I realize this is a joke, but just wanted to add that Rogoway is a consistently great and thorough writer on defense subjects. I've been reading his stuff since the Foxtrot Alpha days.

Probably they're assuming a business which is profitable enough for them to extend credit isn't going to mess around too much with how they conduct said business, in order to save a few hundred dollars

The important question here is what are your average monthly sales? (e.g. what is the expected term and thus APR of the loan?)

This circles back to the anonymity issue though.. what level of authentication is required to obtain said card? Can I stand there and blatantly collect 20 cards under different names? How does the bank know I'm not a terrorist which th

What I've come to realize over the past couple years (as my taxes got considerably more complex) is that what's lost with the 'autonomous IRS' is essentially the ability to self-declare your expenditures based on their p

Perhaps worth noting, there are certainly telescopes of this scale in space--they're just radio telescopes, where the reflector can conveniently be unfurled after launch. You can glance at this thread [0] for comparison of commercial a

Some tips: Note that many free credit monitoring services exist, and most credit cards nowadays have this feature available. These qualify you for the $125 payout. Up to 10 hours effort ($250) can be claimed without documentation, for time

Cool concept, though solid sheets of silica aerogel are very difficult to manufacture.. I wonder how well this concept holds up with leakage between panels, or using the 'gravel' version of aerogel? Also having handled aerogel in

This reminds me of the time I was trying to explain to the Verizon store rep why I was concerned that my SIM suddenly went offline, and they told me "Oh hun, nobody steals a phone number!"

Likewise, it was not fun when my phone with GA suprise died. Many services with 2FA do not provide backup codes. I switched over to Authy for this reason--they allow an encrypted backup of the TOTP secrets.

I would be less skeptical if they weren't selling jewelry. It's a shame because the responses given here on HN seem well thought out, yet the site gave me the impression of making a quick buck on peridot necklaces. I mean, is that

Yeah I agree. Instead of learning a new language subset, I just use what's already there. For me, the go-to for multi-line calculations is Octave. At that point I can annotate to my hearts desire, plus I've always preferred Octave

Does federation play nicely with serverless architectures? Seems like a small group or club wouldn't rack up enough traffic to really justify dedicated hardware and upgraded connection. The pay-as-you-go serverless setups seem well sui

Technically balloons use "balloon gas", which is essentially helium thats not pure enough for industrial applications. So I doubt a few hundred of these make a meaningful dent.

Having a small business that works in defense, I can tell you the upper tiers of military recognize and are worried about diverse production and innovation. But, there's an issue called the "Frozen Middle", where the middle m

Refraction is a linear effect. This is nonlinear because two waves enter the gas at f1 and leave at f2 (the photon momentarily energizes an electron in the gas, which collapses and releases a photon at another frequency)

Very interesting. To clarify, 60deg phase offset or azimuth (e.g. converging at a single point)? Now I really want to plug this into an EM simulator

Applied to microwaves in particular, modulating wave properties is how we transfer data. New ways to pack more bits per Hz are always useful.
