A wild story. He’s cautious of traveling internationally. I’ve also read opinions that Ulbricht can still be troubled by legal matters inside the US, civil cases, and other potential charges that were dropped. Is that possible? I very disli

That would be useful. I assume the feature doesn’t exist. You could ask for it, or maybe it’s possible to develop an external search site or tool that can do that.

The weird answer is that at least some of that functionality is already there. But the documentation and fine control of the search is lousy: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... There

HN itself is a bookmarking tool, BTW The management and search and annotation options are very weak, but when you submit a link here at HN, you are also making a permanent bookmark that will remain accessible via your account

Yikes! It would be smart to bury these strings in an ad hoc obfuscation so they aren’t so obvious. It doesn’t even need to be much better than ROT13. Security by obscurity is good for this situation.

No real methodology. Only my opinion. > Can you imagine living in one of the countries that the US keeps bombing? Every time you hear an airplane you have to think if you're about to die, or someone you know is about to die, or a sc

The image sensor samples different light wavelengths with a time offset of about 250ms, as the satellite moves over the Earth. I think that means it could be possible to enhance the resolution by using luminance data from one wavelength to

Case in point: Google providing Android for free killed Windows Phone, Symbian, PalmOS, Blackberry, and several other attempts to create a mobile device OS Which was among the reasons that Google did that, not that the company would say so.

That would encourage sellers to mail a potential fire hazard, unless it’s clarified that there’s no risk when it’s not connected. But upvoted for helping everyone realize that’s a problem

No. It seems much too early to draw this conclusion. SpaceX’s Falcon program also looked like a guaranteed fail. But it has been the most astonishing success in affordable orbital launch tech in human history. The essay’s comparison to t

Agree. The only permission the extension needed was “ downloads , which normally only allows an extension to download and search for user files, not read or write to them” That’s not an unusual permission for an attractive but safe sounding

Thanks, I didn’t know that, but it will still affect console sales, and therefore the chip fab manufacturing load and the sales of the chips in the console. That’s why a console manufacturer pays Rockstar for an exclusive.

The 6502-based Atari computers had the CPU clock held at 80% higher than the C64. That must have been a very significant impact at a time when the CPU had to do most of the work.
