You are thinking about reactions as written out in a chemistry textbook. Those representations tell you about the reactants, products and maybe a few other details like catalysts, solvents and temperature. However, none of it explains the

It is unacceptable, regardless of circumstance. Weasely hogwash from someone who clearly has no idea of ground reality. Otherwise, I agree with your highfalutin talk, um-hmm.

The idea here is that it's better to let 10 guilty people go free than erroneously punish one innocent. That idea is awesome. Nay, it is the lynchpin of a successful society. And it is all namby-pamby, Gandhi-an truth-and-justice unt

Congratulations comrade, your brainwash is now complete. Look for your Frontal Lobotomy badge-of-honor in the mail.

By making it a part of a "standard", you help spreading the disease. Right now, the fact that DRM is implemented via Flash paints it as 'painful-to-use'. Once you implement it without the pain that is Flash, you have rem

REIL code only. :-( With no free/open-source x86-->REIL translator, this is not as exciting as I was hoping it is. Good luck with it though. Am a bit disappointed as I can't test it right away.

With no intention of trivializing a genuinely inspiring story ... [Deckard picks up paper unicorn.] Gaff's voice: It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does? Deckard : Gaff had been there, and let her li

It is because of websites like these, I love my credit card's Virtual Account Number generator. It gives me a new CC number every time, with 'Dollar amount' and 'Valid until' limits. I always use a new number to sig

Why is a US lapdog country like the UK, any better in the context of this post?

That's due to loss of manufacturing jobs caused by outsourcing . Nothing to do with H-1B visas.

Sure, lets not call it slavery. Lets call it what it is: Bonded Labor . Not merely an inconvenience either. Capisce?

by shiven 13y ago
Wanna offer me one? Perhaps you live in a part of the universe blessed with a cornucopia of jobs offers. I do not. Snark aside, did you know losing your "new" job while on an H-1B means getting kicked out of the US within 15 days?

by shiven 13y ago
Also it isn't slave labor because H1-Bs can leave and get another job of their liking or go back to their home country when they wish. Please tell me you were born in a third-world country and that your parents wages were so low that

Alrighty then, pick another country FWIW. Germany, Iceland, wherever. Still doesn't change the point I'm making.

That is not regulation , merely threat of competition. And competition is moot if all the servers are accessible to the "bad guys", in this case, NSA. Unless, you mean to tell me there is a viable alternative to AWS that is loc

Apologies from the get go for my negative-sounding questions, but the skeptic in me wonders: 1. Is this biography in any way vetted by Elon Musk or anyone who has first-hand knowledge of events described here? 2. If not, then how is thi

The English thing is a total red herring. Perhaps we see things differently here, so lets just agree to disagree. Meanwhile: could you please acknowledge that when I pointed out that the Facebook security team does good work, your immedi

Added to that comment for clarity ... In this conversation, you appear to be defending the FB appsec team for the work they do other than _this particular incident_ and I have no contention with that. When it comes to _this particular inc

You imagine Facebook's security team as a bunch of green-shaded pocket-beprotectored bureaucrats? No, I do not. I am sure they are as smart as you say they are. More importantly, I think the people who make the call to pay/not p

abused Really? Just because FB's security team was dismissive of a real bug report due to a language barrier they could have overcome with the tiniest bit of due diligence?

by shiven 13y ago
Understand though that the people working on Facebook's security are real and very smart and by and large not the least bit interested in screwing other bugfinders out of 0.00000000001% of Facebook's operating capital. But they

Clearly, any website the size of FB and its huge resources, needs to have an option for bug submitters to submit bugs in their NATIVE language. I bet if the submitter had written the bug report in Arabic, and FB had a professional transla

Do you really not like reading, or is it just easier to maintain your bad mood that way? It is the reading, or rather the reading-between-the-lines, that makes my mood bad. Now get off my lawn.
