Yeah, opt-out filters in mobile data connections are fucked up. I had to give giffgaff my passport information (no, not "the passport number", but all the letters and numbers at the bottom. They were very cumbersome to type, I had

All programming languages deal with pointers at some point or another, so it's just a matter of finding the GCD. At least that's what I think this is about, and Lisp is a good GCD.

Open doesn't mean it's flawless. Open means you get more eyeballs on your designs, increasing the chance of catching a mistake.

Two reasons: First: peer review. If your design documents are readily available, researchers don't have to reverse engineer them. Also, by open sourcing hardware design you lower the bar for critique: you might get feedback from an exp

Nope. The paper explicitly states their assumptions. Asking for admin password (root) is not one of them. If you can get them to run a game (for example), you can pwn them.

It's not really the camera controller that can be reprogrammed, it's the USB controller - there is a setting that the USB controller changes in the camera chip, but there is a nontrivial amount of logic done on the USB controller.

Hm, that's interesting. I'm in the UK, and I can access bbc.com without any issues. I'm using StudentCom, though.

Yes, there even was such a tool posted on HN some time ago. I can't remember its name, but basically it got its corpus from twitter data. Maybe someone else can post a link?

I know what you mean - and we do appreciate the command line in MC, but we also understand that it's not for everyone, so we try to make things like jhead accessible to everyone.

There are other reasons, but PHP is a pretty big one. If we're going to use anything other than Google Analytics, we want to integrate it pretty deeply with our frontend. We were thinking of making a Flask extension that would capture

Yes, but after evaluating it we decided not to use it. Also, we have a strict no-PHP policy.

Disabling Analytics and AdSense is very easy - just enable DNT on your browser. We haven't found any acceptable alternatives, although building our own analytics software[1] is on the roadmap. [1] https://github.com/Med

I wholeheartedly agree. I was talking to my professors the other day about this; I think writing code will have be similar to capturing photographs: before, only professionals could take a picture: they had to operate this complicated machi

You can still play around with computers like that! In fact, just `pacman -S qemu` and you're set! Mode 13h is awesome. I wrote a little quine[1] in x86, using mode 13h. [1] https://github.com/jdiez17/quines/t

I don't understand why so much weight is given to the difference between US and non-US nationals. And in my experience, it's pretty common to see the US assign a pretty high amount of trust by default to US citizens. For example,

Mapping a Javaesque (strange word, but I know what you mean) is not super hard. Encapsulate the Java stuff as opaque pointers and provide a functions that act on the objects. I actually think you could represent the Android API as a Go API

Yeah, the final poll. That is one of my favourite parts of a launch as well, second only to the engine ignition. Both of these things are very powerful - dozens of incredibly bright minds working together to lift thousands of kilograms into

Hm, I see. That's not the case where I come from, so I'm wondering if it's a US thing.

Since when are TVs "a default"? I don't think I've watched TV in a big while, I don't even remember TVs being generally on around me.
