Well, shit. I mean, I've been buying burner phones when crossing to the US since several years ago, just because I do am afraid of getting mugged and losing everything while traveling, and since every trip to the US has been for vacati

How would the border agents know it's a wiped device? Because it's missing everything and seems like a new phone? What if I actually bought a new cheap phone because I'm afraid of getting robbed abroad, and even tell the agen

Aha! I knew someone probably tried this already.

Since Conway's Life is Turing Complete (IIRC), it would be theoretically possible for someone to write a compiler for it, no? This seems obviously very hard, but since this seems to be catching up, how long until someone decides it&#x2

Really? Wow. Do you have some links for this? I did not know that and I'm not sure why would you get jail time for that. I mean, what is the rationale? Is it about somehow preventing transfer from a legal market to an unregulated one?

Lately I've been thinking... however improbable this is, what if we are the first intelligent species in the Universe? I mean, not saying that because I think we are special, but just wondering what would it mean if we were "the f

Aha! My script blocker was preventing the button from showing up. I though I was going mad... Thanks!

This is really cool! However... I might be a bit obtuse or something, but how can I produce my own videos? Maybe I'm overlooking a link?

I agree that it should help reduce the amount of mistakes. But I still believe auto-pilot mode is a real thing (and a danger!) . My point is that I'm not sure if it's even possible to design one that actually cuts errors to 0. And

Not sure if even that would work. I've almost deleted my heroku production server even though you need to type (or copy paste....ahem...) the full server name (e.g. thawing-temple-23345). I think the reason was that because in my mind

Well, it says in the article: "Once operational Crew Dragon missions are underway for NASA, SpaceX will launch the private mission on a journey to circumnavigate the moon and return to Earth." I don't know why people are argu

I know this is probably an obvious advice here on HN, but one of the things that I feel has given me sense of purpose (and in turn motivation thanks to that) was starting my own company. Now, of course that might not be suitable for you rig

great! seems like a nice tool to have in the toolbox :)

This seems like working on a similar space as loopback.io, is this correct? if not, how would you compare the two? I ask because I'm currently using LB for a project and while I actually like it a lot I always like to be aware of alter

Then that would require a breakthrough in FHE no? I believe current implementations would be way too slow for this. Or is there another way to outsource computation in a secure manner?

Ah. I misunderstood then I think. It makes more sense that way actually.

I would guess that just getting a random problem to solve might not be appealing to all devs. On the other hand, maybe some people are having problems that may have already a close-enough solution so that why would I want to build yet anoth

Ahhh... the memories. In the 90s I met this guy in IRC that used Delphi 2 to program a RAT called Hacker's Paradise. He was very kind with me (I was much younger than him apparently) and shared the source code so I could learn from it

Excellent, thanks!

So, if I understand this correctly, I'll get emails with problems that people are having, so that presumably I'll be able to decide if I can build some solutions for them. Is this right? Kind of like "hey!, I sure can make an

I read somewhere (erowid perhaps?) that a dissociatives are very dangerous precisely because it's very hard to tell which things are real.and which aren't so people get hurt trying to escape from these very real images. Scary as f

Are there any guidelines on how often you should be doing restore tests? It probably depends on the criticality of the data, but if you test say every 2 week, you can still fall in the OPs case, right? At what size/criticality should y

Well yeah, I agree. I didn't mean to say I wouldn't ever donate or use my (imaginary) millions to save lives as well. I was just daydreaming about something that I would like to do if I could. In that sense I would also like to do

Sometimes I dream that if I ever become very wealthy (either because of something I created or because I won the lottery) I would go around and donate some nice money to these under-appreciated developers/organizations/projects. I

WOW.... that's some brass courage right there. And to think there are so many of them buried around. It's just heart-breaking.

That demo is insane. Is there some kind of archive that is keeping track of them? It would be sad if they were to be lost in time.

Oracle actually has a product called Big Data Appliance (and has been for a couple of years IIRC), that offers Cloudera-based clusters. They also offer that as a cloud service so you don't have to actually own the hardware. Not sure ho

Aha. Awesome! thanks for the answers everyone. This looks very interesting. However... I guess the "don't roll your own cryptography" still applies for this? I mean, I know better than trying to "design" my own algo
