Except she didn't go "MAGA", and American Eagle reported higher sales and increased stock price after the Sweeney ad.


Why not do the opposite - a whitelist of extensions that don't appear malicious.


You've just reinvented curation, but giving Google a pass for not them doing it themselves and shifting the work onto others.

Multiple regulators should sue Google for putting users at risk by failing to protect users from malicious code before publishing Chrome extensions and Android apps.


A blacklist is also curation isn't it? Suing google is also 'work'.


No, how it should work is each extension is associated with a private key that is registered with a specific individual or legal entity and implies some kind of liability for anything signed with that key - and if/when the key changes (or the associated credentials), users will be explicitely alerted and need to re-authenticate the plugin.

If the old owner gives their key to the new owner, then they should be on the hook for it. I was thinking of this yesterday, as I think this is also how domains should work.


How does this safe guards against having the extension under a company and selling that company off. Still the same entity, different owners, different "incentives".


Assuming the new owner is a director of the new company, they are now liable. Or possibly the previous owner, if they handed over the key as an asset.


What did you try?


Location: East Kildare, Ireland

Remote: Preferably.

Willing to relocate: Yes; within EU or UK, or US if visa sponsored.

Technologies: Python, flask/web backend, AWS native dev or docker. Up-skilling AI-assisted dev.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrismhancock

Open to contracting also.


sane. I wonder if AI would be the key to maintaining complex memory/data (with implied directives).

Any notes system gets too large, and hence too complex as Is have to check a large dataset frequently. An AI could perhaps do that though..


I'm using claude code to develop this for myself. The age of personal software is here! One stop shop, add things, query calendars, attach meeting notes. "What do I know about Tom's work in the last 3 months" --> agents go to internal tools to summarize the work.

It's exhilarating


Recently parked in a Spanish airport carpark that worked similar to this.

First few minutes free, lower tariffs for 5-10 mins (or maybe fixed charge at those limits?), then like 1 euro per minute after that.


Having formerly been a member of a terrorist group is different from currently being in one - it may not be illegal, but lying about it is a deportable offence.


Did he have a patent?


I just looked it up - yes, and far in advance of the timeframe

This is (or was) a very small business. An office and a warehouse, basically.


Can you link to the patent?


Patents last up to 20 years, assuming all maintenance fees are paid, so having a patent far in advance of an event may mean it's no longer valid.


Do you want to go up against whatever patent portfolio AMZN has?


He already had the product, what would he be going up against?
