If only there was some sort of "user network" which could just be some sort of distributed posting service where a rotating group of companies would host the posts (more than one host for both fault tolerance and avoiding a single

No it would not have crashed because it wouldn't have the run-away trim problem that prevented pilot recovery from the "stall". Trim is something that is only really needed for humans who hold onto sticks to fly.

You only end up with length issues if you don't use a big enough pad. Just use a one-time pad that is uncountably infinite in length and require messages to be at most countably infinite in length. Sure you burn infinite bits on each m

Since recording can sometimes be a crime, does this mean the police can confiscate the phone off any bystanders because it may be evidence of such a crime?

The thing is, these "fans" are not their target demographic, so they really don't care. Nintendo tends to focus on people that play their games for fun, and less on people that turn it into a serious hobby or try to build it

You may have been in the heavy ads group from some sort of A/B experiment on how the number of ads they show affects engagement. YouTube runs these sorts of experiments all the time to improve "metrics". I've heard that

It turns out a good fitting mask is essential for comfort. I had a problem with masks being hard to breathe in and fogging up my glasses. Then I found a good set of N95 masks that have a real solid fit. It's loose and flexible enough t

Depends on the "ad product" being sold. For "I'll pay you to put this image on the page" ads you might not need JavaScript. For "I'll pay you if someone clicks on the ad" it might also be possible. Fo

Except for the part where certain accounts would need to be hardcoded instead of dependent on the advertiser. Moving money is probably the most audited part of any code base and something like that would be a big red flag.

I don't even understand the point of the "feature" as described in the article. Dropping bids (possibly including the second highest bidder), sure, that happens all the time when the creative is deemed inappropriate for the w

Nature tends to get stuck in local optimums where things are "good enough". For reference see the recurrent laryngeal nerve, the "backwards" eye in many animals (though not octopuses or their relatives). We can do better

It's well documented that the behavior of geeky men discourages women who are interested in such hobbies and fields, so I'm not sure that it is entirely ridiculous for some people to assume that is intentional. I at least try to n

Interesting that you felt the need to sexualize the girls who were interested in computers. They are people, not objects for your pleasure. If your comment even remotely reflects your attitude towards them, then you might as well have been

Google doesn't control the w3c. And Google Chrome is severely limited in what they can push due to threatened/actual anti-trust litigation. Their whole "privacy sandbox" thing is being done under the scrutiny of quite a

And what of those kids whose parents do not prepare them? Are they to be left behind? I view the responsibility of schools to provide at least the minimum needed for graduates to be contributing members of society. That means they need di

I don't think they idea that children might be "troubled" by reading a book is what people are upset about. I think the fact that someone is using the possibility to that children may be "troubled" (in some undefi

So for new buildings they should include wells for ground source heat pumps? That sounds reasonable to me. It's much easier to include during initial construction than try to add it later.

You've broken capitalism. One of the principal assumptions of capitalism is a "rational informed consumer". Without advertising consumers will be even less informed. New companies entering a market will be unable to compete w

Codons are an (effectively arbitrary) grouping of 3 consecutive nucleic acid bases that ribosomes can translate into a amino acid when building a protein. Technically any combination of 3 consecutive bases could be considered a codon, howev

I also have an issue with organic and natural* as well, but that's not exactly on topic. If prefer people to use words that mean things. The article wasn't even about processed foods so much as how there is a nutritional model tha

Is there something about being made in a factory that makes things unhealthy? Are all things that are made in a factory unhealthy (factory farming, factory packaged salads, etc). Anyway, the article was not about any of that. It was about a

Can we stop using the term "processed foods"? It's a term so broad as to lose all meaning. Processed foods include anything cooked using any method and processes such as pasteurization and fermentation. Other than fruits and

Supposedly the Chrome safe browsing service crawls the web looking for malware. Since that's focused on finding malware they likely make it look like a normal user in terms of user agent and IP address, so it can probably detect these

You ask the waiter for a Coke, they ask you if you want Pepsi instead (because they get kickbacks to sell Pepsi). Is that appropriate behavior for a restaurant? How much is Google charging you for your searches? I get them for free. Sure, s

If there was no pivot, then there wouldn't have been an API for getting a unique identifier for this device in the first place. Given that they only recently neutered this API, that seems like a pivot. If you consider that this change

To be fair, Apple has improved it's privacy story (at least with regards to noon-Apple entities. They stopped giving every app on your phone the same ID for targeting/tracking (Android may follow, eventually). This pissed off Face
