One could argue that even paper is not completely safe, especially if you bought a book from Banksy (but that's starting to get absurd). If we eliminate the Banksy absurdity, I believe that there is some value to the argument: it&#x2

Wait, what? I see "Tyler Ward", not "Benson Leung". Unless you're telling me they are one and the same.

Then aren’t those services/products partly to blame? There should be very few legitimate reasons to leave those things unsecured, no?

I have never setup Elasticsearch or Kibana mysslf, but is the setup process secure-by-default ? i.e. generate a random password or key by default, and then you have to go out of your way to unsecure it?

It shouldn’t be a problem if Latin was made into an official language, just not the official language.

I really wish there’s an official 64-bit build of Raspbian to go with it.

Are there good resources for DIY amps for stereo speakers? Are those much harder/more dangerous to build than headphone amps? I have a pair of KEF Q100 bookshelf speakers that are still collecting dust.

More excuse for Hi-Fi enthusiasts to install acoustic panels: "Honey, have you seen that article on HN? I'm installing these for our privacy."

So I was still thinking about this question while taking a shower. Did the researchers come to that conclusion by analyzing food stuff that was still lodged in the jaws? Oops, upon rereading, I just spotted “isotope analysis”. How different

One thing I’m curious about is how the researchers even tell that the hybrid is a bottom dweller. They have only seen the skull, not what was inside the hybrid’s stomach. Can some biologist shed some light here?

From a pragmatic/utilitarian point of view, eating whole sharks is maybe much less cruel and much less wasteful than eating shark fins. After all, you can only eat so many whole sharks.

Actually, it might make the attack faster, especially if the spread is across multiple memory channels or controllers?

A bit pedantic, but it’s actually not just Linux. They also have OpenBSD, for instance. It just so happens that there seem to be overwhelming many more Linux distros than other general purpose operating systems in the world.

Can we fix the industry by collectively saying no to nonsense/irrelevant interview questions?

There is no concept of “zone” with the Octopus card. Basically anybody who lives in HK has an Octopus card. Its use is very much entrenched. It’s more convenient than any other “modern” payment method you can think of, including Apple Pay,

I used to be on Efnet and DALnet and ETG servers a lot in the 90s and 00s for anime. Now I’m on Freenode all the time for #python, #django, #ubuntu, #debian, etc. It’s a good place to ask quick questions. But even more importantly, I use

If the script file is meant to be sourced only, then a shebang is bad style as it gives the wrong hints to human readers.

I guess one reason it’s not already been done is because of physics. You can capture the flared gas and convert it to electricity on site, but you still need to be able to deliver it to the consumers for it to be valuable. But electrical po

Curiosity killed the cat. But you can't stop curiosity. I wonder how many such phishing e-mails a company gets a day. If the volume is not that high and it's something manageable by the (proper) security team, I wonder if a compan

Is intake into that discharge channel controlled? Flash flooding is a thing. In Hong Kong, the Drainage Services Department puts up warnings and runs TV ads to tell people to stay clear of discharge channels, lest they get swept away by fla

Out of curiosity: do you draft on paper or do you go straight to the text editor?

An (interesting, but impractical) solution to this problem would be to use astronomy to deduce the current date first, which should be good enough to validate the certificate. See this QA on Astronomy StackExchange: https://astro

I haven’t really followed JCP and Yahoo, but who actually made the decision “to keep their companies in markets in which they could not make money”? Was it the CEO or the board of directors? If it was the board that made the decision, the
