Unfortunately, it isn't reliable and DDG is much more willing than Google to say "I've got nothing". I default to DDG but often it is this type of situation (searching for error messages) where Google works when DDG did

IMO, their Human Effect Matrix is the worst part of the site and often misleading, although the list of studies it links to relating to a particular aspect is sometimes helpful. The long description with references is helpful. I often go

I was going to say that this one (which sounds like a not that short loop) and the "fold4, wrap5" (which just sounds like a horrible short loop to me) didn't give me the same illusion, but then I listed to the one in the Wiki

The color of the brown is also not the same: in addition to the several pixel transition area which depends on the stripe color there are slightly red, green, and blue tinted patches in the rest of the brown that differ based on the stripe

Most of the time I can't visualize either while awake but sometimes I can and my dreaming is almost always in color (I've had dreams where part of it turned grayscale and that was quite distinctive). I also over decades of sleep

Note that this doesn't actually work in all situations. I have a non-24 hour circadian rhythm and severe insomnia and for a long time I could only sleep on the shifting schedule, even with very little sleep for as long as I could mana

I generally agree with the idea of the GPL but the thing I would encourage everyone to consider is: are you really going to enforce it when someone doesn't comply? If not, consider just adding a sentence (or more) to the top of the MI

A proper EEG for use in sleep studies is available on ebay (last time I looked, maybe six months to a year ago) for $1000 for a USB model or $1500 for one with a battery (might require a prescription). There are also ongoing costs, since t

I've used it for toothpaste for years, in a sprayer (actually an old Dr. Bronner's hand sanitizer sprayer, though I would not recommend that product as it is quite strongly scented). It needs to be very diluted (even a drop of fu

Also the unscented is sometimes placed in the baby section (at least Whole Foods does this) that makes it even harder to notice that there are two with blue labels. Also the peppermint goes on sale much more often than any of the others. I

I don't know about the others but NetBSD has had an even stronger focus on compatability, with some people still running an old binary from NetBSD 0.9 (released in 1993). The one major exception was that the first threading implementa

Second preimage mostly, which is harder than collision with most common algorithms (even MD5 might still be secure for this, not that anyone should use it for anything at this point). Collision resistance is only important if someone can c

You are correct that there is no such single hash; there can't be without it being longer, because then the parts could be brute forced separately. However, a second hash of 10% of the file would work fine. You can even truncate it if

I wouldn't make any bets about what the US would do, sadly. I get the sense that the DUP and most people pushing for no deal actively want to tear up the Good Friday agreement (and blame the EU, even if that makes no sense). I think t

There is a different (and shorter) excerpt from his book on Rolling Stone that is also quite good: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/iraq... It notes the recent issue with Venezuela coverage

It seems to me that the author is arguing: 1) it is important to maintain perspective vs other types of security and to remember that security is never the end goal, 2) security is a wholistic thing that is reinforced in a variety of ways a

IMO, the title isn't really helpful anyway. I did a userChrome.css thing a while back to make it just show favicons in the tab bar with one or two pixels of space and it works great. The tabs don't jump around when you switch ta

No, I mean reject it as it is being sent (see SMTP protocol). As far as I know, all mail servers can do this except possibly qmail. qmail's out of band error messages used to be a big source of spam, although I haven't seen them

Where is the evidence that this is true? It doesn't seem that likely to me that so few people are not using gmail-style spam filtering that spammers couldn't figure out how to target those of us who aren't (the filtering tha

Why spam folder or delete rather than reject? IMO, such messages should always be rejected so that the sender can see that they aren't delivered. The usual explanation for spam folders or deletion is to prevent spammers from finding

In many states it is possible to get an absentee ballot for any reason, which allows the same coersion potential but without the convenience of full vote by mail. Forcing voting in person also has a large effect on who actually votes (due

I think because either yorco.com is a valid domain and fails SPF or it isn't a valid domain and allowing it lets anyone send mail from yorco.com. I don't understand why failing SPF doesn't reject the message in a way the sen
