"A rating". Why not give high-margin items get a cherrypicked high rating, and low-margin items a cherrypicked three/four star rating (you can't just say everything is five stars, of course).

It seemed like a somewhat pointless hack to me, but sithadmin (your sibling comment) points out some valid use-cases.

All from a Raspberry Pi. Why ?!

Seriously. "Whoops, zoned out for a minute, lets rewind" is soooo much better than "Whoops, zoned out for a minute, and now I have no idea what's going on and might as well zone out for the rest of the lecture".

All I need is steam. It's not disingenuous to claim that, because its true :)

> I really hope Valve manages to bring gaming on linux Not sure which games you play, but most of my favorites turned out to be available on Steam for Linux. I made the switch after W10's release and have hardly regretted it.

Regular certs are Domain Validated, meaning the CA only verified that you do, in fact, own the domain in question. EV (Extended Validation) certificates actually require the CA to verify that you are who you claim to be. This is mostly used

So what we're really saying is consumers need to pay companies more than the money would get otherwise. And what will stop them from running ads on top of that anyway?

The upvote anchor seems to be the only unique anchor that exists for each comment, making this the only way of linking to a comment in the middle of a page.

This site is YC-backed. So, yes. (Snark aside, I agree that a disclaimer would be nice.)

Not to mention just how wrong the name " Grocery Manufacturers Association" sounds.

Google Authenticator is pretty easy to use, as are the alternatives. Also really easy to provision. Not sure how SMS is more practical than an offline code generator.

This is why SMS- or phone-based 2FA is not a good idea. HOTP/TOTP is the right way to implement 2-factor auth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm https://en.wiki

As a consumer, I'll side with "flaw". Every time my bank says "we gave you a new card number because fraud", its a golden opportunity to review my recurrent charges / subscriptions. Each of them emails me plead

Without having read the full PDF report [0], the summarized version [1] makes the allegations seem quite weak. It comes down, seemingly, to the fact that a PLA domain name appears in the malware. Maybe I'm missing something. [0] http:

How does this set it aside from Amazon, aside from "generally a good product"? Massdrop marketing seems to be all about the pricing when in reality its just a curated list of (ostensibly) good products.

Why mention AWS at all, other than to mislead?

by antsar 11y ago
Some of the software-generated "logical connections" are not quite logical though, and require a little massaging/tweaking (human interpretation) in order to make sense. This process can result in interesting new logical conn

Speaking as someone who has NoScript installed... you are sadly correct.

I guess I assumed when they say "innocent until proven guilty", "proven" implies hard evidence, not just two facts that suggest that an event occurred.

There have been Bluetooth battery level indicators since at least iOS 7, for Bluetooth devices which support the feature. Admittedly, those were harder to read and did not show a percentage. Here's a screenshot: http://commu

Sure, and if they actually wanted to be sneaky (to steal something, to plant something, etc) they could just open the zipper with a ballpoint pen as mentioned elsewhere in the comments. That surely won't leave any red rings.

This sounds a lot like Facebook's ad mechanism.

Almost none? Produce can be purchased in reusable bags, and the water comes from your faucet so it doesn't need to be shipped cross-country.

My interpretation of the keynote: The screen flexes a tiny bit when you press on it (which my iPhone 6 does as well, so this doesn't necessarily imply new materials). They now have sensors behind the screen to quantify the flexing, and

IANAL, but maybe that phrase carries some protective legal powers?

In this case, it sounds like they were installing the monitoring hardware. > They installed micro-switches in the Coke machine to sense how many bottles were present in each of its six columns of bottles. The switches were hooked up
