I know how they work and that they exist. However, I use cash as little as possible, and really don't need a cash substitute. The few times I use cash it is for small consumable pu…

There is no major credit card company in the US that doesn't have a $0 liability policy.

Hardware wallets Do not prevent you from voluntarily giving up your money to thiefs. Social engineering doesn't go away. There are still plenty of ways to steal money from someone,…

To your edit: Saying bitcoin solves credit card theft for good is like saying gold bars or even just cash solves credit card theft for good. News flash buddy, bitcoin is not a cred…

But let's be real, the graphics of prodigy were not really up to the task of showcasing products. nb: the graphics of prodigy were a semi-standardized limited color pallette vector…

Meh it was pretty easy. Due to the fact that there were a limited number of peripherals to begin with, getting a modem hooked up to a serial port pretty much always worked. (first …

Not really. Any idiot on the internet can put a poorly made piece of documentation for anything, as has been done here. The topic kernel development is also technically involved an…

Your first sentence is absolutely false. The syscall table is the stable API of the linux kernel.

Evidence of compromise (tampering, intrusion) is a major part of security. In some threat models it can be assumed to be unobtainable, but this does not support your blanket statem…

The author (Markus Kuhn) almost certainly knows about this (I assume based on his prolificness in publishing tech documents nearly 20 years ago). But the use of grave accent is sor…

Erm...JSON allows whitespace last I checked. \n (ie the actual \x0a) is a whitespace character, and so can appear as a discarded token in JSON. So you would basically have to restr…

You do realize that the politics of Rust are exclusionary. There are people, myself included, that do not want to (or risk) get wrapped up in the axle of this brand of social polit…

Often is very much not the same as always. Moreover, when these optimizations are useful (i.e. Not underwhelming) the payoff is significant (like multiple orders of magnitude signi…

No it's not the brightness per se. What you perceive as "brightness" is the intensity of the part of the spectrum that is visible to you. But plenty of the non-visible spectrum has…

That is indeed the argument and I don't think it is necessarily a bad one. Academic papers are both jargony and written in specialist notation and are not generally accessible to l…

Why obviously? You're not a bright one.

> SVG graphics are clean, result in NO blur at all. They don't even need any Truetype-style hinting. You've probably looked only at early non-conforming implementations using bad a…

Don't forget better UX. The whole practice of UX is utter hogwash. Comparisons between 3 or 4 (or 100) solutions that are shitty at baseline is not honest at all.

I have NEXUS and I agree it is worth it. But the relevant question is that TSA pre is not difficult to get. If someone (US citizen or PR with relatively clean record) wants to blow…

Yes, all you're saying is it is possible to make shitty native apps too. So that would explain your results. Native isn't a magic wand, but except for the simplest of things web wi…

I have no idea where this incredulity even comes from you tools, nor the claim from TFA which was patently absurd. Pretty much every fucking major language not listed has green thr…

Well I feel old as shit now. Back when DVDs and VHS tapes were a thing we were all indoctrinated by a big blazing "FBI Warning" of the penalties up to 5 years imprisonment and $250…

Those in the lower echelon of society are unfortunately too stupid not to support powerful groups that have the opposite of their best interests in mind. Ie not many rural poor or …

If you have excellent credit you can simply not pay and make them do the work. I had a $1500 dispute. I was getting tired of wasting time. When it went to collections I drafted the…
