I'm surprised to see Coinbase as a founding member. I wonder if they'll allow direct conversions between Libra and other cryptocurrencies. It's interesting to note that there aren't any device manufacturers as members. N

Rather than straight cash, using it as a more-secure credit card would be enough to sign me up. It would prevent card skimmers, people copying numbers, etc. They could generate one-time card numbers for online purchases at existing merchant

It's widely understood how the wake-word system works. You can monitor how much data is being uploaded and when. So no, it's not possible to just stream everything you say undetected.

Fixing a simple bug in your own software is an order of magnitude faster than doing it in someone else's codebase. Make no mistake, it would be cheaper for them to fix it themselves than guide someone else through a paired-programming

I think you're ignoring that hiring someone onto your team takes a long time and significant effort. Say you're allowed to add one person to your team. You interview 50 people and decide on the best candidate. Then you spend the n

On the questions of funding, in the US, interstates are federally funded while local roads are state/city-funded. That's why the interstate system has been so successful compared to highway systems that are more locally-funded, eg

I'm trying to think when exactly the GUI was updated. I think somewhere around Vista. You can just check "use all my monitors for the remote session" in the Display tab. I'll admit that with a triple-monitor setup, I&#x2

As far as SharePoint goes, the current versions should work just as well (usually better) in Chrome. Should be mostly on par since the 2013 release. The biggest feature difference for SharePoint cross-browser has historically been with the

To clarify, that's to say it's a response by an engineer, but NOT a Google engineer who was involved with YouTube.

Microsoft and Google exist in a bit of a cold war. They don't want to destroy each other in court. You can't just take free shots and not expect a response.

I haven't used HyperV in a while. I rarely connected to VMs via the hyperv console, just for installations or cases where windows wasn't booting properly. I use MSTSC (MS Terminal Services Client). That has supported multimonitor

You can say you get the same result, yes. However this does it in a very different way. It's linking to the host OS's OS. It's not a VHD with a separate windows installation. That makes it quite a bit more lightweight. You do

They mention the example of browsing to a web page. Not quite a fully fledged remote execution bug but close enough. I think what they're really saying is they're aware of remote execution cases. An example of that might be a web

Yea, it can be a pain. Certainly you'll improve at it over time. While strength always helps, especially with getting tired, I do think this is primarily a balance/timing skill. That said, with experience a couple things also miti

Hey sorry I didn't check for follow-up comments. Hopefully you still see this. On Nov 27th, I watched the International Joint Hearing with Richard Allan, Facebook’s vice-president of policy solutions. It was a couple hours long and of

That said, hosting providers who historically ran services on only their own hardware could certainly be load-balancing to cloud hosting providers. This is certainly not what the comment you responded to implies. However, it is something I&

I'm not convinced the US will be passing much of anything in the next two-years. Passing pro-privacy regulation? Seems very unlikely to me. Microsoft should engage with Canada and the EU where technology/privacy regulation is gain

Writing tests for error handling can be a pain. You write your product code to be as robust as possible but it isn't always clear how to trigger the error conditions you can detect. This is especially true with integration tests.

Apartments could have a central robot kitchen and dumb waiters to send it up. Would be nice and easy to order simple stuff like pasta and pizza. Or also delivery of basic items such as milk. I'd love not having to carry heavy stuff hom

I'd really like a robot capable of creating standard meals. If something could cook up a small variety of basic dinners with customizations, or make a sandwich, I'd be really pleased. I imagine for a decently sized family, also ha

We associate shorts with all the trolls you see in Tesla threads, spreading lies about EVs, climate change, etc. It just gets old listening to that.

Also, if you want to focus on how components in React get their data, that's pretty simple. They just subscribe to it. If you wanted to render a list of accounts, you could have a couple levels. At the top, you have an account lists co

Redux is appropriate for that, yes. You'll need to write the code to communicate with the server. So whatever fetch/update APIs you write there. Then interpret the response, and push the data into Redux. Your server is your main s

The library commonly paired with React/React Native for data is Redux. People who use React and React Native to share code between web and native typically report 85-90% of their code can be shared. Some UX code is platform-specific. M
