You say, "you'd be more upset if you have nothing" but that is the actual reality for people actually living here. Our system is extremely fickle and contrary to popular belief, does not directly reward hard work with success. I know many people that work very hard jobs, that make a tiny fraction of what probably the lowest earners on this forum make.

You'll see the reporting is totally skewed (huge surprise). He identified certain low ranking military members being effectively thrown under the bus for small things, or things it's dubious they even did. While the Australian gov continues to protect the real psychos: special forces and the top brass.

Yeah, but as you pointed out the one thing you can't do is get the cookie. Having the auth token yourself as the attacker is a way different story then just having XSS vulnerabilities. You can still "do" a lot, but you still have to get another user with the token you want to interact with the page with your XSS to "do" what you want.

So yeah, when they would catch a thief they would receive some pretty harsh punishment. But it didn't stop much. Theft in the middle ages was rampant.

Humans are pretty bad at making calculations involving a really bad outcome at a 5% chance of happening, or those sorts of things. Theft persists today as it did then, just because it's really hard to investigate and so generally goes unpunished.

Catnip is a result of my frustration with every other RSS reader forcing some horrible reader mode down your throat. I wanted something that was just a simple interface of aggregated links, like hacker news. So that's what you get if you'd like to try it.

Suffice it to say there are other things you can do besides just a central relaying server, but it's the most common architecture.

Catnip is an RSS web app with two main differentiators: - it's an RSS 'aggregator', not a reader mode. I believe the browser itself is the optimal reader. Every RSS app has a bespoke reader mode that tends to suck in comparison to the browser itself. - it has a frontpage that's an aggregate of some popular feeds, making it useful without an account. I plan on adding some boosting of popular feeds once I have users.

Who precisely do you think has 90% of the power in 90% of businesses? And before you say 'the shareholders, duh', the venn diagram of the PMC and shareholders of these massive corporations is a circle. The ruling class is the PMC. They run the corporations. How could it be any other way?
