You can easily rate-limit an authentication attempt, to make brute-forcing account access practically impossible, even for a relatively insecure passwords. How would you do that for the URLs? 5 requests to site.com/[256chars] which all

Even if there are a lot of people torrenting, would they actually spend money if they weren’t pirating it? Seems to me that someone pirates something when they weren’t willing to pay for it in the first place. Odds are, they might consume s

Given that Google has honored robots.txt for many years, not sure this is true. It mostly means that blocked sites might not show up on the biggest, most trustworthy platforms. If these AI platforms become a big way people consume content f

It's very different from normal entities being in debt, and likely not the same decision makers involved as those discussing software practices.

Spanish high speed rail is incredibly reliable and normally on time. Not really a concern.

The comment is questioning whether the interactive internet, where webpages can be computer programs instead of just documents, is a good idea. That’s a pretty broad claim! Complaining about modern JS is a different story, and it’s a pretty

I would say that a lot of the economy feeling bad is due to shrinkflation and jacked prices which happened during Covid that will never return to “normal.” Even if inflation is normal this year, it will still feel bad compared to recent mem

Well, every model is altered to conform to an agenda. You will train it on data, which you have personally picked (and is therefore subject to your own bias), and you'll guide its training to match the goal you wish to achieve with the

If they should have the right to unionize, then someone needs to enforce that right. Or the company with far more power (Starbucks) will retaliate so hard that the right, in practice, does not exist. I thought this country was about protect

Building trains is my favorite part of Factorio :) Satisfactory trains are fun because of the 3D designs for the railway you can do (stations, bridges, etc.) I think Factorio 2.0 (with the new space age expansion) will fix all this. The mos

I halfway agree with the first part, and I like the statement by the maintainers. But, I think other libraries have done this too. React is a great example. It prioritized making the reactivity model really strong, and everything else is le

I've been thinking about this one, but I'm not sure it makes sense. Let's say that Alaska flew half Airbus. And let's say half their 737 fleet is MAX's. (E.g. a quarter of the fleet, same number they have today.) An

The simple reason is that dense areas are more expensive, so there is clearly a lot of demand for it, even if you dislike it. As to why, it's really all about tradeoffs. If you live in a nice house with land, you'll be far from ci

The analogy is off in a meaningful way: you're using a "fake ID" to get the locksmith to give you a copy of your own house key because the locksmith won't accept your real ID. No prosecutor is going to throw the book a

True, but at the same time, it’s a very small attack vector. I’d say the vast majority of users could really care less that an iMessage is decrypted for a brief period in-memory on some Mac VM in a data center. You place your trust in 3rd p

So many variables, but it's easy to spend $260M in 18 months at a decently sized company. If they have 1200 employees, that's about $12k per employee per month. So you could easily spend that much just on salary + benefits for sof

Most online stores immediately ask for your location (or know a good estimate via IP or ad tracking) anyways. Or ask you to "search for the nearest location." So there is already a lot of data they could use.

I mean, everything is "better". If cameras are important to you, you now finally have a bigger sensor that allows for 2x zoom at around the existing quality. The chip is faster and more efficient, so battery will get better too. I
