End Result: One of three head terrorists is being held by their own organization as a traitor and thirty-four unrelated terrorists are being held by their own organization and brutally interrogated about actions they did not commit. One terrorist is in the custody of the Scotland Yard, and a British terror cell has been exposed. Bina Al-ar-mal’s entire communication network is compromised (but they do not know that yet), and their website has been taken offline permanently. All members of Bina Al-ar-mal are now becoming increasingly suspicious of their fellow members and the hacktivist collective is now in a position to launch further attacks on Bina Al-ar-mal (using the compromised email and social media accounts) at a later time. This has all been accomplished in under a week.

Espionage – Create Spies in Node.js. Easy to Use. No Dependancies
It's more than a bare metal server - you're still running EC2 instances atop of it, except only your instances are running on that server. Looking at the price of the underlying instances if you run it fully loaded, it seems pretty comparable running those instances non-dedicated.

Reading this just blows my mind. I've gotten my family and a few friends on Signal[0], but these types of things only help if you have basic access to the Internet.

What type of infrastructure future proofing can you do when it's such a centralized technology? I've been thinking about renewing my ham radio license again (no more Morse code!)

He would bang stones together. Then, on finding the different tones they make he would discover the inherent math in music. He would then utilize this to make a basic program to make people dance. From this he would find out about looping (repeating sections of music).

Then he would invent a way for others to program (musical notation) and start to write it on cave walls. But, unhappy with the quality of the charcoal used for writing he would devote years to developing a new type of ink capable of pretty printing.

Finally he would retreat to a distant cave to work on The Art of People Programming.
JSON parsing in android using PHP and MySqli
What's confusing is that, if the React-based admin client uses an API to talk to the PHP wordpress site, why involve node.js at all?

As far as I can tell, the node.js portion is just returning an empty admin.html, and that's where client-side React.js kicks in? It seems PHP would be able to do that pretty well, with the advantage of single technology and a more obvious approach for the self-hosted wp.org sites.

The "well" part is questionable. It's been many years since I used CVS, but I recall things like branching and merging being much more tedious affairs. People move on to things like Git not just because they're fashionable, but because they're more productive. When I see a large project still using CVS, it makes me wonder if there's some point trying to be made.

> You have no idea how cheating in games works. They dont touch the exe, they touch the memory.

Well, that would certainly make it harder for Blizzard to stop cheating. But not impossible; they would just need to require clients to have locked down memory. That is probably impractical (for example, it might well mean they would have to sell their own locked down client devices), but it's not impossible.

> You can not stop game hacks with any first strike system

Sure you can. But the system might not be practical.

Simplified Control Flow in Node.js
Deliberate limitations can facilitate art. The demoscene proves that. But what if the entire demoscene collectively refused to use modern hardware? Or insisted that only 1K demos are acceptable? Deliberate limitations are only one tool an artist can use. The film industry has collectively decided to do something equivalent to specializing in 1K demos and then denying that any other types could be any good. This does not look like a carefully considered artistic choice.
Does anyone know how this architecture compares to cowboy? I know erlang is known for concurrency, but I'm assuming erlang isn't as fast as the custom-tailored C here. OTOH, I feel slightly less concerned about security issues with erlang.
The author's right, though, in that this is the competitive advantage 800lb gorilla aggregators bring to the table. When some clueless manager demands Facebook include some tracker as part of an ad buy, Facebook's answer is "no, take it or leave it", and after a few rounds of increasingly petulant emails with FB's bottom tier support staff, he relents, because he never really had the option of not buying Facebook ads in the first place and he was just posturing.

At most media companies without the market power or willingness to use the power they have, the request would reach his counterpart on the sell side and they'd be off to the races out-stupiding each other against the mutual interest of their host companies.
games like Nethack and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup actually have client scripts that do that. One could take them as a foundation to work out the details of such a tool. I think this would be really really helpful.

It's a defector problem. Any 'legitimate' machine can join a botnet at any moment, along with all the permissions and trust you vested it with back when you approved of whatever it was doing.

As someone who's driven that road dozens of times, I can tell you that it's one of the most dangerous I know.

It has very steep cliffs and it's very narrow. It's the only main road between the two small towns.

I can understand the locals annoyance when they're stuck behind a cyclist for the whole stretch and cannot safely get around them without risking their life or the life of others.

There are plenty of roads in the area that are safer, not to mention the abundance of off road riding trails for mountain bikers in the area.

Cyclists deaths is misinformation, but the sentiment from the locals is real and warranted: please choose another road, this is our only road and we got places to be.
To clarify, you don't think private investment is up to solving the better car problem? Government needs to pick the winners and losers in this situation?
OSX user; registered as myself.

First impressions are not good.

• scp very slow; doesn't work

• vim scp:// doesn't work

• emacs tramp[1] definitely doesn't work (scpx says invalid command; ssh, scp and sftp methods say "EDITOR SOON")

I noticed you're using ssh2js[2], but not using its built-in features for getting the public key from the client.

I think this would make a much better experience than asking for a password (that you don't echo, don't confirm, and annoyingly don't reset the terminal state afterwards).

I also think you should look at getting the sftp subsystem working as it is simpler and much more reliable than scp.

I hope you fix these things because I'd like to try it again.

> you could block ads with a firewall, by running your own DNS, or through the HOSTS file.

Yes, you could, but I doubt that the number of people who have both the knowledge and the motivation to do so, instead of just loading a browser extension, is significant. In any case, my point was that just trying to lock down the browser (let alone trying to lock down firewalls, DNS, etc.) is a nonstarter for companies who want to force people to see their ads; the users' reaction will just be to go to another site.
Trying to answer this I found this old thread:

http://marc.info/?t=125341144400003&r=1&w=2

Arguments I see here:

* it's old code and not maintained.

* the interface has inherent race conditions (see Theo's comment about reading from procfs one byte at a time with sleep calls in between - I presume with the values changing underneath you)

Unrelated to this thread I found googling that OpenBSD and NetBSD have had a small but nonzero number of security issues in procfs over the years.
There are quite a few low end laptops available in India without any pre-installed OS. Most people who buy these end up using some pirated copy of windows which is either left unpatched and vulnerable or it comes with some form of malware already installed. It hasn't been great for security or privacy sadly. No one I know uses linux on them or forks out any money for a Windows license which they deem to be too costly.

NPM included their terms of service into the open source Artistic licence without letting anyone know.

Every download of node 4, the 4 LTS and node 5 is affected and has this version of the license. So it seems you may have accepted the terms even if you only use the client. NPM wrote into terms you accept changes without notice so you don't really know what you have agreed to.

No one knows what this means legally yet. NPM's lawyer made a comment on this but it needs a lawyer that is not NPMs lawyer to provide an opinion.

NPM is also changing its terms and adding more restrictions on users. It also wants a free license to do whatever it needs to with your software. There are concerns from commercial developers including StrongLoop.

There would probably be more motorcycle deaths on that road than regular cars as well, as it's a popular spot for enthusiast riders. They have an accident counter sign on that exact road, that if I recall, said there were 200+ motorcycle accidents in the past 10 years (that's off the top of my head). That doesn't correlate with the data in the article either so it makes me wonder if it's correct.
A note: SIGHUP is far from obsolete in its original purpose. We may have stopped using modems but people still log in to Unix machines in ways that can get disconnected. If you SSH in to a machine and your SSH session is cut off by a network issue, your shell (and any command you have running) will get a SIGHUP.
I notice the very wide depth of field of a typical video camera much more than the frame rate, which does not bother me much. Even on a static scene I can tell a TV camera from a film camera by the lack of depth in the TV picture.
> The good doctor the title refers to is one that attends a cardiologist conference.

And this is supposed to be the "objective criteria" that, in your words, many people use as a proxy for "doctor whose actions benefit patients"? That makes no sense to me; I doubt most people even know what conferences, if any, their cardiologist (or any other doctor) goes to. Nor do I see the article claiming that "attending conferences" is an objective criterion that patients use.

Apostrophe in the email address – how to fix it
> "unnecessary overlapping functionality"

Luckily I didn't do much work with ad-supported publishing sites, but I still experienced some of that pain. It wasn't unusual for a marketer to ask for 6 or more tracking/analytics scripts (that all claim to do the same thing). The scripts were usually archaic and baroque, and unable to handle common web patterns like Post-Redirect-Get or AJAX without worakarounds.

They usually had lots of parameters so that you could specify exactly what data you wanted when an event happened... But for marketers who didn't really know what they were looking for, and therefore couldn't specify, the results were of course insufficient. So the natural solution was to add yet another 3rd-party script that promises to do magic.

Of course, when you're talking about a database-backed web application whose very nature is to store data and do queries for reports, most of these scripts are obviously more than a little redundant. If the specs for the site included what needed to be tracked and what reports were needed, then the 3rd party scripts wouldn't be needed at all (except for the ones that track you across multiple sites or inject supercookies). But it's quicker and easier just to try adding more 3rd party snake oil.

This really made me laugh. Levi paying Chinese workers to quite labor-intensively lower the quality of their jeans because American consumers prefer it that way. I really wonder what they must think of us.
Ah, interesting. I guess their theme didn't use any ajax features. But, to be safe I updated my gist to exclude that file.

Everyone knew it wasn't a bomb? Really? AFAIK he was asked what it was and he was uncooperative although we won't ever know since his family refused the public release of the police records.

Anyways, if we're going with hearsay then we should mention the boy's sister was suspended for making a bomb threat so I'd doubt the average teacher would just brush this off as "definitely not a bomb".

Now, seems like in your mind it would've been better for the school to send a SWAT team after him. I'm sure that wouldn't be seen as a negative thing by anyone.

I thought about this some, and I would probably agree with this statement. As an analogy, though it's possible to be a star through YouTube from anywhere in the country, to get the best gigs, you'll probably have to move to Los Angeles.

But, I couldn't help but think what Taleb would think about a person going great lengths just to have an "A+ career" and potentially fragile one with a single firm. If this person's career is currently B+, yet they have great control of their day to day lives and quality of it, it'd be foolish to try to fulfill this goal.

The difference is the missing newline character. If the hashes were not generated the same way the first time, maybe that's the problem?
I meant more that code can be pushed to the repository without it being reviewed first, not that nobody is looking at it. If someone does push something bad are there systems in place to blacklist a plugin and remotely remove it from an install (and possibly contact the install owners)?
And what reason is there to capitalize all those seemingly random words? It is quite annoying to the reader, they are not proper nouns and have no reason to be capitalized.

I was wondering why they did it... Now I think I'd prefer not knowing. Not only was it a terrible idea, apparently there was nobody to tell the programmer it's a terrible idea, and even QA (if they have it) didn't do their job.

Basically all the way from the idea to release, they had no person who knows what root certificates are.
You could make a similarly stupid argument against talkies or color film.

Yes, there is still room for low frame rate movies and black and white pictures, but there are plenty of special effects that audiences are missing because studios aren't willing to invest in high-frame rate pictures. And the reason they are afraid to invest is because they've been stuck on low frame rates while computer and TV have actually advanced and now they think their backwardness as a hallmark.

Imagine if TV had converted to color decades before cinema and then people claiming that colors would break the "other-worldly" look of "expressionist" cinema.
