Absolutely. Fire won't be put out unless someone shows exactly how much there is...

I'm not sure what fire has been put out here. IMO, a more convincing proof for the usefulness of this approach would be that it allows to find whole new classes of exploitable vulnerabilities that can then be corrected ahead. That&#x27

I think YouTube cares quite a bit about clickbait. Just looking at its recommendations vs everything else I see online, it seems fairly tame in terms of clickbaitiness. Check out the trash labeled "powered by Outbrain" across the

When they removed public dislike counts, I don't think a visible dislike counter has been visible next to the thumbnail. You'd still have gotten clickbaited for the same reasons back then.

Advertisers have always had ways to block likes and dislikes. The problem was that dislike counts were abused by people driving dislikes on videos for inauthentic reasons (YouTuber supports cause X, we disagree with X, therefore let's

I disagree. Data center ops have been completely reinvented by the devops practices. Sure it's a bunch of sysadmins at the start, but a bunch of sysadmins really trying hard to take themselves out of the loop so that things can scale.

AT&T, Comcast are great examples of companies that have tried to expand into online video distribution, and completely lost out to companies with better software management practices. Both of these companies had a huge leg up 10 years a

We haven't told ourselves that shipping garbage in short cycles is the only way to do things. The market has pretty much determined that companies that over invest in formal software design activities lose out competitively in the

My understanding is that precooked crustacean meat is a byproduct of shipping loss (sh*t this crab looks like it's not going to make it, let's cook it before it dies). So yeah, not the freshest.

This kind of metric is tricky to interpret: one where both numerator (likes etc) and denominator (followers) are "good things", so that a ratio going up can mean good or bad. This person is testing just one piece of content, but i

Based on the contents, there's a typo... It should read "still love netcat"

Looks fun, but who in their right mind would plug this into anything other than an air gapped sandbox ?!

Well no, if you believe that airlines as an industry are simply responding to incentives in a competitive marketplace, passengers are also responsible for being so much more sensitive to ticket price than to legroom...

I'm talking about simple stuff like authorizing additional keys, enabling remote lock/unlock without a stupid subscription, etc. The rom on the car is way less of a concern to me than whatever the person had to drink or their road

In the US, companies have essentially two lawsuit survival strategies: don't communicate anything to customers until it has been reviewed by an array of lawyers, or communicate without review and without creating a record.

A lot of this tech seems to consider the legitimate owner of the car doing DIY repairs as "malicious" as well, unfortunately.

This is a great idea, but I have questions * Is there a process for upstreaming this into the mainline language, or is this essentially JaneStML now? * Why choose such an obscure word as `exclave` to indicate return-value optimization? How

TSA gates at most large airports that I've been at use backscatter and can detect objects that you carry. A rod anywhere on you would be seen.

In the past quarter, TSA intercepted an average of 16.8 firearms per day, 93% of which were loaded. I'm quite happy with that many less guns on my flights (imagine what it would be like if there was no check - this is just from people

I'm quite sure that if you carried the same in luggage or on your body (as opposed to _in_ your body), it would get confiscated.

It says it will go up to 180 mph... am wondering how the ride feels at that speed. Open water areas can be a pretty turbulent place in terms of wind, and I imagine that flying so fast and so low would feel a bit scary when the wind swings y

Sometimes (not sure if this what happened here) an organization that works well oversells growth to its investors, and the only way to reach growth is to juice metrics in the most mechanical way possible, destroying what made the organizati

Or just type a space in the query (example zip). Search engines know what you mean by that.

by yafbum 3y ago
Zip isn't a file transfer protocol, it's a file compression format and popular file extension. Still, I don't understand a scenario in which this is going to be abused for exploitation.

How is this different from any other TLD?
