This seems to be a shadowban by possibly overzealous/incompetent ISPs. I am in India and able to access and download VLC through my ISP from the official videolan website. It is very likely the case would get thrown out as the party

Get a lawyer to help with this. They are the experts and can help with this. The TCO is justified when you look at the long run and the risks that a legal team can help you minimize.

It would be interesting to know what groundbreaking findings they made between their limited signup period and now, other than the obvious reason that they got their asses kicked by Stable Diffusion and MidJourney's alternate models

Is the tradeoff then having a standing cyclist instead of a sitting cyclist? A vertical pedaling system like what is shown with NuBike would then mean one could pedal the bike by shifting weight from one leg to another, with gravity doing m

Using an airconditioner and lattice structures/jaali are not mutually exclusive. As an example, if you consider large buildings like hotels that have an open central courtyard, the open spaces could use the lattice structures for cooli

Wouldn't that just be another attack surface? Chances are some of those rotated passwords may be used in other sites and this just exposes the company and the user to additional risk. Not to mention insiders that are bad actors.

You can also use multiple transcription engines and then use mismatches among the text streams to narrow down the % of content that needs to be reviewed. This is quite similar to multi-voting OCR for document images. The principle is that t

Erasure coding combined with hashing. Since erasure coding uses data redundancy to help with recovery, bit rot with one stream/disk can be automatically detected and recovered (subject to supported levels of error correction). Hashing

Slightly off topic, but one thing that annoys me is most movies made in the last 15 years that end up showing smartphones and text messages or the actors typing on their phone and most of the time the text is too small, or the camera cuts t

Banking systems do not require consensus. So, it is a single party that has to make a trust decision with a counterparty that it partially trusts, but may potentially be a fraudulent party masquerading as a trusted party. Crypto requires co

I had COBOL as one of the subjects during my engineering course in the early '90s in India. Absolutely hated it. We first learnt Pascal. There is a lot to love about Pascal and in those days the Borland TurboPascal compiler was a breez

You can do both. If you are keen on understanding the concepts, there are many self-learning courses available online (both for math/linear algebra concepts etc., and data science/analytics). Check out: https://ocw.mit.
