The word Führer is 99% used for Hitler. There are many variants that are OK to use though. Most notably Anführer (if Führer is leader, Anführer would be “the one who leads ahead”) which is the common word to use for leader. Others are composites like Bergführer (mountain guide).
The swastica also existed before the nazis but is now forever tainted.
You don’t get hacking protection from bots
I disagree. I don’t know the details of cloudflares bot detecion, but there are many automated vulnerability scanners that this could protect against.
I said that instead of crashing the system they should have something that takes an intentional decision and informs properly about what’s happening.
I agree. Every crash is a failure by the designers. Instead it should be caught by the program and result in a useful error state. They probably have something like that but it didn’t work because the crash was to severe.
What’s the point of your complaint if you do agree?
I am not complaining. I am informing you that you are missing an angle in your consideration. You can never prevent every crash ever. So when designing your product you have to consider what should happen if every safeguard fails and you get an uncontrolled crash. In that case you have to design for “fail open” or “fail closed”. Cloudflare fucked up. The crash should not have happened and if it did it should have been caught. They didn’t. They fucked up. But, i agree with the result of the fuck up causing a fail closed state.
it shouldn’t crash the whole thing: if the bot detection module crahses, control it, fire an alert but accept the request until fixed.
Fail open vs fail closed. Bot detection is a security feature. If the security feature fails, do you disable it and allow unchecked access to the client data? Or do you value Integrity over Availability
Imagine the opposite: they disable the feature and during that timeframe some customers get hacked. The hacks could have been prevented by the Bot detection (that the customer is paying for).
Yes, bot detection is not the most critical security feature and probably not the reason someone gets hacked but having “fail closed” as the default for all security features is absolutely a valid policy. Changing this policy should not be the lesson from this disasters.
Yes but no. If you use a different service for the same purpose as you would use cloudflare you will be just as offline if they make a mistake. The difference is just that with a centralized player, everyone is offline at the same time. For the individual websites that does not matter.
sifting through data, finding patterns and acting based on patterns. Its potential applications in medical diagnostics or surveillance …
Those are the "expert systems’ they were talking about. ML systems and not genAI. They are not the AI people mean when they use the word AI.
Sadly they dont. At least not nearly to the extend that they should be.
“Nö” is a very childish “nope” in German (maybe even also in Swedish I don’t know) so a Nö-bel Prize would be very fiting
That is factually incorrect. Many websites would literally stop working. Not “mildly confuse”, but “be unusable”.
You ever logged in to a website? That’s a cookie. Ever used an online shopping cart? That’s a cookie. Ever changed a websites language in a dropdown? That’s a cookie.
All these cookies are first party. There are also essential third party cookies for thing like SSO (“sign in with google/Facebook/github/etc”)
Tell your browser to reject 100% of cookies and tell me how much fun that is.
“Legitimate Interest” is the bullshit term. Why does an ad company have a legitimate interest to my data? That should be removed from the law.
It could actually be true in the sense that producing 1mil things for 1€ each or producing a single overpriced luxury version of the same thing for 2mil€ is a 1mil€ difference in the GDP.
But I’d argue the first is still a better economy than the second. But economists will only like the second one.
Yeah and after your phones Bluetooth was recorded multiple times at your home, it can be linked to you. And when it is recorded somewhere else they can create a movement profile of you. This only works if they have a lot of data collectors at many different places. Like people walking around with their glases for example.
No. Because if enough people buy the shit product, it will become the only product available. And then you can choose between an ad-fridge or no fridge at all.
Is it realy so incomprehensible to see how useful it is? I feel like most people in this threat just close their eyes and scream. Yes you can call, yes you can find a different solution to every problem. But it is still fucking convenient to just know where somebody is without you having to ask them having to actively respond.
I think most do. Everybody here only looks at the “controlling, jealous partner” and never at the actually “loving, healthy, concerned partner”.
There’s no upside
It is insanely useful to know where your partner is. It is not necessary. It is still useful. I would not allow my partner 24/7 location information. It is still useful. I don’t trust any app/manufacturer that allows such a feature. It is still useful.
You can read right?
Führer = Hitler
Something-Führer / Führer-Something = not Hitler
