The title of the article makes it clear that these are not 183M Gmail passwords, but that Gmail passwords are a part of the leak.

"Gmail Passwords Confirmed As Part Of 183 Million Account Data Leak"

These stores are not supposed to prepare you for three days of resilience in advance.

They are meant to be available as reliable and functioning stores throughout a crisis period. Your go-to destination for purchasing vital goods during the crisis.

There is also no reason to believe that the fertility rates would go to zero. To an outside observer, we might simply be reaching a new equilibrium.

The idealized Star Trek society of production automation and exploratory self fulfillment might only be possible, and sustainable, if we are a billion people.

That is still plenty enough people to continue our ever accelerating and vast exploration of culture, science and space.

How about an app for rooted Android phones?

'Click here to transmit 802.11* broadcasts with randomized MAC'

I really liked this, except the fact that - for me - it was translated into Danish.

I have only read Douglas' works in English, and the phrase is "Don't Panic" - it's not "Undgå Panik", which is a lousy translation that literally means Avoid Panic.

Sometimes this geolocalization goes too far.

And robustness is often the static plastic bubble that hides in itself, never accomplishing much in the real world.

State is too often the real world.

Mind you, I like robustness. It's like the cinder blocks I use to build my house, each robust and contained in itself. I just can't disregard state when stacking my cinder blocks on top of each other; the flexing and distribution of load is an emergent state that I have to consider when building each cinder block.

I have written a lot of JS since my humble beginnings in 1997 where I wrote an "ajax" chat system running down to Netscape 2 and IE3.

There's no point in dismissing JS due to simple lexical issues; those have in no way prevented us from maturing the language use through idioms, patterns, tools and collective knowledge.

JS is more than good enough as a basis for CoffeeScript and Emscripten - so why should we care whether scope context or a lack of block scope can be initially confusing?

25,000 might sound like a lot of visits, but I have been beyond that in mere hours with a single slashdotting.

Well, that was in 2004 when /. was big. Today, I would fear the Reddit frontpage.

The next step up? Going from $29/mo. to $99/mo.

I might just not be their target customer.
