Yeah that's what I've noticed, too. In Cambridge we have a Tesla store in the main shopping centre, which is just a Model S and a Model X on display in a small room with some people that talk about it. I don't think they actu

Yeah I work in the office next to them, same floor same building. And previously worked for Arm. And I have a friend working at Qualcomm just down the road from me, too. Quite a small little world here :)

In this SSD case, if they only certified the algorithm then all the SSDs would be fine (probably). The encryption itself is probably good and wouldn't be easily broken if you only had access to the encrypted data. It's the key gen

If you implemented the same compression algorithm over and over again, each time from scratch, the only skill you'd learn would be how to do it more efficiently. You wouldn't learn anything special, except maybe some nuances of th

OMG I miss this so much! I had a Palm Zire 72 growing up long before getting an iTouch and it was amazing to use. Writing messages took longer but felt more natural back then, these days it'd probably feel too clunky though.

Yeah we still have those in the UK, they're amazing. Where are you from that they discontinued them?

I completely agree. To me, 9 formatting changes in a single sentence, e.g. in the second sentence of that GitHub repo readme, is incredibly excessive. While the comment you replied to isn't nearly as extreme, it still has a similar iss

From OP's wording, I assume "cram everyone" means that there wasn't actually a good amount of space for people to work in there and it'd be detrimental to everyone. I certainly would be rigid if I went from working

It doesn't, monitoring and configuring battery saving is relatively harmless to the majority of consumers. The point that the OP made is that there is nothing stopping them from doing more harmful tests like experimenting with web traf

He's saying uneducated in the context of technology (pretty much in those exact words). This means they don't know that what they are seeing in WhatsApp is fake and/or taken out of context. They don't know about common s

If I'm honest, I like that kind of formatting for small 2-3 line, 2-3 part expressions. But I am not a big fan for it in much bigger parts (like that huge index calculation above). I always see them and think that I'd rather see a

Instead of this: (rule & (1 << i)) === 0 ? 0 : 1 You could just do: (rule >> i) & 1 Otherwise it was a good review! I'd probably also extract parts of this long line so it's not as cumbersome

Not to mention they have exact numbers to help, too. A human sees a healthbar ~1/4 full of a hero with ~1200 health and has to guess whether their ~300 damage spell will kill them. If not, are they sure they're in range for an aut

It's not "just happen to use the same Arm instruction set," it's "they keep up to date with advances in the Arm architecture, such as v8.x extensions, which are heavily influenced by what Arm plans in their roadmaps

A better solution, maybe doable on jailbroken/rooted phones, would be to have one pin unlock into normal mode and one pin to unlock into a mode with all sensitive information hidden but looks like the normal mode. Again, I wouldn'

It's not that I want to give more power to Facebook, it's that it's more convenient for my use case. Sure Facebook has too much power, but so does Google and I'd rather my video watching data was all aggregated in a much

I'm excited because I follow a lot of video content creators on instagram, having to switch to youtube or twitch.tv to actually watch their content. If I can get all of their pictures/text announcements and video content in one pl

You can't spoof the data, it's generated unique to each game then signed by Nintendo in a way that isn't reversible to anyone else.

Yeah I reached the point where I decided it wasn't worth it. Towards the end of my degree, I was just playing far less because of bigger workload and the times I played were mostly on my phone while waiting on my own for something. I c

HotS and Overwatch really aren't exploitative sure, but Hearthstone is incredibly exploitative. Unless you are so good you can go "infinite" in arena (always make your gold entry fee back and then some, on average), you have

But that still prevents the entire targeted ad industry. If you can't hold any identifying information on a user that didn't opt-in to tracking, you can't show targeted ads to that user.

Loot boxes which have actually different values should be illegal, but the loot boxes in overwatch don't. They don't change the gameplay of the game at all, having a legendary skin just makes you look cooler and doesn't chang

Also 1 billion users may be true for viewers, but the real support is only needed for content creators. That number is _significantly_ lower than 1 billion.
