I fail to see how that would "reduce bots and ill-mannered actors".

There is an open Firefox bug about it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1535749 But the last comment raises concerns about privacy implications it may have. So, I think that right now it is unclear whether Firef

I am not sure if seeking a “secondary processor” exclusion qualifies as "abuse". I agree that their products are not as "pure" as advocated by some enthusiasts. But the company itself openly says so and for me that is im

Source? Are you talking about wireless speed or wired speed? I am asking because I have never experienced such a huge limitation caused by the CPU bottleneck. I have performed some simple tests using `iperf` tool on Archer C7 with OpenWrt a

There are a lot of them, but depending on which features you need and where you live, it might be difficult to get one. Take a look e.g. at OpenWrt's list of devices "Ideal for OpenWrt": https://openwrt.org/to

Is such a requirement in YouTube's terms of usage? If yes, YouTube should have notified the affected channels first and ask them to change their settings or leave.

Some people do not have a mobile data plan. Using mobile data in such case would typically be rather expensive. Unexplained mobile data charges, however small, would raise questions.

I do not understand. Even if there was a separate OS running in parallel with Android, how could it access the wireless-networks-based and satellite-based location data? I thought that access to these things is controlled by Android. In oth

I've always wondered what it would be like if you used a dual motor system in a car, where one motor is wound and sized for very high torque and the other motor is wound and sized for very high speed. The dual motor versions (D) of T

You have made some very strong points - thanks for summarizing it together. I would like to ask: What do you think should an ordinary employee do when they see a behavior like you describe from their management? How to efficiently protect t

My past salary is an irrelevant information for my potential future employer. If they ask about it, my response would be: "Why would you like to know it?" Any answer to this question is bad. If they do not bail out and stop asking

I certainly would not. Thanks for pointing that out. Their landing page does not mention it at all. There is a lot of publicly available source code which Kite can scrap and use. Expecting that users will be happily uploading their code int

You did not answer the question. And how exactly can your past employer "make sure" that you do not have another job? I do not get your remark about the references check. If your potential future employer will be interested in ref

I am not clear on one important detail: Is the code being pushed to a public or private GitHub repository? In any case, there are 2 issues: 1. Your employer (the consulting company) does not want to pay you for the work that you have done.

That is just one opinion against another. With little fact to support any side. In your comment, for example, you seem to suppose that those agencies do not buy storage on secondary markets. Can you confirm that? Because if they do, then yo

I am aware that using buckets the way you have described works fine for the cuckoo hashing collision resolution technique. But it would not help to ensure the same kind of locality of memory references as you would get using the linear prob

Why would they do that? The cuckoo hashing is just a collision resolution technique used in open addressing hashing schemes. Having two possible hashes of a key always next to each other (that is what you suggest by using buckets if I under

What is suspicious about this Cook's statement is that he was able to publish it. I believe this kind of government requests is usually made with a strong non-disclosure agreement with severe consequences if disclosed. So, either the c
