Why do they allow so many extensions that rely on third-party services though? I don't like this trend. Especially given there's no network sandboxing of any sort, giving permissions for an extension to access your data locally is

There exists audio synthesis software that can mimic anyone with an almost indistinguishable voice. There also exists software through which you can automate responses. This will not go down very well. If automated scamming isn't bad e

And we should rely on Google's pinky swear? We need authentication for phone calls and a set of laws requiring disclosure when this type of service is used by legal entities. And we need these laws now.

I've recently used EDLIN from an 80s version of MS-DOS. After spending 5 minutes with the manual, I realized it was the best line editor I've ever used. ed is very similar, but it doesn't come with a nice manual. The info pa

Since we're at linguistics of colour you might want to know that in modern Greek, the word for "tanning" is "blackening". I don't disagree with the article but I just want to make sure we all know ancient Gre

>optics are heavy It depends on the optics. Modern optics for the visual range are incredibly light. Also, since you assume optics are heavy, why do you think putting them on a drone is a good idea? You can haul a metric ton of optics in

They are, but this is a disaster waiting to happen anyway. Extremely high RPM, no redundancy in rotors or engines, flying in an environment full of dust and particles, having to land perfectly every time (or get damaged irreversibly), all t

I also remember an article about a very low power camera performing read operations in an analog way with no onboard power. I think. I can't find the article though. Also there was https://github.com/seemoo-lab/mob

Usually it's more than a few cents (i think 0.5 to 2 euros). This is actually a great way to vote and fund the contest at the same time. There's little financial incentive to cheat (it's not like a lottery) so if you spen

People have always been giving more points to their neighbors on average, but not always. In case you don't know, each country gives more than one "vote", ie they assign 12 points to one country, 10 to another, 9 to yet ano

In my experience even family men get frustrated with working at home. Sure, 1 or 2 days per week is fine, but more than that is generally too much. Work is probably the most common (or even exclusive for some) way adults meet new people, es

Is there any indication of any sort that this content isn't just random ads? Do I have to just take your word for it?

Apparently US companies can do this if they "get concent". I don't know what that means though, it could be a couple terms buried in your contract. It's definitely huge, I haven't heard of it before either. Does any

Also there's no info on the nutritional uptake of the cows. Killing the methane-producing bacteria could potentially mean killing the digestive powerhouse of the animal.

I literally stopped using windows because of windows 10. I'm lucky enough that I don't need it for anything work-related. In the rare occasions I do need something to run in win10, I run it on my old air-gapped laptop running a

It still doesn't sound like it would work with a lot of direction-depended specular reflections or reflective surfaces.

It would get a lot more positive comments if it was called what it is: A low-bandwidth mesh network. It's nice, but not going to replace ISPs anytime soon. It consumes more energy, it's slower, less reliable and higher latency tha

It's great for performance enhancement but it seems like it would never work with global illumination.

But this is done through court orders and a due process, correct? On repeated offenders, for the benefit of themselves too? What's described in the article isn't the same. You shouldn't let financial institutions using this

It is dead. Someone forked it. I'm sorry but I can't trust some random team with almost zero funding to write my everyday os. Ubuntu phone died when Canonical dropped it. Same for Mozilla. It's a shame and kind of bizarre tha

>my point is that the guarantee is a very weak one, and one based on tradition rather than facts. This is incredibly wrong. The guarantee is based 100% on facts. This is literally the only thing it's based on. No assumptions about m

It does. You can do the same with with the salted hash of the password and not the password the user entered. It's still worse than real authentication protocols where you don't store the shared secret at all, but better than thos

You can still buy all of these things if you want. They come with the appropriate labeling. I'm sorry if your concern is purely linguistic, but "organic" isn't a reserved word. Benzol is organic too. Organic laws are a

I hope you don't mind if I expose you to a specific wavelength of light for a moment and witness chances in your chemical composition. You get a pretty green stamp too.

That's not true if you ask the client to hash both the password and a one-time token you just send. Knowing both the password/key (which was send during registration) and the token, you can calculate the hash. Otherwise you can&
