Practical question: Does this mean as a foreigner you cannot use these shops? I know from trips to sweden that a lot of people use a custom payment system called swish that only exists in sweden, but I never had trouble paying with a visa c

This discussion has been going on for a while. Though it's important to understand what exactly this is about. Based on current trends the most pessimistic climate scenarios (most notably RCP 8.5) seem unlikely, mostly due to its large

This is a key issue I see with bugbounty programs. They tend to react with "either you can show us that this is a real danger or we'll ignore it". It seems pretty clear that this bug shows something is terribly wrong and prob

This is why some people have fought hard to have some standards what is an acceptable FOSS license. Things would be much harder if we wouldn't have such standards. Imagine a software ecosystem with a wild variety of licensing terms wit

Unfortunately the documentary Cowspiracy is operating with massively exaggerated numbers (it claims meat is responsible for more than 50% of ghg emissions, it's explained on the wikipedia article of the film). Real numbers from credibl

Oh this is interesting context. I remember Immunity advertising about an exploit for spectre they have, and it's easy to find: https://twitter.com/immunityinc/status/959155986098421760 Very likely that this i

> It doesn't need to happen in every area. It just needs to happen in enough areas that the carbon output is brought below a threshold that the environment can safely absorb. That is actually a misconception. There is no such thresh

Not gonna happen. This is a popular idea, I think people are a bit deluded by the fact that Wind+Solar got so cheap. Don't get me wrong: This is great. We'll likely be able to get rid of fossil-based electricity simply due to cost

There's another aspect you may not know about: It's close to how it's done in chinese, which is 2021年3月17日. They use different separators (the chinese words for year, month and day), but it's close enough. Given that chi

> Every prescription I've read almost exclusively focuses on changing behavior. This sounds like a big strawman. I honestly have never met anyone who thinks we can fix climate change exclusively with changing behavior.

Spoiler: No, but it can help. I'm really tired of this technology vs. policy vs. behavior changes discussions. It's a false dichtomy. We'll need all of that.

We don't, but a challenge trial wouldn't change that. Best you could do with a challenge trial is to get faster to the results we already have. These vaccines work. We know that. This is just observational data supporting that wha

> In reality, only about 5% of our crude oil use goes towards plastic. This is such a dangerous take, and so popular. If we want to fix climate change we need to get rid of emissions in all sectors (and yes, plastic does create emissions

FWIW: It's quite a nice game. If you like retro games fire up an emulator and give it a try.

I think one conclusion the cryptographic community took from previous issues is that the best way to get a solid cipher is a group process. Even highly skilled cryptographers can fail. Ron Rivest designed RC4, and I don't think anyone

The cryptographic randomness has practically no downside if you use it for non-cryptogrpahic purposes. Not true the other way round. And I'm inclined to say given how many misconceptions around randomness there are around, I don't

It's often the case. It's not always the case. I remember the stories during the summer. "mRNA is promising, but there never was an mRNA vaccine that made it to the market. Nobody knows if it'll work." Well, it does

Is there such a thing as dormant rabies? My impression was that most people die from rabies if they get it, so you really want to vaccinate people with any risk of getting rabies. And the vaccine is amazingly effective. (+ you can still giv

FWIW Apache has a new stapling implementation that is not suffering from all the major problems the old one did. Can be activated with "MDStapling on".
