To avoid the difficulties with reflections, maybe triangulation with drones up in the air could give at least an area where the sound originates from.

An individually negotiated agreement that fulfills all the legal requirements of a contract is a valid way to ensure enforceability. But just repeating a part in many contracts is enough to make a court say that it is not individually neg

One can simply start an openssh-server on localhost with some unused port for testing. There is no need for the internet, other computers or let alone other computers from somebody else over the internet for that.

Do you have any evidence why cancer shouldn't taste good?

Thanks for the video! I often painted what one has to do with their vocal tract to illustrate how to create a certain sound, and I also use a finger in the mouth to show people how to pronounce the 'ch' in the german 'Ich&#x2

I use a gpg smartcard to log into SSH. That way I don't need a password (technically, the smartcards reader wants the PIN, but the computer sees no PIN) and the key can't be stolen easily.

It is not about learning everything by doing it yourself from scratch. Hosting a service yourself on your own server is becoming simpler and simpler by the day. Capable hardware is cheaply available in the form of single board computers and

I managed to ask someone who lived in Sweden. They said it is pronounced as an alveolar, short trill.

The site doesn't play sound for me, not even with activated JS, cookies and DOM storage.

I was not trolling in any way. I'm dumbfounded. Why would you think I were trolling?

Is the ‘r’ in ‘fri’ in Danish and Swedish pronounced as a trill (Russian ‘Ру́сский’), tap (Spanish ‘pero’), or an approximative (English ‘red’)? Is it dental, alveolar (Spanish ‘pero’) or postalveolar (Hanover-German ‘Rachen’)?

My experience is that there is a lot of toxicity on the internet, but also outside of it. I'm disappointed by how toxic, money-obsessed, and ignorant many people are. On the internet, all that is concentrated and delivered straight to

Clicking a checkbox is no legally binding agreement. Parts in a contract can be void even if agreed by both sides.

EULAs are not generally enforceable nor legally binding at least in Europe. I personally have acknowledgment in a legal dispute that parts of even a signed contract were void and invalid because they were considered an EULA (AGB).

That's what hardware-backed crypto protects against. Passwords on their own is a bad security practice. A tiny dedicated computer like Tomu[0] that fits into your computer, that provides authentication (and similar cryptographic functi

Why? I mean, what could ever go wrong with storing highly sensitive credentials, form data, and usage history in the same app that automatically and promiscuously downloads and executes code from the internet?

Imagine a subject only sociopaths are willing to take. I see good reasons why the society might want to change the framework so that even non-sociopaths take that subject. Now, neither men nor women are sociopaths, but they are different. T

Why do people let keys lie around on storage? A smartcard is dirt cheap and comes even including reader in all shapes and sizes. There are no excuses.

I think Qubes' approach should be the default. There is no valid reason for so many permissions by default. The current default for example on Debian is crazy! Any user can read the home directory of any other user by default! If someb

Thanks for pointing this exmple out. Now, I'm also confident that graphics are doable in integer arithmetic. Anybody any ideas where IEEE-754 is mandatory to achieve acceptable performance in individual computing workloads?

by madez 9y ago
That is a very interesting question. Sometimes a solution to a problem using IEEE-754-arithmetic can be rewritten to use integer arithmetic. Now, what are the problems where IEEE-754-arithmetic is used now, and in what cases it cannot be re

In Recital 43, the GDPR adds a presumption that consent is not freely given if there is “a clear imbalance between the data subject and the controller, in particular where the controller is a public authority.” Importantly, a controller may

I would love to mirror OSM including all the data, the rendering and the website. Is there a way to do that? I can get the data[0], but is there some guide or container image that includes all the rest that is needed in a working condition?

by madez 9y ago
That is very soon illegal in the EU thanks to the GDPR, and it is already in some countries like Germany.
