Sounds like there is a market for a novel product so that to Chinese people your service is fast as if inside China, but your infrastructure is actually outside. Kind of like a bridge over the Great Firewall, but just for a specific company

Apple does not allow your iOS iCloud data to be encrypted in a manner where Apple cannot access it. As is alluded to in this article. Privacy advocates and privacy caring IT specialists have repeatedly asked Apple to offer such an option, b

It's funny to me that obviously the "First-past-the-post" voting system is reason for so much problems in the US, from amplified corporate influence to a president who has very little support with the public. Why don't y

Could you provide a source for your claim that apps have access to location history data?

I think there is no technical hurdle that is stopping browser manufacturers from downloading the bytecode and showing a disassembled view of it. Plus nothing is stopping us from popularizing a trend where everybody puts a publicly discovera

It's a randomized number per original card. Every merchant sees the same number. According to some other poster, if you have several devices (like an iPhone and an Apple Watch), then you get a new number for each device. So, not only c

I doubt the next Safari also addresses browser fingerprinting. Otherwise, Apple would have mentioned it. Most likely, ad networks will adopt browser fingerprinting over the next few months, and then Apple will introduce some solution to tha

That's actually not how ApplePay works. You get a new randomized credit card number, but only once. Shops can still track you by checking for the number. You can check that yourself by looking at receipts when you pay with ApplePay - e

Well, in that case the most powerful man in the world really believes the words of a fake conspiracy theorist character . Which doesn't make it much better, doesn't it?

Sorry to break it to you, but Trump is a nutty conspiracy theorist. Look at who he believes in: Alex Jones for one.

That's interesting. I wonder whether some artists are already exploiting this by creating tracks with names such as "a random song" and "some music"?

Since he skipped bail for something which is now dropped, doesn't that move back up and nullify his wanted status as well? Or is there a process that he could now start, like "remove my wanted status because there is no point now&

So what was the problem? Why couldn't we add more and more more things to build it slowly into a more general AI?

I disagree. Saying "this claim is more than a little ridiculous" also contains the connotation that the speaker must be out of his mind. And in case, we're doing a meta discussion on rhetorical semantics now, which is besides

You don't have to program to be positively affected by my suggested change. You could be just a user of an app that currently does not exist on the iPad, or the user of a feature that does not exist. Would you like to group all your fi

I think the reason why the iPad is down while the Mac is up in the market is that it is not a full computer. My definition of a full computer is that I (1) can write software on the device itself that (2) can do everything you could imagine

Fwiw, there is an untrue statement in the article: "With 1969 LEGO elements the 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V rockets its way into LEGO Ideas history as the tallest LEGO Ideas set, as well as the one containing most elements." The la

Did you add a blink command or something similar? On my terminal, the whole screen is constantly showing then hiding then showing again in 1 second intervals. Mac OS X 10.6.8, Terminal 2.1.2.

If you're assigning blame, don't forget Nokia's board of directors at that time, who elected Elop and started that whole mess.

Yes. I think there are multiple scales to give words or pairs bonus points on: - there is also a moral outrage scale where you want at least one word to be on (if one word of the pair was about sex and the other one was about the church, th

By the way, that's exactly how the Dolby 3D system works. You could try this out just with their standard glasses. Maybe you would have to create custom ones with more pronounced frequency differences, though. https://en.wik

This is utterly unacceptable. Time for the electorate to put their foot down and set an example by disbanding the entire force and replace it with a new one. But guess what the electorate will say? "They only came for the Socialists. I

I agree such a change is difficult, but I believe it's difficult precisely because it's currently not very democratic. Deeply direct democracy is self-sustaining - people would agree to move over to a new system because it would g

I refer to the fact that there is a regulation that allows a compensation cap and if there are no takers, call the cops. Remove that regulation and United would have to figure out a different way - like offer more money or face the threat o

Ironically, it's regulations that brought us this mess. Specifically that an airline is allowed to cap bump compensations at $1300. Without that cap, there would have been takers and no need for violence. Really free markets would have

I think the problem is much deeper than that. There is not enough of a democratic process in the EU. It would have benefitted from an approach with much more direct democracy. Because then there is no favoritism, and people realize that the
