No statistical measurement or actual attempt at a scientific investigation was done. The classification was purely validated by Isabel Briggs Myers' own free interpretation of what a particular trait should be. That's self-decepti

I know what hashing is, but, as I mentioned, FB doesn't have my phone number, so no X hash to compare to whatsapp X hash.

But Facebook will not know it's me because FB doesn't have my number. At worst, all FB know is that some people have my Whatsapp number. That doesn't help FB serve targeted ads to my FB account.

Hadn't see the pictures of the Lorraine prototype before. The article you linked refers to breadboards but that's not what is shown on the picture and it's unlikely that much more than very basic concepts were built using bre

While it is saved as a wifi module with a basic serial interface to be controlled from, The ESP8266 actually has a powerful microcontroller that can now easily be programmed using the Arduino IDE (and other stacks). There are different firm

_SQL Server Express_ is not the MS equivalent of SQLite. _SQL Server Express_ is just a free (as in beer) limited version of _SQL Server_. It's still a full-blown traditional server like MySQL, Oracle and other that require services an

Both channels are pretty funny in their own way. While BigClive churns out a lot more videos and is more eclectic, Mehdi's ElectroBOOM is clearly more comedic.

I am always amazed at how religion is such a hot and polarizing topic in the US. Political debates in the US presidential election are baffling at best and often utterly cringe-worthy. I don't even understand why someone would ask if a

I enjoyed that account of their experience. It's a bit cliché and naive but not in a bad way. They seem to have genuine wonder for what they encountered and it's an experience that has opened their eyes to a different world and -h

Thanks for that. It's very well done and the message is spot on!

Strangely, I decided to lock down my Win10 Pro machines earlier today after seeing telemetry traffic reported by GlassWire. I ended up using O&O ShutUp10, a free app with a simple on/off interface for a bunch of Windows privacy-rel

You always have the option of preparing food to your kids. If you feel what you give them is better than what they get at school then of course, it's a no brainer. On the other hand, if it's chore to take the time to prepare and c

The issue with kids having lunch boxes prepared by their parents is that the kids are completely dependent on their parent's abilities to serve them a balance diet. They don't get a chance to try and discover anything else.

by Renaud 11y ago
The issue is that kids that grew up without a healthy approach to food become the very parents that perpetuate the behaviour; they just don't know any better because they haven't been exposed to good eating habits, either at home,

A bit of a tragic story that echoes that of Vivian Mayer: undiscovered during her lifetime, unable to really find herself in the society of the time, later suffering from mental disorder, sad ending. Mysterious and fascinating women who may

That was a useful animation: it made me realise that I didn't really know how a clock worked; I only had a fuzzy -and wrong- understanding of how the the parts worked together. Good use of visualisation and animation is an extremely po

Criticism of the article aside, having a decentralised, heavily redundant, safer and harder to disrupt web is an excellent idea worth pursuing. I can see how that could work for statics resources, but I don't get how you can decentrali

The 'Camera+' and '645 Pro' apps are able to save to uncompressed TIFF instead of JPG. They also give you a bit more control over exposure. Not really RAW, but at least you get all the bits you can.

It certainly looks much better (and safer) than another 3-wheeled car that was also a health hazard: the reliant robin [1]. Where is Top Gear when you need them.[2] If they manage to reach that sub-$7,000 price range, that would make the El

wow, that, plus the VS2015 support for JSX syntax amount to great tooling. Being able to use JSX in Typescript is a big deal, if only for the compile-time checking you get for free.

Quite cheap but to compare, you also need to add the cost of the touchscreen and the board to drive all this, and your result would probably not pass EMC requirements (for a hobby project, you wouldn't care). Still cheaper to source th

There well may be correlation but in this article, the only objective measure of fact is that of the number of exclamation points. The main assumption, that the book gets worse over time, is completely subjective and dependent on that parti
