The policy hasn’t been changed, though. There’s still no explicit statement that privilege escalation invalidates a report: https://facebook.com/whitehat

The test over at http://ip-check.info , by JonDo, is more comprehensive at the expense of not using information theoretical measures like those of Panopticlick, which would give a realistic (if biased) view of browser fingerprint

JonDo has done exactly that: “Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0”. It hasn’t changed things much, thanks to its relative obscurity and the network effect involved. You should try it out!

This looks really cool. However, I have to wonder whether performance is the main reason projects use languages other than Ruby. I’ve heard a lot about Go, for instance, being an especially stable language, especially when it comes to error

Preventing inundation with pastes. This is less of a problem for a small project like this compared to one of the major sites, whose server architecture is probably more robust.

You should use the “ask” link rather than the “submit” link in the title bar if your submission is a question rather than a post.

There are many counter-examples. The important part isn’t that the answer is “no”, as the Law states, but that the story is tired enough to need a question in its headline in the first place. Andrew Marr’s explanation focusses especially

I wish this article were more particular about what cryptologists are doing wrong? What exactly could they have done instead? Without that info, it just seems like pointing a finger at cryptologists and saying, “This is your job! Do som

The U.K. is already far beyond illiberal, but I can’t see Germany going this way. They’ve long been on the right side of the Internet, and I doubt they’ll have any need to do otherwise anytime soon.

I’m no fan of any party that advocates xenophobia in any form, but this is no way to change minds. Still, I wouldn’t call it childish for the dev to use his platform to speak out against anti-immigration policy: calling someone “childish” i

Why do you see this as “abuse” rather than “use”?

Seems kind of obvious. When you can set so many products equal to each other, what could each of the terms equal but one? Misleading title. Someone ought to flag this.

The third chart should have been a scatter plot, not a sorted line graph—which isn’t actually a thing, since you’re just plotting scatter plot data sorted by one variable and not the other, and connecting the dots for whatever reason.

Not everyone is comfortable with selling their looks, so it’s not ironic for a good-looking person to ask for money.

Technology wins when it’s “good enough” in the eyes of its users. Things like online shopping and online discussion forums have won out because they’ve improved enough to be chosen by some over the real thing, even if there’s still a market

The Giver ’s portrayal of systematic euthanasia of the elderly comes to mind. I really hope we never have to make that kind of decision. After all, what choice could possibly be compatible with our principles of liberty, equality, respec

I think documents and hyperlinks are still relevant. Much of the content on the web is just formatted articles, which I wouldn’t mind receiving in plaintext and formatting myself (and indeed many services, such as Instapaper and Readability
