Why not a person rating system - OkCupid for friends? Pump in your interests, get matched, and peer review the experience. Tongue only partially in cheek.

It's pretty cool, but why didn't they just do it on Twitch? A little chat window would be wonderful - not just for memes, but for discussion and understanding.

The game itself sounds almost exactly like the new version of Outrun, or perhaps Afterburner Climax. Good news!

I'm a DBA who wants to make the occasional simple web-app, mostly for a small number of internal users at my company. This looks great! Thank you :)

Sorry - your response doesn't cut it. The ETSA and the J-1 infrastructure obviously can talk - how else would the border agent know to arrest you? If it can talk, then why doesn't it tell you that you're breaking the law, if

Is there a guide for using any of these algorithms with a trivial online (i.e. real time) dataset?

I'm a victorian (UniMelb) who has moved to Sydney fairly recently. What are the good meetups in Sydney for recent CompSci graduates?

Go and play Metal Slug 3, and tell me that was done on a 12MHz processor with a straight face - what they did with this thing was magic.

Ok - but that's the only protest? An open version would satisfy all the requirements? Syncthing.net, or even plain old Bittorrent should do (especially if it's one static file per 500GB).

You've got a trusted central authority here (the Archive itself), so why deal with some coin guff if you don't have to?

The challenges have been solved already. The article talks about splitting it into 42k 500GB chunks. BitTorrent Sync will happily deal with 500GB, and open trackers are available that can report the counts of users in a swarm. To complete i

Does anyone have a link to the chart described at the bottom of the article?

A working link, for I ~think~ the same piece: https://www.defcon.org/images/defcon-21/dc-21-presentations/...

I think it just hashes whatever it is, and transmits a minimum of BTC to that hashed address on the blockchain. You can do this yourself for free with any bitcoin client. Subsequently, that transaction is encoded into the blockchain forever

A roaming clearing house is an organisation that manages the billing between carriers in roaming agreements. These clearing houses exchange data in a common format (bytes per session) between telcos. It's almost certain that AT&T u

Fair call on MS, but this allows for free downloading of datasets from public URLs. Surely that's more expensive than downloading from the other cloud platforms, given that you've got a (probably?) higher likelihood of USA-based h

Great usability, but it only integrates happily with other Microsoft cloud services. You can't read from BigQuery or Amazon RDS, for example - only the Microsoft equivalents. It's a deeply disappointing decision, and already rules

The article alludes to one core bastion of economics - "the invisible hand", without mentioning another - "as humans, we are creatures of infinite wants". With that in mind, a computer can never truly replace a human, as

That chart assumes 24 hours days. The reality of (my?) productivity is that I have perhaps six productive hours in a day. If I can save eight productive hours per month, that's sixteen days a year, not four.

Is this the same as the primary key hashmap thing that Teradata has been doing for many moons? Seems so. If not, why? Trying to break down the mumbo jumbo in database product releases is a nightmare - it took me a couple of days with SAP HA

Works out smoother for who? The candidate? Hardly. You've short-changed them after you've wasted their time. Works out smoother for you? I think you're losing a great chance to build networks and keep potentially great resou

I have a lot of legal concerns! Is this going to get me sued by my existing customers, whose details I would be sharing? Can you perhaps explain why this would be legal?

It's my humble role in life to stand in front of a manager and tell them that their tech idea is garbage. For $10M a year, you could buy a hundred of me. I think the real problem is that they're not investing their own money, and

442 lines of code for a "Hello World". Is that a new record? The comments aren't even particularly verbose.

Just as a note, Cloudflare is not alone in struggling with this. I'm very surprised that the status quo has been maintained for so long. I suggest that Cloudflare should look under the process of transit becoming 'Declared',

Firstly, it sounds like you have a very solid grounding in programming. Why not expand your mind? Take some economics, law or statistics subjects, and you may find a personal interest and niche at the intersection of the two fields. The cla
