it's fun to try comming up with plausable arguments as to why the ai is dumb. like "they sent off a bunch of settlers as sacrifical lambs to help delay your aggressive expansion/incursion into their sphere of influence"

This is also not true, as if they used bcrypt (a key derivation function) the hash is salted, so even users using common passwords are protected against rainbow (lookup table) attacks. as for brute force, yes attackers now know usernames, s

My own analogy is USA and Thailand. in terms of geopolitical differences, I think the "Protestant work ethic" tradition is a large driver of USA perceptions on work. Conversely in Thailand, the emphasis on hierarchy and workplace

i run PhantomJsCloud, I tried Adwords and found it to also be a total waste of time/money (as mentioned by others here). basic SEO seems to be what works. I should work on more "inbound marketing" content but have a few tec

yup, i thought it was related to the GlobalSign cert issue (since I use a cert from them) but isn't... and here I just purchased a replacement from Comodo. lol

downvoted eh? tough crowd. FYI the google load balancer issue seems to be real, but not related. https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/compute/16020

it looks like this is impacting sites hosted on google cloud using the load-balancer (you upload your cert, and I'm using a globalsign cert). I am getting 502 errors via mobile but via desktop it's fine. anyone else use globalsi

the point isn't about .docx, it's about .odf, the point of which is that any given vendor can't go change it whenever they want.

the questions asked don't strike me as strange, but the corrected answers/explanations by the recruiter are very strange indeed.

for what it's worth, i use torrents regularly, I just don't see this reason to be conductive to the argument. If a title is not available in a region, the copyright holder implicitly doesn't care at all. They care about pira

I didn't downvote, but... well, honestly this is a bit of a strawman, if you consider that most of the internet using public is able to legally view the content in question. That a small percentage of people can't... OK that&#x

I am an INTP, and while a lot do consider Myers-Briggs as glorified Barnum statements, I do consider it somewhat valuable for self-introspection. The main reason I don't think Myers-Briggs can be a true-ism is that each dimension is ac

That's not exactly true. The story that's been floating around for 14 hours is that sales have been put on hold and all units should be recalled. This WSJ article on samsung PERMANENTLY discontinuing sales is a substantially diff

if you think dealing with time is a problem, try measuring elapsed time on computers that sleep :) the solution i found (when dealing with this problem in C# a few years ago) is that you need to poll the time in an update loop (running at,

thank you so much for posting these extra details. My product is hosted on Google Cloud and allows users to arbitrarily craft http requests (including headers!) I try to limit the possibility of abuse (restricting protocol to http, https,

I didn't mean to suggest it being what it isn't. I allow usage patterns similar to what is being described, so it is a vulnerability in something, be it my fault or not.

wow! this is really awesome and perfect for my needs. thanks very much :)

do you know if any similar vulnerability exists with Azure or Google Cloud? edit: not sure why the downvote, I use Google Cloud, so honest question :(

I saw that HN post, it is a very impressive piece of work btw. It also seems like a good fit for the HN / entrepreneur space. Was this intentional? IE did you plan it this way before starting the guide, or was it a marketing plan y

Thank you so much for this. I was wondering about this so much and it really gnawed on me that the article didn't bother explaining further.

that's a very good point, though it would also imply there's something more "big game like" about Ursa than some southern-sky constellation.

Why no section on server-side frameworks? I for one picked Hapi over Express a couple years ago and have been very happy with the switch. I'd love to know what has changed since then!
