Ask HN: What loophole are you currently exploiting?

Python bytecode was shipped in a commercial application; I once took half an hour to figure out what arguments the scripts were accepting (by decompiling the bytecode). This has allowed me to generate some license-free objects to be used externally, an option supposed to be only available at additional cost (an add-on my org didn't purchase). I'm still undecided between "that's what you get when you are ignorant enough to ship confidential code as Python bytecode" and "let's be nice and report an issue". In the meanwhile I've been using this for about 2 years now and never told anyone about it.

I am employed, but I went back to university (while working) so I’m technically a student.

I managed to get the acm student subscription, because I wanted to check it out.

I’m glad I did that because after one year or cacm and xrds, I don’t really aee the point of it.

80% of the cacm issues are either opinions, shallow essays, marketing or self-congratulatory celebrations. The remaining 20% is advertising.

Meh.

You start.
