Indeed. That's on par with: "I'm sorry you're an idiot." Not an apology, an insult, and feigning to be apologizing about you (which is doubly insulting).

Wouldn't be the first time HN/automoderation/mods have removed 'critical to YC business interests'. Happened to me with the Thalmic Myo, when I open source forced them to open thei…

Network topological discovery is the hard pill to swallow with p2p based tech. You're paying for it in much higher network bandwidth, cpu, battery, and more. Eventually the tradeof…

Thats already happened once in recent times. Occupy Wall Street. Now, what happens when that expands to 1/10 of citizens due to lack of food, people getting evicted, no work, and m…

Indeed. PKD gets IoT,EULAs, and contact law in one shot. It's similar to when that engineer was investigating his purchased Tesla, and Tesla called and threatened him to not 'tampe…

Yeah I ran across some scaremongers on Twitter 6 months ago who were going on about vaccines (??) And 5G. I had and still have no clue about that. As a real aside, networking every…

I sait on another comment on this article that being a mod allows you to strongly astroturf and control the narrative. From there, and having loads of bots, allows you to manufactu…

Yep. Thats only because Graylog requires it. We don't put any real data in Mongo. That'd just be silly. I'd put SNMP telemetry data in Mongo, only for the fact that recording that …

NodeRed or Apache NiFi can help a great deal with that. Both are great at posting and reposting (on and off Reddit, or between FB, Reddit, Twitter, etc), along with controlling bot…

Karma is a social proof for being able to astroturf and control the narrative. And depending on what group you're a mod in, can provide a great deal of influence and control.

> Buying keys in a region with low regional pricing then reselling them in a higher region Notice that companies can do that with labor and buildings and tax evasion, and it's 'sit…

I would think the closest analogy would be to the death penalty in the USA surrounding lethal injections. Every company that is knowingly being used for the cocktail to kill someon…

Then why did your "user agent" permit it? Seems rather anti-user.

It doesn't make any sense in trying innocent people! (No, seriously, I know people who believe that.)

Yep. Just waiting for this "feature" to be added to metasploit.

I also think that "real transparency" is something one can approach. Just because complete transparency is nigh impossible doesn't mean the steps towards it is worthless. And there…

I would think that having more transparency (eg: moderation/removal log) is much more appropriate than "he looks good to me". I've already seen a few times where content demeaning …

> It contains troll harassment. By not letting a troll know they've been banned, you remove the incentive they might have to create a new account to continue their harassment. Comp…

That's not entirely true. You can "change" the charset from 1 type to another... The problem with that is fields may extend past the max length of that field when converting from 1…

Giphy was the reason why at my last job, a manager inadvertently posted porn to our slack channel. Nevertheless, giphy was just a gif image host. They do have access to current mem…

Indeed you are. Enter "US-linked Australian church fined US$98,000 for selling bleach as coronavirus ‘miracle cure'" citation: https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/australasia/article/30…

Light is a TEMPEST emission :) It too is EM. But yeah, you're right. Shoulder surfers are very much why * are used.
