Ah.. Yes, but that will leave anyone that has somehow gotten access to my mail to suddenly have access to all my accounts then, wouldn't it?

Honestly curious, what should we use?

Behavior like that needs to come with a huge warning label.

It would be trivial for any man-in-the-middle to block https and server http.

Never heard of it. Is it related?

I believe this is the kickstarter video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuWCEpcTbww

I find that, disappointingly, it often takes a complicated game mechanism for the game to keep being interesting over multiple play througs.

There are several games that are not too complicated, that also has a charm, but necessarily, more complicated mechanism makes for more variable play.

I feel guilty saying I was looking for this...

Superman does good, Facebook's doing well.

I read up on this when visiting in November. Apparently, only US residents can book with Airbnb in Cuba.

As someone above has already said.

To do this, you'd need to compromise or convince a trusted timestamping authority to sign your signing request with an old date.

Yeah. And ending up playing a game of "useful or malware"

You get problems like this, but with the amount of overlap in time the different versions provide, with regards to security updates, I'd say its far from unreasonable that one should be able to move over to the next version before stuff like this becomes a problem.

If you go to this[1] page and click "View All", you'll see that it's "Verdana" or "Tahoma", two pretty common web fonts, that are likely to be the culprit.

There are solutions though[1]

Ah, yes.

If you look at the definition on Wikipedia[1], you can see that a normal number, per definition, is base agnostic.

One can argue that its more a typographic issue than a font issue.

The author probably did see a "pi", but should have been using an embedded font, or even better, the unicode "GREEK SMALL LETTER PI", π.

Maybe a bit off topic, but I couldn't find any info on the origin of the name "Molly". Am I guessing correctly that it has something to do with this[1] anecdote?

> This lot also includes a commemorative 3D-printed Babylonian styled tablet containing the password to a private Github repository where the buyer may access the full source of the Hello World algorithm and an image of the lot.

Too bad it's private. It would suck to have to rethink that algorithm from scratch...

How would that help? The obvious solution would be to have strict corridors (which it sounds like they had in theory) for drones.

Indeed. I own Hue bulbs, and the only reason I've bought more, after my initial purchase, is because they have an API that let other systems control my lights.

Currently, I'm using home assistant (https://home-assistant.io/) for controlling the lights, and if I ever buy other lights, they'd be controlled from there as well.

What should be interesting now is to wait and see if they lock down the API as well...

Also probably a lot better than to make MemTest86 do all sorts of network stuff.

There would most definitely be a performance hit, but you would notice.

Personally I'm very happy with ConnectBot for Android. I'd like to know why he considers this a better option.

Not a typo, but maybe a bit vague. I meant to say that the SI units both are dependant on the real world kilogram object.

There are seven so called "base units" defined in the SI; meter, second, mol, ampere, kelvin, candela and kilogram [1].

Of these, mole and kilogram are dependent of the kilogram.

Things you can't do with ZFS:

- Use it together with GPL-licensed software

Incidentally, what you would get for $1 in year zero would differ hugely from what you'd get today.

That was _seriously_ cool!

I tried browsing through the paper, but I'm still not entirely sure on how real-time this is. Are they using only a smartphone as both capture and rendering hardware?

Yes, but they could just start signing the mail. There's no reason to encrypt the content if proof of origin is what they want to provide.
