:) I don't come across a lot of ppl that know that one. Googler? Fan/user Anyway, yeah, I've actually had that thought in the back of my head. I've actually reloaded this laptop 3 times due to the exact situation you men

So uh, maybe they can explain why the DisplayPort USB-C adapter for the Chromebook Pixel only works in one orientation? Yes, that's right. You heard me. You have to flip it over 50% of the time to get the screen to come on. (This might

I had the same memory as you, but after looking it up an hour ago, I'm willing to write that one off as a bit conspiracy-theorist. It seemed like it was in the context of upgrading their systems to track this sort of stuff. Of course,

[on-topic, but somewhat identifying comment removed] I didn't realize I was actually properly unhellbanned. I prefer the echo. :/

This is literally months old and has been completely superceded by an actual release . OP's article: June 2015. From the same blog, 4 days ago: Announcement of a alpha-ish release of the thing the OP's post talks about http:&#x2

Don't you need SecureBoot to start the process of the measured boot?

um, cross origin blocking has been a thing for... like a really really long time now.

I almost want to login to my non-throwaway/hellbanned account just to laugh at this notion. The times I've been most curious. Most engrossed in a piece of new tech has been when I'm high. Some night, I will go home from a 9-1

It worse than that, the misunderstanding that is. I live and breathe Linux. But Powershell is so far ahead of bash for text and object manipulation, it's not really even a close call.

Pressing 'y' on github will cause "master" to be expanded to the current hash so that the link becomes a perma-link to that line of that commit, rather than that line of whatever-is-the-latest commit.

I uh, I do understand what you're saying. My empathy is overflowing, and I've seen friends that have gone from timid to "over confident" in order to find more success in dating... so I can understand that a million thoug

Sorry, I wasn't taking it personally. I was having a meta discussion about how we were talking about it more than anything. I don't think we have a problem with each other. :) >I claimed that this is far worse than normal behav

It's very amusing and ironic to me that you are completely projecting the air of "generalization". I didn't see the author anywhere saying "All bitcoin users are like this" and in fact, you'll find me chid

I find basically none of your assumptions to be accurate, or more importantly, I don't understand how it is useful to assert as a broad generalization. Certainly here in this thread. It's just frustrating, I'm clearly outspok

(I was intentionally generalizing to make a point, nothing more, I don't want to speak for any groups of people in general!) edit: To those that apparently don't grok, I explicitly wrote "Of course not" in the post, poin

>I imagine the average Bitcoin user as more a fedora-toting internet troll than a crypto-enthusiast. Well, at least you disclosed that you're just projecting that image onto strangers you don't know. I can make up reasonable so

As I'm reading, all I can think "Are you even remotely serious? We now can't have a discussion about gender without rfnslyr derailing the conversation, this time because he wants to harken back to early pioneer days?" Yo

Easier said than done. I've been "out" for years and despite being opinionated and a "proud" person, I still find it extremely hard to put my neck out there and call others out (and interesting, it's much easie

Where do people get off thinking they have the right to touch others, especially repeatedly, unreciprocated? So many of these tech, gender, sex issues would be pre-empted so many times if people simply respected some basic boundaries, were

Nothing, but there are more paranoid and more easily implemented systems that you could use instead if you want easy, but air-gapped backups.

So: - make backups - encrypt data - use a password manager The holy trifecta of things that people hear about and refuse to do. And then come and preach to others when they realize that "Doh, should have listened to that troll on HN&qu
