Infrastructure Architecture: Whitelisting with JSON and API Keys
I think you read the article wrong. Sony is stating that they detected a large number of sign in attempts, which many failed, but 93,000 succeeded. The attempts were made using the data (they assume) obtained from the prior hacks on the various Sony sites. This is not a new breach, but a follow through with the data from prior breaches, probably due to the affected users not updating their credentials from the prior hack.

On issue that JoachimSchipper points out [1] is that Sony probably isn't rate limiting, or throttling login attempts, which is a security issue, as it opens up the possibility of brute force attacks

Perfect Radiance
Perfect Radiance isn't the winner as long as I was overwhelmed with Perfect Radiance Review info. That was as slow as molasses in February. Your troubles will just melt away after this.
Get a job, any job, now. No matter how low, just get one. Flip burgers, whatever you can do and regain the most important thing that you seem to have lost, which is your self respect.

Higher paying jobs will come and at some point you'll be able to review this period from a position of strength and you'll appreciate what you learned more than you do now. Starting a consultancy business takes 3 years, you can't just stop work one day and expect to stay afloat. That's the only mistake that I think you made, 4 months is way too short.

The first year you lose money, the second you break even (but you're still below 0 because of the first year), the third year you might make some money closing the hole of the first year.

And get yourself some professional help, being suicidal is a really good reason to do so. Don't wait.
No, Facebook Is Not Ruining Your Grades [STUDY]
Yeah, the "bar raiser" is a concept that you will hear about when you interview there. Mine was the last guy after a very long day (sixth interviewer), who actually introduced himself to me as "the local bar raiser", and then got me up writing algorithms on a whiteboard for an hour. Like I said earlier, I can do that stuff but I'm no network guy.

> How many people do you think want to interview with Amazon again after going thru a 6 hour process like that?

Not me that’s for sure, and I thought it was very arrogant of them at the time to suggest that I go off and getting some network training on my own time and expense and apply again next year. Like I’ve nothing better to do.
FWIW, I've heard many times from people who play D&D (or the like) online that wave was absolutely perfect for them.
Add Bret Victor to the list of people to read about when you want to be depressed about your lot in life. This list includes Fabrice Bellard et al.

Bret is even more impressive since he combines hardware, software and UI skills.

Why depressive? As Neal Stephenson mentions upon Hiro meeting Raven in Snow Crash. If you are over age of 25, you realize that there are certain levels of excellence that you will never reach even if you move to that Shaolin monastery.

I think some people have this innate drive to excellence (how much of that is acquired and how much is inherited is another discussion) and apply themselves with full dedication. You can see Bret's teenage projects were already pretty impressive.

Ever since then Bret's toolbox of skills has only multiplied till you see the effect today.

I think the parent post is referring to the various Sony hacks that occurred earlier this year.
No, our country is notoriously lacking in entrepreneurship, make of that what you will.

We do still manage to have a pretty good economic output and some business success stories though, so there might be something to be said for working fewer hours.
I m afraid there are uncountable number of possible mistakes, on top of the ten you have stressed. And all those mistakes usually occur due to sticking to rigid rules rather than trying to be flexible at different stages of business lives, but some occur due tho being flexible rather than having rigid principles.

Here is a formula I think might work:

1) Discipline and personal activity: wake up and jog/exercise at the exact same time EVERY DAY. Nothing too exhaustive, just 15 to 20 minutes of consistent exercise. Don't miss a day.

2) Keep a journal of plus/delta: what was good and what needs to change during the day. Nothing extremely elaborate, start with a list of things you did during the day or the day before. Take this seriously. Do it in silence and reflect at a consistent time at night or early morning (after exercise).

3) Communications and group activity: join ONE group of interest (meetup perhaps), church, temple etc.

4) Family relationship building: talk to your mother and help your father. Take initiative, do the dishes, contribute to house chores. Don't be a dead beat... seriously, I've been and seen the type. Don't be lazy, help out around the house. You will see relationship improving. "No man is an island" learn to be a part of the family. Parents just want their kids to be decent, if they SEE improvements and efforts from you, they will respond back positively.

5) Read this book: http://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Psychology-Success-Carol-Dweck... If you don't have the money to buy it, give me your address and I WILL buy it for you. Learn the change your mindset into a growth mindset.

6) Go back to basic: NO complain, NO excuses, NO negativity and NO bull.

7) Remember. You are still very young, my friend. Life is long and there is a lot waiting for you. There are thousands of people out there who are willing to help you IF you ask for their help (like the HN community). And most importantly, there is no magic formula for a good life--you'll just have to work for it like everyone else.

My apologies if I made any unwarranted assumptions. I hope what I wrote could be something you might consider. Certain things work for me but they might not work for you. Still, if nothing is working, then try something else. Keep trying until something work for you. What I really want to impress upon you is this: CONSISTENCY and DISCIPLINE. Good luck.

(NOTE: please forgive my quick notes which might contain grammatical and spelling errors. I need to start my morning exercise as I am a bit late :P)

Yes I agree, probably the only difference is that they would make you come in on six different days for your six interviews, and maybe spread them over a few months, and then still tell you no over something apparently random. I refuse to interview there despite being approached by them twice, I've heard enough stories from my friends to put me off.
Well, it's Apple's next model since the Grip of Death problem, and no word if it's fixed.

Talking to my phone is nice, and so is a fast camera, but it's tragic that this beautiful sleek device has to be wrapped in an ugly rubber band for me to make a call!

[Edit] Well, this article says it's been fixed with two antennas. I really don't like how they downplay the problem and act like it only affects ham-fisted gorillas. When I have just two bars, griping the bare metal with four fingers is enough to make the signal too weak for communication.

As long as it's in an external JS file, sure. CSP simply prevents you from calling script inline. `<script>#('something').hide();</script>` wouldn't work: you'd have to move your JavaScript code into an external file.

For example, you could load the library from Google's CDN by whitelisting the origin via `script-src http://ajax.googleapis.com/` and pulling the script via `<script type='text/javascript' src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min....

If you look a bit more closely you'll see that is not just an article on a website but a wiki powered by mediawiki. As such it is not that suited to design customisation especially the type of design you are referring to.
That being said I would argue this sort of guide or reference is much more readable in a plain unembellished format. Content is king in this instance.

People building companies, not "startups"?
Hey guys,

Are there any recent examples in the consumer tech space that have, or are, building themselves up with the goal of being a profitable company and remaining majority owned by the founders?

I'd really like to start a company and pay my bills with it and eventually make good money, not get rich quick.
Dude, you suck! get yourself up, HURRY, and start being a man! You look like a kid, a dead one, walking. People like you are at everywere, you are not different from your friends and parents, just going for money and cool stuff. That´s why you are suffering. The best genius ever was Jesus, and guess what, he didn´t even have a house!
Also Norman Foster for Apple's new HQs.
I think your issues are greater than the fact you quit your job. In your previous post you sounded rather noncommittal on your entire career path (coding). What other careers have you explored?

If you don't think you're going to find happiness in your occupation, make sure you try and find a job that you can leave at work. Then find the happiness in your real life.

How to improve your customer service
CSP doesn't block you from using social networking widgets: it does insist, however, that you specify up front which widgets you'll be using, and to whitelist those domains. If you trust Facebook's JavaScript, for example, you can certainly include it on your site. You'll need to whitelist the appropriate domain for framing or scripting, that's all.
That's gone now.
Creating a package repository on Linux : Fedora and Debian
i just read the article that you linked to. personally you did the right thing by quitting. not for nothing, but you were a slave.

ya things haven't worked out so far, but so what, at least you're not putting in 60 hours a week. what good is money if you don't have the time to spend it. what good is life if all you do is work and never get to enjoy it.

from what i can get, you were a flash/C++ programmer at your previous job.

right now you're trying to find a job. piece of advice, you're really not going to find one (or at least a good one) looking in the paper and/or on job sites... you need to network.

my advice, join a user group for flash, there are many:

http://groups.adobe.com/

start hanging out in the flash message google groups and helping others:

http://groups.google.com/groups/search?hl=en&q=adobe+fla...

get on github and start doing some open source flash stuff and participating in the community:

https://github.com/languages/ActionScript

what i'm trying to tell you is this: a lot of programmers that i know live in a bubble and all they do is program and keep to themselves. the secret in life in getting ahead, being happy and sharpening your skills is to network with others. ever heard the expression, "it's who you know", well it's true.

right now you're so depressed that you forgot this basic life lesson. you need to get out if the rut and jump in head first back into life. you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. not only will networking help with you professional life, it will also help you in your personally life.

i'll tell you this. one of my best friends was in the same situation that you're in, having a hard time finding a job. we both work in an obscure language that most people would laugh at (ColdFusion). for a while now i've been telling him to start doing exactly what i'm telling you do. since taking my advice and finally getting involved he's finally finding quite a bit of free lance work and even has found and applied to a permanent ColdFusion position. opportunities are out there my friend, there not going to present themselves unless you go looking for them.

TLDR: start networking in the flash/c++ communities.

Start a couple of sites of your own, you'll find out there's more to learn than just programming languages.
I did quit my full-time job.

So did I. Many times. About half the time it worked out great. The other half, it sucked, just like yours does now. You are not alone.

I'm constantly broke, on the verge of poverty...

Then get a job, any job. It doesn't have to be programming. It'll get you out of the house, get you with other people, and put a few bucks in your pocket. If you love programming enough, you'll find time to keep it going on the side.

I'm deeply depressed and contemplating suicide

Don't. Contact me anytime (see my profile). When things are going well, they're never as good as they seem. When they are going poorly, they're never as bad as they seem.

I have to constantly hear my father shout what an idiot I am for quitting a high-paying job

Fathers are sometimes wrong. Yours is now. Don't listen to him.

My friends make fun of me for making a retarded life decision.

When things get tough, you find out who you're friends really are. I know it's not much consolation, but you just did. Be glad you saved a lot of time and energy. Anyone who makes fun of you was never your friend, just an acquaintence.

I can't really do anything else, since apparently finding a new job, is kind of hard and I have to go through the whole step where I admit my failure and start over and I don't even know what I want anymore.

Don't ever say "can't" because it's not true. You can. Just find any job and go from there. First you crawl, then you walk, then you run. Many of us have already been there. You can do it too.

I thought I would become free, but I've actually become less free as a result of it.

So far. What you don't see now since you are in the midst of this is that this was just one backward (or sideways) step in a long journey forward. I don't know anyone who is successful that had only forward steps. We have all had these backward steps. It sounds like this may have been your first big one. That might be why it hurts so much.

I'm 20, I have no college diploma, no high school diploma, ...

None of that matters. All that really matters is what's inside your head and your heart. Once you decide to start taking positive steps, you'll see.

I'm an idiot, essentially.

Please don't ever say that. You're not, and I have proof: If you were really an idiot, then you wouldn't have posted this here.

It just didn't work out and it feels very painful.

Thanks for the warning. You may have just saved a lot of people a lot of pain with this post.

And thanks for your story. I have been there (several times) as I imagine many others here have as well. It gets better. I promise. But you have to stop feeling miserable and take a positive step. Posting here was your first step. Talking to some of us off-line may be another. And getting out of the house and finding a job, any job, is probably your next best step.

Please give it a shot a keep us posted. We're not going anywhere and we care. Really.
I've looked at the European statistics a while ago, and the average working hours are pretty much the same wherever you go, regardless of what's the maximum per week, how many vacation days you get and how many holidays the country has…

How to Prevent a SQL Injection Attack
A SQL injection is a common programming error the consequences of which can be really devastating. Many successful hacking attacks start when a hacker discovers a vulnerability that gives an opportunity to inject SQL code.
No you're right! The idea is to implement Dart VM's all major browsers. It is claimed that due to the design of the language, these implementations will be a lot faster than JavaScript.

But as no Dart implementations exist yet, people are studying the generated JavaScript code. Also, certain browsers (IE?) will never get a Dart VM and will thus need to rely on this JavaScript.

Why does being an iOS developer give your insight into the Android platform credibility?
"If a company relies on providing a service to millions of customers from a single data centre, with no separate back-up site with its own individually tested architecture, it could face difficult questions."

This is key if you ask me. Making Blackberry reliant on a backend system for any internet usage (Browser, BBM, etc.) without a fallback isn't smart. Letting the service/system then be offline for serveral days...

I'm guessing one of the problems now is that everyone BlackBerry is retrying often, and when it does come online there'll be a huge backlog to handle, meaning more capacity is needed all round.
Things don't always work out. If it's the first time in your life that things didn't work out, just brush yourself off and try again.

Everyone fails sometimes. It's about getting back at it that counts. You're only 20 and you've already tried something most never attempt. Who cares if you failed. Who cares if you're living with your parents. Who cares what your friends say. As long as you learn from what's happened, it was worthwhile.

You can always find another job. Sure, maybe not one as good as the last, but you can find something. And you can always try again in terms of starting your own business. So, don't worry. You'll be okay. It's all about attitude and perseverance.

You just need to take a step back and assess what happened, why it happened, and what you can do to go from here. You're just 20 years old. You have your whole life ahead of you!

Good luck!
My android phone has been begging me to talk to her for more than a year, but i refuse. It's still deep in the uncanny valley for me. You mentioned yourself that it might be useful in the car, where you are alone and nobody can hear you. Speech is disemmination, not simple message passing. It's literally shouting, when you really should only be whispering. If it was handwriting-recognition or some magical mind-reading or gesture-reading device i 'd use it.

No kidding! I have enough of a time on my own projects. I don't particularly care about adjusting gamma on my TV or constantly f'ing with the microwave to get it to warm up pizza. Although I enjoy hacking, sometimes I just want stuff to work. I'd rather tinker with something that's going to make my products better rather than spending hours trying to get a phone to do something. I spend enough hours getting molested by Heroku and performing anal exams on obscure Gems and a/b testing and blah, blah, blah. If I wanted to waste my time on a phone, I would have bought Android.
I concur, I interviewed with them back in April this year 1hr tech call then 8 hours non stop interviews 9am-5pm (each with at least 2, sometimes 4+ people) Even lunch break was an interview! I didn't get an offer it in the end, their reason - not enough Java/J2EE - And not once on my cv/resume had I mentioned I had experience in that?!

And yes, one guy came in and introduced himself as the 'bar-raiser' sat back in his chair and expected me to be somewhat impressed by this.

Apparently Sony doesn't really rate-limit logins (say, per IP), leaving their customers open to password bruteforce attempts

I'd love to know from someone in the business whether bruteforce attempts like this typically come from a single IP, multiple IPs or a unique IP per account break-in attempt. If it's anything but the latter, one would really hope a company as high-profile and as targeted as Sony would be checking more thoroughly for this kind of stuff.
