So instead they point the domain at Medium and any XSS attack on Medium can steal their customer accounts. I highly doubt either WordPress or Medium are susceptible to an XSS attack, but if I had to bet on one being safer I would bet on the

Seems similar to the users vs. customers (advertisers) situation that most websites have.

There are plenty of value ETFs for those who want stocks with low P/Es. Historically value stocks have even outperformed growth stocks. Also, the long term average P/E ratio is 15. Stocks haven't really had P/Es less tha

You could say the same thing about Longs. They're based on asymmetry of information where the person buying has more insight than the person selling. If the stock goes up then the seller will have effectively lost money (via opportunit

I think anything smaller than a four-door sedan will be pretty much dead on arrival in the U.S. for most people. I don't see any reason that Americans would start preferring small cars because they're electric.

I'm a big fan of spatial audio and I think this is really cool. I like that it doesn't make me use my mouse too much which makes it way easier to use on a laptop with trackpad. It would be nice if there were alternatives to login

Bad comparison, Amazon does much more than Elastic. How much does the Amazon Elasticsearch product bring in? That's what actually matters here.

Apparently they work at Brave. HN likes to tear into Brave whenever it comes up, so I can see how they might have that impression.

The MacBook Air used to have an i3 in the $999 model which now has an M1. So in that sense the M1 is comparable to an i3. They both serve the same market. There are also some high-end Windows laptops using i3s like the $999 Dell XPS 13.

I believe the idea is to raise interest rates so people will hoard more money reducing the supply in circulation.

According to Yahoo Finance, ZTNO has an average daily volume of about 10k shares ($2.5k) so it would be pretty easy to pump the price up. I could probably singlehandedly double the price if I wanted to. It's possible that the 1000% pri

I don't buy this. If I give someone a check (which has an account number on it) that doesn't mean they get to withdraw whatever they want from my bank account. What bank in the U.S. wont reverse fraudulent ACH debits?

I'm all for end-to-end encryption, but if you have 250 people in the chat I'm not sure it'll be very effective. It only takes one of those people to leak the messages. When you get into groups with hundreds of members I think
