Sildenafil [0] was synthesized to treat high blood pressure. Erectile disfunction was a side effect that raised much more interest. Tadalafil [1] followed the path of Sildenafil about the phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) enzyme inhibitor. He

In 2013 there was some question about the SuperCow Powers that some programs had. I took time to ask Jason Gunthorpe about it. He didn't answer my email: we make a post about it [1] that became the canonical explanation. That had a hug

Brazil has the same. It's possible to login in the government platform by your bank login. Simplifies a lot for the general population that won't use password managers and so on. And, as banks use a 2FA, security is improved.

"Ask HN: How do you prevent ad-injection in AR glasses?" Things that I haven't thought but, after seeing it, makes total sense. Scary.
