What's the difference then?

Ive never understood how such a system is profitable. Surely it costs them money to provide streamig service. How is it that they are able to sell it for free? Perhaps it is provided as a loss leader?

Basically, net neutrality prevents ISPs from using a form of price discrimination to sell a lesser internet, where certain sites are blocked or throttled, or where certain sites have to increase service charges to pay back costs imposed on

That's privacy (ie google collects your data), not security (some random hacker collects your data).

In assembly, you don't have to worry about pesky optimizations speeding up your code at all. A similar effect can be achieved in C by not manually enabling optimizations.

Another hypothesis I've heard that would explain the same effect is that youtube groups uploaders with the preferences of their viewers. If someone has lots of viewers who also watch videos of undesirable topics, that uploader will be

IIRC EME is sandboxed, so you can't really expect any vulnerabilities in it to be exploitable. This is equivalent to complaining that sites you can visit can run arbitrary javascript. Security researchers neednt investigate the DRM its

C isn't hard. C is easy, in fact. This is the main impetus behind its popularity: people liked it, in part because it was easy. Security is hard in c, in part because c tries to make things easy for the developer at the detriment if

>"you are now directly responsible for the code you write, if the company is sued because of a bug you caused, we're suing you" You're implying HN doesn't want this. If companies pin liability on the engineers, e

GDPR seems to be particular to europe. It might be better to say it differs between countries, rather than companies.

In a similar rhetorical style: If SVN is a terrible application with no merits to large developers like MS, why did it exist in the first place? If the features SVN brings over git are not considered detrimental by Torvalds, why did he crea

For someone who dislikes smalltalk, the ideal is for their conversational partner to maintain the discussion until a topic that interests them is brought up. Between two people, this is perhaps insolvent, but with a larger group, some of wh

This is in general an unsolvable problem, and the only possible security is through obscurity. Images are on a spectrum, and so in order to hash an image, you must quantize the spectrum. Between two images, there is a continuum of mixed ima

This is a very neat concept. One problem I see is that having privacy pass installed instantly lowers your privacy, as it marks you as one of a small set of users with that extension. Combine that with IP address, and you could potentially

If you use plain AES ECB, then little penguins will show up in your encrypted data. You would want to use a disk encryption scheme, like XTS, where the encryption is not just based on the data of the block, but also on the index of the bloc

I've used it in the past to prerender components on a secondary canvas, before combining them together on the main canvas. There might be a better way of doing this though.

There are a billion people in china, I have a hard time imagining that none of them contribute to polution for their own ends.

Perhaps in such a case the government should apply eminent domain to the land. This ensures that the previous owners are duly compensated, and guarantees its continued availability as a park.

Only for non-inertial reference frames. If the station were rotating, it would therefore be accelerating, and you would be able to feel it.

You rebind caps lock at the window manager level, not at the vim level. This disables it completely. This is actually a good idea whether or not you use it for escape. Hitting caps lock by mistake while in normal mode will make nearly every

>You get safe programming for “free” in Rust. Not really. Rust will tell you your program is unsafe at compile time, whereas c will tell you at runtime. The major difference is that c sometimes won't tell you about an unsafe program

I was under the impression that Zuckerberg had children. How then can calling him impotent be anything but metaphorical? In any case, this is clearly not harassment for a very simple reason: it is not directed at Zuckerberg. Even were Zucke

It means merely that there were very few people laying claim to a very large piece of land. That they were killed by disease means that they weren't killed intentionally in order to take the land. Property rights don't actually ex

Facebook could do the same thing if they wanted. Have the default be heavily censored, have option to disable aspects of it as the user desires. I presume they don't because they don't consider it a catch 22. Having people cry cen

Why should the option to do more complicated things be taken away? If some behaviour is needed and preferable for the vast majority of users, then of course this should be default - but why, oh why, must their not be an option, hidden beh
