What ?

"Hey, it could be worse". < what your comment reads as .

What if : "How can it be better?" ? ? < what it could be !


Yes, surprisingly, there is no other news source that I've found as yet. Worth noting, in the email from HIBP, they include the following full information: "Breach: Trello Date of breach: 16 Jan 2024 Number of accounts: 15,111,945 Compromised data: Email addresses, Names, Usernames Description: In January 2024, data was scraped from Trello and posted for sale on a popular hacking forum. Containing over 15M email addresses, names and usernames, the data was obtained by enumerating a publicly accessible resource using email addresses from previous breach corpuses. Trello advised that no unauthorised access had occurred."


> scraped from Trello

they'll argue it isn't a hack then, intentionally public endpoint


I don't know about Trello, but i understand why B2B SaaS have this problem. The main issue is the ability to support various authentication systems, protocols, eg. Okta SSO, Google, Password, Mobile apps, Custom SAML and dozens of other enterprise-y stuff.

To be able to support that most apps do it as first step is ask for an email to be able to redirect them to the right flow. So the problem is bootstrapping how does a user confirm it's him before he can login to the right system.

Most B2B apps are forced to deal with this because there's no one protocol here, and different paying customers have different internal systems. Asking the user to choose from a dropdown of 20+ paths is proving to be impossible of the extremely high customer support costs.

It's a cycle of misery


"Supported violence" is a wild thing to ... // Compare; at some point, I began to receive an almost unrelenting stream of advertisements for weapons, body armor, etc. Tanks, even. Crazy things. SO much violence is advertised on "Meta"; it's only... """ a specific kind of violence """ that seems to be prohibited, by Meta, namely anti-Israeli violence.


Well no, the rule is just not what you think it is. Meta doesn't ban supporting tools that can be used for violence, Meta bans support for violent acts.


compare Noahideen


> compare Noahideen

That's not a standard English term, I think you mean to say "Noahide". I am guessing you are getting your information from non-English sources.

In contemporary use, "Noahide" primarily refers to a religious movement which is a sort of "Judaism lite", of people who accept Orthodox Judaism's theological beliefs without formally converting to Judaism, and without following the vast majority of Orthodox Judaism's rules and rituals.

But, I think what you are actually referring to, is the concept in Jewish religious law (halacha) of "ger toshav", which is a non-Jew permitted to reside in the land of Israel. Formally speaking, contemporary Noahides by religion do not have the legal status of "ger toshav".

It is true that there are some clear parallels between "ger toshav" and "dhimmi" status. However, at the same time, there is a very fundamental difference – the Jewish laws of "ger toshav" have not been enforced in practice since the destruction of the Jewish Temple in 70 CE. The Rabbis engaged in a lot of development of those laws (as an abstract intellectual exercise, not a practical matter) since 70 CE, and so those laws as they currently exist in Orthodox Judaism have never been enforced in practice, and for all we know their pre-70 precursors were rather different. The State of Israel has never recognised the laws of "ger toshav", and the majority of Orthodox Rabbis believe they are impossible to apply in the current scenario (in which the Jewish Temple no longer exists, etc). Indeed, the majority of Orthodox Rabbis believe that the laws of "ger toshav" are not to be put into practice until the Messiah comes. There is a small minority of Jews who believe they can and should be applied today (such as the followers of Rabbi Meir Kahane), but that minority has never had the political power to put their beliefs into effect.

By contrast, dhimmi status has been a real thing in the Islamic world, not just a theoretical thing, for many centuries. There are a lot of disagreements between different schools of Islamic law (madhabs) on what the exact rules of dhimmi status are, and very often what Islamic scholars have insisted should be done in theory has had little to do with what actually happened in practice. Still, it doesn't really make sense to compare what has been, for the past 2000-odd years, a purely theoretical/hypothetical legal construct, with a legal construct which has actually been implemented in practice (to varying extents and in varying ways) in many societies for more than half of those 2000-odd years.



Yes, exactly - the Jubilee year has not been observed since either 70 CE or 720 BCE [0] so the laws of ger toshav no longer apply. The majority opinion is that the Jubilee (and hence these laws) will not be reinstated until the coming of the Messiah.

[0] there is somewhat of a debate on the topic in Orthodox Jewish sources, not that it makes much difference to the matter under discussion: https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/513212/jewish...


As a former Google Web Search engineer, I agree.


Hi! I love it. The magic of original HTML inspired my current website : http://razi.ps

I remember the days as a kid when I just threw together CSS and HTML to see how things worked. Playing with the edges of Unicode/ASCII web-host-shittification made for a creative playground ..


"heaven"


same :)

dm if you want to hire an ex-Google linguist-engineer with search ranking experience


this one made me laugh!! thank you :)


Hi, if you want to chat, please send me a dm or email. I dn't think you're an outlier but rather perhaps an activated human who hasn't received the kind of support they might need to make use of their "abilities" and is perhaps an overwhelmed "empath" to use a modern jargon. If you've interest in sharing what your internal experience was – outside of the judgment/shame filter that "I'm not like everybody else" then I'd be happy to hear it – with love,
