  • The government knows who you are. They know your age, your address and know you exist (probably).

    You go to a site that requires ages verification. You say:please verify me with the government portal. You go to that portal to get a temporary id code to give to the site. The website says to the gov portal give me the name and age of the user with this temp ID. You approve that access. Portal sends age (or an is over 16/18/21 etc flag) to the site.

    • Gov portal doesn't need to know who the site is.
    • You don't provide a unique ID to the website, just a temporary one.
    • as if codes are temporary, you must have access to the id/login now, not just at some point
    • Site only gets the data you approve/it requested,.not everything.

    The process can do with some streamlining, but should work in practice?

  • Can you just move that product to a new URL? What happens?

  • They are comparing USA pixel users with worldwide graphene users...

    The world is more than the USA

  • Yeh, that's crazy maths....

  • I think it, or derrivative methods are used more than you think, but aren't talked about because torrenting has a bad rep.

    I believe windows update and World of Warcraft either do or did use p2p downloads for updates

  • I once went to a store and they had put the pins for their security tags through the shells of their expensive waterproof coats.....

  • Even the paper ones often use plastics in the glue apparently?

  • And we recently discovered a clump of dark matter big enough to form a gravitational lens - we could actually see it curving light.

    This helps show that dark matter isn't evenly distributed, it's not that we just need to add a multiplier to some equation; it's something that 'exists'.

  • My problem is the lack of control. They tend to be digital devices, not analog, so I always find myself wanting a heat level between settings...

  • More infuriating is media's insistence to measure electrical energy cost changes in comparison to some average user instead of just giving the unit price change, useless!

  • They are awesome - for some games.

    Great to have both!

  • It's an island 14x8km size. You don't need a car.

  • I stand corrected then! TIL

  • It's a voice chat server. That's all it does. ~You can't post images, GIFs etc.~

    Fine for if you just need voice, but good luck getting people away from discord.

    (Used it for WoW before discord)

  • Especially if you have slow internet

  • I think north America only switched this last weekend?

    Had a non standard difference last week.

  • Depends how much time the hyperspace bypass saves.

  • Please! One of mine is really flakey

  • The company I work for is an Azure shop. However, our provider for customer 2fa tokens uses AWS.... So still in trouble.

    The forest center near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area
