I've lived in the US my entire life, and I was confused by your abbreviations. I don't know what "TFA" means, either.

The article calls it a “secret patent,” so I wouldn’t be surprised if they got the number wrong—assuming there even is a number.

Your nose has the same issue as your mouth in that regard. Remember, the virus is hanging out in your respiratory system; it stands to reason that the problematic droplets don’t necessarily originate in your mouth, but rather your lungs. Ev

Part of the issue is getting people to wear them--properly. People like to pull them down below their nose. Again, there isn't a whole lot of data, but it stands to reason that only covering your mouth somewhat defeats the purpose. A

There are hosts who aren’t abusing AirBnB—they’re just uncommon. When you do get one, you know it. I can see why people would want to tip in those cases, especially if you’re paying significantly less than a nearby hotel for much greater va

That was one of the few products I saw that looked like a good deal—roughly 30% off Bose QC35 II. That seems like a legitimately good deal, and it’s a relatively low-risk sale for the consumer. You might have to pay for replacement ear cu

Thanks for the additional info! That seems a bit odd, though. While there were undoubtedly some good deals on electronics, the ones I saw were all on sale—which, according to their return policy, apparently also means “all sales final.” G

I looked through the electronics category on their site, and many of the prices were outrageous—sometimes nearly twice as much as buying an item new .[0] You can’t really pull that off on eBay. Most of their inventory appears to be compris

No, it’s about a store in Alabama. Are you thinking of Scottsdale, Arizona? That isn’t the location of this store. > If you’ve ever permanently lost a checked bag, your stuff probably ended up for sale at a store in Scottsboro, Alabama.

I get the sense that there's quite a bit of humor embedded in these works. I don't understand most of the references, but there's one that I got right away. Click the map of Italy. Roughly in the lower-right-center, there&#

But the percentages weren’t what was reported. I was caught off guard by that, too. I would recommend carefully re-reading where they explain how the integer percentages come about. Voter turnout is reported as an absolute number of voters,

Thanks. It’s a moot point now, but I’ll note that for the future.

It’s still one person. There needs to be a consensus, and that consensus hasn’t been reached. As has already been mentioned in other comments, Mozilla said they wouldn’t enforce the 7-day deadline.

by zenexer 6y ago
That’s about what I expected. It doesn’t make sense for any parties involved to enforce the 7 day deadline, including users. This is a reasonable solution.

They definitely should be—that’s what the author is claiming is mandated, and it would make sense. However, I’m a bit skeptical about browsers being able to enforce that timeline here. Also, given that the underlying cause appears to be i

The author claims it’s a problem because one sub-CA can effectively un-revoke its own certificate and certificates from other sub-CAs. That’s bad because it defeats the most important purpose of revocation. If someone compromises a key, typ

The link is very technical, resulting in some confusion as to why this is such a big problem. The comments on HN reflect that. Here’s my understanding: This isn’t a problem because a sub-CA can revoke any certificate from any other sub-CA o

That’s a potentially dangerous recipe. Sassafras is currently banned for commercial food production in the US, as it’s a possible carcinogen. It would be worth doing additional research and weighing the risks before making such a drink. Th
