That's got nothing to do with ether. A simple hash of the code is just as effective (or ineffective) at proving the program is the same. Unfortunately, in reality you quickly run into problems with different compiler versions, optimisa

Surely the implication is that when you 'burn whatever is behind that UserID' you would delete the records of who DeletedUser4510 was friends with (and who was friends with DeletedUser4510). If all you do is rename someone to De

I don't know too much about the tech, but live sport has been encrypted for several years now. Here's an anecdote about one sport in particular - UK horse racing. There's a pay TV channel (Racing UK) that broadcasts races liv

Support for gRPC was introduced in NGINX Open Source 1.13.10 (I assume this means it's supported out of the box, but have never tried it myself)

See the text I cited from the card association’s website. Merchants are only responsible for fraud (in the U.K. at least) if they did not use chip + PIN properly. Who pays for fraud, in the end? Well, the customers pay, of course, since the

For all the words, I still don’t get your point. The banks introduced an improved system that we can all agree is more secure than the old one, and consumer protection did not change , but apparently you think this makes it worse for the

by joosters 9y ago
Again, I can't see how anything changed. You have a card and you needed a PIN to use it, before and after the chip was added. Smartly dressed bank officials were around in both times. In either situation/time period, banks would c

From http://www.theukcardsassociation.org.uk/faqs/ : With chip and PIN, who is liable for card fraud? Consumers remain fully protected from the cost of card fraud and are covered under The Lending Code. From 1 Janua

by joosters 9y ago
I can't see how that can be true. Prior to chip+pin, you could still withdraw money from an ATM with a card+pin, so how exactly did the security change? In both cases, you can dispute transactions with the banks, and in both cases, the

That's just because the browser doesn't handle unicode well. The 'text-only', 'VGA' and 'textmode' are actually irrelevant. The behaviour you are seeing is down to programmer choice/laziness&#x2F

With most corporate email systems, I'm pretty sure you can't hard delete any message. Sure, it may no longer show up in your inbox but it won't be vanishing off of the compliance logs.

Me too! I cannot recommend this enough. IMO everyone should have this bookmark (or similar). As you say, it's most useful for removing static overlays that just get in the way of page content and take up screen space, but it can also g

You can’t seriously write an article extolling the virtues of inodes as a way of locating files, without pointing out a very clear weakness: the inode of a file can easily change when an application saves a new version of it! Most apps don’

You will still hit the same problems they described for some sites. Because some JS has been blocked by your blocker, certain websites will have buttons that just don't work. This is frustrating when those buttons are key things like &

An actual ping would be more impressive :) Perhaps to be less wasteful, the HTTP request should be a HEAD instead of GET? There’s little point downloading a whole page if you are going to just throw away the contents...

But it wasn’t irrational to pay a high price for something that was generally considered valuable, and for which the next person might pay even more. What? That's no way to 'disprove' a bubble. Of course the people buying s

Presumably because others could now sue Google for the same reasons, and they would be even more likely to win given the Getty result.
