Far from being opposed to the article's articulation of cryptocurrencies, I see your (sarcastic) response as buying into the very logic of it. Thinking that the problem with Bitcoin and its ilk is its lack of economic stability, liquidity, or whatever economic factor floats your boat is tantamount to endorsing a future version that fixes the issue. You see, you've been trapped into the short-sighted vision that the RIGHT cryptocurrency is just a patch or version away.

The issues with cryptocurrencies are much deeper than implementation errors. I may actually agree with your economic assessment of Bitcoin, but I think that's quite beside the point, and we should learn to speak about the deeper issues and debate these.
Hello, author here. I thought I'd make this because I couldn't find a library that was tiny, and opinionated about using promises and sane defaults (JSON headers, for instance), and exposed the bits of XMLHttpRequest that I wanted. It actually does very little, but provides some nice little helpers to do AJAX requests. Everything is override-able. I'm toying with even making the basic Object.assign and Promise calls injectable too (see this branch: https://github.com/radiosilence/xr/blob/compat/src/xr.js) but it makes the code a bit uglier.

The other handy feature is that it will use whichever Promise library that's available in the global namespace, so as long as that conforms to the spec, it will happily work with it.

Also, title should be lower case, as with most node modules.

Yes, you're right, the word "free" does have specific connotations. Those include, but are not limited to:

- not subject to or constrained by engagements or obligations

- given or available without charge

So, is the product free, as in available without charge, as implied by the clause "available for free"? Yes.

Is it free, as in not subject to or constrained by engagements or obligations, something that is in no way implied by the content of the article? No.

Is your argument based on an excessively restrictive, ideologically motivated definition of the word "free" that does not fully represent how the word is used in practice?

Yes.

I think the basic idea here ,is for google to learn about the wireless industry from the inside out, and to start create the basics(brand, customer support,etc) needed for a big business in this field.

That together with other technical innovations google is talking about could, in a later stage let google offer an attractive service - or push the carriers to do so, and thus lower wireless costs.

As for what those technical stuff , few possible ideas:

1. A wifi bandwidth exchange, that could let wifi access point owners compete and charge for bandwidth, and that including monitoring and quality assuarance for customers.

2. Offering small business a wifi access point that includes some marketing incentives and free software(maybe POS, etc) in order to entice them to provide wifi bandwidth.

3. There are few companies offering wifi based backhauls at speeds of 300-1000 mbit/sec which could solve the access issues of those wifi access point providers. An alternative technology for this would be 60ghz smart antenna - and google bought alpental technologies, a startup that does this sort of thing.

4. Let phones support dynamic roaming based on price and quality.

5. I think in certain areas - like rural areas, google loon can play an important part.

6. Maybe with those changes, google can achieve a low enough bandwidth costs , that it could offer a basic plan for free - which will solve the marketing problem and subsidize with ads and selling extra bandwidth. But i'm leaning less towards the free plan, because google is interested in mobile video catching on.

> From what I can see, CFS definitely can be cured by "some sort of emotional technique". It's just that a lot of CFS patients simply don't want to believe it, so they essentially end up doing the exact opposite of what is required to recover, resulting in further illness rather than recovery.

How much of this is due to your personal experience vs survey of the data? "Cure" is a very powerful word. There are several examples of CBT providing beneficial results, but nowhere near complete cures as far as I know. It's important to separate our personal experience from the data about a disease with possibly heterogeneous patient population.

Obscurity gains you many things. It gains you protection from non-targeted attacks. Sure, for Wired this means less, but if you're not Wired, moving your SSH port will reduce the number of drive-by attacks made against SSH.

Removing the version from your headers will reduce the number of "use Google to find vulnerable wordpress versions", and require an attacker to expend significantly more resources to identify vulnerabilities in your site.

Obscurity means you only have to worry about being directly targeted, not randomly targeted. It certainly won't make you secure, but neither does it reduce your security, either.

I imagine the revenue distribution would follow a power law here. So it would only really make sense for Epic to go after non-compliant "whales", where the unpaid royalties exceed the legal costs.

Also, the more profitable the project, the lower the non-compliance rate, probably. It makes little sense to defy the royalty agreement if you have a successful project.

Have you seen https://github.com/mzabriskie/axios?
It's simple: "No Easy Buckets".

Yes, some people just want to compromise a lot of sites, and don't care what they are. Those attackers will just blast huge swaths of the internet with an automated tool. But there is a spectrum of attackers, and "someone who only uses an automated tool" is just one extreme of it. Many attackers want a specific site, and Wired is a good example of a high profile target that attracts that kind of attention.

If you are telling me your version number, andthere are known CVEs, but an automated exploit seems to be failing, I will try other things. Maybe there is a WAF or IDS in place I need to evade. Maybe there is an encoding issue I can use to work around it. Maybe its just a honey pot and you are lying to me about the version number. Or maybe there are no known issues, but I take the version number and go look at the source...

Your security posture should not be "I don't think this will help an attacker, so its OK". It should instead be, expose as little information as possible for the site to function.

(Update: Years ago during an audit, I found a version string inside an HTML comment. The software was open source, and I learned that this version stored sensitive data in an oddly named file in the web root. This sensitive file was not on a list of juicy files like what you find in Nikto or a similar tool. The version number is what did it. Granted, this was a targeted attack, but Wired is the type of site that gets targeted attacks from determined attackers who do more than run w3af or Nikto or Nexpose with default options)

> They realize that they have to do this, like they did with Google Fiber to "disrupt".

If I'm reading this correctly, and they're just becoming an MVNO, then they don't have to create any infrastructure (unlike Fiber). In exchange, they get two things: more robust tracking, and a chance to try to siphon off a few of the most profitable customers from the major carriers. Fiber gets them these things as well -- I'm guessing they only roll it out to high-margin areas -- but requires more investment.

I assume that, if this becomes profitable later, they can use Fiber in areas that have it to save money.

There are other valid 20x return codes that indicate success, such as 202 Accepted and 204 No Content.

`/index.php` is the default handler for most requests which go through Wordpress, so even if you block access to a .php file further down the tree, there are generally ways to gain access to that file via `/index.php`.

> the built-in Cron thing is invaluable for smaller shared hosting installations

I don't disagree that it's useful; after all, reading Email is a useful feature for quite a few different pieces of software. The problem lies in that features like this also makes larger, dedicated hosting installations significantly harder to secure, and opens up a number of potential attack vectors.

> Not everyone has root access to their hosting.

No. And again, what makes a piece of software valuable for an individual can make it a liability for a corporation. Since I work for a corporation, having to deal with WordPress is a pain.
Building secure web applications with Ruby on Rails

(let [knol (gensym)]

The DSL could be improved :)

Edit: So a couple of things about this exercise: yes, it took me more time (and space) than your phrase. On the other hand, I specified some extra information. Some ambiguities about your phrase needed to be explicit, so that's a win for a more formal language. Also, there's some more effort involved, so I could have the time to think more about what I say. It would be great to have an interactive tool to think and write in a more formal language, even if it is not meant to be compiled to assembler.

I have a side project that touches this tangentially (the code is made up, though!), but I can't find a lot of time for it :(

Yes, I can discuss the underlying technology. Much of it is based on building large vectors similar to word2vec but much more exhaustive in terms of rich, scored and ranked vectors. Comparing vectors for similarity is almost as important as how one constructs the vectors in vector space. Mimicking the way a human might manually construct a vector remains key.

Relying on vector similarity as opposed to direct keyword matches is an approach that's taken. Utilizing statistical and probabilistic approaches as opposed to "words and rules" remains important.

Traders, investors, hedge funds can engage is quick information arbitrage with it. For example, a stock runs up 20% in minute, you insert a keyword or the symbol related to the stock that ran up, you then get other stocks (a targeted basket) that have sympathetic, symbiotic and parasitic relationships before any research analyst can uncover the connections - rising tide lifts all boats or a lowering tide lowers them.
