> That someone could be siphoning terabytes of classified information over the span of decades is just beyond comprehension. I don't know how ridiculous this is. Security is an ever-evolving field, and a lot of these stringent contr

I don't think it's possible to make a Google account without a phone number anymore. It's really unfortunate, especially because I deliberately don't set up fallback contacts for my "alternate" gmail accounts,

This is not invisiblity. It's putting your safe door behind a curtain. Yes, fewer people are seeing the safe, but the curtain is not actually increasing your security, it's just preventing casual attackers from seeing you as a tar

I don't know how that has any bearing on what the post you were responding to said, or on the article in general. There's no need to get into vague generalities about "falling behind" other nations that "get to&quot

I use mobile firefox - how do you get it to reflow? I would love that feature if I knew how to activate it.

I think it's mostly OK. A lot of my problems with mobile would be alleviated if I could get a browser to reflow text on demand. It used to be you could set your zoom level, double tap and the page would reflow to the new zoom level. Th

It would be amazing if every website were designed like Wikipedia. With the exception of MediaViewer, Wikipedia is one of the best-designed websites out there. It's light, content-prominent, progressively enhanced, HTTPS-only. Even the

Article doesn't say that gitlab censored the list, though the gitlab link is a 404. Also, are they actually using DMCA to get these lists taken down? If so, isn't there some penalty for filing a false DMCA?

dateutil spends most of its time inferring the format, it's not really designed as a performance component, it's designed as a "if it looks like a date we'll give you a datetime" style component.

I don't think anyone's saying that the question "who is x" ever means "give me the contact information for x". They are just arguing as to whether or not Siri's counter-intuitive behavior may be a reasonab

I don't know if I understand. At first I thought you meant that we shouldn't drop entire providers because one of their customers spoofed an IP, but of course the burden should be on those providers to make sure spoofed packets ca

Isn't it more akin to blackholing mail servers that don't set up DKIM, which almost all major mail providers do these days?

Why is it "'free' internet"? I would think that it should be "free 'internet'", since the issue isn't that there's a hidden price, but that it's not really the internet.

That may certainly be true, but I wasn't just talking about in-office hours - the labs I'm talking about were hardware type labs (instrumentation, laser labs, that sort of thing). It's possible everyone was just going home to

From what I can tell, this is much more common in synthetic labs than physical or analytical labs. I think most of the physical chemists I knew in two different universities worked fairly normal hours, the labs were mostly empty on nights a
