The way the admin panel screenshot is censored is not good as per this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25326450

All those names could be recovered in theory.

A few years ago I made a modular IRC bot using ztcp. Probably comes with a bunch of security holes: https://github.com/tiagoad/zshbot/

If those mushrooms truly degraded the petroleum or plastic into something harmless, they can be simply turned into compost.

Finally we have good alternatives to Airtable coming out! I'm really liking where this is going.

If your data is reasonably valuable, it will be impossible to deter a minimally invested developer armed with puppeteer (with some modifications), residential proxy services, and captcha solving (way less than a cent per captcha). Most sites that attempt to do it hinder their users more than they do the scrapers.

It's way cheaper than that, you'll pay significantly less than a cent for each captcha.

I don't think there's more psychopathic tendencies in those positions because it's a necessity to being a successful leader. I think a lot of people crave power, and with a disregard for morals and other people in general, it's easier to attain it. Good people also make good leaders, they just need more luck and hard work to get there without kicking on everyone across their path.

Chess AI can play like humans, and win consistently (stockfish), and it can also play in completely novel ways, and win even more (alphazero)

Well... if E2EE is properly implemented, you could be broadcasting your messages on twitter and you'd still be safe.

I'm thinking the iPhone 12 Mini is going to be very popular. I see a lot of people on older iPhones refusing to switch to the monster phones.

Do you guys see any ads online? I have ublock origin on my laptop and mobile browsers, modded youtube and instagram with no ads on android. I pretty much never see any ad.

I also add the Annoyances lists to uBlock and I have the "I don't care about cookies" extension to ignore cookie popups.

This has been done in the past, but it's a violation of their ToS and gets shut down fast.

A lot of those "adaptive" LED light suck! Loads of times I'm stuck with some guy behind me with flickery, colour-changing lights pointing right at my face through the mirrors.
