Depending on where you live, recording passing license plates could be very unlawful, and leave you open to significant penalties, so best to check before you set something like this up.

Client-side hashing of passwords does not provide any of the benefits of server-side password hashing, as the client-side hash of the password effectively becomes the password, as it's all that's required to authenticate. Client-s

Fair enough, but if you're advertising online with any of the major companies today, there's no way to do so effectively without instrumenting at least your landing pages and conversion pages with advertising tagging.

Many of them show ads for partners to generate ancillary revenue, which is a large source of profits for airlines. In addition, if they themselves _advertise_, they'll need to add tags to track attribution, conversions, etc.

To be honest, if you can get clients to reliably use SRI, that's probably better protection than either of our products. Yeah, our product could be classed a scanner, but there's no (little) risk of cloaking, as the network reques

Interesting approach, but doesn't using your product add another attack vector? Surely Enchanted's CDN will be a rich target for attackers. Full disclosure: I'm in private beta with a product that periodically loads productio

In France, the Mirage is sold as the SpaceStar, and the cheapest 1.2L option is €13,495, which is upwards of $15,000 USD. Motoring in general is very inexpensive in the States, so it's difficult to make meaningful a comparison on price

In Ireland, pickups are fairly uncommon (probably because of the weather), but 4x4s like Land Cruisers, Patrols, Defenders, Discoveries, etc are really common. The only category we don't have is what Americans call light trucks.

Yeah, they film those parts before the live recording and then show them on a screen to the audience to get reaction audio, and also so the audience has context for later live scenes. It's a surprisingly involved process.
