Probably GP meant they fucked up by downplaying the danger's of COVID and doing the least possible to keep the hospitals from overflowing. Where, instead, they should have done more to prevent people from getting COVID.

As I understand a 'core-dump' is not just a stack trace, but also contains some of the arguments passed in the functions in the stack-trace. Those can easily contain sensitive information. Especially if the heap is also included.

Putting the type first would be weird in languages that do type inference. Because there you sometimes leave out the type info, but need to add it occasionally. Then it makes sense to append it, rather than pre-pend.

Laws are not cash machines for those that write them. Laws are an attempt at solving coordination problems. They will arise in any 'state of nature' because the downsides of not solving coordination problems are so incredibly obvi

This feature is only applied to some videos, and it is clearly meant to make it harder to use a browser to download a video. Obviously not encryption, but arguably an 'anti-copying measure'.

It's not just base-64. The 'url' of the next chunk of data is encoded in the data of the previous chunk. (As opposed to just doing a chunked transfer of a bigger file). This feature is only in place for some videos, mostly mu

Fair use applies to neither acquisition or utilization. It applies to publication. Copyright only starts to matter when you (re)-publish a work.

I wish for a DB that lets me write a completely normalized scheme, and then lets me specify how it should denormalize the scheme for actual storage. There is no reason manual updates to denormalized DBs need to be hand-rolled every time. Th

Steam turbines are actually quite a bad method, because pure heat is a difficult energy source. It's just also a very available energy source. The 90% efficiency quoted in the comments is 90% of theoretical maximum efficiency. This the

I thought that the ads on search were a nice to have, but that the real value of search was the profile it allows google to build about a person, which is then used by all ad systems used by google. Split that off, and search is all of a su

How could search survive? The business value of search is in providing data for ads, is it not?

The meltdown and spectre mitigations weren't patched in microcode, they were patched by changing the internal calling methods of the kernel.

Sublimation will thin out the wire, which weakens it. But the final failure mode is the fillament breaking. This can happen due to the wire getting so thin it melts. But the thermal stress of power cycling can also cause the thinned out wir

I recently retro-fitted my portable table-saw with a soft-start. The process is quite easy, though the soft-starter you use has to be picked for a certain power-draw. And they might be specific to the type of load (i.e. specific to a univer

Just because the phoebe cartel did not limit bulb lifetime (purely) as planned obsolescence, does not mean that there is no planned obsolescence in the world currently. It just means the concept is not as old as some people think.

The video cited above explicitly claims that the thinner wires (that last less long) are indeed more efficient. He backs it up with real experiments, and addresses the common claims that the Phoebus only did this to sell more products. Spec

The reason I want to avoid Hue is not so much because of network security, but because of simplicity. I've seen a whole lot of packet parsing and RF stuff. I want none of that to be required for my lamp to turn on when I flip a switch.

Further discussion on that closed issue is no longer possible right? So any new information that might cause a re-evaluation needs to be presented in a new issue. The new information here seems to be 'most people thought the previous d

Why the focus on vertical screen space? I find I am rarely looking at the top and bottom of my viewport at the same time. The only advantage I see is being able to tile more files onto my screen. Perhaps I am too used to having to scroll, a

I presume typing style matters aswell. How quickly you reach each key, rythm, how hard you tend to hit a specific key. My sense is that they profile the person more than the keyboard.

Might be cool to do this on domains found on certifacte transparency logs, rather than doing it on domains found on e-mail. Lets encrypt seems to issue about 3M certificates a day, so about 100 million a month. Which seems to be one order o

I myself have also learned a lot from this. But I also see people doing it whilst they feel more pressure and less space to ask for help. That can lead to a non helpful state of a very quick shallow search for solutions. Anything complicate
