    Unless I'm misunderstanding, this isn't what I'm looking for. I'm looking for expandable storage - the ability to add GB/TB by adding disks. Replication is important, yes, but if I…

    Ask HN: Dismantling botnets: possible?

    I'll state up front that I know nothing about botnet formation, architecture or the like. Simple question: is it possible for operating system manufacturers to send out an update (…

    Chip & Pin and Contactless are commonplace in Canada as well at stores. Not all have it, but most get it as they upgrade their systems.

    They've even got them here in Canada! Victoria BC of all places.

    Surprisingly, I get this fairly often on my mobile. I'm not quite sure what's changed with the last version (or couple) of Android to trigger this. Over-secure, perhaps?

    As do I on my Android lollipop 5.1.

    On Python's Wall of Shame/Superpowers[0], gevent[1] is the module that prevents me from moving my Python/Django web projects to Python 3. For those of you who previously used geven…
