Yeah, isn't it pretty standard to first report privately, then report publicly if they don't take any action (and you believe it to still be an issue)? That seems consistent with mosr organization's responsible disclosure practices.
this is standard, but there are people out there that believe this is malicious/blackmailing behavior. I think it’s the most responsible thing you can do here. This guy could’ve made a bucket off this find, instead reports it responsibly and mitigates the risk (with his own money invested) and gets told to pound sand.
Honestly I just don't write shell scripts anymore, bash or otherwise. By the time any system I use is up, Python is available. I don't know if I've found a true need for shell in anything application level. I'll even fire up a Python shell for something simple like mass renaming files, simply because the string manipulation is so much easier.
I won't try to summarize here, but long story short, the conditions which led to the Fukushima disaster were well known and TEPCO was warned as early as 2000, but they did nothing to prevent it. There a number of good sources on the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_nuclear_accident#Pri...).
I'm going to take a guess and say it's because of ruby lasers. They make massive synthetic ruby rods for lasers, but it needs to be one solid piece with very low impurities. A small defect will cause the rod to be entirely unusable for a laser, but there can still be large portions usable for other purposes with less stringent requirements. An example is ruby tipped 3D printer nozzles, used for abrasive filaments, which can be had for around $50.
With Bitbucket, as well as Gitlab and likely others that I haven't used, the CI pipelines are stored as a plaintext configuration in the repo itself. So, repo commit access automatically gives you the ability to modify the pipeline.
Some of the example data here is surprisingly similar to the Oracle default tables. The EMP table in particular seems to just be an extended version of the original.
I'm curious what you mean by not looking "period". The HPLHS fonts frankly seem to just be poor quality, rather than old. If you look at the images of the original type, Doves appears to be quite faithful to the original. Perhaps it's worth noting that we still use typefaces remarkably similar to the Romans, particularly Times New Roman, which despite its many shortcomings retains a "modern" look by virtue of still being in use.
Roman type has roots in Italian printing of the late 15th and early 16th centuries, but Times New Roman's design has no connection to Rome or to the Romans.
It was created by the descendants of the Romans, in the same physical location as Ancient Rome, and based on the numerous examples of letters that were still around on Roman buildings.
If that is “no connection” what exactly would a “connection” look like?
I'll admit I'm no typeface expert, but this seems to miss the point. Wikipedia's own page on Roman type [0] says "Roman type was modelled from a European scribal manuscript style of the 15th century, based on the pairing of inscriptional capitals used in ancient Rome with Carolingian minuscules". And visually, there's clearly an influence, though many centuries removed. My point is merely these very old typefaces remain modern looking because we still use similar ones today.
The capital letters were indeed inspired by Roman monumental inscriptions. But all the lower case forms were taken from Carolingian designs. Humanists wanted to copy Roman forms to go back to what they saw as writing uncontaminated with medieval influence, but the texts of Roman authors they used to do so were not actually written by Romans but copied by Carolingian-era scribes. It's why its generally much easier for us to read ninth-century texts than, say, earlier (e.g., Merovingian chancery script, yikes) and later scribal hands (e.g., late medieval Gothic).
"If my grandmother had wheels, she could have been a bicycle." Serif type is based on the use of chisels to carve rock. ANY other semblance is purely speculative. The trademark for Times New Roman is owned by the British, not the Italians.
Not all documents from the time period would've had such low quality though, and not everyone would want such quality in a modern document. If you want such an effect, it's always possible to add it later, but it's rather more difficult to remove it if it's baked into the font file.
>And yes, I know PSN supports less countries than Steam, but how many people on the internet really reside in one of those non-supported areas? I would bet it is less than 84,000 people.
It was delisted from 177 regions [0]. This apparently includes the CIS region [1], which has a population of nearly 240 million. You might be underestimating a bit.
There's so many confounding variables that there's no way to know if that's true or not. People often speak English on the internet, despite it not being their first language. Not every one of these regions may have heard about this in the few days it was active and so may have not participated in the reviews. And some people will just suck it up and say oh well, despite being affected. Regardless of the number affected (which is not insignificant), it completely prevents them from using a product which they purchased, and that's simply not acceptable.

I'd agree with refunds on a core level, yes.
I think my main issue here is that people who very much can access PSN are the ones making the most fuss. So it feels like a deflection rather than a core inability to play from players.
Also, the fact that this isn't the first time these regions had to deal with PSN. I bet some of them simply made accounts on a nearby, supported country. I'd bet the number of accounts being banned for such situations is multiple magnitudes less than the review bomb.
I don't think there's any evidence that this is the case, but even if it is true, so what? If anything, it's good to see American gamers standing up for those from other countries. An injury to one is an injury to all, and solidarity is the only way you can make large companies pay attention.
