You don't need to read a 200-page ToS or live in a libertarian utopia to know what data they have access to and to assume they'll abuse it. A few quick examples: Don't use Facebook - it's basically a tool for turning any

Is leakedsource actually gone? https://leakedsource.ru seems to be up and running - or is it different people? I mean, I sort of hate both these and prefer to just download raw data dumps straight from their source. But maybe th

So where are we realistically with ray tracing? What kind of performance can be expected with modern GPUs?

Seriously hope those guys have a business model. Love that site for keeping everything from important political tweets to ripping paywalled articles...

Not to mention it's also common to include "we can change the terms at any time" - and of course, there's also the fact that this issue in specific has nothing to do with a ToS violation, but with permissions on the pare

Even if they have great infrastructure, this article is evidence that they can still take you down at any given moment if they so much as feel like it. You need those database backups.

I really want to learn and use Rust, but just lack the motivation, especially when APIs turn out to be incomplete - I think the last one I saw was multicast not allowing me to set the send interface. I guess the main draw for me to any give

That's a really interesting idea, but can you imagine how incredibly annoying it would be if there were any level of latency? Seems like even a few 10s of milliseconds of latency would make that rather horrible. Especially considering

The worst part is that they only need to succeed once - if the laws are changed it will become exponentially harder to change them back. So they have every motivation to keep dumping resources at this.

There's a difference between the page for a pirated movie and the front page of TPB. Where things really get interesting is info hashes. I could right now post a 160 bit SHA1 hash of any content on the bittorrent DHT and you could obta

If the link were directly to specific pirated content perhaps, but it's not, it's to the homepage.

Even if I get banned from returning, if it's a high value item I can get a friend to do the return or even pay someone if needed. I'm yet to have shopped anywhere that requires ID for a return too though, but even if that changes,

Yikes, that's pretty horrific. I think I'll be paying with cash at these places from now on.

Interesting - I don't have the strongest math background so I'm usually somewhat intimidated by topics like this, but this makes it seem like a fairly simple weighted average based on squared error values like in standard deviatio

Yeah, especially since weechat with its custom relay protocol replaces the bouncer and has a great mobile client too.

I too would like a clear answer to this, I've made numerous attempts to learn vim and emacs and can find my way around in both, but I never broke my habit of the old school CUA keybindings and arrow keys so always found myself gravitat

Great service - combine with restic for secure and cheap backups with automatic deletion. I went from only affording to backup the most important files with Tarsnap to just backing up / with B2. It's the difference between $1&#x2

Yeah, the trick in my opinion is to find a good enough book or guide on new features with which you can skim and familiarize yourself. If you don't understand when you might apply something, go figure that part out. Then work on a proj

If they are fully compatible it means community updates can work better too - not needing to worry about the HAL as much. Yes, Google might need to take one more step of saying "and we ship the security updates" before the average

by piracykills 9y ago
Yeah, the only hope we've got is to move to a more Windows-style driver model, which is what Treble attempts to do, abstracting the HAL from the kernel and application software. This is already shipping in Android O and new devices on

by piracykills 9y ago
Eh, that might be true today, but I doubt we'll see flagships shipping with Nougat still by the end of the year. I certainly won't be buying any like that primarily for this reason. OEMs will catch up sooner or later. It's a

I don't think that's really valid here - you're asking them for an opinion of their job, not their opinion of you. What they think of their job has nothing to do with how I'll rate them. Heck, I may rate them higher or t

Of course it won't stop trade completely, but it could tank the price and cause interest to drop off as that's significantly higher effort than "sign up here, use your credit card or bank account directly".

It definitely won't make cryptocurrencies worthless, but it could tank their value if they start chasing exchanges and adding burdens to new customers on exchanges. If regulations like this start popping up in many countries it could l

For sure you should - but if you're incentivized to find such a thing, what's to say you won't leave some drugs hidden in their basement yourself? If the pay off was high enough, especially with young, generally low wage empl

Wow, that's pretty crazy - ~5% bonds for conservative and ~7-8% for aggressive would have been more appropriate in my opinion. And I feel even those numbers may be a little optimistic. Currently it's more like "what if you ha
