Is there any particular reason for using state with OAuth? Why would I care if some other site logs my users in?
 
user202362
lose of control
 
But why do I care? Why would anybody even bother to exploit it?
 
user315433
@bjb568 This seems relevant: security.stackexchange.com/a/81315
 
@redredwine That's… weird. I don't see how getting a user's access is supposed to give you access to all the things that has the user's access. Isn't that what OAuth is supposed to prevent?
I just don't see how that attack is possible.

Shog9First off, read the section on flagging in the help center - there's a ton of good information there, and links to more. Second... Don't think too hard. Flagging is something that's made available to almost everyone who uses the site constructively even a little bit - as such, it generally does...

Q: We just hit another milestone!

Dawny33So, our site just hit another milestone. We are over 10 questions per day, which means we're increasing in traffic and volume. (Kudos to the mods too!) You can view the stats here. We also have very impressive other stats too. The only orange and red areas are the number of unanswered questions...

@bjb568 Yes, if I stopped at "has no boundary", that would be precisely clopen.
 
I was just thinking about the boundary part. If there's no interior or exterior then there just isn't anything.
@redredwine :D I do remember that part of that video I watched about intro to higher mathematics and stuff a year ago!
 
user315433
The union of interior, boundary, and exterior is always the entire ambient space ("the Universe"). So if all of them were empty, we'd be in a boring universe.
 
Sounds like the kind of set theory used in some people I know's heads.
 
user315433
With the boundary empty, and assuming the Universe is connected, we are left in an ambiguous situation: their fury is either empty or fills the Universe.
 
I prefer the former.

Well if I was working at stack I'd not even be sure where work begins and where leisure ends since I find myself drifting to stack for leisure every other half hour :p

@Magisch yeah, that's how I ended up doing this. Though now strangely I find coding cathartic.
@redredwine slightly.

You really wanna get under someone's skin, you leave a comment. That's true now and would still be true then.

user315433
For a limited time.
 
@Magisch folks want to do this. Remember that thing I said about the hammer...?
You sit at your job and you look at the horrible code in front of you and you see the clueless new folks struggling to make sense of it and mostly making it worse
And you think, "would that I could answer these questions in a way that would improve the caliber of new folks"
And given the opportunity, you try.
Our job here is to provide that opportunity.
 
@Shog9 For me its more like "I'm done with this assignment and the new one is tedious, slow, and has about 3x as much time allocated to it then I need for it, but I don't want to ask for another because it'll be somehow even more tedious. Lets see, ah yes, how about some close vote reviews"
