I am guessing it's a failsafe in case the touch screen on the safe fails and they need to plug in a keyboard to open it / diagnose it. It's a legitimate thing to do, but you would think that the USB port would have protection

Why not simply score the motherboard around the port to cut the traces? Epoxy sounds like such an inelegant solution. But I am a neat freak :)

Ok, I understand where the FCC would have an interest in regulating peoples ability to easily screw around with transmission power or frequency. But why does it have to extend to the rest of the firmware. Can we at least agree on the middle

Having owned several German sports cars, I must say that "excessive cleverness" just might be a German trademark. When compared to the Corvette, the only American sports car I had, excessive, and largely unnecessary cleverness is

What about people like me, who live with in range of just one cell tower. When ever I am within range of my cell tower at home, my signal always comes from the same direction, and roughly with the same signal strength. So far I have yet to

I use iTerm2 a lot in the "visor" (pop up from the top) mode. I have my iTerm2 plist file edited so that it displays no bar icon and pops up even over the full screen apps. It would be really nice to have a feature where instead o

The right should follow the intent, as evidenced by the photograph itself. If the evident intent is to document a public space, than you should have absolute right. But if the intent is to reproduce one particular building or sculpture, or

You know, you live your life, blissfully unaware of laws as idiotic as this, and then one day you wake up, read the front page of HN, and now you have yet another thing to feel utterly outraged by. Shouldn't I have absolute right to ph

Helicopter parents = bad parents, usually = high intelligence parents. Same thing can be true in reverse. The GP is arguing that men have the luxury to propagate their genes even if they do not make good parents, while women have to be a go

All of the examples you and many others in this thread are giving are already illegal, under currently existing laws, in most, if not all countries. Threatening people with violence, encouraging others to commit violence against other peopl

Why can't that be covered under normal harassment laws? Why do we need an entire new law, with very broad and vague definitions, to cover something that's clearly already covered by already existing laws.

This is a law that will never help a single person, and eventually will be used and abused against people the state finds undesirable. Really sad to see freedom of speech being killed off yet again in an idiotic pursuit of an illusion of sa

Hmm, I can see that too now, though I am passing into it a CInt, and getting back a CInt. Is it just converting the Int to Double internally and shooting back a Double which is converted to CInt? If so, why do you think it's so much fa

This test is rather misleading. For instance, I decided to rewrite this same procedure in Swift. I was stunned to find out that at first the speed was almost 4 times slower. The C program took 34 seconds to run to 67108864 while Swift took

Have you personally ever done so? I have, and it ain't so easy, especially if you are not just swapping in a piggyback system, but actually installing a whole new ECU.

Because things in medical science function a lot differently from the rest of science. Take a look at this video to see what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VArT6Kj_x_8

Could someone explain to me why the leap seconds can't simply be inserted on the leap day in February? Never mind, that just makes way too much sense I assume :) Just like not having daylight savings time, or 30 min offset time zones,

I tend to agree that the biology papers often lack proper documentation of procedures and methodologies. This is a wonderful effort to reproduce some of the key experiments. That being said, I think it's also very important to look at

You right, I should have said Netherlands, because I was replying to that specific example by the parent comment, and after doing some research, it looks like EU is all over the place on this topic.

That sounds like discrimination in the other direction to me. In US you are given a license and you can choose who officiates that license. If you are not religious, you can have a Judge or a government official officiate your wadding. If y

I am guessing that it's an airplane rather than a quad, because they reported it to have a 4 foot wing span. I guess you have a point, I never shoot anything from more than 80 yards, so it might be impossible. Maybe they need attack dr

Quads and RC Planes can easily reach altitudes of 11k feet+. However, most Radio Systems and Video transmission systems can not throw a link that far. Some people can get as much as 17 miles with UHF radios, but those operate in the 400Mhz

As a drone builder and pilot I hate stories like this. A few really stupid people will eventually ruin this hobby for people like me. That being said, why not simply snipe the drone out of the air rather than abort the mission? I know that

If BTSync can support everything under the sun by statically linking their single binary, why can't Google.

I second that! Perhaps it should be another sport indeed. It would also promote self driving cars, and make people feel a little safer about the concept.

The article it's self is very useful, and I think the advice the guy gives is totally on the money. But to be fair, the article does not cover how to go from $100 to the first million. That's the really tough part. Going from 1 mi

Don't forget higher child infant mortality and premature births. Humans are born several months earlier than optimal in order to be able to fit that huge head of ours through the birth canal.
