Wordpress: Least learning curve, hard to customise down the line.

Flask: Deceivingly simple at first, but you'll spend full-time debugging it soon. It is NOT a framework for beginner.

Django: A bit more learning curve than WP, but will take you far, if you read its docs properly.
Cops have bigger fish to dry. A law is only as good as its enforcement.
I don’t want to endorse this practice at all but because it is public knowledge,

I trust you will be able to figure out the rest.
I don’t know about rest of EU, but here in Slovakia, every receipt has a QR code.

You can send that number to API for receipt verification - and it returns all line items and prices.

If we could get people to scan the receipts (expense tracking for example) we would have massive amount of crowdsourced data.

Wish I had time to pursue this idea!
> “While owning a boot key is not illegal, here is what the public needs to know,” reads the department’s Facebook page. “If you use a Boot Key to modify, tamper, or disengage a booting device from a vehicle, you can be charged with: Criminal Trespass, and/or Theft of Services, and/orTheft by Taking, and/or Damage to Property 2nd Degree.”

What's the penalty for immobilizing someone's car? If they're free to put a boot on my car because it's on their property, why am I not free to remove a boot from my property?
2.4? From 2002/2003? Seems unlikely to me?

It isn't entrapment. Entrapment is when the government induces you to commit a crime that you weren't inclined to commit.

You can connect a ~3-10V battery to yourself, which may increase an electrostatic field and deflect the incoming signal.
> I contacted the bank the next day and they said they don’t contract with anyone for parking enforcement when they are closed.

So this means that you can start a business and simply put a boot on any car almost everywhere ...and people just have to pay???
This online etymology dictionary (etymonline.com/word/sick) says that:
The restricted meaning of English sick, "having an inclination to vomit, affected with nausea," is from 1610s.

Usage and etymology may differ, even if over the long term there is little semantic drift, as usage may reflect context and cultural changes.
You can't commit a crime just because your boss told you to. If your boss asks you to break in to a building and steal something you will still be in trouble for doing it, even if you have a paper trail showing your objection. Same should apply if you knowingly provide fraudulent information to a government agency.

You might get a lesser sentence if you can prove that you were pressured into it by your employer but you're still ultimately liable for your actions.

In this situation you need to put your foot down and say you can't commit fraud on behalf of the company. You could offer to either hire a pen tester, or conduct a half assed pen test yourself and report on the paper that you did an "internal" pen test, or something like that. But you should not have filled out a document with known false info. What did you think would happen once you did? That they would just throw it in the trash?

Given that the consequences are already happening, you should make it clear that you aren't going to continue to lie and schedule a pen test ASAP.
These "problems" are only relevant to speculators. A normal person is not going to have $870K in cryptocurrency. Even a rich person is not unless they're speculating because they would otherwise hold their wealth as some kind of ordinary investment.

You might lose your cryptocurrency wallet with $50 in it, but you could just as well lose your traditional wallet with $50 cash in it.

The biggest impediment to adoption is actually regulatory. Vendors would love to accept a payment method with the transaction fees of Bitcoin Cash instead of the transaction fees of Visa and MasterCard. But not if it's ten thousand times more tax paperwork. Which competing payment methods might have had something to do with.
It's also a difference in mentality. Germans just want cheap stuff.

I saw it was released but never looked into it as there's no reason to now that I've moved to LiveView.

I have other issues with Livewire as well, including how Caleb operates his communities. He has and continues to make a ton of money off Livewire and still provides zero support to the community. Want any actual support? Well that starts at $6,000/year for one support request a month.

He doesn't even appear to be a member of his own discord server anymore. Not that it makes a difference; last time I checked had only ever sent 34 messages in there and the last one was in 20202. He has one guy who would randomly show up around once a day and answer some of the questions.

I don't expect free support but if your package is so confusing that the community is unable to support each other, you should probably be around trying to help sort that out. Instead, he just keeps doing re-writes which puts the the load on everyone else.

Anyways; if you're interested in this type of project I HIGHLY recommend you check out Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView. I haven't enjoyed writing software this much for a long time; not only is the language and framework more enjoyable to work with, but the community is so much better in general.
In Berlin it’s literally impossible to apply. They stopped accepting applications while waiting for the central processing location to open. You must force your application through with a lawyer. There is a backlog of 30,000 applications. They plan to process less 20,000 in a year if all goes well. It will not go well according to the latest report. Oh and they are about to reduce the citizenship requirements, but have no plan for dealing with the extra workload. Everything is still paper based.

I decided not to become a German citizen. I want no liabilities to this country.
You just need to manually install it. The JAR and all the dependencies are public.

"I am self-teaching myself web-design and the related stuff (Python mainly for everything, but HTML/CSS, C++, SQL and databases also) and a few years ago I also administered a Wordpress site for a while, so am a bit familiar with themes/addons etc."

Sounds like you trying to learn to many things at once. And you for sure do not need to learn C++ for web development. PHP is and JS/TS is missing from your list. That would be the languages to learn for WordPress. But there there are already plugins for invoicing and things you need out there, sounds like there is nothing too obscure that can not be solved with already existing plugins. So do you really need to be a programmer? Probably not.

There is a reason WordPress is used to much, I am biased because I am a self taught WP dev but WP and PHP and evolving constantly, there is a plugin for everything ...

You supposed to build a website, remote desktop, invoicing for an agency and their hired you for what exactly? What skills did you tell them you have?

Sorry but you sound very naive and I could not find what your actually skilled in. You look for "keywords"??? And you read one article about someone WP site getting hacked that makes you think WP is insecure?

Even if I try to be unbiased this sounds like a clear case for WordPress to me.
International wire transfer scams are still somewhat common. The amount of convicted perpetrators is surprisingly low.

The best tool we have against them is prevention. In practice, this usually means a friendly bank employee refusing to honor a customer's wire transfer. Because once the money is sent, there's no getting it back.

In fact, all else equal, I'd rather have crypto stolen by someone else in my home country than to have fiat currency stolen by an international thief. At least with the domestic criminal there's some chance of tracing the theft, tracking them down, and bringing them to justice in my home justice system. With the international thief, there's really zero chance of that.

Is there more to the philosophy of why caddy exists? I am trying to jump into a few open source projects to hone my programming skills and I have a harder time comprehending things if I don't know what was the overall intention of the authors.
From the article, it sounds like it already is:

> “While owning a boot key is not illegal, here is what the public needs to know,” reads the department’s Facebook page. “If you use a Boot Key to modify, tamper, or disengage a booting device from a vehicle, you can be charged with: Criminal Trespass, and/or Theft of Services, and/orTheft by Taking, and/or Damage to Property 2nd Degree.”

Agreed.

The police would not help, these corporations, however scummy, are seemingly authorized to do this. The police would just tell you to pay the fine.
The article even explicitly says so:

I was in a similar position once, but it was an audit questionnaire about our usage of software - we only had one production instance licensed, not the backup instance or development instances. My director wanted me to state that we only used the one instance, I refused and said I'd leave the pertinent sections blank (for the director to fill in), but I wasn't going to lie about our usage.

That's when I started looking seriously for a new job, and had left the company within a month, a few months later they went out of business after they had to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in back licensing fees since the vendor had evidence that their software product had been used beyond the single production instance.

I think if they'd been upfront about the usage, the company would have negotiated a fair license fee going forward without pushing for past usage to be paid too.

This one's the other way around. It was spelled "color" in early English, French, and Latin. At some point the French officially added a "u" in order to make the spelling more phonetic, and the English aristocracy imitated that even though it makes no sense given English pronunciation.
Or here's a follow-up question: can Django/Flask provide the same functionality/user experience as Wordpress?
> We would take a PR for the first example if folks think that's better spacing. ... we'd take a PR on anything that is equivalent.

"We'd take a PR" is a great line for someone who's already sold on the concept, but it's not super helpful for flaws in your marketing. Reading OP, it doesn't sound like they trust you enough to find it to be worth their time fixing your examples for you.
And don't lie.

The OP committed fraud. If he don't double it down, he may not get any liability from it, but he did commit fraud. Do not be like the OP.

I came here to say this. It's good to mention that not only is it open source, but it has login support, AMOLED dark mode, and much more.

Another great thing is that it is consistently updated. Something that I've found the other apps to not really care about. They seem to be fire and forget as far as releases go

WordPress is totally fine and used by many agencies in the real world. It gets a bad rep because it is extremely popular and has low barrier to entry which also attracts more eyeballs and script kiddies trying to break in due to vulnerability in some low quality plugins.

But you need to choose based on what your objectives are. WP is quick and give you decent bang for buck especially if you don't need to create something from scratch and needs to be used by non developers. It is not really comparable to Django/Flask which are actual frameworks to build web applications. WordPress is more of a Content Management System (CMS) that has been extended over the years to technically create flexible Applications but mostly for non tech users.

Use WordPRess if you want to build websites with some dynamic functionality like contact forms etc (plenty of well vetted plugins for those). Use Django/Flask if you are building a full web application with tons of user interactions.

WordPress = Web Site

Django/Flask = Web App

Parking enforcement in just about any city costs nothing, it's profit making. Surely a private company can only be cheaper if it's literally paying the city?
If you don't need to host something big, where you can get away with one good VPS, the cloud has the benefit of offering cheap bandwidth.

Once you have the bandwidth at your location and you don't need to be present in multiple locations, it's cheaper to self-host.

Next step would be colocation, but for a start, using cloud offerings is a cheap way to be a part of the internet.
Thanks for pointing it out. It's not your fault at all. I should write the pre-requisite resources downloader in the code as well. Will merge the new code into the main branch.
Password reset assumes two things:

A - the service doesn't encrypt your data (or has access to your private keys), and

B - that you have access to the second factor which is used to reset your password (e.g. a backup email address).

Secure password managers do not have access to your private key (i.e. the encryption key), as such if you lose the seed there is no recovery.

In the case with other services (i.e. they can reset your password) there is a chance you could lose access to your backup email or phone number used for resetting.

Edit: some services do allow reset by proving your "identity" (e.g. bank), in which case you have to go through customer service and provide requested information. (I put "identity" in quotes, because nefarious actors can sometimes prove this too).

I immigrated to the US, I know the pain of dealing with Kafkaesque institutions.

But I've also seen an ambulance with its sirens on delayed by several minutes because of a double-parked minivan. At some point, we need to acknowledge that owning a motor vehicle is not a blank check for putting other people in danger.
I wonder why in the first picture (red rose) the flower in the bg also moves, but we don't see the same affect in the third picture (tree). I also find it impressive that the amount of motion differs in the first and the second picture, could it be because the density around the pointer is considered?

Not likely. The bar for entrapment is higher than that.

1) Entrapment can occur if it can be argued suspect has no pre-disposition to commit a crime

2) Government actions caused a normally law abiding citizen to commit a crime

If you are effectively running a hotline and taking orders to commit crimes, those won't apply to you.
Wordpress with as few plugins as you can manage; and then only use super popular plugins.

Minimize customization, and keep it updated.

Then someone else can always work on it.
Contrary to the US where you can commonly see 2 bottles of milk sitting next to one another with a price per oz and a price per gallon, in France there is a relatively good uniformity for prices per x.

It's not the specific cipher that it's making fun of, but the "let's build a $x supercomputer to crack it." Honestly, half of the things you say in your edit/replies are really making the same point.

If the issues we're talking about stem from claims David Grusch (or people in that circle) made, then enough has been disclosed already to draw some conclusions: when your key witnesses discredit themselves, that is itself a form of evidence.

This part of the article needs a citation. Unity has been setting money on fire, but it hasn't been buying a market advantage. It's been burning money on highly, highly, highly questionable (at best) acquisitions like buying Weta and Iron Source as well an insane hiring spree and then paying those people for years for work and churn that Unity never actually manages to ship in the engine.
So sue for theft and trespassing. Confiscating my property and holding it hostage before a trial should be illegal.
WordPress for any content-focused site - especially where non-technical users will need the ability to modify content.

Django for any functionality-focused site or web application.

Flask for quick APIs of limited functionality that just need to "get done now".
Godot 4 is Vulkan (and I believe the plan is/was to add OpenGL ES3 back at some point)
This is IMHO why programming/IT should be treated as a "real Engineering" in some cases, or at least have one of the devs (head of the project?) have a proper degree.

I studied a different Engineering, and in multiple courses the emphasis was in the actual approval/signing. The only practical difference between a technician and the Engineer in many cases was that the Engineer could actually sign off the project (or not). And thus it was made very clear that signing a document like in this Workplace question would be a big deal, since the responsibility was theirs to make sure things were compliant.
Managers need to have the capacity to understand the work being done. Get into (I assume) code, and see what is happening. If you can’t do this, it is impossible to be an effective leader. You can be an effective people manager without this capability but you cannot be trusted to ensure the work will get done.
