These seem to be terribly vague, e.g.: 16. Always do the right thing. Some of these I either misunderstand or contradict each other, e.g.: 1. Be nice. 8. When you need a bad guy/gal, you're it.

As far as (3) is concerned, I'd say that it's more important to actually have an "I might be wrong and would want to change my beliefs in that case" attitude and just be honest. It's terribly easy to notice when som

The author fails to note the difference in the ease of access to information. Some time ago, if I wanted to e.g. find out what is the half life of some medication in blood, I'd be lucky to find that in encyclopaedia and would probably

Actually, FLAC doesn't have a very good compression ratio (e.g. see [1]). It does have features that are very important for audio streams: it can be quickly resynced and AFAIK decompression proceeds at nearly-constant speed. [1] https

The most common example of such logic is multiplying by maybe-zero (transforming a=b into ac=bc) and factoring out a possibly-zero factor (transforming ac!=bc into a!=b).

As long as your steps are implications in the reverse direction (from the later to the earlier statement) this is perfectly correct. In most cases I've seen people do that the transformations are actually equivalences, which muddies th

There is a Chrome extension that does something like that: https://github.com/google/end-to-end Obligatory warning: it's in an alpha state according to the readme, so you shouldn't use it yet for real.

I wonder if it is possible to fingerprint USB keyboards of same make (with same dummy serial number) to tell them apart. For example one could try to exploit frequency deviations of the crystal oscillator in the keyboard.

A difference between the two is that LSTM has a constant amount of memory, defined at training time. In this model, the stacks can grow arbitrarily large. Also, using a finite state machine and two stacks one can simulate any Turing machine

I mean the hatch in the middle of Unity's floor. It appears to have space on the other side and is closed. They do show living quarters in Node 2 -- there is even a video of the interior.

It's interesting to see some differences between the US-and-everyone-else and Russian part. One that was most striking to me is cabling and piping between modules: on the Russian side, the pipes go through the hatches, which complicate

Why? This is one of the most cacheable resources. Also, it's displayed reasonably often, so I'd expect it to be rarely evicted from the device-local cache.

In that case updating a container to a new version would require everyone to change the container ID they are using. This introduces friction that either causes people not to update, or to develop wrappers that do something similar to this.

When I share a password between two services, they get the plaintext password when I authenticate, so the first one can impersonate me in front of the second one. How does this apply to keys?

Would you be more comfortable using none than using a "random one in the trunk"? I do not really see how a carseat can cause additional harm in an accident.

It seems to me that mounting everything user-writable as noexec should be very similar to what you want. That said, it will not prevent a user from executing arbitrary code, but will make it much more complicated than "download this bu
