More like a 40% by that logic. It seems like there's inconsistency around which numbers are counted using decimal digits and which ones are counted using bits. This one is 250 decimal digits, or 829 bits.

This is normal: your computer picks the set of 3 relays you want to use, hence it knows their IP addresses. The 3 relays from there to the hidden service are not known to your computer though, so those are just listed as "relay"

This feels very broken: - The suggestion of signing the timestamp means that any web site you log into with this can log in as you to any other web site you log in to - Given that there's no namespacing of the signed messages, users ca

Detecting censorship/downranking in a service is quite hard to demonstrate: everyone gets a different feed; knowing what could have gone into that feed but didn't is known only to the service which generated it. Measuring the exte

That's somewhat a different definition than the comment I was replying to. There are plenty of people who may want to fly somewhere who aren't going to upgrade their phone to the latest and greatest every two years (which is what

I think they're very useful and applicable. But they are basically irrelevant to evaluating startups for YC. The stage those startups are at, the exact amount of money they have at that given point in time doesn't really affect an

I think the point of the "taught" point in the article was to reinforce that mask wearing was not a novel question in the context of "is this an order that a military officer can give to a subordinate?", nothing more.

What do you mean by conflated? The tracking and profile building is how they correlate results with ad impressions. That this data is then also used for training the models and identifying the user coefficients is just a different use of th

Oh, I guess it'd been a couple years since I viewed the rate tables. In my mind peak prices were closer to $0.30. My mistake. The point is that the 1:1 ability to exchange power you generate for power to consume is a better deal than a
