"especially people already intelligent/capable enough to immigrate anywhere else that doesn't have these issues or stay in their own country" Isn't that the point? Come here legall…

"That's higher than any other president by a massive amount" - Any modern president. Abraham Lincoln had a 2859.40% increase. Martin Van Buren had a 1458.32% increase. We've had qu…

I'm pretty ignorant about these kinds of things so how does this work? If Valve can specify the court to be used couldn't the company always choose something like Alaska or Hawaii …

24 billion dollars for 184,000 homeless people (United States Department of Housing and Urban Development estimate). That's 135k per person. Where is the money going if not the hom…

Why not keep everything transparent and make lobbying illegal? I know neither secret voting or making lobbying illegal will ever happen but it seems like you're just putting a band…

I don't think we need to do it for every number. Account number, for example, could still be HTML. Balance could be converted, though. The harder we make it for scammers, the worse…

Couldn't alt-text be used to address accessibility? Web scrapping shouldn't be a requirement of personal banking websites. Am I missing something here?

Wouldn't banks have content security setup?

I've tried a few different sites and I can't make it happen. I'll keep trying.

If you're interested, I would suggest watching some Kitboga. I don't actually know anyone that has had this happen but there are plenty of stories around the internet. I will try d…

Had to look up FINTS. You are right about accessibility.

I'll give you accessibility. I tried changing images in the browser on the fly and it just hides the image. That's probably because the browser would need to make a new GET request…

They ask a person to login to their bank account with screen sharing. They then take control of the mouse and edit the HTML on the fly making it look like they transferred a large …

I've been thinking about scammers lately and thought about rendering numbers as a png in browsers instead of displaying them as HMTL for banks. This would ensure scammers can't jus…

Just upgraded an old system to solr 9. I've been very impressed with it.

There's a link in the article where Google says they are not phasing out third party cookies at all - https://privacysandbox.com/news/privacy-sandbox-update/ .

Third party cookies are not just used for tracking - they are also any cookies set in an iframe. There are legitimate use cases for third party cookies. Chrome recently rolled out …

There will always be "haves" and "have nots". That's been the case since forever. Standard Oil ruled the world. AT&T did, too. I agree that monopolies are bad. We should pressure o…

That could be viewed as a piece of "late stage capitalism" but that's only one part, right? The problem with the term is it's a catch-all for any perceived problem with capitalism.…

"Late stage capitalism" implies that capitalism is doomed to fail. In reality it is a system of constant change. Wealth inequality has always existed. Some problems like housing ar…

The goals are a little different but I think it's worth pointing out ElasticMQ. I use it simulate sqs in a docker environment. https://github.com/softwaremill/elasticmq

The first thing I looked for was text and saw they used cars in an example. I thought the same thing as you 'this can actually get readable license plates?' I don't know enough abo…

Yes. Nothing is perfect. The remedy they've chosen is to rely on insurance. There is a reason we call doctor's offices 'practices'.

I have a hard time with window resizing on my Mac all the time. I have to go slow and find the sweet spot.

Not exactly the same but an engineer I was working with wasn't handling a failure case properly and leaving transactions open. It was reported that the DB would stop working after …
