I wasn’t doubting the legality of the investigation itself, just what she will find.

I don’t get it. Seems like purely a stunt. What plausible legal violation could there have been? If you want to and a company indirectly involved wouldn’t the gun manufacturer be more liable?

This is how almost every con works. The people who fall for advance check scams think they’re getting easy money and the greed clouds their judgement. It doesn’t absolve the perpetrator.

In 1999? I mean, I did it, but I didn't think it was easy. Every single step was harder then than it is now.

That's because someone did the work of setting up a server for you, configuring the services, and issuing FTP credentials. That part is now a whole lot cheaper and easier and more secure. It doesn't get much easier than signing up

It's never been easier to host a webpage than it is today. You can host 100s of student sites on a $5/month VPS. The free tier of AWS/GCP/etc are extremely capable. There are free services like Wix and Glitch that let yo

What would you say? Making it personal I don't think helps anyone.

If people got called up all the time that might be a problem. But it'd be impossible to justify the cost of flying extra players around, so the practice would simply end if that were a concern. I don't think many people with a onc

Doesn't pretty much all closed-source proprietary software prohibit reverse engineering and redistribution?

High cost isn't the same as high margin. If patent fees were a significant expense it'd be in their interest to say so even if the margins were already high (which I very much doubt)

"Why aren't prices of large eink panels cheaper?" is a question that can only be answered with opinions until someone actually does it. Seems like the opinion of someone actually in the business of selling large eink panels s

PKI solves other problems but not this one, where people wanted a valid test but the testing facility cheated. Invalidating historical tests isn’t particularly valuable. After they’re more than a few days old the result rarely matter nor be

What problem does revoking an old covid test solve?

by eli 5y ago
PKI doesn’t really help here. The test results weren’t hacked. Essentially an authorized issuer of certificates was itself a bad actor.

I’m just not a big fan of laws where just about everyone could arguably be breaking them in some small way. That’s a lot of faith to put in regulators to always act honorably. Vaguely worded laws can also lead conservative corporate counsel

It’s a great idea but my understanding is that they have not yet defined the term. And that sounds very hard to define.

A Mac Mini running regular MacOS doesn't fit the bill?

Would an endpoint management system like Jamf let you enforce that policy?

1) Banning speech isn’t ok just because it’s speech you don’t like. 2) That is a gross mischaracterization of the intent and actual effect of the bill.

I'm not sure there are even many SMTP servers that fully follow the RFC. Embedded comments in an email address is a weird feature.

It misses the very common mistake of typing a comma instead of a dot. Otherwise, yeah, most people would be better served by a library that detects domain typos like https://github.com/mailcheck/mailcheck than spending

One is "regulating" speech in schools only indirectly and with a gentle nudge that can be disabled entirely by school districts or simply ignored by teachers and pupils. The other is directly regulating speech in schools by force

> This is obviously a huge threat to CloudFlare’s entire business model and it totally makes sense that they want to bury this. Protecting origin servers is hard. Nothing unique to CloudFlare about that. If you follow their set up docu

Or better yet: use Cloudflare Tunnel to connect your origin to Cloudflare without exposing any inbound ports. I think you can also have Cloudflare present a client certificate that you can verify before responding.

If, say, Ron DeSantis was in charge of the system and was using it to discourage inclusionary language that would bum me out. But that hypothetical is still several orders of magnitude less serious than the current reality of banning the di
