The idea behind private keys is that they are private and never sent anywhere so I believe your assertion that the server knows anything about your private key is incorrect. Here's…

Do you know where the "don't put hot food in the fridge" idea came from? My thought has always been that if my fridge warms up the compressor will fire up and cool it down again. T…

As an added layer I suspect that most people watch the entire movie but most people don't finish games. There's a percentage of players of course that will play a game for many hun…

I recently heard about an incident where hanging up turned out to be more difficult than it should have been. Stay calm. Call from another phone perhaps? https://bc.ctvnews.ca/bewa…

I think there's a small typo right at the bottom of the page where it says 'hazzle' but should say 'hassle'. Cool app!

For those that like trivia, the original quote I believe is by Kernighan and it's about debugging code rather than writing it, which I feel makes more sense: "Everyone knows that d…

I was under the impression that the Chinese stock market has a circuit breaker that applies in both directions. Not an expert but random googling does seem to match with this: "whe…

John Oliver did a bit in his wealth gap segment where he mentioned that, in the US, estate taxes are exempt even to children on amounts up to 5 million, and up to 10 million if it'…

I think the reason why the experiment, if true, is so fascinating is because it's about normal people put into an abnormal situation rather than inherently bad people being given p…

I'm not sure if it has changed since I last made an ios app a while back, but there was a fairly large amount of security certificate provisioning and the interface for it, at that…

Per month? Quite consistently? I'm well outside my realm of expertise here so I'm honestly curious. It seems like if this were even semi-consistent people would be borrowing very h…

I know you were just making a rough comparison, but $150 is 1% of 15000. If you're saying you spend $150/month in electricity and that's barely more than you get from a mutual fund…

I very much agree that you don't have to understand the details of how something works for it to be useful. Whether that's a theory, a car or a computer, the world is full of thing…

Though it doesn't reach all the dark corners that cmake does, I found premake to be much easier to figure out and customize. All the configuration is done in Lua and you can custom…

Just for another perspective, my experience doesn't really align with this. From my (biased) perspective, this sounds like "in theory" as opposed to "in practice" so I'm honestly c…

While I understand the desire to have an upgradable PC, as a developer the single greatest benefit of a console is a fixed target. If it runs on this machine, then it runs on all t…

I also like how Swype also allows you easily add words to your dictionary while you're typing. As far as I know Stock android requires you going to the settings screen and adding t…

I think 4-2 is the 2011 Macbook Air. I've been thinking about getting the 2012 and putting Ubuntu on there, but there seem to be a number of semi-unsupported steps required to reso…

The article says "a year later, there are still no PopSockets." But the PopSockets Kick Starter page says it was launched Jan 8, 2012 and funded on Feb. 12, 2012. Am I crazy or was…

The MIT and BSD licenses do allow distribution inside of commercial software without providing source code. The only real restrictions are that the MIT license requires you to incl…
