You're talking about stuff (presumably) happening in the US, but GDPR is an EU law. The regulatory landscape in the EU is rather different. The law also says that fines must be "proportionate". It is not, as a general rule, t

Loneliness damages peoples' mental health, too. Is there some chance that, for mental health, the ordering goes "in-person interaction > social media interaction > no interaction at all"? Then of course if you compare s

by twiss 6y ago
Transactions are what makes Bitcoin useful (in theory) for "normal people". Thus it is fair to evaluate the entire Bitcoin network in terms of how much energy it takes versus (i.e. divided by) how many transactions it handles.

I see, fair enough. Thanks for the explanation.

Myeah. Here is another example of Google misunderstanding postMessage and mistaking a vulnerability in a website for a vulnerability in a competing "Chromodo" browser, and making a big fuss about it: https://code.google

I see, thanks for the context. Perhaps, if changing the hash is the primary use-case, we could allow only that (in the `location` setter). Alternatively - browsers have been breaking various things in iframes recently (by e.g. isolating coo

Myeah. I was aware that `WindowProxy.location` exists, but not that `WindowProxy.frames` exists. To me, that's the more surprising part - as `window.frames[0].location` should indeed be writable, but I feel like accessing `window.frame

It seems there's a typo in the quote, but the following indeed works in both Chrome and Firefox: window.frames[0].frames[2].location = "https://example.com"; Even if `window.frames[0]` is cross-origin.

The missing header just means that docs.google.com can be embedded in an iframe, I'm not surprised about that. But the parent window still shouldn't be able to access the contents of that iframe. And in fact this doesn't work

The most surprising part to me is that this works: window.frames[0].frame[0][2].location="https://geekycat.in/exploit.html"; It's expected to me that you can change `window.frames[0].location`, since y

No, that's fine :) It wasn't clear to me from your original comment whether you were hashing passwords, apologies.

In addition to the sibling answer of "use a framework"; if you simply stick passwords in a database, and the database gets stolen, you've now leaked your users' passwords. So you should hash the passwords, and they shoul

That's not what happens in practice - a government has a lot more negotiating power, and less skin in the game, than individuals who need the treatment. Governments can and do sometimes refuse to pay treatments that are too expensive.
