You can faintly hear the accordion near the end of the recording. I don't like that it shares the recordings though. It doesn't add much value and it's a privacy violation, even if it's legal.

23andMe being a Google spin-off I wouldn't be surprised if they do a full sequencing regardless of whether you pay for it or not. At the very least I would expect them to store the samples indefinitely so they can do it once it's

From the title I thought this would be an European UnionPay, but it's just another European Zelle.

I love how easy it is to integrate the tiny, standalone tools that make up s6 without having to commit to an entire init system. It's a great example of the benefits of the UNIX philosophy.

I didn't know there was a formal service for it, that's very cool. Still, it relies on the miner keeping its word instead of cracking the private key. In practice it would definitely not bother risking its reputation like that, bu

That must hurt. In case I crack the next puzzle... how should I go about collecting the prize without having to mine a block myself or trust a miner not to screw me over?

FWIW it works fine for me on mobile. The default layout is odd but it's possible to move and resize every window.

Huh, it seems it's just my browser that resets the noise every run. I opened the page in Firefox like the article suggests and I get a different pattern per site and session. That prevents using the noise as a supercookie, I think, if

I didn't know canvas anti-fingerprinting was so rudimentary. I don't think it increases uniqueness (the noise is different every run) but bypassing it seems trivial: run the thing n times and take the mode. With so little noise, 4

Fine, in that case companies that take security seriously and/or have frugal data collection and retention policies will be more affordable than their competitors, since their premiums will be cheaper.

Buried under the rest of the article is this, since some people only do headlines I'll copy it here for visibility: >Shanbehzadeh was sentenced to five years for alleged pro-Israel propaganda activity, four years for insulting Islam

My new ISP took this to another level: if you transfer your landline phone number they send you a voice-only SIM card and a 4G router into which you're supposed to plug your landline. Calls to the landline number are redirected to the

In that sense pass is no different from other password managers. What prevents the user of an "online" password manager from storing the passwords offline, remembering them, or not logging out and reusing cookies? You have to rota

If we had to vote everything with our wallets Tesla wouldn't exist in the first place. We would have $5,000 trucks made by Burmese war prisoners that can reach 200mph on full self drive, running on palm oil without a catalytic converte

Couldn't this be caused by a competitor spamming the report button rather than an automated alarm?

I don't want to frighten your family more, but shower NEVER is safe. Unlike lightning, slips and falls in the bathroom are quite common and sometimes result in death or lifelong injury.

So there's regulation. Until I read this I had assumed the bank branch was helpfully breaking the law by refusing to release customer funds. Do you know what's the law that forces (or allows) banks to do this?

So far, the concept of consciousness is basically metaphysics. It doesn't have a role, it can't be measured... If I may suggest a starting point to get over this hurdle: let's create a "consciousness captcha": some

I suspect tech companies spy us in ways they don't disclose, but anecdotal evidence like this is not useful. The most likely culprit is cognitive bias: if you hadn't heard that word, you wouldn't have noticed the recommendat
