I have studied Mechanical Engineering as well, and I, on the other hand see plenty of opportunities to use things taught in ME in real life. Might be as simple as "How safe is this plank for me to walk on" (bending moment) to &quo

They absolutely are. But in normal conversation when you speak to people about this, they'll most probably say "Wow, that's pretty smart man, I wouldn't have thought of using a pipe as a sound carrier" (or something

Not to take away the intelligence of people but a hacker is someone who excels in situations as this - Limited time, limited resources/cheapness to spend money, Have objects X, Need functions Y. That takes a hacker. Everything else i

I agree with this. Something like <first><lastname>.<tld>/social or /card and have that page list all your fb, g+, linkedin twitter links. Bonus, you get a permanent email address that NO ONE can take away from y

This might just be a thought exercise, but I remember reading somewhere that 100 miles from the borders and 50mile radius at all port of entries the Amendments do not apply. Also, these explicitly state 'persons' not citizens or r

- Out of curiosity, who's your current registrar? - I don't know if you're talking about a ccTLD or a com/net/org but if it's the latter I don't think a non-US registrar can help you since those TLDs are d

>switching email providers I kind of agree with you here. Especially if it's tied to your identification personally. If you have an X@gmail.com or Y@yahoo.com then you're essentially at their mercy. But if you just buy a domain

So, I'm a bit confused. Are registers SRAM? Or are they faster than SRAM?

But American exceptionalism is a real thing. Well atleast today I don't think it stands for "Well, America is awesome" but more on the lines of "Where in the world will I find 300 million people having roughly similar cu

More like "Citizen Revocation Program". Wouldn't want citizenship reduced and people earning and paying taxes to other countries.

My probability theory is a bit weak so correct me if I'm wrong. Since each company you start is an "independent event" doesn't your probability still stay at 6e-5?

You're saying that my assumption is "Majority of the fat people are fat because of intake of food and not because of actual health problems." In this context, yes, that is exactly what my Bayesian priors (so to say) assume bu

I agree that it is bad to be cruel because it does not gain us anything other than bad karma here. I do not think we should call a fattie as a fattie because it's better to not say anything at all if you can't say anything nice. O

I think I didn't make myself clear in my previous comment (which I've edited btw). It's not about THIS article or THAT article or anything. It's just that I've found when you (not you you, but the general you) foc

I've noticed this general tendency to focus on the edge cases to make the rules. This is how we end up with crazy security theatre instead of real security and pointlessly drifting away from the topic. He is sharing his experience whic

This raises another interesting question. Will there be a population explosion in Switzerland in the medium term?

I agree with you. I was just informing the parent poster how differently cryptographers see the world as compared to us normal people. Although, in some respects, I do get where they're coming from. New algorithms and computing paradig

Does it really help? I'm assuming they'd be running SELinux. Autoplay isn't going to really help when they've specified the format as well. If you gave them a rar, tar.gz, zip or anything, the Man can hold you for contem

There is one thing that could never happen. Something that's mathematically perfect fits that criteria - the One Time Pad. Even at actual infinite available time frames i.e. you travelling at the speed of light, with quantum computer

It's not a big deal though. They subsequently specifically asked him to put it on a CD in PEM format and deliver it by 5 that day or be faced $5000 fine per day or something like that.

I'd be careful if I were you. Cryptography and cryptographers are an odd bunch. "Never" literally means never, while in your comment "never" means not in our life times, or a thousand, or billions of years. In case

What's the probability that the customer is unaware that this is a "membership" email rather a monthly email sent because you signed up and bought once? It's not uncommon for Newegg or Amazon to send you emails.

Regarding your reference link [1], I just noticed another devious strategy. At the bottom of the page, the "I accept the terms of" is in black for higher visibility while the "JustFab VIP membership program" is in pink.

I don't get that argument either. My main case for the eraser-nub-mouse is that I don't have to physically move my finger over and over again. It goes like this, put finger in one corner, drag finger, reach end of touch surface, l

And the spacebar key, when hit, sounds different than the other keys. I'm not good with onomatopoeia but normal keys generally go tack-tack-tack while the spacebar goes tchick-tchick-tchick. It's noticeably different. This could a

On a tangentially related note, it took me a while to make the connection that HALT on x86 is 0xF4 -> Alt+F4 = close in Windows.
