Small nitpick > Yes, I can do this for any whole number bigger than zero. Should say "Yes, I can do this for any whole number zero or bigger." since 0 is a palindrome

I can reproduce that on chrome with JS off. It looks like the first two paragraphs are there but covered by the image.

On some booking sites it might actually be a good idea to open them in incognito mode, and you can get a quote without them using data linked to you.

How about this question: If all matter in the universe was dedicated to producing new bit sequences until the heat death of the universe, what is the length of the shortest sequence that would never be generated?

Yea but this is only temporary. In the long turn (hopefully) mining will end up making gpus cheaper and better from the increased demand.

Makes sense to me. You can't buy many cash equivalents with credit card and can't usually get cash advances from a credit card, so this is just correctly implementing that policy. Can you buy stock with a credit card?

I have a question: the attacks were apparently found by the authors of these papers and project zero very close to each other. Why is it that a bug that has existed so long was suddenly found by both groups so close to each other? Are there

I think they block svg but not other images because svgs can contain javascript and could be used in a phishing attack. i.e. data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'><script&

I have come to the same conclusion. There needs to be more IoT devices that function like that though. It is difficult to find ones that meet those requirements. Does anyone know of a good smart thermostat with an api that can be used witho

It looks like bloomberg updated the title to: "Alphabet's Waymo Alleges Uber Stole Self-Driving Secrets", which makes more sense. We should change the title here.

That's what Google Labs was. If they had kept Google Labs and released some of these products under that brand, people might not be as worried about them killing the full-fledged Google projects when experiments are ended.

Apple said that could sync the data if the AppleID password wasn't changed. Can Apple just revert the AppleID account on their servers to a backup with the old password hash (or however it is stored)? Why wouldn't this work? Has s

If you look at the 2004 Grand Challenge things looked pretty bad too, but driverless cars have made huge strides in the past ~10 years. If robots can do the same, they could be ready by then.

It makes sense that idempotent can have both definitions. Mathematical functions can't have side effects so they have the "normal" definition of f(f(x))=f(x). In computer science, with side effects, since state can change, th
