I have been looking into business impact assessments and I am confused about the "Impact" part. I have been asked several times about what the impact would be when a system fails, and it appears that this is information that peop… Continue reading Business impact assessments and quantifying impact
Although helmets are required for many sports, Canadian materials engineering technologist Albert Beyer believes that they don’t provide enough protection to the back of the head. His solution to that problem is a “crumple zone for helmets” known as th… Continue reading Impact-absorbing DCLR8 is like a rear crumple zone for helmets
While all team sports can be rough, hockey poses a particularly high risk of brain injuries. A new high-tech helmet is designed to warn of such injuries, by detecting and reporting on knocks to its wearer’s head.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & W… Continue reading Smart hockey helmet assesses players’ knocks to the noggin
Carbon nanotubes have found use in everything from heart-rate-monitoring shirts to smart bandages to more efficient solar cells. Now, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have used them in a helmet lining foam that offers better impact pro… Continue reading “Ultra-shock-absorbing” foam packs a plethora of carbon nanotubes
Astronomers have discovered a trio of new near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), including the closest known to the Sun. Another is one of the largest known asteroids considered potentially hazardous to Earth, measuring almost a mile wide with an orbit that may … Continue reading Huge potentially hazardous asteroid discovered hiding in Sun’s glare
Are there any security implications with allowing an attacker to set a URL for the src of an <img/>? For example:
<img src="http://evil.com" />
We use it for a profile image and we allow users to set the src to a URL… Continue reading What’s the impact of an attacker controlled image src? [duplicate]
As the dinosaurs could attest, it’s worth keeping an eye on any big space rocks that might be buzzing around Earth. A fleet of observatories are doing just that, and astronomers have now announced that we’ve just ticked over the milestone of 30,000 nea… Continue reading Near-Earth asteroid tally ticks over 30,000 milestone
It’s believed that the Moon formed billions of years ago, from debris from a cosmic collision with Earth. New high-resolution simulations not only illustrate the idea in stunning detail, but reveal that the Moon’s birth might have taken mere hours.Cont… Continue reading Wild simulations of cosmic collisions show the Moon forming in just hours
The Earth still bears the scar of the gigantic asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs, along with three quarters of all life – but a new study suggests that killer rock wasn’t alone. Scientists have discovered a new crater in the seabed of the No… Continue reading Newly discovered crater suggests multiple asteroids killed dinosaurs
Astronomers had a tense few days in January, as a newly discovered space rock became the riskiest asteroid in a decade – and then hid behind the Moon for a week. Thankfully, further observations have now found that it poses no risk to Earth when it swi… Continue reading The tense journey from “riskiest asteroid in a decade” to no threat
