If you ignore the fact that the requests that these companies have made previously show incompetence, like when they randomly blocked google drive due to it being used to host copyrighted content. Do you want them randomly disabling CDNs or other sites globally if any user happens to use them for piracy?

They requested a worldwide block, as a bolivian citizen I have not voted for any italian government officials. This article seems heavily biased, ignoring this specific point is really strange.

People worried about the morality aspect could sell the exploit, donate the money and report the issue to the manufacturer anyways.

> You get 3 guesses on what happened and probably need just one.

They had no validation on file type and you could upload & access a script that executed commands server-side?

New comment by lccarrasco in "A Japanese company cut 80% of the time needed to manually count pearls"

lccarrasco — Mon, 24 May 2021 14:34:28 +0000

The picture in the bottom of the article shows that varying sizes of pearls need to be counted at the same time, making using weight very unreliable.

Even if only similar size pearls are allowed, small variations multiplied by a large amount of pearls can cause issues, such as distinguishing 100 pearls of 99 grams each from 99 pearls of 100 grams each.

What? A contractor usually will sign a contract and intellectual property agreements to their name, it's obviously not their right to share company information with a third party.

I believe that the cure for death would not be distributed evenly at first, and by the time everyone has access to it, there are two options:

1.- We haven't solved the problems caused by overpopulation, and in that case standards of living will drop and people will either have less children or choose to end their lives voluntarily.

2.- We have solved them and there is no longer any issue.

Technically you'd have to round to 20 cents, since you can't get 10, 30, 50 etc. cents from 20s.

Venmo transactions' data and the social network inferences you can make from them are probably pretty valuable on their own.
