It's nothing like that. Fizz did not want these people making admin accounts on their server. That's the bottom line. They failed to prevent it (forgot to lock their door), but in no way did they actively "give their stuff aw

Its not all or nothing. The law is literally decided on a case by case basis. Going to the home page of a public website is clearly authorized access. Creating admin users for yourself on someone else's server without permission is cle

The term "protected computer" is defined in the CFAA act[1]. Basically its any computer used by a bank, the federal government, or used in interstate commerce. This is just a quirk of the US system of government. If it doesn'

Yes, I think your description is perfectly reasonable. You could make a convincing argument that the researchers poked their head in to an open door. The fact that the law requires you to steal data or otherwise cause damages would support

by dahfizz 3y ago
The law is not a computer program. It sometimes relies on the ambiguity of human language, and uses human judges & juries to make reasonable decisions within that ambiguity. I think, in your scenario, you would have a hard time convinci

IANAL, but the law does not require you to "circumvent" anything[1]. Simply, anyone who "accesses a computer without authorization ... and thereby obtains ... information from any protected computer" is in violation of t

Scaling code isn't always as simple as rewriting your search function to be faster. What if scaling to millions of objects forces real tradeoffs for the hundreds of objects case? It feels like you're asking people to only create P

There is a really simple flow chart to figure this out: "Does entity X have a monopoly on violence?" If yes, they are a government. If no, they are not. Whether X is nice or mean, important or unimportant, is irrelevant.

> And isn’t this for the models that are under $500? Apple hasn't officially announced it, but the cheapest iPhone 14 is $800. So it's extremely unlikely they will have an iPhone 15 for $500 or less.

"megacorps have bad customer support" is a wildly different assertion than "megacorps are indistinguishable from government"

The cost of a usb3 module instead of usb2 is negligible. Thunderbolt is a reasonable upgrade for a pro model, but usb2 is completely unreasonable in 2023 unless the phone is <$500

Idk, I get 6 weeks of PTO a year and I make a hell of a lot more money than Europeans do. Just because the mandated minimum PTO is 0 doesn't mean everyone has 0 days PTO. Minimum wage is another example - the federal minimum wage is re

People are conditioned to ignore the droning sound of exhaust. It's ubiquitous and also not very directional. Horns, on the other hand, usually work to get peoples attention.

Care to explain? An iterator is a nice high level concept, but the CPU still has to do the &in + i + offset arithmetic. I don't see how replacing `i` with syntactic sugar changes the need to check for overflow.

I feel you. Some "guess" people are unable to just state what they want because they think it places a burden on the other person. But keeping your desires hidden creates an even larger burden! Just tell me what you want for dinne
