Sometimes I get prompts from Windows Defender that it would like to upload some files to Microsoft for further analysis. The weird thing is that they are well known binaries from official sources, for example node.exe (Node JS). Just to be

They had an opportunity to do that with HTTP/2, /3, but they kept the User Agent. It's a bit different, but it's still there.

So I googled that: setdiff(1:3, randi(3))(randi(2)) > One must factor out the resulting list from setdiff into a separate variable first: t = setdiff(1:3, randi(3)); t(randi(2)) > This is so medieval even by 1980

Pathogens are pretty species specific. It's quite unlikely a bee could get infected by whatever a mammal is carrying. And it would be easier to evolve "needle cleaning" (flushing acid over it for example).

What if a lot of programmers working at Squibbit are threatening to quit if the company doesn't ban the anti encryption group? You know, just like they did when it was revealed Microsoft and Google wanted to sign contracts with the US

I guess you forgot how many HNers urged everyone to boycott Microsoft, Oracle and Amazon and to quit those companies when it was revealed they wanted to get contracts with the US military. Just like now KickStarter is under similar pressure

I bet there is some policy you would oppose on KickStarter. Lets try this: a KickStarter to raise money to lobby for making encryption illegal. And let's assume it's very successful and it raises tens of millions of dollars. How w

The current theory is that allergies exploded because our (first) world is too clean and the immune system needs something to do, so it focuses on what it can find - peanuts.

One big conceptual problem is that you can't use the technology of today to trade on 1980 prices. So showing big profits on decades old prices is meaningless, the market was much "softer" back than since there was little mach
