Could we have an option of not storing biological materials after processing? Assuming you don't store (notable) digital host data, it seems much safer, in case policy / ownership were to change, a breach happened and/or some

Note that neither backblaze nor godaddy own the domain. BackBlaze has a tranferable lease with renewal rights and godaddy is a middleman. What godaddy did is very wrong, but it's not stealing. More like breach of contract, failure to p

That's partially true. Some turn to ads because they can't afford to host/build the content otherwise, even though they don't like having ads. I think we do desperately need viable widespread micropayments system(s). We

Enforcement is sadly very lacking, possibly swayed by interests, though there is some development on that front. The law itself is surprisingly reasonable and shouldn't be faulted. The "loopholes" are breaking the law, plain

So you're saying the bricks that are close enough to an actual (not teensy) fire will melt/spill/spread? Why is that such a big deal? I mean, yes, it's nowhere near western building codes, and if there is a non-trivial f

I dare you to take a thick PE panel/plate, paint the surface with regular non-flammable interior paint (enough so you can't see through), and then light it with a match or a cigarette. Preferably in a vertical position through the

I'm well aware a sustained fire will melt and burn the bricks. The question is how fast and how easy it is to ignite. Sand has a lot of thermal mass, so with some insulation against surface fires (PE surface is easy to ignite) - say a

The bricks contain polyethylene, but a large part, probably most of it, is sand. Also, it is not foam in enclosed spaces, but a full hard material. A non-flammable coating would perhaps be a layer of plaster or paint? I think you are seriou

I don't think the parent was talking about complicated systems like GPS, that you should probably set up before driving, and yes, they are often a pain, touchscreen or not. A touchscreen is a dangerous interface for the myriad of simpl

Yes, and piecewise TCP is often even faster than point-to-point TCP, especially on flaky connections, or when the transient connections are on hosts with lower RTTs (outgoing gateway closer to destination). It will likely be faster than a U

Why don't people use unix domain sockets for local connections? They are pretty much the same thing as local IP connections, except access rights apply as on files, so you're not exposing connections to pretty much all processes.

Note that it still exposes the connection to all local processes, on both hosts (except network-restricted services or with non-typical host-local firewall rules), though it should be fine, if you're using semi-reasonable passwords. SS

Each allocation also needs an entry in the page table (actually a virtual memory tree). On x86/amd64 the fanout is about 1:512. If you have 8MiB stacks, then a minimally allocated stack uses a 4KiB data page, but also 2MiB of address r

I think it more like 2-4 bytes per instruction[1]. Information density of machine code can be surprisingly high. Of course, density can also be abysmal with current toolchains and practices. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

I seem to recall reports of pilots disabling MCAS because it was acting up. They would disable autotrim or something, not sure it they even heard of MCAS.

DNS could respond with unique IPv6 addresses and echo back on HTTP request. But it's more likely they just use a large set of (sub)domains and measure timing.
