If you have an Android phone (even if just an old one you don't use anymore, or a cheap one you're willing to buy) and you're willing to root it and wipe all data on it, you can: 1. Unlock the bootloader (if not already done)

Decrypting the OTPs on another device has required a password for a long time now (maybe always, I can't actually remember if it was always there or just added years ago). It isn't only bound to your phone number.

The cited "40% of college age women report being choked during sex" article is an NYT opinion piece where some of the respondents actually say they _wanted_ to be choked during sex, but the author of the opinion piece thinks they&

Note they said Lufthansa freight fleet , which is why it's only 11 planes. Lufthansa (the passenger airline) is indeed still a very large airline.

This is pedantism, and is also just wrong. "if you have the right key" IS authentication. Encryption keys are used as a form as authentication all the time, it's one of the main use cases of public/private key encryption

I'm not going to claim that it's much better these days, but it's worth noting that the launch center in the link is quite old. The launch center have had multiple upgrades since then; the link here [0] shows some videos from

Yes, that video looks to be the "REACT" [0] upgrade that was done in the 1990s. It specifically says it changed it to make the operators sit side-by-side. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_Execution_and_C

The article directly says the opposite, and reinforces what GP comment was saying about the union not being helpful: > Although Dugan, Shaffer, and other members say their union stewards on site helped press their concerns to management,

I've literally never heard "socked by a hurricane" despite living in an area where hurricanes hit the coast every year. I just did a google search for "socked by a hurricane" and there were a mere 8 results. Seems l

I think my original comment about "flagship" was worded poorly, and has led this thread down a path I didn't intend. I know what "flagship" means, and I did correctly assume that the article was trying to convey imp

by arrakeenrevived 2y ago
Yes I'm aware that "flagship" indicates importance, but I stand by my comment that the article does a poor job of explaining it. It only says "flagship" in the title, and also the title is the only place where it re

by arrakeenrevived 2y ago
FWIW I agree with you. The title hardly makes sense to me as well. "Ford's Battery Flagship" - even after reading the article I'm still not sure what this is. "flagship" is used only in the title and nowhere el

S3 buckets have never been public by default. They were, however, very easy to make public before things like Block Public Access existed, so lazy devs would just click that button rather than doing proper access control.

My understanding is that cold starts on containerized Lambdas is actually better than non-containerized for some workloads, because using containers allows Lambda to do better caching of the code, as well as lazy-loading. YMMV of course bas

You're correct, it is 2 MB/s. The actual bandwidth from the AWS Lambda docs is: >Uncapped for the first 6 MB of your function's response. For responses larger than 6 MB, 2MBps for the remainder of the response Some of the

Clouds (like, the big fluffy things in the sky) are made up of many droplets of liquid. Using "droplet" to refer to the things that make up cloud computing is a pretty natural nickname for any cloud provider, not just DO. I do ima

There's a lot of advertising activity that ublock doesn't catch, but Pi-Hole does. Usually it's tracking APIs rather than ads themselves. It's also useful for clients where I can't install client-side adblocking, ie

Aircraft are often sold between airlines, or reconfigured even with the same airline. If United ever wants to reconfigure their 737s to be higher density (which is pretty common), they might need to start using that door as a real emergency

I think HN really overestimates the impact of events like this with the general public. The very first A320 demonstration flight crashed, killing 3 people, allegedly due to software issues in the new fly-by-wire system, and then involved al

The pictures clearly show that the seat is still there. It also wasn't a window... that's a plug for an unused emergency exit location. Planes have spots in the fuselage where emergency exits can be placed if the aircraft is confi

Boeing moved their HQ to Chicago in 2001, and experienced wildly successful growth from 2001 until 2019. Seems like it might be recency bias to correlate Boeing decline with its HQ location. Exxon is another example I can think of. Until re

Maybe this is true for many parts of Amazon culture, but the big factor recently is that the RTO mandate is company-wide. With very few exceptions, it doesn't matter what org you're in, RTO affects you, and can have a drastic chan

This is just arguing semantics over the word "culture", but I'll bite. The culture of Amazon during 2019-2022 was that people throughout the organization "thought about work" as something that could be done remotely

From personal experience: yes. But I don't really see what that has to do with anything, because even just looking at during the pandemic (remote work culture) to now (in-office culture) is a demonstrably different culture, so I still
