Honestly I think that they should be putting Tailwinds Plus and consulting services first. Sucks that AI is making the web itself obsolete now.

and they wouldn't be able to do anything anyways. That money is moved out of the country and has been laundered 100 fold by now.

I hate to be the one that says it, but there is only one way to handle scammers like this. They need to be hunted down and put down. All of them and anyone who is involved.

Truth be told that scamming is becoming easier and easier. The problem is that most countries not only allow it, it is part of their GDP. Look at the number of scammers that originate in India. Everyone there knows who they are, there are numerous YouTube channels souly dedicated to exposing them and reporting them to the authorities, yet they still remain active.

Until a more brutal and direct response is used, these organizations and countries will continue to operate. If the attacks Trump has used on drug boats has taught us anything is that a direct response is the best response when dealing with the underworld.

It is much easier than you might imagine. Hundreds of thousands of people live together almost like a city, scamming their own people, speaking the same language as their victims. They train day and night to manipulate the human mind, supported by an underlying system of fake accounts. When I was building the system against that, I felt like David facing Goliath. The problem goes far beyond what technical systems alone can solve.

https://cybercrime.gov.in/ you can report cybercrimes here for india. The problem is the police is short staffed and their tech is also not on part with that of the scammers. The slow judiciary system due to staff shortage again makes this difficult

This really should be way this problem is approached. There have been people who have committed suicide because their private data was leaked. It's an altogether serious matter.

you having a bad day dude?

yea great.... when will I be able to have it dial a number on my google pixel? Seriously... Gemini absolutely sucks on pixel since it can't interact with the phone itself so it can't dial numbers.

if it wasn't for DHH, Ruby would be a hobby programming language at best. The community can say what it wants, but it and frankly, most of the web programmers in the world, owe DHH some thanks. If it weren't for him, Yehuda Katz and John Resig, 90% of the web would still be written with Perl, CGI and VBScript.

90% of the web is written in PHP, and Rails didn't change that.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

The is the main reason why if you ever get a password reset email you ALWAYS go to the site directly and NEVER through the link provided in the email.

I was thinking the same thing. Programmed ColdFusion for over a decade and loved the language, however I moved onto .NET, the PHP and now Rails. ColdFusion was a wonderful language, but the frameworks weren't there and the market share wasn't there either. Ironically enough, one of my clients still uses it for their application and we actually began talks about moving them over to Rails.

You are aware that names are not UUIDs, and that the same name can be used by several people, right? Especially since Mikkelsen is a rather common Danish surname (with around 35000 people named that) and Mads having been a very popular boy's name in the 1990s?

Ah yes, it's a conspiracy and you spotted the critical oversight on their part. Real astute.

It's not actually that unlikely for other people to possess the name.
