I think universal end-to-end encryption is an all-or-nothing proposition. You can't sell it by saying, "It's secure, except when it isn't." It's also a slippery slope to establish a key escrow for the governmen

I use SpamAssassin in a prequeue SMTP proxy and it works pretty well, but it's nearly the last check after many other lightweight tests.

I've run mail servers for decades without configuring them and have never had issues. Reputation is probably the most important (note that my domains and even some of my servers were online before these technologies existed) and it&#x2

You're projecting your ire on the wrong person. I ride 20+ miles daily in large city with outdated, poorly maintained infrastructure for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. I'm just trying to get to work, not break any speed

The tragedy of Rikers Island is that it's inhumane to everyone involved, guilty or not. I absolutely feel empathetic to all of them. It's disingenuous to suggest that it's a problem only because some of them might be innocent

Every fact in this story is presented in a way to support the author's premise, and there are no trustworthy narrators here. If you remove the emotion, an equally plausible scenario is that he rode past a school bus that had stopped to

The severity of his own injuries indicates that he might have been going too fast for the conditions (whether or not he was exceeding the speed limit, which nobody can confirm conclusively). In his version, "It was like he fell out of

Apple has been a driving force for better UI in a number of areas, but some of their choices are baffling. Even in this page, the "Contrast" section uses a large black header, but a small grey font on a white background for the co

I learned how to touch type before home computers were commonplace, so I get frustrated when I can't close my eyes and type what I'm thinking. Maybe I'm a dying breed. I've had laptops with such difficult keyboards that

The keyboard's alright, but the spongy wrist pad is challenging to keep clean. I like the ergonomics of the mouse, but it's a dirt collector. They need to find a new material for the bottom that doesn't accumulate grit. The b

You definitely don't want to name the alias 'say' because there's already an OS X command by that name. In fact, if you both have Macs and want to have some fun, create accounts for each other and use the 'say'

What you don't understand is that Bill Gates is from the future. I don't wanna talk about time travel shit. Cause if we start talking about it, then we're gonna be here all day talking about it, making diagrams with straws. I

My guess is that Netflix couldn't negotiate agreements for a lot of the content that makes the service attractive without relenting on DRM. We'll know when Netflix turns evil, because it will force you to sit through commercials a

Is it correct to say that POST is not idempotent? Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't. Maybe it would be more accurate to say there's no guarantee that it's always idempotent.

Is that a good thing, though? I'm not a gamer, and there are times when I take a break from YouTube and Reddit because it can be difficult to discover new content without the results being dominated by gaming (especially Minecraft). To

Sometimes I think of Youtube as a modern Library of Alexandria[1], a repository of knowledge that could only exist through patronage and containing a sizable amount of resources that are valuable in their uniqueness. A failed YouTube would

Agree with the first paragraph, but in the second I don't see how requiring a periodic reboot is a solution. Your "service needed" light is a "Case closed, WON'T FIX" message made real.

The move to deprecate HTTP is solely inspired by the need to authenticate online communication. It's necessary to protect speech on the web, because it makes it harder to tamper with the content in transit. Your ISP shouldn't be

That's true if you're trying to save money by putting a ton of domains behind a single wildcard cert using a single private key. But there are security advantages to using multiple wildcard certs based on different private keys. O

I'm excited about this, too, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I can't connect a bluetooth keyboard to my Lumia 920, or treat it as a USB mass storage device, or mount a thumb drive in its USB port, etc. Why should I belie

I don't understand why the genre matters. Most of the problems with shuffle play go away if you prune the songs you don't like out of your collection. True randomness is fine if you follow a few basic principles: 1. Don't rep

There's more to the Internet than HTTP, though. I'd be a lot happier if this effort were being invested in improving DNS so that other services could benefit.

You might benefit from the inverted method and using a normal teaspoon to add the grounds and stir, instead of using the included accessories (I never use the funnel, and the stirring paddle is just...weird).

by wampus 11y ago
That's why I qualified it with "a particular roast." But I probably should have added another factor: amount of grounds. I've found the manufacturer's recommendation of two scoops to be ridiculously strong, but mayb

by wampus 11y ago
The nicest thing about the inverted method is the consistency of results, because nothing's leaking out during steeping. Still, I hesitate to recommend it to some people, not because it's difficult, but because I know they might u

That's a good point. If you wash it immediately after use, you can push the plunger all of the way into the cylinder (with the filter cap off) until it pops out the other end. It will spin freely and not put any pressure on the cylinde

I use my AeroPress twice a day, every day and love it. But the article is mistaken in calling it espresso. It's not even close, although someone has rigged one to produce espresso[1]. And don't let the article fool you, there are

Same here. I never use water over 180 degrees Farenheit and never put it in the dishwasher.
