I honestly think products like OP's (original OP...) degrade design as a profession. It takes much more time than a day and much more than $1k to properly design a landing page. You not only need to understand the brand (or help build it in some cases) but the language and tone of the business (even in larger companies that have a tone already you still spend a considerable amount of time on this). You need to bring the essence of that product into an easily digestible 'frame'.

The design of OP's site tells me that they think design is something that can be done hastily and with very little information.
Makes sense. If I remember my economics correctly, with efficient markets and competition, profits should approach zero over time. But, if there's no competition....
They gave me ample invites, but I'm limiting them to the few friends I think would be interested. And my circle isn't exactly elite or affluent.

That's not really true. There's a very serious collective action problem and limits on what humans (can) find genuinely attractive.

Which is why I added "in the modern world." In a tight-knit community sociopathic traits are probably much less beneficial than in an atomized, largely anonymous society.
It's not worse, it's equal. But the thing is that people didn't think that this would happen and now they're affected. So yes, that's quite 'drop your sandwich while you're eating it and go update your servers'

This does go counter to the way that it is described that both Google and Facebook have been reported to do things.

This. So many software markets have this problem.

The only way out of it is if a clear leader breaks away eventually, or else a new market will disrupt and subsume the capabilities of the old one mired in cost competition.

You can't really customize. You can customize at an extremely superficial level unless you go to the store and buy your own ingredients and are ok with throwing out the ingredients they sent you that you don't like. Which completely defeats the purpose. You can customize takeout the same amount, perhaps even more "hold the onions" "light on the spice" "sub beans for beef" "sub onions for mushrooms" I do it ALL THE TIME.

Perhaps because to me if I am going to cook something, I'm going to cook something that is to my tastes as well as how much cooking as I'm feeling like doing today. I see recipes as suggestions more than anything.

I also don't like my food hot. It tastes much much better when you let it sit for 10 minutes or so.

Fractal-Self__: A Theoretical Introduction to Universe, Conscious Machines
Right, I had the same problem. Don't know what the purpose of the site is. It's very opaque.
I agree that it seems as if the article is a bit overzealous as to the implications of this work (claiming singularities cannot exist, in particular the one from which the big bang expanded). But, your idea that something has "always existed" in a universe that hasn't "always existed" doesn't seem plausible.

The author's claim that the big bang theory is now invalid because of this calculation of energy loss of a collapsing star being too fast to result in a black hole seems incorrect to me. The singularity from which the universe expanded (according to the big bang) is sort of "untouchable" by physics at the moment. I would guess there are some of the string/brane theory models out there that postulate what caused the big bang but currently it is my understanding that whatever information was around about the cause of that singularity is not accessible to us. Again, who knows what we will discover in the future but as of now, making any bold assertion about the lack of existence of that initial singularity seems presumptuous.
FYI some routers, STBs run httpd with cgi-bin. It's lot worse than some PHP vulnerability, because PHP is not used on those devices but bash is.
If I am donating to a charity which funnels money to research, how is this all that different? I think you can tap into a similar set of population and motivations for the donations.
One of the upsides with this sort of approach is that you have a great opportunity to involve the donors in the overall process. The experiment can be used to provide a view into the nitty gritty of the scientific process and more specifically drug research. Of course to do this well will take a significant effort to communicate everything effectively.
On the other hand, as you mentioned, you don't want to create false hope. To mitigate this you would want to work on managing expectations on the potential results and consequences of those results are.
Either way you should be able to gather useful information/experience on both the scientific experiment and the social experiment.
But it still requires enough money that people won't be launching spacecraft equivalents of leaflets, i.e. worthless trash that is an artefact of fierce competition.
Setting Up a Test Environment for C++14

Consider how many people touch an enterprise system, or even a system at a smaller shop. Consider how many people touch shared hosting servers or even dedicated boxes.

Do /you/ trust all of them, along with all the authors of all the software exposed to the web (or touched by something exposed to the web) on that system?
> Why does it need to be worse than something you might find in PHP?

Because that's what it's being hyped as, or more correctly hyped as "OH MY GOD IT'S THE END OF EVERYTHING" when in reality it appears that if you're not running ssh with forcecommands or a webserver with CGI enabled, you don't care, just like if you didn't run a webserver with PHP enabled a PHP vulnerability wouldn't really be much of an issue to you.

Gititgotitgood? Great. Now how the heck does anybody think that is as bad as the first one?

For this one, an attacker needs to control both the environment AND the command line of the child shell.

People, if those criteria are met, the attacker wins, with or without bugs.

Yes, yes, there are situations where the attacker has partial control of the command line via a filename argument or whatever--whatever indeed! That's not even in the same category as the first bug.

This is a popular misconception, they are interchangeable, being two words for the same concept of different origins. Some authors make minor distinctions, but they are not widely recognised.
Presumably you cannot reject it before you have got one.
Looking at that quickly, I don't see a problem - that should work. Although you're doubling the size of the hash table itself.

You can even do (atomic) refcounting to make sure that everyone is done using the old chain before resizing, although this may slow things down. (So the hash table contains a field of two integers, which indicate the number of readers currently traversing index 0 and 1. Once the value of the "old" index reaches 0, you know it is safe to resize again.)

And you should be able to extend this to k versions easily, which would mean that (k-2) slow readers won't inhibit resizing.

Although, all of that being said, I don't really see the advantage of this over a coocoo hash table.
It seems arbitrarily risky to say, effectively, "My bash is vulnerable, but it's OK because it's unlikely to be called due to the defaults being Something Else" -- that might be short-term reassurance, but it sure sounds safer to fix it even if you don't think it can be exploited.
If you scroll down the page and then hit the back button in the browser; you're in an infinite loop on the ello.co website.

Highly annoying is an understatement.
While I can see what you're saying on an economic level, I can think of very few things more important than space on an objective level. On a personal level, I can think of nothing more important than space.

Why don't you make at least a token attempt to research and prove such a strong claim? Most of their open source was acquired, not generated internally, and is demonstrably less active than it was before it became Oracle. Examples include everything from Sun or MySQL. Oracle has probably done more harm to open source than any other company including Microsoft.
I generally agree with this, but I do have a few nitpicks.

> Comparing this to Heartbleed is pretty absurd

They're such different bugs that they're hard to compare. Heartbleed definitely affected more high-value targets, however the exploit just gave you some RAM contents. It would still be some manual work to figure out what those values meant (whcih bits are ssh keys, which are passwords, ...) and leverage them. Shellshock is much better suited for a "sweep all of IPv4, build a botnet" scriptkiddie attack.

> bash CGI in particular are basically unheard of

The CGI doesn't have to be written in bash, it just has to call something that calls something that ends up calling system()/popen()/whatever. There are probably lots of such cases. Once httpd puts the poisonous string in your environment it's going to be passed down to all of your subprocesses. If you're using CGI at all on a machine with /bin/sh==bash you should assume you're vulnerable.

> They live on controlled networks where rogue DHCP servers can't be operated.

If you're on a network with nodes you don't trust (public wifi, large corporate networks, etc) there is a risk that machines other than the router will reply to broadcast DHCP requests. I don't know the full scope of this attack vector yet but I wouldn't be blasé about it.

The invite model worked well with GMail, because once you joined to it you could contact any one, after all, is just mail.

But with social networks it doesn't work the same, If you need to send invites, explain to them what is axactly an invite, then explain to them how to send invite if they want to tell their friends, it is to much work just to join.
It would be treated the same as exploiting a system for any other reason.

Friendly worms have been done before (welchia). The problems with friendly worms are numerous. It is more than just a legal issue. A malicious worm is looking to propagate quietly and perhaps leave some sort of backdoor control channel. A friendly worm has to propagate (faster than malicious worms), and patch (without DDoSing patching infrastructure), and self terminate (which harms it's ability to propagate). It's hard to imagine a real world scenario where a friendly worm would be effective. It would either take too long to develop, or it would do just as much damage as a regular worm.
Hey I actually love it! It's a fantastic watch, has good functionality -- lacking tons of apps, but then again, it's a watch.

I used/liked:

1. Show to people at parties/in social situations, people are very curious about it

2. Look at texts/email (and possibly fb/twitter, but I didn't want that stuff going to my wrist) without taking my phone out. Especially when driving with both hands on the wheel, reading short texts (one word/short sentence) was pretty easy (and not too terribly dangerous, I thought).

3. Configurable face is amazing -- you can design your own watch face, add widgets like weather, battery, bluetooth connection, etc

4. If you develop, it's great to at least have one thing on the platform, in case you decide to develop for it.

One of the negatives is the closed platform. Like the galaxy gear, Sony doesn't really make it easy for you to modify the hardware/low-level software, and there's the whole silly "get our app to communicate" business, which is just trying to lock people into a walled garden.

But all in all, the smartwatch 2 is fantastic, and it's got a great (non-prohibitive) price tag. I got mine for like $100-130 on Newegg Flash

I don't understand why you had to pour anger into your post. That version of Opera uses the Chromium engine, that's important to distinguish the old vs new versions...

Perhaps the OP was simply unaware of that?
Opera ASA had a management shift.

The new management abandoned their old codebase (and users) to suffer the slow decline of bitrot. Meanwhile they took Chromium, repainted it, added 2 features nobody cares about, left out 99% of the features people used in Opera 12 and called it a day. Then to add insult to injury and cause maximum pain to their old users, and confusion to everyone else, they called the new software package Opera and gave it a higher version number, despite it sharing no code and no features with the original software.

And, just because that wasn't enough, their new management forced employees to lie on public forums and twitter about how they were going to work towards feature parity.
Why do you need to maintain a reference to a hash node?

Or do you mean maintaining a reference to the value stored?

It seems to me that, even with a layer of indirection with a coocoo hashtable (i.e. your hash table is an array of pointers to elements), you still come out ahead with coocoo hashing as opposed to this method. If nothing else, your lookups are worst-case constant time.

In other words: what am I missing here?
