Surprised to see my article float up again so many years later. I wouldn't consider a mosaic + swirl to be fully secure either though, especially considering both of these operations may preserve the sum of all pixels, which may still

It was probably less about revenue targets and more about pre-emptively removing potential future competition while it is still relatively cheap.

There wouldn't be an org maintaining it. You would just buy $100 worth of GitCoin and that would be enough for 10000 commits, or something like that.

Time to create a decentralized, blockchain-based GitHub (GitCoin?) and have every commit be a transaction on the chain. Nothing would ever be takedownable.

If this thing can circumvent the China firewall reliably and broadcast non-firewalled Wi-Fi in my hotel room for all my devices so that I don't have to set up VPN on each one, they absolutely have my business. However I don't thin

Life costs a LOT more than you estimate. Start with housing. A few more square meters costs ~$1000 more on top of what I pay now, per month. That's $200K in today's dollars or $500-700K over their childhood (0-18 years) if you inc

I think it's also because high middle class earners are financially smart (don't buy things if they don't have the money), AND health-smart (realize their body's needs, including sleep) so they choose logically not to ha

> you'll never have kids Which is also OK. It's financially smart to realize you don't have the resources and not have kids. If {some subset of the government, rich people, people who control the economy} want more people

Mullvad is one of the few that work in China today, any others? Or is it possible to run your own Mullvad server? Rolling your own L2TP/IPSec gets flagged by the China firewall these days

OpenSCAD is the only CAD tool I use. I can'd figure out how to operate a graphical 3D software with a 2D GUI so it's just easier to describe things mathematically. I just wish it had operations for subtractively chamfering, roundi

I found this too. I wonder why they don't just accept a PUR water filter on the input side. I also wonder why mini-split heating systems drip and pool water outdoors instead of pumping that distilled water back indoors for humidificati

The law has lots of weird terminology. For example they have "exhibits" that are really just some crappy figures in an appendix of someone doing something bad, and not actual exhibits that you can buy tickets to visit.

Is there anything here from Ubiquiti that can allow me to plug an AT&T Fiber directly into my Unifi switch and get rid of the BGW620 crap? One would think AT&T Fiber is so common in Ubiquiti's target market that they should mak

I don't understand why this is "hard". Doesn't a donut have this coveted property? I can't think of a way to drill a hole in a donut that would allow a donut through.

There are also airline wifi these days that allow "free messaging" i.e. WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger traffic only. If one could create a TCP-over-WhatsApp VPN that would be fantastic.
