Yeah, two nearly identical versions (probably only resolution differences) of our logo resulted in 21% & 94% similarity scores

Neat!

Found a minor bug: it seems like if you upload an SVG that it gets internally rendered at a pretty low resolution, I got better results when I converted it to a 512x512 PNG myself and re-uploaded.

Edit: it also should probably mention that it only really works with square logos ;)

Your first point is spot on, and why I'm really annoyed by android phones these days. A simple, and still fully factual, rephrasing of their statements makes it obvious just how bad it is:

> Devices should become outdated every other year.

Huh. Looks like that's been updated to:

> Devices are your personal property. We won’t force you to have anything you don’t want.

How would encoding help? It's already encoded! That repo contains the bits: 0b11001100b11101010b11011100b11000110b11101000b11010010b11011110b11011100b11000010b11011000b11000110b11011000b11000010b11011010b1011100b11000110b11011110b1101101

which is the ASCII _encoding_ of the forbidden string.

Just because these bits are an EBCDIC cp500 encoding of that string doesn't make it less forbidden than an ASCII encoding:

0b100001100b101001000b100101010b100000110b101000110b100010010b100101100b100101010b100000010b100100110b100000110b100100110b100000010b100101000b10010110b100000110b100101100b10010100

Here's how I made both.. shows reasonably (IMO) that encoding is.. nothing.

    > ''.join(bin(c) for c in 'functionalclam.com'.encode('ascii'))
    > # vs this:
    > ''.join(bin(c) for c in 'functionalclam.com'.encode('cp500'))

Anecdotally, this isn't enough to prevent it from triggering in my pocket when I'm a bit sweaty, so I've had to turn that feature off.

DNS66[0] is a decent way to block ads system-wide on android. Free, OSS & doesn't need root.

> For example, Hangout. I can no longer use Hangout using Firefox.

Is that different from Hangouts[0]? That's worked and continues to work in Firefox AFAICT.

So like another toplevel commenter asked. Why build this or use this instead of archive.is? And there are already multiple extensions available for chrome for it ;)

I agree with GP here, that anything billed as "My own internet archive" should be run on my computer. Not some one elses.

Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13598182 and there are already 3 other parts to this series published, most posted here too, just google for those comments ;)

I clicked because I was curious what number of strings guitars were all secretly switching to. Why include such a superfluous detail in that headline? The cynic in me thinks this just clickbait getting harder to identify.

Have keyboards been banned from the cabin too? If not, cardboard + a physical keyboard would do :)

Yup. It's a status symbol that happens to be an office space.

Is it any better than Yaml? All of those statements are true of yaml and it's much more commonly used.

This[0] is meant to be :/

Hah, my sister did something not too different, she wrote a small Flask app hosted on PythonAnywhere[0] for guests to RSVP to her wedding.

Very cool. The code editor looks a lot like scratch[0] but I can't find any references to it. Does it use scratch or was scratch an inspiration?

Neat. I built a similar tool four years ago http://dschep.github.io/license-checker/

Edit: hah, just went to your repo, I see you already found it :)

Yes! that's exactly what I though this would be and was excited as I've been tempted to build that myself.

I don't think that's a recommendation by Github. The site even says "Your unofficial guide to dotfiles on GitHub." and none of the 3 members of the dotfiles org seems to be Github employees. Neat list tho.

It's on F-Droid, so probably: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=yubico&fdid=...

> I think the mission of the US Digital Service is fundamentally non-partisan: we want to make government work better for the American people.

Couldn't most agencies claim the same?

IIRC, Down&Out addressed this. When you looked at another person's Whuffie, it consisted of 4 parts:

  * +Whuffie from users you +Whuffie
  * -Whuffie from users you +Whuffie
  * +Whuffie from users you -Whuffie
  * -Whuffie from users you -Whuffie

> And not talking about the fact that Apple Maps are supported in just one platform and the market share in USA is very different than globally.

Agreed, Apple disqualifies themselves from the race to make the Universal Map.

A minor change that would help (a little) is to replace all spaces in the address bar with %20.

I use bing.com for that :D

And you still can MITM the traffic, you just have to install your MITM's cert on your device you want to MITM.

That is amazing. I'm so glad I can just free feed my cat with out her getting obese, or even fat.
