Firefox already blocks off-domain POST requests, unless the 3rd party domain responds to an OPTIONS preflight request.

So, I'm talking only about forms sending and GET is ok sure.

Google's logout CSRF works because the logout link is a GET request. So, no, there is no quick fix.

sorry i started it.. i meant perceiving a word as one symbol vs a combination of letters. that will speed up and increase the amount of information we can take in, drastically.

considering we do use few thousand words max, to do 99% of our communication (sorry forgot where i read this article), learn those symbols, your eyes now can see much more at once, and brain can digest accordingly.

this is a serious upgrade folks, not just saying, i've been reading dotsies for a while now, i'm dead serious, this could become what my children will read and write with..
3 Reasons Why I’m Finished With Consulting.
Yes, but Techcrunch choosing to explicitly feature the women from YC, not the interesting ideas from YC, creates the effect -- that's what I'm referring to. Mind you, being in YC may minimise the impostor syndrome.
I really like this real-time results. This site particularly caught my attention because I spent a couple of years working at a company that basically has been doing this exact thing for nearly 10 years called www.insurancenoodle.com (business insurance instead of car insurance, though). I can't see what Leaky's path to earning revenue will be but there's already a simple, proven business model. It involves becoming a licensed agent so that you can actually write the policies on behalf of the carriers and you earn a commission.

At least as far as business insurance goes, the carriers are happy to have you sell their insurance products as long as you're licensed in the state you're selling and sign up with them as an agent. They rely on independent agents to sell their products, so it's really not a new or unusual business model. But if you're not working with the insurance companies then I have no idea how you would make money except I suppose advertising. It would be a wasted opportunity if Leaky is not trying to become licensed agents for these carriers.

I'm not sure how much things have changed but back in 2002 we were dealing with crazy archaic data feeds and screen scraping. The carriers didn't have any APIs and we spent a lot of our time tuning our scraping and parsing code.
I feel like closing my eyes when I need to do some intense mental math helps tremendously. Really neat.
I spent quite a bit of time on the first link, but I also quite like this one. I think to me a lot of the value is just gradually introducing a few characters at a time - not really sure about how much my brain is picking up the shapes of the letters subconsciously. Would be interesting to do an experiment.

I would actually prefer that the hints stayed for all the letters, even without a grey line or whatever. I used it very rarely (and have enough self-discipline not to overuse it) but once in a while when I've forgotten a letter, or are not sure, it's a pain to look it up because the hint has disappeared.

It would be fun to experiment with putting this font on my Kindle btw.

Fantastic news, we are now one step closer to Pirate Bot / Wireless Internet Broadcasting robot that can circumvent internet shutdowns.

As regulations clamp down on internet free speech and authorities give themselves the power to administer internet blackouts during protests. This is the best way to respond in order to re-balance power back to democracies and people.

Now we need to make it a bit bigger and start working on the rechargeable battery pack, solar panel, kinect 3d camera, gps, and long range wireless router (the longest range wireless router allowable by law is a 1 watt router with a 1,200 foot range called Bountiful Router) but I'm sure you can extend the range much further with an illegal hacked version, and use repeater units to send signals further.

Basically a rogue mars-rover for Earth that sends out pirate signals. The future is horrifyingly awesome.
I didn't feel the need to downvote you but I think the reason is pretty clear. You're making an unhelpful and not very clever joke, and then making up a future 'version' of the app for no discernible reason.
That's probably largely because the circuits in your brain have become finely honed on latin characters, after reading letters many millions of times for many years.

It's difficult to know how that image would appear to someone who was equally acclimated to both. At the moment no such person exists.

One clue might be how they compare to each other after you scoot your chair back from your computer until both have become blurry. When you get far enough away that you can't distinguish anything in the green paragraph, can you see any distinguishing characteristics in the red one? You won't be able to make them out, of course, but can you see that there are light and dark areas?

India's Only Internet Radio exclusively for Independent Artistes
We're coming up with our new project which is Called Radio Arcane. It is on its way to being India's Only Internet Radio which is exclusively for Independent Artistes. It is a platform for all kinds of Indie artistes from across the globe to unite and create a huge viewership and a more regular footfall. We intend to create a wider database of followers for a solo or a group of artistes, so they can look for a mode of income as well from whatever they post on our website. Our tagline is Making Indie Mainstream. I am looking for your comments, friends.
No it does not.

A simple cross-site request is one that:

- Only uses GET or POST. If POST is used to send data to the server, the Content-Type of the data sent to the server with the HTTP POST request is one of application/x-www-form-urlencoded, multipart/form-data, or text/plain.

- Does not set custom headers with the HTTP Request (such as X-Modified, etc.)

---

This is actually a big deal, since it means you can send a cross-domain mutlipart-POST with no preflight. That allows for an effective CSRF attack against file upload systems.

And of course, cross-domain POST requests via <form> tags have always worked and will continue to work.
It is fuckin' cool, I really liked that.
I was nodding my head to ajross's little armchair analysis but when you said you were French a little light bulb went off.

This is just hearsay and stray recollections of things I've read, but doesn't France, officially at least, have a very different approach to equality than the US? I believe that it is illegal in France to recognize racial or gender differences in official contexts, is that true? This might cause a French person to view such an article as in bad taste and as an impediment to equality.

In the US there is long history of affirmative action and other remedial measures and I think the current culture reflects that. When you have a group as underrepresented as women in tech are, then the tendency is to try to boost them by whatever means necessary. Being an American I tend to agree with this approach but I can see the opposite side.

I guess you could ask what is the effect of articles like these? Are they doing more good by encouraging people to view women in tech as an accepted fact or are they entrenching the status quo by calling it out as it if were something special? I think the former effect outweighs the latter.

Edit: the lightbulb went on, not off. ;)

The style of this article is all wrong. It takes a tremendously long time for the author to get to the point.

There is an irrelevant history lesson of an experience jumping through distros to start with. Then the main argument of the piece is unclear. It begins with (probably justified) moaning about device drivers, but is followed up with a declaration that Linux's problems are caused by recent UI changes. The author then laments that the update cycle is too fast.

Why hasn't someone told this person to stick to long term stable distros, such as RHEL or Ubuntu LTS?

I made a mesothelioma blog about 6 years ago @ blogspot, went on AIM and told everyone to click on it, and also it got clicked on alot from one HS's IP but they didn't disable my account. Got a few hundred from it enough to build a new gaming box.

So has anyone had similar success today? Btw fuck google, they are in cahoots with the man.
Does anyone have corroboration? I mean, Cringely has a history of overstating his claims, and this story is very thinly sourced. The only evidence that Cringely presents is the one Wall Street Journal article that is, by his own admission, inadequate to support his claims.

Further, he presents the existence of Form 14039 as further evidence of massive tax fraud without any indication that correlation in this case is due to causation. I mean, on the basis of this article alone, I have no reason to conclude that the IRS introduced this form for the purposes of addressing or covering up this fraud. In fact, a much more likely scenario is that identity theft is now so common, the IRS has formalized its procedures for dealing with it by creating a new tax form. Finally, I don't see any of the "draconian policy changes" that he's referring to on the horizon.

This entire article just strikes me as somehow... wrong. There are just too many conclusions being drawn off one piece of very weak evidence for me to give it any credence.

Sounds a bit like omniglot.com/writing/franklin.htm. Franklin scrapped c, j, q, w, x, and y.

The idea sounds reasonable to me. He gave up on it after a while though. I'm guessing the more differences you have, the bigger the barrier to adoption tends to be.

I really like this approach (even if I'm still not entirely convinced about the benefits of dotsies).

For a while, I've had this idea of a book that starts in standard English, and gradually alters the grammar and introduces new words - so that halfway-through it's written in somewhat of a pidgin/creole language, and by the end you're reading a completely different language (e.g. French or Japanese). I'm not aware of such a thing existing, or even being feasible for that matter, but I think it would be interesting.
Ordinarily, I'd agree with that criticism. But the preceding paragraphs talk about her modeling experience (which is valid because it's a fashion-related startup). So to me it seems fair to play off that.

How is this fair?

Why does it need to be fair? This isn't grade school... (For the record, I don't think this article is unfair but I don't see why that would matter.)

Doesn't it qualify as "sexism"?

No... How would this be sexism (discrimination based on gender)?

if you saw "men" instead of "women" you'd have totally different stories and the big S word: sexism.

Huh? There's no reason to highlight "The Men of YC". There's nothing remarkable about a bunch of guys trying to get tech startups off the ground. Women are typically underrepresented in this group, so this is noteworthy.

Plus, the ideas might be good for business but it's very very "girly".

Websites that cater to women are few and far between, women are typically willing to spend a lot of money on these types of sites, and it shouldn't be suprising that women develop businesses that they themselves would want to use. If you haven't noticed most startups tend to be a bunch of geeky guys developing geek-related crap that only geeks are really interested in. Same difference.

Also the journalist is a woman...

And? Isn't that appropriate? I'm sure the article would be fine if a male journalist wrote it but you shouldn't be suprised that a female journalist was hilighting sucessful women in tech.

Your weird interpretation of sexism is baffling.
I'm going to make a statistical assumption that you're a male. Consider the different reactions the original article (http://www.cultofmac.com/157641/this-creepy-app-isnt-just-st...) describes from the men and women who saw the app, and why that would be the case.

I found the comment from Jonathan Corbet of LWN (https://lwn.net/Articles/489689/) particularly telling: 'The article is a little muddled, complaining about the "we know best" attitude while saying that Linux lacks the integration seen in iOS or Android, but it's worth a look.'

That does seem like a common double standard that people hold Linux to: on the one hand people complain when it lacks coherent vision and whole-system thinking, and on the other hand people complain when it has coherent vision and whole-system thinking.
To anyone else who finds it hard to understand what this is measuring, it is supposedly [EDITED] the money that app-developers make per-active-user on in-app purchases (measuring some 'top applications' only). How it is determined is anybody's guess - even the original link [1] is quite opaque on the subject.

I'm not sure I can make the same leaps from this to statements like 'the decision to fork Android was a profitable lesson' (for Amazon) as the original links.

Please correct me if I have anything wrong here.

That's what I'm saying, you already do that. When you read a line of text your eyes move several words at a time, but your area of focus is only wide enough to really see a few letters at a time. You are recognizing some words wholesale, simply ignoring others and filling in with context.

The impression that you have seen the entire line of text is a clever illusion developed inside your brain. You very rarely pay attention to individual letters as graphemes symbolizing individual phonemes; you simply can't think that fast (and in fact, you probably do not have a very good conscious idea of which letters symbolize which sounds in reality).

Not to say that dotsies aren't neat, and they could have some benfit to reading speed, but really all they are is thinner. Reading is already a pretty amazing superpower that you have.

Now if you're serious about wanting your kids to read better than you, check out what I wrote about a phonetic alphabet above. That would be a serious improvement.
The Gnome 3 Meteor: Revisited
As you say in France we are taught not to see the differences. Indeed it is illegal to recognize any racial differences (gender differences are accepted in most scenarios ). You cannot be asked what is your ethnicity when you apply for a job. When I say to my american friends that I don't "see" color they don't believe me and they call it a racist thoughts. Months passing I realize that apparently very few people in the US want true equality, they want their own version with gender/ race specific advantages to fight the unfairness of history, which is very real.

As for the effects, I personally don't have the answer either, even if I try to draft possible outcomes (in another comment in this thread taking the finnish school example). From what I have read in the tech crunch article the encouragement had a weird effect in the Y Combinator selection: they may have managed to introduce "femininity" in tech but not "women". As somebody pointed out in another comment none of the women are technical founders...

But thanks for staying open minded, I believe that's how solutions are found: everybody listen to each other and a better understanding begin to take shape after a while, hopefully my indigenous perspective will help :).
the ideas might be good for business but it's very very "girly"

This is one thing that jumped out at me too at first blush, but thinking on it more, while it may be the case I don't know that it's actually objectionable. Some of the more "girly" opportunities are still untapped by the mostly-male founder base, and if women choose to tap them, isn't that just good business sense on their part?
The real reason Linux lags windows is application support. Windows 8 seems to have every intention of being a train wreck, but Linux will benefit little because users will not upgrade from Windows 7. Linux is not an alternative as long as users cannot run what they want on Linux.

I only see 4 ways for linux to actually gain on the desktop for the average user.
1) Truly painless cross-platform support for most languages.
2) A huge shift to web-based applications.
3) Microsoft seppukus.
4) Wine magically becomes painless and transparent.

Two is the only alternative that has a reasonable chance of happening.

The fact that these businesses are run by women is only tangentially relevant.

Shoptiques is a particularly interesting business. It creates value where none really existed before. Boutiques can't establish a real web presence, and mid market girls don't have access to NY/LA/London boutiques. This is an online business that creates value from thin air. Execution is the key, and the execs seem to be totally on track.

99 dresses is a potential home run but like all marketplace businesses it is tough. My favorite thing is that they are so low class. I love the idea that chicks are swapping dresses from F21.
