Flash floods can form out of sight. You might not have rain where you are, but the water is coming downstream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p2vzhTMhW0 Now imagine you are in a gorge or choke point where it narrows sudde

Rainbow tables: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_table They are just trying to avoid a quick lookup in a pre-computed table. Adding a salt means they have to start from scratch. Uniqueness is not really a factor,

I don't always trust tech from Aliexpress but sometimes it's worth a gamble. I had a look at that brand and they also do a KVM (HDMI, 2 USB ports for K/M) for USD $16. That seems way too cheap but I don't really understa

Predatory pricing is related, but it relates to a business selling something so low it drives competitors out of business. So I suppose if that applies where you live, and you had a business selling only the low-margin type of item, and you

Yeah I rarely watch Twitch but basically do so for two reasons. The first is to check out games I'm interested in. The streamer is mostly incidental unless they're actually getting in the way of seeing the game. YouTube exists for

I was being cheeky, however, since it's in the ToU then potentially we can and should be censured for such things on this site. Thailand believes such laws are applicable to everyone around the world so my place of residence doesn&#x27

Maybe we'll get there one day. If SEO-bot were as smart as a decently intelligent human, it'd take all that into account. I'm not holding my breath.

I had a middle eastern variant (kibbeh or something?) here in Sydney and it was loaded with spices and tasted great. I am not a fan of raw meat for texture reasons usually though.

I assume they don't serve salmon there though because of the risk? That's the reason it wasn't eaten raw before Norway got involved.

I think there is an argument that they should for rich snippets at least. They go a bit beyond being an index then.

I suppose they are hoping the social companies (FB/GOOG) do not pull out, so then they get all the listed benefits around data and profit sharing (including algorithms - if Google had to share SEO implementation details or FB with thei

It could be, but as an incidental side effect I don't think it's a great outcome. The law as suggested is confusing and uncertain and that will have a chilling effect on sharing 'news' while the crazies sharing opinions

And the ABC/SBS will not benefit from payments if this goes through. Nor will independents. Only the largest for-profit companies will. The gap ever widens. I guess the level of science and technological literacy in our government here

I think I got soft locked by going to the tree before talking to the fire. The only way back is the door and there is no bouncy mushroom on that side. Also taking the bone to the cloud doggy doesn't seem to do anything even after his b

I agree but everyone has moments of emotional weakness where things come out without thinking. It becomes more about breaking a habit so it doesn't happen unconsciously. Or apologising if it does happen. It can take a moment to realise

I play games with people in their mid-20s and a few have let out "that's gay" as a synonym for something being bad. I don't think any of them would qualify as homophobic, it's just more a case of hearing something s

It makes sense in retrospect, I just wasn't expecting it to suddenly stop when it did (I was paying no attention to number of episodes). Though every year in the mid-90s was indeed a huge step forward so it'd be tough to cover eve

The article is definitely capitalising on the show, but I think it's more of an ad for the Internet Archive and the value it brings. A lot of people will be searching for that game after the show, and it makes sense for them to post ab

I get your point but I liked it a lot despite this. They had some big names but the focus on the little people (players), the Nintendo call centre, and stuff like Gay Blade was a part of history I hadn't really seen especially as a non

We're definitely getting more of the Chinese robocalls and other SMS spam here in Australia too. I think there are two sides to it: scammers like everyone else are feeling the pinch from reduced economic activity, and desperate people
