Um, what "ideological goals"? "My friends and I get to do anything we want and fuck everybody else" isn't much of an ideology. Ideology means "abstract principles".

Wait, so it's important to be "familiar" to the 96 percent of users who don't use your software ?

A "diode" is not an air gap. If there is any flow in either direction, you don't have an air gap. This isn't hard to understand.

10 years ago this would have been a big deal, because the US (or any country) can always change "forms". Actually that's why you shouldn't create databases like that to begin with.

I read several subreddits and see nearly no images, nearly no rage bait (probably less than on Hacker News, in fact), and exactly no porn. My daily Reddit experience is so close to Hacker News that I've been known to forget which one

Yes, "Open Source" is newer than "Free Software". The phrases was deliberately coined, yes in the 1990s, to cover different (and mostly broader) ground... because there was a desire for a clear distinction between them.

The OSD came out within months of the phrase "open source" first being used, and the phrase was coined as part of the same process of discussion that produced the OSD. It's not a natural phrase and does not have an obvious &q

Um, no. Copyright puts specific restrictions on what you can do with work. Those restrictions are described by certain words. The question is whether the existing restrictions cover training AI. That's a matter of interpretation, but

To break the site. But you're right that a lot fewer people will probably want to break it than to scrape it, and that stuff like CAPTCHAs is usually more about the "scraping" case. So basically a mistake on my part.

Processing a micropayment takes more resources than serving a simple Web page, even if the payment fails . You would have to put in similar filters, or you would get DoSed using the micropayment service.

TLS 1.3 forces PFS, which means that if you want to decrypt a 1.3 stream, you have to actually do a man in the middle attack, not just get a copy of a key. PFS was optional before. It supports ECH, which lets you hide which service the clie

1. That's unrealistic. 2. There is no way any significant number of the people involved in this are thinking that far ahead.

> In that case people are free not to visit. That sounds like an excellent plan. It's nice to find an article containing information that lets one make that decision, eh? The free market in action.

You wanna prevent gift card fraud? Stop selling gift cards. Gift cards are a huge fraud vehicle by their nature. Home Depot is just noticing because it fraud against them , rather than the more usual money laundering for scams. Retailers t

I've been trying to use Home Depot less, and other hardware stores about whom I don't know as many obnoxious facts more. I guess I'll step that up.

Take their Haskell implementation. If I compile it unoptimized (with a slight change to hardwire the iteration count at one billion instead of reading it from a file), I get bored waiting for it to finish after several minutes of clock time

This sort of thing is pretty meaningless unless the code is all written by people who know how to get performance out of their languages (and they're allowed to do so). Did you use the right representation of the data? Did you use the

You seem to think this is somehow specific to government. It is not. And, no, the market does not eventually destroy the organizations where it happens.

How about a few prison terms for conspiracy to defraud? And not for small fry like the "CEO" of this company either. Why not, say, 10 years for Marc Andreesen, personally? And, no, no "disrupting" it with serve-your-time
