You are not automatically a public servant if you are funded by taxes. In my definition that only happens when you start making decision that affect other people. E.g. handle who gets a tax cut, go to jail, or other things that we need to

You can't use device verification in production anyways. (ATM) This has no effect, is it even used in production anywhere? It seems to be part of eIDAS which is a good thing, most countries already have their own identity systems as is

Being such a person that fixes lots of stuff for other people nothing I do is secret but learning to do it seems too hard for most. What I do is try to delegate if I find people that do want to learn. If someone shows me they are good at so

If you use a third party for identification that works out better.

You have four 12 bit values, they are packed into 6 bytes. Camera image formats are different but I am guessing this is probably MIPI RAW12? EDIT: You have the code in the repo. https://github.com/tlambertz/goodix-finge

Hens live in cages the size of a piece of paper (A4/letter), they are kept there for 2 years. Very small percentage of them live in better circumstances. What leaves a bad taste is calling that "humanely hatched". EDIT: Appar

Just bitcoin uses more energy than Finland, the energy sector in Finland makes lots of people rich. Of course people will earn money when people spend that amount of resources on something.

I have switched to smiling at things people do well in traffic and trying to give positive reinforcement when I see people who care about others. Some even do it in ways that might seem stupid, e.g a guy in the wrong side of the street was

You do NOT save passwords in shell history, it is insanely insecure. Lets begin with the passwords being readable by everything that can list tasks. You can protect passwords in a password manager. You do not need to keep the passwords in e

I have stopped caring so I caved in to work policy and got an iPhone, and I really do not see the point. It is just a thing no better or worse than an Android...

IMHO. Apple were the first to make it useful. Because the iPhone was always online and the browser window was limited. Active Desktop aimed for the technological stars and was just buggy and slow as a result, it was cool but too flaky to be

Bad example. Dumping waste cheaply illegally is a trench that is continuously filled with really bad stuff. Regulations needs more Oumph, it is just too cheap to do in an dishonest way.

It is amount of population and how much room is left so you want to continuously kill off soldiers to have a good growth/conquer ratio.

On mobile I go for Coop and try hard to just support other players, by giving troops to the right player. Having good backend players is vital in Coop. Sadly communication and cooperation is very hard.

Not sure if you have some idea on how, but it feels like an unsolved problem to me. E.g. It is easy to theme a data structure, but if the layout matters it can be very hard to theme while also allowing free form edits.

That sentence is garbage for sure but if you read it with good intentions from the journalistic view it almost makes sense. It is about remote sensing from satellites, not about the satellites themselves. There are lots of interesting edge

While funny, naivity to power dynamics is constant. We never know who will rule. I even conservatives are extremely lured by revolution if they have a leader that is more "conservative" than the opposition.

FWIW the decade of capacitor plague destroyed at least two of my AC/DC Converters. I haven't seen magic smoke since 2010, and honestly know little about it.

Of course nationalism and rasism infects science, especially what findings are considered canon in a culture. That only means you might have such findings not that it is the only thing created.

The point is that Linux is not worse it is just different. What you do on Windows or iOS will not be the same as on Linux. How you adapt and if you want to is the point. I am horribly ineffective on Windows even if I am forced to use it. Th

That does not hold up to a Sniff test IMHO. What is this based on, do you have cases that were judged in this way?

I know freedom is a tricky subject in the US. This whole deal with freedom at the border seems like a sticky issue, why should we let border crossings be so unsafe? Is it because I am in a position of power and will probably never be bother

Then again if you look at the continium as something multidimensional. It is easy to make everything either a very specific hetrogenity or a big homogenic pile. The greatest fallacy is the group think, you can always create groups of people

I have done 90 hours weeks when I was younger, I really hope he manages to get some exercise and down time. It is not healthy to work that much even if it escapism from a worse situation.

When you do problems from books, you do them to get faster and to discover edge cases and that is where you learn stuff. Being able to mount a disk image is a good thing to know how to do in security research, but it is not enough. I do not

Some photos are off by at least 100 meters and it is surprising how easy a photo can be off a year so easily. I believe it happens because the easy timestamp is at the time of development, means you can easily be two years off. Also surpris
