if your viewpoint is doing a "good job"then what would you prefer? Bad job by a bunch of idiots. Some of them get paid by the system, most are high calibre and can milk the teat of corporate inquisitions. They absolutely know thei

> the deluge of anti-FB, anti-Goog, anti-Twitter, etc articles. Maybe I'm viewing this too broadly, but I get an icky feeling of intentional furor construction. Those companies are enabling the criminals. German law defines the user

'Yeah... we debated this a bit in some of our groups. But most of us already had Slack running for work at this point" so that makes Slack ok to start using it outside of business?

Health insurance companies are going to love this. Expect to see a spinoff for-profit organization that monetizes the tests (charging the end user of course - probably via their insurance premium). The fancy 'public healthcare' rh

Average users have a VCR? How would it work if they don't set the time on it? You bought (whatever) it (is) - so that becomes your problem. The average user falls for the marketing of "your app controls your fried chicken" bu

"For ordinary users, the situation is truly hopeless. They are pwned by default if they buy into IoT." when was it ever different? This is just a repeat of the "buy anti-virus" phase of Windows, which wasn't suffici

Having used all the encrypted call possibilities there are , you are, in my opinion, absolutely spot on. SC has exceptional clarity. WA isn't bad. Can you talk more about "our guys" in respect to the fact that the CIA and NSA

That is increasingly hard to do these days. Verified addresses etc are now minimum requirements to get the handset. Of course you can pay cash and make up an address

Forgive me for being a layman in these matters Are you saying "maybe/maybe not"? If they seem to be doing something that is "more or less" the same then my radar is triggered for them not actually declaring they are

Did FB/WA clarify that they use the OW audio encryption algos, or did they just put the OW 'trophy' on the wall without the actual implementation? WhatsApp is, I agree, very good quality for what it is, but I would never trus

that's interesting. I'm running a 2 year old Xperia Z3 and it never occurred to me that my CPU might be the issue, but SC seems to handle audio quality just fine edit - what did you upgrade to/from?

I love using Signal and will continue to make modest donations, but I would really appreciate an improvement in audio call quality. I still use Silent Circle for calls because it is so tiring to talk when the bitrate is low.

Your statement is lacking in a few ways, so to correct you in simple terms... a database contains data that can be deleted and/or overwritten. Other than examining changelogs and reverting changes according to 'external requiremen

I'm hesitant to afford any particular value to educational practices in this case. Let's take the specific musical skill of composition, which I believe is at the root of musical traditions in any country... The French have a much

Without trying to cite what currently happens in the UK, I think it is fair to say that kids are handed instruments like the recorder at a fairly early age, and those that do well are encouraged to progress. That's a sieving process fo

iTunes is actually SoundJamMP under the hood. That app was (if memory serves) released 16 years ago and subsequently bought by Apple. AFAIK the core of iTunes is still unchanged from then and all Apple have done is simply bloat the UI and b

That's interesting from a personal perspective. I was taught music in the UK where that is specifically not used (or at least wasn't when I learnt). I took a year out of my Music degree to attend the Sorbonne. French music educati

Just as it can be said that music requires at least 3 consecutive notes or beats to have a tempo and a rhythm, it can also be said that it requires a "cadence" which at bare minimum is two consecutive pitched notes but usually at

Is it true that you don't actually need "Roundup ready" weedkiller? Could you use plain old glyph instead?

by MereKatMoves 10y ago
Do you have any "roundup ready" chemical study that can determine, for example, what concentration of glyphosate (over the lesser killers) is in the commercial "Monsanto glyphosate ready" products? I smell a rat here - p

by MereKatMoves 10y ago
yes that's true. What I was pointing out was that the consumer base is being totally ripped off Thanks for clarifying. It remains the case that glyphosate is what kills things most effectively. Anything else is just flavor
