Also consider that while star sign might be the stated reason for incompatibility, the truth could have been an impression or gut feeling and so the astrological mismatch is simply…

While I agree with the premise of your statement, remember that: 1) A court order is only required for a subpoena to request information that the service provider isn't already vol…

Honest to goodness the results don't seem worth it for the power usage. Pre-baked lighting, environment maps, material shaders look _really good_ and are easy to get decent frame r…

These exist in many different generations (sensor-based traffic control devices) but as there are state and/or local certifications each solution and implementation must meet to be…

I really hope you forgot a /s

This is what the subreddit mentioned in the article sort of "discovered"; they spend a lot of time obsessing over the details and subtle variations they can get by working directly…

Incidentally, did you know that PowerShell on Linux respects the XDG specification? It was rather unexpected when I first noticed it and it just tickles me pink.

Only for grandfathered-in systems that are critical to keep operating that can't be replaced. New systems and lower-impact existing systems cannot use 3DES at all, unless it's only…

NSA is the entity in the DOD which sets certain minimum requirements and validates their cryptographic implementations. NIST owns the overarching standards for the whole government…

"[...] a bored ape is pleasant to look at [...]" Is it really, though? Maybe the word you're looking for is striking or distinctive. Possibly-- competent. But pleasant is not the f…

Unfortunately, this is a reputation your organization cultivated for itself. For gods' sake, the name is _Palantir_ If anyone truly needed rebranding right now, it's you guys.

I don't think Elon was strategically necessary to get EVs over the adoption hump, in that the market was primed for _someone_ to do it. And retrspectively it's been a huge distract…

I think I remember "Westward Ho!", but I can't find anything that isn't the 1924 novel anymore. Do you have any more information about it?

Roomies! got rebooted spiritually as Dumbing of Age. That iteration has been going for _12 years_

The fact that people keep trotting out this idea about the future potential of NFT gaming is evidence that people know basically nothing about making video games or the assets that…

I think for the layperson, "deaf" without any qualifier is treated the same as profoundly deaf. I think the term "hard of hearing" is used when someone exists elsewhere on that con…

It's a demonstration of the concept in action; I love this!

It sounds like you really just don't like being told what to do. Which I think is more the fundamental issue of a lot of people who flip out about many things, including this issue…

It's frustrating that the government doesn't step in to pay/fund on behalf of the public in situations like that. Standards organizations should want such a guaranteed income strea…

This makes me uncomfortable. Not the idea of it per se, but the narrative the GOP's anti-cancel-culture bloc builds around it. Echoes of Thiel's involvement with Bollea vs. Gawker.…

I think the issue is just that NFTs solve a problem that doesn't exist. Any system where an experience is gated by user attestation is necessarily self-contained (asset, payment, u…

"CCP virus" -- Kind of makes it hard to take you seriously.

They explained in a related post that people were being harassed for hiding it or hiding comments... (Replace people with "brands" and we can infer their true motivation)

Related tech that got traction is BLE in servers with corresponding apps, like Dell Quick Sync. Lets you flash the ID light of a server from your phone, among lots of other things.…

All of this assumes that other games will "play by the rules", in the sense that they won't let you use an item that you don't own. If I can see the resource (and in all current mo…
