League of Legends generates purely subtractive happiness.

I think that is a great anti-spam measure. Most web scrapers are not gonna run OCR on the images of your contact page and you save yourself huge pains and loads of spam. Tell me, what is a better way? Using obscured JavaScript code to injec

Well, we have root access. Can't we completely stump and destroy this stupid safety net? This should have a very high priority for anyone who cares about open smartphone systems. There should be a safety net remover that simply strips

On mobile, rooting and using a hosts file to block malicious/ad domains is better anyway.

That doesn't change anything. The algorithms are broken and they will always be without general AI. Either you have a human inspecting it and seeing that Samsung are trying to be fascists about it, or you use an algorithm and stuff lik

Hm, I guess that's true. I just didn't look at them the same way because to me, both feel more like they refer to loneliness.

To clarify: I am not a native English speaker and I hadn't thought about the words themselves before seeing that quote. In German, there is no clear distinction like that. Of course, I also need my solitude.

I love how much aliasing the star-shaped primary logo mark (Burst) has. As someone who cares about graphics, it pains me to just look at it. This is not good logo design in my opinion.

It doesn't matter which sites are targeted. What worries me is the authoritarian mindset. That the state becomes the nanny of all the people. That responsibility for oneself and one's children is no longer the norm, but discourage

>Shouldn't a government, govern? With this argument, I could argue for any fascist dictatorship I want. A government should serve its people, first and foremost. Remember, a law always has to be kept with the threat of force, or act

Thank you, I don't want anyone to feel responsible for me. I want to be FREE, first and foremost. If other people feeling responsible for me is conditioned on them owning my body in ways of e.g. banning what drugs I can take and what p

There is no problem. I grew up with the internet. Had full access as a kid. Many people did too. The only problem is that fascists want to control the internet, that's the real problem.

I have read too many human parity claims that left me disappointed to believe this one. Call me a pessimist or a cynic. I'll be very excited when I have the code running on my machine and when I can compose this comment verbally withou

I just love how practically minded these men were. Whatever they had available to them, they made it work somehow. If you want to read another account of the Manhattan Project / first nukes, I highly recommend the book "Surely you

Hmm, that's a good question. I guess in the vast majority of cases, calmness wins. Especially at the workplace. And usually, it's better to avoid the people who only understand the language of anger, rather than confront them. But

by Kenji 10y ago
Some people only understand the language of anger. It really depends on the individual. Some people understand you when you're acting calmly 100% of the time. Others need to be reminded that what they're doing actually bothers you

I respect that. So, let us not continue and I hope we didn't bore you too much. I wish you a pleasant day.

Do you really think they read through the entire source code and understood every facet of it? Code audits are nothing but sampling. Just like in the example I mentioned. I don't mind people disagreeing with me, but you could at least

I don't understand how you still can't get it. Let us try again. Suppose you're a professor and you had a super-productive student who wrote 100 very interesting papers. You only have time to read 50 of them, selected at rand

If you find this many critical bugs, there is no doubt that there are more, since it is indicative of the overall code quality. Still, what they're doing is good work and crypto remains hard. I am glad they're doing it.

Good question. Well, you can still watch her to draw general conclusions from her behaviour. That's why I watch Clinton, Trump, Putin, etc. It's very interesting how they behave, even if I trust none of them. Sometimes, there are

As pretty as aluminum is, it's way too soft. I have a CNC milled android device and it's got some nasty bumps from me dropping it on the ground. Plastic, while not as shiny and fancy, is much better suited and more resilient if yo

And complete denial is even more confirmation, given her track record with lies. Remember when she told about how she landed under sniper fire in Bosnia and the entire thing was pure confabulation and she shook hands with a little girl on a

Disclaimer: I worked at a bank before. Yes, it is quite unusual. The banks only do it if they expect regulatory, legal or political fallout if they keep the customer. Or if the customer is always trouble, not paying their debt or harassing

I speculate that these are only SHA256 hashes of keys or documents that will be released in the future. It's pre-commitment. I didn't try decrypting one of the files with a key yet, though. I'm busy with other things (like br

He needs good friends who host VPNs for him. TOR would also be a good thing. Maybe a combination of both. Of course, those friends would have to visit him in person and give him some public keys or something to verify their identity.
