I open my Windows 10 start menu, type in 'timer', and no results are found. Same for 'stopwatch'.

The google timer just worked.


Both 'timer' and 'stopwatch' suggest the Clock app to me in Windows 10. When I open it there is timer and stopwatch functionality available in the menus.


Your wisdom and compassion shines through.


What, you mean like, wiped it with a cloth? throws head back and cackles


Does that mean Twilio sends an alert every time some random webscraper tries to GET some favicon or /admin path that doesn't exist on the server? Doesn't that happen hundreds of times each day?


>I'm very worried of the trend that everyone demands speech control to fix something they see as an issue(be it legitimate issue or not). >Netflix makes gay, Google make Woke, Youtube kills people with high voltage currents ,Facebook makes Nazi, TikTok kills the environment - depending on who you ask. I'm really getting very tired of this cancel culture. Destroy something, remove something

Small and independent websites have been taken offline for less. Why should these conglomerates who extinguished the original web be given a free pass? Ban them all, I say.


I think small and independent should also not be taken down. I also don't advocate for free pass, I say we shouldn't look for solution in cancellation of people or platforms.

Close the website or ban the users should never be our first response. As I said, we should demand tools to counter this.

For example, environment protection groups can demand exposure, i.e. a link or a paragraph under the videos of the people who do these questionable things.

If this behaviour is an actually damaging thing, reach the kids in school to tell them what's the problem with it.


I'll ask the opposite, how could you NOT see this being abused?

As YouTube shows, there are plenty of police officers who hate when bystanders film, and retaliate at every chance.

Now all they have to do is run up on you and arrest you for being within a 8 foot proximity? They are going to love it.


Since when do you get sued for breaching TOS?


Since you start a business on the violation.

"Since when do I get sued for taking too many free samples from Costco?" -> "Since you started taking millions of them to resell"


im not sure on american law, but if you give me those samples willingly i can do whatever i want with them.

Actually this is the reason why many products come with the lable "not for resale" but i have yet to find somebody who cares about it :D


>give me those samples willingly

Doesn't seem like Facebook is giving them willingly.


Since when do you get sued for breaching a contract? When the offense is worth it.


You can get sued for anything that causes harm.

Relevant life lesson: don't do things to people with money that they might perceive as harm.

Corollary: Being sued is as much punishment as losing a suit for most people.


I don't know but it's at least been that way since Aaron Swartz did it I suppose.


Techniques like this could make curl|bash more prone to malicious activity: https://www.idontplaydarts.com/2016/04/detecting-curl-pipe-b...


You're running untrusted binaries anyway in the end, so I don't think this is anything more than a neat party trick.


But this technique lets you serve malicious code to a small number of people using curl|bash, rather than hosting obviously-bad binaries that anyone can inspect and call you out on. It also lets you target the attack to specific users or IP blocks.

The previous HN discussion said it better than I can: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17636032


Moreutils has two programs that would trivially defeat this:

`sponge` reads the full input before passing it on

`vipe` inserts your editor inline, so you can view/modify the input before passing it on to bash (change an install directory, etc)


>The primal drive is only of sex.

What about people who turn down sex when they know the other party can't have kids?


This website appears to be based in Europe, is that where all the imageboard trolls live?
