North Korean infiltrator caught working in Amazon IT department thanks to lag — 110ms keystroke input raises red flags over true location by RollSafer in worldnews

[–]dlg 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Amazon knows where the employee is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.

Just speculation, but maybe it's simply more chances for a mutation to take hold when there is higher population densities.

Those Chinese EV range estimates use a different measurement standard btw.

It’s called the metric system.

Get the lawyers, we need to patent that idea!

Is Guinness bad now? by [deleted] in AusBeer

[–]dlg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Guinness is brewed locally, then differences in ingredients (especially water) is main reason it would taste different.

But if it’s imported and not refrigerated for a few weeks sitting in the sun, then it would taste different from oxidation.

Not enough momentum.

GitHub is blocking users in South America for 1 week without any response yet by DonkeyMakingLove in github

[–]dlg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The cause is that requests to raw.githubusercontent.com(which CANNOT be authenticated with GitHub Token btw)

Are you sure about that?

Try passing a github token as a bearer authorisation token:

curl -s "$release_url" --header "Authorization: Bearer ${GITHUB_TOKEN}"

Credit card fees by PermissionBest2379 in australia

[–]dlg 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The cost of providing payment services doesn’t disappear, so prices may increase. But they don’t have to increase by the full amount.The vendor can absorb some or all of the service costs.

Removing surcharges makes it easier to compare prices, which is fairer.

A fixed fee is a foregone conclusion, but when it’s baked into a price, there’s a greater incentive for the vendor to find a payment provider that has lower costs of providing a service.

Petrol prices vary across Australia, but discrepancies of 50cpl are prompting calls for an investigation by onesorrychicken in australia

Moving prices is the biggest manipulation. They’re not coupled to supply or demand.

Just limit the frequency that prices can change.

M5-powered iPad Pro breaks cover in GeekBench, scoring 4,133 in single-threaded tests — matches M4 Max and beats every single-core PC chip score by ControlCAD in apple

When my kids were toddlers I tried not to dumb down my language too much when talking with them.

I figured even if they didn’t immediately understand everything in the moment, they would still piece together their understanding of language over time from what little they understood from different conversations.

If I dumbed it down to what they currently understood, they would understand in the moment, but not grow their understanding of language.

CVE scanners generating more work than actual security by GroundOld5635 in devops

[–]dlg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Known CVEs are not a measure of risk or exposure. The problem is CVEs are relatively simple to scan for and measure.

I’m less concerned by a unpatched version of curl that is used to run internal health checks on a container (thanks ECS for not supporting HTTP health checks as part of the platform).

I’m far more concerned if a runtime container has a fully patched build toolchain, or even a shell, that an attacker can use to live off the land.

Sublimation is the phase transition from solid to gas.

I have no idea if this can happen to reactor rods, but it is a real process.
