In a previous job I worked for a site doing natural language parsing on recipes. We noticed one of our partner websites had an unusual number of unique ingredients. It turned out every ingredient was a link to another recipe to make that in

This couldn’t have been better timed for me. I sit with a pile of raspberry Pis I throw into different rooms about the house and want to stick assorted tasks on them. My open question was how can I just image them, plug them in and centrall

I think it’s not a nation state actor thing. In 2018 British airways checkout got popped by a JavaScript being library being changed to eavesdrop credit cards. The same thing could easily happen with password forms Granted they didn’t break

The telegram group has a bunch of people (including myself) willing to mail pre-made ones, or the unsoldered PCBs for self solder. It has become quite a community around the software and breakout hardware in itself

I had a problem with Zen recently-ish too. Ultimately was an Openreach thing at the local exchange apparently. The good Zen support was still ultimately there, but it took a little time for things to fall into place. Standard L1 checklist i

Fertilizer itself isn’t carbon. Are you referring to the fertilizer production line or fertilizer itself

What % of the carbon of the plant is fertilizer production?

by jackweirdy 3y ago
The CO2 in plants is 100% from the air, and then goes back into the air when burned

The recipe for government PR - we don’t comment on individuals - we don’t comment on hypotheticals - we don’t comment on anonymous sources - we don’t comment on politics. TL;DR we don’t comment on anything, ask someone else!

(Edit - the question is now different so my comment is stale) My understanding is power is expended when current flows through a metal with resistance, and that loss is in the form of heat. The lower the resistance, the lower the loss and t

Just to be clear I mean if the browser bar says accounts.google.com, you get the internet "level" validation. Regardless if the IP resolved by malicious dns is 10.0.1.1 This would be an extension of the recent HSTS preload list tr

I don't see why a browser would "just trust" that because it is a private IP - the TLD is what matters. When you hit an internet TLD you should play by internet rules, when you hit a LAN TLD (or IP range) you could play by LA
