Shit, I use this for image search. Basically we let users submit the title of items they own (for everydaycarry.com), we do a google image search for that title and display back the top 5 results from googles image search to the user, letti

This is interesting. I am not well versed on yubikey, but does it allow you to have a similar setup with other password managers, like keepass? (Meaning, one press per one password) Or is it just a substitute for typing a master password?

Does firefox run each tab in its own process yet? Or live inside a sandbox? I switched from firefox + noscript to chrome after accepting that firefox's security (even with noscript enabled) was just so far behind that of chrome.

I hate this shit. Between adblocking and piracy, people are just going to push publishers into a new form of advertising where they don't even know they are being advertised to. This is going to mean more "sponsored posts" on

Zumper is pretty inaccurate when it comes to SF I have found. The influx of new residents still vastly outpaces new construction + people leaving SF. As such, rents are not going down. The easiest way to verify this is just to ask anyone tr

Would really like to see some massive reductions in the operation costs and most importantly, bandwidth costs. The bandwidth costs are so far out of line with what the network transfer actually costs, it just feels like price fixing between

If you know about browser security, you know that was is being described is just not possible. Likely that the author had authorized some google importer or something, but simply visiting 2 different websites in 2 tabs would not allow this.

This was my thought. I would love to use it, but I am not going to give up my SPG card from American Express. It gives me 1 point per purchase, but by saving those points for first class tickets, I have been netting out at 25 cents per poin

Whats very interesting about this is the huge implications it could have for adblocking. If the labels win on the 'circumvention' clause, the impact could effectively outlaw adblocking. If youtube can say "you can only access

Did you buy it with a credit card? Most of them have additional protections that let you fix situations like this. Not sure if it applies to returns, but for instance I know you get a guaranteed extra warranty with anything you buy with you

Correct me if im wrong, but I would assume that the motor must still be 'attached' somewhere, else the momentum would not translate into moving the satellite. (Wouldnt it be akin to having a gyroscope just floating inside of a sat

Unfortunately I believe that even if the suit was successful, we would just see more purchases become 'perpetual licenses', skirting the updated law. IIRC, Tesla was very heavily against letting anyone tinker and went to some extr

Speaking as someone who ran a very popular video chat service that had on average 5+ DDoS attacks a day, I can tell you that the vast majority of our attacks were under 1gbps in size. Usually the 'attackers' would use services you

I am curious how effective this is at larger synfloods. Obviously when something hits near 1gbps, its game over for any server as that floods the uplink (assuming a standard 1gbps hookup) How many mb/s or pps can this handle on a avera

My point was never that it was possible 100% of the time. Simply that it was possible some of the time.

Feel free to upload a 5MB file under your narrow restrictions and I will see if I can reduce it with one of the 20 different compression systems available to me.

This is literally all I was saying and people went on a downvote frenzy. People are literally saying that a encrypted output can NEVER be compressed. I was saying that it can (although not all the time!) and the gains would be minimal. Ive

>Compression after encryption is useless, as there should be NO recognizable patterns to exploit after the encryption. Not to nitpick, but this is incorrect. A encrypted file can very well have something like 100 X's in a row which

the arguments against this are very similar to adblock legality issues. Google wants to say "You can only view this content in a specific way" - Thats pretty much the same argument against ad blocking. The issue is if a ToS can fo

I believe this is a big deal in regards to Tesla. Tesla locks down their cars to a insane degree- To a point where if you fuck around too much, apparently they call you up telling you to knock it off. With this law, I would imagine tesla wo

I have been contemplating creating a new credit card the last few years. Most likely under the Visa or Mastercard line. The thought is, create a reward card specifically for high-value/vips that has the best rewards/cashback progr
