I think the parent is more asking, "what are the chances that her religious affiliation played a role in SE's decision?" It's a fairly loaded question.

Are you sure that's accurate? When I downvote, I receive -1. When I get downvoted, I believe I receive -5--or, at least, something with greater magnitude than -1.

This is a very valid point, and there is even anecdotal evidence that operations we expect to be deterministic may not always be so.[1] Just because ADD works as documented in most scenarios doesn't mean we can verify that it will alw

Those get fairly expensive if you have a lot of requests. Page rules are free if you only need a few, though.

Good point--I tend to forget that. The rather vague article seems to indicate the actual SMS content is being sent to the SIM, though. Why is that?

by zenexer 7y ago
Google and Apple can't do anything to mitigate this. Edit: The following is incorrect. SIM cards are self-contained computers. Among other things, they're responsible for encrypting and decrypting communications between your p

The only implications of which I’m aware are in relation to web servers that serve the same content regardless of the Host header. It is then possible for someone to log into and interact normally with the website, but the cookies will be

That has no relation to the use of CNAMEs—this problem exists even if CNAME records aren’t used. If “z” is a public suffix, x.y.z can set and read cookies from x.y.z and y.z, but not z. Whether this is possible has nothing to do with whethe

It has always seemed like Apple has granted exceptions to this policy for any influential entities outside of the IT industry as long as they don’t compete with Apple. Apps for brick-and-mortar organizations, such as banks and retailers, ar

Judging by the replies to this, there seems to be some confusion about what’s being referenced. heavenlyblue is describing Apple’s crackdown on Facebook’s Project Atlas from Facebook’s perspective. Facebook developed a very intrusive app a

The problem here is that your job is then defined at your birth based on the genitalia with which you're born. That's more or less arbitrary. What if a female is better able to contribute to society as, say, a doctor? What if a

It's pretty difficult to reach a human if you don't pay a ridiculous extra amount each month for support--and even then, they're rarely able to assist with actual bugs. They just assume everything that's wrong is your m

Does Twitter even permit that? If I recall correctly, it forces SMS 2FA. In this case, Jack's account would've been compromised regardless because the tweets were sent via a third-party application that he had authorized to use h

Apple is a patent licensor for both and therefore has monetary incentive to discourage free alternatives for either.

by zenexer 7y ago
Apple partially owns the patents for MPEG4-AVC (H.264) [1] and HEVC (H.265) [2]. VP8 (WebM + WebP), VP9, and AV1 are threats to Apple's business because they're royalty-free. Apple wants to force companies to continue licensing

I use JSON streams a lot with command line tools. Keep in mind that it’s limited in that each object must consume a single line. This allows you to recover from syntax errors in a single entry; each line is a fresh start. Have you considere

They’re fairly useful in applications that use numeric IDs. For example, if I’m using SQL, and I have a table with an AUTOINCREMENT primary key, I’m going to have a lot of numeric IDs. If I want to reference these in a config file of some k

To clarify, these are images that you have to download and host yourself. This isn’t a service offered by Microsoft; they’re providing the free license and tools, but you still have to have your own hardware to run the VM.

That depends very much on the circumstances. With decent insurance, they'll pay for almost all of it. Depending on your location, the state, federal government, or hospital may be required to foot the bill. If the alternative is bein

I interpreted the analogy very differently. Let's say someone ran a service which spun up Windows Virtual Machines, of any model, which were not genuine licenses, for the sake of "security research." Legal? Here, I see &quo

Well, the need to take a snapshot--or rather, the activation issue--is described at one point in the license as a "bug". It's a little confusing, but from talking to the maintainer of the VMs on GitHub, it sounds as though t

I'm countering the analogy, not the case of Corellium. You're right: the analogy used here misses the point; it's not the same as what Corellium was doing. The analogy is harmful because it implies that it's unreasonabl

In that case, it's true for both Twitter and email. The exact same network is used.

If things go south, in the US, yes, you can be sectioned. That probably shouldn't be seen as a negative, though. You'd typically be taken to an ER where a qualified medical professional would talk to you and decide whether you&#

Of course there are key differences; however, the analogy provided by the OP doesn't really fit here. Let's say someone ran a service which spun up Windows Virtual Machines, of any model, which were not genuine licenses, for the

In the US, at least, this isn't true. ISPs aren't considered common carriers--you can thank Ajit Pai for that. If it were true, it would be true for both Twitter and email. Messages from both systems hop between neutral provider
