They probably even got compensated.

IIRC Tailwind was toast a few months ago (laying off the few engineers that kept it going), so is this Shopify rescuing the company?

More like Shopify skinning the company to make a novelty hat.

I’m sure lots of egos were bruised by that one neon sign.

Was this vulnerability disclosed responsibly by the author?

Yes, it has:

> I reported this issue privately through the project’s responsible-disclosure process. The underlying configuration has since been patched, so I’m publishing the details now to explain what the issue is and let users know to update their systems.

You'll now pay a compliant packaging company to package goods for you.

Nothing beats the feeling of having a proposed idea dismissed just to have the higher ups “come up” with it some time later. Don’t even dream about getting a footnote mention.

That’s the passive form of the experience, sure — and it often comes as a shock to people that this is a thing in human relations. If you set out to make it happen, and you don’t mind letting someone else execute on the idea, it can be quite fun to manipulate people into an epiphany you arranged for them. (See also teaching, coaching, et al. but with a flipped power differential.)

False. The protocol doesn’t forbid it. Theres actually a negentropy NIP for relay sync.

Did you read the actual protocol or are you just making things up on HN?

I also remember reading somewhere that relays aren't allowed to copy other relays.

There are relays built with copying from other relays as a main feature. Personal use only https://github.com/barrydeen/haven This one will copy every note of every person you follow, plus their follows. https://github.com/barrydeen/wot-relay

I’d challenge that definition. 0 spam messages are a solved problems, any positive integer greater than zero and it’s still a problem.

This one will age quite remarkably.

Plonked how many times?

Technically, you only need to plonk somebody once.
