You can test this out yourself, if you're into an endurance sport and have a heart rate monitor nearby. Even low to moderate drinking the night before a run has a significant effect on my heart rate at rest (around 5%) and during exercise (up to 10% higher).

Where moderate drinking means a glas of wine, or two, not a bottle (or two).

Messi is on the lower end then, as was Maradonna...

A low center of gravity is actually a good trait in 'soccer' as everyone knows that knows a thing about the game.

PayPal 2FA Bypass 10 years ago

I have both a yubikey and an auth app but can't seem to find a way to use them with paypal. Do you have some kind of special account or is that a feature bound to a certain market?

Just wiretapping isn't sufficient

Please explain, I was under the impression that the above could not reasonably be claimed anymore with any kind of certainty [1][2][3]. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something important here or the 'Happy Dance!!' slide [4] made me paranoid.

The underlying premise of your comment is, at very least, debatable. Death camps were in operation far earlier than you imply, if you leave the semantics aside.

Take a look at the report from Dachau in the New Republic (1934) [1], the report by Gerhard Seger from Oranienburg (1934) [2] and contrast those with Hitler's word in his speech from January 1939 [3] or in Mein Kampf from 1925 [4]. There were reports by other people I'm unable to find right now. If you combine the information with an open mind a picture emerges, one that could have possibly found its way into the NYT in 1939.

but this is _exactly_ what game theory is about, the parent probably hinted at a failed unterstanding of the theory as shown by your comment ;)

what i mean is, people may think they understand the concept of game theory but are often unable to link that to its practical consequences, as in this case.

FBI Harassment 10 years ago

No, don't do this, ever. Never think you are going to outsmart a professional doing his/her job - be it feds or police, you are going to lose. Imagine this happening in your line of work, it'd be absurd thing to happen, right?

In general, don't take health or legal advice from HN. There are other places for that, and there is money to spent well.

their product is based on a buzz word and uses unknown hardware, the specs seem underwhelming (1W + usb = ?). their page is filled with videos of models and nature shots and a bunch of news categories that have a few articles from 2013/14. there's no way to order anything, yet they put out some wild claims:

'With Fathom, every robot, big and small, can now have state-of-the-art vision capabilities'

'It means the same level of surprise and delight we saw at the beginning of the smartphone revolution'

'With more than 1 million units of Myriad 2 already ordered'

tl;dr: because, to an outsider, it sure does look like fraud.

Dislike is an understatement, I believe he's being disingenuous in that blog post. I don't want to speculate on his motives, your guess is as good as mine.

Even though GPG has been around for almost 20 years, there are only ~50,000 keys in the “strong set,” and less than 4 million keys have ever been published to the SKS keyserver pool ever. By today’s standards, that’s a shockingly small user base for a month of activity, much less 20 years.

Published keys are not a representative for gpgs userbase, a great amount of 'powerusers' (whatever you want to call those who need encrypted messaging to work) will not publish their keys for numerous reasons, only some of them technical.

Cryptopartys started like this and political activists still do this: you exchange keys in person, you'd never ever publish them on the net, you would not be part of moxie's 'shockingly small user base'.

Most peoples anti-hayfever drugs will be 'second generation' antihistamines, like loratadine and cetirizine, which are not problematic.

More worrying to me is the fact that OTC antiemetic (motion sickness) drugs like Gravol/Dramamine/Vomex/Dramina are made of dimenhydrinate, which is 50% diphenhydramine, which in turn is what the mentioned 'first generation' antihistamines are made of.

because they can and a lawyer will cost you more. actually, i know a lawyer who paid upfront to avoid the threat of a lawsuit.

take a look at the data format of your database instead of the program you are using, it's much less confusing.

keeWeb supports the newer .kdbx format that keepass2 introduced and keepassX can convert to from the older .kdb format. so... yes, it will work.

I agree, but I think you're forgetting something that gets lost in the age of digital music: for some 'what things actually sound like' isn't hard to describe.

If I want to know how a piano sounds, I'm going to listen to an actual piano. If my recorded and played backed piano sounds any different than that, it's not 'how a piano sounds like'.

Apart from that and having owned HD600s, ATH-M40x, E-10s and a pair of AKGs, I'm in agreement with the parent and most of the following posts. Don't buy beats, any of the mentioned headphones here will blow you away for a lot less money.

Data uploaded to Google Drive is not data only you control. You may believe only you control the unencrypted data, but that is up for you to decide. If you read the entire post the author states:

"To finish, we want to point out that the security team at LastPass responded very quickly to all our reports and lot of the issues were fixed in just a couple days. It was very easy to communicate and work with them.

We have seen media and tweets mentioning that we “hacked LastPass”. We did not hack LastPass. We also don’t feel comfortable with those claims. What we did is find a number of bugs, bad practices and design issues which we used to obtain the vault key and decrypt all passwords in different scenarios. There is no bug-free software and any future research on other password managers would likely have similar results."

... which is doubly worrying if you do not control the data you believe to be securely encrypted.

My source is me having found two victims of GHB poising in the gutter, quite literally.

The girl had previous (voluntary) experience with the drug and managed to lock herself in the toilet before passing out. I found her with with several bruises over her face after we broke down the door. The guy was beaten, robbed and left in a bush and that's were we found him. Because I served both their drinks over the night I knew they didn't consume 'too much' alcohol, the girl claimed she could tell the GHB from both the smell(?) of her drink and effect it had on her.
