That's what one-way hash functions are for. You never store the raw fingerprint data, just its unique salted hash so the data cannot be reused elsewhere.

Their ios app has over 18000 classes ( https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/3h52yk/someone... ), so I can easily believe the android app is similarly bloated as well. (To be fair, most of the 18K

Wait, is he serious? Is he really making the argument that they assemble in China because the schools there teach children how to assemble iphones? Even if you generalize it to any manufacturing assembly job, it still sounds ridiculous.

MSDN does support friendly names: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/system.string (works for any .net class) I think the person who wrote this particular page simply didn't specify a friendly name, which is why i

Wow, that was intense.. Not sure if I'd call it hilarious, but damn, that was mind blowing. (Also, check out the related video about smart pipe, it's depressing how close to reality that is.)

This is like installing arch Linux and complaining it's not as easy to use as osx. There are literally thousands of other sites that'll tell you what a device "feels" like to use. Anandtech is the only site (except maybe

Surely this is barking up the wrong tree? The problem is with your phone provider allowing anyone to hijack your number. What Google does is entirely reasonable for the vast majority of people. If AT&T fucks up, that's not Google&#

That's a bit misleading. Most NFL games are only available on network channels, not ESPN/Fox Sports/Univision. I'd hardly call that minor.

Yeah, I'm surprised by that number as well, but then again, Facebook got tons of news coverage yesterday for adding five emoticons (did they actually add them, or were they just flighting it?). Things are strange these days.

https://www.microsoft.com/surface/assets/.. . is resolving to 2600:1409:a:18c::2768, which is owned by Akamai. But your point still stands: even Microsoft doesn't trust Azure's CDN offering.

This is one of the stupidest proposals I've ever seen. 1. The president has made it plenty clear with his actions that he's in favor of strengthening the current programs, not weakening them. 2. Even if he wants to, his voice is t

But if there's one thing we learnt the last few years, it's that we were never able to take those things for granted in the first place. You were never free of threat of spyware or kill switches. If anything, we have gotten much b

Is this a new trend, using the emoji instead of spelling out "apple"? (It's just rendering as square-box TV in chrome on windows, which is really ironic given the subject of discussion.)

Every implementation of a closure I've encountered creates a new Capture class which stores references/copies of all variables the closure uses. I think they do this even if the closure doesn't reference any local variables -

This post is about the android app. How do you define "online" when you're on a phone with a data connection, an extremely common use case for this scenario? (Or rather, what makes someone "offline" here?) Maybe it&

The trouble is, most flagship phones are made these days under the assumption of a two year use. I bought a HTC One M7 two years back because it was the best Android phone available then, but it's now barely usable: I have to charge it

This is not a new thing: their Inbox app automatically picks up my amazon purchases and tracks its progress. The items show up with a picture of the item inline as well, which I thought was a rather nice touch. It also picked up emails from

What does the number of people have to do with this? Industries contribute much more to emissions. (also not relevant, but California's current GDP is ~2.2T, which is around 3% of the total world GDP (75T)).

This makes no sense to me at all... you have a video of the other person open, but then you mute the audio and have to type everything out? Why?! Why would you just not... talk aloud? Of course, this probably means it's going to be a c

2 years is insane. When Microsoft dropped support for XP a few months back, there was a huge clamour, and that OS was released 15 years ago. Phones seem to have reached a plateau, and there is no reason to drop expectations: my two year old

I saw that deal, but I'm wary of buying crucial ssds as every single one I've bought has failed on me within 18 months. As far as SSDs go, I thought the advice was to stick with Intel: is this still true?

What the hell are you on about? The closest thing to the proposed encryption backdoor is the clipper chip proposal of the 90s, and that did have severe vulnerabilities that the authors completely overlooked. And I'd recommend you watch

Someone probably read too much Iain M. Banks and decided to adopt Marain's base-9 system :) If I'm not mistaken, some old consoles used a 9-bit RGB encoding, so this could theoretically help there. Minecraft also uses a 9-bit syst
