pooloo1··on FIDO2 security key company publishes results of internal security audit
Having a few vaults with security guards is a great deterrence as the reward is little for the high risk. Having many vaults with security guards draws a bit more attention...
pooloo1··on FIDO2 security key company publishes results of internal security audit
Don't get me wrong I love the idea of physical/hardware security; however, isn't the reason it is so effective right now because it is not mainstream?

They dont have GB internet there, I have family there. =P

> 2. Why would a datacenter increase land value? This isn't a corporate headquarters, it's a datacenter.

Data centers require backbones to provide their services. Becker sits outside the range of most ISP's, in addition to no fiber connection; Monticello being the closest with fiber. I suspect there will be a substantial contract for laying fiber here, thus further increasing value of the land.

pooloo1··on Drafting Only Men for the Military Is Unconstitutional, Judge Rules
Actually a very small number of those who serve utilize the benefits they have earned. Mandatory service would create a whole new environment, and likely eliminate everything listed by OP. So while I wish people could have the opportunities I had serving, it just would not work on a massive scale.
pooloo1··on First release of dav1d, the AV1 decoder
That typo in the first bullet of the "Release" section is really bothersome to me oddly. Less know ones... less know... know... blah
pooloo1··on Arm unveils 7nm Cortex-A76 CPU
At what point does any user stop to complain about their single threaded performance on their handheld device? Quite literally the two devices are incomparable as Apple is a service with proprietary devices. Their selling point is all _their_ software will run similarly anywhere on any device. Android is free of that cycle, thankfully.
pooloo1··on Does Clean Laundry Have Germs?
Its difficult to find any evidence relating to bacteria in water systems, but its certainly not 100% disinfected, or free of bacteria.

The problem with washing machines is they are devices that are rather difficult to disinfect. If you were to take a brand new washer, as in never had water ran through it, you would probably see a drastic reduction in her results. However, after a few uses bacteria from the air, cloths, water, and other sources will eventually end up in the system. If the system is not vented, then wet spots will exist throughout each washing cycle carrying with it any bacteria.

With that said, what I am suggesting is the washing machine is the culprit for bacteria from city water, which is not 100% bacteria free. Add in the fact that High-Efficiency washers use substantially less water then older units, and you have a perfect bacterial soup machine. Older machines used more water, which allowed for further dilution and flushing.

Would the situation be the same if the water was 100% free of bacteria with a brand new washer that would be dried completely after each use?

pooloo1··on Does Clean Laundry Have Germs?
Granted this is a real life study with a large set of data sampling a small number of machines, though likely using the same city water. The culprit might be the city water, or the build up of bacteria in the machines from long term use of the city water?
pooloo1··on Guild Wars 2 distributed spyware in order to detect cheaters
I assume the agreement the user accepted allowed them to do this.

Kind of like walking into Target. They are scanning you even before you enter the doors now days, and tracking everything you do or buy. Even more so if you use their credit card. The reason they can do that is because you agree to their terms...

This is also a reason why I would never log on to a Corporate companies "free WiFi" ...

pooloo1··on Self-driving Uber car kills Arizona woman crossing street
Federal Aviation Administration's Joint Order 7110.65 is exactly what you are talking about. It is the manual that Air Traffic Controllers live by. To include situations that involve diverging aircraft or taxiing instructions and how to handle said situations. The entire manual was practically written from real-world experience.
pooloo1··on My CSS3 Animated Resume
Its a great piece of artwork, and a decent portfolio for a programmer in a sense.

What I felt could use improvement...

One, your photo made me feel as if you were not enthusiastic about work, or what you do. I am not saying take a fake thumbs up picture, but at least have a smile as it does change perception for employers.

Two, it was really slow, and I did not like the "typed" effect. It was great at the start, but carrying it throughout the entire resume was really redundant. I lost interest when the JavaScript comment popped in. Maybe a Pause/Play/Skip feature?

Three, the sentence "I got deep knowledge about," bothers me, and doesn't flow well. I recommend "have vast experience with," or pick your flavor of adjective.

Four, instead of "Thanks for your time!" I recommend, "Thank you for your time!" as it is more personable.

Five, ensure you are consistent with how you present things such as CoffeeScript. Which you identified once as "Coffeescript," and in the following slide as "coffeescript" with a lower-case letter.

Six, you only state you have "deep knowledge" of Laravel/Yii/jQuery/Angular/CoffeeScript/etc and you never provide evidence or proof. Instead of animating HelloWorldMyNameIs code, I recommend showing actual products of that experience.

Just my two cents.

pooloo1··on A list of ways to “Break the Internet” for the 48 hours before the FCC vote
If the US starts selling domain/service packages to customers in the US, what stops them from doing the same to the cross Atlantic fiber lines? Or increasing the costs of services being provided to those lines?
pooloo1··on Comcast is injecting 400+ lines of JavaScript into web pages
I second this, in addition, the injection is not only related to EOS/EOL for modems it is also for when you are approaching your data cap. Which is rather annoying because it actually can halt your gaming or netflix experience oddly. I have had both happen, one I was playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and the game crashed. Since the game itself uses web based tools, for its menu system, upon restarting the client a Comcast injected message popped up warning me I have used 90% of my data cap.

The same thing happened on Netflix ...

pooloo1··on Show HN: 3D Game Programming using bitblting in Windows
Casey goes through the math, programming, and the logical processes of understanding how to build a an engine and a game with that engine. Its extremely deep, and extremely thorough, but it is by far the most extensive and explicit resource on the topic to date.
pooloo1··on Mark Zuckerberg Sued Native Hawaiians for Their Own Land [video]
> so he can fairly pay them

You make it sound as if he is doing them a good deed...

The idea is they don't want their land to be owned by anyone other than the native people... hence the small portions of land split among the indigenous and handed down through generations.

Greed is the primary issue here, and I totally understand their view on it. America has been destroying their island by commercializing a majority of it.

Would it really be the people getting on the judges nerves or the corporation at fault?
pooloo1··on AMC Theaters to MoviePass: Not Welcomed Here
MoviePass would have brought more viewers to their establishment. The customer would now have saved $10 on admission, and can now use that towards concessions. Since their concessions are basically 1000% markup, its pure profit for them.

I don't understand their complaint other than, they didn't think of it first.

pooloo1··on Show HN: Neutron Academy, Google Assistant Powered Learning
It asked, "What are the 3 medals given in the Olympics?"

I replied, "Bronze, Silver, and Gold."

"Incorrect," it said.

Reversing the order was needed.

pooloo1··on US Navy Nuclear Power School Study Materials
High ASVAB scores really is about it, and even that is waivable. After they go through boot camp, they will generally get filtered out through attrition at their respective A-School (training school), which is why the requirements can be waived, and they go to a new job.
pooloo1··on AMD Ryzen Full Lineup Prices, Specs and Clock Speeds Leaked
I think what AMD is really trying to do, or what they should do, is place emphasis on the gaming community and drop any/all enterprise related features, and let Intel keep doing that part.
pooloo1··on Backblaze Hard Drive Stats for 2016
How is the benefit negligible? You are running consumer drives that are not designed to be run at a 100% load 100% of the time. The drives are not meant to be spun up constantly; in fact, many of them have mechanisms designed for them to spin down between use and lower power consumption. It's like complaining about a drag racer not being able to haul a ton of bricks without breaking the transmission on a regular basis.
pooloo1··on Updates to our Google Voice apps
I am a Google Fi user, the Pixel is by far the best phone I have ever owned, and I have zero complaints so far. To contact customer service, if I ever need to, it takes less than 10 seconds. I almost always have service, if I don't have tower service I swap to WiFi and have the same and full capabilities. I dont have any issues as it stands, though I have been using Google products since 1997 and might be a bit of a fanboy... =P
pooloo1··on Adobe Voco 'Photoshop-for-voice' causes concern
We have had Photoshop for decades, and Audio tools for decades. This really isn't news... there is nothing really new here other than Adobe is building audio manipulation tools.
