I used to run a forum hosting service. After a while you try everything. Honeypot fields, incorrect field names, etc. You will notice things like CSRF tokens generated by one IP and used by another. When stuff fails, they send 100 real people and record what worked, and it fixes their script. It’s all pretty automated. IP reputation can be helpful for some players, but most snowshoe.

Spam attempts would grow exponentially. So every time we cut it down by 90% via one of these tricks, it only gave us a bit of time.

None of this stops the determined troll though.. they can have all day to manually add offensive content. Shadow banning was good for this (1999) and group shadow banning was the best (bifurcated forum posts so all the banned people saw each other, but no one else did). Ah, memories. So good.
Something 20+ years of development experience has taught me is that developers vary a lot. People who went to Ivy League schools can be amazing and they can be awful, and the same is true for every other dev who went to a 'lesser' college or didn't get a degree at all. Certificates don't tell you much. Output is what matters. You should judge Protocol Labs on what they build rather than where their employees went to school.
This is high quality product that produces high quality media and, most importantly, it is a breeze to use (proof: https://msha.ke/ronilan/)

However, “Make Websites from a Phone” is an illusive target. I’ve had a startup circa 2013 with a somewhat similar focus. It got to a working MVP (sort of) and VC term-sheet before it imploded. All that’s left is this video (https://vimeo.com/68029789). There have been multiple other teams/products trying to crack the same nut, generally without success, or with success that is significantly smaller than what the desktop platforms (wix, strikingly etc.) have had in same time period.

The “You Only Link Once” and Instagram focus are a smart angle. Hope this one flys.

Thank You Trust Repair for helping me increase up my credit score to 830 Excellent score, I was about applying for a loan to get somethings fixed but my poor credit score got me denied several times. Luckily I found Trust Repair on a social media, he did a complete beyond practical job without traces. He help me pay off my bank account debts and credit card debts also, so happy right now because it’s surprisingly amazing to ascertain such a result after several faulty experience. This is his contact; +1 407 917 2120, or write him via email TRUSTREPAIRSERVICE At WORKMAIL DoT COM. Don't hesitate to hit him up, he will surely put a smile on your face.
Yeah, I don't get what his "team" of 1 dude's motivation is. The top line is about the environment too, with nothing concrete about how this OS is supposedly better for the world. What is this, are Instagram hipster influencers making Linux skins now?

I am fairly certain that ReCAPTCHA does many things behind the scenes. It probably is using webGL and many other browser features to "fingerprint" your browser, OS, graphics card, sound card, etc. This is simple by just for example drawing some polygons in the background then reading the frame buffer, because different graphics cards / drivers may output different buffers slightly. Then it can store that fingerprint to show you less ReCAPTCHA in the future if you successfully pass the first one. This will also link that fingerprint with all other websites which use google analytics and now they have your full browsing history. The TOS may specify they are not _sharing_ that information, but they can do whatever they want internally to fully mine that data.

Moderators on reddit reserve the right to censor their subreddits. This is not censorship by reddit, this is censorship by the users who created that community. Some communities use it quite effectively like askscience and askhistory to limit responses to certified experts, others use to enforce some minimum standard of content and to deter shitposting, while some use it to control the narrative and shape opinion.

In any case, to suggest Chinese influence on reddit censorship, either the reddit admins are doing the censorship, or the Chinese influence is somehow reaching the mods.

No one has made a good case for that that I've seen.
Oh wow. I'd used /analyze before but I hadn't realized it takes SAL into account. I thought it just does limited extra analysis without SAL. Thank you!
No, that's how it used to be. Now with ReCaptcha v3 the recommend you load it on all your pages, not just the forms you are trying to protect, so they can predict friend vs foe more accurately.
Quoting my self from a comment on another article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19468090#19468699 :

> AFAICT—and again, I'm just someone who read about this stuff in magazines as a child—this kind of management-theory/theory-of-the-firm study and experimentation really was much more prominent in the public eye twenty-five or more years ago, and has faded from popular awareness since; maybe because the work itself is less common, and less influential on institutions, nowadays too. I think that's a pity, because it seems relevant to some supposedly-new things you see generating excitement nowadays, especially in the vicinity of the tech industry. For example the whole Valve structureless-or-notionally-structureless-organisation effort is probably pretty well prefigured in the work of a generation of management consultants who looked at and tried out all kinds of institutional structures or absences of structure beside the traditional corporate model, generally in pursuit of much the same ends—more innovation, more amenability to change, better decision-making—and with similar mixed-to-disappointing results.

I find it weird to hear this kind of thing discussed without reference to previous research.
It doesnt have to be botnets. Proxylists are enough to enable that attack for almost anyone. Pornsites have had that problem for decades and their solution was captchas, which led to OCR on the attacker site which resulted in stuff like recaptcha. Since you are attacked by one guy who makes a focused effort you are just causing him more effort for the initial setup with the other solutions mentioned not actually stopping him. It sucks but it still beats the alternatives.
Not for a lot of apple devs it isn't (To develop for Apple you need a mac). And remember this was presented to a room full fo apple developers at WWDC. Basically saying "you aren't getting a machine this time, we made one for creative professionals. Of which there are none here". That explains the gasps at the prices.
I found some useful public apis here. Now I have some idea to built something on top of them. Thanks for creating this awesome site.
Sure output matters, I agree. I'm just saying, only ~one programmers working in their engineering has an impressive track record. And ofcourse, self taught developers at random companies can be amazing, but for a company "evolving the web" and 300 Million in the bank, they have hired almost no nationally recognized experts, and theyre greater developer base is not made up of people with 20 years experience. But rather a bunch of developers who have been coding for 2-3 years.

I have used other (commercial) RPA vendors before, I do not understand why it took so long for a Python RPA platform to be developped. The commercial 'graphical flows' are such bullshit. They claim to be business friendly so that your average manager can use it to automate tasks, but in reality it sucks and just creates vendor lock-in. Looks like Automagica still has some work to do on the cross-platform area but at least it is nice to see Python code based RPA.

It isn't just Freeman's article. There's a whole academic/industrial literature about this stuff, a literature which seems to have been fairly well known to the broader public about 25 years ago but to be completely unknown to it today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19468090#19468699 .
I'm happy you like the app.
10m page views really doesn't look that big if you bring it down to pageviews/second and there's some reasonable distribution.

Assuming a busy day is 1M, and that a busy hour of the busy day has 100,000, but over the hour is evenly distributed, you're looking at under 30 page views per second. Maybe peak is a little more. If this is tuananh's current site, it's Jekyl, so it's all static -- you could probably host that on a 486 (as long as there aren't any big images to clog the nic). If it's something with a little bit of dynamic content, you might need to be careful about how you structure it, but something reasonable should be fine at that level of traffic too, just need to make sure you don't spend a lot of cpu doing useless work (like some frameworks that take 60ms to output hello world)
This old trope again?

I’m a hiring manager for a pretty significant albeit non-FAANG IT firm and I’ve good and bad applicants from Google et al just like anywhere else. I’ve since come to the conclusion that many skilled engineers simply can’t be bothered to go through the hiring process that FAANG companies put you through just for a little prestige.

Plus in my experience, the different between skilled engineers is less than the different it makes hiring based on team fit. You can stick a dozen of the worlds most prestigious engineers in a room and still not produce anything better than if you put a dozen good engineers who are united in any a common vision and good team fit.

But don’t just take my word for it. Do a search on HN for comments from other managers - even ex-FAANG managers have, on occasions, echoed the same sentiment.
Yeah indeed. It works, but not all of their activities work on Mac OS
I used a bunch of randomized questions with single word answers (case insensitive and typo tolerant) and hidden fields for years now.

You can use common knowledge or simple ambiguity of language. You can use simple math arithmetic, written in properly obfuscated html. and randomly generated on each page load. You can use custom question about the content of the article (helps with informed answers).

On a small blog of mine just one question with one answer on the contact form prevented all spam for over 5 years already although it would be trivial to exploit in a targeted attack.

Targeted attacks are rare unless your captcha protects a juicy target that is worth a targeted attack at some point.
I think general strength-training folk-wisdom is that it's easier to build muscle if at some point in the past you had built muscle, even if it had withered in the meantime.

I don't understand the science here, but I think they're saying the initial muscle-building efforts do something to the genome that allow future hypertrophy efforts to be more fruitful.
Astroturfing and shilling isn’t illegal. Unless an account was hacked, no crime has been committed. Even lying generally isn’t a crime. In terms of fraud, there has to be a determination of unlawful gain or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Astroturfing isn’t fraud, nor is shilling.

“It’s worth noting how much easier it is to successfully solve ReCAPTCHAs when the user is logged into their Google account”. Well to me it makes absolute sense as Google knows that the logged in user is a human. This article is just following the current trend all Google is bad.
That wouldn’t be “criminal” — a TOS violation isn’t “prosecuted” as its civil. And, the aggrieved party would have to prove actual damages.
Not when the other channel is already at capacity. And it is. Blocking ads has no effect on that. You never agreed to being tracked either, so blocking that is the right and proper thing to do. Blocking surveillance capitalism might push businesses toward honesty, it's at least with a shot.
Cross-platform support wouldn't even be that hard to implement considering Python is cross-platform already and there are quite a lot of automation libraries for it.

They might well have great engineers, this view seems somewhat myopic. I've known principal engineers at big tech firms who weren't that great, and self-taught people with no degree at all who massively, massively outperformed the PHDs on the same team.

Your criteria are off.
I am not sure why I want to sue Chase. I bank with them and they have provided the agreed services. What exactly has Chase done to harm someone like me? If I don’t like something they do, I simply bank elsewhere.

Do you honestly believe it is possible to solve this from the consumer side? We can't even make people stop eating themselves to death! You might get a small fraction to consume less but that wont save the environment. "Every little bit counts", no it really doesn't, it might buy us a few years and let the rest pollute even more before things are so bad that we start enforcing laws to stop them but ultimately those laws will be there, so all you achieved was making life a bit cushier for people who don't care.
Yeah I am a bit confused why RPA is so hot right now in corporate land. There are many many people who do repetitive stuff on their desktops these days though..
With Brew it's a moot point - you can't choose to do otherwise, it will refuse to run as root, and has no capability to do the "normal" `make && sudo make install` pair, where you build as user and install as root.
But they see rainforests and lemurs on TV. Two cute cuddly eyes. To empathize with. The equivalent for co2 might be disaster movies (or Al Gore), which arguably are counter productive.

The people living on coast lines are generally rich, which gives them the expectation that they will be ok.
Confused by the implication that using machines old enough to not be supported by macOS or Windows is in any way "Green".

Using older hardware almost assuredly means using more power than more modern systems.
I don’t even look at qualifications any more when hiring senior engineers (junior is a different matter but I don’t make that the deciding factor) simply because some of my best engineers have turned out to be ones without a degree.

At the end of the day, a good hire is always going to be a role of the dice. The interview process should stack the odds in your favour but there’s never any guarantees. Which is why good management is so important. Good management can bring excellence out of average engineers and identify the dead weight before they become toxic to the team.
For my own learning, I have combined this book with anthropology professor David Graeber's book 'Debt: The First 5000 Years' - which is already mentioned in OP's list. In his book, David debunks the myth that before we had monetary currencies, we had barter. He gives us beautiful descriptions of indigenous cultural practices around sharing resources; their use of gift economy principles.

I know - this all sounds crazy right?

The author Brett Scott has an easy to follow blog post where he helps the reader explore the many paradigm shifts needed to break the thought patterns behind our economic system:

The most important thing you’ll ever do for your startup
Right, someone can't register a google account and make their spambots bypass CAPTCHAs with it. Just knowing that a human was present once doesn't mean they are always human. Googlen probably lets you pass easily once or twice in a certain amount of time but keeps track and starts giving you more difficult solves as time goes on. But then, someone might register a thousand google accounts and rotate through them to allow cool off time, so I'm not sure how this is handled. It is not a given that rewarding people with a google account is a good thing.

I'm almost sure that the traditional (ha!) wiki model where everyone is free to edit is not meant to be functional under the modern internet anyway. A verified and/or interested user model (the OP mentions this possibility in the heading "Community-specific questions", too bad that the second example image is too ambiguous even for anime fans though) seems to work though; I've seen it being much effective on, for example, the Esolang wiki [1].

But less waste. How much until one cancel another is hard to tell.
Non-native speaker here, is the usage of "than" in "Your browser than uses DNS, a decentralized naming system, ..." actually correct? I happen to see this a lot and I am not sure if this is a spelling mistake when people want to write "then" or if it is actually intended.
Here is an idea I thought of for a captcha. Render your webpage and form and include a hidden "password" field. Use a javascript hashing algorithm to hash the password on the client browser (preferably a very slow one that uses a lot of CPU). When you submit the form check the calculated hash the client did with a pre-calculated hash on the server. If they don't match reject the form. You can pre-generate a list of password/hash combinations to avoid slowing down your servers. Could it work?
I use a simple english question with a five letter word as an answer sucessfully for 8 years on a contact form now. The text isn’t obsfucated, the answer is always the same.

This is as primitive as it gets. I didn’t get a single spam mail in all that time.

The idea is not to outrun your competition, it is to become a special target that would demand special work to successfully get into. Bots are dumb as long as the humans behind them don’t give them a hint how to deal with your site.

And if you’re really that valuable of a target, you can step it up a notch or even switch to google’s data collecting solution.
If you edit your own $PATH, it literally only affects your user account.

`/usr/local/bin` is in the default $PATH, so making it world writable means anything malicious installed there may end up being called by a system utility that runs as another user than your own.

For your (and Brew's stated goal), installing into ~/bin would be a better result, because it's literally that single users account.

But the Brew developers never want to hear any criticism of their ridiculous bullshit, whether it's security issues or their half-assed dependency resolution.
>3 mods who mod both...

Ah yes, conspiracy!

Seriously, it’s like worldnews doesn’t have an army of mods, and senior mods who agree with the actions of their fellow mods.

It can’t have anything to do with the subs and users who are banned from r/India for harassing normal people, islamaphobia, Alls for genocide and so on, right?

I mean, it’s not like there’s THREE right wing pro govt Indian subreddits which constantly harangue and badger the main sub, attack ABCDesis and are coordinating some sort of absurd propaganda war to make it seem that r/India is.... what?

No no. It’s a conspiracy.
And accurate compile time checks.

I recommend checking F# if you want mostly inferred, strong static types and terse pythonesque Syntax (few braces, significant whitespace). Also much faster.

Considering you can use all of .NET from F# you can benefit from the work on C# as well.

Chase didn’t set up a website asking for account numbers. So how did Chase create this problem? What exactly have they done wrong? If someone disagrees with the policy, they can opt-out, so what’s the problem that causes someone to need to give a bank account number to a random website? Why not just disclose in big letters what the site is all about: lead generation for a law firm? This isn’t some kind of “we like to help people,” project any more than ambulance chasers seek “justice.” There is a place for lawsuits certainly, but let’s not pretend this is about “helping,” it’s about lead generation.
