The experience sounds similar to my regular trips out to No-Wheres-ville central Illinois. I loved me a good ghost story episode on those nights driving through towns with double and triple digit populations. Well, not exactly the towns, wh

Talk about Being in the Bubble Exhibit A. People at the top of pyramid schemes get there by harming the people at the bottom and others outside the structure. One of the hardest lessons to learn in grad school was that those at the top can

It gets better. The intermediate layer is controlled entirely by Ripple and closed source. The coin only exists to provide 'liquidity' and improve confidence from financial institutions. In essence, Ripple is just a payment proces

Pffft Preemptive market inclusion never works. We tried with the 'World Series', and all we got was a few stray Canadians. Miss Universe? Still no aliens and we can't even get a Miss Antarctica. <--- encoding subspace tran

From what I understand, it usually comes down to whether copy protection mechanisms were circumvented in order to make the copy and whether the copy was transmitted to a nonlicense holder. So, making an image of a DVD isn't illegal, bu

This is probably a testament more to Apple not having enough time to sprinkle in their proprietary magic dust following the transition to Intel x86 CPUs. Giving Apple credit seems a bit misplaced if he had to jump through hoops just to inst

It's more than that. Sometimes the tools act as if they are aware of the context - something is selected, something was previously used, something is often used following the current state - and other times it completely ignores all co

Just ran it again. This time it took 23 seconds. All these on Win 10 x64 1709 using the highly accurate "1-Mississippi, 2-Mississippi..." technique. PC: 6700k OC @4.5GHz, 32GB/1TB NvME (4x PCIE mode), 1080Ti, most background

Oh look. Another Bloomberg article shitting on bitcoin. Seriously, I don't even have to guess the source of these doom and gloom articles on HN anymore. They are wrong way more than they are right and have made it a sport to generate c

That's the world today - ignore facts that don't agree with your reconceived views and deny deny deny. The problem with exploiting vulnerabilities for personal gain is that you're hurting more innocent investors, too. It&#x27

Usually you can trust ~50% of the information in popular 'specialty' subreddits, but the crypto subs are straight up useless beyond major headlines. Even then, the discussions are 90%+ trolls and shills and 10% memes. Steem and Bi

Except that fails if the browser is installed while something else CPU intensive is running, an update is installing, an antimalware process is doing its initial analysis, or the device is in battery saver mode. As an alternative, you could

Yup, and it'll be interesting to see how other cryptos adapt. Proof of Stake, though, worries me. It's a very "the rich get richer" solution trying to prevent the rich getting richer. Less electricity, sure, but it feels

Galaxy S5 was waterproof with a removable back. All the current waterproof phones have SIM card trays, mic holes, cord connectors, speakers, etc, so it might not be as 'extreme' as you're thinking. Just need a continuous rubb

Except that's exactly how Android phones solved that problem - removable backs. Want a bigger battery? Get one that comes with a bigger back plate, like the Galaxy S5 had. Also, before anyone mentions it, you can do this and still have

Default autocorrect is only part of the issue. The more important problem is that it doesn't correct medication names to some odd word combination, like fluoxetine -> flu oxen time, but to another medication. And you can't just

Monoprice also sells through Amazon and most, if not all, of their items qualify for Prime (something like 1000' cable spools might not qualify, but the everyday consumer stuff generally does). Never had a problem with any of their wir

Not being sarcastic, but is this honestly better? There are only a few major cell providers that can roll out 5G, so it seems to me that instead of Comcast-TW-Cox we would have ATT-Verizon-Tmo. I guess it would be easier to set up municipal

Cool.Yeah there are bits and pieces that I think don't fit right even after they flesh out why the character acted in a certain way. LeMarr's statue grinding was one. I get how the last episode kinda explained it, but it still fee

(Not the guy you responded to, but adding anyways.) The cleverness of that episode is, in part, how it contrasts TNG. I agree with your assessment of the situation, and judging by the way The Orville pulls from TNG, it was intentional. They

At this point it would be best to start exploring other notetaking extensions and programs, like OneNote, Evernote, Zotero, etc. Now is the time to jump ship because from here on in it will get more and more unlikely that any viable bridges

Wanting your whippin' arm lined up center makes sense, but it doesn't explain swapping both the side the driver sits on and the side of the road used by the vehicle. If you had free reign on street side, you'd sit on the side

No the OP, but I used do the same thing. I shifted my hand to the right so that my middle finger is on D, my ring finger moved forward and back (WS), and pinky for A. That evolved from gaming on a laptop where I'd just rock my index fi

The more obvious example is to watch a video encoded at 10 frames per second followed by a 30 fps video. Does it look different? If yes, something's wrong with the statement There are plenty of examples on YouTube if anyone's inte
