I hacked a big social platform in my early teens (Nettby.no), since they just did a removal of all banned words, including <script>. I instead wrote <scr<script>ipt> in my profile bio, and after their removal I had a valid html tag injected into the webpage and full control of anyone visiting my page..
I am not willing to change my mind based on the case you have presented.

The one is a market netflix & friends are trying to expand into, the other is a market they already have exhausted for growth and are squeezing for max profit.

Guess which consumers enjoy more.

Of course canada loves piracy. Canada is part of US and UK media culture but is often blocked by licensing restrictions. Every time a canadian is refused the ability to stream a US tv show, a pirate is born. Every time a canadian clicks on a link and is hit with "not availible in your country", a pirate is born. Tell me I cannot watch the Dr Who christmas eve special until after christmas? Ill defend that torrent in court with my last breath.

(Fyi, the first season of the Doctor Who reboot was cosponsored by CBC, making it canadian. Look at the credits of most every movie these days and you'll find it recieved canadian tax benefits, yet Canada is often blocked or delayed at release. And half of US actors are secret Canadians.)

That’s a comment that makes me think someone read a blog 15 years ago, and never kept up with modern ways of doing things.
Wow, you beat me to it.
I have been building my own version of the same application for myself.

Great job, I will be happy to contribute as well.
>A sad thing, some what related to this is there's nothing worth pirating now a days. Every single movie or TV show is bad these days.

I get you, but I disagree. "The Boys" and "Invincible" are amazing shows IMHO. Great writing, great directing, great VFX, top cast delivering great performances. There's probably other great stuff out there but I don't have time to invest in finding and watching more.

It's mostly big-name Hollywood productions that suck nowadays because of their terrible unoriginal writing focused around present day identity politics(South Park's famous jab at Disney's focus to "put a black chick in it and make her lame and gay!") coupled with the lazy and excesive use of VFX, but there's plenty of gems coming from the European(Nordics, France, etc) and Asian cinemas than nobody ever hears about unless you go looking for them. Especially Korea has been knocking it out of the park in the last few years.

Foreign(from the US pov) cinema is killing it because they're not stuck chasing to milk existing franchises to death but cand afford to actually be original and take risks with new material, compared to Hollywood who's now the McDonalds/Starbucks of the entertainment industry, focused on selling bland predictable content at massive scale with insane marketing budgets, chasing profits.
I think this put human level intelligence on a above average pedestal.

we're constantly witnessing and documenting some of the most gullible political bodies using the most rudimentary and hallucinating logic indistinguishable from LLM.

WE are at human intelligence and it's as stupid as we don't want to accept.
So your example of a deep difference is the suggestion that there may be a difference owing to our own ignorance? That hardly seems convincing
I have no issues saying no to all of these, at the expense of being called a jerk. I am not tipping someone to do a job that they were supposed to do in the first place, especially in a high tax regimes.

You may ask what has taxation got to do with tipping ? Well in a welfare state, the employees are supposed to be paid a moderate wage in accordance with living wages and inflation. I suppose some portion of the 50%+ tax the government rips off from me goes to this. Am not shelling out a tip on top of this.

In low tax regimes, there is an argument to be made for 15-25% tipping but even that doesn't stand true in current climate. The government has intervened and increased minimum wages everywhere. So unless there is some balance, tipping beyond a certain limit is economically illogical and overrated.

Holy sh-. This is literally disturbing stuff right there. I didn't even suspect that such things may exist! Thanks!
That is correct.

The client sends the encrypted (via HTTPS) but not hashed password to the server, both for changing your password and checking your password. So the server receives the password in plaintext but shouldn't store it.

Whatever the client sends to the server, an attacker can send too.
This is awesome! I wanted to do something same but was going with the approach that people would be incentivized to enter/map nutritional information for line items on their receipt...and then implicitly contribute that to the community (like how MyFitnessPal works.)

Ultimately there arent that many grocery stores and there arent that many popular items, so you'd get an 80/20 approach.

Also curious about the GPT approach, are you worried about the cost exploding with a GPT approach?
Hello, and thank you for your feedback!

As a startup with a current team of two, we pride ourselves on being highly adaptable and agile. Our goal is to experience rapid growth and redefine how people perceive open source support. By achieving this before GitHub identifies the opportunity and begins development, we aim to cover significant ground, making it less viable for GitHub to launch a similar initiative.

We acknowledge the inherent risks but are determined to be innovative and swift in our approach to ensure success. Additionally, the open-source market is vast and expanding rapidly, further fueling our optimism about the potential for our venture.

I think it is completely within Israel's ability to dismantle most of Hamas fighting force, and then manage the Gaza Strip similarly to the West Bank. Failing to do so might bring about the scenarios you are talking about, which is the tragedy of those that scream genocide too prematurely. As done in all previous wars with Hamas, the international crowd has called what was happening genocide although it clearly wasn't, thereby pressuring Israel to stop, enabling worse and worse wars in the future and more civilian deaths.

I completely agree though that a lack of a two state solution will lead to catastrophe for either people or both eventually.
However, I do not share your pessimism about US/Israel regional prospects. Remember that this is mainly due to self-inflicted restraints, which is how asymmetric warfare really works. As seen in September 11 in the US and October 7 in Israel this can change rapidly when faced with an external threat
I wonder if they set the defaults themselves.

But also, I've been to some places where the default choices start at 25% now, which I believe would be too bold for these PoS companies.
20 years later and people are still indoctrinated to think piracy isn't just the natural state of information sharing.
Where do we draw the line on that approach?

Depending on were I am in the US, it's common to see most drivers on the highways or interstates doing 10-25mph above the speed limit. Sticking to the speed limit often leaves you getting honked at, having drivers riding your tail, etc. Should we keep decreasing the speed limit until people follow the rules?

> Rules with personal choices are more subject to peer pressure.

A society with rules designed to remove personal choice for fear of peer pressure sounds absolutely miserable. I would never want to live in a world where rules are created by a higher authority with the specific goal of removing my ability to make decisions because it has been decided that its better for me that way.
Muslims would be pretty firm that Mo was just a prophet. They're worshipping God, not this prophet bloke. The Christians have this neat hack where their prophet guy literally was God. If you haven't grown up with it, the logic of Trinitarianism is completely batshit but if you grew up around Christians it just seems normal. An Iranian friend was astonishing that Unitarianism wasn't the default because it seemed less crazy.

Now, we do say "God is dead" but by that we don't mean in the sense that "Mohammed is dead" or "Elvis is dead" or "Margaret Thatcher is dead". We're talking about the idea, and so that's rejected by the Faithful.
To me tipping gives the vibes of that Ebay trick of selling something worth $100 by splitting it into a $20 price + $80 shipment to reduce fees or something. In this case they are offloading all the responsibility of a fair wage directly onto the customer and not indirectly through the food delivery company.
If you only have one live version then I’m even more confused why you’d need all these different major and minor version numbers and their hotfixes to be in simultaneous development.
I do a lot of literate coding for shell work, using org-mode. I have param substitution, command chaining, textual explanation and saved output from the last time commands were run. I can save the .org files for reference, or add them directly to my blog.
I’m going to say that you do need to adjust to it.

It won’t give you “personalized results” like Google so you might have to adapt to that.
Tipping should be illegal.
They're maximizing revenue by operating at a lower quantity and higher cost. This is microeconomics 101. People get driven out of urban areas where there are good paying jobs. In an ideal market this should be undercut by competition. In reality all available housing in urban areas are owned by large corporations all using the same price-setting backend. This is an illegal trust supercharged by the internet and globalization. It's an international Pottersville rapidly sprung from nowhere. So no, big corporations don't need more government handouts to do more of the same. Incentives for not-profit-driven entities (such as humans seeking secure housing) should be given.

Well, not that you would win on those grounds, but you wouldn't have to you wouldn't ever be charged in Canada anyway unless you left it seeding for mad long.
the only place situation where such rules can matter is if you already _massively_ messed up security

(most fundamental rule of handling passwords is to never store them anywhere, never log them either, b etc. they should go straight to the hashing function and no where else)

I actually have gotten a children’s picture book from a brand of cloth diapers that describes a silly and exaggerated story of how they invented their core product (a pivot from the two founders’ masters degrees in aerospace engineering).

If you need performance then it doesn't matter if it is a "poor mans GC", what matters is that it meets the space/time requirements, most general purpose GC tend to care about neither.
Clearly going to school did not help you learn the meaning of theft. If you keep repeating the same incorrect point there is no point to a discussion.

First: in your opinion, which specific type of law or right is being broken or violated by generative AI? Copyright? Trademark? Can we at least agree it does not meet the definition of theft?
But you missed the actual joke.
And yet DoorDash itself is losing hundreds of millions per year[1]!

Ask HN: How important is UI/UX design in side-hustle project?
Hi, everyone.
Recently I've been building a website that you can simply think of as 500px and Reddit r/photocritique combined.

As of now, I've done building core backend APIs for it, and to be frank, I find it pretty time-consuming and a bit exhausting to do frontend.

How much should this concern me?
Do things like button paddings, inner shadows, round borders, and choice between #d9d9d9 and #ffffff matter?
There are various schemes where the password is salted, hashed or prehashed on the client side, to various effectiveness. They have never been really popular and the advent of ubiquitous https probably made them even less common, but they do exist. They do help protect you from your own WAF though.
Not sure if serious. We need this. If you can guess someone else's password by accident, both of you need a password reset and that password needs to go on the denylist.

Modern advice for strong passwords is having a length requirement and checking the input against a list of known passwords, for example using the HIBP partial hash API. (Any time you see forced expiration or complexity requirements, you're dealing with a legacy/cargocult system.)
hey, thanks! on skimming it looks like the stack-based bytecode they were comparing was jvm bytecode, which is normally one byte per instruction, no?
DoorDash is a scourge just like Uber before it. This isn’t the driver or customer’s fault, it’s theirs. Stop using the gig economy if you can.

Imagine that you don't know that Google can also track you across half the websites you visit via Google Analytics. This wording is clever - you still won't know.

A detailed overview of the allegedly infringed upon patents can be found at http://patentlyo.com/media/2015/02/6-13-cv-00447-JRG-KNM-423...

And then to view the patents themselves, Google has a pretty good site where you can enter US patent numbers, like https://patents.google.com/patent/US7334720B2/en
Generally I keep two different lists. One is for things I have to do on at a specific time (generally by day). This is often work related things, appointments, etc

Then I have a list for “Someday Maybe”. The wording of this is important. At the moment I add the task it feels pretty important, but often that feeling fades. I purposefully let that list cook for a while and come back to it one a weekly basis. If the thing still seems exciting I’ll pick it up.

This is pretty vague and not exactly how I do things day to day, but the key points are: reframing some tasks as “someday” or “maybe”. That reduces guilt if I don’t end up doing them but even more importantly it reduces mental clutter. It’s on paper so I can forget about it for now and refocus on the moment
Interesting that also Spain, Argentina and Chile are on the low and declining sector, but not Mexico.

My suspicion is that it has something to do with the strategy of streaming sites: language and cheap. Streaming sites (mostly Netflix) have been releasing a lot of shows in Spanish/Portuguese, including some of good quality and have been keeping their prices low in those countries.

And these shows haven't been available in pirate sites, most people in the region don't have the know-how to pirate them and put it there.

This is wrong, it was worse, there was no room for him so he hung on the side in the water

The vast majority of users would have taken Google’s incognito mode at their word.

The kinds of geeks that use HN wouldn’t have been so naive.

It’s really quite a shocking lie they were selling to the uninformed, it morally reeks, even for Google’s standards.
then you’d be paying the full tip every time to ensure fair wages
A definition of the word "Incognito" is to: avoiding being recognized, by changing your name or appearance. So, the name of the mode itself implies you are not being tracked. Yes, those who understand technology recognize this, however those who are not in the know would likely assume it means something different than what it actually is. This is at minimum disingenuous, and at maximum fraudulent.
Because you are lazy, irresponsible, and/or incompetent.

Ha. 70s is a diff vibe. To me it's diffuse, unfocused, open and permeable, but no direction -- no decisiveness. The 80s is all like "We know what we want and we are going there now! You with us? Okay, come along! You're not? CYA later, alligator." Hahaha! :)

But I'm curious -- for you, where was the 70s good and what was good about it? :) haha! :)

Yeah I had a look for a good article and didn’t find anything I loved in my brief search. I think illustrations are much more useful than code, fwiw. In particular:

- for what Minkowski sums/differences are (maybe some kind of sweep animation would help)

- maybe something to describe what a convex set is / what support functions are. Phrasing them as a supremum of dot products isn’t super useful. You need some idea of some properties implied by sets being convex to follow the next part

- maybe some kind of visual demonstration for the support function of the Minkowski difference

- several illustrations of the steps of the algorithm for determining if 0 is in the set. I think these are some of the more useful and specific illustrations

Lots of people mocking the “God commanded me to do X” but if you’re familiar with evangelical Christian culture, this line gets used to justify all sorts of behavior and life decisions that might go against what one would traditionally expect a devout Christian to avoid. Obviously fraud and financial crimes are an extreme version of this, but it’s a line I’ve heard to justify all sorts of legal albeit self-destructive behavior.

“I know I should be saving money for a house but god spoke to me and I spent the downpayment on <fancy car that’ll get repo’d in a year>”
This was pretty good, and not as bleak as I would have guessed given the subject matter and having read On The Beach by Nevil Shute.

It's not a prefect analogy but UPS/Fedex knows your package delivery history (number of parcels, weight of each parcel, the senders, whether you answered the door, etc.) yet you did not explicitly consent to them. Sure, there are some sites that proudly list what courier they use, but most sites I've seen don't.
What I don't get is... why do businesses use it?

My local podunk pizza joint uses this insanely basic, yet fully sufficient service called "weborder.net". Feels like it's straight out of the movie The Net.

There are NO added fees. It accepts every card type. It emails you confirmations and notifications. Everything i'd want from a "modern" delivery experience.

It seems like there are no shortage of alternatives to DD.
If you, as the driver, think a customer should tip 50% on a $20 pizza order, I’d recommend you not take up work in a role where pricing decisions are part of your responsibility.

People aren’t going to start tipping $10 for a $20 pizza, no matter how hard you wish for it.
It can be interpreted as you suggest, but does not necessarily come from the person in charge. It might mean that auditors forced the installation of a WAF because of $REGULATIONS (irrespective of the actual code quality) and refused to allow weakening the rules for password fields.

EDIT: as they don't actually check for all the banned strings, the "auditor + mandatory misconfigured WAF" hypothesis expressed above is not valid in this case. But let it stay as an otherwise-plausible explanation, or maybe something that was valid in the past.
Thats interesting to learn. I think he is on to something.

The one thing that computers are really good at is storing data (especially text) so I believe it should be a core function of any computer that it should never loose anything a user has input.
