Good tip, but it doesn’t even have to be a B2B attack. A sufficiently pissed off customer can order such an attack on a business that wronged them.

“Information… wants to be free.” says one of the administrators before taking a final drag on an unfiltered cigarette and flicking it off the deck. There’s a distinct Russian accent in his voice, from his days living under the Soviet Union.

This was my experience too. I just posted a comment here actually about there being no “real” content and was downvoted. What the hell? I don’t really get the vibe of the Bluesky community right now. How do you get seen or get popular? What

Is there a guide to having fun on this app? I got an invite, made an account and took a look around, and left. There’s no real content.

Yup. Hosted on a server farm aboard a repurposed cargo ship flying a pirate flag roaming international waters, spending its life evading the coast guard, using starlink satellites to provide connectivity to the rest of the world. The crew i

Somewhat, you can still see how the sky looks unnatural from the HDR effect which just ruins everything. The top is a more natural realistic sky. Shoreline is kinda weird too.

Sucks that it’s gone, but as a final aside, I never liked the name Nitter anyway. You better have perfect diction when talking about Nitter.

Most of the time I don’t carry any ID. My drivers license stays in the car where it belongs. I don’t buy packs of cigarettes or alcohol. It’s fine.

First of all, contrary to popular belief you don’t need physical ID at airports, you can go through another process to have your identity verified, it takes longer but it’s trivial. Second, any place that doesnt take Apple Pay is not a plac

You guys have wallets? Seems like the only possession you’d really need to do anything useful is your phone.

Well you’re free to have that opinion. But I wish for a day I could show you the raw power of pure SQL, you would never go back.

I’m wondering if some residential buildings will start incorporating luxury co-working office areas where remote workers can stroll into and work amongst other people who WFH in the same building. Kind of like a WeWork. A place for people t

ORM is a crutch. One of the things that has always separated good developers from great developers, is that the great developers are masters of database querying.

It’s fairly trivial to detect bad data, especially when you know what good data looks like. And once you’re in, they can still get useful data even if you lied.

The only reason we don’t take race as a factor in credit scores is because it is illegal, not because it wouldn’t lead to more optimized outcomes. If members of a certain race consistently don’t pay debts in a way that is statistically sign

You state that it makes credit more accessible to everyone else yet don’t really cite any reason why discrimination based on location is inherently bad. The truth is it isn’t. Anything that helps the lender feel they are reducing their risk

Those are myths that developers use to gatekeep the software industry. You don’t need a special mind to be a programmer, you just need to have a willingness to do this work. Which many people don’t.

Can you? Sure. Will you? We don’t know. It’s not unheard of for people to make lots of money and also avoid paying debts. And thus we need to know your payment history. Similarly, even if you have a poor debt to income ratio, it might n

What exactly is wrong with that? How else would you expect to quantify the risk of lending money to some foreign individual? Without such a score, the result is simple: you don’t lend money. If the score can includes factors that increase t

There is very low barrier to entry for being a developer. The only thing separating an unskilled individual and a developer is learning time.

I find it more interesting that the sole proprietor landscaper doesn’t just become a developer and make $900k a year. Extrapolate this to literally anyone making less than a developer.
