Agree on the 50-100MB being minuscule. I don't even provision a Windows VM without 60G worth of space due to how bad it is on cleaning itself up/bloat. I wasn't even able to install Windows 7 a few months ago due to the WinSx

It won't take long if you guys get popular. I don't say this as a rip - I just have never come into contact with your CAPTCHA.

This is 100% accurate. There is no way to stop bots through reCAPTCHA, doesn't matter the version. It's honestly trivial and can be done with even the most basic web automation skillset. Rolling your own CAPTCHA is a fantastic opt

Have any services like AC or 2captcha integrated against you?

Yeah - and for some reason you got downvoted into oblivion for what was a really really simple/valid question. Sorry on that one =( Welcome to HN though - it's filled with really really smart people who want to be right about ever

People downvote when they disagree - plain and simple. If you're suggesting GIMP and Inkscape to someone coming from a pro-level career/background it shows complete ignorance on the topic. Lots of the time I see this sort of braze

Yeah - it's not about that. GIMP and Inkscape are incapable when it comes to professional graphics work. Broken tools cost my client money.

Err ... yeah - now you make it sound like I'm incapable of learning/trying new software. Yes I've tried those alternative solutions and they don't have the same sort of polish and workflow as everything else. Find me ONE

Yeah - me too. As someone who's always needed Photoshop and Illustrator in my workflow I have tried to use wine on multiple occasions with no success. Never once was I able to get it configured to the point of usability/stability.

That's the point - they won't respond to the "Western society" common sense because they'll just ignore facts and move the goalpost. Which is pretty convenient when you want to win an argument! In their eyes, they&#

It's a pretty horrible argument unless they come back through to actually explain what they mean. > Wealth redistribution doesn't work and never has. Is a HUGE sweeping generalization that has literally zero substance in a disc

Logical fallacies alert! "Slippery slope" leading right into a "hasty generalization" right there if I've ever seen one.

I absolutely love Andrew Yang's calm, "common-sense" demeanor. I got into him thanks to the Sam Harris podcast. His platform is hard to ignore for someone who's been around the block both in the bay tech communities and

Yep I agree. But here's the thing we all have lives and they're BANKING on that for this sort of abuse of the system. I think a lot of people A) don't know about the state insurance regulatory body; and B) just want the night

It's not even a surprise for me anymore when this happens (3-4 times in my life). They make more money this way and I figure a ton of people either just default on the debt or eat the expense because they don't understand. The wor

I guess I don't understand your statement as an actual real-world vector would look quite different than that. I may not understand what you're suggesting. Visiting a webpage and copy-pasting a string off of it is not a very good
