And they’ll have to fight it out to be the one consciousness getting shoved into a probe and sent into space after they’re revived by a theocratic fascist state in 500 years

That’s what happens when you sukk the zukk

Congrats on doing it the way the website owner wants! You’re now into the content, and you had to waste seconds of processing power to do so (effectively being throttled by the owner), so everyone is happy. You can’t overload the site, but you can still get there after a short wait.

You’re given the challenge to solve by the server, yes. But just because the challenge is provided to you, that doesn’t mean you can fake your way through it.

You still have to calculate the answer before you can get any farther. You can’t bullshit/spoof your way through the math problem to bypass it, because your correct answer is required to proceed.

There is no way around this, is there?

Unless the server gives you a well-known problem you have the answer to/is easily calculated, or you find a vulnerability in something like Anubis to make it accept a wrong answer, not really. You’re stuck at the interstitial page with a math prompt until you solve it.

Unless I’m misunderstanding your position, I’m not sure what the disconnect is. The original question was about spoofing the challenge client side, but you can’t really spoof the answer to a complicated math problem unless there’s an issue with the server side validation.

Please, explain to us how you expect to spoof a math problem that you have to provide an answer to the server before proceeding.

You can math all you want on the client, but the server isn’t going to give you shit until you provide the right answer.

How is that summary different from scrolling through someone’s posting history to see what they post about?

How is reading the Clif notes/summary different from reading the book? Time and effort taken, as well as a much shallower understanding of the material (assuming your summary is even relatively accurate).

It’s an easy way to get an instant opinion of someone so you can make a determination on whether you like it without having to tax your poor brain into actually thinking, and you can let something decide your opinion before you even know what you want to know. A summary provided by a product that is notoriously frequently wrong or lies and makes shit up out of whole cloth.

Techbros love nothing more than reinventing things that exist. In this case, middle management/project managers
