Asserting that pixel editing is "fundamental aspect of an operating environment" is not just flimsy, it's highly subjective at best and entirely without substance.

Nothing stops a single-payer plan at the legislature from including the submission to voters of a ballot measure clearing funding allocation barriers away. Proposals that exempt something from those barriers are not uncommon.

Single payer in California is actually blocked by the absence of an actual concrete proposal (covering, among many other things, a funding mechanism) rather than merely a vague descriptive goal.

Seen this from quite a ways back. When .NET came out, I remember college students in my neighborhood (e.g. when hanging out at some tea shop or restaurant), asking me (they knew me, and that I was in software), in a concerned tone, stuff like:

"We hear that now that .NET has come, Java will be dead. Is that right?"

I used to have to disabuse them of such nonsensical notions. Not that Java will live forever, but obviously a mature and widely adopted technology is not going to die off overnight. Such is the hype, though, for the new and shiny.

I'm not sure how PAKE works, but how would an AP block you? MAC address are forgeable. And any nonce an AP sends down as a one-time salt would be visible to you and you could still just brute force it offline.

I think that at the end of the day, no matter what key stretching techniques you use. A bad starting key results in a bad end key.

I agree, I do, which is why I tried making my statement as much a question as possible. I am unaware that attorney's would fight for cases like this, if they are more common and do not lead to lawsuits.
Agree with this view. Only the state can force that type of cooperation. MN did a variation of this in the early 70's to stop Twin Cities municipalities from competing against each other with tax breaks in order to attract companies. The result has been the only metro region that works together for the benefit of the region, not individual towns.

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/03/the-mir...

"No other large American city has adopted a plan like Minneapolis’s to sprinkle business taxes across a region in order to keep the poorest areas from falling too far behind."

"In the 1960s, local districts and towns in the Twin Cities region offered competing tax breaks to lure in new businesses, diminishing their revenues and depleting their social services in an effort to steal jobs from elsewhere within the area. In 1971, the region came up with an ingenious plan that would help halt this race to the bottom, and also address widening inequality. The Minnesota state legislature passed a law requiring all of the region’s local governments—in Minneapolis and St. Paul and throughout their ring of suburbs—to contribute almost half of the growth in their commercial tax revenues to a regional pool, from which the money would be distributed to tax-poor areas. Today, business taxes are used to enrich some of the region’s poorest communities.

Never before had such a plan—known as “fiscal equalization”—been tried at the metropolitan level. “In a typical U.S. metro, the disparities between the poor and rich areas are dramatic, because well-off suburbs don’t share the wealth they build,” says Bruce Katz, the director of the Metropolitan Policy Program at the Brookings Institution. But for generations now, the Twin Cities’ downtown area, inner-ring neighborhoods, and tony suburbs have shared in the metro’s commercial success. By spreading the wealth to its poorest neighborhoods, the metro area provides more-equal services in low-income places, and keeps quality of life high just about everywhere."

The most dangerous part of XSS is what developers don't know is possible. There are lots of sinks and sources and the more features browsers support, the more surface area is exposed.

Lots of developers intuitively notice reflective XSS, but fewer notice persistent XSS and even fewer know about DOM-based XSS. Each of these has several, even dozens, of sinks and sources to check + be aware of.

I think your offerings would be vastly more valuable if you had a CSP policy generator that defaults to the strictest possible settings, allowing the user to opt out / loosen some rules. Perusing your docs, you only describe a small subset of what CSP is capable of. Your average user is short on time and will likely copy-paste your example policies as their first implementation iteration.

It's important to explain that every page on their domain should be protected by a CSP policy. Protecting just a subset of the domain means that there is still vulnerable surface area.

Iframe embeds. Injected forms. Injected IMG tags. Injected meta tags. Data URIs. SVG DOM events. LocalStorage. Cookie overflow attacks. Charset sniff attacks. Charset attacks against specific databases. IE CSS expressions. Image/HTML + JS Polyglots. etc.

A developer that isn't familiar with all of the possible attacks is likely to not make the CSP as restrictive as needed. I highly recommend if you are going to tackle XSS, try and aim to provide value for all XSS attacks, not just the easiest to defend against.

Also, you should provide resources to explain why XSS is dangerous, what is potentially at risk, how much companies pay for XSS on bug bounties, and resources for the developer to know how to craft a successful CSP policy. Without these, you aren't selling your value proposition.

The video player deciding what quality you want is a good thing. The user wants to watch a video live, as it goes. You don't want to be interuppted every 30 seconds with a "buffering" message, or wait 10 minutes at the start for it to entirely download.

Youtube-dl would probably work, because it will would download the high quality video as a file, and your ISP would make the download take longer than the video.

I still get a regular stream of traffic now, and there are tons of others making sounds for UI. So, hopefully it helped kickstart that market a little.

I'm in the process of creating a second set of sounds now to try and keep the interest alive.

I'm a big fan of intermittent fasting, but this article lacks any kind of proof on many of the cited benefits:

> Benefit #2. It helps with calorie restriction

No study cited that proves this. Only cites studies about the benefits of "proof" that caloric restriction helps longevity, but really is just a correlation.

> Benefit #3. It helps you lose weight and body fat

No study cited, follows up with "believe me, it worked on me".

Cites this study: "Alternate day calorie restriction improves clinical findings and reduces markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in overweight adults with moderate asthma."

That's incredibly specific and shouldn't be generalized to the general population.

>Benefit #5. It helps your cells clean and repair themselves

Cites studies made on rats/mice. Although that's a good indicator it might be mirrored in humans, it proves nothing.

> Benefit #7. It regenerates the immune system

Study was made on 3 day fasts, and not intermittent fasting.

It would nice if he pointed out those are potential benefits instead.
