We're presumably speaking about a shared bathroom in your home, not about travel accommodation. It would infringe upon a fundamental need for privacy that people have: having a space that is yours alone, where you are free to do whatev

I think this is an arbitrary "computerification" of the problem, and doesn't really make things clearer.

Just looking at the main puzzle, I don't think the author's solution of randomness works. He suggests using a coin flip between two colors, say red and blue, but it suffers the same problem as the other solutions that he shoots do

Yes, if you have access to a root CA you can generally speaking man-in-the-middle HTTPS traffic. One defense is HPKP [1], where a certificate or root of trust is pinned so it cannot be substituted. But it's a bit tricky to implement, b

It's interesting. One the one hand, I understand that there needs to be some incentive for companies to ensure the safety of their products or actions. In the US, this seems to be (punitive) damages, whereas in Europe it's more th

I see this as a symptom of the stranglehold that money has on policymaking. Creative output is seen not as good because of the positive effects that creative expression has on people (both makers and consumers), but because it is a method t

To be fair, big O and little o have different meanings in asymptotic notation, and I guess it doesn't pronounce as well as "big omicron" and "little omicron". (Although Ω and ω are both used as well.)

Firefox Multi-Account Containers and Temporary Containers are an ideal combo. By default, every tab opens in a new temporary container. You can create named containers for (groups of) sites you frequently visit so you don't have to log

What a weird line of reasoning. That something is allowed by "the rules" doesn't make it morally justified. Assholes should be called out on their behavior , rather than hating on the creators of a system that believe people

Maybe it's related to the warranty? Apple sells AppleCare separately, but it's basically a warranty that's already guaranteed under EU consumer law. So in the EU they should factor this into the price.

Sorry, I meant running different inputs on a program that does not branch or have an input-dependent memory access pattern. Any computation can be written in such a form, although there might be a large overhead compared to programs that do
