I see: SK_(t) = H(SK_(t-1)), where SK_(t) is the secret key for day t. This seems to align with the statement that knowing the key for one day (i.e. once it is uploaded following diagnosis) allows one to derive all future keys. Is there ano

I think you did find something imminently attractive about US life: said great job. Do not underplay the fact that many of your peers (a) wouldn't even look for "a great job in the US", and (b) wouldn't move for it if on

Apple does hide most of this, but consider that an iPhone app isn't the BLE product most developers are building, rather it is the device that iPhone app talks to, and where the bugs lurk. (Not that Apple doesn't have its fare sha

It isn't even the API vendors' fault necessarily. Compared to HTTP/TCP/IP, abstractions between layers of the BLE stack are extremely leaky. Examples: indicating choice of PHY coding and channels in the equivalent of a `

Spend large amounts of money on bespoke design firms and a giant celebrity "launch" with every imaginable feature all at once, instead of starting small, building a product people use, and iterating? Does not sound like the startu

You can protect pages on most flash devices (e.g. internal microcontroller storage). Lock the bootloader and factory reset image, so you can still update the running firmware, but also have a way to recover from any scenario with a hardware

That's already modeled, both in the exponentially increasing food requirements for growth (growing from 10 to 11 is much harder than 1 to 2, for nearly the same benefit), as well as the housing cap and amenities mechanics in the latest

Aren't the hair strands and fingerprints you leave on public surfaces also public, just like any part of your private property that happens to be visible from the street?

"Virtuous" and "vicious" cycles both refer to positive feedback, and differ only in value judgement they imply, so arguably the value judgement is the entire point of using these terms. I can't think of a common use

This is also just a cosmetic, view level implementation in Explorer (complete with a bug, also in Explorer). In fact, the fix was to use kernel fs functions directly.

Some of the fault for this lies with client libraries. Many, including popular ones[1], either don't provide a way to get the body of error responses at all, or make it particularly cumbersome to do so. For example, success bodies migh

Unfortunately, I found Windows command-line interop isn't as useful as I had hoped. You can start Windows executables, but you can't kill them: ctrl-c gets you your shell back, but the executable is still running in the background
