> probably fine for your throw-away accounts

interesting, very interesting, because these could trivially be made uber-secure just by having a larger word list.


NAN, not NaN. NaN is parent's editorialization or muscle memory.

Oh; I thought maybe it just didn’t have an 802 type name so it might have just been a little joke.

Anyway, good to know we can use our NAN signal to send signal NaNs!


so many erroneous statements in this game. also it's not much of a "game", is it.

Ya, I'd appreciate pointers if there are errors :)

Care to explain where are the errors?

so much at stake here, such an understated headline. i'm surprised this is bloomberg.

ooh, given the poster's entire business is at risk here, he probably should have hired a PR firm. this tweet reflects quite poorly on them.

bit of an absolutist argument in california. can't speak to the UK.

it's obviously safer (for cyclists) for taxis or even carpools to drop off and pick up at the far right, ie into the bike lane. i think we can generally consider it to be "parking" not "driving" and thus within the letter of the law as well. (parking is explicitly allowed.)

we know this very well, and that's why there are curb-separated lanes and they tried a center lane on van ness for awhile.

it just generally sucks to share bikes and cars and we have to live with compromises.


I don't believe there is a country in the world, where parking on bike lanes is explicitly allowed. Merging before turns and stops for drop/pickup/load/unload sure. But not parking.

CVC 21209.a.1

huh i didn't know about a specific bike lane law. but i do know the law that right turns must be taken as "close as practicable" to the right side of the roadway. plus there's the hint of the dashed line. Sneaking into the extra space to the right isn't a shortcut -- it's required by law, ie even without a bike lane.

in california, which is where the incident in TFA occurred.


6 million. is that a lot? it's too bad they don't tell us.

but i think based on their statement that north of 90% of the buying repos were terminated by github, i'd say there would be very very many more fake stars without any github intervention.

i guess i just wish they hadn't made the first words of the article "Six million fake stars" without putting that into scale.


But can it produce magenta?

Not every color has a corresponding wavelength, rather a combination of wavelengths.

Magenta is the Doom of colour lasers by the look of it.

Not sure if you read the announcement closely:

this service is batteries included. SES is not.
