Just to clarify, because I was very confused--you mean that there is very little correlation between smoking and additional risk after contracting COVID-19, as your source is entirely dedicated to. There's significant risk to vaping, b

I believe you're partially correct. Blizzard does go to an effort to keep politics out of the game, and has a history of being fairly impartial about it. You will be banned for having either Trump or Obama in your name, among most othe

Something I've thought a lot about is how to educate people, specifically on a larger scale. In general I think it's a really underrated thought-space for tech people, probably because it's a hard problem that most likely won

I think this article misses a couple important points when it comes to UI AND UX. I'd argue that an important element of UI is discoverability. Yes, a "A box with downward arrow" is not in and of itself enlightening about wha

So since this information was so hard to pull out of the article, I've summarized it according to the weekly ride-share dominance chart[0]. Pre #DeleteUber, Uber sat at about ~75% of the weekly rideshare dominance. Currently, Uber sits

It's not that infeasible to have a web platform that encrypts users messages, just each client gets an encryption key. Look at Telegram, or even FB Messenger end to end encryption. I'm not saying they ever said they didn't ha

At this point they have been indicted and charges have been filed (the link this post points to). The steps for an investigation are very straightforward[0], and so now that we're past the charging process, if separate charges are foun

While I know it might be a little hidden, I'd just like to say I'm really glad Will Bond of Package Control[0] was able to join[1] the Sublime Text team. Having first class support for Package Control in ST is definitely one of th

Something a lot of these comments are currently missing is the fact that the video specifically described that: 1. The brave browser by default blocks ads and tracking software. 2. That advertisements are opt-in only in the brave browser. S

I think one of the things I appreciated most about this service is the drawbacks[0] section. I've started to look for this section in major JS frameworks[1] as well as other SASS/PASS services when I'm evaluating them and I&#

Just to add to this, if you don't like it, don't click on it/comment on it. The front page algorithm put this item here because people upvoted it, not because it queried a random selection of the user base and asked if it was

My only comment is that the proportions aren't actually the same :). In Zurich you're netting three times what a German software engineer makes, but everything is only twice as expensive.

Yeah, I think I forgot to select Zurich as the Canton of residence. Either way though, that helps my case.

I'm the one that downvoted you. Rather than simply insulting s3nnyy, pull out some numbers to justify your statement. I suspect s3nnyy is not hiding information, but rather saying the quality of life is worth it. However, it looks like

Yeah, pretty much summarizes my fears with Owncloud. Not only that, but as mentioned before, I no longer have any desire to manage my own large scale storage (NAS/Raid, really anything), so that compounds my own fears with Owncloud.

Do you back up the unencrypted data though? Regardless of the viability of the raid 5 system, the raid 5 wasn't what failed. It was the encryption. It wouldn't have even been possible to backup the encrypted data without getting a

Let me tell you an anecdote about Owncloud. Once upon a time, I hosted an Owncloud instance for my family. I had a raid 5 system setup on an old Xserve with around 10 TB of usable space. I was really into learning about encryption at the ti

Sorry for the slow response. Just found this comment. The first and most obvious response is that tsa-pre requires your fingerprints, and tsa does not. That obviously leads to an amount of pre-vetting that is never capable of being done in

Because it abstracts security to something that can be done in the weeks before your flight, instead of vetting a person in the hour and a half beforehand.

The thing that prevents you is that the winnings don't scale. If there's a $185,000 application fee, then you need to make at least that back. That means that at: 2 parties, the winning bid needs to be at least $370,000 4 parties:
