Would rather not. I've made scripts that take all the data possible, I'll probably post a dump and repro instructions some time later.

A similar flaw exists in the Denny's Canada app. Reveals usernames, email, full name and phone number. The API is entirely unauthenticated and account hijacking is very easy. The app is used for reward points that grant you free meals.

Moral outrage against hurting bulls always makes me laugh, as most people have no issue eating animals. And no, animals are not killed humanely. You can't kill something that wants to be alive humanely. And even if you could, no one bo

Could you repost your original comment please? People seem to think any and all outrageous tales where X told Y some shady Z was happening means schizophrenia.

Oh no they could also encode illegal data!

What do you expect from HN? US economic policy is pillage and plunder, yet the second another nation state does it we're supposed to care? Quite frankly I don't care whose exploiting the planet and robbing from us all. US or China

This is an issue with terms. None of those countries are socialist. Market socialism has been discussed at length by many theorists. A trustless AI market planner / coordinator could also be designed, especially with current tech. Proj

"let's just all be CEOs!" "If you're poor you have more motivation to innovate so get off your ass". Get some perspective and life experience. Maybe a basic understanding of how the current system is designed w

You don't understand the economic situation for most of the states, probably hard to see from your ivory tower. The UN recently toured Louisiana due to poverty concerns. Many places in the states are at or below 3rd world countries in

Beyond that the exploitation actually increases as people get more desperate. Lack of education on how to manage money etc. leads to people spending more money in these gig jobs than they could ever make back. Uber is a good example, most d

Well, considering socialist thought has always relied on automation getting rid of menial, dangerous and other similar jobs, probably socialism. There are many schools of thought for how a market can/could/would work under sociali

Exactly, read the essay length comment above from another user. They explained it well. The USSR was the only country that made a legitimate attempt at implementing it. Once Stalin got rid of the people interested in that idea it was all do

Definitely. Many modern workers are in worse standing than serfs or slaves. At least they had something to fall back on a protection.

Look at history. One day people will have had enough and they're going to go after you and people like you.

I think everyone is well aware of that. In a successful socialist state neither party elites or bureaucrats should exist. In a capitalist state or authoritarian system those are designed and necessary groups. Most people's objections t

Of course it's just FUD. Millions of dollars are spent every year to stop people from organizing and to break up existing unions. Finally someone is trying to help tech workers organize, expect more of this.

only person who bothered to point this out. A camera from the car doesn't even give the picture a human would see or what a million other sensors would see.

Saying "I'm not trying to do X" doesn't absolve you from doing exactly that. Nice try though. Not trying to be rude ;)

Uber shills and other defenders of straight up manslaughter by a machine (breaking first rule of robots), I thought it was the woman's fault and tooootaaallly not a failure on Uber's part. Hopefully this puts the final nail in the

It's not encrypted afaik at all, besides https but that would be up to the host of the instance. Where do you want the encryption to happen and how? Anyone can federate with you.

Nice defense of a terrible concept. Not. You're just ignoring legitimate complaints and saying "non issue". Enjoy your facebook overlords, but don't tell me to.

Agreed. This place seems to love most of those events however. Google execs have been very open about their desire to start a Google Island where they can conduct limitless experiments (on customers / 'citizens' I assume) awa

Great that all these articles are coming out defending Uber. Even if (it wasn't) her own fault, these make it sound like "well I mean she was stupid and therefore deserved it".

Really? I think he cared about himself with Gawker. Stop looking up to these people who consistently use you and apparently successfully trick you on their intentions.

So Thiel is playing 5d chess too? How about this: He has shitty political opinions and enough money to put them into action. Your wishful thinking is just delusional.

lol, noticed the same thing. Sadly its not just Facebook doing it. Every time a company goes under fire there's a ton of comments defending them or saying how it's a necessary step etc. etc. Sometimes its the "famous" us

Wasn't there just an article on here about a retired couple exploiting a game flaw with a purchasing pool? The lotto didn't care, it doesn't affect them. I think it's more likely people found a flaw in the game than chea
