The problem is with "fact checking" that all lessons are correct and working as expected.

Right now, of all the lessons/courses generated and available, do you vouch for the accuracy of ALL of them? Do you guarantee that, if someone who knew about the subject matter (like, physics) double checked every available question and answer in that field, they'd reply "Yes, this is all correct"? If the answer is no to either, do you know how many questions and answers are misleading or plain wrong?

    Was PHP2Shell actually exploitable outside of a lab environment?
    Yes

    From over 10k unique IPs:

    Only two IPs managed to trigger the print-flag executable and only one person did so in such a way that data was exfiltrated successfully from the server.

    PHP2Shell is the real deal. It’s an exploitable vulnerability and a sufficiently motivated adversary, with the help of AI, can absolutely use it to hack a website even when they do not have direct access to memory addresses or the physical server to tailor their exploitation pathway.

    I really wish more research firepower was put behind adult learners since the entire education system seems to be based around teaching people technical skills

    Welcome to the fun world of modern western culture, where anything that isn't boosting work productivity or making lots of money is either ignored or treated as stupid and worthless. It might be bad for individuals' mental health and destroy the sense of community and belonging, but think about the profits!!!!

    “Yours truly, a 17 year old from India that thought they were doing something good.”

    If this is true, I can cut some slack on the person being really, really fucking naive and acting on impulse instead of doing the bare minimum of talking to the actual authors.

    “Why did I charge for AI Slop audiobooks? I doubt anyone knows how expensive it is to run a server like this, especially with the amount of usage this site got. It had 126,592 unique users within 24 hours of going up, and had terabytes of bandwidth in usage. In an attempt to keep the site up, I thought audiobooks were a good option. I sold like 11 audiobooks, if it’s any consolation.”

    This shows how little this Ganesh thought things through. "It cost so much money!" - nobody affected cares, you acted the same way the abhorrent big tech companies do, slurping content en masse while giving the middle finger to the community responsible for creating and maintaining it.

    I remember when hello games nerfed the prices of active iridium all the way to the floor. Didn't take much for people to realize the easiest/shortest path to lots of money was the gel from cactus farming^[Sure, you could go the extra mile for the next step in the manufacture for a higher price, but you'd need to waste more time gathering a different ingredient, then more time holding E several times over to transform it, etc. Going for the gel is simply more time efficient]. Does that still sell for 50k a piece?

    Title. I'm looking for resins with the lowest Shore hardness, the lowest one I've found (that I can buy on aliexpress) is Resione F39, with Shore 60-75A. Ideally, I'd want to get something closer to Shore 30-40A.

    So, failing that, anyone with a higher understanding of chemistry can explain what additives are usually added, resulting in a cured resin with greater elasticity?

     

    As I prepare to give art classes to younglings (10-11yo), I usually try to teach basic shapes with direct practice via chibi characters. I also take the opportunity to explain what usually makes a character or drawing "cute".

    In any case, I present you Sanrio-Man, the salary-san. He is old, disgruntled, balding, overworked, but full of hopes, dreams and kawaii energy
