How did you measure that they're the cheapest and easiest? And cheapest and easiest for whom?

I did and I did.

> Firstly is that actually true?

I created a new account, posted legit content, and none of the content appeared until ~5 days later.

> it will not kill you

How do you know it will not kill me?

What if I don't have to pay this month's rent and launching the site today instead of five days later amounts to $500? Both of these are true for me right now. The creators of HN can't possibly know the cost to a user to post something.

How did you estimate that "it will not kill me" also means it will not kill my spirits to not try again? How do you measure this cost?

> Nothing springs to mind that is that important that:

Merely because nothing springs to mind isn't proof that no such thing exists.

> What specifically did you have in mind?

I have different things in mind for different sites.

What's your definition of a genuine user?

These measures aren't the only way to stop spam.

> but content is king.

I would like to see content is king go up against cash is king in a site.

I'm not sure I understood everything you said.

How do you determine a user is an idiot or not when good ideas look like bad ideas initially? Experts can have blind spots.

The option for reputationless discussion should always remain open in my opinion.

> how high is the cost really?

The cost can be proportional to the proof of work.

Everything has a cost. How about determining the cost and providing means to pay for it? Paying works for many things in the world. It works for ads, for example.

Why must the cost be annoying a human by requiring reputation instead of a monetary cost? How is annoying a human a better solution than letting people pay? Do you really think pissing people off will stop them from expressing what they want? It might be more likely that people will express what they want, nobody will hear them, and they'll leave, taking good ideas with them.

Just as there is a cost to moderation, there is a cost to losing good ideas. How about letting a free market decide?

How is Vale's memory safety approach different than CCured?

Why is it not really suitable to a lot of applications?

Figuring out where the spam came from doesn't prevent the spam coming. I would prefer a solution that prevents the spam from coming.

I built such a system. I made it available and nobody used it or cared. It works great for me.

I'm curious about the other half of this question. Are any engineers in need of an employer rating system?

The point of that tunnel may be to prevent entities that are inside the VPN from sniffing cleartext RDP traffic. If an attacker gets VPN access you want to limit their ability to do damage inside the VPN.

I'd be curious to learn why CPUs don't have conditional move speculation.

I don't know if IP range reputation is part of SMTP but I wish sending email worked without it.
