    Before lightning was a thing, he anticipated the block size would increase over time. And he changed his mind when the idea of level 2 came up. Which was the right thing to do. But…

    Oh, interesting. So he only keeps his face secret, not his identity? I remember reading an interview with Ozzy Osbourne who said he refused to work with Buckethead because it spook…

    I think there is some systematic reason why people like Satoshi, Buckethead, Banksy, etc are not uncovered. In each case, I doubt that it really is hard to figure out who they are.…

    Most servers don't set a CORS header though. So usually it does not work in the browser. Try this in your console while not on Reddit: fetch('https://www.reddit.com/.json')

    Is this Capacitor specific code? Here it seems the JS code can fetch data from any domain: https://github.com/kaangiray26/geddit-app/blob/main/src/js/g... Since that is not possibl…

    I would love a battery powered 32" E Ink screen that does nothing on its own, but lets me send it images to display. But for that I guess I would have to give that thing access to …

    Ask HN: Threads in Europe?

    Everybody is talking about Threads and showing off their new profiles. While I don't see the app in neither the iOS nor the Android app store? Looks like they do not provide it in …

    Chrome and Firefox here are an example for "Two users who use exactly the same hardware but different software". To distinguish between users between of a larger set, you do more s…

    Not sure if the workload makes a difference. We would have to make examples of what Computation1 is and what Computation2 is to make a prediction if certain types of workloads will…

    There is no way to escape fingerprinting. Just one example: A script which runs many different types of computations. Each computation will take a certain amount of time depending …

    Then you don't have suspend to ram. The way I read it, s2idle leaves the CPU running. So it is up to the OS if it wants to use it or not. https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/p…
