Love it, I'm still often surprised by how long a hop can be. e.g. I'm looking at one from France to Singapore. If you're looking to trace to something far away when doing a demo we've got servers in ~280 cities around th

Reminds me of how Yahoo! worked back in the day. All their display logic in PHP, with the hard business logic in c extensions.

MaxMind is very common, IPInfo is also good. https://ipinfo.io/developers/database-download If you want to test your IP blocks, we have servers on both China and Russia, we can try to take a screenshot from there to se

I don't think that in person voting with ID is a fool proof way to guarantee that only the people who "should be voting" get to vote. I also think you disenfranchise too many people when you do that. - People who work on oil

It is not easy for children to cut cardboard with scissors. I'd say that remains true at least until age 10. Some younger may be able to manage a small amount of cutting but would get tired quickly. I volunteer with scouts, kids aged 5

I have also felt the need to claim to be “SOC 2 Certified”. It’s made hard by so many vendors using that language, that it’s come to be expected. Do I want to start the sales call by explaining that the purchaser is wrong… or just say yes,

I think the “prove you’re human by hitting the button” attack is pretty clever. With the range of different ways captchas are presented today I can see it getting a good % of folks.

I think it’s a problem to lie to people about what’s happening with their “recycled” goods.

If you scrap a laptop you get a nice, auditable, chain of custody from the end user to the company that will certify it's been destroyed. If you sell someone their old laptop you need to ensure that it's actually been wiped, not j

My extension problem story is a bit different. We distribute an extension that makes it easy to switch between proxy servers for geolocation testing. I ran my worst client demo ever a few months ago. It was like our product simply didn’t wo

Why? Why do we have to? Why do companies get to take the creative output of humanity for free to make a profit? Why is it a national security issue? Because people who could make billions of dollars say so?

I think this was a really brave call for help from the writer. They needed help and they asked for it, from strangers!

I feel like polling twice a day (with the right etags) will beat exponential back offs. Exponential back off is great for a lot of problems, but irregularly updated blogs doesn’t seem like one of them.

Traditionally csrf tokens had two parts: something in a cookie(/server side data store that used a cookie as the id), and something in a form element on the page. So while an attacker could trick your browser to making a request to get

How sure are you that it's harmless? Campfire smoke is pretty bad for your lungs.

Just after a successful union vote in Quebec, Amazon decided to close all warehouses in the province. There’s lots of ways to send messages to workers. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7438078

Great. The stated goal of a lot of these companies seems to be “train the model on the output of humans, then hire us instead of the humans”. It’s been interesting that media where watermarking has been feasible (like photography) have seen

There’s several stories of open source projects being handed off to someone who seemed helpful, only to have them turn around and add malware months later. I completely understand a desire to shut things down cleanly, rather than risk somet

I run privacy badger. It doesn’t block ads, it blocks sites that seem to try and track you around the net. That suits my goals nicely. My problem isn’t being shown an ad beside content I’m consuming, it’s being tracked.

I run a product that has a free tier. There's one person with ~30 accounts, each with their own unique email address (gmail). Credit cards are a decent tool to stem the tide of people making lots of free accounts.
