You should pick a name that is distinctive and also likely to draw legal action from three or more trademark holders. How about "Open World Window"?

Yes. Armrests are a delineation of boundaries. They keep people from encroaching on each other's spaces.

It's not repeating digits I'm talking about, though, it's termination. If it were exactly 22.7, that's 227/10. The question would be "Why is the denominator 10?"

The Efimov constant is only approximately ≅ 22.7. It would be a little surprising to have a physical constant end in exactly 0.7, since it would imply that there's something special about base 10 and bases that are a multiple of 10. S

Link shorteners are bad for usability, but they're also a potential attack vector for targeted attacks. A link might go to the right site 99.9% of the time, and redirect a user to a malicious site the rest of the time. You can redirec

Given the domain name and the title, I was really hoping for an article on how to recover from a five-second loss of control in rocketry.

The text is essentially the same as covered by the Guardian here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7774158 And tptacek's first comment on that post does a good job of highlighting where Ladar's narrative cuts

It would be interesting to trace the true lineage of this (or any) legislative edit. It has a smell if an outside source, as though our laws are not written by our lawmakers.

What fascinates me about FinFisher is that I still don't think we have an explanation about why Apple took so long to patch the vulnerability FinFisher was using from 2008-2011. I wouldn't be surprised if pressure on Apple was inv

Has anyone here actually tried wearing a mask in public for any length of time? I've done it for a day on public transit. Oddly, people seemed more likely to ask me for help, but I'm not sure what it would be like if I tried it

The last paragraph is the heart of the article. "The law also creates the basis for a new Russian national payment system that hopes to compete with the two U.S. companies." This seems to achieve several goals at once: 1) Highligh

Administrative subpoenas have really been the hammer agencies have used to crack into business records, time and again. I hope this change is as widespread as the article seems to claim. A lawful warrant should be the gold standard for rec

What's interesting to me is that you can demonstrate this without too much work, and it's true for starting numbers other than 1,1, such as Lucas numbers (1,3,4,7,11,...) f(n+2)=f(n+1)+f(n) If you posit that this number has a solu

In both cases, the ones holding power gain access to the data through "lawful" secret requests. You don't need to control the company to exercise control over the company.

Their statement would carry much more weight if they could point to one example of an exploitable zero-day they've actually disclosed. I don't particularly trust the NSA, but this example probably exists.

The problem involving a duplicate number from 1..n... The sum 1+2+...+n is just n(n+1)/2. Something worth knowing for this sort of "trick" problem.
