In my opinion, this begs the question: what was the population of Hawaii expected to do in response to this warning? From my reading of the articles, for the most part people did not know what to do. In their position, without a clear plan,

I expect that we're seeing organizations dust off or setup new systems to warn their populations of incoming missiles as a result of the rising tensions with North Korea. There's an argument to be made that there could and are pol

I think I'd go a little further, even: not only is there friction moving from one "immersive" application to another, there seems to be some expenditure of energy necessary to actually make the switch. Each fights in it'

Personally, this was one of my biggest disappointments from the Obama administration. Before he became president, he was critical of the Patriot Act and seemed legitimately concerned[0]. After election he signed a four year renewal[1]. [0]:

Microparticles of plastic in fish, in most cases, come from the water exiting a water treatment plant that is entering the environment. Some of these microparticles are manufactured, often in beauty or cleanser products, others are the resu

I wonder if we'll see some performance return as subsequent patches are produced. I can't tell from the coverage so far if this is possible.

I don't feel comfortable laying the abysmal and depressing tar pit of money and productivity that is the US healthcare system at the feet of "capitalism". In my opinion, the clumsy and inefficient interplay between health car

Now I feel like chrisseaton; I believe you, but that is insane! I don't know how I'd feel if they were checking my bag _for candy_... That might push me to stop seeing movies in theaters, honestly.

If theaters launched their own service, it would be one service per theater. If you lived in an area with more than one chain, you'd either subscribe to both or only go to one theater chain. Or, more likely, eventually grow dissatisfie

At the Cinermarks near me (there are two), they always have one or two people tearing tickets as people walk in. These people will make you throw away food or candy, etc. if you try to bring them into the theater. I've had conversation

I do think that they will have compelling data to sell. They will have a lot of demographic information that the theaters don't have access to (age, distance traveled to theater, some income information, etc.) as well as what movie and

With the success of Electron apps (i.e. Slack), I am starting to think this level of OS/GUI Fidelity isn't all that important. As long as the application is attractive and does the job, people don't seem to care that much abo

Homebrew, at the time, was the first to try and build against the libraries that came with MacOS. For a lot of packages this was a huge time saver as it would be compiling a third the amount of code that MacPorts was churning through.

This hits on something that really bothered me in some of the Quora responses, particularly from those who had worked at Google: they smugness and superiority. In some ways, for some people, it could be well earned: someone took an idea fro

I work as a software developer, I don't think I can really get away from having a screen as the central fixture on my desk. That said, for those whose work is not so centrally fixed around computing, elevating a monitor to the most cen

Perhaps that shouldn't be construed as hacking either. If I send a link to someone via email, they shouldn't need to worry about breaking the law if they click it. I do think that a company who has been victim of a SQL injection a

Honoring the robots.txt file is voluntary and ignoring it should in no way be considered hacking. I would go so far as to say that any activity that someone could engage in, simply by loading a URL, should in no way be considered hacking. N

Weev went to jail for exploiting a similar flaw in AT&T's website[0]. They had a page that, when provided an ICC-ID, would return the matching customer's email address. He supplied a range of valid ICC-IDs and scraped the retu

Well, for one it's not a physical store nor a physical entrance and there is no sign that says "Welcome". I don't think the analogy is helping to make anything more clear... It's possible it's making things mor

If you leave things out in an open, public space without any access controls, those things are likely to be taken. A note that says "please don't take this" isn't going to change anything and I find it unlikely that you

I think I see what you're saying, but I disagree that the robots.txt file should have any legal ramifications. Web site operators have many tools that they can use to limit traffic or protect data and they should make good use of those

by cmiles74 9y ago
I don't believe there's a law requiring the honoring of the robots.txt file. People and services honor the file out of a sense of good manners, not a legal requirement.

The poster is arguing that if you make a request from LinkedIn's website and it returns a "200" along with data, then you've accessed that data lawfully and LinkedIn has agreed to serve it to you; I tend to agree. If the

They have many options. They can rate limit access by IP address, they can keep information they'd like not to be scraped behind login screens. And so on.

I find this argument to be a poor fit for the actual situation. The person that owns a coffee shop needs to let people physically enter their coffee shop in order to purchase coffee, snacks, etc. LinkedIn has no such requirement, they can e

I think it's important to keep in mind that at these high pay levels, the president is more of a figurehead whose primary role is to fundraise. In light of this, their job does seem similar in that both the president and the coach are

And the fact that they are using their non-profit status as an excuse to pay their employees less than market value, while the executive suite cashes huge check,s is deplorable.

My parents want to watch Amazon Prime on their TV and are not hugely technical. Plugging the little Fire TV dongle is _way_ easier than hacking something together with an HTPC box. The Nvidia Shield might be a valid alternative, but it&#x27
