I see how it can be read that way, but it is far from clear. Not to mention that the design of the 'ad' makes it susceptible to misinterpretation.

Apologies if I'm being dense, but is there some technical reason why it does not use the referrer to selectively block this traffic rather than blocking it for everyone?

In that case, why is https://github.com/greatfire/ still returning the alert(..) js when not coming from Baidu?

Maybe a naive question, but in the original attack, couldn't the 'bad' requests have been identified using the referrer?

I have a B.S. in Software Engineering and I do in fact practice engineering on software systems. However, admittedly, I may be in the minority in terms of both education and practical application.

I could be wrong, but it seems that the way Secret is designed it cannot be truly anonymous. They need to be able to decrypt your secrets to show them to others, and they need to be able to associate them with your account to show them to y

I'm shocked by the supreme court's logic that resulted in the third party doctrine. I absolutely have an expectation of privacy when it comes to any data gathered by counter-parties that I enter into a business relationship with.

What do you think a lot of those higher-level alternatives are written in?

I think you would be hard-pressed to make your same argument in other neighborhoods: Bed-Stuy? Crown Heights? Park Slope? Brooklyn heights? Boerum Hill? Clinton hill? There were 1960s race riots in Bed-Stuy too. In these places in prime Bro

My point: In most cases current residents do not have a tie to the original culture or history. Do not take my comments out of context. You're making my argument but acting like current residents have more credibility - they don't

A lot of the gentrifying neighborhoods in NYC have histories that go much too far back to be attributed to the current residents, even if they've been there 50+ years. Maintaining a late 1800s brownstone is not cheap and without proper

I never implied that I could! Anyway, my comment was concerning communications. Physical security is another matter. I must have missed that portion of your OP.

I agree that such a thread model makes things difficult, however I'd like to believe that it can be solved for. Regardless, there is value in hiding your communications from mass, non-targeted surveillance.

I agree that it appears the developers are calling it quits. If you look at the diff itself, they have replaced large chunks of logic with an abort routine, passing the message "Insecure App". This does not explicitly suggest vuln

So, charge consumers for what they use. Why does this seem to rarely come up? The problem with the networks comcast and others currently maintain is they are saturated. And I'm not getting what I pay for as a result. They need a new pr

There are some contradictions here. For example the author the following statement about encapsulation violations being permitted, but not followed as best practice: "JavaScript does not enforce private state, but it’s easy to write we

This is not unique to operations in tech startups. It also happens with "IT" employees in insurance companies and banks. It is what happens to people whose roles are considered peripheral by the core parts of the business. It is n

I'm not sure if your comment is in jest. But in a world where machines are primary, the thinkers, the innovators, what use is this discussion at all?

I've either terribly represented my thought, or you have grossly misunderstood my statement. I am arguing FOR a capitalist system. I'm saying I don't understand why the article authors will assume it is going to break down be

So these machines will spontaneously appear?

I'm confused by the idea that technology will somehow eventually render most of the population jobless. Why should this cause a breakdown of the capitalist system? These discussions seem to take this for granted without explaining why

The beauty of the internet is that you have unfettered access to mountains of information. When I was in my early teens it was this information and ease of access that allowed me to learn about computers and how they worked. I would spend h

I'm not claiming to know more than Bill. To backtrack a bit, there are other concerns more primary than these in certain situations (possibly a lot of situations). However, Bill's comment was not about assembly, it was about what

So you can draw on a surface... How many tablet users need more drawing capabilities than an iPad grants? The Surface, in it's existing form, is not a viable product.

Yeah, I could see interpreting this quote that way. However, if taken literally it implies a very intertwined world. It's probably not fair to to dissect this so much, however.

I stoppped reading when I got to this: "If you’re a great programmer, you make all the routines depend on each other, so little mistakes can really hurt you." I know things were different back then, and Bill did not have the luxur

Especially when you consider that after taxes, retirement savings, etc, you're likely to take home less than 50% of gross. If you're single you can still have fun on 80k, but it's peanuts if you want to have a family and&#x2F
