Already patched. But if you could provide details (a link?) about how else one would create "specially crafted backend responses", I'd love to know more. How does an attacker make my nginx talk to their remote server (or trick my remote server into providing a specially crafted response)?

There's not a whole lot of commentary that I've found, but for instance, take these guys. "In order to exploit this vulnerability, the attacker has to be located on both sides of nginx (configured as proxy)." (http://vigilance.fr/vulnerability/nginx-memory-reading-via-c...) That about sums up my understanding as well. If that is not true, then I think the nature of the bug has been seriously misrepresented.
Adioso is great - I love the date/price graph you get across the top of each search. It was super helpful in finding flights for my holiday to the US (PER-LAX) in August, which I booked just last week. I know very little about startups, or even how this article relates to your current situation, but I hope you guys do well.

edit: Some features I would love:

-'I need baggage' and 'I'm paying with a credit card' checkboxes which would add the relevant fees to the fares. From an Australian standpoint, sometimes the difference between a Tiger fare and a Virgin one is far less significant once you add fees.

-A 'get me here by [X]AM/PM' option, or the ability to sort flights by time a-la Hipmunk so that if I'm looking for a connecting flight which is different to the recommended one, it's easier to find.
When I graduated college (with a non cs degree and no programming knowledge), I basically locked myself in my bedroom for 5 months with one mission: to learn rails and hone my frontend skills. I cut off almost all social interaction. I had 3 roommates and our paths crossed maybe once a day - usually when they were leaving for class in the morning and I was still up from the night before. I neglected 'normal' sleep cycles and followed my internal clock. Depending on how focused I was, I was often awake for days at a time. It was crazy, and it was the most productive period of my life. Ideas in my head were coming to life before my very eyes. I was building a powerful skillset that would allow me to control my future. And I did it without anything except my own drive and the internet.

So yes, you absolutely can code and learn on your own. Some people can't.
This is a beautifully designed site. I absolutely love the sliding signup/sign in sheets.
It's a bit abusive of the Harvard brand to throw the name in a post just so you can get some training data for model. At least include a writeup of what you're doing so people who click through get something out of it too.
Wow, these pictures are really cool! What is this experiment all about?
Here's the big question on my mind: why can I not go on Amazon right now and buy an Ubuntu laptop? There is one I have seen (and I have searched for a while), where someone is reselling used laptops with Ubuntu installed.

There are so many device makers out there trying to replicate the feel of a MacBook Pro with Windows. Seems like it would be easier with Ubuntu. The success of Apple sprang mostly from marketing and differentiation, it could happen to Ubuntu with a little motivation.
Crazy good blog post.

I live with Tom for a few months and I can say Tom is definitely passionate about Adioso and fighting for survival any way he can. To me, Fenn and Tom are two of the pioneers in the startup scene in Australia. I know that there were people in Australia doing startups before then, but for the current generation of new people doing startups they are an inspiration and the people we look up to.

When someone talks about YC in Australia, you can be sure that the name Adioso isn't too far off. I love using Adioso, even before I met Tom & Fenn. It such a cool idea and I still use it as my first point of call for looking for flights. If only they could keep adding more flights! I'm glad that they have gone back to open ended text search - that is what made them unique and easy to use.

As a user, you sometimes don't know where you want to go, BUT you want to go somewhere. You might know the origin destination and possibly the end destination, which makes Adioso great to use.

I also had an interview with an incubator in the US, and who do you turn to? The guys with the experience. So I asked Fenn for help which he was more than happy to assist with and he gave me some invaluable advice to prep me.

I'm sure these tough little cockroaches just won't die easily and they can figure it out.

If you are spending a lot of time fixing html/css issues in IE6, 7 or 8 it maybe due to over using floats and clears. Especially for elements inside a container block which are spread apart from each other like elements in a header block (<div id="header"></div> or <header></header> if HTML5).

For the header block where you have elements spread apart from each other the better solution is to add position: relative in the div id="header" and then absolute position the elements within the header (i.e. div id="logo" and on the ul for the navigation; float the li(s) though).

Using floats, margins and clears to position the MAJORITY of your elements will prove to be frustrating once you test in IE (6,7 & sometimes 8).

I kinda want 37signals to donate it to the Apache Foundation. More open source projects could use attention from visual designers, I kinda want Apache to have a non-Java-based project, and 37Signals could add another project to /opensource.

happy to help, but some instructional text on the screen besides 'machine learning experiment' would be nice.

actually, upon thinking about this more, i'm somewhat skeptical that the dataset you obtain from this will be useful..
This app does have a really great design, especially when a lot of open source apps are lacking in this department. I'm really impressed with Sacha's work, and have really enjoyed his "Step by Step UI Design" ebook, which details his design process for Kandan.

or if the order of images determine how much more likely it would be liked.

but yeah, abusive(???) in using a name with no explanation of relationship, no explanation of purpose after participation, etc.
then what'd be the point of having the harvard brand at all?

I don't think that's right - elsewhere in this thread is a quote from his testimony where he says it wasn't done for Google, so it wasn't a work for hire. Rules are different for works of corporate authorship and personal authorship. Most significantly, in the case of personal authorship, the author is allowed to take back their copyright if at least 35 years have elapsed since the grant of copyright to another party.

well said, felt exactly the same about running. It is not as exciting as football(soccer I mean), or badminton, or any other ball game. But somehow, there is something about it that keep you coming back for more. Having say that, I have not run anything more than 5k for months now. Should pick it up again.

Thanks for that feedback. After our initial Clutch.io launch, we got tons of feedback about our pricing. We've since made every plan more affordable for everyone, and we'll continue to listen to feedback about our pricing, making changes where they're needed. If you have some any more feedback (or if you have an app that falls in that category) I'd love to talk more in depth, please e-mail us at founders@clutch.io.

Online Traffic Analytics
Well, adding support for Retina displays is definitely an iOS-specific thing (at least right now).

But orientation changes? Is that not a general "mobile issue" for you? Or is (are) the WebKit build(s) in iOS doing something specifically bad compared to (say) Android?

Thanks for your help! I hope to find some interesting data, it is an experiment. We'll see what the results yield.
Pretty solid effort. I'm sure it will become even more useful as more people use it.
> the district has voted Republican since pretty much the dawn of the modern Republican party.

What definition of "modern Republican Party" are we using?

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texass_21st_congressional_distr... , that district, which was created in 1935, didn't elect a Republican until 1979.

Much of the south is that way - it didn't elect republicans until the mid-70s.

I already wrote about this[1] but the time period where I learned the fastest and the most programming knowledge was the winter of 2008 when my cofounder and I worked out of the computer science building, and various other buildings on campus. Having someone who could help me get unstuck made a huge difference. Same story even farther back when I was working with new frameworks for a different company; a more experienced person who was giving me feedback on my code was more help than I could have ever received on Freenode, Stack Exchange or from reading a book.

It's a lot like setting a new years resolution: it requires willpower and discipline to learn something difficult like programming (everyone has their own opinion on whether it's easy to learn or not, but I think it's easy to lose sight of all the advantages you had growing up with computers and incrementally learning vs. complete beginners). You need others to hold you to it and help you whenever you get stuck.

Hello!

1. Los Angeles, CA. I didn't think snail mail was necessary, but I guess we could throw it on there.

2. We're basically analyzing students. Our content is aligned to the common core standards, so we can figure out what standards students are weak in. These are very, very simple analytics that we're providing right now (that teachers can action upon).

Later on we plan to do more adaptive learning type stuff.

I'm going to read the IRT link, haven't seen that yet.

Thanks!
I don't really understand why this is newsworthy. If I made a website that had almost exclusively IE usage and chose to only support IE, would that be a feature? No, it'd just be an appropriate use of my development resources.
Herxheimer reactions and Autism Treatment

> No, it leaves him with profit of 50% of the gain.

We're talking about a gain that he donated.... You want him to pay taxes on that gain, to forgo the deduction for the donation. That leaves him in the hole.

> In CA, it is about 50% of the gain.

Not if it was long-term capital gains. CA gets 10% and the feds get 15% of the remainder.

> Because shareholders do not employ executives to make acquisitions of terrible companies simply for their personal profit.

Cisco's board apparently disagrees.
Flash News of the Week—Adobe Creative Suite 6 is Ready to Release
No one is saying that designing a language is uncreative. The distinction is not between creative and non-creative.

The question is between purely creative and functional. Functional things are usually not covered by copyright while creative things are. Things which are both need to be considered more carefully.

A computer language would never be copyrightable anyway because it is not a fixed expression. It's a set of rules for expressing things and that is never covered.

And APIs have never been covered because they're purely functional, regardless of the level of creativity involved.

It's good that Nevada is facilitating this, I'm expecting that industry lobby groups that will be affected by this (truck drivers, taxis, car companies without this technology, insurance companies perhaps) will throw everything they have at shutting this down so it's good to see that at least local governments are open to the idea. It means that it stays in the USA rather than Google launching it in a country more open to the idea.
Very interesting the part about the "How much do you heart me?" campaign. This was very well designed, leveraged their core product well, got lots of positive feedback and got a significant amount of attention. Yet in terms of driving sales it completely failed.

This may have been a case of reaching the wrong audience, lots of people in the startup scene and lots of travel related people but nowhere near enough people actually looking to take valentines day trips.

I think as in many startups there has been some aversion to pushing the sales stuff. We hear so much about nailing the user experience and not making out products low quality and spammy. As many other articles have also said though build something awesome and people will come may work for some but isn't the reality to everyone, especially in the crowded travel niche.
I'm confused why you believe you need hardware for testing? iOS simulator should be plenty sufficient in any standard dev environment...

Just wait until we get to the PRINT act: specifically this act will make illegal the Printing of Restricted Intellectual Non-redistributable Technologies.

You think it's illegal to scan edit and print just money? Wait till they make it illegal to print firearm parts.

I already have all the AR-15 parts in STL format.

It's not far until the fucking morons in politics whom have no idea of how information works decide 3D printing is in support for terrorism.

How long then until they realize that only intelligence can be outlawed to thwart this imaginary foe.

Oh, wait, the war on education has been in full effect for decades for this very reason. What is the best weapon against education? Poverty.

Keep them poor, keep them stupid.

And he next level of that weapon? When they start acting up, kill th economy to make the educated poor!

What do you think the 2008 crash was about? "the people have caught on to our lies! Quick! Kill he economy, make them worry about putting food on the table - that will shut them up!!"
My honest first thought: hasn't Ubuntu's share of the Linux market been dropping since their introduction of the universally-reviled, highly unintuitive Unity UI? I tried out 12.04 a couple months ago, tried to use it for a few weeks, and very enthusiastically retreated back to CentOS.

Generally, I will never say something like this for any team, but in this case, I have to say it. Microsoft needs to fire their branding team.

First, Windows Live and now this. Make up your mind already. Think little bit more before you decide your branding so that you don't have to change it a year down the line.

Personally, I don't think there was anything wrong with 'Azure' brand. The way to build the brand would be to offer such a fantastic product that everyone associates 'Azure' with Microsoft's cloud offering [E.g. no one 'Searches' anymore, they 'Google' it]. Changing names around only creates confusion and nothing more.
Thanks for the book suggestion Kahfei - I'll look into it!

The UI on your home page is terrific! So well designed... did you do that in-house or contract it out?
I target a similar audience (freelancers). If anything, a feature would be supporting IE, especially when your app does a lot with CSS3 and bleeding edge HTML5 stuff.

And features need to be justified. Planscope (http://planscope.io) gets less than 2% of all traffic from IE (chart: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2205912/iestats.png), and for actual accounts there's only been one person with IE - and that was a client that one of my customers invited in. 5 minutes later, Chrome Frame was added and everyone was happy.

I've also recently built a social network for amateur gardeners. The average age was probably 50. Did I ensure IE was fully supported? You bet.
You're also a startengine.com company :)
In house! By me, so thanks! :)
Impressive how quickly you escalated from talking sense (although I'm not sure why building a gun should be any more or less legal than buying a gun) to conspiracy theory there.
I'm willing to bet that, at least in the infancy of the technology, there will be laws that require at least 1 capable driver in the vehicle at all times. This would still probably effect the industry greatly, as they could then hire almost anyone with a license, but 3.5 million jobs wouldn't just drop off the face of the country.
Well isn't this natural evolution in terms of productivity any race would experience? Lets take for example agriculture, dairy farming, and other animal farms. Compared to something like 300 years back, very few people now work on agriculture and associated tasks. Where did all those people go, they went on to do more productive work.

As there are better ways to harness energy and automate things people will move onto more and more productive work.

Finally we may reach a point where things like space colonies, settlements and other massive space exploration projects will make sense. Because we will have nothing else to do.
On the flip side, I tried (and failed) to learn to code several times before it finally stuck. It took me days just to get the programming environment set up! What finally or me over the hump was working with a partner when I went back to school.
Agreed, the headline is a huge leap from the source, which amounts to: We are simplifying the labels on your bill in the following ways...
If you rotate an iPad from portrait to landscape, for example, then the default behaviour in Safari is to show the same page layout as you had before, but scale it up to the new width. That's far from ideal if your site uses a responsive design that could adapt quite happily to use the extra width in a landscape orientation.

The idea that commandline expansions like $VAR, `backtick` and wild*cards are done by the shell, before the program is invoked, is not particularly esoteric is it?
Distributed Systems Design
Agreed, the title feels very "link baitish", the text of the email sent out says they're changing the names of the Azure services in the usage reports.

IMO this makes sense, if I'm receiving an Azure Usage Report I don't need to see a line item for "Azure CDN" when "CDN" covers it perfectly well.

There's nothing indicated anywhere that there is any change to the Azure brand at all.

No story here, move along.
>a fender bender blamed on a human driver

Just to be clear, it was a human driver operating the Google car. The car wasn't operating autonomously at all when the accident occurred, so 0 accidents so far.
Well, I'm not a military scholar but I'm pretty sure everybody who is disagrees with you here. The battle was entirely political, and armchair general troop movement stuff is completely beside the point.

Here's the fact: Nobody wanted us there. South vietnamese were informing on the US and killing our troops. You think having a few airstrikes being more effective would have made a difference for that? Like if we just killed enough of the bad guys, the rest of them would have given up?

That's not the way asymmetrical warfare works. Every guy you kill has brothers and cousins who want to avenge him. Losing the political battle is losing the war. That's why we won in Iraq (Al Qaeda in Iraq were flown-in nihilists who alienated the population), and that's why we're losing in Afghanistan (the Taliban are a local movement with a local base).

You're seriously saying that had we invaded North Vietnam and bombed more stuff, it would have been fine? Like we could cut the supply of an army that was living off the land? Looks like we would've just been occupying twice as much ground with the same number of troops, unless you're advocating killing every last man, woman and child in the country.

$FB Is a Buy, Analysts Say
This Demo Day was only open for startups looking for investment. There are other startups here with operational websites and revenue but who simply didn't bother with this.
I personally think a fair price is the highest price the market will pay for it. Over a year to sell a website seems the price might be an issue.
Sure, but why start by paying half a million dollars for a used codebase?
Put the largest one in front?
I'm not convinced we're better off for it, unfortunately. Read 'The Guns of August' sometime, it's very instructive on just how many people need to die before the generals start changing tactics.
