No, they did not in any way break the law. As they wrote themselves:

> I did some research and found that the app did infact have a responsible disclosure policy which at that point, I was happy to continue forth.

Under New Zealand's Crimes Act, all unauthorised access is illegal. This has been used in court to cover places where someone was not pre-approved, rather than just a policy that gives an implied acceptance. It has also been used where someone has accidentally gained access via insecured systems.

I would not be so confident in stating that they did not break the law.

Any half-decent VDP will have a safe harbour clause. Otherwise ot isn't a true VDP but rather just contact details.

So far, the courts have ruled that you need to be specifically approved, by name, before any works begin. There is no safe harbour here. Your policy does not overrule the law. You need a pre-existing relationship with the company, before you begin to look for vulnerabilities.

A security disclosure contact email is not a safe harbour clause.

We are currently moving to the Odoo knowledge application. It's very similar to notion but much less sluggish.

Odoo is powerful but a hideous ui and ux, which bloats the platform.

I feel like if Odoo foxed this it could be incredibly useful

You don't know where the enemy ICBM warheads will land until it is too late. So you have to assume that they will target the silos

The B part of ICBM means ballistic, and they are. Thus you can get a useful approximation of where it’s going to land based on the initial trajectory.

By useful I mean you can do significantly better than saying if it’s targeting the middle of the US, east, or west coast. Though it’s quite a large area.

If you’re doing a first strike and aren’t a moron, you conventionally strike the early-warning radars first. Ideally in a plausibly-deniable way.

First strike detection isn’t limited to early warning radar or ground based systems except in the very early days of the Cold War.

There’s no plausibility deniable way to take these systems down in practice.

And they have to assume you will assume this, so they would expect your silos will already be emptied in a retaliatory strike. Of course you have to trust early-warning systems and the ability to react decisively and quickly.

He did. But the DNC made sure that even had we won it, he wouldn't have won the primaries.

The frozen assets are certainly a strong bargaining chip for future negotiations with Russia.

Stellaris has had at least two Ship of Theseus level reworks over the years.

OP said they are from India. Even within the US, outside the tech hotspots 200k is much more than a single developer costs

In the USA a fully loaded cost of a not-fresh-out-of-school developer today is very likely >$200k. You have to factor in benefits, insurance, equipment, licensing (Windows, GitHub, all the AI subscriptions, etc), space (RTO!), any stock, and taxes to get the fully loaded cost.

Roughly salary times 1.5-2 is a good ballpark depending on ___location and equipment/licensing needs.

IME Most of the good devs in India cost at least 20k USD, with the price going up based on seniority and definitely skillsets, a very sought after skill can still ratchet up costs - but even then we're talking something that is going to run 3 devs tops and not have a lot of room for additional investment - something has to be taken out of the system for someone to care at all about running it.

Do you mean Anglicisms? Those are very common in many languages nowadays. Especially those in the west. Youth language in the German speaking areas of Europe is around one fourth English words.

Yes, I’ve seen kids in Berlin do that as well, but this is not a recent phenomenon for Indians. I’ve observed it for more than 15 years now

I've had the same experience with my legs and cycling. I usually cycle pretty regularly from spring to mid autumn. But I rarely do during winter. It's just not enjoyable for me when it's -10°C.

Every year during the winter, my legs basically turn into sticks. This year especially since I broke a bone a few months ago. For the first few weeks of spring my stamina and leg strength is at most a third of what it was the previous year. But once I've regularly cycled again for a handful of weeks, the strength returns incredibly quickly.
