His history of the AK-47, "The Gun", is also an excellent read. I actually had no idea he was a war reporter as well.

Anymore info on this? Is it in house hardware?

I just don't think there was a reason not to. Obviously these skimmers have been completely successful and I doubt even Krebs could make a dent in that.

I hadn't either. Kind of off topic but the membership of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization[1] which Somailand is a member is pretty interesting reading.

They even specify using a Raspberry Pi in their documentation. I must think of a way to use this.

Is anything a true meritocracy?

"doesn't matter in what manner was it spoken"

It's frustrating when people say this over and over. It certainly matters when the way it was spoken was antagonistic and rude. And I don't believe as this person states is an issue of cultural relativism, just a jerk wanting to be a jerk.

That movie had a terrible marketing campaign but I thought it was a really good sci-fi movie.

> So they fired him, right? Nope. He’s still there, and on LinkedIn he currently identifies his profession as “hacker.”

Oh no, a "hacker". He's definitely nefarious then.

Also the lovely 623 E. 68th Street, NYC in the East River.

It is so incredibly new though, not having major breakthroughs isn't too surprising. I don't think anyone is expecting it to replace research labs.

Why did he have Lysol in an IV though?! Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannulated_cow

I had a college professor specifically mention he would love if everyone went on and gave him honest reviews because he was able to get them immediately after the class ended (the feedback cards via the university were 2-3 months behind the semester).

That's crazy. She's just documenting her reality. I'm glad she "won" in the end.

Having been to Revel a few times, it always struck me how just insane the place was built. Giant, 3-4 story escalators, lots of cramped rooms with towering slots, maze like unlike any other casino.

But not a lack of psychological addiction.

Stomach, esophagus, and pancreas cancers are all common for people who dip. The chemical difference between smokeless tobacco and marijuana in food is probably a lot different though.

Reminds me of techniques used to detect CRT radiation to rebuild what is being displayed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Eck_phreaking

Could you be any more condescending?

Yup that can happen. But I very much think that is the aberration and not the norm. The amount of creepy guys I've met in my life outweighs the people who want to be offended by everything.

On the internet sometimes it feels pretty even though...

Most women don't want to deal with your desire for a "romantic relationship" though.

"Hey, whatcha working on? Need any help?" is different then "act like you need his expert lessons in how to hack." It is a lot about tone and sincerity.

Take away a person's right to vote and in a democracy they're no long part of society.

This has a claim of 1.9 million km in a 2006 Silverado with original engine and transmission. [1] Honestly I'm less surprised about an engine going that distance than the transmission, it has so many moving parts.

His car did 800,000+ km with the same engine and transmission? That's possible?!

Interesting I've been doing podcasts during my drives but never thought about Khan Academy. You can get away with not seeing anything they put on the screen or draw on a whiteboard? Have you had success with just listening to all the courses?

True, if you assume it was only between dropping the bombs or full scale invasion though. In the end we'll never know I guess.

Which was traded for Japanese civilians though, no?

Thanks for the links.
