Can you elaborate on the oppressed genders, plural, that were recognised and included due to WW1 and 2? Female I imagine is one. Which others? And even then it was only the Soviets having women fight.

TLS 1.3 mandates it, doesn't it? It's safe to say it's near enough to 100% (of clients sending) to not be worth mentioning outliers like yourself.

I, too, would expect that the most common pieces of software with massive amounts of engineering time invested get it right (but almost certainly with a performance hit). But I'd be unsurprised to find that one doesn't handle the

This is a common issue with text based formats and ietf/RFCs. HTTP allows comments in some headers. And allows line breaks: H: hi Mom Is the same as H: hi Mom Bets on how many http clients and servers get this right?

A friendly AGI would replace so, so much more than just banking or institutions it makes no sense to even bring it up. And this does not make them obsolete. The government will easily win. Bitcoin wouldn't have near the amount of adopt

Follow your thought through: what prevents them rewriting an alternative blockchain history? Why can't they apply that to digital signatures with timestamps? This is a solved problem for years. You could use the NSTB as a timestamping

Lenovo still sells 768p screens in their high end X-series laptops including the very recent X280.

Blockchain provides zero benefit in this case. People on HN are tired of people ignorantly (sorry) saying blockchain. You should state, for starters, why simple digital signatures are not enough.

They tried that a few generations ago with the X240 etc. It was a complete disaster. The buttons are critical. Many people, myself included, find every aspect of the Mac poor ergonomics, including the touchpad. The trackpoint buttons work g

I'm not sure what that means. It was obvious this would be used for fingerprinting and leaks. The explained reasons for proceeding was that permission prompts for data channels would hurt usage, despite not having clear cases where we

Ok so why is she searching for "black girls"? I don't search for "Canadian guy". Outside of wanting a generic/stereotype photo, what're the reasons? Same for "professor style" and expecting to ge

No, Google does not try to mirror content. It tries to provide the best results for users. Results the user wants to click on and are relevant. Searching for "professor style", nobody wants it to return a minority professor style.

I'm only going off some in-person dealing with folks behind WebRTC and they know that permissions suck and would hurt adoption and hence fight to make sure they don't happen. They dismiss all privacy concerns with "you can&#x

Oh it gets better. I have implemented SIP software (written, from scratch). On the SIP implementors mailing list, one of the authors defends the insane parsing rules by saying that C and Java allow you to be flexible with syntax, so why not

What did she expect for "professor style"? If I were hand-delivering results and knew it was from a black, asian, or white person in the US, why would I return different results? Someone entering a general query like that probably

This is the fault of the browser and WebRTC. They know about this but deliberately break it. The truth is WebRTC should never activate without user permission. But no, WebRTC added data-channels. They have no good use to be silent and espec

The 440 and 540 have the ridiculous no-button trackpad. So bad even Lenovo reversed position for the next gen. You can buy a 450 or 550 trackpad to replace it for under 100$. Will make a huge difference.

Is the heat as bad as reviews say? The X250 seems to be the last X2x0 with a reasonable heat signature. In can't stand having the keyboard be even warm.

Everyone I get to try a real ThinkPad loves them and can't imagine how they operated before. The new ones even come in white so you can look cool. Personally I like the X250 (12”). The newer models get a bit hot. The X1 is often enjoye

Even worse, Israeli false flag bombings in Egypt. They attempted to frame the Muslim Brotherhood. This was just a couple years after Israel got statehood. They denied it until 2000. "Lavon Affair" if you want to look it up. USS Li

There are a lot of technical reasons. At the wholesale level there is no way to know if a source is valid. Even AT&T routes to dozens of providers for some calls and has no idea what is going where. Even local calls from someone in your

What's the point of reporting? We had an issue with a sysadmin. Ended up firing him but didn't revoke all his credentials in time. He logged in and deleted all our Azure servers and rm -rf'd our GCP boxes. MS wouldn't he

It is a good thing in countries that are fairly low crime. In places where the criminals operate with impunity, we need a bit more reactive violence. If the police are useless, criminals should at least be worried about being summarily exec
