I get what you're trying to say, but the paperwork isn't just to not get arrested. It's also to make sure your rocket doesn't flatten a building when it comes down uncontrolled, doesn't hit an airplane on the way

That stink has been etched into my mind ever since a night ten years ago when I spent an hour waiting for someone at a Shanghai subway station that was within wafting distance of a stinky tofu stand. I still have no idea how that stall owne

He is free to voice his displeasure at sharing a platform with an ill-informed blowhard spouting dangerous bullshit out of every orifice. Spotify has no obligation to platform Rogan, but they choose to tie their flag to his mast, and I for

The reason it's "better" for international transfers is because it has decided to ditch all legal and financial safeguards that have been introduced, often with good reason, in regular banking. From a technical standpoint, cr

STM32F7 with a Cortex M7. I don't think they've announced what they are moving to, except that it's a variant with better availability.

You hit on a point that bothers me in all the discussions of cryptocurrency. Not having access to banks is a real issue; quicker bank transfers a less critical, but still real concern. Neither of these need cryptocurrency to be solved, and

Existing dashboards showed the services as being up, since the frontends worked fine - as long as you did not try to authenticate.

A Python fork bomb was my first major achievement in college. Four lines of code took out a server. I'd like to claim it was a great achievement in hacking but nope, just trying to grok concurrency and failing hard.

They are far from 90% of the quality. The production standards at Lego are decades ahead of anything a Chinese company has produced so far in terms of tolerances, durability and quality control.

What would be the point? It won't teach the perpetrator not to commit the same crime again. Malice only breeds malice. If it is deterrence, you're too late as the act has already been done; you may argue that it might stop others
