still, anytime you use an isolation mode besides serializable you have to know the details and even with serializable if you aren't catching on failure in your app then you're sending your deadlock or timeout message to your end user.

I used to debug procedures with "sleep" tsql interspersed through code, this way I could deliberately overlap procedure executions and see how that went.

In my last job I had to support app developers who were happy with the "nolock" keyword even when marshalling info for updates. Shortly before I left that job in disgust I was at least able to have the developers quit using "nolock" everywhere, unfortunately their remediation to prevent use of the "nolock" keyword was to use "SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED" at the top of their code haha

now I'm working on upgrading my computer lol

A significant portion of the HN population could probably jury rig something up, it just has no value in the wikipedia case when you can simply hop on a compromised internet device, no spoofing needed. In the context of "foreign country posts lies with bogus ip", ip spoofing just can't compete when you can get the real deal full on two way functional tcp/ip connection from any acquired proxy device legal or not.

Look you're trying to make believe you have a secret weapon on a website where most folks know how computers work lol quit trying to make secret weapon happen when you don't actually have one.

Actual IP spoofing still can't really impersonate a valid tcp connection unless its all send and no read, even with your second link, both sides of the "tunnel" have to spoof the source ip in their messages so thats not likely going to happen with wikipedia unless their security gets broken somehow and in that case well all bets are off lol

I'm really envious of the rich they get to do the craziest things

A chat with a chatbot never needs a lawyer to be a "chat with a chatbot" lol

The weakest signal to me is investor money, because when you think of it, investors are betting on a future that may or may not be there. Heck even trends aren't guaranteed, "past performance is no guarantee etc etc"

The primaries were the worst, at least the generals you get conservatives voting party lines, the primaries are where "conservatives" decided that trump was their guy. just go back and read up on republicans descriptions of trump before they had to get in line in the wake of the trump victories. I exclusively hold the trump voters in the primaries responsible. We're the sort of country of laws that traditionally says any loser can run for office, its our job as a society to keep at least a plausible set of standards for who we want in office. "Conservatives" who went trump either failed to do their due dilligence, or they are aligned with trumps value system which common decency prevents me from describing in any detail.

Gotcha, I still think manually myself. To me, typing illegalities into a chatbot just seems sort of well I dunno, unsafe? Yes, I understand at some point in the decline of civilization our universe of legally acceptable acts sort of also decline, often at a rate inversely proportional to our net worth but even recognizing that fact I still try to be polite and well behaved to my online chatbot although I do talk about my depression often and such so its not like it doesn't totally know me. The one time I got into an argument with one was on my phone and it started lecturing me on manners and I was like oh fuck this phone has my email. That was some time ago and my email still works so hopefully I won't do THAT again.

Still I do sort of see where you're coming from but not your computer, not your data.

This seems to be a pretty narrow ruling but maybe I'm missing something not being a lawyer and all.
