I can understand the frustration but let's face it: you cannot fool huge email providers such as Gmail. They have huge userbases and if their users mark some of your messages as spam then you're screwed.

I am email admin since 2003 and I have real email users, i don't take customers who send any sort of automated messages, and I never had any issues besides the occasional compromised mailbox once in a while, and that was way back in the day...

I think it is obvious that the author just wants to come out as the great hero bounty hunter he is and in fact did reach the HN front page, so good for them.

If he wanted to solve it he would automatically sue them back for breaching his and his clients' personal data and not make any publicity blog post.

HN is not the rest, it is not the majority. It's for a specific tech-savvy social category. This category does want skepticism and criticism because they tend to be perfectionists. This is not "negative sentiment" anything but very positive "evrika!" sentiment for members of the aforementioned category.

Would one say: nice attempt trying to tell people how they are supposed to feel around here?

When i think about it, I would be absolutely terrified by smartphone cameras. Think laptop accessories that cover the webcam - haven't seen any of those for smartphones. Yet we trust a green dot with all our heart nowadays. Back in the day when cameras started showing up on mobile phones there were even versions of popular business feature phones that lacked the camera (Nokia E51 if i recall correctly), probably triggered by requirements of clients with strict information security standards.

It seems we all learned to stop worrying and love the cameras.

It should be pretty clear already that anything which is based (limited?) to communicating words/text can never grasp conceptual thinking.

We have yet to design a language to cover that, and it might be just a donquijotism we're all diving into.

Ubuntu 22.04 user here. Indeed it hangs when out of memory, never had the time to properly address this but i will try to follow the advice provided here in the thread. My servers that run Centos or Debian just do this thing called OOMkill on a ram hungry process, out of the box.

What happens is that you in fact lend part of your brain to all the data that you see on your screen. You don't realize it but your subconscious mind sees senses a lot of stuff your conscious mind is not aware about. Until you see it after you just talked about it thinking it was your idea and panic.

What you actually talk about with people (excluding maybe the proffesional stuff) is mundane stuff you see on your screens, newspapers, billboards, etc.

International law always sanctioned a state's intervention in another state's affairs. In addition to this very well known fact by jurists, there is also recent works in the field contradicting your position.

"International law prohibits states from intervening in the internal and external affairs of other states [...] as coercion-as-control, an action materially depriving the victim state of its ability to control its sovereign choices. This may be done even through acts like cyber operations that the victim state is entirely unaware of." [1]

hey! so i got a cdn for video made of 4 bare metals and 2 are newer and more powerful so i give them each 2 ip addresses from the 6 addresses replied by dns for the respective a record. but from a very diverse pool of devices (proprietary set top boxes, smart tv sets, mobile clients ios and android, web browsers, etc) i still get ~40% of traffic on the older servers instead of the expected 33% given 2 out of 6 ip addresses resolved as dns a records for these hosts. why?

rule should be: you feed it, you become responsible for it, its deeds, it becomes your pet. or you pay the responsible authorities who will take care of the animal and make everything socially peaceful at the same time so no one will cry.

sort of utopia

i really don’t understand how it came to this anyway. the industry is so stubborn. what is not clear here? you should not spy on your site visitors for marketing purposes.

when you join a poll you do so with consent, when a market/social/political research entity invites you to a focus group (for example) you get at least a coffee and snack if not real money.

websites just get this for granted? it’s like stealing. it will never stop until the industry gets some understanding of these concepts.
