Or you can make the transmitter piece an Internet-of-Thing, so it connects to the cellular network -- and leave the transmitter piece somewhere near the victim's house.

>If courses can make you wealthy, we won't be having this conversation? Oh well, I think people will agree that following the advice in courses in reputable universities, perhaps, makes people wealthy more frequently than following

You are doing many that the course says do not do -- stashing gold, thinking one kind of investment (buying properties) is always better than others, thinking one kind of fiat money is better than another, etc. You are basing many of those

The problem is you have to put in the effort to maintain/repair/rent out the property you have. If an effort is needed to maintain profits then I could as well do many other things that bring better returns than properties. The id

I found top Youtube comments to be more or less funny/enjoyable now. The shitty comments got downvoted so I no longer see them unless I delibrately try to see them, they don't appear. It's very different from youtube comments

I am normally a FOSS guy, but I have to give credits to Photoshop. I dabbled in retro hardware lately and I am using an iBook running on OS 9 with Photoshop 5.0. It's unbelievably powerful and most everything you want a competent image

I don't live in such area, but I don't oppose to the idea of living in one. I think there is something romantic and charming about watching stars burning firewoods at night, listening to birds chirping in the morning and chill out

The general idea is that you better off reading review papers, they are more approachable: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-science-review/mo... Or you could start with something you already knew, but in the

I don't understand SELinux and I have not found a document that explains for the average Joe like me what it is for and why doesn't my qemu-libvirt work when it is enabled, which is the default. It took me two nights to figure out

There is no doubt that China has weaker ethical rules compared to the West, but I think in this case, as long as the person consents, what's the problem? Do you necessarily think that it's more ethical to have laws or rules that f

I wish we had a sci-hub.cc for wsj, I think one would be useful. There are plenty of reasons a person would want access to those articles without wanting/having the means to pay. Personally, I don't care for wsj articles, but if t

I didn't include a plug, but since you asked we have a website: http://hab.education/ which has video and some information. That website also links to a twitter handle and a facebook group. The founder of our group is

It will surely burst when it reaches about 100k ft. We attach a parachute to the payload to make it descend gradually. Other than that, there is no control over where it's going to land. However, because the payloads are small styrofoa

Launching high-altitude helium balloons has been the activity some friends and I do for fun. Over the course of 2 years+ we've been doing this, we had over a dozen of successful launches where we could retrieve the payload. For kids, t

I am Vietnamese. There was a mythically rare oil called 'ca cuong' that not many have experienced in their life but was mentioned enough times in traditional folklore and old-timey food novels. The oil is from a little cockroach-l

You're such a troll, but I love the read, thanks for nothing.

Yep, but it doesn't matter what it technically is, the underlying principle is the same. We'd have a more secure, more understandable, more open system that replaces the proprietary ones. I have my Chromebook which runs Linux and

When I looked back when Linux was something only enthusiasts used back 15 years ago, it does seem like so too. We never thought one day Linux would be dominant and people would go through great lengths to deal with GNU software, Firefox or

@cassowary, geotagging your photos can be done without logging your location on the server. It can be done locally. Plus, I thought that Snapchat does not keep the pictures you've taken? (I have been out of that since then, so I don&#x

That is pretty much the reason I didn't have a Windows phone. I would have considered it if it actually did promise privacy. Free phone sounds nice, but tinkerers like me don't want to apply and get the approval lottery for shit.

Only log me, but don't let my friends know: You know your privacy is respected jack shit when the least intrusive setting is letting the service know and log you, but not letting your friends know. The real question isn't that w

Yep. It was called Snapchat score or something. It had a list of top 3 people or so and how much score they had with each other. It was unreal. This was back in spring-summer 2015.

If you trust those """services""" to be secure and trust that they care about your privacy, then you will be betrayed sooner or later, in ways you can't think of -- just like in the article. Fun fact, year

Should we run it through a machine learning algorithm to see how the hell any of the "component" score adds up to a 96 overall score? And why only those components, but not others? I want my dog nose filter score in too. Snake oil

That might be true, but I'd say if they say their expertise is to have artificial intelligence, then by that I'd like to have the picture that is the most pleasant to look at. By that benchmark, and I can confidently say that 1 is

Exactly, the iPhone 8 pictures look so much better. You don't have to quantify shit to realize this.

I own a Pixel but this DxO stuff is really dodgy. In the portrait pic of the girl, the difference between the Pixel 2 [1] and the iPhone 8 [2] is night and day, with the Pixel 2 looking like shit. She so pale, and the fake bokeh looks like

Just curious, if you want to go and never visit it, why don't you just delete your account? That way you'd not have to worry about retroactive hacks, and you aren't bound by Facebook TOS anymore.
