As morbid as it may be, I wonder if that system can tell the difference between a lamb and a human of comparable size. The system might still able to identify (or misidentify) all targeted joints.

I second your proposal. While I never post a comment on an article before reading it, I almost always read the comments before reading the article to avoid click baits. An brief one-line summary that serves the same role as an abstract woul

You're saying that because normal consumers wont be helped by a "technical" list on github/gitlab, we shouldn't bother? What about "technical" users?

Maybe it was wishful thinking on my part, but there was a time when I hoped that svg would be to vector graphics what png is raster images. With svg continuing to gain complexity, all that hope is gone. At this rate, it'll become anoth

I personally found it too informal; I found the numerous non-technical remarks about how "boring" TCP off putting, tbh. That said, I understand that the author added these in an attempt to make the article more enjoyable. I also a

Morality does not make sense in the absence of common principles. I personally consider IP to be morally deplorable because it encourages rent-seeking; companies can stop innovating and use law to thwart competitors. I bet the lack of IP is

If you can, could you elaborate more on python's stdlib holding it back? I think batteries-included experience is one of the reasons why so many people (including myself) use python. It's also one of the features I sorely miss whe

That doesn't mean we shouldn't mitigate MITM. Using either gpg or tls without the other makes the security of the system weaker than it needs to be. Gpg key authenticity can't be practically verified by end users. I remain un

I wasn't aware of Sandcats.io. Thank you for mentioning it. While it doesn't address all issues, it does go a long way towards mitigating them. I must also take this opportunity to commend you guys on how transport security is han

There is. You can either randomize the fingerprint (per-session fresh vm configured from a pool of possibilities) or unify it (tor/tails), provided that enough people do the same.

The parent raises a good point though: Tax law is extremely complex when it doesn't need to be. The only justification for this complexity (that I could come up with) is exactly that it's complex to enable tax evasion/tax bur
