In this case you set the anti-phishing code in your account settings (arbitrary string). Then they include it in all email comms (in the top right of the email body). So if you get an email from what looks like "Crypto.com", but w

Fair. And I think I know what you're referring to. Yes, they do upload your contact list, but I believe there's a prompt at setup time that allows you to opt out? It might even be an OS-level prompt to the tune of "Signal wou

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe your comment is misguided. The PIN is a security option that prevents a SIM-swapping attacker from registering a new device under your phone number unless they know the PIN. You can opt out of it

A few more usecases that I've added to my workflow since discovering container tabs: * Work/personal separation * Multiple AWS accounts Also, I am very impressed with how well they're integrated into Firefox. For example, ope

Curious to hear what's missing. I do some light front-end work (css/react) and have been fully on Firefox for about a year. Haven't looked back.

How do you like pasting a TAB into your text editor/terminal every time you want to switch windows?

I have lost responsiveness in both my CMD key and the E key. Apple agreed to replace the front panel of my MBP for free, so at least there's that.

One can only dream. It was so far ahead of its time, and I still consider it superior to any smartwatch out on the market. I have mine from 5 years ago that still works great. We need more products like this.

I do a moderate amount of ReactJS dev, and FF has been excellent. I barely noticed the transition from Chrome to FF when it came to my workflows.

I'd keep in mind that cloud providers have well-known IP blocks that can sometimes be rate-limited by various internet sites/services, primarily to combat botting. You might inadvertently get caught in the IP range that's bei

This kind of comment indicates how effective the marketing/media kool-aid has been. Having paid very close attention to how both systems work (and having used both iOS and Android extensively in recent months), I don't think I&#x2

Pretty sure it's keyed on your email alone. Not sure where you saw anything about passwords.

Wow, if only everyone was as smart as Kazakhstan and figured out that this super awersome Security Certificate was "an effective tool" to protect the entire country's information space. And I've been wasting time with st

The infotainment system in my 2017 CX-5 often freezes on cold startup. There is no way to dismiss the "Warning" screen (which takes up the whole screen), even by pressing the "Dismiss" button. Just have to wait for it to

I'm using latest stable FF release as my main dev browser. Sourcemaps are supported just fine. For my usecases, I can hardly tell the difference between Chrome devtools and FF devtools. YMMV

I've been wearing my AirPods at the gym since I bought them (~1.5 years) and haven't had a single issue. And I sweat a lot during my workouts.

To be honest, the top level comment in this chain reads a bit like an attempt at a plug for FoundationDB than a legitimate criticism of Redis. You could s/Redis/<literally any other DB>/g

Would you care to expand on what pushed you to do that? Was it purely reliability, or were there other factors involved?

I'm not a heavy multimedia user, but Signal's Mac and iOS apps have been working wonderfully well for me and my friends.

Wheeler's past history doesn't invalidate the article's lack of substance.

I was hoping to see at least some hints as to why the security of 5G is flawed in its current state. The only argument I seem to parse out of this is what you stated. Note that the author is Tom Wheeler - former chairman of the FCC. It does

I don't think that's feasible, to be honest. I'd imagine that you would want to look for evidence of a double spend as that's the most likely goal of a 51% attack. But then the blockchain must have up-to-date knowledge o

by leevlad 8y ago
I think it's just not worth the time. What do you do when you've successfully run a 51% attack? You go on an exchange and double spend the money, which means you have to maintain the 51% attack for longer than min # of confirmatio

Because it's an eventually consistent system. If what you proposed was implemented, you could end up with a fork that would never get reconciled.

Anecdotally, it seems to be flying through pages it used to struggle on when I last tried it (~version 60). Tab switching seems faster too, but I haven't had enough time to put it through its paces yet. Fairly promising so far, though!

Firefox has noticeable delays and scrolling performance issues on OSX. I have a top of the line macbook from last year, with i7, 16GB RAM, etc. But even on that it's sluggish and stuttery. I've tried all sorts of performance tweak

I don't know if that's really a problem. When a AAA title that I want to play comes out, I will buy it regardless of what launcher it comes through. I'll download the installer straight from their site if that's what the

After years of clicking cancel as a student, I was more than happy to shell out the full amount for a license after my first paycheck. Don't think I would've stuck around if the free versoin was gimped in any way.

To add to many other valid points others have provided, OVH is a discount provider and they use second-hand / refurbished hardware at their data centers to keep costs low. I used to manage hundreds of servers on OVH and found that thei
