Latency is a much larger problem.
TeHCrAzY··on Gmail in personal search results
But do you really think Google can't correlate between IP address, browser signature and your account?
TeHCrAzY··on Do you check HTTPS certificates in your API clients?
That's exactly how it works in C# (.NET in general), and I would take a fairly large bet that's exactly the same in Java. It seems like a regression (when thinking on terms of lower level --> higher level language movement).
TeHCrAzY··on $10 In-N-Out delivery to anywhere in SF
Evbn, you seem to be hellbanned, and your comment history makes things look (to me!) that its probably unjustified or a mistake. Email pg!

My TV has a USB port for firmware updates ;)
TeHCrAzY··on ASP.NET MVC, Web API, Razor and Open Source
Its automatic. If it can't get the source, it will use its built in decompiler, and produce surprisingly readable source anyway (I force it to this mode by default, due to a flaky internet connection).

TeHCrAzY··on Microsoft's Azure cloud down and out for 8 hours
Can you explain what your problem is? Azure will automatically restart instances that are dead afaik (unless you are saying that the automatic restarting was broken as well?).
TeHCrAzY··on Microsoft's Azure cloud down and out for 8 hours
Weird, we have a couple of respectable (80+ requests per second) services running on azure in the SE asia zone, and I can't see any problems at all.

That said, we only rely on table storage and our instance count is mostly static.

My guess would be the sheer volume of commits would be unmanageable unless the process was somehow automated
TeHCrAzY··on Tesla: Not so easily bricked
You can go look it up on wikipeadia; but in summary, the battery relies on a chemical reaction to produce electricity. After a certain discharge point, the chemical reaction is irreversibly changed, and can no longer be recharged.
TeHCrAzY··on Sorry, this blog post is not available in your country.

The thing is an overly sensitive, badly configured setup; but still troublesome?

I'd like to see some references or research to back up your comment. As it stands, I down-voted you, as I don't think you are adding valuable content: I would happily reverse my down-vote if you can produce even a small amount of evidence for this, that can be further discussed and critiqued.
TeHCrAzY··on Google now tells you your IP when you ask it in search
Internode in Australia defaults to IPV6 for Google. Your isp may do the same?
TeHCrAzY··on Isaac Asimov on Security Theatre.
I would say most,in both cases (at least in Australia). My experiences have never bought me across non-functional versions of either.

I'm ignoring the argument here, but I don't think any modern(ish) car actually has any blind spots if you set up your mirrors correctly.

No, but I think you can put forward that if the transfer speed is reduced in direct response to your usage, that the "unlimited" portion of the advertising clearly no-longer applies.
TeHCrAzY··on Humble Bundle #3 is Live
They seem to have cottoned on to this: if enter a price of less than a dollar, you need to fill out a re-captcha.
