A number sentence is an equation.

This has been true for over a thousand years.

Really? Where can you find the source code? I never noticed it on their site - seems like they're a typically closed-source company to me. Am I missing something obvious?
Most bug bounties encourage responsible disclosure, which was not done in the original blogpost.

With that said, it's kind of a grey area. Some may reward you but others may not. Google for example asks for responsible disclosure. They will most likely be reluctant to give you a reward if you didn't play by the rules and undermine the entire purpose of the vulnerability reward program anyways.

The program's aren't meant to show off how smart the engineers are who work there. The programs are meant to prevent legitimate attacks. No news is good news in the security world...and you don't know that you made the news until too late.

I should add, when reporting the bug, I know google asks if the bug is made public and they also ask for a URL to where it is available. So maybe the area is more grey than I think. Nobody will know until someone reports a public bug, I guess.
Given that he easily piggybacked an exploit on LinkedIn's own exploit, they should probably just hire him.
Err, doesn't Mailchimp already offer that? http://mailchimp.com/features/inbox-inspector/

I think most ESPs do these days.
They're also small and self-contained. It's like a poem.
Frankly, it's a little offensive to assume these people are being taken advantage of and don't have any idea. It's entirely possible they know exactly what is going on, and don't need a galant white savior to tell them how oppressed they are.
How the world’s populations are changing, in one map
as far as i'm concerned, though, is that other than zappos... there really isn't that much of a tech scene there. tony hsieh has been trying to develop one, and has put a lot of his own money behind it, but honestly i doubt it's going to work.
Could maybe time-delay search results for free users.
Premium users (news companies etc) pay for more real-time service.
I am working on a marginally similar concept (interface in browser, battles on server) game, but I chose Lua as the scripting language since it is much easier to sandbox. I could not find an effective way to sandbox python for sure, and I am still not 100% on Lua.
This is something that I have thought about a lot recently because I've been wanting to start my own company as well. I don't plan on making money from it right away. I would love to, but at the end of the day.. It comes down to what is reality, which in this case for me is that I will not be making any/much money off of my site. I've looked at alternatives to how I can change this and will continue to do so. Kudos to you for managing to keep your idea going for this long with little to no hope. Maybe I will have to be just like you and just keep at it only because of the love and passion you have for your own product. Best of luck to you on your new project(s)
It's a browser extension that modifies the netflix page in-browser. There is a difference between Chrome extensions and Chrome apps, extensions run in the background and usually provide an icon with information or modify pages or perform some resident task. The apps are, somewhat as you say, a glorified webpage making use of special chrome APIs [1] to offer functionality that is not possible on regular web pages.

[1]: http://developer.chrome.com/apps/api_index.html
If you can think of an easier way to hack Netflix without an API key (which they don't give out anymore), I'd love to hear it!

Don't worry, this is just the start. Big things have small beginnings.
I would like to make a small connection. Novell bought SUSE in 2003 when they were losing business. They continued lose business while SUSE grew, so they tried to squeeze maximum profits out of SUSE by laying off a lot of their staff and making a marketing/patent deal with Microsoft. They still ended up having to sell out. SUSE is still going strong thanks to a great community.
My guess is, the usual reason why companies resort to patent attacks: They are going bankrupt or losing. Whether it's Kodak, or RIM, or Motorola, many companies, once their main business is on its last legs tend to turn into non-practicing entities who weaponize their patent portfolio.

My guess is, Motorola was headed from bankruptcy before Google rescued them, Apple had deep pockets, so they became a target.

The fact that Apple, the world's most successful company, is engaging in First Strikes, is somewhat odd. Usually it is the last refuge of a loser company searching for a way to tax competitors.

Despite the fact that Android had majority market share, Apple is still increasing it's marketshare and raking in the profits, which is another reason why it irks me.

It's like the winning football team beating up the losers after the game is over. Apple is winning, it is out-competing it's rivals. Does it really need to be engaging in morally gray legal moves?

Microsoft, we expect it to, so it's no surprise, but Apple, of whom I have a love/hate relationship, I just wish they would act better. I love their products. They're better than this. They don't need to sully themselves with this cage-fighting behavior.
The idea seems like a good one but you are not solving any problem, it is just a cool way to discover photos on twitter. If you have 6 millions unique users, can you charge businesses to feature their photo on the home page and charge per follower you give them?

Interesting that the main character in the movie Hackers - Dade Murphy - may well have been inspired, at least in part, on the Morris Worm story. I've never heard any official commentary to this effect, but it seems plausible.

The defendant, Dade Murphy, who calls himself "Zero Cool", has repeatedly committed criminal acts of a malicious nature. This defendant possesses a superior intelligence, which he uses to a destructive and antisocial end. His computer virus crashed one thousand five hundred and seven computer systems, including Wall Street trading systems, single handedly causing a seven point drop in the New York Stock Market
The word "They" refers to Chromium.

Saying that a program and its behavior is stupid, is not a personal insult. For example, I think my gnome3 fallback menu bar is stupid for crashing when loading its icons for a particular sub menu (running unstable). I do not however think that gnome3 developers are stupid.
It sometimes happens in various scenes (I specifically recall PS3) where people post hashes of proof of some various hack/achievement/etc that is private for whatever reason. They want to be able to claim "first" if someone else finds the same hack later. Hashes of keys were posted for the PS3.
Interference is a pretty good one.

I've diagnosed temperature problems (grab ice from the freezer, apply to chip, see it work...), clocking problems (you insert strategic delays, sometimes on the order of thousands of instructions) and just badly documented registers (make sure mystery bit number 13 gets toggled just right, or it's curtains).

It's fun stuff.
I see, thanks. Just a very poor error message then.

Wasn't the old version of this trick sending the information in a well sealed envelope through the mail to get a dated postmark? More than 140 characters but you can only prove it once by unsealing the envelope!
The test becomes much simpler after realizing that it covers simple addition and subtraction and that it was written by someone who failed logic 101 and doesn't know who Edward Tufte is.

When a question doesn't make sense, visual positioning of the elements offers clues, and in the logically incorrect questions, there are simple assumptions (only two red in question 11, only pb or only jelly in question 2) that make the question a simple addition or subtraction problem.

I'm not saying the test is good for first graders, but I think complaints that problems are wrong or confusing miss the point of the test. It is not a logic test.
The Empire State Building Debuts New Antenna Lights With A Halloween Light Show
Honestly, the number of times I switch apps when I meant to switch tabs in Firefox, I'd be pretty interested in a Firefox-based launcher/recent apps picker. Especially since Firefox has gotten better with the "open in an app" option in recent versions of Firefox/Android, I think it might be a powerful new launcher paradigm.
I'm okay with questions 2 and 11. Admittedly #2 could be made more explicit by adding the word "only" after "have", but I think in the absence of the word "some" then it's a valid inference to conclude the writer meant "only". Same thing with #11, it could have been made more explicit (in two ways!) by saying "only 2 are entirely red" and asking how many are not entirely red. But again, I think in the absence of a phrase like "at least two of them are partially red" then inferring "only two are entirely red" is valid. I also think the majority would have no problem making those inferences -- the person whose test was uploaded didn't have a problem (they just failed with subtraction on #11).

I think I get #5. The person wrote a 9 when they should have written a 4.

#6 is fine, but then it makes #12 not make sense. Shouldn't a subtraction sentence have a subtraction symbol in it? Or is a "related subtraction sentence" an actual thing, not just asking what the subtraction sentence is in relation to the picture?

#7 is fine.

#8 introduces the "number sentence". (What's wrong with the word "equation"?) But aren't all of the examples "subtraction sentences"? Bah! Apart from that it's fine...

#9 introduces the "subtraction story". Guh?
I actually prefer GIMP. It's much more light-weight (RAM), and it does everything I need (which is usually just resizing and recompressing). Though, I see the need for PS if you have to do more involved stuff.
It's an open secret that non-LTS Ubuntu releases are akin to beta.
At my last job, 15 years ago, I was granted four patents. I also got a fancy engraved plaque for each one. I've since moved, and those plaques sit in unpacked boxes. My wife has occasionally pressed me to hang then up like I used to, when we both saw them as a point of pride. I have trouble explaining to her why they're an embarrassment to me now, and that I'm not showing them off.

I'll be happy when I see they've expired.

Unity is not portable. Mir isn't either. Upstart perhaps, but it's different from what the majority of other distros use.

While TI did restructure on the OMAP side, the parts are still active, not EOL'd: http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/omap-applications-processors/omap-...

The OMAP dev kernel is also quite active: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-oma... Look at the checkins in just the past few days.

Here's what it looks like on the Google side as a contrast: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/omap

While TI announced they wouldn't be pursuing new smartphone/tablet clients, they also announced they'd continue supporting existing customers. It's worth noting that Google is an active client - the Google Glasses they released this year are running w/ OMAP 4430s (and you can see the glass kernel branches are active on the Android side).

Not to put too fine a point on it, but your post is completely unsupported by the (easily discoverable - it only took like 2min of searching to dig the above up) facts.

I doubt that anyone from Google is going to step forward with their reasoning (although, in the spirit of things, I'd be happy to be proven wrong), but I'd assume it was a pretty straight forward cost/benefit analysis. There aren't going to be new OMAP-based phones/tablets, and the number of active GNex's running stock is probably miniscule (tens of thousands?), so it just wasn't worth doing.
Android being owned by the public has long been more theory than practice. Every time Google does this kind of thing [http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/11/google-just-pulled-a-...], it becomes harder to believe.
Would you consider candidates who live in the US, but that have the right to live/work in the UK?

The amount spent on patents and related litigation is massive. There are other large costs as well of course, but the patent fiasco is a large drag on the industry.

Something I'd like to see in addition to the now-pending reform is a law limiting damages to a fraction of revenue related to how the patent figures in the device in question. That ends up looking like a mandatory licensing fee, which I think would be about right for those few tech patents which are actually valid.
do it :)

Search between your tabs in Chrome
When checking #8219321 and #9695860 did you make new APKs that were never "in the wild" or did you rely on existing examples?

While they haven't gone into details, I've gotten the impression that their checks are primarily based on recognizing bad APKs rather than recognizing bad constructs. While that's certainly a good defense to include (for attacks that are expensive to recognize and as a general backup), it is limited because it's inherently backward-looking. I guess I'm wondering how deep their "not proactive" approach goes.
The optimizer didn't remove that?
I think you would be hard-pressed to argue that large parts of the American wealth before 1863 were not created immorally. 1913 is not very much later.

Maybe you're being sarcastic, though, since _The Jungle_ was published in 1906.
That's good to know. Does anyone know good open-source launchers for Android?

Read about how the C# compiler creates Lambdas. Learn how eventing really works. Learn what your LINQ code is rewritten into.

A good C# developer knows the runtime and their compiler, the same way a good C++ developer does. Yes there is a performance gulf between what a good C# programmer can do and what a good C++ developer can do (although the size of that gulf is an argument for another day!), but there is also a huge performance difference between what a good C# developer does and what an average C# developer does.

As an example, my team has a log file that is consumed by other multiple teams. Log file parsers have been written in either C++ or C#.

The log file has a bunch of discreet entries in it, each one of which is independent of the others and measures in the tens of bytes.

One of the C++ parsers tries to read the entire log file it at once. It is dog slow and just chokes on larger files.

One of the C# parsers relies on the file system to predict future reads and just pulls the file in entry by entry.

The C# parser is faster and doesn't have file size limitations.

(On a related note, I have worked with C++ UI frameworks that are heavier weight than C# UI frameworks!!)

My point is, a good developer is a good developer, independent of the language.

(That said, some of the analysis of cache performance impressed me, instruction count is not everything!)

Common core curriculum (in CA, not NY, but they seem to be similar), but not Pearson tests.

Her tests and homework were reasonable.

I do have a problem with the attention her district pays to testing, but not really with the curriculum per se. The testing does give teachers less latitude with what subjects they teach, and when they teach it. They have to cover certain concepts by the time the test is taken, which in her schools is March or April. This means they have to re-order the curriculum to cover the subjects to-be-tested in time for the test.
Sorry, the games weren't being run for a bit. I was only catching security exception and one game threw some other exception, which crashed the whole process. I restarted it and now it should be working.
If he's offering $200/mo and she accepts, it's the best she can get. If she were being offered more by someone else I imagine she "knows" enough to determine the bigger of two numbers and accept the better offer. Her options range from $0/mo to $200/mo. You think her best option, the one she chose, should be taken away by force because after reading a blog post you know how to make better life decisions for her? I find that morally objectionable.
i think the idea is that you do not keep valuables or expensive things in the apartment when there are guests there. either that, or perhaps you also live in there at the same time and only rent out a room or a couch, thus mitigating some of the risks as well.
As others are pointing out, your original comment is rife with blaming statements: "probably illegal", "live with himself", "people who don't know", "everything that is wrong". If you don't understand what that means, it means you are making up shit and saying it for someone else. <----- this is an example of a blaming statement as I imply you don't understand what I just said before you actually have a chance to reply.

How about doing a real analysis on this?

The screenshot had $90 a night with 13 nights highlighted. Assume $100 so I can do math late, and 16 nights rented a month. Assume blocks of stays, say 3 days average each (it's Vegas) and that means you get 4-5 'stays' by visitors a month. That's a one bedroom apartment, free of personal clutter - it would probably take 2 hours tops to travel to and clean it up with one person. Do that 4 times a month and that's ~8 hours of work for someone a month. Washing sheets at home is easy - takes me 30 minutes of my time to do a load of laundry and fold it.

200/9 hours = $22 an hour. This 3 times minimum wage in Nevada.
i'm a little confused though. UofT is supposedly the #1 engineering school in canada, though it does not have the same startup reputation as Waterloo, but you're saying if Waterloo denied you, you still stand a good chance making it to UofT? I'm planning to apply to UofT and UBC as well, so this is pretty good news to me.
Could it be tomodo.com?
You could tweet the cryptographic hash of a piece of information longer than 140 characters to prove that it existed at a certain time.
"and is likely to have several patents on the core parts of LLVM"

While I work for Google, and was involved in the CPTN and Rockstar stuff (and thus can't comment on this article at all, though I wish I could), i can actually point out that this statement is not right.

First, companies that wish to contribute to LLVM are asked to non-assert patents involved in their contributions. This is covered in the dev policy, and has been for a long time. Their are non-assertions/grants on file for a number of companies now.

As for whether Apple owns any patents on LLVM core, Chris Lattner himself told me Apple held none, which is why they had not filed a non-assertion.

Apple may or may not hold patents on LLVM code that is not "in tree" (so yes, they may have non-public frontends or backends they own patents on), and I never specifically asked about the clang frontend, but I trust Chris enough to know that if there was in-project code, be it clang or core or whatever, he would have followed the dev policy and Apple would have non-asserted them.
When software engineers discover that they could be slumlords: LOL.
Please re-work your 2nd graph :)
For about 2 months I have lived with almost no Google apps on my Android device, it has been crappy but I no longer trust them sadly. Looks like with 4.2 on this is going to be near impossible. I really want a decent open source, FOSS phone OS to come along. And before tin foil hat accusations are thrown at me, anyone who believes the relentless drive from Google to shove search, Google + and targetted advertising down people's throats is not getting out of hand needs a reality check, Google actually looks pretty desperate to me. Really hoping a decent Firefox OS phone or something else can come along, as it stands, I'll stick with CyanogenMod 10.1 and use F-Droid / sideloading.
Why don't you white-list imports? Bare python is to my knowledge pretty safe. simply block all imports short of the ones you know wont cause a security risk.

edit: never mind, just read your security section. I obviously don't know python.
I used Impactor to perform this test. Impactor generates all of the packages it needs at runtime (it includes enough of the aapt machinery to compile its own manifest files). In order to work around some situations where packages get "wedged" on some devices, all of the packages it generates have a unique package identifier based on the current timestamp. The APK files I was installing are thereby always "never before seen" files.

(FWIW, it is my understanding that Verify Apps is part of Play Services, so updates to it can be pushed at any time to all devices: if they previously were just sending a SHA-1 of the entire APK to the server, and now needed to check if the file size divided by the current day was a mersenne prime, they could push an update to do that on the client. They thereby are not limited to only "inherently backward-looking" techniques for this protection.)
I think that those are added automatically, scribd was in YC after all.
