"It[technology] can be set up in a way which is friendly to terrorists and helps them ... and creates challenges for law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Or it can be set up in a way which doesn't do that."

"We all love the benefit of the internet and all the rest of it, but we need their support in making sure that they're doing everything possible to stop their technology being exploited by terrorists. I'm saying that needs to be front and centre of their thinking and for some it is and some it isn't."

-- Unsurprisingly, the main argument here is that creating more surveillance-proof software is essentially the same as being friendly with terrorists. I beg to differ on that.

Very interesting defense. It seems that it works because the attacking AJAX call is done with content dataType 'script'. I don't think it'll be too hard for the attacker to fix that.

Since you are already on Heroku, NewRelic in combination might be a good idea. Their free tier can monitor DB loads, uptime, exceptions, response times, slow methods and what not.

Reminds me of an older post about how Graphite + StatsD can be a powerful tool to measure everything. https://codeascraft.com/2011/02/15/measure-anything-measure-...

Looks the single most dramatic shift happened in these two years. Would someone with astronomical chops care to explain a bit?

"Receivers of a GTFO frame MUST NOT open additional streams on the connection, although a new connection can be established for new streams." Shouldn't that be "a new connection can be established for existing streams"? (Or did I misunderstand something here?)

If 90% of people stop ads from reaching them, then online advertising becomes almost useless. Its probably a bad thing because the companies spending billions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_advertising) to advertise, will stop doing so. The websites getting billions in ad revenue will stop getting money. Case in point: http://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2013/10/17/goo...

"Google derives most of its value from advertising where it competes primarily with Microsoft, Yahoo and Facebook. . According to our estimates, standard PC search ads account for over 30% of Google’s overall value and 60% of its revenues. However, the recent trend in earnings indicates that the growth in online PC ads revenues is slowing down. Additionally, the company’s market share of the U.S. search marketplace has been stagnant at 67%, according to latest data by comScore."

Primarily ad-funded free websites would make losses, or go paid. Us, the customers, pay for not wanting to see ads. Of course, this is just my opinion on what might happen.

I've probably been living under a rock, so Bundler dying in two years comes as a real surprise. Does anyone have a link or two with more info?

Amazing. Less punishing than Bit.Trip Runner, and a whole lot of fun. How long have you been working on this? The most frustrating is to get correct centering at high speeds, since you're moving the mouse with jerks, you overshoot often. It would be nice to see the right click, or some key on the keyboard, act as a "move-to-center" button.
