I completely agree. I've asked a couple of questions now that had lots of genuinely useful answers, and were then closed for some perceived rule violation. Assuming for the sake of argument that the moderators were correct and my quest

Is three teens in two months really an epidemic? If these notes were passed around on paper, would they be blaming paper? I think all the effort of this misguided article would be much better spent tackling transphobia rather than advocatin

I think it's kind of unfair to accuse me of hating Android because I criticise it. I've been using Android since 1.6, always been a big fan, but as a power user and a developer I'm much more aware of Android's shortcomin

Shodan is a search engine for internet-connected devices. "Banners" in this context are "service banners", the metadata servers send about themselves to clients.

I assume something has broken, but this article makes no sense to me. It's full of sentences like: "If is very similar to , and is different from , then we do not need to compute to know that and are also very different."

At that stage why do you even need exploits? No-one would flinch at giving the installer for a game or codec admin permissions.

These are great for concerts (assuming your ear canals are long enough - these are far too long for mine) but not so great for a flight situation like in the article. For blocking out as much noise as possible, foam plugs are much better th

I've stopped using the in-flight systems because of this. I use in-ear earphones on flights, as the design of them (basically ear plugs with speakers in the middle) blocks out sound and as a result I can have the volume lower, with the

Seems more irresponsible to build the systems this way in the first place.

> provide their private keys instead of their public keys I see this quite frequently from developers, as well. Hands down one of the worst design decisions of OpenSSH was to make private keys tab complete before public keys.

Yes - the paper does acknowledge this, and makes the assumption that the point of entry is physically secured, for example by a human guard standing watch. This means you couldn't kidnap someone, steal their TOTP token, beat the passwo

We still have gas lamps in Malvern, I wonder if that's why - or if we still have gas lamps anywhere else?

Have you tried this yet? How does the end result compare to forking over the extra $ for fresh pasta rather than dried? Between this tip and the baking pasta one, my girlfriend is going to look at me very oddly next time I cook pasta.

Speaking from experience, it can get so bad you can't even open one of them. You also can't open one if you don't have a fixed address, AFAIK.

With EasyJet I've always paid the advertised price, give or take a couple of £. As far as I'm aware they don't have any "first-time flyer" discount rates.

A combination of legal changes and consumer pressure has changed that a lot. I flew them recently (for the first and last time - but that wasn't related to obfuscated pricing) and there wasn't much in the way of hidden charges. Ch

Although a lot of listings say "no pets allowed" in the UK, many will let you have a pet if you ask (if it's a large pet they're likely to ask for a higher deposit fee, but that seems fair enough).

Off-topic, but what audio-only games can you recommend?

Your reasoning seems sound to me. That said, can we really rule out the possibility that stainless or glass or silicone will have problems found in them? We may have been using (some of) them for hundreds of years, but we haven't been

I should have clarified I meant why are adults buying them for themselves (as many people are) - obviously it makes sense to avoid BPA for kids' bottles!

Huh? What world? One where metal, glass, and plastic bottles are all available? Sure!

Really? The developer who wrote software for Windows and OS X that depends on a case-sensitive file-system is going to throw stones about bad software? Windows and OS X use case-sensitive file-systems. That sucks. But if you are going to re

I don't understand why so many people on HN are worried about BPS or BPA. So far studies have shown that it has detrimental effects on the developing brain (in extremely limited animal trials!). Presumably everyone on here is not an in

Halving isn't really a big issue, when we're talking about something that normally talk about in exponents.
