   Great work! Was nice seeing this come together on Twitter over the past couple weeks. Would you mind adding a date to the article? Will make future comparisons to `current "state of the art"` more useful :)

   Nobody's saying it does - including Chrome. The browser will simply (and correctly) show "Not Secure" in the address bar when next to the url viewing your blog. If a user doesn't have an expectation of security, they won

   Nuclear rockets do not have to be about detonating nuclear warheads. Nuclear thermal rockets have no detonation, no fallout and no wide-scale meltdown risk. They've been demonstrated[1] to have efficiencies 3-4x greater than convention

   This amazing airbag contains neither air nor bags! But I really can't think of a better, clearer word for it.

   Is there some kind of sunlight shortage on Earth? Why would this be necessary?

   The "artificial cell" is a drop of water. Surface tension mimics a cell wall. The "metabolic function" is a reaction that can happen in water between components that are injected into the water. At the very least, this i

   I don't think the FAA does anything lightly when it comes to passenger air travel. The author probably misunderstood the meaning of the phrase.

    > The Galloways now suggest you take a screen shot so you can prove later that you did not agree to any additional charges. Does Amazon actually take action based on an easily manipulated screenshot?

    Snark aside, false-positive rejection will be an aspect of any lawful autonomous vehicle. Incorrect false-positive rejection will be a reality, and will have to exist within lawful operation.

    I think it bears repeating that HR exists to protect the company , not the employee . Often, an interaction with HR will work out terribly for the employee when HR is acting in the company's best interests. That's not the case h

    Google is also using 2D imagery to generate 3d structures in rural areas, as demonstrated in this fascinating essay[1]. Details like roof shape, building height, and even bay windows are included. [1] https://www.justinobeirne.co

    Additionally, phones that have biometric features first require a PIN to be turned on or unlocked after a period of time. So you really have Factor 3: You must have the password to power on the fingerprint reader. The fingerprint isn'

    How do you make a statically-linked, single-file web app with python?

    Yeah that definitely kept me around for a few extra months. Even with the limit though, a total bill of $80 stung pretty bad when $40 unlimited options were available from other carriers that include international (north american) coverage.

    I was pretty regularly hitting the $80 cap until I switched to Cricket for their $40 unlimited deal. If they're literally charging double compared to the domestic competition, it's pretty outrageous.

    Especially if the truck can hand off its payload to a fully charged & waiting replacement cab. If you have access to a fleet or don't need the same truck back, it becomes more of a baton relay than a marathon.

    I really don't see how the trolley problem is relevant to this situation. The car didn't decide that killing a person was better than some less-moral alternative.

    I think it's a reference to the imaginary trolley problem, which is often raised as an objection to self-driving capability. The idea is that making a decision between killing one person vs killing something more valuable than one pers

    While exciting, the barrier seems pretty high to even get access to some of this data. You have to contact their sales department, which probably means it has Enterprise-level pricing.

    I'm surprised they still suggest to "store your github username and password" locally when they could just as easily suggest to "store your github username and auth token". Even if it's locked in my OS's c
