Those 52 hours of "work" can buy you a home, neighborhood and school district your children, spouse, (and you) enjoy living in. Whether or not those 52 hours are worth it is up to each family.

I don't have an answer for you, but maybe it stems from some sort of idea of identity? Maybe the car sends a message authenticated with your license ID. Cars are (hand waves) able to authenticate the validity of a message. If you se

If ISPs were treated like a utility and charged per bit, customers would have an incentive to ensure that their devices weren't dumping traffic onto the internet. It's rare that you can see a dashboard showing your usage, even ra

Game consoles don't ship with TV remotes, and the remotes that you can buy are overly complicated affairs. The WAF of using a controller to control video playback is low. We have a Roku 3 and it's far simpler to use than our 360

Borderlands is another good example of this. Procedurally generated guns, but they fall into buckets of terrible->ok->good->amazing, and the particular uniqueness of that weapon becomes stale after a few minutes. I enjoyed about

They'd need to have longer videos than 10s though. I enjoy watching GoPro videos on youtube and they are universally longer than 10s.

Conceptually simple, but "answering" the phone with a simulated ring has a lot of side effects. For example, voice mail might be broken. I'm unfamiliar with the exact specifics of how phone calls are routed, but you might be

In addition it means we've arrived at this solution backwards. It's like banning all screws because you've got a kickass shiny hammer.

I suppose if you're a high profile target it's safer to not use 2FA and rotate your password on a frequent basis.

No, I don't think so, but knowing when something was written is useful. For example, the article doesn't make mention of any other hand ciphers except for one attempt by the author. Is the lack of alternatives because none exist

Personally I enjoyed the hold music tone episode. I think I like the investigative quality and the back and forth questioning that slowly reveals the layers of a situation. The ones I have a hard time listening to are the ones where they h

All I can say is that I would not want to be a Tesla engineer on the Autopilot feature. And I know what you're thinking - it's not because I think some poor engineer is going to get the axe (ok, maybe that's not what you&#x27

It's interesting that this neatly overlaps two different features that in isolation appear benign, and probably never appeared together in a single code review.

Not to discredit their results, but what it shows is that users who used Edge consumed less power than Chrome or Firefox. Whether that means Edge is more power efficient, or devices where Edge is used more often are more power efficient, or

I find this creepy. I completely agree with policing your employees when they self-identify themselves as such (e.g., with RiotFoo name tags). This is normal. What is not normal is asking prospective employees for their user id and making

What gets me is when the canvasser goes into mock-surprise mode when you tell them no. Dude, you and I both know that your job here is to try to sell something to me, so don't be shocked if I'm not interested.

Every app does this, and I hate it. What grinds my gears is the negative review dark pattern funnel (i.e., ask a user if they like the app, if not, keep them in the app and get feedback. If they do like the app, forward them on to the app
