This looks like a re-discovery of a 2014 University of Texas at Dallas paper - https://science.sciencemag.org/content/343/6173/868 ? I am missing something? You can see the hackada…

Well there's two important things to address there, and they're both a bit long-winded, but bear with me. First, despite all the discussions of Uber's/Lyft's full-time drivers, the…

Craigslist sellers decide on the price, how to exchange goods and money, etc. Uber and Lyft are not free marketplaces where drivers can offer a ride for a price they believe to be …

Sorry, you're absolutely correct - I had misinterpreted the dev board layout screenshots as the final phone layout screenshots. That'll teach me to post after I should be asleep!

I'm a bit confused on the comment "Modern phones (and all the flagship phones) have had separation between their basebands and APs for years; a modern smartphone baseband is essent…

Hygon is just AMD's EPYC CPU [0]. I am uncertain if they will differentiate themselves more as time goes on, but at the moment almost the only difference in the kernel is that it h…

The whitepaper linked in the upper-right is highly informative: https://www.shutterstock.com/labs/compositionsearch/static/c...

or for btrfs users out there: btrfs scrub start /mnt/volume_name

In Rust overflows generally will cause a panic. So "2 + 2" will return 4 or panic if you're on a 2-bit system (they provide .saturating_add() and .wrapping_add() to get code that w…

It's mostly a question of mobile support: IRC (over TLS or otherwise) requires a continuous connection, where matrix and signal are designed to support polling a push notification …

How about Open Street Map? http://osmand.net It's not perfect, but it provides a good base of functionality, and gets you to big tour destinations. It will also get you to most res…

Riot can do audio and video calls, I've had good luck with it (currently gets used between my friendgroup instead of phonecalls). Check out http://matrix.org/ for the server implem…

I've found matrix[0] to work pretty well. Main downside is that the calls themselves are not end-to-end encrypted, but there is end-to-end encryption for the call setup. Riot[1] is…

You're right, anything can be monitored, but we shouldn't take that as a reason that we should lay down and accept it. You should assume that any sufficiently motivated person/orga…

The difficult thing is convincing people that something could go wrong with all the trust they're investing in the government and large corporations. The thing which I think has be…

I think a big difference is the flags. At least for g++, if you don't specify -march=native -mtune=native you're going to take a performance hit. How much of a performance hit depe…

Well, I'm not really qualified to talk about the BoM costs relative to the sale price because I don't do manufacturing, but the Beaglebone Black team claims they charge at margin b…

But the CHIP uses an Allwinner CPU, and for those of us who like to support manufacturers that actually play nice with the open source community: the CHIP is a no-go. The specific …

Well, I think we'll have to agree to disagree here on terminology! When a browser gets a malicious advertisement or a user gets a malicious cross-site scripting attack, I consider …

I think perhaps the point that the others in this thread are making should be rephrased: you execute untrusted code in the browser, and giving that untrusted code effectively direc…
