SSH can't send out a packet for every keystroke as soon as it gets it-- otherwise it's susceptible to timing attacks based on minute variations in speed of hitting different combinations of letters on the keyboard.

By age 17, he published 10 peer-reviewed manuscripts in quantum field theory and particle physics. At 19 he got his PhD in particle physics from Caltech. Age 21, youngest ever recipient of what they used to call the MacArthur "genius&

The links that are included shed more light on things. The write-up linked is a little light on details, and I also expected an actual "flaw". What the other links show is a series of anecdotal reports that the k-series intel pr

If you assume labor is 50% of the cost of a coffeeshop, and maybe only 30-40% of the cost when you factor out management, prices would have to go up only 6-7%. And remember, you are assuming a zero-net-revenue change. Maybe your former non-

It's pretty annoying too that you spend $3k, and Samsung got probably all of $150 to serve ads to you in perpetuity.

Not criticizing, but just pointing out, in all fairness, men sabotage condoms and "stealth" remove them without their partner's knowledge as well.

You should really fix the spelling of "HIPAA" on the front page if you want to be taken seriously as advertising a HIPAA-compliant piece of software.

On the flip side, I remember reading a story of a parent listening to their child bark orders at Siri/Alexa, and thinking that even though there's no need for politeness, they felt that maybe they should teach their child to treat

I can't browse twitter anymore with my iOS 3rd gen ipad. It was impossibly slow as recently as three years ago, and sometime in the last year they blocked my OS/browser version altogether with a "not supported" page. Th

For the US, they've forgotten a few: Archer-Daniels Midland, oils, feed, ethanol, corn syrup (rev $65 B) Sysco, restaurant supply (rev $55B) Tyson, chicken (rev $44B) Cargill, like ADM, oils, feed, ag products (rev $113B)

About 20 years ago, Buffalo NY had more MRI machines than Canada (not coincidentally, it's also the closest US city to the Toronto-Mississauga and St.Catherines-Hamilton areas.)

I don't know a whole lot about this, but I seem to remember that there was one design decision, that, while not wrong, was different from the generation before, and that is that the airplane yokes were not mechanically coupled to one a

My math was fine, but I did get the base numbers wrong. Should have been 120L as mentioned in the article, which equates to 88.577 m^3 at 15C, which is pretty chilly. 20C is more like room temp. But, I'm not sure your math is quite o

This article isn't great. First, it illustrates an MRI story with a (mislabeled) picture of a CT scanner. Then, it overestimates the volume of gas expelled by a factor of 1000. 170L X 750 = 90k L = 90m^3. This would fill a 35m^2 (about

I don't follow you at all. If the information available to the market is provided at the point the insider executes the "sell" then it is the B trader who provides his information later, and all the B traders will tend to act nearly at onc

Wow. I remember that back in the day, it was commonly argued that derivatives trading would reduce volatility in the markets. This is no different. Under certain assumptions, insider trading would lead to a more efficient market, and und

On average, a man will tend to gain about 1 lb per year as they age. I wonder if 34% of IT workers have been in their current position for around 10 years?
