> more than 70% of today’s WordPress installations are vulnerable to known exploits (and WordPress powers more than 23% of the web).

I did some consulting for a company that was being destroyed by wordpress installations being hacked. When they first started offering wordpress for a blog option (blogs were not their main offering) the threat profile was different. Fast forward six years and they were getting hacked daily.

I recommended that they move their wordpress blogs to flywheel, and have flywheel manage wordpress for them. It worked and they were able to focus on their main offering, the real reason customers were paying them.

Services like flywheel are one answer to the problem of insecure CMS code. The other, and better in my opinion for a lot of sites is to run the CMS locally, keep the database local, and push the rendered code to the server.
You don't need it, you can do it legally on any bank or exchange office. Since getting money out is the illegal thing and not using another currency inside Morocco.

If you're a politician or with a bit of power you can get money out of Morocco easily. Even when politicians caught doing that (no foreign nationality but owning stuff outside of Morocco) newspaper write about them and they respond with stuff like I really needed that since I have to send my son to study there...

The funny thing is that the typical (old) LCD monitors have greyscale banding. If you think on HSL , on a typical monitor you will have an effective 8-8-6 . Usually monitor firmware try to give the illusion of a effective 8 bit on luminosity channel, doing little changes of colour to soft the banding effect. Intereting the old CRT monitors not have this problem thanks that they not don't do any image processing beyond playing with hue/brightness/contrast (and this could be archived by a few op-amps and a few pots)

This my case with my old Samsung monitor, but this monitor have some tricks that helps a lot to see bad softing on 3d meshes thanks to the weird banding/posterization when you look it at extreme angles.

Self-taught IT jack of many trades who requires little hand holding. What I don't know, I download and learn... just like every other piece of tech I've ever used. Started with Windows 3.1, moved to RHEL in middle school.

Interested in DevOps, QA, systems administration, and cyber security.

I am looking for a company to grow with -- one that is accepting of someone who got his CS education actually touching software instead of being lectured at in a classroom.

Ideal opportunity: A small company that is looking to repay some technical debt and is bringing on a second DevOps or QA Engineer or a jack of all trades to work along side a more senior resource.
Very cool. I wrote a Go playing game for the Apple II which I sold.

I have recently become interested, again, in Go programming. I have started setting up a framework for using GnuGo to generate training data for a deep learning network. I am starting with a tiny 7x7 board just to see if the general approach works.

If it works (at all) then I will post the entire project to github.
Yep. I used to be one of those guys with two 250-CD binders full of all sorts of music. I went to the used CD bin weekly through high school and college because they had deals with 3 discs for $10 so most weeks, I'd use my paychecks to pay the bills and tip money for CDs. Later on, I amassed quite a collection of DVDs as well.

Later on, I realized I was watching and listening to just about everything via my computer or mp3 player so I began the process of ripping everything to my RAID (now just a standalone NAS).

Of course, I did sell those CDs and DVDs on craigslist afterward so that's just about as legally dubious as downloading unlicensed copies. I just figured I didn't need the stacks of plastic circles laying around anymore and could use the cash.

Either way, between rips and still occasionally buying mp3 albums on Amazon, I've got a load of digital media and Plex is an excellent way to stream it all to devices in my house. I use my phone or a laptop as the "remote" and the Plex server streams to my Chromecast, Xbox, or other computers from the NAS. It's a great setup. For people who want to use an Apple TV as their media extender, it looks like they have the option to use Plex as well.

Honestly this is a bit of a surprise since I thought Apple typically wanted to steer you toward iTunes for local media streaming but as someone who really doesn't like iTunes and generally avoids it whenever possible, Plex support makes Apple TV an actual option now.
They should have used a viral license like GPLv3, and sold commercial license exceptions.

Real-Time Chat with Ember 2 and Pusher
Fax machines were invented before the telephone. Before the telegraph! They were originally a needle on a wax engraving for the send side; a pen on paper on the receive side. They scanned the wax cylinder, and a dot-skip-dot pattern on the receive side rendered the message. And all this was done in China.

Why? Because the character set in Eastern languages was far too large to fit into something like Morse Code. There was no real alternative.

I wonder if fax persists today for some similar reason?

if your shopping for that stuff I would use a marketplace and make sure your using a vendor that's been around a while and has good feedback. I was looking for chargers one time when I was selling used phones on ebay. The company rep asked what label I wanted on it(aka brand). Needless to say I didn't buy any. Another one would print what ever wanted on a usb memory stick(including 8GB on a 2 GB stick and when you plugged it in said 8GB on the computer). I tried to save a 3gb folder to it and it fried. luckily I only bought the sample.
A spinal cord injury has some relevance - is the location of the interview going to be accessible? Is the location of the job going to be accessible?

Also, some places have recognised that they have bias, and they've put in place some system to reduce it. See, for example, the "two ticks" scheme in the UK.

You're not paying for speculative revenues. You're paying for known quantities of valuable material.

It's also highly unlikely Apple will last 400 years, so no one would price them at this.

As I said, this is an estimate. Coal covers a very large part of the US (38 states, totaling about 13% of all US land area), and we have about 25% of the entire world's coal reserves. Even if you bought rights to some existing mines, demand for energy would simply make people build new mines on neighboring land. So you're going to play a game of catchup trying to buy all the coal bearing land (or at least mineral rights).

Consider simply the cost of buying 13% of land rights (or even enough to make a dent in the production) in the US. It's staggering.
Totally weird.

In legal circles, those cases, along with the Ellison suit, are considered seminal examples of how judges have consistently upheld religious arbitrations over secular objections.

How is this a whole lot different than Shari'a, the same Shari'a that apparently the states of Kansas and Oklahoma (and others)0 are dreadfully scared of? Will the same judges uphold a Muslim-owned business' right to use Shari'a arbitration?

I disagree that a phone number is required. You don't have one here, nor on Facebook should you use that. Identity doesn't need to be tied to a phone number and arguably .. shouldn't be.

How is centrali[zs]ation important? Mail works transparently and you don't know a thing about the stack behind a random address, right?

I'd side with the GP: The 'one server, ours' and 'your phone number is your identity' limitations are what I'd like to see go away. Prioritizing the 'no phone number' over 'hosting my own server', as far as I'm concerned.

There was some story about the Japanese diplomat to the US before the war, was driving in the hills around San Francisco. He came upon two guys building a road: one in a truck dumping rock, one with a bulldozer. In Japan, that would have been 50 people with baskets and donkeys moving gravel.

He wrote a description back to his bosses, saying something like "It would be suicide to challenge the US industrial machine". Too bad they didn't listen.

No. It makes me sad that people still believe this. :-( Free software does not mean GPL. The FSF is quite explicit about what licenses it considers free, and they coincide almost exactly with the licenses that OSI declares open source.
I'm about to do a Java to iOS shootout, so this is fairly apposite for me. RoboVM's big advantage for us at the moment is that it's a commercially-supported product in a space where you are completely at the mercy of your tools; if your use case falls outside Google's, then j2objc is a potential cul-de-sac; XMLVM looks interesting but may still be more of an academic project than professional tool, and so on. Ultimately, it makes more sense for Xamarin to give RoboVM more resources and take the codebase internal: the end result is likely to be a better tool and higher revenue.

Are deterministic builds possible with the Android toolchain?
You know what I've always wanted, but my searches have led me to believe that it (inexplicably) doesn't exist?

I want a simple site generator. I don't want markdown, I don't want a fancy templating engine. I want some simple templating system that takes in normal HTML and generates pages from simple templates I define. I want to shove in some arbitrary HTML and have it spit out a site using some base templates.

To the best of my knowledge, that doesn't exist. It would be perfect for someone like me who wants to keep a website updated, but doesn't always want to run PHP on the server for something as simple as that.

I implemented a shoddy version of it on my own, but it's far from ideal. I'm pretty astounded there's not a well thought out version of it out there, considering how useful it seems it would be.

HP split social media campaign hijacked by Spanish activists
I'd like to challenge your assumptions a little (although I agree with the other commenter that the reality is more nuanced): why do you think that distributing capital is forceful while it fairly belongs to some people to begin with? You seem to assume that private property is the natural state of affairs, while in reality it is a social construct that started with the agricultural revolution, when people could start accumulating wealth. It is society (which preceded property) which allowed people to own property to begin with. Private property (as a value) is a social invention. Hence, it could just as well be argued that society forcefully de-distributes property and entrusts it in the hands of a few individuals.

fax is still very useful in France if you want to quickly solve an issue with a bank. Most of the banks do not accept documents send by mails, they ask to use post mail. If we insist a bit, they often accept to use fax. My ISP (Free is the best ISP in France) provides a fax number to send and receive pdf documents. It is not as handy as a mail, but it is a lot faster than post mail.

This kind of accountability only makes sense in a functional and free society. But I agree with you on the grassroots. This is the poeples problem to solve. They have to fight for influence and for political power. And if they don't care, so be it. They are free to burn their whole country to the ground. I think it wrong to intervene from outside. The only thing we shouldn't do, is doing business with them. This doesn't seem to be a democracy, and we betray our ideals by doing so.

Sharia law, christian religious courts, and Beth Din, all have similar problems.

There have been serious problems with child abuse not being reported to child protection / law enforcement; or of rights of women being ignored (eg, the "get" needed by Jewish women to recognise their divorce is often not issued).

So it's really frustrating when people wang on about sharia and how evil it is and how it must never be allowed to happen when a: it's about as bad as the others and b: it's already working (in the UK, at least).

Most shocking - because unexpected - news to me is the plastic waste from the laundry. First time I read about that was only a few months ago.

It means, all our super high tech modern wear finally poisons our drinking water. And the most sporty young cool dressed guys are the worst polluters. One more reason to stay with natural fabrics.

Industry always tries to convince us that their high tech stuff is superior. Honestly, after buying a lot of it, I doubt that's true. All the artificial clothes smell quickly and they are not warm at all. I am switching back to cotton, wool, real leather shoes and (for the winter) down: This all feels great (but needs more attention and care).
Sorry, someone in government has control over this. They have a military and I am quite sure its not multinational's run amok. When people blame capitalism in many cases it simply is government run amok. These companies cannot operate where a military is without someone allowing it.

"We show that our implementation achieves 5.5x and 5.25x better performance per watt ratios than GPU and CPU implementations, respectively."

This is from Altera and they probably skewed to FPGA side. But still, FPGA can be very competitive if you consider power budget.

Xeon Phi costs $3900: http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Xeon-Phi-7120P-Coprocessor/dp/B0... It consumes up to 300W.

The average kWh in USA is $0.12: http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2011/10/27/141766341/the-p...

So Xeon Phi consumes up to $36 of electricity per hour, $864 per day and electricity start to dominate as quick as in 5 days.

Typical FPGA consume about 10 times as less power as Xeon Phi.
"Statically generated JSON resources" implies client-side rendering, and I suspect you'd find some disagreement over whether that's really static. If there's only one such resource per page, then maybe, though you'd still be losing some advantages wrt caching. If the JS running on the client has to fetch many such resources and stitch them together, then it's functionally equivalent to a standard dynamic website and shares many of its drawbacks. Sure, you distribute some of the top-level logic to clients, but the server still has to find each of those individual resources and that's basically the same load as a DB (if not worse as files).

The reason many people (including me) have gone to static generators is not just the static part but the generator part as well. It's not just static but preprocessed, no further operations necessary except to deliver dead bits. That captures all of the caching, security, and other advantages in a way that hybrid approaches tend not to.
