Anyone remember this? A drawing of a seven-legged spider mailed as payment for overdue utility bills. https://27bslash6.com/overdue.html

Sorry, wouldn't that simply constitute security by obscurity?

Sorry, might be a dumb question, but isn't this simply a matter of encrypting your packets or using a VPN?

Hi, Norwegian here, so English is my second language. Sorry no. If there are other-language comments, I just skip them. The reason is UX and time. If you're too lazy to run your other-language comment through Google Trans or similar, t

Welcome to democracy! As a minority opinion you will naturally not be able to force the majority to accept yours. If you did, that would be authoritarian and evil... You're still allowed to voice that opinion, however (within very

What has that got to do with the political system in the USA? You have every opportunity of changing how American prisons are organized by participating in the political system. Nobody will jail you for having an opinion about it, or campai

Can you please expand upon how the American political system isn't free in any way that matters materially?

by kebman 4y ago
No it doesn't. Except for cancel culture (which isn't state run btw), you can say and think almost whatever you like in the USA so long as it isn't prejudiced or harassing. You are also not punished for starting other parties

This is correct and supported by statistical findings within Political Science.

Whatever it needs to do becomes different based on how your country is governed. China has unelected* leaders that at least in theory holds only Communist ideals. While flawed, in a republic at least you get to vote for your leaders, and th

I once spoofed my buddies with a pop-up that asked: "Are you an idiot?" Then they are prompted to answer "Yes" or "No." Whenever the mouse pointer hovers over "No," it immediately switched to "Ye

Crucially the tree is in Sweden and not Norway xD

by kebman 4y ago
Just to be clear, the tree is found in Dalarna in Sweden, though this is indeed East of Trysil in Norway. Since Sciencenorway.no (!) is a Norwegian outlet, they need to at least attempt to make their articles relevant for Norway. The outlet

Copyright shouldn't be a consideration for the press. Not when dealing with newsworthy items, anyway. When it comes to public resources and government, I see no reason to not just link the real thing. Instead I see outlets like Vox p

It's perhaps a bit on the side but still part of the topic of search. Have you noticed how newspapers systematically do not supply a clear source for their articles? It's especially prevalent on political cases where there are e

Slightly reminiscent of old school demo scene stuff. Or perhaps like a static version of WinAMP? I want more scrollers to greet peeps in trippy space tunnels! xD Digression about the Atari demo scene: Amazingly they still keep cranking them

As far as I know there's a lot of cooperation between the Nordic weather institutes to make their predictions work better. Certainly one example are the weather radars which seem to be standardized and connected in the Nordics.

by kebman 4y ago
I prefer the weather radar for that. Actual clouds and the live direction they're going in is a great predictor of rain. In fact I'd love to improve lightning detection by making a script that also takes into account wind directio

My four year old cousin speaks English fluently. It's even a little eery to listen to, since she's got an all-Norwegian family and they've never lived abroad. It's of course due to screen time with various English series

They have a lot of cool stuff. For instance I made this small script to instantly detect nearby lightning strikes without having to look at their map.[1] I use it to alert me when I need to turn off sensitive equipment. Caveat: It only work

Thinking about what was possible to make in 1982, it's pretty amazing. It's an absolute classic, up there with the best of the noirs (the actual film noirs), such as The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity and The Third Man; the logi

Got a lockpicking set from a friend, and was ... hooked ... ever since. Apparently it's pretty normal among tech / IT types.

You are correct. And the only money in El Salvador is Bitcoin.

by kebman 4y ago
You're implying that the IMF actually cares about Bitcoin. They don't.
178.
by kebman 4y ago
Your argument defeats itself because there obviously is a demand for Bitcoin that is large enough to prompt entire countries to adopt it as legal tender. As such it obviously has value. What traders disagree about is how high that value

Everyone discussing the GUI, and none of them the tons of options that goes into PEM and DER files. For some obscure reason I decided that I needed to go into the hex coding of those, but eventually I just scrapped it and said "F IT! I

I guess several videos and images of it isn't convincing then? But yeah, you're right, if Trump mentioned it, then they were obviously just made up.
