You can add it to a bookmark/favourites, then just tapping on it from the favourites page will work as expected. It works pretty well in Safari.

This is my most useful bookmark, I use it everywhere (it's even practical on an iphone) So many sites have a top banner that disappears as you scroll down a page, but as soon as you scroll upwards even a little bit, it pops up again. T

Thank you! This would be a much better link than the github repo. There are so many project READMEs out there that never bother to explain what the code is or does, it's frustrating.

That’s like saying “A mask can’t hide your face, because someone might see you while you’re putting the mask on”. I mean, it’s strictly true that you can always screw up or miss out on a critical step in any task, but your line of reasoning

If it's not anonymous, would you care to show where the coins originated from, please?

Well the coins came from the tornado cash mixer, so it is pretty anonymous. ... and also possibly illegal to handle, if the recipient is in the US?

None of these proposed bans or guidelines seem specific to cars, so why are they being narrowly targetted at them? Bans on bait-and-switch, fraudulent fees, junk fees, and requiring upfront disclosure of costs and conditions should apply to

If you join a staking pool, then by definition you are increasing the centralization of the network.

If this is such a serious problem, please demonstrate at least one example in Google Books where a scan shows the wrong letter or number. That really can’t be hard to do, since there are lots of common books in GB, there are even OCRs avail

The page is also quite vague about how the attacker got these 1900 phone numbers. It seems to imply that they were just the ones around when the attacker got access. But it doesn’t actually state that clearly. Were they 1900 random number

How many times has SGX been broken now? When (if ever) could a reasonable person think "ok, now they must have got rid of all the vulnerabilities, time to trust this!" ? ...and then Intel will add another new architectural feature

Don't victim blame. Do you really think that using open(), stat(), lstat() (!), realpath(), mkdir(), rename() etc etc etc is a sign of a bad coder? The problem is that the APIs set you up for unexpected failure, and even some of the pr

Symlinks work as intended, but they cause a lot of unintended security vulnerabilities, i.e. they break lots of otherwise-functioning code. You can play with your words and redefine their meanings, but the vulnerabilities remain.

You've missed step 0 (and earlier): how did you trustlessly obtain the bitcoin in the first place? Your options aren't good here: a) Buy it on an exchange: You need to trust that the exchange won't just run off with/sell

If the email is compromised, the hacker can just go to the front page in their own browser and generate a fresh login email, so there's no extra protection in client-side browser secrets.

Older 'practical' special effects still hold up better than much more recent early CGI though. Even if you can tell that something is a physical model, IMO it still looks 100x better than a poorly rendered and animated low-poly 3d

When you phrase it like that, it does feel like the quoted energy figure is too low - after all, lighting that tiny a stream of gasoline isn't going to illuminate the sky anywhere as bright as a lightning bolt. Perhaps the 'nickel

Lightning-powered bitcoin mining is obviously the next big thing for green energy! Now you need a double helping of luck - first that you get struck by lightning, and second that your miner guesses the right hash to make a block. But maybe

I don't follow your single dots argument? There's no right or left, one dot = low? Plus, as the OP says, irons use the exact same dot count, so nothing else is needed.
