Why would anyone use this? As I understand it's not even supported to do hot code reloads on the target when developing? Is it really only a way do package the Elixir app with a Linux distro and a template config that includes a couple

Feels fair that it's happening to companies that hand over our data to third parties. Anything that can open the general public's eyes to how much data is leaked through these kind of practices is a good thing. Hope it amounts to

There must be at least 99% of the users that have phone number contacts only, because dealing with usernames is a hassle to begin with. And why not store username-only contacts in the phones normal address book to begin with? Why force this

As far as I know they have an even broader definition of corona deaths in Sweden. My point is more that statistics is hard. You tried to debunk someones "dodgy" statistics with your own numbers that can be twisted to be even more

During the last four influenza seasons the average deaths was 685 and the worst season was 2017−2018 when a bit more than 1100 people died. Source: https://www.socialstyrelsen.se/globalassets/sharepoint-dokum...

"Scared people are bad consumers" People in Sweden are not scared compared to what they are in the UK for example. It's the rest of the world that is scared for the Swedes.

New York State have a population closer to 20,000,000. I'm not saying Giesecke is right, but he could possibly be much more right than the official WHO number. I don't think you can compare the death count from place to place that

How do you come to that conclusion? He literally said he would _continue_ to shake hands, so why is it unlikely that he contained it from shaking hands? The point is also that if you continue to shake hands it doesn't make sense to be

As someone that doesn't do much frontend I was pleasantly surprised by Vue after playing with it last weekend. The only thing that confused me is that the Vue community talks about Vue 3 as it's already been released, but I couldn

Yes, sorry I was unclear about that. I knew multiple parts of it, but not what position the segments would go into. I had also mixed the passphrase up with another old obsolete one, so I had too many of these segments (back then I broke up

I agree with you, but I actually used the brute force for data recovery. I had a NAS with a 22 characters passphrase that I had up and running for years and eventually forgot the password to. When I set it up I practiced the password enough

And how about they inform us what availability zone is affected instead of just writing "single availability zone" 10 times.

The Yubikey requires a password by default to use the ssh key stored on it and it will lock itself after 3 failed attempts. So I don’t think your caveat is valid. I rather have my encryption key on hardware design to keep anyone who finds i

You can enable u2f in Firefox if you go to about:config and toggle the security.webauth.u2f property. Been using it for a couple of months and it's working great.

Why is the court letting Microsoft handle these cases? I understand it's convenient if Microsoft is the one detecting the domains and handing the case over to a court. But shouldt't these crimes be investigated by proper police?

Not all of them where impersonating Microsoft domains. Still can't understand how Microsoft managed to take these domains down if they weren't hosted by Microsoft in the first place.

It's not a ISP vs Cloudflare issue though, the ISP will know where you are connecting to anyway... This is such a toxic decision by Mozilla, but I'm not surprised since they have been leaking customer data to other companies (Goog

Your answer doesn't make sense. A US citizen does not get GDPR rights from a US company even if they use a EU VPN by your two rules, so I'm not sure why your conclusion is "yes"? Side note: GDPR applies to all EU citizen

I wasted so much time and energy on implementing U2F for a web application, writing server side lib and making the javascript framework compatible with the horrible js-hack that's available for U2F support. It was all in vein; the brow

I actually don’t think so. That would be a form of collective punishment which is strictly forbidden and the officers was really careful about not crossing that line. Was a bit chocking for me to learn that, I feel like American movies have

My grandfather told me on his first day in the military he had to stand (without any hearing protection) next to the anti-aircraft cannons when they opened fire to “train” the ears. He did not have much hearing left when he was older...

Yes, modern soldiers wear “comtac” hearing protection with integrated microphones that pick up speech but block out the noise. So you can still communicate decent by shouting even though there is heavy fire going on around you.

No, you do NOT remove security systems when trying out an untested system. If anything you should add MORE. Again, the stock auto break systems rarely engage unless there is real danger. By that I mean last second breaking, absolute last se
