Yandex reverse image search is very good. I use it more than tineye, bing, or goog. It either gives you the exact matches if it can find them, or else it can infer what is desired and show many similar matches.

Agree. Here are two comparisons of some searches - [https://i.imgur.com/RmMWSG4.png] and [https://i.imgur.com/sIOhx6y.png] In 2022 even Bing beats Google..

I never realized that reverse image search was so bad because of regulations. Can you give me some more context about which regulations affect google reverse image search and why?

I don’t know about reverse image search but I believe the previous poster had this in mind: https://time.com/5163852/google-view-image-search-remove/

Another story about Google image search when they removed "View Image" button just to end the feud with Getty Images.

Yandex translation and maps were also substantially better than Google in Russia when I traveled there in 2019

I like that I can just drag & drop or paste any image into Yandex Translate website and it translates anything, also it has a better language detection than google translate, so you don't have to waste time to look the language you want to translate from. So far I haven't found any alternative, other than Bing translate desktop app...

Yandex might be the most popular search engine in Russia, but also they're by far the most popular logistics company for private people here. They do deliveries (food, groceries, other goods), taxis, moving vans and so on - all strongly Yandex branded. If you walk around the streets of Russia's big cities, their brand is absolutely omnipresent (and also in some former Soviet countries, like Armenia). Eating into thei…

In Russia the copyright rules are more relaxed though. As long as you stay small nobody will enforce it

No, they are not. Laws are about the same.

It wasn't google-able per the OPs instructions, but this did the trick. Thanks digianarchist! Archive links: https://archive.today/h5XJs https://web.archive.org/web/20230125224316/https://breached....

It can be found on Yandex too!

Skynet is a command execution and metric collection layer used in basic cluster ops. Nothing cool to be honest. Essentially it allows you to run a command on all the hosts matching a predicate. This was the easiest way to disrupt a whole datacenter for those who had enough privileges, I did it at least once. Also several times unnoticed bugs in my code shut down literally everything for noticeable periods of time. I'…

There's no confirmation about the number of machines the script is going to affect?

It's eventual consistency all the way, so it actually doesn't really know how many machines are there

Yes, I’m partially implying that and the records speak for themselves.

I would love to see the records that you are referring to. Not isolated incidents, rather something suggestive that one could confidently bring a sympathy-based argument in deference of law and expect a high probability of succeeding.

I wasn’t saying anything about sympathy. If you think US courts are fair, I’d suggest you do your own research.

That does not necessarily mean it could not provide some useful info about that. E.g. it could run a ping on all eligible machines and show total count of responses in real time for the currently typed filter.

You don't need to hack Yandex. The entire monorepostory is synced on every intern's laptop, and you can do whatever your want with the files. I always wondered how it hasn't been leaked before to be honest.

> The entire monorepostory is synced on every intern's laptop, If they're still using Subversion, why would that be? Subversion lets you check out just part of a repo. (Then again, interns, I guess.)

They don't. SVN is an option, but the vast majority use in-house VCS called Arc.
