I have to say that sort of stuff put me off Rails a bit. If you compare to Django for example for code execution vulnerabilities it's Django 0, Rails 11. Though Django has maybe 1/3 to 1/2 as many users as Rails it's still enough for it to be pretty well tested out.

I just finished the development of my first Oculus experience
Hello,

I've been working for a few weeks on a VR experience to teach people how to meditate and the first version is finally over, you can download it here: https://unimersiv.com/course.php?id=17

It should be live on Oculus Share in a few days.
Since it's my first experience I will appreciate any feedback you may have!

Thanks

First of all, weren't Monsanto a) just manufacturing this stuff on the request of DoD and b) the ones who discovered it's contaminated and warned the Government about it? It's like the very next occurrence of the word "Monsanto" in the Wiki article.

Secondly, and I apologize for Godwining the thread, you probably know that IBM built and sold machines to Nazi Germany, having full knowledge that they will be used for oppression and murder. They even found a way to avoid the business ban during wartime. Hell, ever seen the serial numbers tattooed on the arms of concentration camps' prisoners? You can thank IBM punch-card systems for that.

And yet I'm willing to bet that you don't avoid IBM computers, servers and software for that reason. Because what they did during WWII has little to do with the quality of hardware they manufacture now. And so is with Monsanto. The fact that they did work on herbicides-turned-chemical-weapons for USGOV doesn't mean anything about their ability to put healthy food on your table.

If you want someone to blame for Agent Orange, blame the DoD.
A component of Agent Orange, 2,4,5-T was produced by Philips-Duphar (A chemical subsdiary of the industry giant) in the Netherlands. At the end of the Vietnam war the remaining stock was dumped in a polder just North of Amsterdam. When the scandal broke it was too late and the chemicals had reacted to form various dioxins which had leached in a gigantic plume into the ground water around the town of Broek In Waterland.

To this day the area where this all happened is off-limits, even though the soil has been excavated to many meters depth. This will likely be a permanent feature in what used to be one of the Netherlands nicest areas to recreate.

In asking the question of why modern things such as "things that are currently fashionable to today's 20 year old's" are less worthy for study than traditional subjects, these phrases were given:

>free of misunderstandings

>less obfuscated

>clever literally mental contortions

>intentionally confusing

I imagine you would be seeking to understand the difference, and seeking to understand why some things that may appear obfuscated and confusing to a modern person are thought of by many to be better. I hope I can help the understanding via this comment.

Pretty much all poetry for example is full of misunderstandings, obfuscated, with clever literally devices and it is intentionally so. Consider poetry then! Think about why many people value poetry over a clear concise newspaper article. Why do humans like art, why do people like these confusing things? Do they actually enjoy the confusion, or is it something else that they enjoy?

Your example is Jane Austin vs 50 shades of grey. Perhaps other comparisons would help. How about Dan Brown vs Shakespeare? How about Beethoven vs Bananarama? How about Turner vs Bob Ross? Do these comparisons help in understanding what defines a quality piece of work? Do you think that a university that for two years examines Dan Brown in it's literature department will continue doing so when Dan Brown no longer becomes popular and Game of Thrones becomes popular? What does that say about the educational and artistic value of an author when they are forgotten a few years later?

Should the subjects of universities be decided by the consumers, the young students? Or should they be decided by the academic establishment? What difference would that make to education, to critical thinking? This is some of what the article was about.

I'm sure this material can be put to good use somehow but I doubt that it will be able to compete with IKEA's way of doing "flat packed furniture". It constrains design and it solves a problem that's not really a problem. Is assembling a piece of IKEA furniture that difficult? I don't think so.

Then put 58 as the age. If the average stay for an employee in SV is 2 years it means that you still get a worker with amazing experience for the average workers stay. You come out on top.

Even more, let's assume that this person doesn't retire at 60. In that case, the chances of being hired at a different company are even less, you you get a person with brilliant experience who will stay in the company 2-3 times that of the average worker.

Let's also not forget that what was so amazing about post-war education is that it went exactly opposite to the points you stated: it became subsidised, democratized, inclusive to lower socioeconomic classes in general and to minorities and women, and started to do more genuine research.

There's little misty-eyed nostalgia for 18th century universities, there is for the 1970s.

The issue for me isn't that 10k tuition fees is so bad (once you add non-teaching staff, or teaching-supporting staff, rent for facilities, administration, equipment, licensing access to libraries etc it'll be at least 15k). It's the fact that studying is supposed to be a full-time occupation. We don't ask of 12 year olds to work a 40 hour week, but we do of 20 year olds despite the fact they have as many classes but a higher study load outside of class.

Now if we consider that studying ought to be a full-time occupation, there's obviously an opportunity cost to studying or lack thereof. It's not just having to pay 15k per year for tuition, it's also forgoing the opportunity to work a job and make money to pay every expense a non-studying adult human normally needs to pay, rent, food, insurance etc. Another $15k per year is on the low-end.

So you end up with 30k over 4 years, at an average of 5% interest rates you easily graduate with 150k debt.

This is unworkable. So we require of students to work extra jobs next to their studies, knowing juggling a 70h work week for years on end while still living under crappy circumstances negatively affects studies, health etc. We require students to choose jobs that are most financially rewarding (knowing all too well that pursuing remuneration over everything else leads not to happiness, and that at the higher end the correlation between salary and benefit to society is weak). We see students accessing higher education with funds from family, something reserved for the (upper) middle class, and even for these kids it's very normal to have to not view studying as a full-time occupation despite being enrolled in a full-time program, and even so average debt in many countries sits around 30-50k.

Meanwhile, a country like Germany is offering free tuition, without having invented a magic money machine.

There's plenty of reasons to dislike Monsanto for even today, they do have some shitty ways of doing business. But I see no reason to single out Monsanto in the story of Agent Orange, especially that they were the ones to warn everyone about the contamination issues.

" Self-Management is not a startling new invention by any means. It is the way life has operated in the world for billions of years, bringing forth creatures and ecosystems so magnificent and complex we can hardly comprehend them. Self-organization is the life force of the world, thriving on the edge of chaos with just enough order to funnel its energy, but not so much as to slow down adaptation and learning."

I think he's referring to evolution here, but it has no end goal in mind. It just happens, and just as often as organisms adapt over time, many simply die off.
To further expand on that, I would say that currently we have ambitions for the work invested in the FreeBSD port not to be FreeBSD-specific, but also let the other BSDs benefit.

I still think the main focus of the team is getting it working on FreeBSD, but if OpenBSD and NetBSD can gain from that effort we're more than willing to work together.

So far, unfortunately, there has been little commits (or even testing) for the other BSDs. So if you want your BSD represented, it looks like you may have to step up and take some responsibility :)

That's why you have to escape single quotes with

rather than just

\'

As I said, you first have to terminate the single-quoted string, then add the single quote, then start a new single-quoted string.

In your example, my variant (1) leads to:

curl 'http://'\''test'

And my variant (2) leads to:

> An SSL termination proxy is a proxy server that is used by an institution to handle incoming SSL connections, decrypting the SSL and passing on the unencrypted request to the institution's other servers (it is assumed that the institution's own network is secure so the user's session data does not need to be encrypted on that part of the link). SSL termination proxies are used to reduce the load on the main servers by offloading the cryptographic processing to another machine, and to support servers that do not support SSL, like Varnish.

Did they fix the reliability and oil consumption for Rotary? The rx8 ate a lot of oil cause the oil lubricating it evaporates. Also the Rx7 rubber hoses tends to wear down over time.

While the rotary did won Le Man 24 hr endurance race, it is still plagues with problem. These problems isn't because Pistons are better but because Pistons had tons of time refining it. Rotary so far have been neglected and it seems like EV/battery technology will be the future while hybrid is just an intermediate step between oil and electric.

There is a huge cultural problem and the teachers and MBS scandals are just the tip of the iceberg.

When it is acceptable that results count no matter what the means.
When it is acceptable that results are measured by a single number.
When conflicts of interest are ignored by regulators

Then you get:

- inflated grades

- inflated assessments of property values

but also:

- inflated arrests by policeman chasing quotas instead of helping citizens (in other parts of the world police are reluctant to arrest people due to dislike of paperwork)

- inflated claims by prosecutors turning a blind eye to weak evidence (in other parts of the world prosecutors don't fear for their own job)

- inflated money printing

- inflated tech stock valuations

- prolonged ignorance of default risks

- HFT

Markets work but there is such a thing as externalized costs. Regulators have a duty to monitor and step in when the line is overstepped. If they don't the benefits accrue to the powerful who cheat and the cost are born by the powerless.

It is a good thing that the "regulator" stepped in and stopped the teachers grade inflation.

However the way the regulator did this here is another example of single minded black and white thinking. Just because the grade inflation problem is bad it does not mean one can fix it with a single blow of a heavy hammer. Fear of rare random enforcement actions will only intimidate the people but won't stop further crimes.

Hard real life problems need well planned, consistently implemented and balanced measures.

I dont do this repeating class business but CSS Tricks 'css guidelines' web page says that when you do : '.collection li', it first searches through the page for all 'li's then wittles it down to the ones within the correct parent.

> If an professional industry can be grown around child care, I think its better than having parents do infinite amount of harm to their kids.

We know that if you drink lots of alcohol while pregnant, you're going to harm your child. We also know that if you are abusive towards your children, they might end up with all sorts of psychological trauma.

But beyond that? Different parenting strategies probably have an effect on a kid's emotional and intellectual development, but the jury is still out on exactly how much of an effect and exactly what, then, the best parenting strategy is. So, doing an "infinite amount of harm" to your kids because you're somehow not a professional at raising kids? I don't think that's even possible.
