I’ve used the EAV pattern to allow users to add “custom fields” to an object. The application has Person objects, who work for a Department. Lets say one department wants to record their employees’ shirt size, while another department wants

Would you mind sharing more about the content/format of your letter? Verizon has hiked my rates a few times (with no improvement in service, naturally), so I'm wondering what to write if it happens again. Does needlessly increasin

That's funny. Probably 90% of my spam calls are spoofing local numbers, so I've entirely stopped answering local numbers I don't recognize. I can't recall the last time I got a spam call from an 800 number, so there&#x27

They're probably OK with it because of the profit they stand to make from the increased visibility/marketing. To Americans, I'd guess "Feitian" sounds like "some foreign thing I've never heard of" whe

"modern transistors" are available in differently-sized packages. I assumed someone building their own CPU would be using larger transistors than those normally used inside a production CPU. You sure one of these[0] couldn'

What if one of your transistors has a tiny logic board inside?

If I read it correctly, they used the binary compiler which existed on the machine to compile a new copy of the compiler (from clean source). This existing binary compiler was "poisoned" (modified) such that it would not only pois

Sure, but deleting it doesn't do much good if they're going to get a new copy of the same information from someone else a week later.

Is there any EU law which prevents them from resuming the spam as soon as another one of your acquaintances gives LinkedIn access to his/her contacts? Because otherwise that's what's going to happen...

That's a bit of a tautology, isn't it?

Can anyone elaborate on this? I assume Amazon could trivially build an internal CCC, and I'm at a loss how their internal tools would be less accurate than a 3rd-party scraper...

Sounds like a good way to put oneself in harms way for no good reason. Isn't this what insurance is for?

Not to defend the rewriting, but it's worth noting that this article is a technical deep-dive, written by whoever discovered and reported this bug. Might be appropriate to replace the Ars URL with this one.

> you never know exactly what you’ll get What does that mean? These models have reviews online just like regular TVs (sure, maybe there are fewer data points), and the tech specs tend to be even more detailed.

Rather than blocking internet, you can just buy a TV without the spyware. Keywords: "Commercial Display", "Digital Signage", "Computer monitor". I've been happy with models from LG and NEC.

That helps with communicating the lat/long, but not with determining where that actually is. With what3words, not only are first responders still required to use some mobile device, but they're also reliant on a proprietary serv

It may be your bucket, but Amazon is still a third party. Does turning off logs disable all logging on the Amazon side, or just your copy of those logs?

The phrase "for ads" probably plays a critical role in his response. Just like the liberal application of "generally" during yesterday's questioning.

Perhaps the magnetic tape recorder and cell phone weren't the best examples of "unintended uses", but using chest x-rays as phonograph records is a clever hack. Smartphones are intended a a personal device running apps contro
