Node.js and MongoDB - Getting started with MongoJS HEADS UP! This article was written for an older version of node. More up-to-date information may be available elsewhere. It won't be an exaggeration if one claims that in the past few months Node.js and MongoDB have literally taken the software and web industries by storm. Not just bleeding-edge startups but even medium and large enterprises are leveraging these two technologies to deliver a better experience to their users by build more capable, performant and scalable apps. So what is Node.js? Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. ..and what is MongoDB? MongoDB is a scalable, high-performance, open source NoSQL database. This post will cover the basics and get you started with your Node.js + MongoDB app. Let's verify your Node.js installation and start the MongoDB server: $ node -v$ mongod Introducing MongoJS Installing MongoJS $ npm install mongojs Okay, how do I save a new user in my collection? $ node app.js
Emerging economies might be deindustrializing too quickly As today’s developed countries grew richer, they experienced a process of ‘structural transformation’. This means they first went through a period of industrialization as the economic center of gravity shifted from agriculture to manufacturing, and then went through a period of deindustrialization, shifting the weight from manufacturing to services. In a companion blog post we discuss this pattern in more detail. How does this compare to the more recent experience of emerging economies? Are today’s developing countries following a similar process of structural transformation? In this blog post we show that the patterns of structural transformation in developing countries are different to those of advanced, post-industrial economies. # Structural transformation, all around the world Industry One way to study the process of ‘structural transformation’ across countries is to track how employment changes across sectors in the economy. There is a lot going on in this chart. Why should we care?

IMF Head Foresees the End of Banking and the Triumph of Cryptocurrency In a remarkably frank talk at a Bank of England conference, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund has speculated that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency have as much of a future as the Internet itself. It could displace central banks, conventional banking, and challenge the monopoly of national monies. Christine Lagarde–a Paris native who has held her position at the IMF since 2011–says the only substantial problems with existing cryptocurrency are fixable over time. In the long run, the technology itself can replace national monies, conventional financial intermediation, and even "puts a question mark on the fractional banking model we know today." In a lecture that chastised her colleagues for failing to embrace the future, she warned that "Not so long ago, some experts argued that personal computers would never be adopted, and that tablets would only be used as expensive coffee trays. Let us start with virtual currencies.
Journal du hacker SysSec: About Bitcoin Jumps To New Record High As Governments, Regulators, Bankers Panic Another dip to be bought as the weekend's pump'n'dump in Bitcoin has led to yet another new record high this morning at $11,850. Bitcoin's market cap is now $200 billion... This resurgence comes after a week of considerably more active propagandizing from the establishment. As we noted previously, this week has seen a new group of establishmentarians jump on to the offensive against anti-decentralization, de-control, pro-freedom cryptocurrencies - urging bans, crackdowns, fatwas, taxation, creating their own cryptocurrencies, demanding citizens sell, and outright confiscation (this group includes governments world wide and their mainstream media mouthpieces)... India India's finance minister, Arun Jaitley, has clarified that the government does not recognize bitcoin as legal tender. "The government's position is clear, we don't recognize this as legal currency as of now." Turkey Turkey has claimed Bitcoin is in fact “not compatible” with Islam due to its government being unable to control it.
PGP word list The PGP Word List ("Pretty Good Privacy word list", also called a biometric word list for reasons explained below) is a list of words for conveying data bytes in a clear unambiguous way via a voice channel. They are analogous in purpose to the NATO phonetic alphabet used by pilots, except a longer list of words is used, each word corresponding to one of the 256 unique numeric byte values. History and structure[edit] The PGP Word List was designed in 1995 by Patrick Juola, a computational linguist, and Philip Zimmermann, creator of PGP.[1][2] The words were carefully chosen for their phonetic distinctiveness, using genetic algorithms to select lists of words that had optimum separations in phoneme space. The Zimmermann/Juola list was originally designed to be used in PGPfone, a secure VoIP application, to allow the two parties to verbally compare a short authentication string to detect a man-in-the-middle attack (MiTM). Examples[edit] Each byte in a bytestring is encoded as a single word.
The truth about who is behind Blockstream and Segwit. As the saying goes follow the money. The too-big-to-fail insurance giant AXA is one of the main owners of Blockstream - and they're throwing around millions of dollars to any dev / troll / censor who opposes Satoshi's simple and safe roadmap for on-chain scaling (ie: bigger blocks via hard forking). But fortunately, we can "route around" Blockstream's censorship and centralization: Once >51% of the network uninstalls Blockstream's crippled Bitcoin client, and installs a Bitcoin client from Unlimited or Classic that accepts bigger blocks, then the market (and not some clueless devs at Blockstream, paid by central bankers) will again be fully in control of the Bitcoin blocksize (and volume and price). Blockstream is now controlled by the Bilderberg Group - seriously! AXA Strategic Ventures, co-lead investor for Blockstream's $55 million financing round, is the investment arm of French insurance giant AXA Group - whose CEO Henri de Castries has been chairman of the Bilderberg Group since 2012. Who owns the world?

dorkbot – Scan Google search results for vulnerability. – Security List Network™ LEGAL DISCLAMERThe author does not hold any responsibility about the bad use of this script, remember that attacking targets without prior concent its ilegal and punish by law, this script was build to show how resource files can automate tasks. dorkbot is a modular command-line tool for performing vulnerability scans against a set of webpages returned by Google search queries in a given Google Custom Search Engine. It is broken up into two sets of modules: + Indexers – modules that issue a search query and return the results as targets + Scanners – modules that perform a vulnerability scan against each target Targets are stored in a local database upon being indexed. Once scanned, any vulnerabilities found by the chosen scanner are written to a standard JSON report file. Indexing and scanning processes can be run separately or combined in a single command.
