I can make my own plastic ID card through various services online. What are you bringing to the table that I couldn’t easily do myself?

Hmm. Anyone got a non-paywall version of this link?

Yup, NTS is a good thing. Thanks for bringing that update to the conversation!

You are correct. I meant the local LAN segment. I think I may have tried to go back and edit that clarification into the message, but failed. And then failed to post a follow up clarification. So, good catch! Thanks!

That’s why I password protect any one-time URLs that I ever use, regardless of the provider. They can’t cause the URL to auto-expire if they don’t have the password. This password on the one-time URL is something that I share via less secur

Which is behind a CAPTCHA. Is there a non-paywall & non-CAPTCHA solution?

Having read the article now, I think what they missed was that a good NTP server implementation doesn’t depend on the commercial time servers that you can buy off the rack. They may have good GPS hardware and software, but many times their

The standard rule is that you need 2n + 1 upstream time sources to protect against n falsetickers, but this falls down for the case of n=1. If you want to protect yourself against just one falseticker, you need at least four upstream time s

Poul-Henning Kamp has shown that you can do this with NTP, with source code that actually follows the standard well. PTP makes a great refclock for more typical NTP implementations, but is not a replacement. I haven’t played around much wi

Hmm. How long until someone creates a “pump and dump” scheme here to get the Miami police dependent on this MiamiCoin, only to then totally destroy the police department as part of the “dump” side of that scheme? I think a lot of people mig

As I see it, this is closely related to the wildfire preparedness promoted by the FireWise organization (Firewise.org takes you to http://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/Fire-causes-and-risks/W... ). I’m on the Fire

There are plenty of outdoor or indoor/outdoor cats that kill for reasons other than food. Some cats just have a strong sense of prey.

We have door levers, not knobs. Levers are easier to use, and look prettier. They’re also a lot easier for cats to use. We have had to baby-proof all of the door levers to all of the rooms we don’t want our cats getting into. One cat in par

Dogs have owners. Cats have servants. My wife and I have four cats in this house. We have no illusions as to what role we perform.

There are predecessors in this space. A former employer of mine used one, but I don’t remember the name. Problem is, by forcing the physical office analogy to this level, you add a lot of background visual noise to the environment, over aud

Messing with all the other people in the same capsule hotel that you’re staying in? IMO, that’s a pretty dick move. Not cool.

It’s all about the sequential performance here. The other access patterns have much lower numbers, even if they are still record setting. But that’s one expensive 32TB SSD, made out of a RAID-0 of 4TB NVME drives.

I learned how bit-shifting and bitwise operators worked while obtaining my BSCS degree. I even used it in a programming task in my Numerical Methods class, and my programs ran much, much faster than everyone else in that class. Like, orders

The ex-pat life comes with certain costs, yes. Did that from 1998 to 2006. My wife was brought over to Belgium by what was then a subsidiary of JP Morgan, and they paid for all the additional expenses, including the tax services of some ver

My laptops operate almost exclusively in clamshell mode. So, having a Touch ID on the external keyboard would be great! Sure would be nice if it worked with Intel-based hardware, though. ;(

Have you tried S3 with auto tiered storage? Only the most recent stuff lives on fast media, the older stuff gets auto migrated to media that has much better cost/byte ratios, including all the way to Deep Glacier storage if that’s what

I love the design of the Aptera. But these days, I want to see them actually shipping real product to real consumers. Until then, it’s a nice design with a nice pipe dream.

Danger was great, right up until the moment they got bought by Microsoft. Then they were pretty much completely and totally dead. They weren’t the first acquisition that Microsoft effectively killed, and I’m sure they won’t be the last.

In some cases, I think using a heap storage mechanism plus tags is a much better solution. Then things like tags for date and tags for location can become at least partly automatic. Coming up with a single canonical naming system where each

More like “Hawaiian Shirt Fridays”. Does everyone want to wear Hawaiian shirts at all? Does everyone want to be forced to buy a Hawaiian shirt so that they can comply with the requirement? For me, every day is Hawaiian Shirt Friday. I love
