I don't really want to go if I can randomly lose my job.

Indiegogo would probably allow it though. See for example [1]

Yes, not all new computers are fast (calculators, cars, µC, etc).

> Thus, 230 / 216391 = 0.11% of all websites are vulnerable.

> Latest stats say that about 13.8% of the top 10,000 websites run CMSs. If we just focus on CMS-powered websites, then the percentage of vulnerable sites is much higher:

> Thus, 230 / (216391 * 0.138) = 0.77% of websites running a CMS are vulnerable.

I don't think those numbers mean what you think they mean.

13.8% out of 10,000 doesn't say much about the top 216,391. And perhaps 0 out of 230 of the vulnerable websites use CMS, however unlikely that is.

I was really expecting an article about parsing HTML when he said right at the beginning:

>> You cannot parse HTML with regular expressions, because HTML isn’t regular. Use an XML parser instead.

> This statement - in the context of the question - is somewhere between very misleading and outright wrong.

But nope, after disappointment and going back to the beginning, he says he's not talking about HTML:

> What I’ll try to demonstrate in this article is how powerful modern regular expressions really are.

And not even a warning about how easy it is to make really terrible regex.

It took about 10 seconds for me to stop searching for the X button to close the popup and realize this is how the site is laid out.

are you snopes

hmm, I suppose the people that think I have no value to add to this discussion are focusing on that jab at religion.

But to clarify, I'm not looking for "the answer" and my question still stands unanswered: what is the socially accepted view of women's sexuality in other cultures?

My only experience is with the US where there is a huge demarcation, generally based on the gender of the belief holder, and generally advertisements etc are weighted towards a masculine point of view for women's role.

Perhaps it would help to explain I've never taken any "gender studies" classes or similar, so this is a question of mere curiosity.

Is this just a united statues problem, or in other countries of the world is it not ok for women to have sex? I want to blame religion, but I doubt that's the entire reason ...

Yes, except for the tweet/+1/reddit/others floating bar.

Twice this mystery company is referenced, but never a name is mentioned.

I too never had a problem.

The question I don't know how to answer:

Am I happy because I enjoy my current my current life, or am I convincing myself that I am happy because I don't want to take chances?

If you never get your item, you stop buying, so people stop selling, so people stop using ebay ...

I found the colors (light text on dark background) to be somewhat of a strain but I couldn't stop reading.

So I've never really understood why landlines should charge per data transferred. I mean, after all the communication lines have been run and hardware has been setup, the only additional fees are for power, right?

Don't forget the ease of one-handed reading, and the ability to lay the e-reader down, e.g. to type out a passage. Neither of those are convenient at all with the books I read, unless I want to horribly mangle my book. Unlike GP, I prefer to keep my books pristine.

Maybe I just have limited experience, but this doesn't make sense to me:

1) Woman asks for higher salary; 2) she must be a bitch. 3) Therefore, she is taken less seriously.

What does that even mean?

That's not what their "please donate" campaign told me.

To a degree.

(A) no more than $1,000,000 is raised via crowdfunding in any 12 month period; and ...

So is "liking" something you don't -- intentionally corrupting their business (data) -- going to cause any repercussions?

Hector Javier Durand-Manterola is the author with the yahoo address. It looks like he did work at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), where the other two authors are from, at one point [1]. He's authored a few other astronomy papers at arxiv [2] even though he doesn't seem to be in the database. Perhaps he has retired from academic life.

isn't that the point of headlines?

consciousness raising:

> When searching for ideas, look in areas where you have some expertise. If you're a database expert, don't build a chat app for teenagers (unless you're also a teenager). Maybe it's a good idea, but you can't trust your judgment about that, so ignore it. There have to be other ideas that involve databases, and whose quality you can judge. Do you find it hard to come up with good ideas involving databases? That's because your expertise raises your standards. Your ideas about chat apps are just as bad [emphasis mine], but you're giving yourself a Dunning-Kruger pass in that domain.

hrrm, I'm skeptical of claims made by executives that don't work in that industry, although here he's probably right.

Wait, this is about some UK tech meetup where a reporter asks Musk some questions. And the quote is:

> Finally, I asked Musk who he thought would come out on top, out of Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Facebook?

> "It’s the grudge match," he said. "It’s good for consumers that there is this battle. I think probably Google will win on the phone because Jobs is out of the picture..."

"Win on the phone?" What does that even mean?

Starting at the end and working your way towards the beginning, you can save a lot of time:

> Bottom line: For folks like the Joneses who live in high-tax, high-cost areas, who save for retirement and college, pay for child care to enable two incomes, and pay higher prices for housing in top school districts, $250,000 does not a rich family make.

> Some of the expenses incurred by couples like the Joneses may seem lavish -- such as $5,000 on a housecleaner, a $1,200 annual dry cleaning tab and $4,000 on kids’ activities. But when both parents are working, it becomes nearly impossible to maintain the home, care for the kids and dress for their professional jobs without a big outlay.

Andddd, I stopped reading.

Is there an available Hawking text-to-speech converter? Or perhaps a recording of this by him?

I would much prefer to have only one email tab/workspace; it helps me switch contexts. Of course, that is only my opinion.

Ahhh, it's good to see more useful desktop features making their way online (how old is multi-tasking?). Now we wait for the gmail OS that can run applications...
