Show your thinking and cite your best practices.

Demonstrating best practices that you invite other people to follow requires that you properly recognize the existing best practices. And if they are conflicting then you need to say why you picked one over the other.

When you do this you set a bar for other people to join the discussion--they will need to show examples rather than asserting the color for your bike shed.

That is a good workaround.

In Chrome/Safari, this specific bug doesn't exist.

I don't think this is a "big" zero day. But if non-working navigation results in someone getting scammed then it might be big for them.

The Snapchat Pixy was an amazing drone that we loved in my family. And sad to hear that ALL of them are now recalled for fire risk.

If you missed this chapter in the drone world, Pixy was a fun yellow and very simple flying selfie machine. It had just a mode dial and a go button. My three-year-old (and anybody's) had no problem using it and having fun.

So sad to see this erased from history. And I don't know anything like it.

Just chiming in to note that "1) if your air-gapped computer has malware that can do this, you've already lost" is a problem specific to this implementation.

Other implementations exist (related work, not in 2.4G band) where it is not necessary to install malware to make measurable transmissions.

For example (shilling) https://fulldecent.github.io/system-bus-radio/ allows to broadcast just by loading a web page. And, importantly, this is an attack vector that is reasonable to execute offline (i.e. connected to a local network with HTTP services, but not the internet).

Here is what people mean when we say we don't like Section 230. And we mean it whether or not Section 230 is actually responsible.

- Advertiser uses our trademark on Google Ads? Google makes money and has editorial control. But we can't sue them.

- Somebody posts something libelous about us on Twitter? Twitter makes serious money and has editorial control. But we can't sue them.

- Fakes on eBay? Can't stop them. eBay not liable.

If Twitter is going to have a "fact checking" department, then they also need a "retractions" department. And if retraction aren't forthcoming when reasonable, then we need a cause of action against them.

Woman buys insurance to make money... and somehow she is arrested.

This reminds me of the other articles -- parents pay $500k to private university so their kids can be accepted... and then somehow they are arrested.

When articles write about people being arrest, do bother to document what is the violation.

Probably the best reading of "..." nowadays is "and making money is bad, so" or "and this made somebody higher-class than them sad, so".

Since Amazon.com is a free product, they need to make money in other ways such as inserting ads or adding their own brands to the top of product searches.

Now if only they were able to charge money for their services then maybe they would need to do this, or maybe they could even come up with a monthly subscription program for anybody visiting their website...

This site is terrible. It is a zero-effort collection of videos around one theme. And by turning these videos into copy-pasta without promoting the original sources of the video they are obscuring the and making it more difficult to fix police brutality.

A much better website would have contact information on it. And it would cite the original people that took the videos. And they could have asked those original people basic facts, such as the exact location and time of the recording.
