There's strong evidence that all life on this planet can trace back to a single strand of DNA, which evolved exactly once in our billions of years.
For example, if I understand this correctly, a random jumble of DNA as you describe would have a 50/50 chance of twisting to the right or twisting to the left. And yet all life on earth uses DNA that is "right handed" twisting to the right.
The fact that life is right-hand twist DNA probably means left-hand was unsuccessful due to chemistry either in itself or in the environment, because an inversion of a molecule (chirality, twist, etc) means it will behave completely differently chemically. So left-hand twist can exist, but not necessarily in a way that can build life...even if it's able to initially replicate.
> We will reduce the data you give an app when you sign in -- to only your name, profile photo, and email address.
What about localization info such as language?
Are all apps switching to 100% US English? Are they supposed to guess a users language from their name and email?
My guess (and this is just a guess) is that the users preferred language is already considered “public” on the graph so perhaps apps don’t need special permission to access it.
If that’s the case, this statement is doing a bit of misdirection by calling out name and profile photo, instead of saying “we will only give your email address plus other information we deem public”
When I watch the constant progress of Unix time and milestones like this, I really feel the passage of time in way I don't otherwise. Sometimes it freaks me out.
Ah interesting. I agree. Wonder if it is because typical 12 or 24 hour clock resets so we sort of get to "try again" during a new day. A continuously increasing value that never resets just has a more ominous feel to it.
I do generally agree that terrorism isn't a threat worth changing our lifestyles over.
However, I wonder if it's a little unfair to average out the probabilities and compare to something closer to an actual random event, like falling vending machines; surely, a terrorist attack is significantly more likely to occur in a place like New York than Middle America, no?
I'd really like to see something like what's the probability of being killed by a "falling vending machine" IN NEW YORK vs a terrorist attack IN NEW YORK, than something country wide.
FYI, getting killed by falling vending machines isn't a random event. It happens because people are rocking vending machines back and forth, either to knock loose a stuck purchased product or just to try to steal from them. If you get killed by a falling vending machine it's because you were doing something stupid.
So long as you never rock vending machines, and you shouldn't!!, you are way more likely to be killed by a terrorist, even though the odds of that are incredibly low (one in many, many millions).
I like Facebook, it serves a lot of good roles in my life (including my job) so I can't just quit and/or block Facebook. But I was spending pointless hours a day reading my news feed, disgusted with my own lack of productivity.
This extension kills the home page feed, but nothing else.
I still have access to messages, profiles, events, invites, etc. I can still find everything I search for if I seek it out, only difference is it's not drip-fed into my eyeballs with an endless scroll.
My productivity (and happiness) immediately took a step up.
# ELATEDMONKEY is a local privelege escalation exploit against systems running the cPanel Remote Management Web Interface, at least through version 24, and probably future versions too (althogh that should be checked before throwing).
It has been tested explicitly on cPanel 11.23.3 and 11.24.4 running CentOS 5.2 Linux
I wish I could say I'm unaware of a few thousand c5 machines still currently running prod and internet facing at just one of my previous clients; but I can't. These releases don't make things much worse than they were for those folks but let's not pretend there isnt a lot of unmaintained compute that this still applies to and that his is likely to change anytime soon.
Don't underestimate the ability of failing smbs to dismiss the risks involved with that when they can't pay to fix it.
