Is this similar to Enigma decoding - whereby the 'encoding' key was reasonably predictable and not random due to new keys being required to be generated regularly?

I tried to use imgur on mobile to upload a random image today but couldn't[FireFox]

Using FF on my desktop worked fine.

Fond memories of wondering why WiFi occassionally stopped working - eventually correlated it with the use of the microwave.
So a fake deepfake - not sure where this is going to end.
Re:Writing HTML in HTML on Friday June 21, 2019 @05:35AM (#20241100)
There was a time when you had to know how to write HTML - also FTP - oh and Fax letterheaded paper to register a domain

Looking back now - MS Frontpage was way ahead of its time dealing with this abstraction of generating html - you saw the source change which the browser (unfortunatley just ie - but that's what we had) would render when you made an edit

I was intrigued - seems it could be because ships use heavy oil

Ah getting my first modem under linux working - the autovtest was dialling 999999 - I got a call back as soon as I managed to hangup. Explained to the 999 operator I was just testing Linux....
Good Bot :)

Sorry, seriously though, have you noticed this with HN comments? I sometimes get that feeling when browsing here, I really notice it on the comments that immediately flood in when Apple are having a conference....

I remembered this popped up a while ago:

I could find user 'bo1024' has an account on pornhub - not necessarily you and you might not care but certain situations it may be a problem.

You could argue it's security through obscurity - I'd say preventing leaking data.

I agree, maybe the title could be editorialized in this case.

I was browsing the /r/London subreddit so assumed too much context for a global forum

And terrorism could be a conspiracy theory.

How is this mission trying to solve the distribution issues?

Thanks, I have read that. It seems to have a premise that we can only feed all the people on Earth from space. Is farming really dead?

When will this promise be delivered? It's been 40 years and I can imagine Billions spent. Are people still starving?.

>Besides space exploration being fucking awesome

I don't see how space exploration is feeding the starving. It would be fucking awesome if we solved that. It maybe a strawman - couldn't these millions be spent on Earth? Instead we have commercial TV asking us to donate to solve problems on Earth.
