I would be very careful with such SQL statements. I am guessing it relies on some intrinsic fields' order? That could change anytime. Order of fields shouldn't have any impact on you app, but I think in your case it does.

<IANAL> The defense strategy doesn't make sense to me... Could this case be used to just this end? To shake Sixth Amendement and lay some ground work for terrorism case in future? Could it be that this is arranged between defende

> Updating a single package for security fixes or other changes instead of a 1,000 is still vastly more efficient and faster It would be interesting to see the statistics - how many packages in average really use the same libraries.

The scenario you describe is a disaster waiting to happen. Refactor it, preferably yesterday - but make a "shadow deploy". For each set of input / output parameters run both functions and compare them. If they differ, use the

I hope you mean whitelisting instead of blacklisting? otherwise, where would you get the list of "undesired" (whatever that means) individuals?

Whenever something like this happens I am always left wondering if it would be better to legalize and organize some sort of "locking service" which goes around the (national) IPs, finds the holes, breaks in, fixes the hole and sen

Replacing managers IS an effective way to fix organisations, if there is a systemic problem, if other parts are not problematic and if you find good replacements.

I don't have much experience with FDA, but it looks like they are arguing with technicalities. They are not saying that product is not working, just that it isn't approved by them (for this purpose, if Theranos website is to be be

I wouldn't cut them so much slack. The study is either reliable or it isn't. And it wouldn't take them much more effort to make the results significant in some way. In this case, I think that just giving these children the se

Exactly. Also: "...comparable percentages of protein, fat, and carbohydrate as their self-reported diet". Self-reported? That must be really reliable, let's just skip control group... The problem is that the HN title is sensa

Also, this very important piece of title is omitted: "...with obesity and metabolic syndrome". Sugar is getting too much bad press already (along with meat, white bread and computer games). Nothing is just black & white. <&

Nice! I would indeed sleep better if the service monitored my cron jobs. But I would sleep even better if I knew you were making some money from this, because this gives you an incentive to keep providing the service. For instance, you coul

Sorry, missed "live" word. I don't have any (recent) experience with that, so can't comment on that. But in case of OP's page the video is not live.

Not really - there is no flash on (most?) mobile devices. You can also use JS detection. For instance, Youtube uses Flash unless you allow google.com & googlevideo.com, then it uses HTML video tag. It's not like it costs you anythi

+1. Not sure why anyone would want to play video (I guess it's a video? I don't do Flash either) through Flash nowadays... Isn't it easier and better to just use HTML video tag?

Exactly! And if some company is reluctant to do this in the open, they could use him for QA. That is, pay him to do a preliminary test, then fix things, run the tests again, fix again,... until there are no more critical issues. Of course t

I think you overestimate how much ordinary people care / know about their online privacy. I think almost nobody would leave. That said, I myself wouldn't be too happy about it, but I would try to find some other solution instead o

<IANAL> It depends mostly on non-competing clause in your contract with them. Unless you steal their code (even if you wrote it, it's theirs!) I don't think they can sue you for using "their" ideas. </IAN

The problem is not that they detect the test - the problem is that they modify parameters so that exhaust is within acceptable limits as imposed by law. Hiding this in open source code would be quite a feat (but not impossible [0]). [0] ht
