Agreed. There may be some situations where I may want to ensure 100% correctness. I'm thinking life or death scenarios, (which if so, maybe should use a different protocol). However, checking the sports score or looking at cat memes is

I think at least part of the reason for this is acknowledging that the web isn't much of a web any longer. You've got three or four vendors that serve the vast majority of all internet traffic. And it's not happenstance tha

ICANN rules dictate that WHOIS contact info must be accurate. Their contact info currently points to a NY address.

Isn't this grounds for having their domain name revoked?

I think you took a wildly different interpretation of this art than I did.

Sure, and my desktop computer just reports 100% battery level? Which can't be easily replicated by a static header in the bot? This would be a silly thing to use to identify bots.

"Rewind to 1973. The operating system common on microcomputers was CP/M. The CP/M operating system had no environment variables. That sounds like a strange place to start a discussion of environment variables, but it’s actual

I'm confused by the CP/M reference. Author says it'll be important later then proceeds to explain how it had nothing to do with CP/M or the 8080 CPU.

I feel like this is semantics. I don't know all what they say, but I'd eat my breakfast cold if the word "safety" didn't come up in the PowerPoint deck. We may have to agree to disagree on this. My point was that th

I'd be happy with either approach, frankly. I just think yours is slightly less realistic. > Well, your bank is the one choosing to prevent your from running it on GrapheneOS. That's my whole point again! We need to regulate th

This is an idealism vs realism fight. You're both right in that you're both fighting for the end user to have ultimate control of their device. However, there's a major caveat here. Google's play protect prevents me from

Ah, thank you. I read that but wasn't connecting the dots properly.

I've read that paragraph multiple times (both in the original and in your post) and I don't see anything that says who owns the resulting text. Just where it comes from. Am I missing something obvious?

by fooqux 5mo ago
I just did. Nothing in here says who owns the resulting text. Did I miss something?

Being a Graphene user is fine and all, but if this continues it will have a chilling effect on OSS Android development. And that will still effect you.

Why isn't it practical? In my life, I've encountered many SWEs that have changed careers. I've met them in national parks working as rangers. In real estate, grocery store butchers, and yak ranchers. Yet I've never once

> we need to make it unprofitable Hard to do that when the very thing you're fighting against drastically lowers the cost of the product. No, this is what regulation and laws are for. Too bad science and the like seem to be on the w

I wish clover lawns would at least make a comeback. Still extremely hard to find seed for it though.

Lol, I'm rural enough that the concept of "neighborhood" has no meaning here. I'd have to have a neighbor first. And friends all live further away than 15 miles. Your point still stands though.

I'd love to get a node working just for fun. But it also seems like a waste since I'm extremely rural. The closest node is 200+ miles away. The chances of seeing any other device but my own connect to it seem slim. Is there stil

Eh, it's a stereotype. In my opinion, they should always be questioned, especially when it's an unkind one like this. Frankly I'm surprised to see this here. Hackers have had more than their share of hurtful stereotype appl

The article said " nearly invisible to the naked eye" (emphasis mine). Between that and the fact the researchers weren't that close to an actual lightning strike (meaning you presumably would have seen a stronger effect), I

I don't know what CPU you currently have but don't sleep on performance increases. If this new chip can do the same amount of work for less cycles, that's less time spent making heat.

Thank you for this. I can understand why many authors don't want to do this (running a store, etc) but I wish they all did. I'll take a gander; I could use some more sci-fi!

It can be a factor of many things, can it not? Seriously, if Japan was a map option in Transport Tycoon, it would be labeled "easy".

Maybe I'm just a cynical bastard, but after reading the article I can't help but agree. They saw the light way too easily and the sponsors didn't push back at all. That's how it's supposed to work, yeah, but it&
