They are probably "brick slips" IE thin cosmetic bricks, not full bricks. Hmm looks from that shot that the door doesn't open; I was wondering about that.

Curved glass is easier in the historical method, because flat glass was made by blowing a large bottle and flattening a piece of it against something before it set (which is why you could only get small flat panes). So to get a curve you&#x

That's addressed in their paper -they cover slightly different use cases. - secure drop uses TOR. That's observable at a network level or via access to a users device. In many contexts being a TOR user is sufficient to out the le

This is a library, so I'm not sure listing it makes sense - you'd want to list apps using it, which I guess is just the guardian app so far. Perhaps they will comment on whether their releases can be found outside the play store.

I'm not saying your main point is wrong, but there is a lot of legalistic quibbling over things like Lent. For example, various animals are classified locally as "fish" for Lenten purposes, including the Beaver (in Canada) th

Cool, but looks like it's going to miss capabilities, so not suitable for a full OS backup (see https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/113293 )

Ideally a backup system should be implementable in such a way that no credential on the machines being backed up, enable the deletion or modification of existing backups. That's so that if your machines are hacked a) the backups can&#x

My parents drink tap water, but every morning my father would pour away a few liters of water in case the supply pipe was made of lead and the water sitting in it overnight had absorbed some. (This is actually the official government advice

That one is kind of amazing - I wonder if it was intended as a self-parody of the patent system? But in general yes I agree.
402.
by ajb 1y ago
Legally it's supposed to matter, yes. Non-novel or obvious ideas are according to the law not eligible to be patented. In practice the mechanism to decide both of these is broken.

Isn't this the compound that's in basically all white paint? Hope this is not leaded paint all over again.

Yeah, the echo canceller is going to try to make that not work, and DTMF tones are simple enough that it will likely succeed.

That's certainly a good way to put you in the right mindset - although many of them can injure you in more than one way.

People have been working on commercialising this stuff for decades, actually. The problem is that you are competing with the staggering level of investment that goes into CMOS. To get early revenue you need a niche which is forgiving of no

It's a thought experiment, being angry at it doesn't add any value.

No, because it's much easier to independently value a house What are you suggesting as an alternative? - Both taxation and offer on the improved value - this is consistent, but it's no longer Georgism so it doesn't solve the

by ajb 1y ago
That seems a rather pyhrric right. You don't actually get any value from them destroying your house. I think the offer is supposed to be on the improved value (IE including the value of the building) but the tax is on the unimproved va

by ajb 1y ago
Improvement value is commonly estimated, eg by insurance companies. Eg, you insure your building for 100k even though the market price was 300k, because it would only take 100k to rebuild it. So you then know that the 'unimproved'

I think the tor folks made a fundamental strategic error by pushing that line. Yes, people who face a serious threat need to use tor browser and still pay attention to other ways to leak etc. But if we'd got 'tor everywhere'

I had the impression that M&S wasn't, but if that's the case then yeah, that would invalidate my analysis. Especially if even their retail stock goes through that route when bought online.

In security, whitelisting is preferable to blacklisting. However given that people can already whitelist by only sharing one window (which is what I, and I guess most security conscious people, always do) I'm not sure there's a bu
