The state of mhtml support is fairly pathetic at the moment. Firefox broke mhtml compatibility with the quantum overhaul. Chrome's mht support had been a hit and miss over the years, sometimes removing the GUI option entirely and requi

LN has some fundamental issues with regards to security that I don't have time to go into there. However any L2 protocol based on BTC is going to have a hard time getting bootstrapped for the simple reason that there isn't enough

White blood cells frequently infiltrate soft tissues in order to do their duty so it's quite plausible that some donor DNA sequence will be found in other organs. I couldn't seem to find a link to the original report in the linked

This is why I really don't like the recent trend of third party sites dynamically embedding tweets on their own page when a screenshot plus direct link could have sufficed. The internet has already lost a great deal of its past with ma

Let's consider the ongoing fad of meat-free pet food which is controversial to say the least. It appears that some members of the vegan community do wish to change nature to suit their world view, where carnivory is wrong in any contex

It was definitely paid software when I started using it back around 2012. There was a lot of uncertainly earlier this year when they stopped accepting orders without notice. Existing users could not renew their licenses and people were worr

For Intel platforms, drivers for Windows 98 were provided up to the Northwood Pentium 4 era (8xx chipsets). Windows XP support lasted a bit longer but it was rather patchy by the Core 2 era and seems to have totally dried up by 2010. Nevert

Hah, that was a fun read. Thanks for posting. It reminds me of the days when I used WinRAR for a lot of things. The password field would only allow entry of ASCII characters but the program will accept any character by copy and paste, leadi

It's a common problem with headphones when the wire becomes damaged, allowing two audio channels to become electrically connected. One could even simulate this effect by delibrately not inserting an audio jack all the way in on some de

They were actually all acquitted by a lower court years ago and the prosecutor had to appeal to get a guilty verdict this year. I believe there was some technicality that made proving intent difficult - the original contract was vague enoug

Ride sharing is only viable if the market shrug off all the externalities (insurance, traffic management, personal data security, etc) and keep pumping money into it in the hopes of fully autonomous vehicles becoming a reality within the ne

Absolutely. My apologies if the comment above came across as disparaging to the whole institution. I come from academia myself and the MIT name still carries unparalleled prestige with it. But this only makes it more heartbreaking to see th

They have been a major proponent of various overhyped blockchain projects. I don't claim to know everything they do but my image of MIT have already been tarnished long before the Epstein connection came to light.

My impression is that it wasn't exactly pitched as a substitute for food aid, but more as a recreational project to provide moral support for the refugees, and perhaps some micronutrients on the side. Overall it's not too bad for

Nah, it's more likely than not that they are from family of average means who are being offered a cushy package by the government to study abroad and keep them out of the country for a few years until they grow past the more rebellious

Google merely closed their office in China and (passively) stopped offering their search and mail services. The money making part of Google (AdSense, Android) has been making a killing in China over the past decade. Despite the posturing on
