you can still send photos over MMS. and you can also add your plumber or realtor on whatsapp. there's no reason not to. it's just a messaging app, i've got all kinds of customers and vendors on my whatsapp.

i thought that was the main flaw with the DMCA - it actually does require you to obey all properly formatted and submitted DMCA notices, regardless of how obviously fraudulent they are, until a court decides they're not fraudulent.

So as a reader the only way to see any content is to purchase a book? i love self-published books and back a few authors on patreon that i've found on royalroad, but there's not a chance i'd be buying books from unkown self-p

does this also account for the next time a petrostate dictator decides to stage an invasion of one of it's neighbours and cause the price of gas to rise 77%?

nobody's asking security researchers to work for free. the people asking security researchers to work are paying them for that work. if you're doing un-asked-for work, you can't expect to get paid

my favourite is "your docker registry is publicly accessible" yeah man, i know that. i made it public. i eventually had to take it down, just to stop the flood of beg bounties telling me about it.

it's not about blame, it's about responsibility. "identity theft" implies that your identity is a thing that can be stolen from you, and you need to be responsible for preventing it from being stolen. instutions should

yeah, i flipped through the samples without even realizing it was changing anything in the code sample box until i got to the radon variant. those other variants are not nearly different enough to really convey information.

your comment seems to be making the implication that government-mandated roots will be restricted to their own CCTLD. is this true, or will Chrome and firefox be forced to ship a CA that allows Hungary to sign certs for whatever .com they

this is really not "malicious compliance" it's just regular old non-compliance. publishing an absurd range doesn't satisfy the requirements of any pay transparency laws.
