The world doesn’t need fucking Bitcoin. This is merely switching one “elite” for a different, equally arbitrary, but likely less qualified “elite”.

Well to be fair, the target audience for this newspaper is stuffy finance types.

No, it is. An x86-64 CPU boots in 16-bit real mode. An explicit option has to be used to switch it to 64-bit long mode. That doesn’t mean that it’s not a 64-bit CPU.

They're not exactly arbiters of critical functions, the government issuing the drivers licence is. This is just an additional convenience feature.

It's a joke site, it generates random excuses for data breaches.

You likely wouldn’t find DIMMs small enough to boot it though. When I tried to prank my boss by replacing the HDD in his machine with one loaded with W95 it would not boot with even 512mb.

Might work on motherboards with a bIOS implementation, there’s often a “legacy” mode that emulates a FD interface making a USB floppy bootable and accessible from Windows Setup. Likely not the case for any UEFI motherboard.

Seeing this headline reminded me of that Lysol TV ad. All sounds like a noble cause until they briefly mention “and partnering with a smart thermometer company”. And bam, there’s your kids data being sucked up by medical company...

A third party running against two polarizing candidates is a pathological case (as are two polarizing candidates alone). IRV gets better when there are more candidates, because they can form alliances and trade preferences. It goes further

Exactly. Toxic two-party politics is a direct result of FPTP voting, not a reason to dismiss IRV Preferential voting, including IRV, effects change to toxic politics by encouraging a greater number parties, and encouraging them to work toge

Face print and fingerprint are definitely #2, something you have. Both can be easily copied. #3 would be your DNA sequence perhaps. Similarly, SMS authentication is not #2. The mapping of your phone number to your phone is not something you

Wasn’t referring to terminal compatibility as much as the “stuff that doesn’t necessarily do what it says it does”. A big portion of most configure.sh scripts is logic that doesn’t just check for something, but that it can be trusted to do

That kind of user-hostile bullshit is why I avoid anything and everything associated with Google. Still use search, but trying to break that habit.

Reminds me of the story about the NSA contractor who had pirated Office on their laptop, and when Kaspersky AV predictably collected a sample of the virus-infected keygen to its servers, the US tried to spin it as "Russian data exfiltr

I have been recruited as a page-turner more than I've needed a page-turner (usually played from memory). I think being the page-turner is more stressful because you can screw up the performance just as badly, but resulting from a much

I’d guess, given the diversity of commercial RE counter parties that the WeWork hydra is negotiating with, at least a good portion would’ve priced-in a premium for early termination.

Can you really, honestly say that you have never said anything that you regretted later?
