I've co-authored a book that a lot of the models seem to know about. The models consistently get the names of the authors incorrect and quote the material with errors. If the canon…

I've come to the realization that getting multiple external monitors and then more than one set of them to work right is not a "trivial" problem. Any decision is going to be wrong …

I highly recommend using Dean Camera's LUFA stack if you are going to use the Atmel AVRs that have on-board USB hardware. https://fourwalledcubicle.com/LUFA.php >

I appreciate your response. I retract everything I said. It was a very poorly thought out comment.

I didn't see that. I retract everything I said. It was not a well thought out comment.

I agree. What I wrote is incorrect.

I appreciate your response and agree with what you have said. I cannot undo what I've said - it is clearly very incorrect. I would like to retract it. Do you have any recommendatio…

I think this is a poorly sourced and not a reliably fact checked article. This is at least the 2nd time on HN that a report has suggested Ashley Gjovik was complaining about "toxic…

I am neither. A similar exchange with sneak has happened previously. It is a frustrating exchange. The words that have been used attempt to tie two controversial topics together PR…

Thanks. This can be entirely explained if the NSA had already performed a "solar winds" supply chain attack on the vendor that supplied the TLS encrypt / decrypt endpoints. Is the …

This thinking is based on trusting "encrypted" links. Did you build the hardware that drives these links? Did you audit the Verilog or code that operates this hardware? I know of a…

FISA orders are written by a Judge. Only judges can write these, this is the literal definition of a warrant. Warrants require specifics - Person X, person Y. These are enumerable.…

I do not. It would be helpful to enumerate the specifics of this rather than to play the role of a cheshire cat and say nothing. (I am independently looking for this, but cannot cu…

Sorry, but I do not believe that is what the leak revealed. There was a slide that indicated that data from Apple and other companies was now part of the PRISM program. I am not tr…

A 13 gallon "garbage" bag, commonly used to dispose of waste in the USA weighs 22grams. Each Airpod, according to Apple, weights 4grams. (yeah, I'm just talking about plastic, but …

I remember capturing a copy of "snake" for analysis and figuring out the exploit. It wasn't just world exposed NFS shares - it was any share that was exported to itself. You could …

This answer is both a great answer, but also a terrible one. This answer implies all "python" binaries across all operating systems and distributions for all time, are backwards an…

It isn't an allergy. At the time the GPLv3 was written, the GPLv3 was deliberately crafted to put commercial companies into a conflict situation. (A) Give up selling audio with DRM…

#!/usr/bin/python How exactly is the above supposed to work when /usr/bin/python doesn't exist. If Apple chose to break the #! contract by doing something else, how would you feel …

In a 100% honest world I agree with everything you say. But, the world isn't 100% honest. Let's say company A asks manufacturer F to make 100,000,000 units of a product. One elemen…

I do own a much older generation Thermapen - the automatic switch is failing, so I need to open it up and fix it... but I do find it a useful tool. For the HN angle, my understandi…

Even better would be to classify / specify based on the mammalian species. Which I think would account for the large variation the article author was noting.

No, but there are other tricks, such as prepending enough zeros and then taking the rightmost 4 characters from the string... FOR I = 0 TO 9999 : A$ = RIGHT$("000"+STR$(I),4) : ...…

I've read the full report. Quoting just this is disturbingly misleading. There is a family relationship between JS and BH. Even in 1987 (the time of the murder) it appears to be ho…

Um, what? The requirement for probable cause or unreasonable suspicion is entirely on the judicial entity authorizing the action -- not the recipient of a warrant, however unfair o…
