I mean you need to have a client-id and their permissions for any outside request coming to server.

I’m using Golang in my webserver but it wouldn’t hand-out secret pages as requesting client wouldn’t have authority to do so.

I feel like Golang's UTF8 handling is the least of the worries for these kinds of attacks, it points out that entire backend system was constructed wrongly, number one rule of any backend systems: You cannot trust the client.

So long as I don’t need servers in the USA why should I choose a USA based cloud provider?

I feel like I’m missing a point here.

Anyway I feel like this is a blessing in disguise, stuff like this can cause Tech giants to lose huge market share in the long term future.

It is good that people are forming other organic communities completely separate from Google/FB/Twitter.

Is this because BTC price has risen sharply recently?

You don’t have to be genius to understand what is going on: USA printed trillions and gave most of it to already rich people. What are they supposed to do with that money? Only option is buying more real estate, buying stock of their companies, or investing in BTC.

Keep in mind that these trillions hasn’t flow into these assets yet but it will keep flowing and you will see these asset prices increasing.

In essence, if you don’t own any real estate, company stock or BTC then you will essentially own nothing because thieves already sucked all the fiat to its own end.

Funny thing is bitcoin is only a small technology that will hurt the fiat system, there are more such disruptive technologies on the way but governments are far too stupid to see the writing on the wall.

It is an amazing feature, I still can’t believe no major OS includes something similar as default.

I’ll have to ask then, what proof is there that Russia did this hack? Do you realise how hard it is to track professional hackers? You will have to trace the entire network commands up to a source and hope that it is registered under their name.

I genuinely cannot believe people here think that government managed to find the source of the hack in couple of days, that is just pure propaganda aimed for people with little to no knowledge about computer security.

Right now central banks are printing money and giving it to already insanely rich people, how does that help economic growth and quality of life?

At least bitcoin will be a little more democratic so that it will grow the economy better than current fiat system.

Normally best system would be a nationalised central bank that is actively trying to increase quality of life of citizens but as you can see we are not living in an ideal world.

Random internet user would purchase an account if service provided value for them. For example, maybe they can create forums via this system for their gaming guild etc.

Yes, advertisers can purchase an account but there might be a popular moderator who bans these viral advertisements, based on popularity of ad-blocker I imagine such an moderator would get bunch of subscribers. Perhaps moderators can make some money through their subscribers as well, might be an interesting scheme.

Also spot price is pretty strong deterrent for advertisers especially if they keep getting banned through popular moderators.

One good solution to this problem is as following:

* In order to post content, accounts must be purchased based on a spot fee. For example, if suddenly 10 fold more people want to open accounts then spot price will rise to 60 dollars from a base price of 6 dollars.

* This can be done through BTC payments instead of dollars to protect identity of account owners a bit.

* Users should be able to hand-select moderators and if wanted, review their actions transparently. This will eliminate all unfair moderation and provide huge value to users. An user still can get banned by a moderator but only people who subscribe to that moderator will assume user is banned.

* As accounts are bought to post content, there won’t be any advertisement. There might be some subscription fee though.

* All this can be done in a decentralised framework to increase resilience.

You will have to fill DMCA and if they don’t take it down then claim github stole it.

Any information that needs security from nation state level requires physical data diodes.

I guess you can use the method you mentioned for protection against lower level actors.

They already abuse this, I would even go as far and say that huge portion of data collection is just for industrial espionage to prop up government backed companies.

If you are developing a novel algorithm or even a different approach to AI then you should absolutely setup an offline work office otherwise either USA or China will take your work and give it to a government backed company. It also doesn’t matter if your company is located in the USA or if you are an American citizen, so long as you don’t have governmental connections, you have to be 100% more careful as game is pretty much rigged.

Organisms are evolved to utilise short life-spans to quickly adapt changing environmental conditions.

Let’s assume humanity finds a cure to death and also without dwelling into dystopia that this finding is cheaply available to everyone. What will most likely happen is that bad ideas will haunt the humanity forever as older generations won’t die and remove their bad ideas with them. There might come a point that humanity will completely collapse due to rule by elders where they can be expected to accumulate much of the available wealth. So bad ideas of older generations can lead to total collapse of species.

Honestly I don’t see anything other than dystopia occurring with the cure to death, regardless if it is expensive or cheap.

I’m also impressed people want to live forever, this is something I cannot possibly understand, don’t people at least want to see what is at the other side? Do they think they will never get bored from material existence?

Was it through the legal ways as in a government entity said that it must be shut-down or through some other methods from third parties?

Their fiat system is about to crash and the exactly same people that caused the crash is saying that they will solve the problems they created through centralised digital currencies? Oh please, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, you can't get fooled again.

Do you think market(consumers) for GUI design software will increase or decrease in future? I do believe it will increase as more and more companies need in-house software. Also, it is worth noting QT has ~60 million dollars in revenue and that is definitely in the ballpark of VC backed money. You would probably have to deliver 10 million on a 1 million investment.

It mostly boils down to marketing and some quality of life improvements. Do you got a sales staff? Again, I'm in the gamedev business so I got no deep-down knowledge about GUI designer market but marketing costs are about 100% of development costs for desktop games (at the very very low end) and up to 1000% of development cost for mobile games. So in game development, marketing is the bulk of the cost, and development costs aren't all that important.

What do you think marketing costs are for GUI designers, or do you know how much QT spends on that? As an user I feel like Sciter is lacking good marketing at this stage but you can only know that and chart your way.

Please don't take any of the above advice too seriously because again I'm just a game developer, you will have to figure out this stuff yourself.

Both Patreon and Kickstarter is oriented towards consumer goods but Sciter is a B2B product. Software-wise people use Kickstarter and Patreon for consumer goods like games where you need literally thousands of fans to be profitable.

Sciter is a really good quality software and I believe it can overtake QT in future, but I got a feeling you might want to go with VC funding and possibly change the business model.
