   > Every other form of payment online is “pull" Sorry, but if I transfer funds to a friend from my banking app, how is that "pull"? If I send you money with PayPal, that's not "pull". If we settle our debt us

   This reminds me of a question I've had for the longest time (+): why is it that in the US wiring money between accounts is so expensive or difficult? Whole ecosystems of companies have sprung up (PayPal and Stripe come to mind, and app

   Sorry it got a bit long but here's something. Let me know if you need more or different suggestions. I would say you need at least three things: (1) a physics textbook with some EE emphasis to get the fundamental physics (again?), (2)

   Same setup here, zero problems encountered. Maybe there's a custom blocklist that gives problems?

   I can give you some starting points, but it depends on where you are now and where you want to go. Could you answer the following so I can narrow my recommendations down? 1) What is your background? Education, experience, hobby/work..

   Judging by your username, I assume you submitted your own blogpost. I really don't mean to put you down, because I am interested in the material but if you want to improve the quality of your blogposts, let me give some constructive fe

   I am interested but not convinced (I rarely use Google these days). Could you on the Chrome store: 1) Show a comparison between old and new image search results? 2) Explain why the old style is better? optional: 3) In broad strokes, how you

   Sure. Difference being it is present the instant the ad starts (or a few sec prior) instead of after X seconds of the ad has played.

    Well put, the scalability is a nice insight.

    While I agree that there are no silver bullets and multiple approaches are required, I don't agree that we need to pursue everything that may help. First, a lot of R&D must be done (for all types of solutions) and the money to fund

    I would argue there is a moral "sin" in releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, because (in your words) it leads to "practical problems", i.e. anthropogenic climate change. If you can remove the carbon again, t

    Additionally, the required storage volume looks pretty insane (see one of the figures in the linked paper). I'm not convinced of biomass burial.

    This is an amazing pledge and very powerful statement. However, I am not 100% convinced morally of CCS solutions. The main counter argument being that CCS technology enables the status quo of fossil fuel burning to continue. On the other h

    I like this a lot, thank you for making this. I do however wonder whether it is legal and/or doesn't violate the ToS of Twitter or the Twitter api that you use to download the tweets?

    There is a glitch in both charts on mobile (FF and chrome). For example, the first chart shows >2100 cumulative forest fires (contrary to ~1650 in the text). The value in the chart that appears if you click the data point is correct.

    First, I don't understand what you mean by "having this sort of list internally". Wikipedia is completely open, so what does "internally" even mean? Second, I don't understand your desire. Do you want more cont

    This list is awesome. Along with [1], it could make a great starting point for learning about new topics but also quickly gaining knowledge on what topics are considered important in a discipline. For example, if you want to learn about p

    Intuitively, it would make sense to have a 1/n fraction: you must be one out of n people in the database, right? However, I can think of two counter arguments (correct me if I am wrong). 1) Consider that your date of birth + postcode a

    Yes. It adds this feature. But only if you assume that the database was compromised or nefarious logging was enabled and no further access to the server was possible. Otherwise, the attacker can modify the JavaScript that is used by the cli

    No it doesn't. In your example, the hash of the password becomes the new password (I.e. the new secret). The nonce/salt adds no security because it must be open to anyone attempting to authenticate.

    I had the same problem with the Wiki article! But, to be honest I had the same with the last part of your comment. Could you explain your last paragraph in other words because I don't really understand what you mean there?

    The noise mainly comes from the tip of the rotor blade [1]. Reducing the noise from these tips is an active research topic and some progress is established [2]. However, it seems difficult to maintain high efficiency when attempting to redu
