> Not a noise standard, which would make sense. A speed limit. Is enforcing a perceived noise, or even a measured decibel limit on the ground even realistic? It would be difficult to investigate reported infractions unless they're c

CloudFlare's Universal SSL certificates used to be shared between multiple unrelated accounts by SAN stuffing, so back then they definitely wouldn't have given out the private key. I think this may have changed since I last saw a

A push button normally closed momentary switch would be pretty slick too. Also it would probably be best to put it on the ground wire. Car radios will have at least two power wires, one for constant power (which keeps the clock set, and fav

I took up bouldering around 2 years ago, despite my fear of heights. I've managed it by sticking exclusively to gyms, and staying well within my limits. What also helps is the gym I started at had a safety orientation that all climbers

They mention Cellebrite because they share specific stats on how much data they can copy off a device in a given time. It's essentially used as a source for the end of the paragraph where they explain why it matters that CBP had their

Is the electric mini cheaper than the standard 3 door hatch? The only price points I'm seeing are £16195 for petrol [1] and £24400 after UK incentives for the BEV [2]. [1]: https://www.mini.co.uk/en_GB/home/ran

I was going to mention that the one that has broken earth's orbit is the wrong vehicle and is not a first generation Tesla Roadster, but then I realised the repair woes are likely to be even worse for second generation Roadster owners.

I would love to know what they classify as a daily active user. My expectation would be someone who sends or receives a message, but I would never have expected the numbers to be so high. Maybe they're counting everyone who signs into

Wood gas is mainly hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Even a small leak into the passenger compartment could be deadly, especially if it was filtered well enough to be odourless and the occupants don't notice quickly.

I actually agree that it's a situation that's unrelated to whether the retailer is selling licenses or copies of the book, which is what my original comment is about. I do think that Amazon could have handled the situation better

The argument is that if you are buying a licence, the retailer is obligated to tell you you're buying a licence. Current advertising, shopping, and checkout flows instead communicate that you are buying an eBook.

It doesn't make sense to me that eBook retailers can claim they're selling licences to view books, instead of the books themselves. If I were to look for 1984 for a kindle, I'd: 1. Search Amazon for "1984 George Orwell&q

Deviant Ollam does another talk with elevator consultant Howard Payne just about elevator security which is fantastic. It's very similar to this one, but goes deeper into the single subject. There are a few versions on YouTube of vario

It's quite incompetent and negligent to put network connectors on servers that cause spectacular failures when exposed to a network. This isn't a fair assessment of the situation. Networks that aren't entirely trusted and c

I'm not going to comment on moral or legal responsibilities of bookies and gambling companies, because I am uneducated on both subjects, but I found your use of the term "collect more juice" really interesting. It seems odd t

My mind jumped to Canada when I read the above comment, but really there are a number of countries that fit the mould. Most western countries have a special levy on blank media, including all EU member states except Luxembourg. I don't
