CAs use their private keys to sign website operators' public keys. They don't know the website operators' private keys. Therefore, the only way a rogue CA could intercept traffic is by issuing fake certificates with keys cont

Read receipts are disabled by default IIRC. In the rare cases where I'm drafting a message long enough to worry about the typing indicator, it's usually easier anyway to compose it in a text editor/notes app and copy/pas

MMS is also extremely unreliable compared to iMessage (as I mentioned in another comment thread). Messages are often delayed by upwards of 15 minutes, and I can't send or receive at all if I'm somewhere with less-than-perfect cell

It's not just a weird experience for "the non-iMessage folks," it's a weird experience for everyone just because MMS is missing so many features in comparison to iMessage. Last I checked, it wasn't even possible to

The GBA is another example: native games run on a 32-bit ARM processor, but it also includes a Z80 for backwards compatibility with older Game Boy models.

This article posted in a comment above explains it well: http://amasci.com/amateur/whygnd.html Essentially, the ground rod acts as an "anchor" holding the neutral wire and the ground at the same electric pote

It doesn't go "back out to the ground rod," it goes back to the transformer. Note this paragraph in the parent comment: > And it's not that charge carriers are always flowing back to earth, but back to their source. T

Electric potential is created by a difference in electric charge between two points. Because it's a measurement between two points, it is never absolute -- "a very low electric potential" is meaningless unless you've def

It's not always perfect, but it's certainly much more stable than it was a few years ago, and it continues to improve with each release. A few years ago I had to spend weeks with each new Swift release debugging segfaults and w

I feel like the open source port of Foundation is in pretty good shape (especially compared to a few years ago). The really important classes are mostly complete ([0]); all that's left is primarily some of the advanced networking feat
