Ask.fm malicious javascript (also contains Facebook and Twitter)
hi,

I just opened source code of ask.fm last night and saw so many malicious javascript codes are there.

here is the screenshot of ask.fm source code right now : http://i.imgur.com/MdzV7.png

here is the pastebin of ask.fm source code right now : http://pastebin.com/a2zv2SnR

and I investigated the sitution little bit more and realized it happens only(maybe other countries too, idk) when you enter the page from Turkey, because there wasn't any javascript code when I tried with "anonymouse.org" and javascript file names are Turkish.

It's so weird and dangerous. My scenario is one of translator guys wrote this lines to there, maybe.

If there is somebody from ask.fm, facebook or twitter :

hey ask.fm guy : your website containing malicious javascript code, take care about it and be careful next time!

hey facebook guy : In javascript files there are page id's and profile id's which are fake, take care about it!

hey twitter guy : In javascript files there are twitter account id's which are fakely followed by people, take care about it!
The debate should be about who's most wrong.

Slight tangent:

> the house cat who plays with the bird before killing it without eating it

Small birds have sharp beaks and claws. Mice have sharp teeth and claws.

Cats have a hunting instinct. Wild cats survive by hunting. To hunt and eat prey a cat needs working jaws.

The sharp teeth / beak / claws of prey only needs to puncture the skin of a cat's jaw once to cause infection which would leave that cat at serious risk of death, if not from infection then from lack of food because of reduced hunting.

"Playing" with the prey is a good way to weaken the prey before the killing bite is inflicted.

It's both. Gittip is 'laundering' the money, so that it's clean on the other side. It's not the greatest money laundering scheme as the launderer is unwitting, and therefore can 'flip' exposing the source of the ill-gotten gains.

Exactly. I've done some lab work on reading muscle activity signals trough the skin, and the signals from the test subjects were very individual.

The mass produced prostethic limbs with control systems are mostly mechanical and slow, e.g. the users are using the remaning stump of their limb to push buttons on the inside of the casing.

To use neural networks or some other kind of machine learning to map the muscle signals to the wanted movement for the prosthesis would be a really interesting problem to work on.
Makes me think that it's probably some blackhat with a few stolen credit cards, looking for a way to extract some value out of them (other than using them to pay for hosting). This isn't necessarily a large-scale operation.
perhaps this should be "Don't re-elect SOPA supporters on Tuesday, but make sure you vote for an alternative."
IBM and the Designers of the POWER6 cores went all the way up to 6 GHz and had them operational. The current POWER7 chips can go up to 4.25 Ghz and they have something like 32 Threads per chip

The T2 processors from Sun had over 100 threads per chip. Its a shame that they didn't do better in the market place.
Wow, that is the shadiest backchannel reference methodology that I've ever heard. If I was the candidate and I heard that story, I'd reject the job without delay. Manipulating people I respect is an astonishingly poor way to establish a relationship.

I can't believe the CEO thought this was a good idea.

Well, sadly I can. There are a lot of firms that succeed in spite of their management, not because of them.
How To Make Sure Power in Manhattan Never Goes Out Again
I'd like to reference an argument presented here before when this same issue came up.

Japanese harvest ships slaughter thousands of dolphins each year, in a certain bay. Some escape. Next year, more olphins return to the bay and are caught, seemingly by surprise?

SO either, the escaped dolphins did not communicate the danger, were unable to communicate, or just didn't care what happened to other dolphins.

In any of those cases, do we have the duty to protect the lives of dolphins? Either they are not intelligent, not communicative, or have no racial ethic that values dolphin life. Why would we?
As someone who has little idea about chip design: is there that much room for benefit purely from instruction set? i.e. if someone were to design the Optimum Instruction Set [and perhaps it'd have to be optimum in only some types of workloads at the expense of others?] and start building chips with it, how much advantage would they really have over, say, x64?

Maybe a good question to go alongside this: if two teams of equal capability with equal access to fabs, patents, etc were to both start completely fresh, one team making the best x64 chip they could and one team making the best ARM chip they could, how much difference would there be in speed and power-consumption between the end products?
I think a relationship between humans and Neanderthal would demonstrate that relationships can be established with at least that level of dis-simularity. It would not necessarily be the lowest bound.
The point is that in the public discourse, the electorate looks at the president as an office that can fix everything and has control over everything, and that's what the candidates imply in their rhetoric. So in a sense, you're right, but these are totally believable as platform points that a potential candidate could introduce.
Fuck that, don't re-elect PATRIOT Act supporters. SOPA pales in comparison to losing one's basic human rights.

Pull this post and talk to lawyers if you haven't already.

Depending on where you're based you'll have legal obligations that'll define what you should be doing at this point. This may well involve lawyers, your regulators and the police.

Some countries make it a criminal offence if you let a criminal know that you suspect them of money laundering or similar offences (this is known as "tipping off") so you should be very very careful about what you're disclosing both to your users and the general public.
This isn't money laundering (from your initial github ticket its obvious that is what you were looking for, so thats what you found).

Before selling stolen credit cards, bad guys have to verify them. This is often done with small (<$10) donations to charities or small purchases of intangible goods that are considered low risk merchants.

With Gittip they found a way to get the low dollar amounts to come back to them, but since this wasn't really the goal to start with, you'll likely see donations to random leaderboard members that are unaffiliated with the fraud itself in the future.

Congrats to DaniFong and the rest of the LightSail team.

Large scale energy storage is an unappreciated problem. Our current grid has to quickly scale up and down with demand, because there is no way store excess capacity when demand is down (and therefore, no way to reuse previous excess capacity when demand is up).

When this problem is actually solved (crossing fingers until LightSail actually ships ...), the grid is going to undergo a serious transformation for the first time - from a just-in-time economy to an inventory management economy.

Certainly delete can be useful, but nulling a property has almost the same effect (apart from hasOwnProperty still returning true) - if you're looking at optimising at the level this article is talking about avoiding delete might well be sensible.

Now, It's BYOA (Bring Your Own Application)
Lots of free CS, Math books.
I've hired hundreds of IT services salespeople in my life, through multiple recessions and boom times. So believe me when I say that a $32K base is not going cut it. Especially in a poor economy like now. Even now it is easy to find a tech sales job at that kind of base. Poor economies are when companies need superstar business developers the most. In bad times candidates want a higher base and are willing to take a lower upside. In growth times, like the late 90's, a good salesperson will want a high upside and possibly equity at the cost of a very low to zero base. So, to get a "star", you'll need to pay at least $100K base. Maybe much more in the NY area; most of my experience is in Texas. Any salesperson, in the current economy, who would even consider this type of offer is not someone that I would even talk to. (I have experienced exceptions to this, but they are so rare that you might as well hope to win a lottery.) Superstar sales people are exceptionally rare and often unusual people. But they can make you a lot of money if you pay them and lead them properly.

Regarding the "have someone send your resume" issue, unlike some commenters, I don't really have a problem with it. I think it is kind of fun and interesting. But I suspect that they did this because they are inundated with unqualified candidates.

Here is how to solve the problem. Get on the phone and call one of the groups like Aerotek or Lucas and Assoc. These companies tend to hire young sharp people but lose them after only a couple of years. Ask the receptionist who the top performers are. Invite those people to lunch. Sell them, then let them sell you. I've done this many times. It works.

"I already have wireframes, I just need you to code it"
In California, he hasn't taken into account redistricting. If you live in the the new 30th district, your choices are Brad Sherman and Howard Berman - both on this list. There are a lot of people involved in the entertainment industry around there (it's in the San Fernando Valley), so it might be impossible to elect someone not beholden to it.

(I know this because I used to live in Brad Sherman's district. I never expected that area to have a competitive congressional race, and now it's the site of one of the most expensive, bewildering, and viciously competitive races in the country.)
In general I've been super impressed with NY times visualizations recently. I look at the 538 visualizations daily (http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/). Sometimes they're splashy and cool, but in general they're just tastefully designed in way that gives quick insight into the data that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. And that's the really crucial part, I think: culling the data so that the relevant stuff is what jumps out at you.
The other take-home message is that all of the speeds in question are small relative to c. So trying to go with the flow won't get you anywhere very fast.

"UK + US"

Not seeing any US advertisers (except Staples) that I recognize.

"you get paid per action "

A quick look at your marketing doesn't make that apparent. It was a question that I had.

In order to get the US market, you will need to brand a site and show examples using US dollars.

You also should point out in your marketing exactly why you are "an alternative to adsense". That isn't appearing anywhere, once again from a quick look, which is what most busy potential customers will be doing.

Agreed. When I read this it looks like a verification process for a batch of stolen credit cards to see which are still valid and which aren't. Note that the "successful" transactions may very well be charged back to you at $15 each or more so you want to refund any suspicious payments quickly to avoid going into the negative.

This could also be horrible advice, because now you're mixing types which will make your code a little bit more complex, and you'll iterate over this null and have to deal with it. If you have an object property set to null you'll iterate over it, if you delete it you wont. As for the performance improvements, let's see the jsperf.

https://gist.github.com/4018282

Edit: I found a jsperf: http://jsperf.com/delete-vs-undefined-vs-null/6

Delete is a little slower, but setting null can be too, and setting undefined is the fastest for me in stable chrome.

Hi Ben, it's my understanding that Mozilla Corp is 100% owned by the Mozilla Foundation, and that any profits made by the Mozilla Corporation are reinvested into the Mozilla project.

The WordPress Foundation and Automattic Inc are two entirely separate entities.

You are right in saying that they share a nearly identical relationship - however this small difference is extremely key to the difference in the overall philosophies of the platforms, in my opinion.

In addition to what Cushman said, find out the results of Dr. Richard Hipp (sqlite creater) about putting his software in the public domain.

Speed of light delays don't have anything to do with it, since features sizes are also shrinking. If we were limited by that then shrinking transistors from 65nm to 22nm should have let us clock equivalent cores three times as fast, but that didn't happen.

The important things that changed were that smaller cores tend to leak more, which means that voltage had to be scaled down aggressively. And drive currents are now limited by velocity saturation.
Please do! It's very interesting; I'm not good enough in PLT to try and find out the answer for myself (in such a short amount of free time I have lately) but I'm very curious if it's true that you cannot have overloading on return type in unityped languages by principle.

>You could try to introduce a weakness to a particular poison (one that is not actually poisonous to anything you might want to introduce later), but that would be selected out against pretty fast. And genedrift would probably remove it even before you actually introduce the poison.

You could build the architecture of the genome such that any minor mutation to the "death gene" immediately kills the organism. You could probably get it to the point that it would require $n$ simultaneous point mutations to disable the "death gene" without killing the organism. What you'd really want to worry about is whole chunks of genome being deleted (either through a serious accident in reproduction or a virus). You'd want to design the genome such that each part checks the others parts (hell just use checksums SHA3 is available now), if any part comes up bad, the organism dies.

tl;dr It should be possible to freeze evolution (or just freeze particular gene's) using modern cryptographic techniques.
