Exceed 15 c/kWh? We were past that loooooong ago in California. Here are PG&E's rates for the Bay Area... https://www.pge.com/assets/pge/docs/account/rate-plans/resid... The cheape…

> we did that because we knew we could not ask the maintainers of Linux for permission, or they would be on the lookout for the hypocrite patches. This bit just reads like "sorry y…

Yup. It's arguable whether TOTP secrets stored in Google Authenticator are a true "something you have" factor, but this came at a tradeoff because not everybody wants to pay for a …

I would caution against this approach. This fundamentally changes the 2FA from a "something you have" to "something you know", which is the type of factor your password is. If you …

This sounds a lot like Throttle ( https://throttlehq.com/ ). How are they getting around the deliverability issues? If they forward mail along, don't large ISPs like Gmail ultimate…

That's actually not true. I believe with the latest generation of Nvidia cards (10 series) they made rendering multiple similar viewpoints dirt cheap by tweaking the hardware and t…

I disagree. I had tried out Atom for a little bit (after the v1 general release) and more than once I lost my entire workspace. Either through a computer crash, Atom crash, or some…

I'd like in as well. Docker ID is same as my HN username: spectralblu Thanks!

I've had an experience where they claimed a cable modem I had purchased from Amazon was their own (from the MAC address on the label). I had to call in several times because I had …

I believe these are requirements, that each of the separate teams working on these projects have to use wholly different suppliers to also minimize the chance that the same externa…

An interesting thing I realized on Android while doing some development was that if you install a custom root cert, Android actually persists a notification that says something alo…

I used to be of the mind that the service provider should let me choose whatever password since it was after all, my password and my account. The place I'm working for right now us…

It isn't. They were acquired: http://techcrunch.com/2014/08/04/its-official-square-acquire...

Disappointed that they did nothing to probe the onboard MCUs to see if they could get it to leak anything, and just dismissed that with "we expect it to get high marks there." This…

I'm actually surprised that there's no policy on conflict of interest for these universities. It's one thing to be charging through the nose tuition, that's just further exacerbate…

I had encountered this in the lower div general education courses at my university. The most egregious one was the professor who required us to get the current edition of the textb…

This is important. With unlimited PTO, you no longer accrue PTO hours per pay period. Those unused PTO hours are legally required to be paid out at your usual rate when you leave, …

Uber wasn't explicitly mentioned, but it just sounds like the TLC is overly trigger happy in seizing cars, presumably because of the uptake in services like Lyft and Uber who in th…

Lets throw our own people under the bus and see what kind of juicy leaks come out!

Personally its not the slowness that I mind so much. I spent a week in Japan and was never bothered by their train system times and whatnot. The thing that really grinds my gears a…

This seems incredibly awkward to me. Several of the design goals for this app were to eliminate the need for sync, as you're able to fairly easily replicate the initial seeds/salts…
