It's not a math problem, it's a human problem. suppose you have a partner who is a 'petite' woman of 34. She enjoys posting nudies on a website, but without her face in that picture. Someone who collects child porn downl

The safest way to have him dead is to have him commit suicide. No need for blood or a gun and a trail.

I would really hope there are better journalists then the ones you describe here. If things are fishy and they smell, but you don't have proof, why not just say that? It's not that hard. There used to be a time when journalists ha

And open chat protiocols won't help because we don't have open source smartphones :) Maybe this battle is on different fronts and there are many factors that are into play. In the EU there is a law in preparation that will force b

Different crowds probably. Not sure what the aim of cheating is, probably going from a rating of 1500 to 2000 and the status that it brings. In the end you still win 50% of the games, just against higher rated players. Playing against a GM

This is my experience too with a private server, but I did need SPF, DKIM and Dmarc. These 3 things do require some expertise, but running a mail server already requires that. So it just needs extra time :)

For all my important photos I use par files. Using command-line tools like par2create and par2repair is simply part of the routine of storing photos from the camera on the NAS. I also use it for music files, in the past too many mp3s got br

I can imagine the leverage is 20 years of refining their technology. Sure, other companies could have invested in developing the technology in the last 5 years, and start selling or using it in 2019, but I assume it takes a lot of refinemen

The most simple way to test accessibility is to only use a keyboard. Use tab ir shift-tab to switch between elements. Tab only browses through links and form elements. Use enter to follow links or buttons. Simple things like 'outline&#

So, what is the alternative for PayPal? I sell only small-time. I don't want to do Creditcard, no Stripe either (I don't have a registered company) and iDEAL is only working in the Netherlands. So what is the internet alternative

I don't understand what's special about it. Another strange thing, the city nearby wasn't even mentioned and I had no clue where it even was, Nijkerk or Harderwijk. Apparently it's near Harderwijk and I even passed it by

It has a very different architecture from what web developers are used to. It has an event driven architecture, somewhat like C. During the process of running the code on a HTTP request, there are multiple hooks (actions and filters) that g

As far as I know WP-CLI also handles serialized data correctly. By the way, I very much prefer the wpmigrate-db plugin.

And yet I am using a Linux Phone since 2014 as a daily driver :) And no, it is not for everyone, just like the Linux desktop. It would need a company like Nokia to put its weight behind it to bring it that far. But if a smaller company like

I had to laugh about him using a micro-emacs that has been unmaintained for 25 years :) Apparently the other emacsen are not to his taste, so we can expect something soon :)

You could get shadow-banned. If the ratio men:women is 4:1, they might prefer to have the top 50% of men get all the good leads and the bottom 50% of men talk to mostly bots or employees. It might make the website more interesting for women

Oh, just wow for that simplicity. Yes, people are one-dimensional, or something. Really, dating is not like ELO-rating, do they really not think people can better be categorised in certain ways of thinking, instead of a one-dimensional ELO-

And in the case of chess books, an advertorial is quite different from a good review. I very much enjoy reading a good review on a chess book, with all the good things and bad things. With an advertorial the language is quite different and

Third party cookies are already on the way out, allthough it is going very slowly. But if that is already happening, I see no reason to replace it with something that is going to stay and is only slightly better. Being patient is easier and

Could the difficulty be around the duopoly? We mostly have laws about monopolies, there can be some push-back against monopolies, but with a duopoly everything "seems" right. I see so many discussions on the internet, also on HN,

It took 2 or 3 years for the Pinebook Pro to appear after the original Pinebook. I can imagine a phone is a lot harder to manufacture and support in software. I would be open to buying a Pinebook Pro, if I needed a laptop now. I will just w

And a Sony Xperia with Sailfish OS? Or is it not FOSS enough? That might be. I bought mine second hand and spent the same amount as a Pinephone would be.

Sure. I use Whisperfish on Sailfish OS for Signal conversations. I hear the developer is quite positive about the support he gets from Signal about getting it up to speed. There was that famous blog post, I think in 2016, where they said th
