The line must always go up.

And by line, I mean ladder. Pulled up by the people who got in early or had nepotistic connections. While they tower above us and demand we run inside a hamster wheel for the privilege of being alive.

Oh boy do I love our currently-fucked society.

Because a subset of people are and always will be idiots. Remember: some people think unions exist to steal your money, socialism is communist dictatorship propaganda, and privatization of government services is good for everybody.

Obligatory fuck Nintendo, but I also blame the selfish dumbfucks who keep posting videos of themselves playing unreleased games on YouTube and Reddit. If you want nice things contingent on having software which exists in a legal gray area, don't openly poke the litigious hornets' nest.

From a theoretical point of view, emulators of modern consoles may actually be illegal. Under the DMCA, emulation for preservation is protected as a periodically-renewed exemption list defined by the library of congress. But, (paraphrasing) "creating or distributing any hardware or software device—or component of such—designed to circumvent DRM technology" is still illegal irrespective of any exemptions. A reasonable (and bullshit) interpretation of that means that any emulator which is capable of bypassing any DRM features (such as decrypting ROM using user-provided keys) is a violation under the act.

I say theoretical because it hasn't ever actually been tested in a court. Nintendo v. Tropic Haze LLC nearly gave us the answer, but the latter chose to settle instead.

Comment OP appears to have drank the Epic Games Kool-aid.

They have a monopoly on video game distribution.

They have a massive marketshare, but that doesn't make them a monopoly. Developers are still free to distribute their games through any other storefront/launcher, and Valve isn't going out of its way to engage in anticompetitive practices like exclusive publishing deals with third-party studios.

He lacks the warmth and depth to be one.

Use a library. It's far too easy for developers or project managers to fuck up the minimum requirements for safely storing passwords.

But, if you are wanting to do it by hand...

• Don't use a regular hashing algorithm, use a password hashing algorithm
• Use a high iteration count to make it too resource-intensive to brute force
• Salt the hash to prevent rainbow tables
• Salt the hash with something unique to that specific user so identical passwords have different hashes

Sounds like my bank.

Next time, Israel might be a bit more compassionate and return smallpox-covered blankets instead of unidentified biohazards. /s

If you're using a decent development system, you'll have an executable called diff installed already :)

Could be worse. I never liked the idea of blocking "hiding" your content from other people to begin with. It makes it too easy to give trolls the confirmation they succeeded in getting under your skin, encouraging them to make another account to continue harassing their victim.

"We have thoroughly investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing. On an unrelated note, is anybody willing to sell us some more white phosphorus?"

I'll believe it when I see legitimate proof of it. Nothing against Tesla engineers, but "management" has historically overpromised both capabilities and timelines while simultaneously underdelivering products and fabricating evidence to their claims.

Window glass makers are going to make a fortune!

Come on, this is Google we're talking about. The ads come before opening the app.

Video content never changes, but the order and content of ads do. Automated browser, record the video 2-3 times. Diff the frames and slice out the ones that don't match between runs.

I haven't read the white paper yet, but I really hope they only created the protocol part of this system. It's easy enough to fuck that up alone, and even easier to fuck up crypto algorithms and their implementations.

Considering the fucker made a similar statement and is yet to see consequences, not enough.
