Verizon CEO Steps Down
That question is of course based on if we technically 'left' the last recession; I realize that by the supposed numbers we are out of the recession though it certainly doesn't feel that way.
I would say that hard times are certainly not over.
"Java Runtime needs to be installed manually, otherwise applications may behave inconsistently"

OS X asks you and automatically downloads it when an app requires java, this happened soon after my first boot up with lion

"Files stored in Library"

"Scrolling behavior opposite of expected"

These are not 'issues', this is by design.

"Rosetta support no longer included with Lion"

This was known way before wide release of Lion, no reason for Adobe to be unprepared for it.
You're mistaken. Unfunded liabilities are a net present value calculation that factors in a discount rate. They take inflation into account.

The HeadJS website says scripts will "run in order", you must have had a buggy version.

I have successfully used LABjs (labjs.com), it has more fine-grained control over parallel/serial loading and execution. For a single project. One of the goals was to parallelize script loading, but modern browsers already do that, they will load up to 4 js files in parallel and execute them in order. In the end the performance gain does not justify the added complexity.

I am not sure where your cynicism or contempt is coming from. There is not much to a deeper understanding of xor-swap. If one knows the xor truth table one knows why it works, and knowing the truth table is essentially an act of memorization. I hope they are exposed to digital logic way before 3rd year. On the other hand cases where this will not work in the current form, perhaps needs a somewhat deeper understanding of bit lay out. Say if one were to swap two unicode characters from void * pointers to them.
OP/Creator here

Entire project was created in a matter of hours so it's pretty basic for now. Not a fan of the "this is lame shitsux" mentality going around but I'll get used to it. All included modules will become much more sophisticated with time so please hold those comments off until I get more than 2 hours to put towards the project

If you have any detection/payload suggestions please comment in here and I will most likely add them. Keep in mind that this is all for the lulz

If you have anything you want to add, feel free to fork!

Clarks Shoes: Style redefined
According to a survey, human spend most of their time working in office; then why not to make that time relaxed and enjoyable. Clarks make excellent quality dress, work and office shoes that will protect, sooth and accompany you well during your work. One thing that makes Clarks’ collection really special is the variety in designs and styles.

Android vs. iOS: The Heated Battle Over Mobile Advertising [Infographic]
Right, the headline is a little dramatic.

I think the ECB was extremely careful in the crafting of this deal to do everything possible to NOT trigger a technical default. A default is a delay or missing any coupon (interest) payments or failing to pay back a bond upon it's redemption date.

The reason why it is so important that Greece not default is that a huge amount of hedge funds and other speculative investors have purchased CDS guaranteeing Greek bonds will not default. Because the CDS market is completely unregulated, we don't know how many billions or hundreds of billions in bets have been placed on a Greek default. In fact, even people that don't even own Greek bonds could purchase a CDS guaranteeing a payout if Greece defaults.

In other words, if Greece does legally default by delaying any coupon payments or failing to pay any creditors, the ripples caused by all of the highly leveraged CDS could create another Lehman like scenario where large US and foreign banks don't have the capital reserves to cover all of the bets.

The real crime in all of this is that the CDS market is still completely unregulated and the hedge funds are legally allowed to bet on this. The real world equivalent would be that you're allowed to take out a fire insurance policy on your neighbors house, and then proceed to smoke cigarettes and flick the lit butts at his house, hoping to spark a flame. The hedge funds do this every day by taking out CDS and then proceeding to short Greek bonds. If they can panic enough investors into running for the exits, they can trigger a default and become rich.

Apple long ago told developers to move away from Carbon and move over to Cocoa. Adobe, as usual, just ignored the directive.

The tech/work behind Avatar is far more expensive then Toy Story. There are plenty of poor quality animation that pop up in films by major studios. And there are a number of quality cg animation by students for example http://vimeo.com/1470875
Avatar is really an edge case, majority of the shows on Hulu don't cost that much. For example: http://philipbloom.net/2010/04/10/house-season-finale-shot-e...

The finale of a popular show was shot using the Canon 5Dmkii. A camera many amateurs are using to capture their content.
There are some stories that are best told with the big tech and budget of major studios, but like I mentioned, in most cases, the cost of promotion and over paying for hyped talent is keeping everything they do very expensive.

From the info box on this story in the print edition of the WSJ article this morning:

---

Q:There has been concern about a "credit event" that could trigger payouts on credit default swaps, a type of insurance against default. Will this happen?

A: Probably not. The deal for private-sector contributions is voluntary. If a deal doesn't bind all bondholders, it's unlikely to be considered a credit event.

Q:What use is default insurance if there's a default and no payouts?

A: Good question. It may lead to some soul-searching in the CDS market.

---

So the financial instruments designed to insure against default are being bypassed by deliberately circuitous arrangements and language, to the point that people are wondering what they are even for anymore? That sure seems like strong evidence in favor of the OP's position.

Are you talking about this email? http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=111314792424707

I'm not entirely sure he would disagree with with what he said here. He seems to be trying to convince people to come at the problem of content management from a different perspective, and to abandon the intellectual baggage of CVS, rather than to insinuate that they should replace EXT* with git, or that they should develop an actual FS.

If what you say is true, it seems more likely that people misunderstood the original statement and carried that into the future, where the Go people seemed very serious about it being a systems language.

Hello. Single founder here. Developing web-based interactive timeline software. We've just launched a major new way of viewing timelines, and would love some feedback. We've also redesigned our home page: http://www.tiki-toki.com (it was previously just a full-page timeline).
Thanks for writing this summary :) It was a real pleasure to see so many people (+ not French-speaking).

As discussed yesterday, next time we'll probably use badges to spark discussions and we'll find more time for recruiting sessions and MVP demos :)

BTW, we're looking for sponsors. hint hint

> Are there many developed countries where father, son and grand-son, or uncle and nephew ALL become PMs in the past 30 years?

Not in 30 yrs (more like 60), but India. J. Nehru, followed by his daughter Indira Gandhi, followed by her son, Rajiv Gandhi.

There's even a reasonably good chance that his son, Rahul Gandhi might become a PM in the future, maybe the next one. Ironically, in his case, given the alternatives, many people actually consider this a good thing.

But overall, I agree, such PM dynasties aren't a good thing.
Surreal Photo-Manipulation
How to Build a Model to Explain Variations in Daily Revenue
Maybe it's time people stopped thinking of "geeks" as a homogenous, broadly categorizable group of people. IMO, that worldview is as much a part of the problem as anything else.

I wouldn't assume a random set of 10 doctors are all going to have the same personalities, the same motivators, and the same quirks. I wouldn't assume 10 randomly grouped MBAs are identical, either. Perhaps non-technical managers would do well to stop thinking of all technical employees as interchangeable. That's the first step toward being a better manager -- be it of engineers, of marketers, of financial analysts, or of sales staff.

A lot of the principles on this list are great, but honestly, the list could just as easily be rebadged as "How to Manage People." And perhaps that's what makes it a good list.
Ask HN: living on savings while working on startup?
I'm contemplating quitting my full-time job to dedicate myself completely to a project that I've been working on part-time for half a year. We have no seed money yet and no prospective customers, but I feel that having me on board 24/7 rather than 3-4 hours a day + weekends would speed up our progress immensely and help us have something working to show to potential investors and customers much sooner.

Who here has dropped out and made no income whatsoever for some time while working on their project? Have you regretted it? Anything one should know before going through with it?

Thanks!

A practical introduction to MochiWeb
Nobody can take Hulu international unless they acquire the respective licensing rights for that country.

To explain, content creators figured out a long time ago they got more money by selling rights to content as specifically as possible. This is by region and format. So United States is separate from Canada. And the DVD distribution rights are separate from theatrical distribution rights which are separate from the online streaming rights.

This is how Netflix was able to offer online streaming so cheaply. It could secure the online streaming rights to shows for pennies on the dollar because nobody else was even trying to buy them. Everyone was bidding up TV rights, DVD rights, and theatrical rights.

So going international has nothing to do with what advertisers want. It has everything to do with paying content holders separate license fees for every single country on earth for every show in Hulu's catalog.

That's a monumental effort without even mentioning each country's broadcast laws which can be byzantine to say the least.
Not to belabor the point, since other people have assessed this library quite well, but:

1. Detecting XSS by looking for '<', '>', '(', or ')' in the URL is a very naive approach. It can be bypassed fairly easily and many XSS vectors could have payloads constructed that bypass this filter. Also, you're likely to get some false positives for a certain subset of applications, since parenthesis have legitimate uses.

2. I'm not sure on what basis the first part of the CSRF protection is valid or what it's trying to protect. Is it looking for an Accept header for application/json?

3. The second part of the CSRF protection, which looks at the referer header, seems buggy and easy to bypass. What is it trying to accomplish? Right now, it seems like it blocks POST requests where the referer is set and contains the server's hostname (which valid requests will have).

4. Detecting CSRF by looking for non-GET/POST methods is a bad idea unless your application specifically constrains itself to those two methods. Many modern applications are using PUT and DELETE internally for routing purposes.

5. Detecting LFI in the URL by looking for ../ is, again, naive (although less likely to lead to false positives than the XSS testing).

6. The most "objectionable" part here seems to be the "fight back" options. There are definitely some legitimate concerns about an attacker being able to get a targeted user banned from a site (after all, you can't distinguish between a failed CSRF that an attacker is sending and a failed CSRF that an attacker tried to convince a target to send). For the most part though, I don't think they're a big deal for a small, independent site that opts-in to them: they sound a lot like the Miserable Users mod for VB (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=93258)

That being said, no system that operates like a WAF is going to be perfect. The idea of a mod_security-like system for node.js is very cool though. I just think the way you tried to launch it here, with no indication on GitHub or otherwise that it's not a finished product, has led to some backlash. :-)
be careful with anything that "attacks back", the legality of that is still being phrased.

yes, i know that it doesn't "really" "attack back" but when you phrase it that way you're going to raise some hackles.

Isn't it obvious that if you are at an event, say, a birthday party, you'd want to see what photographs your friends are taking as they take them? What about at a sports game or concert[...]?

For most people, at least, it's not, because why would you be looking at your phone rather than the event that's actually going on, at full scale, around you?

It would perhaps be good to see the photos others took of the event afterwards, when reminiscing.
Stop hating Java
Useful yes (I work with a lot of temporal visualizations) and I would use it but...

Free Version is limited to 1 timeline. You're not going to generate enough engagement/ commitment off of your freemium model especially since it's just a point solution (only one novel type of visual narrative). No one will feel like they need it or are comfortable with it enough to purchase.

My suggestion. Increase freemium to three timelines.
1.Give people a chance to do cool things with it and experiment..
2. Because the temporal aspect is only a part of a story, I would suggest working on product integration (Powerpoint or one of its alternatives, Prezi etc.)
3. Or an alternative strategy would be to get a few types of clean slick visualations. I could see people paying for a package.
Duckspeak Vs Smalltalk: The Decline of the Xerox Philosophy at Apple
The semis they acquired were fabless, meaning, they had no factories but relied on the likes of TSMC.
[…] I find particularly distasteful […] the practice of putting the names of people who had nothing to do with the publication on papers.

I heard an argument that I find difficult to take down: even though you may write a paper alone, the research it is based on probably wasn't done alone. Even if you did your research alone, it likely stands on the research done by your lab mates. Even if it doesn't, you don't really work alone. You talk to people, most notably your advisor, or your research director (depending on your position). Whether you know it or not, those conversations gives your insights that shouldn't go un-thanked.

The bottom line is, it's a team, and the signature should reflect that (non-)reality.
I must say that much as I enjoyed the Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem, Lebesgue integration, and the other things I learned in my advanced calculus classes, they haven't proved directly useful for my work. I'm surprised your university even requires it of computer engineering students since advanced calc is usually a math-students-only upper-level course. Are you really doing that sort of advanced calculus, or is it more that you don't know enough calculus to know what "advanced calculus" means?

The techniques of the intro to intermediate calc classes are more relevant. That would be up to about Stoke's theorem and partial differentiation, and some differential equations and numerical analysis to round out the calculus. Statistics, topology and algebras (like matrix algebra) are different fields and have different impact on software development, which I won't get into here.

I don't have much experience with real-time computing, but if you're doing any sort of real-time machine control then you're dealing with physical systems, where differential equations and questions of numerical accuracy come into play. You need to know how your model works mathematically, how that model is implemented in hardware, and the types of error propagation which come from both. You'll need to know about feedback loops, and get some feel for how to understand their stability or instability.

That analysis is best done with the techniques of calculus. For example, how do you understand a PID controller without knowing calculus?

Now, you can argue that you know what type of field you want to get into and you know that you'll never need calculus for it. But then you're really asking about the differences between US-style university, which stresses a broad base of knowledge, vs. a trade school which emphasizes the study of techniques relevant to a job.
>They are in the public domain in a printed copy. You can copy from them, reprint them, make books of them and charge for it. You can scan them and put them online, the whole millions of them. Yet that does take work and who should pay for this work?

Whoever wants to. But doing so does not give you copyright over the content.

>I do not understand one simle thing. JSTOR is not for profit. Are people therefore saying that it is making a profit? If yes, the action is understandable, but if not, as much as I am and was anoyed to face a JSTOR paywall and as much as there is an argument to make such paywall means tested, what are people actually saying? That this non profit organisation should not be able to existantially support itself?

$19 per copy is extremely expensive, considering their expenses after the document is scanned are close to 0 (and as we can see, hundreds of people are willing to do it for free).
