Saving every single page feels a little overwhelming to me, I open lots of pages looking for a piece of information or an answer to a question and many aren't relevant, many others are outright spam.

That said, I use pinboard to save/bookmark links, and I paid for the archival account type which automatically stores the pages I save. There's a handy bookmarklet so saving a page is a one click operation.

Like several other commenters noted, these types of roadside stands are prevalent throughout rural areas of the US. You usually only see them on side roads though, if you're just passing through on the highways you'll miss them.

> but state-actor level threat models shouldn’t be assumed so early

Isn't this a response to _exactly_ that threat? Nation-state election interference activities have been detected around the world.

Complex indeed, it's a multidimensional balancing act.

Both technology and ethics can progress and regress across a huge range of concepts. Too much unexamined progress (of either tech or ethics) in one area can lead to terrible outcomes.

Being able to debate and have these conversations is essential to finding the balance.

I'm reading this as complaint about opinions condemning discussion of certain concepts, which is fair. But to ignore that other concepts face the same type of condemnation in China is... amazing.

You can place a limit on the monthly total of the per creation payments, probably this is to combat this exact scenario.

While the exact language in the quote is perhaps implying something, it only directly says the that the cause is warming during the industrial era. It doesn't provide any direct information about causal factors.

Hard to say which is worse, the intentional lying or the fact that Symantec has repeatedly violated the BR's and root store policies despite the appearance of best efforts not to.

BoringSSL and LibreSSL are two non-trivial projects to improve SSL libraries that started within the last 2 years. They may not be at an ideal state yet, but a lot of work is being done to move the baseline to a better state.

For clarity's sake, they were hacked once and in separate instances had vulnerabilities reported to them by security researchers, which were then fixed.

I don't know if it's more or less secure than other password managers, but it certainly isn't the last thing you should be using.

I think there's something being missed here by a lot of commenters. The title of the blog isn't "What Solves Homelessness", it's "What Helps the Homeless". As in, right here, right now.

It doesn't take systemic or policy level changes to make someone's day/week better.

I think the affiliate model is far better than having ads everywhere on the site. The incentives are far clearer this way. By consistently making good recommendations, they will build a loyal audience, driving further affiliate sales.

Their product is their reputation for good reviews. Destroying that is clearly against their interests.

It certainly does sound like a riff on the "our incredible journey" format.

I bought the last couple of Make bundles and they come with a couple of ebook formats plus PDFs, with HQ PDFs for some titles. I definitely recommend the PDFs, but it's nice to have options.

There are links on the SEC's and FTC's homepages for filing complaints, reporting antitrust violations, submitting tips, and reporting identity theft. There are probably more but I only spent about 30 seconds looking.

Because the pay scale is subjective and the reporter doesn't know the amount before they report. FB and others have guidelines for their bounty programs that leave an upward bound open for severe vulnerabilities.

The argument these comments are making is that this report should qualify in some way for a higher payout.

I'm not arguing for either side here, just noting that the comments that you refer to are fairly reasonable.

I highly doubt that someone who has been writing extensively about the MTA for almost 10 years is "clueless".

You make a good point that the cost per km is exorbitant and needs to be reined in, but comparing the costs of a 10-15 year old system to one that is 100+ years old is probably not the most accurate comparison.

Unless the dev's statement (quoted in TFA) is a blatant lie, this _has_ been discussed multiple times in the past. He also doesn't refuse to discuss the issue, but recommends reading the past discussions before arguing over previously resolved points.

In fact the dev and other users continue to discuss the reasoning for this behavior for quite a lengthy email chain.

Always assume the best of someone until proven otherwise, it saves a lot of stress :)

I imagine that when operating a ~400 ton machine any operation is at least slightly more complicated than just pushing a lever. Especially when combined into a series in a short period of time at night in poor lighting while having rocks thrown at your windshield.

The probability of interception is massively higher than miniscule, see the recent wide scale hijacking of Chinese traffic to DDOS Github or ISPs inserting ads and tracking into responses.

These types of attacks have been hypothetical for a long time, but we're starting to see real world impacts of not using https, and they aren't trivial.

It's not too hard to obfuscate the actual domain for non-technical users, leading to easier phishing. By only displaying the actual domain name, it's much easier for people to see that they aren't on the site they expect to be.

IMO, the tradeoff of reducing phishing effectiveness is worth the small amount of additional effort needed to find this bug.

For a good read on another somewhat overlooked seismic zone: http://idlewords.com/2015/07/confronting_new_madrid.htm

Most people don't think of the midwest/great plains states as being seismically active, but they're home to some of the most geologically interesting history in the United States.

I stand at least partially corrected, that certainly is some vague phrasing. It could be anything from installer files to the whole OS.

Windows 10 isn't released yet, so there's no way that I'm aware of for it to download Windows 10 in the background.

I wonder what (if any) legislation currently regulates extra-terrestrial mineral rights. Is Curiosity squatting on someone's claim or staking its own?

Jokes aside, mineral rights have been a contentious issue for centuries. What kind of regulations are companies like Planetary Resources dealing with?

Depends if you're defining that as someone who has manually run a cURL command or as someone who has used an app/hardware that uses cURL "behind the scenes". If you use the latter I would say 1 billion might be a significant underestimate.

Games like Pharoah (a direct descendant of the Caesar series) also had agent modeling in the late 90's where you could see what the agents were doing. That said, the computing power and storage capacities of the time limited the set of possible animations. The LOD and graphics are incremental improvements on a feature that has existed for decades (not to say they aren't welcome improvements).

Metafilter has a one-time fee ($5).

Pinboard does this IIRC.
