I live in a Hurricane/Typhoon zone and wanted a way to watch storm live status without all the panicked commentary. I had an old Chromecast laying around and discovered that it is just a web browser so I built a simple html image bounc

Simple rule of thumb in most cases is if you can convert it to grayscale and still tell it apart your colorblind users can too. Barring that as a red-green colorblind person, yes red-green contrast is the worst, but way more common are colo

That is perfect! Just need it to be opened up a little so that places like Google can enable it as a Lyn optional primary login.

If the US government created its own SSO system and mandated that all government website used it as primary while allowing third parties to use it too this could become a solved problem. It would be a credential that could be accessed via e

Additional fun on AT&T’s website. The phone number to call and complete the order changes on every session. So you can often get a new phone number by refreshing as well.

Can’t Apple just provide an option that lets you force “stalking” air tags to beep on command? Seems like doing that could essentially solve this whole class of it’s tracking me but I can’t find it stories.

This reminds me of an idea I’ve had for a restaurant, but know I will never actually build myself. Standard “Sports Bar” setup with TVs everywhere, but all of the TVs are playing the live broadcast from exactly 8 years ago. (I picked 8 year

I don’t know. Busy straining my biology knowledge trying to figure that out. The paper seems to imply maybe not? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187962572...

Did some more searching today and this one does in fact amplify just like the Imperial College one

by antgiant 6y ago
That is all true as long as the RNA doesn’t replicate itself and only produces antigens. However, I couldn’t find any papers at all that discussed if any of the current mRNA vaccine candidates self replicate their RNA to amplify the antigen

There is nothing in the Bible to change the day from Sabbath to Sunday. As others have already noticed that happened literally hundreds of years later. As for homosexuality that is actually specificity mentioned several times in the New Tes

I think you misread that. Drone strikes which don’t provide something for terrorists to attack cause a significantly greater increase in terrorism attacks than troops on the ground do.

Yep. “over the past 15 years. Increased US efforts are correlated with a worsening of the overall terror situation. Statistical modeling indicates for every additional billion dollars spent and 1,000 American troops sent to fight the war on

Vegetarian ≠ Vegan. Lots of dairy in the standard Vegetarian diet. The link you provided to the Mediterranean diet included lots of dairy (cheese, yogurt, etc.). Also, a lifetime of personal experience says that Seventh-day Adventists eat q

As a mere desktop guy. Where could I find a quality resource on safe ambient temperatures for desktop computers? I tend to assume that the magnetic HDD would be the limiter.

Thank you. However, having looked at the wikipedia page on Version Vectors it appears that is a protocol for detecting conflicts. I was interested in how you resolve them. A simple example is a zip file that I add file A to on one computer

Two questions 1) How does this system handle two devices behind separate NATs? (aka a work device and a home device.) 2) What is the conflict resolution protocol if a file is modified in two or more locations? (Newest wins, automatic dupl
