Ah yes, "divests" when the stock is at an all-time high price point. I'm sure that hurt them so much.

I literally didn't even realize Giles was an asshole in Ted Lasso

And then, because you were never in a classroom and never took a class on security, you probably have no idea what a buffer overflow attack is or how to use tools like valgrind to check for them.

Then you put your C code on the internet and get your server pwned inside of an hour.

Slightly hyperbolic? Yes definitely. But there is a reason we don't teach C to beginners anymore. Generally you want them to understand the mindset of coding before throwing them in the deep end. And I would bet nothing has caused more people to quit programming then Segmentation fault: core dumped

Pick a popular online service with a public API and write some scripts that integrate with them. Learn by doing.

In my (non-expert) opinion, there are a few reasons

  1. NPM is more popular than those other services by an order of magnitude, especially among new developer and startups.
  2. NPM allows for code to be executed while you install the package which is different from maven or nuget and allows for easy exploitation paths

This works until you scale the team beyond 1 person and someone else needs to decipher the 30 line awk | sed | xargs monstrosity you created. Give me a real programming language any day.

Mods of communities can already see votes in communities they moderate. Admins of instances can already see votes on all content.

Incorrect. The app was baked into the Pixel firmware from Google, not a manufacturer specific OEM.

There are a few ways that the court can get this money. Disclaimer I am not an expert in bankruptcy law.

The most obvious one is what you said. The court can order the company's assets to be liquidated and then the proceeds of the sales would be distributed proportionally among the creditors.

Next they can go after the perpetrators like Sam Bankman-Fried and his crew. If they have any personal assets that they acquired as a result of their criminal activity at FTX, the court may be able to take some of that money to pay creditors.

Lastly is "clawbacks". Let's say you invested $1,000,000 in FTX and you were one of the lucky ones and happened to withdraw $10,000,000 in proceeds during the height of the scam. The court could claw back up to $9,000,000 from you since all of those proceeds were the result of a scam, even if you had no idea that FTX was shady. This is typically how the courts recover money from ponzi schemes like Bernie Madhoff
