In what scenario do you want external scripts to be modified? Why not take advantage of their ability to serve the scripts while also verifying that they are the same scripts you expected to have? You can also verify that those scripts do n

If the server serving the HTML is pwnd, then it doesn't, but it doesn't really matter then, either. This protects against any external scripts being unexpectedly modified, e.g. someone MITM your jquery source.

Consider CDNs and static content domains. It's generally easier to break or MITM a CDN or static content server without people noticing. This way, you could trust that the code you received was what you were expecting.

It occurred to me the other day that it should be pretty simple to write a script that gets loaded first on the page and removes all subsequent scripts, then loads them itself, checking the MD5/SHA1 of the script against a known good v

Cloudfogger[0] has an interesting solution. Anything within the cloudfogger folders gets encrypted before it can be synced with the cloud service. It also changes the filename to add its own extension. When you open a file, cloudfogger uses

SBM is a collection of trained physicians writing about the problems with non-scientific based medicine. Calling it "personal" and "alternative" is just an ad hominem attack. You totally failed to address the content of

What is the point of this link? NIH is policy, not science. You have failed to provide a single piece of scientific research that chiropractors can properly diagnose and treat kyphosis. On the other hand, problems with the practice are wide

Do a more thorough search. I've done a bit more and have found no one but chiropractors suggesting chiropractics to fix this problem. Also note, while your link mentions degeneration, it is much less common of a cause than a congenital

And I notice, nowhere in there does it say anything about chiropractic manipulation as treatment. I would still caution against putting too much into it until you get a second opinion from a neurologist.

And if an orthopod diagnoses it, then it's probably legitimate. What I was saying is that, in my experience trying to find good chiropractors, the ones that jump straight to x-rays and neck angle are highly correlated with scams.

I've dealt with a number of chiropractors. I go to one several times a year and have for the past decade. There are those I respect and there are those that are scam artists. The ones I respect are the ones that know the limits of thei

I would be weary of putting too much credence into that particular diagnosis. Very few people have the "recommended" neck curve. For unscrupulous chiropractors, it's something they can easily point at as something that needs

There was a recent attack against TorBrowser that utilized a vulnerability in older versions of the Firefox Javascript engine. These sorts of vulnerabilities are not uncommon, so turning off JS significantly decreases the attack surface.

Again, that's great in theory, but pragmatically, most people don't see the problem with government spying if they're "not doing anything wrong". So until you have a plan to change that, I'd still prefer they c

The EFF is doing some great work. I just made my annual donation, a bit early this year. Will likely make another one. https://supporters.eff.org/donate/

While I agree with the sentiment, I would rather have people caring about the NSA spying for the "wrong" reasons than not caring at all.

Saying it has "no driver issues" is a nonsense claim. What, did they include all possible drivers? Of course not. Instead, they've created a consumption pattern where their customers only buy their products.

Really? PayPal has always protected buyers more than sellers. This scam has been running since BitCoin started being traded.

Originally the hospital required $20,000 up front. These were the two options discussed in the article. Is there a third, better alternative that they missed?

Doesn't that place a pretty large assumption on good data coverage? I live in Denver, which generally has good coverage, but my last place was in a total dead zone and I had to get a microcell device to be able to use the phone indoors

It would seem a much simpler solution would be feasible. A small GSM device that is essentially powered off until it is needed, at which time it would be booted up and begin sending GPS coordinates via SMS. If you wanted higher reliability,

What really breaks this is that the current education bubble is essentially unpoppable. Until lenders start losing more by allowing people to default on student loans, they have no incentive to turn down anyone. And with all of that money s

I'm not sure it's possible to not use a mnemonic device. Our brains record information by association, which, by definition, is a mnemonic device. I highly recommend reading Moonwalking with Einstein. It's about a journalist

Not necessarily. Evolution does not mean improvement, just adaptation. Unless there's some sort of biological pressure, such as a predator or an environmental risk, change won't happen or will happen much more slowly. The time sca

It'd be much less of a target than any encrypted hosted mail since it wouldn't store anything, just be a pass-through filter. Yeah, ideally we would all have our own encrypted, self hosted setup, but that's just not realistic

It seems like there's an opportunity for a PGP mail forwarder, a service that encrypts all incoming mail and then forwards it without saving anything in the process. I'd pay bitcoins for that.
