News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Yeah I mean its over exaggerated but I think the blast radius estimation was way too optimistic.
"It has access to email, deeper personal context [...] If it gets compromised, the blast radius is an IRC bot with a $2/day inference budget."

Dunno, if it gets compromised it has access to ironclaw. So the blast radius is email access and access to personal data. Depending on the setup the blast radius could even be 'the attacker removed the api limits by resetting password and incurred astronomic costs' or worse.

Just tried it, its a public lobby where people see each others questions?! Now the blast radius became 'hosting a public hub that was used to share CP and other illegal materials'

Same with DHL, they basically train their customer base to trust messages from random channels like whatsapp containing links. They have all the urgency/nonsense markers of spam.
hmm for being a document about typography its quite an eye sore...
Imho thats overoptimizing. To me the next larger square box is the best most flexible solution. I get the allure of perfect fit places for everything but to me its not worth the continuous effort. (I got several gridfinity drawers)

ha +1 for the build tool mess. its like everyone goes "duuude this stuff is so complex lets build something on top to abstract it all away" and you end up with another level of complex stuff that builds the stuff that builds the that wraps the stuff that you originally wanted to use...
I don't know, smells fishy
Yes please. Open -> paywall -> close.

Thats more or less prohibitively expensive, because your hiking location would be outside of parking zone most likely, thus you're on the clock the whole time. Not my idea of a relaxing experience. Looks like zipcar is even station bound which makes it worse. You have to get yourself and all the stuff to the station somehow and then take it back from there again when you are done.

I live in one of those european cities. We have at least six companies offering small electric scooters, even more for bicycles, pedelecs, larger electric scooter, cars, trucks everything. They litter the streets can be rented on a whim with your smartphone, totally hassle free. I used at least four different of these company in the last four days. BUT I still own a car, scooter and my own bicycles because it is super expensive if you use it regularly. Usually 1 Euro up front and then at least 20 cent per minute depending on the ride maybe even more. We have public transport but its depressing and annoying and also expensive. I usually go everywhere with my own bike but its broken down atm. I absolutely love driving and its basically the only way to get away from the city on the cheap! All those fancy new mobility solutions are only good for moving within the city and if you have a well paying job. I don't ever want to miss the freedom of leaving all of this expensive busy crap behind with my own car. Its all an addition but not a replacement.

And its true that if you have to rent you don't go hiking often because the money ticks away even while you are parked outside the zone (which would be the case for hiking) so you are always stressed out about hurrying. Also you always have to decide, do I want to/can I spend 50 Euros today just to go hiking? Or you know you could use your own car. Yes it also costs money but its way less and more spread out.

Dunno the brits that live in Germany can just get a unlimited residency permit without any fuss.

In Germany at least that practice is illegal as far as I know. You are not allowed to use brandnames in your meta info as well.
NO! Rocket Internet is known and have been busted for straight up copying even website source code, layout, everything. As in the source of the HTML is identical, just the color scheme changed. They are criminals make no mistake, learn how they got their riches, by scamming teenagers with ringtones.
They and their founding brothers are fricking leeches and deserve prison for life!

Pff, I am from Europe and if i want to go to say China its the exact same process. blah blah
I run a business and I do not ship to Switzerland simply because the hassle is too big and there are hard to calculate risks involved. It is just not feasible. Dealing inside the EU is pretty much the same as it would be within borders.
This sounds like a huge deal to me. Lets say you want to invest and built a presence in a new market. Until now if you wanted to go to Europe you could have picked UK as you main point of operation, now you have to decide, huge market with easy open trade or UK.

This thing is so stupid. Each time I read about it it boggles my mind. Its "The Homer" of coolers. Looks like one of those crappy multifunctional things they would sell on tv with even more crap tacked onto it. And then theres the price... I don't get it.

Welp, thats the point of bootstrap. To provide a nice default layout so you can quickly slap together a page that is beautiful and works so you can focus on other things.
