Whenever the master branch and slave branch thing comes up people say that it's fine because it has nothing to do with slavery.

The thing I don't understand is, even if it had something to do with slavery, why is that harmlful?

Would you mind sharing who those independent fact checkers are?

Except for the fact iMessage is well known for its RCEs as well: search for "iMessage RCE" you will find them.

Furthermore (this may not be the case anymore), iMessage is more privileged than other apps and so once exploited an attacker has a far greater reach.

These calculators are very popular in France.

I know of a lot of teachers who use them for teaching.

The only way to know would have been to compare the models :)

How about no?

Why do we need to add further complexity into the already complex thing that are browsers?

As the post mentions at the beginning, this can already be done with pre-processing. What do we gain by having more syntax sugar?

I don't think that statement refers to rust at all. It's just referring to the fact the software is open source and the user's data doesn't go through a third-party

It still does according to the undergraduate program page https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/computer-s...

7 femto-bunnies - rustboot building Rust prior to being retired

49 kilo-hamsters - rustc building Rust immediately after rustboot's retirement

188 giga-sloths - rustc building Rust in 2020

written in Zig instead of C++, uses significantly less memory, and represents a modest performance improvement

That's particularly interesting considering the rust compiler in rust has never been as fast as the original OCaml one

At Google's scale, I don't think there are enough humans on Earth to deal with the abuse.

I disagree.

Some time ago, a person (on HN, although it may have been somewhere else) did an estimate of what it would take for Google to review all 500 hrs of video uploaded to YouTube every minute.

The result was that Google could more than afford it.

Based on that I don't see any reason Google couldn't add more humans to deal with these ban appeals.

What would prevent it from working with ncurses programs?

Once mozmail was blocked however the custom email domain (paid feature) was not.

From what I understand, this was mostly done manually.

Would it have been possible to represent dependencies as a graph to obtain an optimal result?

That's Nearby Share for Android.

Nearby Share is the Android equivalent.

There's Nearby Share on Android.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the ability to play without logging in on lichess.

Very convenient when you want to play with a friend.

I can't help but think the fact the account creation date (and last connection date, although less so for that) are not censored for a reason.

The account creation date is basically equivalent to the phone number and would allow the owner of the account to know a subpoena was requested for them.

The thing is that if putting data centers underwater solves the cooling problem, all the heat produced is wasted, so it this really a good solution?

I downloaded it with youtube-dl because I cannot stand the excessive adverts on Youtube these days.

Can't you use an ad-blocker?

In a certain way, I find the fact that everybody can make deepfakes positive for society.

Because we will finally stop trusting videos and images as a reliable proof, when they clearly aren't all the time.

Unfortunately it's not so easy to black hole `use-application-dns.net` for parental control. (people don't run their own DNS server).

Here are some of the responses:

What annoys me the most about the whole "Huawei fiasco" is the fact people were going to install proprietary product to run 5G, which meant that it ended in a strange speculation game. If only open and free hardware had to be used for such things, there wouldn't be any problems of putting blind trust into a foreign company.

Is using btrfs on a personal machine something to do? It seems that all the comments as well as articles about it, just assume you're running it on a server.

The ability to add and remove disks on a desktop machine is very tempting.

I just finished listening to "Episode 49: Elliot" and I must say, I'm quite upset by the host's reaction.

He doesn't seem at all to be someone in the security research field.

Either he has those reaction because this is a mainstream podcast and purposely tries to have a "dumb" reaction for his audience (like in a children's film) or he doesn't seem to understand hacker culture at all.

According to this article: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=WireGuar...

Wireguard won't be in before 5.5.

5.5 should release in early february 2020 so it might be in Ubuntu 20.04.
