data constituted "tortious interference" with the competitor-customer contract. [3] The competitor's lawyers are likely to pursue such a claim, because it lets them reframe the issue in their favor, it might allow them greater discovery from the OP, and it could also lead to a punitive-damages award. (Whether a tortious-interference claim would succeed depends on a lot of facts that we don't have.)

3. CFAA VIOLATION: As others have pointed out, depending on the circumstances, the OP might have violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. [4]

All of the above assumes U.S. law applies.

Does archive.org let you download dumps of all of their data? If they make a weekly torrent containing their whole data-set it would be easily immortalised...
One benefit he didn't even mention: keyloggers

Someone scanning a keylogger file might not even notice "this is fun". It doesn't look like a password.

The only time someone has gotten my password was actually from a keylogger when I logged into Facebook at a hostel while traveling.

Pro tip: Another way to defeat those is using the virtual keyboard in windows to "click" your password in. I do this while traveling now.

This is what annoys me about the package management/release system of nearly every Linux distro. There's no easy way to cherry-pick just one package (and its dependencies, obviously) from the bleeding-edge branch. It's all or nothing.

Ultimately, flexible package management is what keeps me using Gentoo and dabbling with Exherbo, in spite of the fact that I don't really want to tinker with my OS anymore.
Me too, but I just went to amazon to buy it and discovered that the kindle edition is more expensive than the hardcover:

I wish Javascript has an easy to use unified library/module system. Something like,

require "http://ajax.googleapis.com/js/sha1.1.3.1"

In the browser, the browser would download and cache the the library and all its dependencies. For the server side, the server environment would download and cache the library and its dependencies in the same way.

Edit: Ha, a reply was deleted so fast that I didn't have a chance to reply to it. To clarify, Sha1.1.3.1 was meant to be an example of a library, not the SHA digest of a library, though that would be a nice feature. Also "require" should be a feature of the language, not using the html <script> tag so be able to work in the server environment.
That seems odd. I just registered one a few days ago… (fj.is).

Also you can register domains directly at isnic.
but this is an inherent feature on all forum type sites. Should we all install separate scripts for each webpage we visit?
It's fairly common for names of places, especially places of great historical importance, or areas where multiple cultures have traditionally overlapped, to have variant names in different languages.

There's nothing really odd or strange about this, and Trois-Rivières/Three Rivers is a trivial example, in which the translation is directly obvious. There are plenty of other examples that are a bit more confusing, especially where German place names are concerned; see Bratislava/Pressburg or Aix-la-Chappelle/Aachen.

Calling San Francisco "St. Francis" is strange because "San Francisco" has become the standard English name of that city, which doesn't seem to be the case for Trois-Rivières/Three Rivers - the very fact that no one ever says "St. Francis" but the author of this blog did use "Three Rivers" is evidence of this.
edit: And by "general case of partitioning" I mean exactly the opposite. Whoops.
Study of one person. That's not a trend.
Our tax dollars at work... It sickens me that the Federal Government is allowed to waste money on this type of things while there are people dying from a lack of access to insulin here in the the USA becasuse of the cost. Why not simply let people come and work here if they so choice and use the taxes we collect to support our failing education and social services system. #AbolishICE
Technically, carbon pricing at $100 would probably do it. I agree politically that's hard.
Yes you can, although at the moment it is done manually as I haven't got round to implementing a proper crypto checkout flow!

There are instructions on the subscription page of your account.
Where would the incentive to reduce emissions come from then? If you divide your tax of increase in emissions by 300+ million people, your effective tax increase will be low compared to the money you could make by increasing emissions.

One promises free money to voters of a certain age. The other just (silently) benefits everyone. I wonder which is more useful for getting into office? Its all posturing.
I have to disagree. While weed certainly can and does induce anxiety on occasion it is no where near as intense as magic mushroom trips. It’s not on the same level.

A mushroom trip can leave you feeling refreshed regardless but if you have a bad trip it may expose you to your deepest and darkest fears and become a terrifying nightmarish experience that weed couldnt induce if you tried.

The horror of a bad a trip didn’t necessarily teach me anything other than to respect mushrooms much more than weed.

I have had friends say the same. There is no comparison of the paranoia from weed vs the absolute horror of a bad trip.

I feel that people who say there is havent really done a lot of either to know the difference.
Anyone know how to check these from different locations? I'm curious about how Transnistria is treated from Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, and Russia.

>Google, which also produces a popular Maps app, does not show Crimea as belonging to either Russia or Ukraine on its maps.

>However, it uses the Russian spelling of Crimean place names on its maps in Russia, rather than the Ukrainian spelling.
They had no game and thus no food. So they switched to agriculture because they wanted food.

(food > no food) == more
>my unrealistic view of what Australia is like, but that doesn't seem very enjoyable, safe, or even sane.

That's Australia and Australians for ya, mate. And especially young Australian Field Scientists. They're a hardy and fun loving people in a terrible and unforgiving land. Source? Personal experience and historical documents.
The author of the blog is particularly known for plagiarism. Whenever I have more time I will double check the originality of this article.

I'm interested in a remote internship or junior backend role. I'm very skilled working with the aforementioned technologies. I have done a lot Web development involving the backend side.
income. As noted elsewhere in this thread, many of the ascribed self-defeating attitudes are endemic to indigenous (>1 generation) lower socio-economic strata across the 'racial' spectrum. Yes, there are vestiges everywhere, I'd start there.
Amen to both points:

1) Linode's been nothing short of great. Simple, quick service and a VPS that's always lightly loaded.

2) Absolutely agreed. I had Linux installed on a home "server", but really never got cranking on web work until I got my own server-in-the-cloud. Hadn't really considered that renting the server might drive my activity (rather than merely enabling it), so that's a nice point.
Ah, but you forgot one of the 'special' aspects of that $1000 device: it comes with a lock to which you don't hold the key. Taking the clothes comparison further, you can only wash these clothes at one specific laundry. The manufacturer decides which clothes you get to wear on which day and which occasion. They also decide on what style of clothes you wear. Should you not like that style, tough luck. When they launch the 'new style', the laundry won't accept your old clothes anymore - good luck walking around in dirty clothes.

Apropos beds: I built mine, about 15 years ago. It cost me all of $30 in wood and sundry.

To summarise, throwing money at a problem is usually not the best solution. Throwing as much money at a problem as someone will take is hardly ever the best solution.
Today's lunch will be pan-fried lamb leg steaks with roasted tomatoes and sweet potatoes.

It is a little time-consuming, but not too bad - maybe 15-20 min of downtime. My girlfriend and I both work from home and eat Paleo, so ready options are a bit thin on the ground.
I know in some situations you can use dot product and it's an optimization I will apply. A bit more care must be taken though. The input must be unit vectors and the output can be positive or negative.

I tend to do my first code as logically clean and then apply optimizations later. This will likely be replaced by an `IsCusp` function instead, to make it even clearer, and provide a clean place to do the optimization.
>Helping kids in Africa? It's only to make yourself feel good. Helping that fallen granny get up? It's to make yourself look good in front of others.

Exactly! Of course we do things to make ourselves feel good. And since helping other people makes us feel good, why shouldn't we be honest about our motives? It's win-win.
do you think this is just a by product of elite journals being targeted more often, rather than a conscious effort to optimise profit?
Having sold a product to the recruitment market for a while I can wholeheartedly confirm this.

There's no first mover advantage here; there's only a "most able to convince people to switch from 90's tech to 00's tech"-advantage.

FWIW We sold video interviewing software and decided to abandon recruitment because the market had low requirements for software quality / innovativeness and high requirements for stability and track records; which was the polar opposite of what we offered.

Additionally; ATS integration was paramount for all large players. ATS providers knew that and charged for it at levels only heavily funded companies could afford.
Hey , can you share which hosting you are using ?

Maybe consider a different currency? The USD is really strong at the moment, causing the price to be really expensive for most countries.
This is interesting, but is there some way to say what the name of each prison is and where it is? Some of them look "nicer" than others, some are quite interesting-looking and I'm curious to learn more about them.
And that's when they finally came out. They talked and talked and showed journalists who were sworn not to reveal what they'd seen in detail, and so on, and didn't show any code for the longest time.

This is one of those cases where I'm curious what, if anything, will happen to the CEO. He didn't just make some honest mistakes, he really fucked things up, running SCO into the ground, and causing a not insignificant amount of trouble for Linux and open source companies at the time. Sure, he lost his job last year, but so did a lot of other people.
The Academic Copies of AutoCad print watermarks when the drawings are plotted. If entities created in an academic version are brought into the database of an existing drawing, the watermark also prints. In otherwords, the market value of academic versions is limited (though this was not the case 20 years ago). In addition, Autodesk typically sells subscriptions to its academic software, not licenses.

Their arguement, does not reflect the facts as one might say.
Training them can also be more involved than you think. Make sure you have the resources to have one or more people drop their productivity significantly while you bring the intern up to speed. Adding interns is a Mythical Man-Month equation++.
any surprise this individual's karma is -39.

Otherwise, ignore.

Did anyone else consider the "currency localization" bit silly? I mean, Apple can pull it off to sell songs for 0.99USD, 0.99UKP or 0.99EUR, respectively, but if my locale determines the currency, I'd rather read Japanese dates and pay 1000 Yen for something than read English dates and pay 1000 Pounds for the same thing. (roughly: 1000 Yen ~ 10$, 1000 Pounds ~ 1500$)

tl;dr: IMO, currency is an example where localization has to be server-side (exchange rates, sale taxes, yadda yadda ...)
I wish, although it seems fixing that requires convincing several million people that that terrorists are not actually hiding in every shadow. But somewhat related: fix baggage handling. There's no reason you should have to wait half an hour to get your bags after you get off the plane. Take care of that problem and people will be more willing to check their bags, which in turn will make boarding and exiting much smoother. Although airlines would have to get rid of their idiotic baggage fees, the improved efficiency should more than make up for it.
The examples of `stolen code' were #define:s and things of that nature, which are so trivial that they're bound to be reproduced almost verbatim.
Doctors have tons of shit, often important, to do all of the time. It's hard to imagine them getting so excited about a product (unless it's a snowmobile or a yacht, which I say from personal experience) that they'll drop something important to respond to your sales pitch.

It would help if I knew what type of medical product you were selling. Is it a device? A tool for front-office stuff? Billing or back-office?
Not necessarily in a company. Lots of inventory can be unaccounted for.
You are also right on the niche ad-tech. I want to discover new products and brands again, not get shown the same product over and over again because I used a specific keyword or bought that product 3 months ago.

This is something I will ponder on as it can potentially lead me down the path of improving digital marketing without banging my head against a wall! Less talking more doing as they say.
Azure AppService has some pretty good support for that.

I also believe that there are crimes where a death penalty is warranted, but I also do not believe it should be executed because I do not believe any organized entity exists that could follow through on those penalties without being provably uncorrupt or infallible, and therefor it should not be considered an option in any civilized community.
Forget 2FA - yubikeys can be actual full key generation/storage for a GPG key in smartcard mode, and then via gpg-agent those can be used for ssh. (gpg-agent replaces ssh-agent.)

My ssh keys never leave the yubikey.

I have a different dedicated yubikey in each computer, with its own unique key, and a stolen key is useless without its unlock PIN.
> Some are using sneaky techniques to move requests through 1P domains

Just for an info, I have written a mitming proxy that takes care of those (cname cloaking) and a lot of other things, including fingerprinting, supercookies etc., with support for various blocklist (domain to adblock), js injection where the injected scripts are handled in same manner as blocklist (you can stockpile them and make rules), changing validity of cookies (to session cookies for instance), saves your data trough highly effective caching and even helps spying cdns save some bandwidth as they are mostly no longer visited. And yes, works as transparent proxy too (for router enforced usage). Imagine fully armored firefox for whole network, regardless of browser, freebsd,linux,windows,arm8. Working on cross platform gui, release soon.

So I might know a thing or two. ;)
I'll drive myself as long as I legally can. I don't trust computers.
just for reference 1kg of aluminum raw material,not alloy, not processed, not packed, not transported - just mined is over 40KWh.

In that regard even the raw materials for the car are orders of magnitude over.
I just spent 30 minutes reading about this. I'm so shocked that I'm logging in to comment after 5 years of lurking.

Justine has built a c library that allows you compile a binary once and have it run it on any os or baremetal. The SAME binary. Quite frankly, that sentence doesn't even make sense to me.

Check out https://storage.googleapis.com/justine/cosmopolitan/index.ht...

As far as I'm concerned, this is literal magic. Look at the magic numbers:
https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/37a4c70c3634862d8d...

I could go on, but there's no binary portability comparison with any other language. And she has made some pretty neat optimizations.

Back in the day, I saw some pretty neat stuff with the ELF format, but this takes the cake.

Wow.

I'm struggling to put my shock into words. I've been around.

There's engineering. There's academia.

But this falls into straight-up wizardry.
i have a UDM-pro and it's done a decent job at that - it's really neat tbh.

But only get a UDM pro if you don't need link agger or the ability to control multiple networks from the same controller (i wanted to throw a USG at my parents but can't join it to the UDM pro because.. reasons). it has some annoying limitations (IDS/IPS cannot keep up with my internet anymore) that if i knew about i'd have gotten a USG-pro and a cloudkey.
This reminded me of the Lost Symbol book (which is also mentioned in the article. For reference, it's from the same author of The Da Vinci Code).

I recall reading this in the book and regarding it as junk science, but it really exists after all. The other "science" mentioned in the book though...

I never imagined my "bogus science" detector to fail me in this unexpected way. I guess I have to check not only for "bogus" science, but also for fantastic yet real science!
I use github. I don't whitelist it in noscript. Because I use noscript in the way it was intended to be used.
Not working for me. Is it fixed? I can see only JavaScript.
IE8 on Windows XP.
no examples exist. the wikipedia example is terrible. epidemics were caused by something that had never existed up until that point? (water network) and because profit margins were too low? so you're going to tell me that a lack of running water caused widespread DEATH AND PESTILENCE and people still were going "nah, I think I'll wait for those water bills to drop some more"?
I think we as Americans have a very bipolar feeling about everything America and can be very cynical and I really thought this article would feed our cynicism.

I was pleasantly surprised and rightfully reminded about some of the greater points of our country and culture and it was refreshing... A foreigner being offered a ride from the airport without a stutter of consideration and being told "this is America, son, we help each other out"... that if the fact that the U.S. Spends as much money on defense as the whole world combined concerns you, remember that the White House would he the first call made from your country if you were invaded... I chuckled at the elevator comment... and so on.

Well done. A tad too simple, but makes for a nice light quick read.
Why didn't Richard Marttel drop out of uni to do it anyway?
The phones would be very compelling if offered with stock Android, since no one seems to do it outside of Google, anyway. Huge market potential there, but too bad no one is willing to take advantage of it.

Imagine if Nokia became #1 provider of stock Android phones...most Android fans would be swayed immediately.

Oh and of course they'd also need to be on the cutting edge of technology. They don't seem to be doing that lately, except for the cameras.
Agreed. When you have a really hard programming task, you need to be in problem-solving mode, and a lot of times you have to find errors in your own thinking. A big ego will only limit your capabilities to find misconceptions you hold true.

A big ego might help to project an image of how cool you are, but computers couldn't care less.

It also explains -in my opinion- why geeks are not the aggressive type. It's just a waste of energy when you're dealing with a computer.
Those people will make monumental balls of complexity regardless of the technology, that is what enteprise architecture is all about.

Every generation has a couple of people earning their bread as enterprise architect.
No. Imagine if a few workers were being overdosed. The TSA would get sued and they'd have to find some other way to annoy us.

No data, no lawsuit.
Thanks. Right now I'm using AppViz for download analytics...
And she's got a double-space after "sad".
...those who do work on cool projects might want their checks signed by Zuckerberg.

I can't understand why that would matter, and frankly I find the notion very depressing.
(Working on the assumption that the author is being sincere here) This displays such a fundamental misunderstanding of copyright that it initially shocked me. But in retrospect I suspect this attitude is probably very widely shared, particularly amongst younger people who've grown up with Napster and filesharing and bit torrent. While most of us don't republish other people's copyrighted work, I'm sure very few of us haven't got _some_ "illegally copied" copyrighted material somewhere on a hard drive. And from one point of view, what she did is not really any different to all those YouTube videos with unauthorized music tracks backing them - I'm not saying that's a _correct_ interpretation, but I can easily understand why some people - like she's doing here - think they've got some right to do that.

I see this as a fundamental, and probably generational change in the way the public thinks about copyright, and it'll be fascinating to see how the legal system "catches up" with public expectations. It could well be that when people like her get into positions where they're making the decisions about whether to extend Disney's Mickey Mouse copyrights even further, they'll be sitting there saying "WTF?", and perhaps_ bringing some sanity back to copyright laws.

I hope some artists and creators survive long enough to see that day...
