It's [13:01] schestowitz great to see you help businesses [13:01] schestowitz with their software needs. [13:01] schestowitz We are 3 university friends who have developed a new approach to search marketing and I wanted to ask if this might be of interest to you. [13:01] schestowitz The basic idea is to add your brand as a new autocomplete suggestion in the search engine, so users see Dr. Roy Schestowitz while they are typing amazon aws report abuse for instance (other keywords are possible as well). This is what it would look like: [13:01] schestowitz amazon aws report abuse amazon aws report abuse recommendation dr. roy schestowitz [13:01] schestowitz amazon aws report abuse providers [13:01] schestowitz amazon aws report abuse comparison [13:01] schestowitz amazon aws report abuse online [13:01] schestowitz amazon aws report abuse test [13:01] schestowitz This is different from conventional online marketing approaches, such as SEO or paid ads, [13:01] schestowitz which are often ineffective and too expensive, because everyone is using them. [13:01] schestowitz AutoSuggest provides an instrument [13:01] schestowitz to connect with potential clients at the earliest point possible: while theyre still typing. Our service is an effective means to [13:01] schestowitz position your brand and get additional traffic and sales. Costs only occur when your suggestion [13:01] schestowitz has been successfully listed in [13:01] schestowitz the autocomplete function and provides value to you. [13:02] schestowitz Therefore [13:02] schestowitz , I would like to invite you to take a look at our service, either by visiting our website, scheduling a call, or emailing me. [13:02] schestowitz I would be delighted to introduce AutoSuggest to you. In case of any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

    mozilla.org's 25th anniversary
    [14:45] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.jwz.org | jwz: mozilla.org's 25th anniversary [14:45] schestowitz
    [14:45] schestowitz

    Fun fact! When I wrote the mozilla.org web site, I designed it to have a "source" directory that contained just the document bodies, and a Makefile generated an output directory that wrapped the headers and menus and such around that to emit the static web site that was actually served. The output directory was not checked into the source control archive, obviously, so I don't have a copy of that. So... I [14:45] schestowitz dug up the old CVS archive, checked out those old web site source revs, and then I had to run that website-generating perl script that I wrote 25 years ago.

    [14:45] schestowitz

    ...it worked without any modifications. Self-high-five.

    GNU Guix will be present at FOSDEM next week, February 4th and 5th.

    A sentence that none of us wanted to write, but have long felt would need to be written someday. We didnt expect to be writing it so soon, though, and certainly not without having had time to notify you that it was coming. We are sorry to say that the apps sudden and undignified demise is due to an unannounced and undocumented policy change by an increasingly capricious Twitter a Twitter that we [15:00] schestowitz no longer recognize as trustworthy nor want to work with any longer.

    EXCLUSIVE: U.S. airline accidentally exposes No Fly List on unsecured server
    [15:10] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-www.dailydot.com | U.S. No Fly List Left on Unprotected Airline Server [15:10] schestowitz
    [15:10] schestowitz

    Analysis of the server resulted in the discovery of a text file named NoFly.csv, a reference to the subset of individuals in the Terrorist Screening Database who have been barred from air travel due to having suspected or known ties to terrorist organizations.

    [15:10] schestowitz

    The list, according to crimew, appeared to have more than 1.5 million entries in total. The data included names as well as birth dates. It also included multiple aliases, placing the number of unique individuals at far less than 1.5 million.

    A confidential source sent the online news organization, The Intercept, a series of internal documents and communications providing details on what appear to be plans to develop and launch an Iranian mobile network, including subscriber management operations and services, and integration with a legal intercept solution. Some of this communication included representatives of the Communications [15:14] schestowitz Regulatory Authority of Iran (CRA). In October 2022, The Intercept shared this material with Citizen Lab researchers for analysis. The following report provides a summary of our analysis of this material and discusses its wider implications.
