You don’t need source to patch bugs like this lol, this is trivial to achieve by editing the binary. The same arguments would work against fixing a bug in literally any game on the platform, yet it seems to be frequently done.

That test seems to be from 2004, are the results supposed to be directly comparable with current ones?

The total body count for US military in the past 30 years is almost certainly less than the total body count for Russian military in the past 9 months. The vast majority of the deaths in middle eastern conflicts were caused by locals, not U

They could also just patch the ps2 game embedded in the emulator. Just like they’d presumably do if they found an exploitable bug in a native PS4/PS5 game.

There isn’t. Sell the car, use the money towards a new one.

And the outcome: Kik never released the NPM package they claimed they would. After NPM took over the name, the kik package got replaced with malware (????) https://www.npmjs.com/package/kik

Well no, US doctrine generally relies on precision strikes instead of anything you could reasonably describe as “flattening”. In all of the Middle-Eastern conflicts, civilian death tolls through direct US action have been very low.

Indeed, the Gulf war can fairly be described like that. As far as I can tell, none of the other US Middle Eastern conflicts can. But at least with the Gulf war it’s obvious that the coalition did the right thing, intervening to stop a war o

I don’t think the US was that deeply involved in any of those conflicts. Certainly not so much in the flattening part.

> US has flattened multiple Middle Eastern countries in the last few decades Which ones? As far as I know, US military operations in the Middle East have generally involved very little of anything you could call flattening.

Unless Agrawal plans to retire, this success will make a difference for him regardless of the immediate payout.

Agrawal is the big winner here, he managed to sell the company for an outrageous amount of money.

Place hosting a huge chunk of the world’s financial activity is also home to a huge chunk of money laundering, tax evasion, whatever. Crazy! How can it be?

EICAR is not supposed to trigger like this, but if you have access to the virustotal search API you can find some even smaller signatures that do trigger in this manner.

> Because they can control what happens to the content once it has been found. No? The current moderators work from home, what control can TikTok have?

Texas does indeed intentionally sell this data to a number of companies.

Imagine being this easy to fool. Tiktok isn’t special when it comes to collecting data.

Why would that be any different than the current situation? In fact, I think conducting this more publicly would have huge benefits. Perhaps you would attract more motivated staff, like pedophiles to go through CSAM?

$10/day is probably a lot for this, I wonder how much they could cut their moderation costs by just launching a public platform where anyone anywhere in the world can get paid to do moderation.
