The lid seals the entire Instant Pot, not the insert (which is the thing that would go in the fridge).

I had an affected YubiKey -- Yubico shipped out a replacement immediately. It's inconvenient if you have an old YubiKey, but the replacement process is simple. Additionally, you can always generate GPG keys on your machine, transfer th

You place full trust in the provider of your VPN. If you'd like to use PIA, you have to trust them -- and you can make your own decisions about that. I think it's fairly reasonable to trust them based on available evidence, but it

It depends on your threat model. If you want anonymity, you'll have to take further steps. Self-hosting on a VPS that's linked to you protects you only from your ISP, which is enough if you're concerned about your ISP selling

If they can't see the contents, they also can't see the URL -- both are encrypted.

This matches my experience! I thought there was a rigid set of instructions and that if I couldn't follow them perfectly I would ruin the meal. Definitely the programmer in me :). And definitely, in retrospect, a totally misguided noti

I wonder if you might be approaching the problem from the wrong direction. In all likelihood, you're not going to make any grave mistakes -- you're just going to make food slightly below par a couple times until you hone in your c

For me, it's a joy to hear people talk about the things they are passionate about. I go out of my way to ask people to just talk about the things that interest them. I would be surprised if a majority of HN users did not have similar f

Another commenter linked to the Wikipedia article on Bicameralism. If you're interested, you might want to check out "The Origin Of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind"[0] by Julian Jaynes. The jury is (mostl

Agreed. It seems really strange to me that we societally accept success (in the capitalist sense) as something of positive moral utility -- or at least something that we get to contrast against the happiness/suffering of human beings.

I used to be fond of trying out new desktop environments, playing with "fun" stuff etc. At this point in my life I no longer gain a lot of enjoyment from just fiddling around (at least not usually). These days a laptop is just a t

This is very easy and cheap to implement with Asterisk and a no-name VoIP provider. I've done some messing around with phones in the past and I would expect that Twilio has little/no effect on this space -- the barriers to being s

The US actually had a lot of contactless cards for a while, before EMV, but it seems like that's been phased out (outside of the use of NFC via Apple Pay / Android Pay.

Of course. The whole points of a) the bill of rights and b) the entire system of checks and balances is to make things more "difficult". This is as the framers intended, explicitly to avoid things like judicial overreach as is hap

In the opposite direction, having knowledge of Python's list comprehensions (and to some degree, an understanding of lazy evaluation) helped me a ton when set-builder notation was introduced in my first discrete math class.

Careful of the huge confirmation bias inherent in the art you see vs. the art that's being created. Your spheres (not you specifically -- all of HN) likely tend toward exposing you to those kinds of projects.

I mean, it's an assumption that's got some known counterexamples. For example, Google Now stores the raw audio from every time you activate it / dictate a question on an Android device. It's not out of the question to ex

Were the power issues with Philae resolved? The last I heard, it was slowly dying due to insufficient sun exposure, but some people said it might come back to life when it got closer to the sun -- is this the case?

I think I can shed a little light on that distinction -- here's how I understand it. No serious formal study here, but a few classes and a lot of reading of Hindu texts under my belt: The human "Self" -- capital S -- generall

Find a time when you're naturally fairly calm. A lot of people like the morning right after waking up and getting ready. My preferred time is in the early afternoon. There really isn't a specific time meditation should be done, yo

I fully agree that meditation is less complicated than advertised. However I'd like to state that "contemplation" and "deep thought" are alternative terms for a specific type of meditation called mindfulness meditat

There is no 0-day here... it's a bit shameful to even call it an exploit. It's simply cross-referencing public records to look up the addresses of police officers. There is no "doxing a police department" going on.

I think the commenter you replied to was inferring that the whole CAN bus was not accessible via the Ethernet network.

Luckily, WarpWallet's algorithm is public and therefore can be reimplemented even in the case of their disappearance.

I use etckeeper, which is basically the same thing except with some nice hooks like auto-commit on apt-get install.
