Except the very thing you are posting from wouldn't exist without NASA. https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/infog... A lot of technology is from NASA itself. PS: that's why USA is rich, everything from NASA is licensed for earnings. Defunding NASA would mean there would be a lot less of those earnings, eventually.

A Raspberry Pi setup could live in a space about as big as a cell phone, or credit card with the zero version. They're cheap, easy to hide and easy to deploy, except maybe electric power to the board. I'm just surprised it took until now for someone to do it.

Metaphor then: "We have too many transactions, so we simply can't afford to keep track of bank/debit/credit card fraud."

That's the example given in the summary. Monetary transactions do have fraud yes, and they try to police it, but sometimes they just don't or can't notice.

So in other words, their robots.txt should follow their terms of service, and block Google completely. Which would be monetarily committing suicide, because then they would never get any hits from Google ever again. Superb planning on their part, they just want free money Google.

When I am forced to use Windows for whatever reason, this is my antivirus:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-... Second party kind of but recommended by Microsoft.

There's a setting where you can make it submit hashes to VirusTotal for their score (0 is best/undetected, 1 might be a false positive, anything higher you should scan manually), and be able to watch processes doing their thing including sorting by disk usage, GPU usage and CPU usage, thereby making it an indirect antivirus.

https://www.virustotal.com/ if you never used this it just puts most of antivirus software against a file you upload/link.

A VPN if you want it too, you can have both at once https://docs.pi-hole.net/guide...

64 cores should be enough for everybody

You will run into issues where Visa, Mastercard et al. will push their agenda on you and basically be able to say "Do/Stop doing X or you can't process Visa/Mastercard sales anymore." They've done this but it's really rare and only for specific things, usually something really legally dubious or with Adult content. So no, you can't make it like PayPal but process with more freedom if you plan to support credit/debit cards.

This happened with Patreon in 2018: https://www.vice.com/en_us/art...

Just tested it on a VM, remove pulseaudio, then install apulse, then right click all firefox shortcuts you have/make to change firefox %u shortcuts to apulse firefox %u, and sound works. Might need to be done with other programs but it's really easy otherwise: apulse [original program].

Also alsamixer is your volume control now, make a shortcut for that

What distribution are you using? I just booted up both the Xubuntu 19.04 live cd and Ubuntu 19.04 live cd, and it's letting me remove Pulseaudio, no questions asked. It is also not required on Arch Linux, and Gentoo as the anon confirmed.

If you want to try it, open the terminal and if you are a Debian/Ubuntu based distro, sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio

and then reboot when it's done. I did notice that it would remove ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop-minimal if you are on the base Ubuntu distro, but you could still do it on Xubuntu no problem.

Xubuntu:
apt-get autoremove pulseaudio
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
    libpulsedsp libspeexdsp1 pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
    pulseaudio-utils rtkit
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 6 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 5412 kB disk space will be freed.

My point is: https://packages.ubuntu.com/di... This doesn't require Pulseaudio in the 4 distros I've looked at

Not well, but it will be done. Maybe. Somewhat. Horribly too.

This is a problem quantum computers will create, and while they're not that powerful to break current encryption, yet, there's a number of algorithms that do not do one of the big 3 currently used algorithms for encryption, but quantum computers would easily solve: integer prime factorization, or "the discrete logarithm problem or the elliptic-curve discrete logarithm problem."

So the answer to that question would be one of the algorithms that would be similar to quantum resistant algorithms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... most of them would be here, but if you need more info than that just search for quantum resistant encryption, which is an ongoing experimenting, inventing and development process for when quantum computers get powerful enough.

A hosts blocking mechanism isn't going to work when the website and ads use the same origin i.e hosting and domain; this is why an ad blocker has to be run in the browser, so it can remove ads by domain as well as HTML elements, classes and ids (if you don't believe me, the official Youtube app on Android is already immune to this, go ahead and check for yourself). Ad servers can and will eventually do this if it's done in the wild enough.

I think it is more like this:

X brand Y product is sold on Z page on Amazon.

3rd party seller puts item on Z page. It's not X brand, either blatantly or is a counterfeit, or faulty some other similar reason. Z page gets angry reviews of fake/crap products, and Amazon loses money and confidence. So to keep confidence on Y product, they want to figure out who is counterfeiting and why, does test for a few popular Y products on Z page before a bigger rollout and ban.

And now we're at why the article exists.

This is my guess, and I have been burned with a fake micro SD card that looked just like the real one, but anything above 4GB gets corrupted because it's just a 4GB card that clones data 16 times to make it seem like it works as a 64GB card.
