This is a state university for what it's worth. I doubt they haven't already run it by lawyers.

I'm in university right now and our housing contract has a clause stating: "The University reserves the right to repossess student rooms and residence hall facilities in the event of an epidemic or other emergency as defined by th

Thank you for bringing up the problems with SIM swapping. You say that your SDK provides "the convenience of only using a phone number but does not have those security drawbacks" - can you explain how you do that? In particular, i

Wait, how does this even work? You can just walk in with any regular credit card and they can read all the information they need to charge you completely over the air? Isn't that a huge security problem?

Good idea. Just did!

The layout for this page is so interesting and useful! Each section divided into little bookmarks, with each bookmark having its own bar denoting how much content is held in it. Never seen anything like it before, and it works great for thi

Not sure OP is the same as the GitHub developer, but I want to applaud whoever took the time to write out this idea in a professional yet understandable manner. I had fun reading the paper. Unfortunately this idea is (mostly) dead in the wa

Most group audio clients allow you to mute individual users to solve this exact problem. A group audio client that doesn't let you mute individual users is therefore inherently bad relative to other competitors in the space.

LabView is really popular in physical engineering circles and it costs over $5,000 per copy.

SaaS sucks until you run a SaaS company, then SaaS is the greatest business strategy since someone decided to sell books on the Internet.

Sure. What questions do you have? I replied to another comment down below explaining why the pricing model is out of my reach, but I'll copy it here too: > I can definitely put down the $25/mo, but if I want to add two people w

I can definitely put down the $25/mo, but if I want to add two people who can help me out that jumps to $75/mo or $900/yr. I'm not at the stage where I can afford to hire employees yet (I'm the only one, and the dri

This is really cool. My one concern is the pricing strategy. I run a really small ridesharing business with sub 500 users, and $25/mo is too steep for me right now. I was extremely excited to start transferring some of my flows over, b

Stop losses are a feature you can use on the platform, but I don't know if they were executed on time if the whole platform was down...

My local bank has a native app as far as I can tell and it regularly takes over 10 seconds to get past the login page. My credit card (Discover) app somehow won an award for best UX in the industry and still takes over 5 seconds to log in

It’s a pressurized tin can. It’s not a rocket. The entire thing could get nuked from orbit and SpaceX would still lose less money cleaning up the radiation than they would if Starship failed - potentially with people on board. They’re at a

Maybe I just haven't been exposed to it, but in my opinion I have pretty good speeds (100 down / 50 up) and still experience stuttering on both ends. I've tried enterprise solutions (like WebEx) at a Fortune 50 with a >1Tb

Hopefully it encourages innovation in the space. 17 years after Skype came out we'd still all rather prefer to be in the same physical room than a laggy, compressed, low quality virtual call.

As someone on here aptly described it, AJAX was a "historic own goal" by Microsoft, who was desperately attempting to separate IE from all other browsers by giving it unique features.

How so? "Watch what they do; not what they say." If your boss says the project is on track but refuses to let anyone take a sick day, you would think there's more to the story too.

In every case you described except for your cell carrier, yes, they can. That is not censorship so much as having the right to choose what gets shown on your platform. Verizon can and does offer TV packages that do not include CNN/Fox

Very much so. It's in the same class of viruses (filoviruses) as Ebola. It can only be handled in BSL-4 labs, but even then, there can be accidents. > The virus can be transmitted by exposure to one species of fruit bats or it can b

Working with viruses entails working with needles, so it's not ridiculous to foresee an event where a shaky hand or muscle memory could fail and cause you to inject yourself. In the case of the Ustinov incident, he was attempting to in

This is not the proper way to discuss safety. Protocols and regulations are responsible, not just people and organizations. When aviation accidents happen, the broader goal of agencies such as the FAA/NTSB is to identify what to change

Thank you for the correction. I do see OP's points. This however does not invalidate the alternative theory that the virus was extracted from a bat in the wild and somehow escaped. I wish there was a way to prove definitively if it esc

Entirely possible! But the main point is that these cases started to show at relatively the same time. That would mean that these 14 people would have all had to have close contact with the seafood market visitors almost immediately after t
