Wow. This is just silly. The issue is executing untrusted JavaScript... Why would the developer put untrusted Javascript inside the onclick handler? If writing vanilla JS, this would basically never happen. The use of onclick is ridiculousl

This would probably help a little bit in terms of security but you would still depend fully on your password manager for access to various services. Personally, I don't like the dependency aspect of password managers. I hate having to

I expect that for truly innovative research, it might flag the innovative parts of the paper as a mistake if they're not fully elaborated upon... E.g. if the author assumed that the reader possesses certain niche knowledge. With softwa

I've repeated over and over that password manager services are a horrible idea. Trusting a single service with all your passwords is worse than using the same password for all services (of the same sensitivity level) IMO. The ideal sol

The direction of web standards is problematic. Getting overengineered. CSP is retarded. Trying to prevent all possible security vulnerabilities by removing functionality is just dumb and an impossible task. It's just converting a simpl

> While HTML offers onclick handlers to buttons, these are often disallowed outside of demos or tutorials due to Content Security Policy (CSP) rules. WTF. Is this for real? This attribute has been around for decades. It used to be the on

With this interpretation, he'd have to be funding the problems and then presenting his ideas as the solutions. I think a lot the political problems which make Thiel's ideas appealing arose during the Biden era and given that Thiel

Thiel is remarkably spot-on about a lot of things. He seems to be early in on every major economic, political and cultural trend.

This was an immersive experience. I was trying to make sense of what I was seeing, putting my face closer to the screen to take a good look at the creature... Then WHACK! paywall! It hit me before I could understand what was happening. I ca

It's a complex situation. On one hand, I understand why it's not right to buy a specific cryptocurrency which will disproportionally benefit a specific set of people. But on the other hand, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are pro

Sure some of the process they use can be reused but the actual social engineering aspect must be tailored to the individual.

I'm shocked at how insecure most software is these days. Probably 90% of software built by startups has a critical vulnerability. It seems to keep getting worse year on year. Before, you used to have to have deep systems knowledge to t

Because most founders who made it in the field, did so at a young age and so they are biased to view old people who didn't "make it" and are still coding as incompetent even though it has nothing to do with reality. Reality i

The hard part is a lot of people say they will pay for stuff but they won't... They just want to present themselves on social media as being the kind of person who would pay for that. Once put in front of a paywall, a whole bunch of do

I hate how complexity has become the norm in the industry. Instead of having simple systems with code and modules that are simple, fit-for-purpose and fully auditable, the approach has been to have insanely complex systems and then to add s

Wild to think that North Korea could assign whole teams of people working 24/7 to trick just one person into clicking a couple of buttons.

Great point. I saw a short YouTube video the other day in which a lady was describing how saving $100 a month and investing it in an index fund would turn into $1 million after 50 years or so... The numbers seem to add up but this strategy

It's not the government's job to take money from Paul to give to Peter. I fundamentally object to this. I take the view of Austrian economics. IMO, all the corporate monopolies we have today are caused by excessive government mone

The way I see it, the excuse for moving to a fiat currency was that the rich people owned all the gold and social mobility had stagnated, so they decided that an elastic money supply would provide some social mobility and could go towards r

It was fun not knowing who was calling. Also, when you were calling, you didn't know who would be answering. Like you might want to talk to your friend but their mother or father answered. It would create unexpected interactions.

Not all blockchains use a lot of energy. It is unethical to suggest so without differentiating Proof of Work from Proof of Stake.

Of course the increase in rat numbers in cities is caused by climate change. As the ice melts due to the seething heat caused by global warming, the melted ice-water from the arctic chills the air throughout the entire planet and so the rat

Obviously I'm referring to the big ones. That said, most startups aren't corporations. A lot of founders wait until money start coming in before footing the registration costs.

Rewind 5 to 10 years, there were a lot of open source tools which gained adoption within startup or hobbyist communities. As some of the startups grew and merged with corporations, they seems to have slowly abandoned certain tools and softw
