For the record, I didn't bring up a bounty, but I still received payment. It helps that it is a small company, and that the CEO is also a developer. They were so grateful for the discovery that the bounty was freely offered without me asking.

Interestingly, I didn't have to circumvent any security measures to uncover the vulnerability. They had a page that was leaking api keys - all you had to do was watch the network requests. That's why I chalk it up to luck and not my prowess in cyber security.

There is no meme police and nobody uses the term image macro.

I would argue that memes aren't necessarily meant to be funny. I think the most important component of a meme is its composition, which is usually a square image with optional text. But yeah, I completely agree with your broader points.

I agree with you, but you also can't just assume that everything is fixed or that the security is as good as the competition these days just because the software received a lot of updates.

It's been a meme for years. Maybe you just hadn't run into it before.

I like: Cylinder, Snowflake, Vault, or Piggy bank

Yes it does make sense in context. Using the word robbers to mean "taking the lives of animals" does not make sense in context and is a stretch beyond the imagination. Also, I never asked, "what were they stealing from the animals," and I don't appreciate you quoting words I never said!

Maybe you should just try being lucky. I found a critical security vulnerability while working on my scraping project. I told them, they paid me and gave me written permission to scrape.

No, clearly not. But I've already explained how they are substitutes and you just ignored my point.

Not that they need to be substitutes in the first place. Any mode of transportation is going to be more or less dangerous than any other mode of transportation, and that alone is enough to compare them. You don't need to be able to literally substitute a plane for a motorcycle in every situation to analyze the differences in the danger between them.

They literally are substitutes. If planes didn't exist then more people would ride motorcycles for very long distances. They may even take their motorcycles on ferries to make their trips possible if they have to.
