Heh. I sold Tinfoil Security to synopsys in January 2020. We should chat. :)

To be clear, I meant literally compromised. As in, their machines are pwned. The whistleblower indication of Russian IPs logging in immediately after creation of usernames/passwords is a clear indication of that.

Some witting, some not. I am not convinced all of DOGE are actual Russian assets. That would be too conspiratorial. But that they’re all compromised? That’s much more likely. We know for a fact that at least a couple are pwned.

For me the trick is those Metal Earth puzzles. Lego is amazing (I have a tattoo of a Lego brick, heh) but it’s almost too freeform. Even with the kits, I find myself wanting to do more, add on, change, etc. The Metal Earth models make that

> I’ve never seen evidence that it’s particularly common Because it isn't, for small claims court. Does it happen? Absolutely. But it's rare. It's much more common outside small claims, where the stakes are higher.

Once upon a time, they blocked docker too. Things change.

It doesn’t. Coupled with the whistleblower complaint, however, it is evidence.

If the energy is going into batteries. It doesn’t necessarily have to. Also, technology continues to improve, and this isn’t a “next year” thing.

Nobody is threatening violence against you for playing your guitar sharp. I have no idea where violence even came into play here. It’s a registered trademark. A registered trademark is a legal designation that provides exclusive rights to a

That’s why they didn’t patent it. They registered the 100Hz specific tone as a trademark.

That is not what I did. I provided multiple examples of how they left various accessibility features intact. In fact, I have not found one they hadn’t left intact. Have you? If so, that would be a useful argument, and I would not respond

Because that is not what they said. Their comment was “Apparently hacking is something the denizens of Hacker News disapprove of these days?” Hacking, by one common definition, generally refers to a clever, benign, and "ethical" p

by borski 1y ago
If you think there is no overlap between those definitions of “hacker,” you do not understand them.

No, please don’t misunderstand me. My goal wasn’t to mischaracterize your viewpoint, but to point out what I thought was a bad argument. I do not need a PhD in Accessibility Studies to know that the same tones and messages were played as no

Okay, you caught me. They’re evil.

And did not do anything malicious like remove the actual accessibility tones. My point isn’t that they are some kind of Robin Hood, but that their actions don’t warrant anger, whereas the insecurity of a public system we rely on… should.

The hackers didn’t make them hackable. They were already hackable. Your issue is with the city and/or company, not with the “hackers.”

Purely from inflation, sure. But an $800k seed round was considered large in 2011/2012. I know because I was there. Now? That would be a small preseed round.

by borski 2y ago
All funding was lower in 2012, across the board. Moreover, inflation hadn’t skyrocketed, valuations weren’t as foamy, etc.

Something being predicted poorly, hypothetically, doesn’t mean you can’t rectify a past mistake, right? Not specifically related to this case, necessarily, but if you let an acquisition go through and discover a decade later that it was, in

I hate that I can’t say the word without saying it right, but that means that everyone else thinks I’m saying it wrong. Haha Agreed btw, the tour in Gouda is wonderful. Show up for the morning when they have the cheese market; it’s a really

Same, tbh. I love cheese. But that aged Gouda is absolutely memorable. I can literally taste it now haha

Fair enough! I just meant they’d have to stick it on the label or something, since you wouldn’t be to able to obviously tell the difference just by looking at it, that’s all.
