It's much easier, and faster, to read some text than watching through a video of some guy explaining it with 4 different analogies.
But it's much easier and faster to record 10 minutes of a video (only one take), and upload it, than condense your ideas down to a single paragraph. Why stress about which analogy to use if you can just say all four as fast as you think of alternatives?
Interesting. Good to know if I ever need to count characters as a security measure. Although, personally, I lean towards just using a byte count and UTF-8. Messages in Klingon get fewer characters than Japanese get fewer characters than English.
Moot in this case, because he claims to have sent a single message of 380 million 'a' characters.
Really? There are non-printing code points (BOM, or left-to-right ordering), but I don't believe there are characters that are made up of multiple code points.
What's strange is that Apple could turn things into a real positive. "We think this app's idea is so great we're adding it's core functionality into our OS." And add that they've either gave its creator $1,000,000 to buy the app, or gave the creator $500,000 as a thank you for spotlighting a need in our community.
I mean, it's chump change for the relatively few things they do it to, the PR is great, it means people would be competing to get noticed by Apple, and they could get that same company to try for a second hit by making them feel good and promoting their next apps aggressively.
Sorry to have been unclear - I know what sandboxing is. I'm just at the point where it sounds super-easy. And any technical issue that sounds super-easy means you don't understand it.
I kinda understand why that RAM hammering issue could exist. Actually flipping hardware bits is something that software engineers don't usually think about. But somehow, sandbox breaking issues like this brand new Chrome bug keep happening.
And I don't just mean "bugs happen". There must be some not following of best practices, or similar. And I want to make sure my code is not exploitable, esp. if I'm contributing to commonly used open source.
I suppose, what I'm asking for is a decent best practices manual (which I expect would be long.
As an aside, I would imagine whitelisting, not blacklisting, would be the way to go.
If you think that "teach X" doesn't go beyond "explain X using words", you're doing it wrong. If you preach education, while not looking at a kid's report card, you're not going to get a good student.
Part of teaching is creating an environment where the proper habits are cultivated.
Fod such a long analysis, you seem to have started from an iffy place.
It is technically impossible for something to be good for the economy as a whole but bad for the people.
Good for the economy is a term that needs defining. You eventually get into evaluating if something is good for the economy. But you never define what good for the economy would be. And that precedes evaluating potential actions.
Let's therefore use the most common definition, the measure of the economy is the GDP. Obviously, higher GDP -> better economy. Therefore, something "good" for the economy raises GDP.
There is no reason something cannot raise GDP and be bad for the majority of the people in a country. I mean that "technically" and "logically." There are a lot of examples involving horrible human rights abuses (e.g. slavery.) I don't want to delve into them.
But you assumed not that they are correlated, but there is a causation between a good economy and improvement for the people. With the current state of automation, it's no longer assured that more goods means more jobs. And there's no reason to think that businesses with freed up assets (no longer needed for stabilization) will spend them on innovation, as opposed to wastefully buying fancier art for the executive suite.
While HTML5 allows for persistent local storage, I would classify it differently from the drive-by installer. The drive-by installer, to me, conjurers images of programs that continue to run (and often restart on bootup). The persistent local storage is, at least I hope is, purely data.
Is there a good resource to dig into the concept of sandboxing? I'm interested, but I'm at the stage of understanding where "it seems like good sandboxing should be trivial."
I would say the difference is quantity and trust. I load orders of magnitude more websites than I do apps. I also load them from sketchier sources. (Relative to apps. I do still exercise discretion.)
The safer it is so load a website (for instance, if it's all text with some formatting) the easier it is for me to load disparate sites. That allows far more discovery of information.
But, to sum up, basically the difference is I opt into downloading an app. HTML5 turns every webpage into a driveby installer. Well, not installer, but run-once execution. Which is almost as bad.
Stop trying to get your getting your spyware laden crap onto my computer.
All I want is a plain ol' HTML4 browser. Blocking JS, blocking ads. Not a PDF-like view o the world where everyone rewrites a shittier version of a rendering engine in a Canvas to avoid ad-blockers. Not one where you can theoretically pull data from the canvas with unique identifiers, because some asshole wants to write an application in a webpage- which should be passive.
What's wrong with separating data from code with pages and apps?
Umm... that sounds like a good thing. But while fake chargebacks (and this kind of trolling) are evil and illegal, I'm not sure what recourse someone would have. For a couple of reasons - first, it seems that it'd be hard to get the chargeback upheld. I mean, someone with their CC and CSV (and maybe zip) typed info in. All they have to do is claim it wasn't them. And the counter-argument is?
Secondly, I'm quite surprised a list of stolen CC's wasn't used to troll one of the candidates. So the chargebacks bankrupt a campaign
It could also be a test of GPS v2, or something else that uses similar frequencies. In other words, things that happen to interfere, as opposed to things designed to interfere.
Any recommended third parties? Someone I know was working on a political site, and was looking for a way to collect donations that wasn't susceptible to that kind of trolling.
Also, it kinda amazes me that the major candidates haven't been blasted with tons of chargebacks from such trolls.
Eh, I'd be amazed if he hadn't diversified billions away from Facebook by this point. So, lose his mind, maybe. But wandering the streets... probably not.
Once you publish, the doomsday public domain clock starts ticking...
It depends.... if the work is done by an individual, it doesn't change the expiration date. If done for-hire for a company, the clock starts 25 years after creation or when published.
Liberal answer: The benefits are localized, the pain spread throughout. In other words, its a tragedy of the commons. Typically, you need government intervention to prevent those.
Conservative answer: They'll get one of the many other jobs waiting to absorb the unskilled labor. Also, fucking government caused this problem by not allowing wages to settle at $5/hour
Advertisements for weight loss products shouldn't show people for whom the product is developed?
Advertisements for weight loss products should sell the benefits of their products to people who want to lose wait. They shouldn't try to increase demand by making people feel shitty unless they conform to a stereotype. This is different from teh car, where they are selling... a car. A weightloss product with a picture of a model is promising "you get to look like this" whereas they cannot even promise you will lose weight.
Advertiser caused anxiety/body issues have caused a lot of problems in the past, redefining beauty standards for corporate profit. The world would have been better off without them.
There's a basic difference between X is good (and if you are ~X, by implication you suck) and ~X is bad, and if you are ~X, fuck you.
I think it's fine to say that ads shouldn't show fat people and advertise weight loss products. Whereas, dating sites (and many others) obviously use sex to sell.
I'm sure you meant Jurassic World, not Jurassic Park. Creed redeemed Rocky (which was nice). But there's no fixing the Crytsal Skull or the new Trek reboot.
EU had a lot of really bad stuff in it. But, also, a lot of really good stuff as well. Certainly the better stuff (like Zahn's) would have made a better basis for a movie than JJ Abrams's imagination.

Are you counting online versions of newspapers. Cause I'll read the online edition of a newspaper.

Really? There are non-printing code points (BOM, or left-to-right ordering), but I don't believe there are characters that are made up of multiple code points.
There's a finite multiplier for any Unicode encoding though. UTF-32 is just 4 bytes per character, hardstop. UTF-8 is 1-6 bytes per character.

A dispute is the beginning of the process. A chargeback is the result of a dispute.
If you ever won a dispute, your card company issued a chargeback.
The lack of the ability to roll over on any dispute without a chargeback fee seems like a huge flaw in the system.
It sounds like you kept getting bounced up the ladder until a manager decided that he would say yes to placate you.
Or, you can show me some documentation that I'm wrong, but I couldn't find any that supported your assertion. See a random source

YouTube totally cares. They get paid per view. It's very much a "stop trying to take what I've rightful stolen" attitude.
It depends.... if the work is done by an individual, it doesn't change the expiration date. If done for-hire for a company, the clock starts 25 years after creation or when published.

Well, they killed the Expanded Universe support and schismed the fanbase. So, yay?
