That is why you try not to bind any important accounts to anything remotely fishy. Goes for Google, goes for MS, goes for everything. If you have an important account hard-linked to something very important you are sitting on a ticking bomb

Interesting, thanks for the heads up, this has somehow passed me by. I loved privacytools.io in its prime, I think reputable sources for this kind of information must exist. I'll look into privacyguides.org as a replacement for it.

Same here, the search was horrible and eventually caused me to move away. Using mailbox.org is a much more pleasant experience. Other options: https://www.privacytools.io/privacy-email

Same here in Estonia. Virtually all chains support one of two solutions. First one is scanning items at the checkout area - this does not have any random checks by staff. The second one is with the handheld scanner, where you might get occa

I recently got really frustrated with Firefoxes almost invisibly thin scrollbar. Messed around in about:config and managed to make it fatter, but it made all the scrollbars inside web pages also fatter - not what I wanted at all. I'll

Personally my last two phones have had this. It starts slowly - the cables occasionally don't work, then some cables won't work at all, then no cables work without 2 minutes of gentle manipulation, eventually it becomes almost imp

We won't, not our goal, not what we want. I think it'll fade into a small blip in our past vaguely remembered as "that crazy time when a lot of crypto companies opened offices and we shut them down". - Estonian

You can. def foobar(things: list[tuple[int, Floob | None]]) -> dict[int, int]): Possible since 3.11 I think, maybe even 3.10.

"In Time" (movie) would be the more likely outcome: time-to-live is transferrable currency. But in the real world people already die at a predictable age - we are all statistics.

Interesting, I am in the same boat with the author. Recently have started to dabble more in embedded devices. I am building a well water level sensor. First I tried to use an NRF based board, but I got bogged down with the SDK ecosystem, it

Chrome is an extension of Googles ad empire, it spies in you.

This is probably how it starts. Users leaving for very practical reasons, with others leaving when the posts dry up.

I am also inclined to believe this will be the case. This feature might be sold to sites that want to disable eg. ad blockers. I am a FF user, but the last decade is making me very concerned.

Kurzgesagt: "Why Don't We Shoot Nuclear Waste Into Space?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us2Z-WC9rao Bad idea, it boils down to 1) too much of it (yes really, in an almost definitive sense) 2) exploding roc

50/50 imho. You still change what was there to begin with,and it made you structure your new additions into the one created by the author. Basically if you look at your code evolve in eg. Git commits, you see how it evolves out of the

One interesting thing that this applies to is brute forcing ciphers. Using this you can calculate how many times over oceans _have to_ be boiled before someone can brute force your encryption key. The concept of "Universal Security&quo

Estonia (just south of Finland) just dropped to negative too a week ago. When comparing December and April, the reason it actually costs <0 is that all the solar panels in the country are producing more than we can consume on weekends,

Good analogy. I stopped responding after I understood some easily avoidable risks were totally acceptable to bandrami. That's not how my risk model works, especially when it's usually very easy to not accept such risks at all and

That's not a moat. That's their current situation they achieved by being the first mover. But nothing is stopping someone else from doing a cheaper/better model tomorrow, next year, whenever. I'd jump ship in a few hours

I think it's assumed you throw the bag away as trash. The bag might break and the worm escape. I'm willing to bet the worm can live for some time in the bag.

Technically the MITMer could send your data to the intended server in plaintext, or upload your traffic as a torrent, or something else fun like that.

Knowing who the BDFL is and how a project is run are very important considerations for long term projects. It's not something you can just discard as trivial. Doing an AoC in a language you know nothing about is totally fine, but not i

If HN front page is mostly advertisement then that happens to be the only kind of advertisement I'm interested in. Otherwise I'm served well by uBlock origin, uMatrix and privacy badger - zero "regular" ads.
