To put this another way, though, just because I don't sanitize my database inputs on my website, doesn't necessarily mean your SELECT * command will not be considered a hack. Both are exploitation of unintended behavior.

"The smart contract is the authority" Not sure that's as clear as the article suggests (at least to the extent you are dealing with entities within the reach of U.S. law (which is a whole lot!)). See my thoughts on this here:

I agree the title should be 'is common ownership evil'... because as is clear from the article itself, large individual shareholders like Berkshire Hathaway will still have these hypothetical incentives. Picking on index funds mer

The irony here is incredible, given what the entire nation (much less tech) is discussing this right now. Inside Google, outside Google. The discussion is happening. To suggest otherwise is disingenuous. It appears what you are in fact a

He's a professor of law...at a business school. I'd try to evaluate the strength of his legal argument, but he does not cite...anything. My guess: He's trolling for clients.

"reasoned manner" != suggesting colleagues have inherent traits that make them less biologically suited to their work. I get it. Some of the points in the memo were reasonable. But just because the bread and cheese on your shit s

Think of it like copying twitter's database then launching a competitor. All tweets, users, etc. on both sites are the same up until the day the database is copied. Then the tweets, users etc. can be different depending on which site

> From a moral point of view: robots.txt states an intent, and intentionally ignoring that is not a nice thing. As a lawyer asked inane questions by friends, a common answer is: "I am no sure if its legal to do, but I'm absolut

Saying something is illegal under the CFAA isn't really a stretch, it's one of the broadest statutes ever written. If you have an employee handbook at your job right now and are using the internet for your own entertainment you m

Also interested, this would be excellent fit for a use case I have archiving certain important government websites. Btw, does the .viewport() option not work in the demo? I'm seeing a `TypeError: Failed to fetch` when I set one.

Lawyer/programmer here (US law). It's an interesting problem. Let's assume offer, acceptance, capacity, legality for a transaction. So question to me is, when do we have a contract (do we have a contract?) and what IS the con

Interestingly, (and despite an erroneous popular belief), prior to this there was no evidence Russia "hacked" the election other than social-media-enhanced "firehose of falsehood" propaganda. In other words, holy shit.
