If someones fly is unzipped, I'd point it out because that's the sort of accident that can happen to even the most competent and discerning.

If someones pants are sagged around their knees, I expect them to have noticed this themselves, and by walking around in public they've accepted the possibility of ridicule.

I consider having a non-beta site to be 'walking around in public', and revealing code and internal data (however small) when there is a malformed request to be 'walking around in public with your pants sagged at your knees'.

That said, rappers don't have to buy belts and maybe the culture of the 'new economy' is such that some people do not have to value security.



You wouldn't take a photo and project it on a wall. You'd whisper into an ear.
