    I know it's unethical. But I almost applaud people that do stuff like this...because...it shows the flaws in the system. Not knowing "computer stuff" in 2021 isn't cute anymore lol In reality, states and companies need to HIGHLY invest in good coders, cybersecurity staff, etc.

    It's not even unethical when it's using the appropriate channels to disclose a massive design flaw in their website. There's responsible ways to report problems like this. https://www.hackerone.com/vulnerability-management/what-responsible-disclosure-policy-and-why-you-need-one

    It's true, I don't have a one-button way to view source on this computer.

    So let me get this straight.

    1: you put SSNs in plaintext on a web page
    2: you get mad that someone clicked "view source"
    3: your actual Highway Patrol patrols the information superhighway?

    😂😂😂

    PSA: someone leaked the Linux kernel source. This software runs huge portions of Internet infrastructure. Please be careful with your data!

    Is there no 12-year-old around to explain to the governor of Missouri that HTML source code is viewable as plaintext in any browser by hitting the button marked “view source”

    Also: TIL that “information superhighway” crimes in MO are literally investigated by the highway patrol

    Reading is not a crime.

    Putting SSN numbers in HTML code should be.

    AI-based copywriting platforms can never replace human writers. Tell me why I'm wrong.
    Aaron Parecki
    AI-based copywriting platforms will soon displace the vast majority of human writers. It's impossible to refute this looming business truth—no matter how skilled or excellent your writing abilities, the competition will always improve and drive down your revenue.

    So to then see this… craze? Spread to other niches and areas, especially ones I’m involved in, just feels like a threat.
    I want to find what’s so exciting about NFTs but currently it just feels like a drug everyone’s on staring at a reality that doesn’t exist & that’s worrisome

    When it comes to NFTs and art and the long-term viability of this “shift”, I cannot help but think about the motivations behind it.
    People could ALWAYS buy/commission art. Most of these people didn’t. Why do they care now?
    It always comes back to money or the gimmick, not the art

    I'd love to be able to run that 💕 Maybe I should hire someone and let them take a massive commission (like 50%), because I literally do not have the time. But we have such an engaged audience with high pageviews and in a good target demo.

    There might be a case for a "History of Web Design" course, where people learn about various developments since the mid 90s as a timeline. That would help anyone trying to figure out WTAF is going on in the space these days.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
