Completely unrelated, but... The story was ofte a little hard to follow when I was a kid, but using a dictionary I was able to not just understand and progress throughout the game, but I also learned a lot of English in the process. It all

I always find it funny when they place them outside of toilets. Like, who in their right mind would push them? Heck - some of them are even touch interfaces so you can't use your elbow.

Funny how the pictured crew widely circulated on pages like these wasn't even on the ship. Norwegian Royal Navy has had women serving as captains for a couple of decades. This isn't something new, the only thing that has changed i

Amazon seems to be pushing AMD-based instances lately, at a lower cost than the Intel-based counterpart. So things are definitively changing in this spectrum.

I don't think it's just Scandinavian minimalism. You want hard floors when you know there will be snow and rain for a large part of the year. It would be impossible to keep things clean otherwise. Just look to Svalbard where you t

A good habit to get into is to create a bucket policy to explicitly deny these actions.

I imagine they don't want anyone to find the app with that name, given how notoriously bad AppStore search is.

The thing is that it really only have to work on a domestic level. I don't see any good reasons for international scout organizations, unless you want to make it political.

I guess that depends on the application. So long as you can guarantee that it happens within a given time frame that might very well be good enough. That said, I don't think a lot of people really take this into consideration when they

And this reduces complexity of all backend systems, as they only have to deal with one mechanism for authentication and authorization.

The reality is that hardly anything needs to be instant. You're powerless in the time period that you're setting. You don't need to have Reddit-scale traffic to have to consider this, but when you deal with a lot of backend s

I would still like to see them decrypt the traffic on demand. There are heaps of other attack vectors that are much easier to deploy. Also, looking at Qualys SSL Labs[0] it seems like most of the web does a good job at supporting secure and

Naturally! Well - except for the diplomatic disaster this would turn into if you did it on foreigners. I think most people exaggerate the technical capabilities of the Chinese government and how interesting they are for them. Sure, we shoul

[citation needed] Like whoa, are you even aware of what you are suggesting? This is completely false.

I doubt it. This is already a solved problem. We have emission standards that makes those designs more or less pointless.

No, but you don't need a complex drive train, like modern plug-in hybrids have.

Perhaps they do? In Norway you're going to have a hard time finding a petrol or diesel car that fits the government requirements. See §5: https://lovdata.no/dokument/SF/forskrift/2017-12-11-1995/§5

I spent plenty of time programming my calculator at school. Had to spend quite some time convincing my mom that I needed the TI-84 Plus over the TI-83 Plus, which came with more memory and processing power, as they were the only accepted &q

Probably nothing. The whole point is that electronic devices that can't be accounted for has to be kept back until they can be, or destroyed.

A store manager (in Norway) once told me that they had a policy to never kick people out, regardless of being paying guests or not. He said this was a policy coming from top down and that they never refused anyone to use the toilet, WiFi or

You can make the same argument about letting only a select few participate.

People are often surprised that many planes can land completely autonomously on airports that support autoland (I think they call it ILS CAT 3). And that work on systems like that started in the 60s.

If you do a lot of business in Turkey you might want to make sure that you don't have to wait for a lengthy visa process, or any other diplomatic issues that might come. Being able to travel into a country as a citizen has a lot of ben

I would guess that it's a relic of the past, the European Parliament does not like the practice. You've been able to buy a passport from both Austria and Cyprus since long before they joined the union. Malta seems to be the odd ba

Having an Austrian, Maltese or Cypriot passport lets you freely move, work and reside in any EU/EEA country.

Nothing that stops them from putting in a small turbine to generate electricity. If memory serves me right, this is what some modern tanks do, like the Abraham. Add in a somewhat small (compared to battery powered only) battery pack and you

Hard to read an article when they beg you to subscribe to their webpage ever single time you scroll, even as little as one pixel, down.

On the flip side you can often get by with lower dosages, which in some cases mean less side effects.

I think it's more likely that they want to differentiate LBs and CloudFront, feature wise. It would make sense to do it in the load balancer, you want to do the redirect as soon as possible. So if you want to do it the correct way you
