EdgeHTML.dll is just a fork of mshtml.dll, which started somewhere after IE11 and stripped out all the compatibility modes (except quirks and limited-quirks, both of which are starting to get properly standardised) and then started refactoring the code to get rid of all the less nice design decisions caused by having to keep the IE7 code working through a bunch of ifs.

Even lower-level, anything consumable by, well, anyone, quickly transforms from add-to-cart, checkout, and ship (whether digitally or physically), to add-to-cart, checkout, make sure they're actually the cardholder and legitimately authorizing the purchase, ship.

I have seen far too many places -- whether they're side projects, smb, or even enterprises -- completely miss the antifraud step. There are companies like MaxMind who <help identify and somewhat prevent this> but for someone who is above average-intelligence and an apt "carder", it's so trivial to get around.

When I'm tasked by x company -- a bank, company, security team, or someone with a side project -- to run through their site and try to get an order shipped using false credentials, I can't even speak to how easy it is for me to do so with trivial effort. And it's not all fun to see.

There is a company who does gift cards, and they'd ship them out instantly. Once redeemed by the other merchant, bam, they're SOL.

Don't be this company. Don't be this entrepreneur. Don't be this hacker. Reach out to someone who knows what they're doing. If your business relies on conducting transactions, I don't care if it's flowers or dog leashes, or some shit that's going to end up on Shark Tank, you need to have anti-fraud in place.
Why stop at a torus? Go Genus-2!
Going around the "top" of a sphere ends up looking weird in a 2D projection (like your standard Mercator projection map) - you end up next to where you went in. If you want to come out on the bottom, you typically want a torus.

There's a slightly different methodology here, but one consistent with what you're looking for.

On one line, buy-and-hold the S&P 500. Re-invest all dividends. You are 100% in the market at all times.

On the other line, buy-and-hold all companies run by female CEOs, weighted by the number of companies. Rebalance your portfolio every time a company is added or removed. You are 100% in the market at all times.

I think that if you look at the IPython notebook that the Fortune article refers to you can find the details spelled out in code.

How about, instead of attackin the methodology, in some suspiciously misognistic approach to proving women cannot be the cause, we propose some hypothesis for why this might be true.

- women in business today are like female scientists of merely one or two generations ago. Only the brilliant / driven can overcome the obstacles, and brilliant driven people will outperform, and as CEO they drive the company to perform.

- companies that have sufficient internal mobility that a female CEO is able to be appointed, also are likely to have many other qualities that will allow the company to outperform.

Personally I prefer the second as an explanation for why the companies shown are doing better, and the first as an explanation of why those particular women are CEOs.

AIUI, the version of Trident (i.e., mshtml.dll) shipping in Win10 is that of IE11. There shouldn't be any behavioural changes, and Trident should only be used in IE12 for intranet websites by default.

I initially had the same thought, but when you think of a Mercator map, the top edge is a point, the north pole. On a torus it's a line, the inner circle.

At a global level though, we can see the energy being dumped into the system

How do we measure that? From the article I posted above, climate scientists readily admit that the temperature increase they expected with their models has not come to fruition (as a global, non-local measure).

And thus, if the temperature models haven't been that accurate, how accurate are the sea-level models? Even those estimate a very wide range of potential outcomes (I'll readily admit the minimum is still a significant sea level rise).

Go on Amazon and search for:

18650 flashlight

18650 battery

18650 charger

18650 bike adapter

Flashlights start at around $12. More expensive is usually better.

Batteries are like $5 ... $8. If you own N flashlights, get N+1 batteries.

Chargers are $15 ... $20 or so.

Bike adapters are like $2 ... $3.

The flashlights are very small, yet very powerful. The batteries are Li-Ion.

I ended up buying several flashlights: one for each bike, and one or two more that I keep in the living room, kitchen, etc.
> talent and contribution are everything, the rest is private and irrelevant

Indeed. However, sometimes this viewpoint is considered "erasure" -- if I say your sexuality/gender/ethnicity is irrelevant to code, that's really me eliminating it from the picture of who you are as a person.

It's an interesting conundrum, because while these things shouldn't get in the way, at the same time, we want people to feel comfortable. We don't want people to feel that they must downplay or cover up parts of themselves. So we want to care about these things, but caring about them too much is bad also (because then we'd be fetishizing).

> OS X, Windows, AIX, and Solaris all manage to provide stable interfaces for drivers while still evolving the underlying implementation significantly. So clearly, it can be done.

By accumulating a massive amount of cruft that they can never remove. Yes, it's possible; it's also possible to run the old kernel in an emulation layer to run older drivers, but that doesn't make it a good idea. (Though that'd probably still be a better idea than attempting to support the old in-kernel APIs in a newer kernel.)

And incidentally, if you need kernel ABI stability, you can also go run RHEL, which backports changes from newer kernels while maintaining in-kernel ABI stability for out-of-tree drivers, within a given major release. So for the support lifetime of that RHEL release, you can count on ABI stability.

> The idea that the Linux kernel should or can contain all support for all hardware ever is an ideological pursuit at best.

And, in practice, a shockingly successful one. There's very little mainstream hardware left that the kernel doesn't have in-tree support for. (No, that's not an invitation to enumerate the remaining exceptions.) And even for a fair bit of nVidia hardware there's the reverse-engineered nouveau driver, which is good enough for desktop environments and light gaming on the hardware it supports.

However, for a production-quality Linux system, it makes more sense to select hardware with in-tree drivers.

> And people still report stability and crash issues with mainline kernel drivers too, just perhaps less frequently, so that's really an orthogonal concern.

I never suggested it was related; I'm arguing that there are good reasons to not use the nVidia drivers other than that they're out-of-tree and proprietary, namely that they're notoriously crashy.

What do you want the label to say?

A moderately detailed label, that says "This product is a GMO containing genes X, Y, and Z, from Q Lab at B Company, manufactured on Y/M/D". This is a good label.

A label that says "This is a GMO" is a bad label.

It's a bad label because it succumbs to one of two failure modes. It's an unstable equilibrium.

The first failure mode is (I suspect) the underlying motivation for pro-labelling folks. By putting a black box warning label on things, they want to nudge people away from them. The reason this is bad, is because "GMO" is a very large category, and different GMOs have different risk profiles. My personal favourite go-to example, since my girlfriend is diabetic, is insulin. Insulin is mass produced by genetically modified E.Coli. Not only is there no argument whatsoever that this is dangerous, it's necessary for her to live. On the other hand, take roundup-ready. Roundup-ready could be dangerous, because a pesticide-resistant plant will get more pesticides used on it. Creating one label, explicitly as a warning label, that encapsulates a category this broad is misleading.

The second failure mode is the exact opposite: Prop 65 warnings[1]. Lets say that we get warning labels, but the economic case for GMOs is so strong that people start routinely ignoring them. You end up with a situation where everything is labeled WARNING! CANCER^W GMOS! but nobody takes it seriously. This is a failure mode, both because it erodes confidence in public regulatory authorities and institutions (which generally exist to protect us), and it causes people to discount legitimate warnings. Like when I got a prop 65 warning about my apartment and assumed it was bullshit, only to find out (while mounting things to the wall) that it was a warning for lead paint and holy shit don't do anything to the walls without a face mask

----

As a compromise, I'm 100% for labels that seek an informational role instead of a cautionary one. Like how my coke zero has a warning label for PKU[2] consumers: "CONTAINS PHENYLALANINE!". If products were required to list any artificially inserted genes as ingredients in their ingredients list, that would also be great! But ultimately, I don't think this would ever happen. Maybe I'm overly cynical, but my belief is that the people advocating for labels, want the simple black box warning label. They think all GMOs are categorically bad, want to warn people away, and seek to create a moral panic as an effective way of doing this. I think this is dangerous, because not all GMOs are created equal. After all, GMO rice saves 2/3 of a million children in developing countries every year [3]. I would not want to throw that baby out with the modified bathwater

> Please provide evidence you have a better defense against replay attacks. Then we can go through all the other avenues of attack on biometrics...

When did i discredit replay attacks? It seems like you're setting up a straw man. You said the "only way to avoid this requires an active activity, at which case you've just duplicated the password". I refuted saying there's more than one, and you actually found a source that confirms that.

> The fact replay attacks are taken seriously in regards to biometrics and you arguing you cannot engage in such makes me seriously question your claims of authority on the subject matter.

I didn't claim you can't. The paper you linked (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.10....) applies a relay attack to a known system.

"we propose a system that can attack a minutia-based fingerprint matcher"

In this case, the attack algorithm is building an optimization to determine a viable template - using some prior information of what type of template is acceptable (how it's stored, the features being used to build it, etc.) In real life, this type of information is not readily available, and at best, an attacker is going to be just guessing.

> makes me seriously question your claims of authority on the subject matter.

I honestly don't care what you think, but questioning my credentials is your right.

> How many papers basically agreeing some kind of challenge is needed in addition to the biometric will you need before you change your mind?

When did i ever state that an additional challenge wasn't needed? You're setting up another straw man instead of actually backing up your claims.

Many of my posts mention biometric key-binding as a good alternative to a pure biometric system. In a large scale operation i would never suggest or imply that a pure biometric is good enough - you should really read the rest of the thread. However, what MS implemented here is probably good for the average user.

The other comment makes an excellent point about the mapping. That's also crucial.
This is basically impossible for two reasons:

1. The city is too expensive for a family. Practically no one can afford a 3 bedroom house or apartment (or one that will allow pets). Even if you can afford a house in the school district you want, it won't matter because ...

2. Living in a school district is not a guarantee for enrollment in that district. Your kids may be shipped on an hour long bus ride one way to a comparatively bad school across town. Your kids may be sent in opposite directions to different schools. Some changes recently may have improved the situation, if only slightly. All in the name of equality.

Your point seemed to be that the first of the studies you picked was based on estimates for things like total lifetime and decommissioning.

But the fact that the first thing you picked relied on estimates for those things tells us nothing at all about the quality of the data, just that estimates were used for something where estimates are always used.

Windows 10 is still pushing the metro shit pretty heavily. The new control panels are a real annoyance. Even something as simple as connecting or viewing WiFi status is more involved than Win7.

And worse, they are pushing that shitty rendering, where pixels are ignored and you get blurry small text. Like the number 1 might be rendered with a 2-pixel width body, with one side sightly darker, because the layout system decided the glyph was to be rendered right between two pixels. Great on high DPI, terrible on normal machines.

But yes, just having the start menu back and non-full-screen metro is a huge advance over Win8. Especially on the server side. FFS, using win2012 server over RDP is so moronically frustrating. I'd pay $100 to get the inside stories, because I can't believe any actual engineers felt OK shipping a tablet UI on servers. It's just so obviously wrong.

Agriculture introduced a larger amount of resources on a scale not seen before. Evolutionary psychologists successfully predicted that women who preferentially mated with men capable of investing resources in their offspring (thereby ensuring their offsprings' survival) would have left more descendants than women who did not. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mating_strategies#Sexual_...). This is not the only factor, but it is a large factor.

For the guy that leads a company that has a rocket that can come back from space, i reckon a car that can drive itself is a comparatively simple problem. The real problem is laws. We're making progress but its going to be damned slow.
