And as noted in the article, while that helps a lot with most of the issues, there are some corner-cases they still don't handle.

I can't rotate my keys if I lose access to accounts because my computer died and my backup is useless.

There are a lot of fools out there. The real question is whether a clickwrap indemnification would hold up in coult; I suspect it wouldn't.

Many municipal water systems are wholely in one state. Does the Constitution grant Congress the right to control municipal water quality? Also it's kind of a moot point if federal law has not granted that right and does not seem likely

Not the first place I'd heard that, but I found it ironic that the parent comment's own link refuted their claims in the first couple paragraphs. And Wikipedia tends to be pretty reliable -- in a 2005 Nature analysis, Wikipedia wa

Hedging is not insider trading. Insider trading is trading based on material non-public information in breach of a duty or obtained through fraud . In that sense, it's more of a principal-agent problem. Also -- hedging is generally no

Most competent people at the DOJ have either been fired or left. And the current administration seems to love insider trading, so long as they can be the insiders doing the trading.

That's enough of an oversimplification as to not really be true. They developed an issue with explosive decompressions, because at the time we didn't fully understand how cyclic stress caused metal fatigue. It is true that they ha

> Anyway, i just wanna get on record that i predict an ai bubble pop event in the next 12 months. Certainly possible, but I feel like you're very much going out on a limb predicting anything that soon. The market can stay irrational

The point of Anubis isn't to prevent bots from accessing a site, but rather to prevent dumb bots from accidentally DOSing a site. If someone adds an Anubis solver to their spider, but then also makes it respect cache tags and stops cra

CPython needs you to also be running an operating system. And while it might be theoretically possible to get a NoMMU Linux running on an ESP32, that's generally not very useful for practical applications compared to micropython or so

The trouble is, there are three different "versions" of "the search didn't work," only one of which I would say is definitely a bug: - The thing the user searched for doesn't exist, so it wasn't found. Thi

You can run a Windows VM with QEMU, but virt-manager is probably a simpler choice. Qemu is very accurate and performant, but also very flexible and not exactly straightforward to configure. But if your goal is to experiment with virtualizat

That's incredibly sad if so. Without meaning, it's not art, merely "content".

Before LLMs came around, it took quite a bit more effort to write something than to read it. So the fact that someone had taken the time to create something was a signal that they thought it was worth that effort, and so it might be worth m

Reading the article, it sounds more like they funded this by buying a SQLite support contract, and the SQLite developers created this in the process of helping them track down the issue.

Probably your best bet -- EASA has worldwide cloudless imagery [1] (scroll down for a link to their tile server) as well as a worldwide high-resolution elevation model [2] [1] https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/news/2024-2

There is good free data available. Consider using EASA Sentinel satellite tiles for the imagery, and JAXA's ALOS Global Digital Surface Model for elevation. And the USGS has higher-resolution lidar elevations in much of the US.

I am amazed that by emailing support you were able to actually get in contact with someone technical who understood the product well enough to fix the problem.

Pressure cookers get up to pressure by heating water until the steam pressure is whatever pressure they are trying to reach -- which means their temperature will necessarily be above the boiling point of water. Low-temperature high-pressure
