It's obvious to you and me. It's not obvious to Joe Voter who wonders why the South Australian government spent millions of dollars on this battery boondoggle by some American millionaire. The more the message gets out that the ba

I think that this article[1] (written by the researchers themselves) gives a better overview of the paper and context. The important context is that there's legislation being discussed at the moment that would criminalise re-identifica

You can purchase a three-phase 230V / 80A wall charging station from Tesla. If you are running a fleet and need a lot of capacity, then you can throw money at Tesla and get a private supercharging deployment (they've done it befor

I don't have access to a G-Suite account to test this with, but afaict you should be able to do this by just adding each AWS account in turn and giving it a different Application Name and description in the G-Suite interface.

Perhaps you can write a patch or mitigate effects of (say) an OpenSSL bug. I can't. Certainly not for the myriad of devices that embed well known libraries in firmware images that I don't get to modify myself. I'd much rather

They only need(* depending on TOS guarantee) to keep the full amount of Bitcoins matching your Coinbase wallet. They can take all the cash they've been given, pile it up and set it on fire if they like. 1 BTC at Coinbase is only worth

Banks have the advantage that if they see a huge spike in their outbound inter-bank transfers they can suspend traffic while they investigate it, and then if necessary call up the recieving bank(s) and issue a freeze on those funds. There&

The other thing which has made importing shoes and other clothing items difficult is now that US brands sites won't ship overseas, and they've started blocking shipments to known reshipping services too. I can still buy three pair

Yeah honestly I, and a lot of other people, are welcoming pretty much anything that'll result in Gerry Harvey getting a flogging after his hypocritical and self serving b.s for years. His campaigning for eliminating/lowering the t

I'm not sure I'd agree. Take for instance what Bunnings has done to the Mitre 10 brand. The moment there's a lower price that's at least as convenient and serviced, we're gone. Another point of anecdata is what Amaz

Oh, right yes I forgot that. I was going to sign up for Coinbase to demonstrate some stuff as a live demo - buy a few $ worth of BTC and transfer it between wallets/show it in the public blockchain/etc. They wanted me to scan and

Thanks. I guess some other open questions: - If one of those drives fails, will Amazon hotswap them out, or do you need to migrate to a new instance (moving TBs of data to a new box without causing outages can be painful.) - Is there a hard

> Storage – 15.2 terabytes of local, SSD-based NVMe storage. That's probably the most interesting aspect for me. Does anyone know how that's provisioned? i.e 8x just under 2TB volumes, or something else?

In most of these types of jobs you directly bill the client for licence acquisition for the type of usage (after the client approves the artwork/design). Forget to do that and now you need to pay out for acquiring the licence afterward

You're almost certainly correct on your guess. That said, the top brass at the agency/Netflix/etc should be ensuring processes are in place to require obtaining/verifying licences for the images used. If some idiot desig

The quote is wrong. First of all, supercharging was never 'Free' - it was a $1,000 addon option (at purchase, or $2,000 later) for a long while before finally being made standard. (The hardware was integrated into all models shor
