Yeah apologies if it seemed like it went too far, I definitely don't intend to claim anything about the story since it hasn't come out (and even when it does, I know little of the matter), thanks for the addition.

I think there may be a mis-understanding; what I mean is that in the very essence of reporting a scoop, they have already chosen to report that event above other events. So the reporting about the given scoop may be 100% fair and honest, bu

I don't think any service was done as far as alerting them something would be published because it's generally obvious: anyone even slightly-relevant to the story is contacted by a journalist and asked to share information beforeh

Sure, I cannot claim to defend Coinbase when I know nothing of the matter. But since news is inherently cherry-picked (after all, one cannot report on literally everything ), there will generally be an inherent slant to the information pro

Thanks for the quick update, that's reassuring. I would still be a bit worried myself of a potential ban if I did try to perform such examples (in my parent comment), as the proprietary nature of the platform can make such actions nece

Something that could be missing from this story is that they may have been in the official web client, but they may have executed custom code (for example, console JavaScript, an add-on, user-extension, etc), that resulted in this, since ob

My knowledge of this is that hCaptcha uses anonymized user data to ensure that the user doesn't look like a bot. What ReCAPTCHA did differently is not only not anonymizing data, but specifically trying to find out which person was pr

The sub-header of this blog post is "You can beat Google by putting privacy first", and at this point it's interesting to think of how many businesses have done exactly this for an entire range of Google products with succe

Yeah, that seems about right, thank you. But also when I meant 'slow', some times I would wait hours for a disk that was ~200GB, which seemed far beyond what is reasonably expected. It may have been an isolated instance and not

Love the response, happy to see that it's going well then! After reading a lot of feedback I got from 'You (probably) don’t need ReCAPTCHA' ( https://nearcyan.com/you-probably-dont-need-recaptcha/ ), it st

Worth noting that this title is primarily due to Cloudflare having switched to them from ReCAPTCHA, and Cloudflare is... well, relatively popular, to say the least. I'm curious what kind of data may exist on the experience of switching

Didn't think I'd get a response, but thank you! Appreciate it, it was chill and relaxing enough I kept it open for several hours this morning.

I've used Scaleway for several projects across many years, personal experience for those interested: Pros: - often free/unmetered bandwidth - very useful for some projects - relatively cheap prices - low downtime in general - dece

I see, I had misunderstood the extent to which they wanted to remain privacy-focused. Definitely can be a lot more work then when you can't outsource that stuff.

I actually am really enjoying the music, any chance anyone has a source for it?

I would probably start by looking for third-parties to help manage to problems, at least unless they all end up at the application layer. Throw it beyond Cloudflare and talk to them, and if they're not the right fit, try someone else.

Yeah, these articles are often pretty poor. People seem to love treating 'Science' as this magical all-knowing entity which we must bow to and never question, when we should treat it as the exact opposite in order to learn and sol

I think a lot of it is that we're just now starting to get to where we need to be as a civilization for anti-aging to start to become something that not only sounds feasible, but is feasible. I've noticed interest steadily increas

Yes, this is true and worth mentioning in some cases, as some commenters have noted. Although as far as my knowledge goes, almost all cases of issues are where the patient is taking either an absurd amount (>10x what they should be), or

It's worth noting that vitamin D has a lot of high-confidence but low-effect results going for it, including a lot of strong meta-analysis over many health outcomes. What I mean by this is that it usually seems to conclusively either d

I see how one can come to this point of view, but I think there is a perspective missing here about just how lonely and miserable some people are. When you have never had a partner, when you have never been hugged and told you're loved

What I dislike about a lot of these potential fraud analysis techniques is that if a group that was performing fraud was aware of them, then they would simply perform the fraud 'properly' such that the given technique(s) don'

On the surface it does, but many more users will have to complete the captcha, since they cannot judge your 'humanness' by your Google cookies+account. Although I like services like hCaptcha a lot more myself, it may be possible t
