I believe gp meant, "if the bulk of a tree's mass comes from dirt, why isn't the dirt around the tree used up as the tree gains mass?"

That's exactly what "Regulatory Arbitrage" means. The author calls it out explicitly.

Depends on your threat model. From TFA: Another attack on Samsung Smart TVs was published last week that used malicious commands embedded in broadcast TV signals. So, even if it's airgapped, a tv that's been compromised in this w

I actually got a "GO TO HELL" response when I did this once. After he told me what the company was. Yes, I forwarded the e-mail chain on to them.

I got what you meant, and that was my first thought too. The main reason I haven't bought an Echo (and am looking into self-hosted solutions instead) is the privacy concern.

From inside a simulation, it's impossible to tell how fast the simulation is running because you have no external time reference. The visible universe as we know it could be running at a time dilation of of 10^100:1 and it would look

Yes, but it's much harder to hide a conspiracy to tamper with paper votes if it comes right down to it, since they're not all counted at the same place.

Literally every person I've put into my Vive has been blown away by it. Sure, there's probably some selection bias, but I've been buttonholing anyone who sets foot in my house, including my 70-year-old in-laws. So far, of th

Miles on the car. Given how the article states that the tires alone are good for 5k miles and cost $1600 to replace, that's 32 cents per mile just for the tires. If you're going somewhere far enough away that it's worth you

I have had decent luck the few times I've just dumped the xml config from one pfSense box and loaded it on another. But yes, I eagerly await the API in 3.0

What are you doing to your CPUs? In my experience, CPUs are reliable enough to be nearly beyond reproach when troubleshooting a broken machine.

They can. They don't. It's extra effort for them for nearly zero marginal gain.

I think the convenience of having Lyft manage the logistics will mitigate this to some extent. Lyft carpools are scheduled as late as an hour in advance; if you've entered into a more long-term arrangement, more notice is required esp

Browse "User Submitted" by "Newest First" and you'll see the raw firehose of stuff people are submitting to the main gallery. If you're especially brave, do this at work.

The problem is not that the router is currently broadcasting a BSSID that exists elsewhere. The problem is that a geo-wifi database contains an association between their address and a BSSID. They can change the router, and eventually the p

Unfortunately, yes. Present value of a future annuity (taking the lump sum now cuts the jackpot by quite a bit), and taxes. For ballpark calculations, I assume that each is going to cut the advertised jackpot in half. So for a $1.5 billi

Given that you're relying on server-provided JS to verify the integrity of the data in the first place, a MITM could replace the verification function with return(true) and then inject whatever data they want.
