I first ran into qntm.org when someone reposted the story "The artifact was completely impenetrable to all forms of matter except living human flesh"[1] from the Oul's Egg section of Fine Structure. I couldn't leave the

Great site, but the "sell my project" and "find a cofounder" buttons at the top of the page give me a full PHP (well, Whoops-formatted) error listing with stack trace and offending lines of source code. You probably shou

Both require registration and are far more than just file hosts. The thing I like about rapidshare and other file hosts is that you can just drop a file on it and a minute later get a link. No thinking or effort required, no activation emai

I wonder if it's feasible to build a hosting site that strictly forbids (and actively removes) copyright infringing material, intended more for this kind of file hosting than for piracy. Monetising would be a challenge, since rapidshar

I don't get how anyone could think that Facebook, a platform that has literally defined a paradigm shift in the way people communicate across the planet, could be genuinely considered pointless. It's okay not to like Facebook, and

Well stated, and I completely agree. I think there's a balance to be struck between personal liberty and social responsibility and DPR's writings don't address that balance at all, not to mention his alleged actions. But ther

>Did you stop to think it might possibly be true before complaining that your own interests - having the trial be a showcase for libertarian ideals - may not end up being served by this particular man's prosecution? Nope. My opinio

You're missing my point: I don't want him to stand up in court and lecture on the nature of freedom and personal responsibility like something out of Inherit The Wind , I would just like to see him take the rap for what he (proba

I didn't suggest it was hypocritical, and nor did I suggest Ulbricht should feel compelled to defend the principles he wrote about. I'm saying that I wish he (or anyone in his position) would fight for those ideals, which are

I know he's fighting for his freedom and you can't begrudge a man for doing whatever it takes to beat a charge, but I really think this is such a cop-out defense and I wish he had the balls to act like the same person he pretended

Krebs is really well connected to the underworld, plenty of people pass him information confidentally, just like any other journalist. He also understands this field far better than most people, so although he probably did find them "e

Heuristics and progressive challenges are definitely the best option, but beyond scope for a lot of developers. Rate limiting is the simplest option, and the only real "major UX issue" I can think of is locking someone out of thei

I think what SecurityAlert is saying is that there isn't really any value in the repo: as others have pointed out, it's just a simple PHP script that iterates through a dictionary. It's just meant to bring attention to the fa

The difference is between a junkie quickly selling a bike to get a fix as fast as possible, and splitting the bike into components and knowing the right people to buy them. The junkie doesn't give a shit about tearing the bike down and

Christ Popsci is a terrible site to try and use from Australia. Trying to access any URL just gives a lazy redirect to the front page of popsci.com.au, with the helpful error message "Oops! Something went wrong. Please scroll down to f
