GDPR hysteria.

> Attackers are opportunistic and low level attacks need resources not available to as many as app level vulnerabilities.

Which resources are you talking about?

Anyhow, I strongly disagree with your conclusion. I hope these vulnerabilities spur people on to install NoScript (i.e. block JS) and thereby reduce a very, very significant attack vector.

Quicker one: start calling it 'identity fraud'

Actually, when I see MeshTags I assume "they're" just trying to sell me an cumbersome url shortening serivce.

By the way, the assumption that people don't/won't use QR codes is wrong. Here's one example: Chinese associate QR codes with product information (ex.: scanning a code on a bottle of soda).

Many people don't use QR codes but I think your assumption (QR codes will evermore be perceived as commercials) is totally off base.

Couldn't it be argued that it (take down notice for 127.0.0.1) can -only- be a deliberate misstatement?

WB can not argue that the 'chance' of 127.0.0.1 hosting copyrighted content is anything but non-zero. This means that sending out take down notices regarding 127.0.0.1 are nonsense (i.e. deliberate misstatement).

I'm sorry to say that the "mailing yourself" strategy doesn't work in most countries (doesn't work in the US, for example).

Edit: here's a snopes article regarding "poor man's copyright" with a few links to sources/more information: http://www.snopes.com/legal/postmark.asp

I'm prompted to visit the "global website" because "this website is for the U.S.". The redirect does not take me to a "Square Dashboard App".

You should probably define "maintenance", otherwise it's very difficult to agree on such a system.

These throwbacks have a way of being very topical. 12th item on Hacker News that day for me is "The Next SourceForge": "SourceForge has been rethought, reimplemented, and rejuvenated."

If someone "just" bought something in your shop (as mentioned in the article) you shouldn't bother them. If you're running a business like this, managing expectations is a large part of your job.

When discussions with customers occur frequently maybe it's time to review how your business is communicating with customers. What can be done to prevent misunderstandings regarding using laptops/hogging tables? etc.

I can't believe the responses I'm reading here.

People, if you do the following: divert users you suspect will leave a low rating to an external service and direct users you think will leave a high rating to the play store... you're scamming the system. You are absolutely abusing the way the Play Store works, what reviews and rankings mean within the ecosystem of the Play Store and worst of all, you are _most definitely_ abusing the trust of your customers.

Why are people happily admitting they're doing this? It's a scam!

You can probably recover your playlist. (Instructions for Chrome)

On the computer you used grooveshark on: visit the website, open developer tools, open "resources tab", click on local storage->grooveshark.com. Now find the key called 'libraryXXXXXX' where the X's are numbers. Right-click it, "edit value" and copy/paste that data here: https://json-csv.com.

You're seriously telling his kids what to do? Get real. Kids love to read comics: comics have great value for kids. Colours, heroes, secret hideouts and cool punchlines. Why wouldn't kids (male & female) want that? Why shouldn't they?

The next time you're about to tell someone('s kids) what to enjoy, remember that what you like is not necessarily what others like.

The writer of the article didn't 'complain about anything'. The complaint is very specific: lots of comics in the comic book store he visited featured more adult illustrations that he and his kid would've liked to see. Valid complaint that doesn't have anything to do with 'attitudes'.

This isn't what "open society" means. In your view, what would we do with people that discriminate based on gender, or skin colour? We cannot tolerate this. Any society must strive to ensure equal rights to its members.

Edit: we're not going to have this debate for every minority group. This equal rights thing is happening, whether you like it or not.

Do you know Pandora? If you can't access the site, you could use a browser extension called "MediaHint". There's also http://rd.io/.

Public assistance is offered to maintain livable conditions. It would seem that qualifying for assistance does the opposite of what you think it does- it produces a "livable salary".

Cool idea! The interface is a tad heavy (for me) though, the fans of my laptop spun up.

I noticed that by looking at the memory usage of the ssh daemon, one can determine how many people are connected with ssh. Every open connection (even if you're just idling at the login phase) adds around three to five mb to memory use. I wonder what other information might be unintentionally relayed through these metrics.

The "Russel Brand" link (just before the footnotes) is pointing to the wrong url.

This must mean that first-time buyers more often than not can not purchase a median-priced house, (ie. the median-priced housing segment is largely unavailable to first-time buyers because either the median price is too high or the capital of first-time buyers is too low).

What kind of "extreme feminists" are you talking about, and why would you be glad to "see the rage"? It sounds like you'd like to verify your opinion on feminism by considering the arguments of a fringe minority.

>there's plenty of highly educated women who are sufficiently steeped in feminism (due to the process of acquiring that higher education) to see this as perfectly fair payback for patriarchy's many evils, and to use it without regret.

Your implicit attack on morals derived from feminism reveals a failure to understand feminism and its ideals and effects. Furthermore, demonizing "plenty of highly educated women" as eye-for-an-eye combatants seeking revenge for patriarchy isn't just silly, it's offensive.
