Ah yeah I guess it’s true they don’t have permission. At the end of the day I think it comes down to the owner choosing to press charges or not, or even detecting it and subsequently reporting it. I would guess that if the systems have ways

Greyhats and especially bug bounty programs, pen testers, etc, have explicit authorization from the owners of the systems to access their systems, and perform ethical hacking with a mutually beneficial goal, hackers get paid, and the compan

I will agree that recently, esp the last 2 major versions, the OS has gotten worse from a stability perspective. I have errors in my logs at a steady pace even on new machines and fresh, untouched OS install from the factory. They just neve

Golang is in a special class on its own. Write some handler functions and pass around a context struct and call it a day. I wish every stdlib took care of all that stuff :)

A large number of extremely talented engineers might beg to differ. Everything you listed as an issue has a solution. Like any operating system, you have to spend the time to learn the intricacies of how it works and to customize it to your

Smaller file sizes or less LOC is not inherently safer than larger sizes or more LOC. if you’re building web apps, you’re more than likely reaching for a handful of packages, and so are millions of other people, and so are multi billion dol

~You can have a root user with SIP enabled. SIP protects core OS files from being modified while it’s enabled. This prevents processes, even root processes, from swapping out core libs with modified ones, installing root kits, back doors, e

How’s your vulnerability reporting process and how much experience do you have interpreting complicated pen tester bug reports about some buffer overflow zero day in your homebrew query string parser? Huge difference between working fine, a

I’ve rolled my own mvc framework before, In php even! This was years ago when CakePHP was the new hotness and Laravel didn’t exist. Take it from someone who had your mentality and set off to make a tiny and no bs mvc that just gets the job

Sounds like it’s by design. Payouts for clicks is way higher than impressions. Sneaky sneaky. Or, malicious payloads await on the other side. My favorite is when a full react site loads up, doesn’t have error boundaries, hits some unimporta

The US government doesn’t have legal permission to kidnap and murder you, not within the US. So it seemed to me like the comment was about china, sparking my reply. The comment could honestly apply to either imo, and maybe that’s the point.

Twitter existed before this app. YouTube. Reddit. Not defending TikTok but there’s a wealth of public real time data from not just the US, but the entire world, some public api calls or scraping scripts away. Tiktok isn’t any more invasive

Google is “friendlier”, because they run some automated scans on the apk and you’re good. Apple has humans run your app to confirm it does what you claim, as well as a battery of automated scans and since they are using the app I’d imagine

Hmm, I remember being 4 years old, not knowing anything at all about the brain, the mind, or much else for that matter. I actually was pretty confused about everything around me. But I knew the voice in my head was me thinking, and I know f

You’re saying the conscious or minds eye is an invention or do you mean something different. To me, everyone is born with the notion of “self”.

Yet 12,000 years ago there existed cultures who were similar enough to have sequin ornaments for decoration. Sure, we are not the same as them, that’s fine, but also, we kinda were in terms of common societal things. We were putting sequins

Knowledge was spread in written form before the printing press. Yes less of it and a lot slower, but you don’t have plumbing systems or built pyramids without knowledge being persisted for generations. The printing press is a factor I think

If we are applying Occam’s razor then the reason that they are letting the IP rot unused must be because there’s more value in doing so than there is to use it. Business don’t burn 9 figures by mistake usually and the fact they haven’t sold

The more we discover about the past the more weird it all is and to me makes less sense overall. People have lived very similar to our societies today, for thousands and thousands of years. Some had plumbing. Some built pyramids. Some did c

Ah so since they don't make banquet fund raiser money, my point about it being in poor taste and shitty for them to say about their patients is moot. Thanks for providing sources on Dr salaries. They are basically suffering from shit l

They didn't necessarily choose to live there but like you said might end up there through indirect actions, whereas a nomad takes direct actions, to live out of a backpack. Huge difference. Making a series of choices, which are probabl

I thought we were talking about mentally ill people, not drug users. The two are not mutually exclusive. You’re not necessarily mentally ill if you shoot dope, and shooting dope isn’t only done by mentally ill people. This is part of the pr

But it wasn't curbed. Unless I’m way out of the loop, there are still facilities for extreme cases, no? I think the difference is that patients cannot be detained there against their will, vs asylums were full of people who wanted to l

Being a nomad is not the same as being homeless. Go to downtown SF and I guarantee you zero of those people have chosen to live on the streets.
