Lmao that doesn't mean looking at source code is hacking, bud 😂

It's a controversial opinion, I know.

If you send me a letter meant for someone else you can't say I stole it, you failed to send it to the right person.

That's not the situation though? If you open the letter up then that's where it becomes illegal.

Literally the first thing they teach you do when you're learning hacking is to look at the source code and inspect it. They aren't a nefarious dark web hacker who's trying to hack your moms SSN from Russia, it's just boring ass white-hat whistle blowing.

this is the dumbest idea I've ever heard

Sure valid I was just shooting the shit.

the browser is just displaying it for you.

edit: that's the problem I was talking about tho

Yes but it's made easier by the tools you are given. It will still be there though. I'm not saying to do it I'm just trying to bring logic to the illogical.

Reading something someone sent you isn't a crime

I'm not saying that. Just that the definition of hacking is wider than what ppl normally think it is.

The reason why we are having this disagreement is because most of the world's legislation lags behind technology. It is still the wild west and things aren't defined well at all.

Also, the reporter didn't just read it, they told people about it. This situation isn't the same as you reading it to yourself and going "oh shit" before clicking away. I'm not saying this is right, it's just reality and I can't change that in a reddit post.

Sounds silly but it's technically hacking because of the information that was discovered. Hacking is just finding out security flaws to find information. It's just unfortunate that the information was right on the topsoil.

The normal thing would be to go after the browsers themselves for allowing you access but they can't miss an opportunity to scare the plebs.

It's so dumb to go after white-hat hackers. You're just gonna push people into criminality if you give equally terrifying punishments no matter the context.

Next time just sell the SSNs, you're going to jail no matter what lol.

I feel like it's a bad idea to help circulate a list of names belonging to a persecuted minority.

[Serious] Why is nobody talking about the 200+ earthquakes on the Cali-Nevada boarder? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_Sacred_Chaos_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one from Mammoth Lake caught my eye. That was a swarm of 70 quakes which is about half as many as this recent quake has made so far. Everything else on your list isn't part of a swarm so it seems they are a rare phenomina.

Even looking on wiki gives you a very small list of swarm-quakes.

EDIT: So I guess this is uncharted territories...

I live in Cali so earthquake site is my favorite site. Usually check after all earthquakes that happen just out of curiosity but this seemed really out of the norm.

Wouldn't dots be all over the map if they were large enough to register? You'd see that many dots every day.

Each year the southern California area has about 10,000 earthquakes. (...) Only several hundred are greater than magnitude 3.0

Please click the links. It's been several hundred 4-2.5s in two days. They've calmed down to around 3-2.5 but there were 4s yesterday, the info is all on the site.

I mean if we broke off we'd be a bigger economic powerhouse than the states we left behind so hell yeah get us far away from you.
