Not only asks but I've had it display what it thinks is my number and asked, "is this your number?". I've consistently denied telling it my phone number. Of course it has it via whatsapp now but I've repeatedly made

Perhaps they're doing some creative counting and thousands refers to all the instances spun up over a day rather than the actual concurrent boxes.

You don't have to dig around for the underlying video stream, you can actually just paste a twitch stream link straight into the vlc network stream dialog, I'm not sure what magic it does but that's worked even well before th

This is also useful in case the amazon/google spat flares up again. With this I guess it should be possible to daisychain from twitch to chromecast via vlc if they start another game of brinkmanship over access to video.

This is an interesting read, it's always interesting to hear why something that ought to be fairly heavily federated or sharded can nevertheless fall over centrally.

Don't just tell them you did, but actually create two accounts and only access your own data. Don't try to access others' data. When changing IDs try to stick to ones you know you own on other accounts. If you're lazil

The recommendation of using incognito is to demonstrate he could access his own data without the appropriate session.

You're right, it's actually 6. When I first read it as "PIN" I assumed it was some kind of quick password alternative for recognised devices and it would need a full password for unknown machines but nope, it's the

I'd like to see maximum lengths too, there may be some unwelcome surprises. The worst password length I've seen recently is Skybet in the UK. It only allows digits 0-9 and has a maximum length of 5.

Most of those already exist, they just have poor UX. My files are all around me, conveniently stored on the //storageserver/share/ drive. File storage UI/UX hasn't changed for 20 years though. I can stand on m

When I had surgery recently, carb loading was done with a mix that dissolved in water.

If anyone wants this in an easier to read format and without the double scrollbars (and with far fewer trackers loaded) it's also available directly at https://airtable.com/shrbKl9sxaFJqtjAN/tblzm60W80AwbPLJj?bac..

I like this, but for the windows version it would be better to default the notebook directory to either My Documents or something under %appdata%, currently the default is a new directory directly under the users/<user> folder.

1280x1024 seems incredible for 1990, were people using those resolutions at the time? It seems weird to think I'm reading this on a monitor with less vertical resolution than that some 27 years later.

Second layers over bitcoin won't have those properties you've mentioned either.

If the transaction hasn't been committed (etched into the blockchain), then isn't there a financial advantage to accepting the highest fee transaction? The protocol doesn't matter, mempools aren't validated or shared[+],

Technically they can be 'returned' by using a higher fee to move the coins to a different address making the original transaction un-confirmable.

Or a second transaction layer, like a bank or VISA? At which point, why not use those same layers over USD instead of over bitcoin?

My bank charges nothing for instant transfers of up to £10,000. That's both cheaper than and faster than bitcoin. (And this isn't a cost hidden in a perk of a monthly fee, there's no monthly account fee either.) I'm pret

I too play with friends but it's not outright cheating that's an issue, it's usually more innocent than that, just edge cases or forgetting about less common rules, especially in more complex games like Eclipse or through the

What is awkward with things like table top simulator is when they don't have a rules engine, so you don't get the benefit of learning edge cases through the game engine and don't get the bookeeping sped up, so you still have

Yes, bitcoiners like to say "It's deflationary because the number of bitcoin is fixed" but you can instantly double all bitcoin in existence by forking to two otherwise identical (but incompatible) chains.

That requires net neutrality. In general I think there's a danger that ISPs become "Web service providers" and refuse anything which isn't HTTP from rDNS-able addresses. Of course people will just end up recreating TCP o

Which is odd, because it's behind cloudflare, should mostly be static and describes itself as "highly scalable". I guess there is a difference between highly scalable and highly scaled.
