I'm assuming that the relevant code, is simply an if statement checking for the existence of the url parameters, not even checking if the security questions are correct.

    if(isset($_GET['securityQuesiton0')) {
        // success, 
    }
This is negligence on the developers part and I think they should be disciplined.

Yesterday I had to store integers as keys in a map. It's good to learn today that they are implicitly converted to strings. Yes I could have used an array, but that would of required me to know the max index I would suppose. Maybe in JavaScript I insert into the array at any index, but that doesn't seem usual to me, coming from a C background I'd allocate the max index + 1.

Doesn't that popular software that tracks you tell you to install by piping the output of curl. I think it's call Brew Ware.

Interesting use of the JNI. Why did you need to use JNI?

My own domain is hosted on two completely separate providers, with my own DNS server acting as a hidden master, with DNSSEC signing to minimize the possibility of shenanigans. I can have any number of replicas on any number of networks.

The issue comes when you have to depend on a single service. When you're using traffic management from NS1 or content delivery from CloudFlare, then you have no choice but to use a single DNS provider. Unless they have some special service for whoever pays enough.

How exactly did you set up this fail over scheme? You run your own instance of bind. And I'm amusing your listing your domains NS records as your own, and another parties (e.g. cloudflare, etc)?

> we will continue to fight for a smart policy solution that works for the the people, not the powerful.

lol, they talk like they are a grass root movement, they fight for nothing but their own bottom line, I hate this insulting "disruptive" marketing speech. There are laws, just because you're an "app" doesn't give you the right to violate them.

Great comment. And I want to point out that no matter how privileged you are in America, Government pretty much has the final say.

sorry about that buddy. First time on here. I will make sure to give direct links next time or at least put a plus sign tag so you know where it takes you. Thanks for looking out.
ryanlm · 9 years ago
Absolutely no problem, buddy. I'm glad to be able to look out for suspicious links like the one you posted. With security issues the way they are today, you can never be too careful.
