    Hmm, I never thought my informative post would get flagged, while baseless speculation is upvoted. The parent is pretty much 9/11 inside job conspiracy level stuff. I just stated a…

    Most of the big providers are shit, I wish I could shame them, but alas, I can not. If I'm responding to e-mail from their users, I expect at least my initial response will get thr…

    They will get there on weekend. OPCW was allowed in. Unless the strikes will change that.

    Probably too early for anyone to have any substantial comments anyway.

    All I hope is that the regime didn't do the same shitty thing it did in anticipation of Obama's response in 2013, when they moved prisoners into evacuated air bases, in hopes that …

    Just take the info with a grain of salt. Counterattack on whom? US forces in the east? US/French ships in the west?

    Thank you Bulgaria. Hopefully the real thing without thickeners will always be available. A lot of crap is being sold as yogurt by the usual multinational culprits. I guess we can …

    Oh, I understood that posting the photo was propaganda, not the actual content of the notes. I guess the meaning of the parent post was ambiguous.

    Everyone's repeating the 73% number, like it's some shocking statistic. It's meaningless number in isolation. For example if backpage.com captured 70% of the sex ads market, I'd ex…

    Perhaps a breach of privacy, but propaganda?

    Just make the algorithm select a random frame, and it will be solved.

    That's probably why he seems to enjoy it so much.

    Even random clicking on these "select X" captchas works. You'll just get a longer run around, until AI gets bored and lets you in. Perhaps it recognizes that being annoyed and a wi…

    I just realized I'm obfuscating my internet usage inadverently. Here's how: Good source of reasonable randomness is twitter. I've set up a scrapper for various twitter accounts and…

    That's pretty good. It would require some serious gullibility to defeat. If it's active attack, attacker may send the second mail with the passcode and instruct the user to enter i…

    Also user can require the service to remove his personal information and that means that service provider has to notify services he uses to stop using and remove that PI. How will …

    You have no guarantee that the domain part case is preserved from what the user wrote, if it's not defined to be case-sensitive. So you can do what you want, but the input data are…

    Depends on the service. I've seen verification e-mails that just contain a link with no other text. Or with texts like "Continue here: [link]".

    You don't click because you're educated in these matters. Most people are not.

    It's a user's problem. If user is willing to click through some unsolicited email and pay , he will probably click on the verification link too if the service would send those. It'…
