    The problem here is that the complaint seems to be filed by the copyright owner (or licensee) but the code is accessing piracy sites. There could be a circumvention case if the pir…

    We have dual-branded debit cards in Canada, too. But these are all debit cards, not credit cards. Visa/MC makes way more money off credit cards than debit cards, which is why they'…

    Yoon is quite politically toxic at the moment, I don't think he'll be pardoned any time soon. I also think that this would be a good moment for South Korea to reconsider its approa…

    This would still rely on Visa/MasterCard allowing dual-branded credit cards for overseas transactions, which isn't a very common arrangement. The only market that has this is in As…

    You say this like robots.txt doesn't exist.

    This already exists on the previous platform curl was using (HackerOne), it does not prevent the slop. At my previous employer, I had access to the company’s bug bounty submissions…

    I think one interesting thing that the article does mention is that Walmart does accept Apple Pay and contactless payments in Canada. I suspect this is because Canadians pretty muc…

    Walmart does not require you to link a bank account for any of these schemes.

    Modern solar panels last around 30 years, so I wouldn't exactly call it "short-lived". Economically, I'm sure the locations chosen were optimal. You'd imagine that actual mountaino…

    Search engines would have been violating copyright for the last 20 years.

    I think the point of the post is that he _didn't_ do 7 weeks of work; he did 7 weeks of mostly not work.

    OP didn’t put this in the title but the article is from 2016. Turns out a lot has changed in the last decade and I think it’s likely that the article should be updated on what it’s…

    I don't think US-made drones would be any different.

    Good way to get fired and sued. Giving third parties access to your business emails can't possibly have negative repercussions right!

    With the rise in unfriendly bots on the internet as well as DDoS botnets reaching 15 Tbps, I don’t think many people have much of a choice.

    Another thing to keep in mind is that these details can and likely will be clarified in the future as it goes through process.

    It supported using self signed certs, but if the server suddenly switched from a self signed to a trusted CA-signed certificate, no prompt would be given. So the idea that self sig…

    iOS never supported this configuration regardless, a change in SSL certificate does not cause any kind of notification to the user. Also, you're basically objecting to the entire i…

    The author doesn't go through this in nearly enough detail to make that argument convincing. Rather than spending the entire time trying to find what the "real" ownership amount, t…

    I think the last few paragraphs go off the rails. If creators didn't own (at least in some way) some controlling stake in Nebula, why would they publicly say that they do? Moreover…

    The problem with these is that bugdoors require you to target way more valuable stuff compared to backdoors. With a backdoor you can target practically any library or binary that i…
