Celestial navigation requires an accurate clock and an almanac that needs to be updated. It is completely impractical for non-military applications.

I'm not sure how it played out in 2011, but as of now it looks like the win condition hinges on the redirect. For the heck of it I confirmed " http://www.longbets.org/601 " does in fact result in a 301 redirect

At any large employer you sign an agreement to follow the employee handbook and internal policies. They all say the same thing: don't violate the policies even if directed to by your manager. In this case Apple's legal department

There should be safety testing, but no guardrails that limit models for cyber or bio research. Guardrails are not a safety measure, they are a pay-to-play scheme that allows the people with deep pockets to have access to offensive and defen

That was the understanding until the CIA released a bunch of documents in 2017 which revealed that it was such an abysmal failure that they almost called off the entire thing. The attempted coup brought out a lot of pro Mossadeq protestors.

The Mikrotik HAP have terrible coverage, and the other two are the hallmark trashcan design I mentioned.

It looks like the person you replied to deleted their comment, but I assume it was about GL-iNet being a Chinese company. They have a tiny Hong Kong office that handles marketing as well as a US office for technical support, but the entiret

Because a modern wifi router requires a minimum of 6 antennas. 9 is even better. This lends itself to a spider like design with just a ton of antennas sticking out of a box, or a trash can with the antennas hidden inside around the outside

Your example completely ignores the temporal dimension. The best practice was to rotate your passwords, but we discovered that this led users to picking less secure and easier to remember passwords and patterns. Once technology offered up s

Apple is one of the few tech companies that puts user privacy first, and any claims otherwise are deeply misguided. They pioneered things like iCloud Private Relay and privacy protecting cloud backups for devices. Ironically the gaps you po

Probably the most helpful advice I can give you is pointing out that I wrote my comment after reading your homepage and docs. :) I used to run security for building size computers if you want any feedback. My email is in my profile.

From a security perspective this is a non-starter. If you leave your MongoDB instance open and I steal the telemetry you are collecting, I can reverse engineer the data into meaningful insights into cluster workloads. So all your potential

Your "OS Wastage Scanner" is grammatically incorrect. It's "waste."

The message to every Cloudflare employee is clear: you'll be there for the company when times are hard. But the company will not be there for you when times are hard. It does not matter if the way we work has changed, or AI adoption ha

Why not? There has already been a working exploit floating around, at least now it comes from an authoritative source.

Remember that Cloudflare does a MITM on every connection to every website they front. CF not only protects them... they have real time intelligence on who is getting attacked, who is paying for it, and all the parameters of the attack (type

Don't think of it as a materials simulation engineer being recruited and trained on how to write complex malware. Rather this was developed by a team of 6-8 people. Maybe two or three of them working on the implant, another engineer ha

The "Take Action" section is missing the most obvious solution. Everyone just goes and takes down a camera. We as a society do not consent to this use of public space and simply have a national "Take out the trash day."

Just FYI you might want to reconsider your branding. Using the term "Coast Guard" in pretty much any capacity without written authorization is a felony.

In the BBS days persistent storage was expensive. Backups were at best saving something to two different floppy disks. If you got lucky you could rebuild most stuff from files you had shared with friends.

No they should not. They should donate that money to non-profit public utility operators instead.
