Both major app stores have similar ads. I don't see the difference. Maybe they could provide a URL and QR code and go straight to the site without depending on third parties.

Spotify and the music industry are better, but I don't think the TV and movie industries are much better than sports. Look at this official guide of where to watch Pokemon, it looks like satire. https://www.pokemon.com/

Exactly this. You want to turn off bot blocking on all endpoints that are intended to be used by bots. Really you should probably turn it off for just about everything on your site unless you are worried about scraping.

The idea is that this can be extended naturally to may situations. Warranty claims, insurance claims... If you just add a fine with a threshold it is actually much harder to pick the right fine amount. This way it has some sort of degree of

Customers should be able to bill them for wasted time. If you are calling to cancel you can bill an hourly rate. Make it some multiple of minimum wage. Then services will pop up to have someone call and cancel for you, then bill the company

And Big Capitalism doesn't give two shits. They drew some lines and people on your side of the line on average cost more than they produce (based on their numbers, which are likely not reliable) so you get banned.

This isn't a great example because buildings do have accidents like fires and floods. If you need business continuity you do plan on having multiple working locations. Of course an accident is different than just randomly terminating s

All of them, more or less. There are a few marker bits but the rest are pure data. There is no error correct or redundancy.

I don't think I agree with the author here. While if I was shipping a home router I would probably include a stateful firewall by default to match expectations from NAT I think the choice not to is pretty defensible. 1. The average con

This is actually why I moved off of Facebook Messenger. It started blocking random links I tried to send so I moved to something E2E encrypted.

This is a strange set of changes to me. Most of them seem to have little to no benefit. None of them seem worth the migration effort except for "policy for non-existent subdomains". There are two changes I would like to see but th

IIUC this is based on a pretty simple fingerprint of the executable. So a motivated attacker can produce different builds that break the signature resulting in each build being "new" and being allowed by default. This is different

You are missing the point. You expect that you are interacting with the bank but the average person has no way to verify this. They are just conditioned to type their bank password into a random site after their credit card number. A mali

My banks ask for a password in that iframe. Not some type of one-time-code. Although I have mostly Mastercard cards, so maybe Mastercard just screwed it up? If it was just an OTP why would the iframe even be necessary? The main site could j

Except that this runs in an iframe with no way to tell that it is actually your bank. So we are teaching the users to enter their Bain passwords into random websites. (Actually your password manager might fill in the password as it knows th

But if the attributes are exactly the same then the cookies replace each other. So this isn't a general mechanism for representing a list. Not to mention that the way to delete a cookie is sending a replacement cookie that expires in t

The current implementation is writing out the DB to `/tmp` then reading the resulting file back and writing it to the column. So on the bright side updating 1k rows takes the same amount of time as updating one row. On the other hand e

I think it may be useful if you are carefully reviewing the tests generated. Basically the robot is saying "Did you know that your code had this behaviour? If so let's lock it in" In many ways this feels similar to mutation t

> Less nodes doesn’t really mean “faster”. The most important is the height of the tree. In isolation of a single access yes. But when frequently accessing an index overall size can be very important for cache hit rate.

I think its absolutely good for open source. At the very least it is something that future people can point to and show that an open source app doesn't block success. Sure, it would be better if it was an open source app for an open so

What I want is the LLM to be the last layer of filtering. Basically I want to take the "regular" search results and ask the LLM if they are actually a good match, and downrank them if now. So instead of getting a list of pages tha
