I'm not aware of airborne particle size distribution data existing specifically for covid-19 (please share it if you have it), but the majority of particles that might transmit an airborne virus are usually 0.3 microns or greater in si

Also notable is that proper use of an N95 takes training. Unlike with surgical masks, N95 fit is specific (you normally get them sized when issued at a hospital). In addition, most people have bad habits around mask removal - you should alw

My roommate sends me $700 via Venmo every month. I funnel it directly to the landlord in a direct deposit on the same day. It's frustrating to realize these transactions are going to be clearly reported as income, because I have never

Some non-default browsers (e.g., Snowhaze, Firefox) support adding new search engines. However, if you highlight and "look up" a word on-page, the search link will always take you to the OS-default search engine.

This is a good point. Scrum's sprint length inflexibility frequently means over or under-allocating time on projects, which messes up metrics (e.g., ticket completion per sprint) ... but is otherwise irrelevant to the work itself. This

I don't know how long the records persist, but presumably for things like video surveillance footage the decay period would be quite fast. For full-text contents, less speedy but still fast. I can only truly envision long-term collecti

Collecting and sharing massive sets of data on people has a societal cost when that data leaks and is used to target individuals with identity theft. Stalkers abuse these datasets to find and attack their targets. Data breaches are especial

Very similar. Startpage tries to learn as little as possible about its users (which I believe, after seeing their error page). It sends searches to Google on users' behalf and returns results without personalization. In Whoogle's

In Rust, abstractions tend to be zero-cost, but things that actually impact runtime are as fast as you write them. Concurrency problems don't magically disappear because your language can check for them. You still need to use memory-sa

Besides that, pass leaks metadata. If your passwords are the only part of your password manager you think are secret, then you're probably not considering the utility of an enumeration of all your network handles. Mine aren't very

It's not obviously explicit (to me, at least) whether they are discussing rotation of passwords specifically or wallet-related authentication flows more generally. In Bitcoin wallets, for instance, multi-signature wallets do not allow

Snowhaze came out on top of an iOS browser comparison I recently read [0], so I decided to give it a shot. It is far and beyond the privacy features of most other mobile iOS browsers. In addition to sandboxed tabs, reasonably secure default

Nomad is very lightweight. It also does nothing near as much as what Kubernetes does. But if all you need is to schedule containers (or other binaries) it does so quite nicely. You generally want to pair it with Consul (as Cloudflare has do

Agreed. The quality is all over the place. "MISR the BIST" sounds like a class in-joke that made its way into the document. But it makes the questions just that much more useless for non-students of this professor.
