The band Chvrches chose to use the the Roman "u" to spell their name so they'd be easier to search.

Kind of hard to pronounce though. Like that jewellery brand, seemingly pronounced 'buffelgary' or something.

Sorta. It's still pronounced "churches", but it's definitely a common joke to pronounce it chivurches.

Nice to see Bobby Tables is all grown up. Relevant discussion on the Companies House Developer Forum: https://forum.aws.chdev.org/t/cross-site-scripting-xss-softw...

Bobby Tables would be https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/c... Not to be confused with the equally inspired https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/c...

I was wondering how much it costs to open a company in the UK to do something like that, and it seems to be really cheap (and quick):

a) Incorporate directly via Companies House

The standard registration fee to set up a company is just £12 for the ‘standard’ Companies House web incorporation service, which takes up to 24 hours to turnaround. You can pay via credit card, debit card or PayPal.

I giggled at the previous company name being redacted as “[NAME AVAILABLE ON REQUEST FROM COMPANIES HOUSE]” too. Not sure if that’s a common thing to do or if they made an exception for these shenanigans so they didn’t have to display the XSS.

Because there are a bunch of companies which do aggregation of information about companies, and not all of them used parameterized SQL queries :-/

This is HTML injection, not SQL.

That’s kind of a minor detail.

Now someone just has to register "[NAME AVAILABLE ON REQUEST FROM COMPANIES HOUSE]" as a company name...

better find a nickname, like D's community did, using dlang lol otherwise no one could find anything on language googling

how hard would it be to learn BASIC using Google? "Basic Programming" is going to have a lot of irrelevant results.

I've often wondered if any metallurgists have tried to run computer simulations of the annealing process. How would you find their research if they had?

I found your company name in your profile - ":different" Even if I google ":different" company or without the colon, top results for me is a parfumerie. When I google different australia , you're the top result.

Surprised New Zealand isn't the top result when you Google "different Australia"

Because it's East Australia

Actually yes :) At least the optimization crowd don't use the phase 'heat treatment', which helps somewhat. But who I really feel bad for is the recruiters trying to hire a chemist who specialises in the element lead.
