It's worth noting that the bun rewrite of rust is still not actually released to users, and has run to a total cost north of a million dollars now (factoring in tokens and CI costs) It should still be taken with a grain of salt IMO

We can do both, adding some additional upper tax brackets and clamping down on tax evasion can go hand in hand with other reforms.

The thing is you don't know that it's got actual future usefulness. You might think or hypothesize that it does, but for various reasons it may turn out to be a dead-end. Almost every endeavour has non-zero potential future utilit

Huh? The bot can communicate with me freely as it sees fit. A "conversation" in telegram parlance is not time-limited, it's ongoing once established, so no it's not only inbound. It can awaken and ping me whenever it wan

Once a conversation with a user is established, telegram bots can bleep away at you. Mine pings me whenever it puts a PR up, and when it's done responding to code reviews etc.

Compared to what? What's your baseline for how much a user-interaction-required XSS vulnerability should be worth?

It's actually pretty on-par for most bug bounties. They used the same exploit on a few programs and got $11k total which ain't bad return on time.

by arcwhite 9mo ago
There's generally no grey market for XSS vulns. The people buying operationalized exploits generally want things that they can aim very specifically to achieve an outcome against a particular target, without that target knowing about i

I've seen code persist a long time because it is unmaintainable gloop that takes forever to understand and nobody is brave enough to rebuild it. So no, I don't think persistence-through-time is a good metric. Probably better to lo
