That is my intuition on this as well. YouTube is allowed to continually play 'wack-a-mole' with people putting up copyrighted material. I don't see why it would be any different with SeeqPod indexing it. Further, Google probably indexes tons of images which are infringing on someone's copyright and you can view these right in their search results.

Got a chronic illness at 2012, my closest lady friend died this year after a long battle with schizophrenia, and I'm just 26... yeah, I'm sure many people have it worse but after a while you can barely deal with your own baggage to be willing to imagine getting any more.

So yeah, escapism is the best thing there is around, if just to avoid going mad.

It's not in PHP, its in Apache. Apache's the one in charge of reading the request and passing to PHP the server variables, it's the one who made the contract that HTTPS means the request was made over HTTPS, it's the one who send to the called handler the value of HTTPS and it's also the one who put the wrong value in it.

It wrongly put the browser-sent header in there overwriting it's own variable (or creating it when it shouldn't).

Usually programming docs are documents but it's far from being the only possible representation.

I would suggest to look at Tuleap Trackers[1]. The tracking system is flexible enough to allow you to define your own layout for requirements and define a set of elements to help you categorize them.

I'm from the development team and we are using it for our very own requirement tracker (in an Agile way but that's not mandatory to follow an agile methodology to use it). You can have a look at some of your requirements / user stories:

* https://tuleap.net/plugins/tracker/?aid=7923 you can see how to structure the text and at the bottom the discussion and the modifications done by each user.
* https://tuleap.net/plugins/tracker/?aid=8262 same with another topic.

ya i am aware of your site.. pretty cool.. have been involved in few projects as well :) .. it can definitely take in a lot of improvements too :)
I think there's definitely something to this.

Another that I think makes a big difference is that Microsoft has historically charged money for reasonably featureful versions of their dev tools. I think it leads a lot of people who work in .NET during the day to do hobby work on some other platform. The freely available dev tools for Ruby might not be any more featureful than Visual Studio Express, but the simple fact that you're working on a different platform from the one where you get to work with all these high-end power tools during the day means you notice that difference less.

Hopefully the new Community Edition will change that that situation.
Google Apps decides to include me in this email because some random person has decided to use my email ID as part of the sign-up. I keep getting these messages and I have no way to unsubscribe.

At least in other Google emails, there will be an option to disconnect but this one doesn't have it. The fine print at the bottom says this is 'mandatory'. I know I can apply a filter to get rid of it but that's not the point.

Before you lawyer-up; know that even a simple cease & desist letter written by an attorney can run $500. And the helpful attorney, would gladly pursue further legal action for an additional modest fee.

You can of course, write your own demand letter. But I suggest you phone this guy first. He needs to hear the tone of your voice.

Keep the conversation buttoned-up and professional. As an opener, seek to understand-- ask him what's the deal with the Founders title on Linkedin? Let him know your position and request he remove it today. No need to threaten him, threats are often counter-productive.

In most cases, the call should be enough. And you saved $500.
Beyond that, it simply lacks credibility. I can't imagine that a Warner executive would be stupid enough to tell him that Steve Jobs was behind an unresolved lawsuit. It's even somewhat unbelievable that the executive would be allowed to speak to him, in the first place, without counsel being present.

The whole piece feels like it has some ulterior motive and he's taken the facts and added his own narrative rather than the truth. Perhaps he's trying to get a new venture funded and he believes a glorified retelling of his previous startup will help.
May I put forth a pet theory ? Indulge me ...

Nature, and being in nature, is soothing and palliative because your sophistication/environment ratio goes to infinity.

At any point, you can be in an environment (city, highway, coffee shop) and you have a certain level of sophistication, and no matter how sophisticated you are, there's a ratio to the environment you are in. Quiet main street in your home town ? Very high ratio. Formal wedding in a foreign country surrounded by strangers ? Low ratio. Stress. Uncertainty.

But in nature, no matter how unsophisticated you are, the "nature" you are in is (essentially) zero complexity (at least in terms of technology and cultural sophistication). So the ratio goes to infinity. No matter what.

That's probably nice for a brain...

I don't think "streaming music startup" implies copyright infringement. There are certainly mp3s on websites that are not infringing on any copyright.

In spreadsheets you often repeat the same formula many times. In a programming language you would not write

C2 = B2/B1 - 1

C3 = B3/B2 - 1

C4 = B4/B3 - 1

ad infinitum. You would store the B's and C's in arrays and write a loop, or use array operations in languages that supported them.

In Excel, if you have stock prices in column B, you compute stock returns in column C by entering "=B2/B1 - 1" in cell C2 and copying the formula for the whole column. But nothing stops you from inadvertently changing the formula in cell C100.

> I am absolutely blown away with the 100 PB for every customer...

Its 100PB free for 1 month, if you commit to transfer in at least 1PB in the first three months, and commit to keep at least 1PB for 12 months (Its "up to 6 months" free of 100PB, but more than 1 month free requires greater than 1PB commitment.) At $0.01/GB/mo, 1PB of data for 11 months (12 months minus 1 month free) is a $110k commitment.

Its not "100PB for every customer", at least not free, its a variable size discount that covers up to 100PB for 1-6 months of a 12 month commitment period for customers able to make up-front commitments of $110k or more.
This is standard description of a UAF (use-after-free) flaw. Reliability can vary from "30% of the time, it works every time" to perfectly reliable. It just depends on the instance of the bug. It is one of the most common exploitable bug classes found via fuzzing.

Because so many browser fuzzing crashes are UAFs, people have put a lot of effort into developing reliable techniques for exploiting them.

See e.g: http://www.rapid7.com/db/modules/exploit/windows/browser/ms1... for a reasonably reliable example.
Any business "dashboard" or management portal that relies on data and developer efficiency might...

Account manager says: "I want to be able to view charts for all our sales data by time, with the ability to zoom in on a range... and make it pretty too!"

Developer [if smart] says: "Well, there's highcharts but it's kinda clunky and also with a premium pricing tier... the best way is always to roll your own SVG + animations with D3, but there are also a ton of HTML5/JS open source canvas libraries that could make some really cool charts... but without feature X, unless we took a week to build Y."

CEO Says: "This is a waste of time, <$1,000 in a tax-deductible expense doesn't matter if we can use this data in our business immediately without wasting more developer time on the issue."

Honestly there's a huge market for data-graphic libraries/services, and the most robust API's are all commercially licensed in some way. The multitude of free offerings all come VERY close to being great, but slightly miss the mark meaning it's "roll-your-own" for non-standard solutions.

Essentially: if the time their chart API's save your developers is > the cost of the license and you can set aside your purist ideals and undying love for d3.

[edit] I say that having assumed all 3 roles in said hypothetical discussion -- as of April 2015 I had yet to find an OS JS library with every chart type/feature we needed. Sometimes you can afford to do it right, other times the convenience is (begrudgingly) worth the cost.
This isn't factually accurate. You can have an implied contract from exchanged emails, verbal communication- pretty much anything that shows intent.
Mobile App Fraud Study  [video]
The complexity of that project is extremely high. My cousin is a civil engineer in Stuttgart, and he showed me a cross-sectional diagram of the affected area and the number of considerations seemed intractably high to me.

But more generally, these kinds of megaprojects go over budget in nearly every part of the world -- especially when tunneling is involved. Here in the United States, two examples are Boston's "Big Dig" and Seattle's viaduct replacement.
I am not sure what exactly you are insinuating but I would counter that more of thid world should aspire to German standards of engineering excellence rather than Germany falling to the standards of "other countries, which don't make use of the world-famous german high quality standards ".

Is the license perpetual or does it need to be renewed each year? The way it's worded on the purchase page sounds like the application will stop working unless the license is renewed each year.

Any time you provide a vector for an attacker, you run the risk of being exploited. Email is even worse than web browsing, because an attacker has the ability to send it to you, rather than waiting for you to go to their site.

I would never claim to know my email-renderer so well that I was 100% confident that it didn't have any attack vectors, particularly with all the crazy things you can do with unicode nowadays - much more straightforward to just read it in a virtual-machine. That way, even if you guessed wrong on the attack surface of your email client, the damage is contained.

>> Oh, and it has an interesting license that forbids you from using it on non-Raspberry Pi hardware.

At 2 billion years older than Earth, I can't begin to imagine what kinds of things could possibly be living on this planet. Given, of course, that it's got the right ingredients for life to arise.

It's a very exciting discovery.

is this comment a non-sequitur or am I missing something? The deal we're talking about was between the author of the piece and Airbnb. YC may have made the offer to fund the whole round, but they're not the ones who made the decision to pull out between shaking hands and signing the paper.

In any case, I apparently place too high a premium on paperwork. In another comment thread on this story, someone pointed out that the remedy for breach of contract is to unwind the wrong party's situation to the position they were in before the contract was signed. In this case, until the check has been deposited and spent, it's trivial to tear up the paperwork.
To add to this, note that the central authority does not need to be trusted beyond Bitcoin's "incentive-compatible" assumption. Consider e.g. a public Merkle tree (I believe Cryptolog runs one of those): a dishonest authority could refuse to accept your messages (and your money), but changing the past would be easily detected. (Consider storing a signature from the authority on "as of $TODAY, the root of the Merkle tree is $HASH".)

You need something like the blockchain if you demand a fully distributed solution, but it's easy enough to build a system which does not need a trusted central party.

I haven't completely read the full paper yet (it's pretty big), but in a brief scan, I can't actually find any definition they use for staying safe. They talk about 'protecting their security online' and 'to stay safe online', however I didn't spot anything more specific.

As you point out, there are a variety of attacks and big differences between e.g. leaking a password or getting a virus infection. But since their highlighted techniques cover both of these attacks (virus scanners, password best practices), you have to assume that they are relating to a whole range of attacks.

I know this will be considered un-gracious and get me the "learn emacs NOOB" award (an editor I have been using for 20 years, just not a huge fan of the package environment).

But, I notice emacs packages don't give the specific steps to follow. For instance http://magit.vc/manual/magit/Updating-from-an-older-release.... says "So please uninstall the packages magit, git-commit-mode, and git-rebase-mode." No mention of what specific command will do that, what environment variable may tell you the directory location or so on. I know writing documentation is unpleasant, but it is really frustrating when you don't connect that last inch with the exact commands.

Even the linked article instructions are a problem. For me the command "M-x magit-version" is not defined until after I run "M-x magit-status". Even then the version reported is "Magit 21050722.2133". Care to hazard a guess if this is a 2.X version of Magit? Is it 2.133?
