I think your comparisons are misguided because you got the original claim wrong. The claim is not about "largest factory". It is supposed to be the "Largest footprint of any building in the World" [1]. That is, the squar

> you can smash a car with a sledgehammer, but that doesn't make the sledgehammer worth the value of the car. Perfect analogy, I'm putting that in my back pocket.

I don't think of the bounty as a reward for choosing not to break the law. Staying out of jail is the reward for not breaking the law; the $1000 is just a token of appreciation for someone that could have otherwise not bothered to repo

Besides the fact that this is a very contrived example, and that this is not how I would go about managing firewall rules (why wouldn't you use ports / services? You trust the security of your PC on just the name of the applicatio

I think I'm going to start using NOTA BENE in my source code comments just to be fancy. [EDIT] On second thought "HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE" would be much better ("Shame on whosoever would think badly of it")

Nothing to do with laziness. It's a matter of pragmatism. Some wild conspiracy theories are so out of touch with reality that engaging in correction or education (a rebuttal) is a futile effort and a complete waste of time. If I told y

Given the current climate of corruption, fraud and tax evasion in Spain, there is no problem in my book with publicly shaming offenders and fraudsters, specially when most of them are elite actors or millionaires. The problem is that the na

"Polyglot" might work better. I realize that these are not different languages that the library can use, but you could reasonably interpret it to mean that the library "speaks" SVG / Canvas / Javascript objects

Including publicly accessible database backups. I haven't seen such disregard for security in a very long time. For a "software security company" they sure are begging for their website to be hacked. Or maybe it is a honeypot

The larger point is that it shouldn't be up to the individual consumer to decide which employee criminal records are acceptable and which ones are not. Brands exist for this very reason: so the consumer can choose to trust / not t

I think you may be ascribing meanings to the word "interesting" and conflating it with "good, positive, benign" change. World War III breaking out would most certainly be considered "interesting" news, although

Not necessarily. Enums main application is to restrict a variable to a range of valid values. As to whether some other object may have one or more of these vales, enum makes no statement.

It would be much more helpful for everyone if you explained where you think I'm incorrect, rather than mindless downvoting. Having worked professionally with Javascript for almost 20 years, I would hate to miss an opportunity to learn

You're right, I didn't explain myself correctly. What I meant to say is that Javascript from one site is forbidden by default from operating on the contents of another site. So if you didn't copy the text from site A in the f

Eh? That is not something a webpage can do, for all sorts of reasons. HN can only paste what you have copied before, so I'm afraid this is most likely a case of user error.
