So one thing to note is that the “population” referred in the doc you linked is talking about people that are infected , not the general population. Of course, that doesn’t make the outlook that much better: if history is any guidance, H1N

I mean, what do you expect happens after airlines die from a price war? It’s not lower prices.

It still happens, except now the recompilation is done before the reboot for the upgrade, so that it doesn't create a massive downtime for upgrades. But if you manually upgrade, you can still see one (very long) step called "Opt

I don’t know about you, but if I were a big company evaluating vendors for my scientific computing / HPC cluster, whether or not a vendor has open source drivers would be pretty low on my priority list. If AMD comes out today with a CU

That’s a sure-fire way of getting dataloss. Wouldn’t it be much easier to just upload the backups from users devices when, idk, at night? iCloud requires your device to be locked, connected to WiFi, and charging, so I imagine that already s

Knowingly is not a disclaimer. Whether the developer intended it doesn’t change it’s an immoral technology if ever used. It is moreover absolutely not a proof or excuse for moral relativism.

> Technology is morally neutral This argument needs to stop being used. Developed knowingly, a race-condition-full Therac-25 machine is objectively bad and a side-effect-free cancer cure is objectively good. It's along the same line

I agree with everything you said, but doesn't lending money to the group of people that are less likely to make repayment puts them in a worse place? Instead of being in a socioeconomic disadvantage, they now also have a loan that they

At a public company like Twitter, for SOX compliance reasons, it will be very difficult to find someone that has such permissions, and running anything unusual can be easily found by auditing. I'd stop with the conspiracy theories.

Ah, HN, where the top comment to a post about an artistic process is it costs too much money.

Wow, that's really good to hear. One of the chief complaints I have about CT is the lack of agency. Not that this solves all problems, but good on Chrome and Safari for enforcing it

I guess the point of all this discussion is "don't trust a random guy on the Internet that offers to host DNS for you", but also we place way too much trust on DNS.

Suddenly whatever.has-a.name is pointing to a different IP address and that server has the cert installed. Oops.

by yzmtf2008 7y ago
PSL protects the other way around: it can only prevent whatever.has-a.name to compromise has-a.name or another.has-a.name DNS Certification Authority Authorization assumes trust of the DNS server. Doesn't work if the DNS server itself

Isn’t the Coca-Cola trial was about supply chain management not transferring money? How is transaction cost relevant in this scenario?

That's not true. Long pools cannot have an indefinite timeout, especially for a mobile use case. Plus, it's not just the TCP connections. If you look at push notifications on Android phones in China, because GMS isn't availab

While I too wish for better support for PWAs in iOS, the way push notifications are implemented in PWAs and iOS are fundamentally incompatible. iOS requires all push notifications to go through Apple's push server, which means there is
