Why didn't you just make Django models for the PHP MySQL tables?

Wanted to know more about the tools they use for maintaining and scanning, but I guess many of them are internal and not open source?

Even if all of Bitcoin uses renewables, that's demand for renewable energy that drives prices up, which will lead other energy consumers to either pay more or pick less expensive non-renewable energy sources instead.

It should raise questions such as "am I living in a bad neighborhood" or "am I living in a city with more crime than the average" with added caveats such as "just this year", before you jump to asking "is

I don't know the article you're talking about and I haven't looked up violent crime statistics for Sweden - but a couple of anecdotes from you and your friends does not necessarily mean that violent crime across the country i

They still want to keep their reputation good (in the eyes of potential advertisers) if/when they want to add it in the future.

Most likely because "me too" or "any update on this?" type comments are extremely common.

I find it weird that this statement came from the judge, while the representative(s) of the airport disagreed: "While this incident remains under investigation, we have been able to determine that this gentleman did not pose a security

I think the definition of "imaginary friend" might be messing up statistics here? As a kid I definitely made up friends in my mind, but only as a way to make myself seem better in front of other people. Other than that, is talking

What gives you the impression the author doesn't also make things?

Almost as if crypto is mostly about investment speculation and gambling, and not so much about actually useful assets.

Kind of want to agree, but you're comparing the extremes on both sides. The truth is somewhere in-between, and consider that for mainstream products like WhatsApp or Windows or whatever, the general public never deal with actual sale

Eh, it's not like "the nerds" can build a better product in terms of UX anyway, and definitely can't market it better. Besides, who says "the nerds" are trustworthy anyway? They keep arguing among each other ab

Following the e-mail analogy: Inevitably, there will be contacts of yours who didn't get or read your notification, or contacts of yours who aren't in your contacts list.

If you want people to be privacy minded this is what you have to prepare them for, though. Signal could get bought out by a privacy-hostile company next year, or they could go out of business.

This has never happened to me, probably because I don't install the Facebook app and don't give Messenger Lite access to my contacts. If Facebook and Whatsapp were sharing phone numbers or metadata behind the scenes I would expect

If you read this literally, you could get away with leaking state secrets as long as you're visiting a relative while doing it. Github cannot be expected to reliably differentiate between the coworker who just checked the status of a P

Probably just the company wanting to push out some engineering blog content, and very unfortunate phrasing in the blogpost itself. If they'd framed it as "let's learn how Signal's encryption works" there would not h

There's a big difference between something that's possible with some effort (i.e. compile the Linux kernel from source, compare the binaries with what ships with your distro), and it doesn't need to be you personally that doe

> Signal keeps its database encrypted using SqlScipher, so reading it requires a key. We found that acquiring the key requires reading a value from the shared preferences file and decrypting it using a key called “AndroidSecretKey”, whic

What point are you trying to make?

I'm not sure it's that simple. One of the things in my process list is "Service Host: Server". That's so generic I can't even properly google it. One of the answers I found was "A server is an application

How did you know that XorNot replied to your previous comment? Notifications, addictive design and gamification are really bad practices that we should try to avoid - but the underlying drug of social media is that someone noticed and react

If you don't want to use pyenv (I think it's a mess), just look into compiling Python yourself, using a prefix like ~/.local/share/python-$version

Eh, most messengers use phone number as the primary identifier these days. Whether I use Telegram, Signal or WhatsApp, I add people using their phone number. In the last 3 years or so I can think of one exception where someone preferred Dis

This is going to be a really shallow answer but all the existing solutions are horribly engineered. Even relative newcomers like SaltStack and Ansible are a horrible mess of inconsistent behavior and spaghetti code. There's nothing spe

I agree that would be honest, but I also think it's less effective.

Yeah - thanks!

In comparison with conspiracy theories, populism, outrage culture, and people getting their news from facebook, I'm pretty sure this is a drop in the ocean when it comes to distrust of scientists. Also, let's assume the facts are

I can't find a source right now but I remember reading that people were more likely to wear a mask if they think it protects themselves rather than those around you, so there's some humanitarian value in pushing that narrative eve
