"Did they implement defenses against common web vulnerabilities like SQL injection?" Prepared statements has been available with PDO since 2005. It might very well have had bugs, but that isn't uncommon.

I agree though I would add that much of this is because android "won" linux on embedded. Today it (unfortunately IMO) seems far more likely that a hobby ecosystem is going to trickle down from android than the other way around.

It's called a "dark pattern" these days. JustFab is a prominent example and has been discussed on HN.

While I don't agree with all their decisions I think it safe to say that the only reason stack exchange has really good answers to overly moderate in the first place is because they don't allow subjective discussions. If they did,

"Guess what, you start shit, people react, you make enemies." Since you are now essentially making threats I can no longer in good faith continue this discussion.

"You called me ignorant directly and you started it" I didn't call you ignorant, so much as your argument that involved currency and north korea. But I realize it's a fine line and should have used a different word. Not

A fashion designer can't design a collection and enjoy exclusivity. A couple of months (if not weeks) later the fast-fashion store are going to have copies. They can't dictate the terms of a sale anymore than a musician that gets

Chefs are compensated for their time (unless maybe you're the head chef), but they are also not compensated for their intellectual property, which is the point. Maybe a better example is copying a dress (if you imagine outsourced manuf

You clearly don't have much experience with debating copyright instead your trying to shoehorn in your argument where they don't make sense. "You copy a product you devalue the product by increasing supply" A digital pro

"Sales of digital goods, like any other sale, are about me trading a portion of my time/labor for someone else's time/labor." No it's not. If anything, that is a ridiculous opinion. It has no basis is society,

"Right now only the united states is allowed to copy dollar bills" Usually anyone can copy currency as long as you clearly indicate that it is a copy. "The united states government needs to get with the times. Digital distrib

"In no other areas of our economies do we allow such nonsense to go on" Except food, fashion, boats, building etc. You can copy essentially any piece of clothing while " stealing the up-front investment of the producer".

Not really relevant since bills are protected as a result of laws regarding forgery and fraud, not copyright. It's a lazy rebuttal without foundation in discourse or law.

If you are flying in through HK get a china unicom hk cross border SIM. Somewhat expensive data but a life saver in those situations since there is no firewall.

"Who said that was the achievement?" Anyone who understood what was being achieved. That doesn't mean that a single achieve or being first in itself is that meaningful, but it's still an achivement. Just like anyone who

What complete drivel. How do you even figure that a masters degree would take "nearly a decade". A bachelor + master is five years in Sweden, before the Bologna process the equivalent was four years. If your don't keep up you

A random Systembolaget matches a speciality store in essentially any major city of the world in terms of selection and price, not to talk of the less major ones. I'll take that fairy tale over being able to buy the local cheap lager at

I'd like to think that a secure Internet is not too "perfect", but rather that an insecure one is broken and should be fixed.

You can be for the open Internet all you want. It's too late, that's the point. Our best chance has come and gone. People somehow still believe we have a say, we don't. Maybe we never had. I don't think this is like indu

My intention was not to "hijack" the top comment, but to post where it was relevant i.e. the thread talking about the event rather than among the questions themselves. I don't think pointing out room for improvement is irrele

Uhm. I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I was slightly disappointed by the result of this. They might want to change the format in the future to promote fewer longer answers. "You might try X Y Z visa" doesn't really

Yes, defensive driving is about having higher margins. Which is where her comparison falls short. Because police often escalate the situation to get the upper hand on a perceived threat. Which is more like tactical driving, where you e.g. d

While I like affordable things and development boards in particular, hardware price isn't that much of an issue anymore. Most people, especially programmers, are going to spend more in terms of labour cost even just getting this up and

Not to nitpick, but it would have probably been far better for the ecosystem if the money was spread more evenly. Few at PayPal made it super big of course (not even the "leaders" in relative terms) but they where also quite young

> This would roughly correspond with the traditional ideas of "class". That's the thing though. The concept of social class in the US doesn't. So while I agree with you, there's nothing strange with the article.

I don't really see how Go is, or should be, that limited as a factor of design (in contrast with something like Erlang). It's just that everyone in the ecosystem is focused on on the same things and when people with other use case
