For sure, I take it they're able to start making new flavors again upon meeting the guidelines? Seems like it'll just force people to outsource manufacturing to somewhere like Molecule or just fold, which is a shame. It's bee

Yeah, I'd agree on the markup part for sure. From my experience the quality difference between "premium" and cheap juice is small but noticeable. These days I only buy juicse with flavors that are tough to work with, coffee a

it's crazy how expensive some juices are, especially when a lot are pretty simple flavor profiles with lots of sweeteners and colorings added in. once i found some diy recipes that i enjoyed, i made a pair of 120ml, and the cost saving

The "reputable EMS companies" part was an important qualifier. But, as the guy I originally replied to demonstrates, counterfeit risk is a lot higher. I order parts for my projects from Digi-Key.

Counterfeit component risk and bad security for an assembled IoT device are two separate issues. Sourcing components on Amazon in the first place is ludicrous to me, to be honest, and I'd be shocked if any reputable EMS companies do it

Don't know, hence the question. It seems murkier than data vs. infrastructure. The one article I've read so far on the subject doesn't say much [1]. The Cyber Act of War Act of 2016 is apparently working its way through Congr

Agreed, I'm uncomfortable with the Russia allegations barring irrefutable evidence, and I haven't seen that yet. Even assuming they did do it, I'm unsure what the correct response would be. And I can definitely see incentives

Given the saber rattling going on between the US and Russia at the moment, it would seem to matter very much. Blaming the Russians gives them more room to deflect without acknowledging content of the leaks.

It all depends on how you look at the overarching conflict, I suppose. To me, the privacy debate is like a cold war that's been raging for at least a decade, that began turning hot around the time of the collateral murder leaks and def

From my understanding, one of the tricky bits of biometrics as passwords in general is that you can't really change them. What happens when the future's equivalent of an ATM skimmer scans your iris? Could also lead to increased vi

Yeah, they just step around due process and use parallel construction to throw people in jail who they couldn't actually prosecute. That makes the destruction of our privacy ok, I guess.
