No, it wouldn't.

One is a polite but firm email reminding a website administrator of their obligations under the law, and the other is a thinly-veiled threat of bodily harm.

I'm not sure which is more impressive: the ability to create such a complicated exploit or the ability to clearly describe how it works.

From a Google search[0], it looks like they've put two LEGO sets under the scanner before, but I can't find them. It would have been cool to see an archive...

"Before we continue with this assisted suicide, I'd like to thank our sponsor NordVPN"

I think it was 79 euro cents for a lifetime at first (this thread brought back memories of my installing WhatsApp on my phone while I was asleep), then it became 89 euro cents per year (except for the users who had been grandfathered in), and then came the Facebook acquisition and they made it free for everyone.

Here it is, for the uninitiated: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

I'm not sure if it matters much in this case—the analogy sadly holds up well, if not better—but

Thank you. I feel kind of stupid now.

That is surprising, because it's not true. Any calculator will confirm that 2 (2 π×6) > 2 π×9. Or am I missing something?

This isn’t entirely Google’s fault. Recipes on their own aren’t copyrighted in the US, and adding this fluff text is a way around that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the problem with applets was that they were too powerful and it took eons for vulnerabilities to be fixed.

Pretty cool! But where do you sleep?

In addition to what others have said, reqwest is notorious for being one of the more heavy-weight HTTP libraries, but luckily, it's far from the only option: https://www.arewewebyet.org/topics/http-clients/

What does it mean if I'm able to read this comment?

Here's a list of lists of unsolved problems in several fields: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_unsolved_problems

Yes. IIRC, you get a short-lived certificate tied to your Apple ID.

As far as I know, it’s only iCloud Photos.

I'm pretty sure catching this in all cases would involve solving the Halting Problem.

Having read the document, I am even more confident in Apple's approach than before. I commend Apple for its transparency.

Wiktionary tells me it stands for "sorry, could not resist".

When would this be useful?

I think I t's meant as a first line of defense in (spear-)phishing attacks. It's also off by default.

Additionally, the site wouldn't load for me. Turns out NextDNS blocked it because it's less than 30 days old, and indeed, it is[0]:
