illliillll··on A missing underscore sent innocent man to prison for 18 months
> This is an unhinged ad hominem attack

Do you see any fighting words from me? No? That's because there were none. It is downright hilarious of you to accuse me of an "ad hominem attack".

You call me barbaric and unhinged because you find my opinion unpleasant. You turned the conversation to personal attacks, and you chose to make my criticism of your person relevant to the conversation.

Of course it is relevant that you, the person accusing me of being barbaric, are someone who voluntarily hands out their money to fund executions.

Maybe consider whether or not this approach to moderation truly helps you reach the goal you desire. You could equally well have asked me to use less inflammatory wording without resorting to irrelevant personal attacks.

> who operate for months unimpeded.

So wait, it seems like you're claiming that you're receiving spam from the same gmail/outlook address for months.

This is fascinating and I have a hard time believing it, might you be able to share some headers?

OTOH, if the spammers are forced to frequently switch accounts, they're clearly being impeded.

FIFA can't really exist in any way similar to it's current form without UEFA

> You're excluding about half of the planet by only mentioning Africa.

It's the half of the planet that nobody cares about when it comes to football.

Tom, you live in a democratic country where the death penalty is codified in law as a legitimate punishment for certain crimes.

What is it in the guidelines that should keep me from arguing in favour of expanding the scope of such penalties to also cover other, perhaps more harmful behaviour?

> is a barbaric, medieval reaction to a modern scenario.

You are inherently calling US voters at large barbarians and medieval here.

You may not share my views on how misconduct by judicial officials should be treated, but you can hardly condemn my opinion as illegitimate given the country you choose to live and pay taxes in. Taxes which fund executions carried out by your government.

What spammers are using the same domain for longer than couple of hours?

What do you expect to achieve by blocking an already abandoned domain?

Obsessing about intent here is so gross.

A careless psychopath firing a gun into a crowd doesn’t necessarily care if he hits anyone. Despite the lack of intent, most would consider that careless psychopath worse than an individual that commits premeditated homicide for a reason other than “fun”.

Intent is irrelevant. The person firing a gun into a crowd knows the consequences of their actions just as well as a lazy judge or prosecutor does.

Of course it wasn’t, this could never happen to a judge who is really serious about having things proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

The evidence presented in this case wouldn’t have satisfied that standard even if all the underscores lined up.

illliillll··on A missing underscore sent innocent man to prison for 18 months
That’s absurd.

The standard in Canada is “beyond a reasonable doubt”, a standard which does not leave much room for “honest, human mistakes” if you actually take it seriously.

If the judge bothered to review the evidence, he’d presumably have been baffled by the fact that nothing has been recovered from the defendant connecting him to the crime. This judge chose to not do that and chose not to be baffled, that wasn’t an honest mistake.

Why are AI critics so lazy? Why does this have to be treated as a matter of faith rather than something to be logically reasoned about?

They did send lawyers to my door in the end though.

illliillll··on Ask HN: If OpenAI hacked HuggingFace, why aren't OpenAI prosecuted?
Aaron was offered two plea deals, one that carried 4 months and another with 6 months but a chance to plead with the judge for a lesser, perhaps entirely noncustodial sentence.

It’s a particularly poor example of government cruelty.

illliillll··on Ask HN: If OpenAI hacked HuggingFace, why aren't OpenAI prosecuted?
Lawbreaking is almost never prosecuted, so you’ll have to explicitly explain the reasoning behind your question.

Far less than 1% of all crime which happens is prosecuted, why should OpenAI be prosecuted?

Since the necessary context isn’t provided, this just seems like an utterly stupid question. The obvious answer is “OpenAI probably isn’t being prosecuted because crimes are almost never prosecuted”.

It’s like asking why I don’t get arrested every time I get stopped shitfaced drunk at the La Turbie police checkpoint. The answer is obvious: The cops are looking for brown people, there are no taxis here and after 2am everyone driving in the vicinity of Monaco will be drunk. i.e. nobody gives a shit

illliillll··on Kimi K3 exploited the latest Redis server
What kind of utterly useless sysadmin relies on authenticated redis admin surfaces to be memory safe?

What crazy environment requires low priority nothingburger bugs like this to be fixed during the weekend?

illliillll··on Kimi K3 exploited the latest Redis server
This is a deeply uninteresting example for anyone clueful. It’s an authenticated RCE in redis, anyone even vaguely familiar with the codebase knows to not expect there to be any real security boundary in place here.

Don’t confuse this with an unauthenticated RCE, that would actually matter. Absolutely anyone can shit out endless bugs like this with AFL, this is an extremely messy unhardened surface that expects trusted inputs.

If you’re ordering “sparkling wine”, you are not going to get a wine made using the méthode traditionnelle.

You will get an entirely different style of wine.

The origin location is really secondary. “Franciacorta” gets you something like Champagne, “sparkling wine” does not.

Extremely good chance this particular issue is resolved by merely wiping clean the contacts on the AirPods and the charging case.
illliillll··on EU Exempts Apple Watch and AirPods from Battery Removal Requirements
This is probably just your AirPods or the case getting dirty, doesn’t sound like a failing battery at all.
illliillll··on EU Exempts Apple Watch and AirPods from Battery Removal Requirements
Loss obviously being the #1.

Dropping, and then stepping on them seems like a common failure mode.

Dirt can stop the charging, most people will just replace instead of cleaning.

Even replacing the rubber tips is probably too much to expect from most people.

illliillll··on EU Exempts Apple Watch and AirPods from Battery Removal Requirements
This seems kind of obvious. How many Apple Watches and AirPods have ever become obsolete due to their batteries not being replaceable?

I’d guess the number is pretty close to zero, these devices aren’t used for long enough for this to become a problem.

If the goal was to sell more AirPods, not implementing “Find My” for them would’ve been a much better strategy.

At least here in Europe, even children know that “sparkling wine” and “champagne” refer to different things.
