It is probable. I can't find perfect specifications, but the dimensions of the Pro 3 and Pro 4 are very similar. Lining up the machines visually, as shown in the image linked below, indicates that the dock port is in the same place and

No citation is necessary, they're just quoting a clever anonymous adaptation. It's not anything Arthur C. Clarke ever said.

Amazon is not just selling content, though. Their push with Fire Sticks and Fire TV is in part to get "Echo" / "Alexis" into the living room. Until you can ask Siri to buy you laundry detergent in your next subscri

So SSL was never throttled? Seems like there's got to be more to it than that. Like a TTL value on the packets?

A year or two ago, I watched notch stream coding for a weekend game competition, and it was fascinating. It was on the front page of HN for a while. I ended up watching it for a couple of hours while I did some low-cognition tasks. I think

Gas stations have one shot at survival over the next 30 years: Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs). Part of the reason traditional manufacturers have been reluctant to pursue BEVs (battery-electric vehicles) is that many were betting on liqu

A clever idea with unintended consequences. Now my docked phone in navigation mode is disabled, and I have to fumble for the airplane mode switch to then it back on, distracting me. Or, my passenger, texting urgent details to someone else w

Sort of like the straw breaking the camel's back... I have been wondering why oil companies have not been making the smaller-quake argument -- the link between hydraulic fracturing and earthquakes has been clear for some time. I think

The reason for the sentence you quote is to explain that PCIe chips are different than the proprietary-pinout m-SATA port in 2012-2013 Retina MacBooks. They are strikingly similar and if you're not paying attention, you might try to mo

For what it's worth, you can replace the SSD in a Retina MacBook Pro with third party hardware. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/12203990123520892001 http://www.everymac.com/systems&#x2

Some HP printers, P1102w, have wifi cards, and when not associated with an access point, they will broadcast their own open network. There is no way to disable this except to open it up and remove the wifi card. I think some Roku models wi

Lab-grown meat should bring costs down (both in raw resource usage and in the market), enough that I expect it to nearly completely replace traditional meat. I expect in 50 years, the only "real" meat, like from a slaughtered anim

Here's the one true test for any new generator: If there's a working prototype, they could be selling power to the grid. There is no need for publicity, investments, or shows. It doesn't matter if someone can replicate your d

It sounds like you've already done a great job instilling the virtues of budgeting and the value of money. I don't think you need to share your salary. If you still had young kids, you could share instead your budgeted amount. J

I am not who you asked, but I don't know much about my parents' finances, either. If I had access to that information I could make educated guesses about how to care for them as they age. Are they able to retire? How long can the

I think the downside for hydrogen storage is the inefficiency of electrolysis. Last time I looked at it, you lose about 50% of the energy when making hydrogen. The plus side is that the fuel cell side is very efficient. It'd be pract

An address can receive multiple payments, but the most likely use case from that is mining output, or recurring payments from the same sender. A wallet owner is able to generate new addresses at any time, and generally does so in order to v

I like the idea of a sterilizing force-field. (Not like, sterilizing, but... sterilizing...) I enjoy speculation like that, but I am comfortable making the following generalization: Corporations worth billions do not run physics experiment

Yes, this is definitely an active scan. However, hooking in to DHCP syslogs would still be passive. It's nice that the author provided an active alternative in cases where you might not have access to the DHCP logs.

You would need a very long cord for that land line for that to be an effective countermeasure! I think it is just generic Google-hatred.

Density isn't everything. A good 4800dpi printer probably prints at 300 or 600dpi most of the time, unless specifically tell it to do a high quality print. In any case, it's not often that one digs through their printouts with a m

If your computer was using a combination of working DNS IPs and your Belkin router's IP, it's a plausible explanation for intermittent outages. So if you had 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, and 192.168.1.1, 1/3 DNS lookups would time out.

There is no reason to be suspicious -- their motives are clear. Exploit the high-overhead banking economy with lower-cost offerings for their target demographic. Their target customers end up living a life filled with transactional cost. Th
