As a security engineer I have no idea why these sandboxes would even be connected to the internet at all for tasks that aren't intended to use the internet. A package proxy? Why not run our own internal cache? Then we aren't at (a

Can we try to play nice now and recognize that other people have diverging, but valid, interests from your own? For example, securing things?

I'll have to remember this one the next time I hear the phone/poverty argument made in bad faith.

...Because law enforcement does not have the interest, reach, or time to investigate every single cybercrime, and if they do it won't be timely - it will be after the fact, punishing the criminals, and not preventing harm. Google is in

> some of the bots won't respect robots.txt The link you posted literally only lists the scanner related to security/safe browsing. Why would it? What kind of bot would that be if an attacker could just put up a robots.txt that

I feel like we have advanced technology to the point that we can't be that far off from the truth, or at least we would look more charitably back on our views now since they're grounded in observations made with the best tools w

It's just a typical enterprise PC configuration. Probably because nobody writes efficient software these days.

So the governments that install them aren't somehow complicit? Two things can be true at once.

We don't have it in the US, I remember being annoyed that there were no more cheap cellular modules for microcontrollers for a while.

Was anything I said disrespectful? It is not intended to be, but it may read as somewhat stern; that's more because speculating without having the fundamentals down is not what I expect from HN. The knowledge in question isn't arc

Does any combustion engine, like the one in your car, have instant throttle response? When you hit the kickdown switch in your car there is still a delay before you start really accelerating. Now imagine a much bigger engine - it's not

No. They might have to say why they went around but they can't be punished for it (that's a great way to open yourself up to liability even stripping away all of the human elements). And I can't imagine any reason that an air

So your employer is having a problem, and prevents you from using any of the available options to solve it? And you have asked them about all of them/told them about the problem? They don't like saving money? Well, sounds like it&

There are numerous services that will let you host static pages for free or nearly free. There are also numerous services that sit in front of your website that can block bots and reduce load on your origin server, many of which are also fr

Because you don't apply to a gun company to buy a gun. (You actually apply to the government...chew on that one for a while.)

Most of them are also easily pissed away if you have money. It cuts both ways.

Among other things, JavaScript in the browser has no way to even express "kill PID 1234 on the user's machine" or "list the contents of `C:\Users\Documents` and upload all of the files" or "spawn cmd.exe on t

Speak for yourself, there are hundreds of thousands of people playing games that do not fall into this category on Steam right now.

Very few are these days with the enormous amount of resources Valve has been pouring into Proton. The only truly Windows-only games I have encountered were online multiplayer with anticheat and that was almost always because the developer

A "data breach" refers to unauthorized access to nonpublic or protected data. Scraping content that is publicly viewable without logging in - or even with logging in, since an account is effectively disposable - is not a &quot

Obviously I meant that any data a person expects to be public, like a public post on a social media site... I was not referring to data exposed in data breaches, which is a different subject entirely... If that was not obvious to you then

That's a blatant strawman - that's not a reasonable position at all. A reasonable person does not expect their private medical records to be accessible to you or me just because they are stored in an EHR system. They might be s

Man, I could use $699. If this gets even a single sale, then maybe I need to try having less decency... (I guess that is sort of a roundabout summary...)

So if I uploaded a black screen, or a black screen with text (the title of the song), that would be sending a message...that I do care about quality...? Since there was no AI? As opposed to thinking of a play on words between the game/

Yes, I'm thinking I'll stop doing it from now on since YouTube doesn't make the distinction. I figured that LLMs saving me the 20 mins in GIMP making a silly joke filler album cover was the perfect use case... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
