My experience doing the same: lying about my degree on my resume, apologizing later ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
jotadambalakiri··on Sir, Please Step Away from the ASR-33 (2010)
We literally have to: https://github.com/ASCII-Rightholders/the_characters

Unless, of course, we want to buy the not too generously priced license

jotadambalakiri··on Ahoyo – Build a single-page online presence
Maybe don't include my location without asking?
jotadambalakiri··on [dead]
You can make the choice in your head too
jotadambalakiri··on Apple Entrepreneurship Camp for Women
I read it as Entrepreneurship Cams :)
jotadambalakiri··on Ferret – Declarative web scraping
I wouldn't scrape over Tor, you would be slowing down the network for people who actually need it. Maybe if you are running a node.
jotadambalakiri··on $36k Google App Engine RCE
I don't think it's so easy to sell a vulnerability on the black market. If you send the code first they will have no incentive to send the money, if you get the money, you might not send the code.
jotadambalakiri··on Why a Dutch court stopped high school students from swapping schools (2017)
> In fact, whenever two students win each other’s jackpot trade, there must always be a third student that’s higher on the ranking at one of the schools — and that wants a spot at this school

>What makes this censorship particularly consequential is that “96 percent of Palestinians said their primary use of Facebook was for following news.” That means that Israeli officials have virtually unfettered control over a key communications forum of Palestinians.

I think the second sentence doesn't follow so clearly from the first one to warrant a "that means".

jotadambalakiri··on The fake Facebook profile industry
One of the worst thing about it is that they seemed to have started this not to make money but to have fun and hurt some people.
jotadambalakiri··on “Let her speak please”

jotadambalakiri··on Facebook's tentacles reach further than people think
I always read these articles to the end hoping I would find some substance and I am always diappointed.
jotadambalakiri··on Obama Commutes Bulk of Chelsea Manning’s Sentence
I am surprised to see no 'WINNING' from Breitbart.
jotadambalakiri··on Google’s top news link for ‘final election results’ is a fake news site
Wow, self-criticism from WaPo? I applaude that.
jotadambalakiri··on GreatAgain.gov
The 'Download video' option under 'My Dad' hit me hard
jotadambalakiri··on Learning about evolution from species who thrive without sexual reproduction
I don't understand what nautil.us tries to be, it seems neither more interesting nor more scientific than the science/tech column of any major newspaper.
jotadambalakiri··on Donald Trump’s Contract with the American Voter [pdf]
So you can sign a copy of the contract that only you will have? I don't think that's the way contracts are made.
