a3r0··on PayPal Cert Compromised? (Phishing Emails Signed w/ Valid Cert)
It looks like a real PayPal feature they're abusing by inserting their phishing message into a generic message field. They're aiming to get you to call that number

No compromised cert needed

a3r0··on Hackers take over prominent Twitter accounts in simultaneous attack
You would think they would do something with Trump if it was arbitrary accounts. But maybe his has additional protections
a3r0··on This Video Has X Views
I was thinking it would be a video counting from 0 to 1 million or whatever. Combined with a service to redirect you to the video at the correct timestamp using YouTube's "t=1m23s" parameter.

The point about it being efficient because you're only changing one element doesn't sound correct. If you change the styles on the page, the browser is at least going to have to iterate over all of the items with the searchable class (assuming that it doesn't build some sort of index). If you did it in JS, you could try to make it more efficient by indexing the data first.

Someone just has to keep paying for the domain and hosting and it will remain forever. This is proposing that we never allow these domains to be registered again, even if they expire
a3r0··on We should retire Aaron's number
It's hardly a "small" hack. Who would be running the site, paying for bandwidth, etc. Who decides who gets a memorial like this? It's essentially creating infinitely long registrations and adding a "special case" that will remain in the internet's infrastructure forever.

Small bug: If you put the lightness slider to the maximum and then drag around the inner parts of the circle, the selected colour will flicker to black
