> How is that far enough when their head of research is a genocidal zionist?[1]

I was thinking that this is probably just a little bit extreme view for supporting Israel but boy this guy place is prison [1]

> Russia and China, the homes of state sponsored hacking

Your comment might be suggesting that the state sponsored hacking is something only China and Russia does. In this case, I have got few bridges to sell you.

New comment by bluish29 in "Techniques used by developers to bypass App Store review"

bluish29 — Sat, 03 Aug 2024 18:45:39 +0000

There are telegram channels/groups with thousands of people interested in the latest app that will survive the app store review and use it until apple takes action and cycle goes on. There are also a market for signing certificates and apple developer machines spots so more tech savvy audience could sign and install the IPAs directly.

I wonder what is the fate of this ambitious plan? Giving that there are only two commits, the first was in 2016 and then another one (converting from txt to markdown). Also, I found this [1] the funniest way of reaching out (comment on a commit)

Did he actually do that, is there somewhere where this is available? In this case, it would be more appropriate to link to that.

Whilt you are correct that CPT violation is not supported by experiments (yet), the article was mentioning explicity that this was a competition to confirm C violation.

Hint: I did not downvote you

The problem with LTSC is that it is very hard/impossible to get it legally as an individual. You can do it in unofficial way but that has its own problems.

The choice of.xyz tld is not the best choice for a security service. It is one of the worst tlds when it comes to scam.

That's probably one of these reasons that cross your mind to justify buying new domains. Which is an addiction to some folks (including me)

I think it is very expensive way to acquire 100t of gold. It is cheaper to just buy or mine them from our planet.

Texas is about 6 times bigger than Ohio. Texas is approximately 678,052 sq km, while Ohio is approximately 106,056 sq km.

The population of Texas is around 25.1 million people compared to 11.5 million in Ohio, a difference of 13.6 million people. That means about 2 times population wise.

I don't know by which size metric it is that ohio is 41 times smaller than texas?

That's a historical question. At this time, most if not all the bots were either search engines or archival. The name was even "RobotsNotWanted.txt" at the beginning but made "robots.txt" for simplicity. To give another example, Internet Archive stopped respecting it a couple of years ago, and they discuss this point (crawlers vs other bots) here [1].

> Btw nobody clicks on sources. NOBODY.

I always click on sources to verify what an LLM in this case says. I also hear the claim that a lot about people not reading sources (before LLM it was video content with references) but I always visited the sources. Is there a statistics or studies that actually support this claim? Or is it just a personal experience, of people (including me) enforcing it as generic behavior of all people?

I think it should be a maintained list of ublacklist which is very useful extension to manage the search experience on search engines (including othet engines than google).
