His take is a result of him trying not to completely let go of the story he's already decided is significant. There is no story. There isn't really a great way to defend against credential stuffing attacks when the adversary has a

Why should it be illegal for customers to pay for prostitution? Why do you feel prostitutes are entitled to above-market wages?

I don't think you are right but if you are then I don't think those economists are right. There is a balance to strike. If your country is behind them protectionism can be powerful.

The biggest problem I have with this is that Mark Karpeles is, provably, a bad programmer...

Yes. This is why IP spoofing is useless for most anything two-way.

Thanks, that makes sense. The HN title should probably be corrected then, at mods' convenience.

There is no way they had more paying subscribers than Netflix. Netflix has 160 million paying customers. These two guys had "more" and made only 1 million dollars total. What? Probably their total pageviews vs Netflix's total

Sorry, can you please try to explain that in another way? I don't understand what you mean.

Well that was obviously forseeable and dumb then. Use the user's resources or charge money.

People who personally have 100,000 Yahoo accounts because they made them back when you could just pretend to be blind and request the captcha in spoken form, and then fed it into Google's speech to text engine, fed it back in to Yahoo,

There is no way it costs near a billion dollars to do an effective crawl of the web. That's laughable. I do wonder how much Googlebot spends on bandwidth and servers though.

All loan companies hassle borrowers (who don't pay). Either they do it themselves, or they sell the debt to the collections industry, which does it for them. If you find a payday loan online in the US and don't pay it back, you mi

I meant the files that contain aliases which are used to configure MTAs, which thus create email aliases.

Does ICANN pay for that infra though or do you? Because if ICANN doesn't pay I don't see how that's relevant.

1. We know that there's no limit in the contract, because if there was, they would just say that. 2. The reason there isn't a limit in the contract is because Ethos don't actually intend to limit themselves to 10% yearly. If

IMO, putting "Ethos" in the name of your private equity firm makes it a little bit too obvious that you don't want people to realize that you care about nothing but money.

by 55555 7y ago
Yeah, the idea that you would take a private equity firm "at their word" and not require it in writing is laughable.

Which blacklist was it and how much did they charge? I have always wondered which are more mafia-esque and which less, as they all act so innocent but are also so adamant about hiding their pricing.

If you have a digestive disease your Dr may refuse to fill your prescription if your last colonoscopy was more than ~2 years ago. Even if you have a less serious condition. (I'm providing another example, but I agree they shouldnt wit

What does parameter mean in this context? Clearly we arent looking at 1B+ 'features' in order to see which are predictive, right? That seems infeasible.

Not all companies can be bootstrapped, and even more shouldnt be. How would you bootstrap an oil refinery or a floating casino? I mean, maybe you could, but why not just become a person capable of taking the shortest route to your goal? Oft
