Apple ought to be able to determine these concentrations/pathways of known-stolen phones with a query to whatever database backs Find My. The query may be easy for the most-egregious operators. It may be in Apple's interest to loo

It allows you to acquire coins over time, then use them later to move wealth in a less-traceable way.

Encabulation is one of the most joyful subfields in engineering. It is always great to see improvements and contributions to our knowledge, whether incremental or transformative.

I'll go against the grain here and hard-disagree. My Canon has locked up hard only once in half a decade of hard use, generating ~8TB of images in adverse conditions. It is sometimes left turned on for months at a time. I sometimes acc

In some lines of work, it is only possible to get hired by signing a non-compete. As long as such garden-leave practice is industry-standard, it may not be a career problem. Furthermore, if you're in ambitious-mode, you can take that

Can state from personal experience that there exists at least one company where each of the article's leading bullet-points are simultaneously false. If your DS employer isn't making real use of the capabilities of a skilled data-

It isn't as hard as you might think. Most gravity-gradient measurements are differential. Common-mode accelerations can be substantially-rejected. Also, if you're in the precision-measurement game, navigationally-relevant signals

Artists are also likely to be real interested in the opportunity to have free marble in large formats on which to work. Furthermore, if the sculpture works out well, you can get a bunch of press. If it doesn't, you get to sink it in th

Perhaps they're trying to hire, but either the labor market is tight or they're not able to offer enough to get people to take the job. GP's desire to berate TSA agents, for example, suggests that job-satisfaction might not b

How do you construct a commit, in order to commit regularly, without having a staging environment in which to compose that commit? Is the branch-tip simply the staging area? What if you're only half-done with that final commit?

Agreed entirely. My point was that to emphasize that there can be reasonable value-investment cases in these odd asset classes. The maxims of "price is what you pay, value is what you get" and "are you willing to buy this if

If it provides cover for another entity, it could have value. "Hey, we licensed that patent from $(thief). We thought it was legit! We're innocent. All the liability for our infringement falls on $(thief)."

I'd venture that the majority of people who invested in BTC from 2010-2016 have made money, in USD-terms. Back then, the bull case (market-cap approaching M1) was orders of magnitude stronger relative to the price than it is today. The

What a bonanza for opposing counsel of any kind. (which is a bummer, as there are lots of interesting uses for digitizing our lives if the data could be guaranteed to remain private)

The long view is the one you see when you step outside on a clear night. It is important that everyone retains the option to have that perspective.

This happens in life, too. When your counterparts lose continuity with your work, they turn to other work and the context-switch to return to working with you becomes increasingly hard. Helps to be quick.

Are there instances where OSS contributors were found liable for major losses? (Heartbleed would seem like the kind of thing that could do it.) If so, I'd expect it to summarily obliterate the OSS world.

OSS contributions aren't ever explicitly security-critical software: "THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ....

If compliance costs and liability were shuffled onto developers working for free, I'm pretty sure you'd see a sudden drop in EU OSS development.

That's really cool. By the time I have a chance to hack my own, I suspect there'll be commercially-available Raspberry Pis in frames.... :).

I'm super excited to see the price on panels beginning to drop. $200 for a 10" panel is, for an old guy, exciting. Once they're cheap-enough, the manufacturers will come.

If adding grain seems like a strange thing to do, consider it as a way to signal to the eye, "This is the smallest scale on which there is any information, you'll have to infer anything smaller." I rarely add grain to image
