Only slightly related: SF now texts you instead of calling back for a 911 hangup. I called 911 at the Montgomery BART station when visiting SF last week, because someone was having a medical emergency. I got dead air (despite strong signal

I find it incredible that if I search for [spacex] on YouTube during a launch, the official livestream doesn't appear in the first 20 results. Instead, it's all scams like what you described. I wonder at what point Google's

Most attacks on passwords these days are credential stuffing, not brute force. This means that password rules REDUCE the amount of work an attacker has to do, as they can omit previously breached usernames/passwords which don't me

The FCC as regulator is an interesting idea. Appliances sold in the US already have to prove they don't create harmful EMF emissions. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to add minimum security requirements to avoid harmful "da

Think of it as a checksum. As a non-native German speaker, I sometimes struggle with understanding speech (especially with thick accents). Knowing the gender lets me narrow down the possibilities of what a word might be, when I don't

Crimes should be investigated by law enforcement, not Cloudflare. Cloudflare is not Batman. (Edit to add: yes, I'm aware law enforcement is often useless when it comes to cybercrime. But that's what we need to fix, rather than en

This sounds similar to wheel landings in a tail wheel aircraft. The FAA says "relax the elevator" but "tiny application of forward pressure on the controls" sounds more apt. https://www.faa.gov/regulatio

I think the title could be better stated as, "Problem drinkers are less likely to be regular exercisers." It's hard to get up & exercise when you're hungover.

You can be sued by anyone, for anything, at any time. Whether or not that lawsuit has any merit is irrelevant. With certain exceptions based on subject matter (e.g. SLAPP) or jurisdiction, it still costs money to hire a lawyer to defend aga
