Its deeper than that. Calling the fused location api contacts google's servers with location data. It is the only API that's well supported and documented. Using GPS sensors directly uses tons of battery, takes minutes to get a fi

v2 domains were just the maximum length that you could reasonably memorize them, perfect for privacy. There's no chance for memorizing a v3 domain, so you'll have to write them down or persist them in some way. Having a post-it of

The paper (and code) describe a 3D voronoi diagram, and imagine what it would be like if each segment was an alien civilization.

Torrent seed files only contain hashes for "pieces" (typically 1-4MB each), which can cross file boundaries. There's no way to pull an md5 for a specific file without actually snatching it.

If you're feeling nostalgic, Archive.org does a great job digitizing these, and they go back to 1950. https://archive.org/details/ikea-catalogs/Ikea-1950

This isn't a rumor. Non-LTSC builds do not have an opt out, unless the machine was booted with no access to the network. Not configuring wifi or leaving ethernet unplugged allows you to bypass it.

I'd imagine that in this case, as in many others, it is purely punitive. The state just likes reminding 'troublemakers' of its monopoly on violence.

I've been looking for an off-site cloud storage provider that takes encrypted zfs sends, so I believe I'm in the target market for this. My use case is a home storage server with a zpool of several hundred terabytes. However, ther

This is a great step, but I wish browsers would allow you to set domains that are considered to be secure origins in all cases. I have a decent intranet with transport security guaranteed by VPN, but because it isn't "HTTPS"

I worked for a small startup in copenhagen that worked on this exact problem. Our virtual camera solution was great, and detection of the ball worked most of the time, but white long socks would almost always take the camera's attentio

If you were lost at sea / in the wilderness, would you trust your safety and eventual return to a machine learning model picking up your body heat? I know I'd want actual people in the aircraft.

There was a lot of social/cultural issues with YikYak. My college explicitly forbid using it, and a lot of other small colleges had similar policies, largely because of abusive posts happening on the platform.

The dynamoDB bill ran over $25,000 a month, just for their dev environment. Granted, they had thousands of developers, but still.

A fortune 100 financial institution I once worked for had an initiative to migrate their extremely large, fairly well normalized DB2 database to schema-less dynamoDB. All new tables had to go into dynamo, and if your service begins consumin

Is there any way to get a copy of the application? I'm sure there are some of us that would love to take it apart and look for URLs / file hashes it is looking for.

This isn't just about software capabilities. The telcos don't need to have remote code execution on the device. Their huge network of receivers has to identify your device for routing, and that reveals your location. Simply connec
