the addons signage is an automated process.
one idea is to use a static analysis tool and look for memory exploits. for practice you could take say an old version of any popular app (say bittorent v0.1 ) and run it through the tool. the older versions would have example bugs and memory exploits so you can get familiar with the tool. maybe that would also give you some ideas of places to look for bugs (since first versions tend to be more buggy).

the most fruitful has been for a long time sql injection (imo). while thats largely been fixed by parametized queries, theres probably a ton of software that was never upgraded.
Speaking up when someone hurts you, deliberately or otherwise, _is_ taking responsibility.
To people not in the developer community it makes a stronger point.

They think that exact story is actually possible, and drawing them in ("see, this is exactly what I'm afraid of!") goes a long ways towards convincing them otherwise.
You might want this guy's mirror: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/3gh8wj/ubuntu_one_f...

I worked for a large company which will remain unnamed, who a few years after purchasing a 12-year unlimited support contract, switched to using Postgres. Read: they were already locked in to paying for Oracle's most expensive contract for 12 years, regardless of what services they used. In short, they concluded that due to the cost of developing for Oracle, it was cheaper to migrate to Postgres than to continue using Oracle even when Oracle was free.

The authors provide no evidence that this murder would or could have been solved but for encryption. It is a tacit appeal to emotion seeking to play on the revulsion of murderers that a non-technical audience can identify with while they downplay real risks that don't evoke the same strong emotions so that they will accept compromised security.
There seem to this normally accepted statement that Sweden do not "normally" perform questioning in other nations, but doing just a lazy google search I find plenty of examples where Swedish police has ventured to other nations to conduct questioning with suspects, victims or relatives. Normally those news articles are about murders, but that is the focus of most news articles when dealing about crimes.

I would be very interested to see statistics on how often police from Scandinavian countries visit each other, interview criminals that jump borders, or simply ask the local police to do the questioning. I personally doubt its such a rare and exceptional occurrence, as I saw a article where police from south of Sweden was lobbying to address speeders who cross the bridge between Denmark and Sweden.

They were paid nearly twice minimum wage.
The assumption is that Y Combinator thinks that they're providing value through resources like mentorship, and that if they spread those resources too thin, they'll reduce the odds of producing a billion dollar company (or some similar metric). Sure, that limit may be flexible a bit one way or the other way based on the quality of the applicants, but it's neither necessarily irrational nor artificial prestige-bumping quota to limit to a couple of dozen teams rather than taking hundreds who they think are good.
I wonder if TERRORISTS said the same thing, eh? Eh? Amirite?
I can see your first point, but I still have to see yet any quantification (a shift in questionnaire answers towards more "PC" over the decades, for example), until then I remain unconvinced.

Most cases in the author's article have to do with other universities - about the author's university, he complains about "counselors" (again, I think that's a financial incentive for the university - "customer support", happy customers study longer therefore pay more, special customers for groups who normally don't study -> more students from that group -> more money), and people in pajamas, which isn't really a problem that I can understand.

Now that I've re-read it, it's a bit weird that a psychologist writes a sentence like this:

> It seems that Harvard students, for whom the average grade is A- need more help.

If you're expected to have an average of A- by your peers, teachers and professors of other universities then I'd expect the pressure to be enormous, of course you'll see more problems with mental health!

Life would be a lot better if it wasn't for those annoying clients. Oracle should just refuse to deliver software to anybody, that'd fix it all.

Anyway, I've never read a better article supporting the use of free software.
> I really, really disagree. If your data is on my computer I should have a say in what happens to it. If I want to tunnel your hsts connection through a proxy I should be able to do so.

You need to read more about how HSTS actually works:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Strict_Transport_Security

It does nothing that a site could not do by having their webserver redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS with the exception that it prevents the browser to never make an insecure request to prevent a man-in-the-middle attacker from tampering with it.

Of particular interest, note that it does not prevent you from using a proxy if you choose to configure one. The only thing it prevents is a transparent proxy intercepting all traffic on the network, which is a class of MITM attack, and a frequent source of security or privacy issues.

If you need to use a tampering SSL proxy you would, of course, need to configure it to generate certificates using a CA which you trust, which is a well-documented feature and something which has already been a requirement for many, many years.

> As for your 'no downside', as I said, perhaps not for normal users. But I most definitively am not. And I probably need to jump though a lot of hoops to tear this "feature" out of my own firefox build.

Or learn how to configure your proxy so that it works with the security mechanism rather than unnecessarily exposing you to attacks. Your argument is a perfect example of why this is a good move: most people will simply hit whatever button causes the page to load without thinking through the security implications.
Shame asthe currency of open source
Did you read my comment? Because, I explained this already.

'I can't really explain this through text though, so I'll give you a better explanation when I see you this evening.'

While I'm not explicitly saying I know you in real life in the previous sentence, one could certainly make that inference. And then when someone calls me a liar, all I have to say is, "Listen very carefully, I never said I knew ddingus."

The very nature of an implication is that you aren't explicitly saying something, but rather are phrasing it in a way so that another person would be led into thinking something else. That's what Feynman did.

How has it started to ring hollow? The last time we had a similar piece, that Vox article with a prof complaining about "liberal academia scaring him", he wasn't countered with mere notions that he was inflating a non-issue, but actual counter-factuals regarding his exact claims (ie: that discussions of abortion were stifled by "liberals", for example).

I don't think there's any topic that's more "Pro-Skub" vs "Anti-Skub" in the entire internet than "Outrage Culture" vs. "People outraged at Outrage Culture".
> the reverse engineering is prohibited for ages

Not in some countries. Oracle would be against the law in that case, that's why people are unhappy.
Have you read the article?

> Two details: the extensions need to be signed by Mozilla, and only US English speakers will be allowed to disable this requirement.

This is not what is written there. The addons need to be signed by mozilla. The process is automated.

The unbranded version of Firefox is distributed with the English locale. You can install other language packs.

Firefox Stable and Beta can't disable the signing requirement. Firefox DevEdition, Nightly and Unbranded can.
Nor for me
Sure, your example in making medical decisions is racism, too.

Racism isn't just a collection of things that you, or people generally, feel is distasteful. When there are actual differences between races, racist policies are the way to go.
Yeah, I'm getting "This page isn't available offline. Connect to the Internet and refresh to view it online."

Obviously, I'm online.
The in-box Settings app already has a privacy section that is easy to find, has a nice GUI, and breaks down privacy options into reasonable categories (location, contacts, calendar, feedback, devices, ect). Microsoft may need to add a few more options, but overall it's a huge improvement over the privacy controls of Windows 8.1.

Another example for tenancy is that your landlord can not prohibit you from keeping small pets[0] (including cats) even if you sign it.

Another example is that EULAs are prohibited by law from containing any clauses that a customer could not reasonable be expected to assume to be in them. This hit WhatsApp when it tried to ban users who used unofficial clients (which would not violate the EULA of most other messaging services and can therefore not be prohibited simply by adding a clause to the EULA).

[0]: within reason, obviously. The landlord would have to prove that the pets present an unreasonable nuisance to your neighbours or cause unreasonable amounts of damage to the landlord's property.
I agree. I think (or at least hope!) that the juvenile style is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way, and thus inspiring them to be less charitable to the content than they otherwise might be.
> I was busting my buttons today when I found out that a well-known security researcher in a particular area of technology reported a bunch of alleged security issues to us except – we had already found all of them and we were already working on or had fixes. Woo hoo!

That's like what 5yrs old kids say when they mom ask them something.. "Mooom I was already thinking about it! Hush!"
"They nap in the library or in the hallway of academic buildings during normal work hours."

Wimps! In my day you sat in the back row of the classroom and slept while the lecture went on.
Sarcasm is best avoided online, the subtle intonations in voice are completely lost with text.

That said, there is a clarification in the article that does need to be stated. The prof is not against rape, racism, sexism, PTSD counseling, etc. Rather, they are just a new person in a long line of fuddy-duddys complaining about the youth of today. I believe the prof's gripe was against the perceived laze or lack of courage that their student's exhibit. I think this comment in particular should be expanded on by the prof:

..Most disabilities that I am asked to accommodate seem to be unspecified and are remedied by providing the students with a separate, quiet location and an extra 30 minutes to take an exam.

If the prof can start to gather some stats on that and make a real case that the students are abusing these privileges, then some change may be possible. Until then, the prof is just another old man complaining about kids on their lawn.
Plus, Oracle's approach is like renting from a landlord who won't let you check that the locks work.
This is quite relevant in other spheres as well (racism, inequality, genocide). It's natural to create a bubble around us to keep the negativity at bay. But reality sometimes pops that bubble. It's always surprising how many have to interact with them for one reason or another.

> The education of having to provide for yourself imparts a lot of discipline and enthusiasm

I think you have it backwards. Higher learning should impart on you the discipline and enthusiasm you need for the workforce, and not the other way around.
> Is five years evading law enforcement really that much better than ~1 year in prison?

No, clearly not, especially considering the circumstances of the evasion is similar to a Swedish prison. He probably doesn't have a playstation in the Embassy, but he could have had one in his prison cell.

The only reason Assange submitted himself to being locked up into the embassy for 5 years is because he truly fears extradition to the US. In my opinion, rightly so. Remember Sweden allowed secret CIA extraordinary rendition, aka torture flights only a few years before the Assange event[1].

Have you ever thought why that is?

I'm a "white NT cishet male", as well, and at a glance, you can't tell the decent people from the awful ones. It's about behavior, and in a space where most people who look like us act like shit, it's not unreasonable to generalize a lack of trust. It's not on them to be understanding, it's on _us_. because we're in the position of privilege in this situation.
As I've understood, the accusation for rape in this case is for Assange starting to have sex with the alleged victim while she was sleeping, without wearing a condom (the "not wearing a condom" is the key part here; otherwise it apparently would have been technically illegal, but "consentual" in practical terms). Are you really saying that that is "only slightly less bad" than murder?

The 5 year limit, btw, only applies to the accusations for "Unlawful coercion" and "Sexual molestation" (times two). The rape accusation will remain open for another five years (unless the prosecutor decides to drop it).
The only trend that seems to really be growing to me is the willingness of people to sympathize with marginalized groups of people. This is not based on some out-there notions that all people should be comfortable all the time. An idea like that would never survive, except in the minds of a small number of extremeists. The overall trend, toward a society that is more willing to make accommodations for those who need them most, is actually positive. You won't see people who write these sorts of articles praising the big picture though. They are only interested in criticizing cases where it goes too far, but people taking an idea too far is not a new phenomenon. As people learn to grapple with changing social norms, I don't see any reason to think that cases like these will tend to go away, and we will be left with positive change.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot of enterprise software vendors who want their products to be inscrutable so that after you buy it you need to hire their consultants to tune it to perform acceptably for you. If you understand how it works, you might be able to stop being a part of those extra revenue streams.

Heh:

There is a pair of selfish memes here. "PC" is a meme and so is the attack on PC.

For a bunch of reasons it is not feasible for people to talk about or expect any actions about the real problems they face (for instance, the cost of college, all of the ways the 'meritocracy' falls short that aren't connected with race and gender).

(Oddly, for all the talk about race-class-gender, you never hear about class because a lot of history got forgotten in the 1960s. For instance, you hear about anti-semitism, but you don't hear that the Klu Klux Klan was an equal opportunity hate group at the peak of it's influence which hated irish people and italians, as well as blacks and jewish people.)
> and should eventually output every possible string.

"Eventually" being the key word here. Fuzzing with purely random inputs will take eons to actually reveal non-trivial bugs...
In the article they say that Firefox DevEdition, Nightly and Unbranded will have a switch to turn this requirement off.

Have you read the article? In the FAQ section they explain which versions of Firefox you can use if you don't want this requirement to occur.

Oracle DeWitt Clause
Operations are not going to be sublinear. So that lower limit does make very small absolute orders matter.

And I think it's implied that validation has to actually be possible on computers, so given that constraint an enormous number for brute-forcing will almost always be a solid option.

So n^2/anything is going to suck. n^3/anything or n^4/anything may or may not suck. And n^100/n^small is great.

Also RSA operations aren't n^a/n. They're sub-exponential to brute force, and n^3 to encrypt and decrypt. Unless you mean a different system.
I have some results and there seems to be a consensus for Sedgewick's. There was a course on Coursera mentioned.

Dev Edition is not less customizable... its just Firefox with a new theme and more bleeding edge dev tools which you should be using to develop addons anyway.
Simple Keyword Research your Mama could do
Huh, that's quite interesting, thanks for the thorough explanation.

I live in Argentina, and it works quite differently. Patients wait outside the doctor's office, the doctor will call them in, examine, and prescribe any study, treatment or medication necessary.
The patient leaves and the doctor remains in the room.

If the patient needed some study (eg: some scan, blood test, etc), they'll need to head to the hospital's lab with the order and get it done there (or you can go to another hospital if you prefer, though I don't think this is common at all).
If there's a medicine prescription, then the patient will have to go to a pharmacist and get it himself, again, with that order.

Private hospitals are paid by each patient they see (and studies are paid separately), either by the patient or their health plan.
Public hospitals are free, though they may charge some studies/supplies. Some public hospitals won't attend you for free if you have a health plan and will instead force you to use it instead.

I'm not sure which system is faster, but there's no nurse involved in general when just seeing the doctor, which must make a difference (eg: less personnel), and it's the patients who move around instead of the employees.
This site agrees with you: http://www.expertlaw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106435

"People often confuse "breaking" with some overt act used to gain entry, like kicking in or prying open a door or window. But as Tiger noted, "breaking" refers to the violation of the "plane" which constitutes the natural boundary of things like walls, doorways, or window openings - so even reaching THROUGH a threshold or imaginary "plane", such as an open window where the natural continuation of the wall (or even car door) would constitute the plane broken by the reaching."
I do think this is a clever solution (so have an upvote), but it's not exactly the same thing.

A lot of things get a bad name because they are used incorrectly. Look at SQL: it's actually great if you use it for the correct problems. The same thing applies to XML: if you're actually using it for the correct problems it's somewhat irreplaceable (XMPP is a beautiful example of how XML should be used).

Putting namespaces into JSON seems to fall into that dangerous territory - rather use the tool that's designed for that job from the ground up. JSON is great at the 99% of things that XML gets abused for, but it simply can't replace the 1% of correct use-cases for XML.
You can also request that the Web Archive fetch a URL from their homepage: https://archive.org/web/ ("Save Page Now" in the bottom right). I triggered the 7:09 copy this way; whether or not the other four fetches yesterday were also manual, I don't know.
