It's a question of effort. Sony has a shitload of public presence. For social engineering I can learn many mid level manager names from LinkedIn for example and their infrastructure is necessarily public facing to allow people to work there.

And that's not talking about their public web presence and services.

And now we'll switch to ... You! If I'd try to target you I would have to first find anything from you to actually target.

Once I have your phone number, public IP or anything that gives me a lead I have to find my way in. And that way in will be because you've made a mistake, are lax with your passwords or use an out of date service.

But that's like 2/3 of the work I had for Sony as well. And now I see that you're a student with a net fortune of 50$ and a car from 1989.

To out it another way: for companies I aim with s rifle as they are a worthy prey. For individual people I use a shotgun and hope something hits something.

Give it a few more months...

Whaaaaaaasaaaa

I have no idea how I've missed that y today I'm over of the lucky 10,000 I assume. Thanks!

The concept of length is way older than these definitions, same for weight and so on.

The meter is an awesome example for what I mean: the 1/1000000 wasn't random. From my understanding it won over the alternatives in dezimal because of it's relative closeness to an arms length and the definition was used to remove issues in France because of the (metric) fuckton of different measurements for length.

And the second example of yours is even better describing what I meant: it's just making sense and is practical not a deep scientific reasoning.

And I won't bliebe that the foot and inch was conceived by anyone who has a scientific approach.

To be clear: you're right that basically by definition the units were done by professionals. I try to point out that for the more broader used units practical aspects were at least as important (after all it wasn't a square meter that was used for the gram but a centi of one).

This is a proposal. Why does the article write as if it's a fact?

You sent me down a freaking rabbit hole, thanks! :)

From what I found is that there is the simple reason that the weird ones are distance, time and weight - the rest I looked into are based on formal non-normalized definitions (including lumen, which surprised me).

My guess is that in depends on where the unit comes from: science or day to day use.

I learned about the Siemens, the Weber and the Gray on the way.

Thanks again!

War es noch nie? Was soll denn das Verbrechen sein?

Ich denke an hundert schlechte Videospiele, Windows 3.0 rc1, win95a, Norton Commander die erste Version um Mal ein paar Beispiele aus sehr frühen Zeiten zu nennen.

Auch physische Produkte gibt es zu hauf (vom ersten E Autos von Nissan bis hin zu dem personal assistant pin).

Kickstarter hat das sogar noch konsequenter, da allerdings für die Sponsoren (nicht: Kunden) transparenter.

Ich verstehe, dass viele das kacke finden aber da den Ruf nach Gesetzgeber ist sehr ... Deutsch. Man kann die Dinger ja sogar einfach kostenlos testen und selbst fest stellen, ob das was für den eigenen Anwendungsfall ist.

Das Thema hier wurde ja sogar komplett von einem dieser Firmen untersucht und veröffentlicht...

German here: just creating and selling something is one thing that jumps to my mind.

The concept of "I have an idea and a bit of money so I'll just found a company" is ... Tiresome. Possible, yes, but the legal hurdles both good and bad are ridiculous. You need way more time than in the US just for the formal overhead and even then you are way more in it with your own private existence.

As founder "beschränkte Haftung" is not as limited as it sounds at first if you're not firm in legalese for example.

Not the OP so their point of view might differ.

I've only seen LLM and ADHD connected via writing / homework tasks. Perhaps that's the same link OP thought of.

And the txt in the image is anyway just an aggressive individual opinion. I don't get the logic of "I don't want or use this so no one is allowed to see it as beneficial".

How can they mention that there were 0.3% not treu random numbers generated and not explain how?!

You got a lot of relevant answers so I want to point out something else:

You're hosting your own services. By yourself. Fuck everyone with a broom who tries to gatekeep that. And I don't mean wooden side first.

Seriously, your question is on point here from my perspective and as long as it has a connection to running services by your own I personally would love more diversity in hosting solutions.

Personally, I'd love to see people share more about their provider agnostic opentofu deployment or someone who went all in on AWS lambdas for weird stuff.

Oh that's an approach I haven't even considered, I es always very ... Black and white :D

Thanks for the inspiration, should I find a bucket of time in the future I'll give it a shot!
