Question: Would filing a false DMCA request count as libel? After all, it is an accusation that you are using someone else's property without permission, in a written format.

Most political biases. That is, people think that their own opinion is based on a sound understanding of statistics, but in reality they are manipulated by their news outlet of choice. It happens on all sides of the political spectrum. That

You actually answered your own question, which I'm glad for because that means that you are thinking about security. Use numeric IDs internally (for foreign keys, etc.), and GUIDs for anything public-facing. NEVER expose the internal

Interesting article. However, I find it disturbing to be be judged without being informed of the criteria (e.g., the apocryphal food-salting story https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/movers-and-salt-shakers/ ).

"how American chocolate tastes" - I believe that I recognise most of the brands in your picture, and I can buy them at Wal-Mart. IOW, we can get it here if we want, I suppose.

Good video series (in no particular order): Electricity videos. Audio can be annoying, but the visualizations (although corny at times) are outstanding for developing intuition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiHVe8U5PhU&a

I'm sorry for the clickbait-y title... it's the one on the page itself. I did think that this was an interesting design, and might be of interest to people here. I also found a website for the font itself: http://braill

Upvoting because I think that it's a good idea, but I don't know any of the details.

I still contend that time is one of the most difficult thing to program for/around. Once, I was building a billing system for a company, & they spent WEEKS trying to decide how they wanted the system to handle a recurring monthly

That is one of my concerns, too. I think that they must have used the CC info.

Nope, never. Also, to clarify my earlier comment, I have never scanned a receipt QR code code with a walmart app, and I'm pretty sure that I have never scanned one with any other app, either.

I know that our mere existence in this world means that we do not have absolute privacy, but that does not also mean that we can never have privacy at all. For example (slightly exaggerated) it's illegal to put cameras inside a changi

Both. I value privacy above everything. Actors use stage names for a reason. Writers use pen names. We use screen names. Why? Privacy. I don't mean privacy as in "to hide", but rather to partition one's life. I don

Yes. Except that I have to use my computer, logged in, quite often, publicly (in front of others). I have resorted to using ad blockers on some sites to get around it (amazon, ebay, aliexpress, etc.). My question is simple, though: Why ca

by coreyp_1 9y ago
Well, they do provide a mechanism to exclude the purchases. I have also begun using ad blockers to hide them. The biggest issue, though, is that WM had linked and is showing offline purchases on my online account without my consent.

Very relevant story. I thought of linking to it in my original post, but it was already getting to be quite long. Thanks for including it here, though!

Just for clarification, I want to stress that I have never used the Walmart app. That is why it is unexpected.

I've never shopped off-line in an Amazon store, so I can't tell you. But, in regards to online shopping, on Amazon, I do exclude every single purchase from their recommendation engine and I have recently began to hide the recomme

Thank you for your response here. Any frustrations that I express are not directed at you personally. I was a cashier & CSM for WalMart a decade ago, before I went to college for CS (finishing up my PhD now). I'm angry because I
