I'm surprised by how much this publication reads like an advocacy piece for a specific viewpoint, rather than an objective review of existing literature. Just from reading the paper, it is clear that there are many experts in the field

On a more general note, a human eating a vegetable is a predatorial relationship, and like any prey, the vegetable will evolve defenses against such predation. Obviously the vegetable can't run away, so it produces compounds that are h

I recall someone in a similar situation who was able to convince IT to whitelist a cloud VM for testing website deployments. In addition to the website, this VM also hosted a wireguard server running on ports that happen to be commonly used

I don't think this article raises an actual issue (if it even exists). If we take up the author's call to action in the title and introduction to "stop growing alfalfa" (presumably by outlawing it), then the corporations

If the justification for criminalizing a drug is its propensity to cause societal damage, then by far the most important drug to ban is alcohol. Heroin addiction may promote theft and property damage, but that doesn't even come close t

Another reason to include commit ids in the url when fetching files from external repos. I think you should do this anyways in case the external repo maintainer makes a change that silently breaks your build script

I agree it seems like a disproportionate act to take given the situation as the author described it, but this certainly does seem like the kind of scenario that involves a lot of context that goes unmentioned. One explanation for this seque

Ah okay I see now you were referring to failure to sanitize inputs/outputs in the original comment. I don't know if this oversight occurs more often when using string templating, but I'm pretty sure this was already a problem

By your argument, everyone using string templating for HTML has bad/nonexistent web security. I disagree.

If we don't care about the UX, then it would be more "convenient" for the developer to just not write the program in the first place. Using string templating makes the DX better without compromising UX, since users just see t

To your first question, 100% yes given that you've accused me for being condescending against programmers and hence the majority of users on this site for no reason. Then you accuse me covering up a "mistake" by deleting a co

In that case I am calling you out for lying to slander me. For the record, what is the mistake and comment you are claiming I made?

Thanks, hopefully violating copyright in Japan doesn't come with draconian prison sentences.

Sorry to hear how this played out. If you have the time and are okay discussing it, consider publishing a write up of the incident. Shining a light on abuse/raise awareness of problems is the first step to getting them fixed.

I did not advocate for any reinterpretation of Section 230. Loopholes in the law should be fixed by the legislature, not by misinterpreting the law as it is written.

by 1lint 3y ago
I think this ruling is overall a good outcome, but one loophole I see emerging around Section 230 protections is that social media sites are free to censor/shadowban content according to their ambiguous and arbitrarily enforced TOS. Th

Yes I will take you up on the offer for these case names you mentioned. I think it will be interesting to read up on them, in light of the current copyright discussion around AI image generation, which I believe to be akin to photography du

Warhol was specifically commissioned to work on the photograph by a magazine, the photograph was not chosen by Warhol.

The point I am making is that I believe photography to entail less artistic expression than other forms of art such as painting or in this case, coloring. Saying "pointing and clicking" may be too dismissive, but I am used to hear

My feeling is that Andy Warhol's creation entailed greater effort, and certainly greater artistic expression, than Goldsmith's act of snapping a photograph of Prince. I guess what I really take issue with is that taking a photogra

The author wasn't deceived, in fact no one even tried to deceive him. Rather, a guy offering to help clearly communicated his intentions, so that the author was able to make an informed decision to decline that help. From the very limi

I think some of the disagreement comes from lack of context. $15 is certainly not a good wage in the Bay Area which I presume is disproportionately represented on this site, but it is a lot better in other parts of the country (subject of s

I think in the case of "serverless" we still share a common understanding of what the term means, even if the term itself is misleading. This "comprised of" issue is different in that it can easily cause misunderstanding

I think the point you're making is that orientation of the image is arbitrary, and the original commenter agrees that's the case for one eye: "If we had only one eye, there would be no issue, the image would appear as a conti
