   There were probably covert ways to obtain the same information but it's now easier for Google to grab the information using regular APIs. It also means if app X and app Y on their own subdomains were previously using location APIs with

   My car spends the majority of its life in a covered parking structure. Solar on roofs (as sibling comment also suggested) probably makes more sense in the vast majority of cases.

   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=959893 is a fun read... Firefox used to also leak the internal IP circa 2015.

   A couple companies sponsor “the internet bug bounty”: https://www.hackerone.com/internet-bug-bounty IMHO, sha3 should be part of that bounty.

   There’s also cases of people who received a transplant who then supposedly have two (or more) different DNAs in their blood.

   This. And you’ll feel lost or sub-productive while you ramp up on the new company’s bespoke framework.

   Right, that would be equivalent. Or a regular photo which is then cropped.

   True. Or a photocopy of the page + cut-out to make it non-destructive. Or just a picture of the page cropped around Waldo.

    You might not have understood how this works. The prover shows the fact that they know Waldo's position by showing the page covered in foil to the verifier in person (or by taking a picture). The verifier does not manipulate anything.

    How so? You don't reveal any coordinates if the foil covering the page is 3x the size of the page.

    I would have purchased this today if it were available in PDF or ePUB or Kindle store. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I do understand the appeal of an online reader but you should perhaps consider making your work available in a n

    This tweet illustrates the idea of showing that you know where is Waldo without revealing Waldo's position: https://twitter.com/cronokirby/status/1571824060513796099

    Might not be the answer you are looking for, but there are several companies offering APIs to filter content. E.g. Microsoft has a Vision API. Per https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/cognitive-..

    My Ford Mach-E has a bunch of similar timing glitches, including blinkers. Sometimes the touch screen doesn’t detect inputs for a second and then all the touches fires at once. I tell myself it’s some component busy GCing for a bit :)

    "the polar balloon Örnen (Eagle) was delivered directly to Svalbard from its manufacturer in Paris without being tested" I see some parallel with testing my code in production.

    They have plans for more issues but they are a little delayed. Takes quite a bit of work to put each issue together!

    Reminds me this joke: “Taught my kids about democracy tonight by letting them vote on which movie to rent and what pizza to takeaway. I then picked the movie and pizza cos I’m the one with the money.”

    That was my guess too. It can skew the result quite a bit depending which stock you are looking at. Eg BNS historically hands out 2-3% per year in dividends, and that’s just one randomly chosen “high yield” stock.

    Does it take dividends into account?
