The iPhone hardware meets my standards. The secure enclave for touchID is detailed in it's description and security. The Apple business model is not data collection, and the legal fights they have put up give me a reasonable belief tha

Yeah, I think you are correct here. I think I would also be happy if someone else was selling me the hardware and I controlled it more, and it just was a hardware pipe to the voice service provider.

Not parent, but I'll answer. 1) The implementation of the wake word recognition is implemented in hardware that cannot be updated remotely. 2) The device is unable to transmit information without lighting up a TX light. Implemented in

Yes, but is that behavior changeable with only a software update?

Most of the sandwich debate is caused by ignoring adjectives. In the case of a submarine sandwich, it's a sandwich except we apply the adjective submarine to say we are modifying the bread situation. An open faced sandwich is just like

Extra virgin olive oil is the first press oil. It contains particulates that have a very low smoke point. You should not be cooking with extra virgin olive oil. Pure olive oil is a later hot press extraction and does not have the particulat

I agree with your criticism, but I'm going to add that I think the parent is correct. The thing that helped me the most was joining rec sports, meeting people through that, and socializing a lot. This took years, but I eventually got b

The reason I'm wildly speculating in this particular direction is that Bloomberg is claiming lots of unspecified high level government employees are their source.

It's all just speculation but this seems like the exact kind of story you would want in order to pass some legislation to prevent foreign manufactured chips being used by USG.

I've seen an even worse version. If only the person who wrote it understands it, then when someone else tries to modify it, they will likely fail. Then the original author can back-channel predict the failure and use that as further ev

Yes, but I'm confused about the truthfulness of the statement. Is it true that an additional year of education is equivalent to 2 points of IQ?

Is there a legal definition for when transgender people count for legal purposes? I'm genuinely curious here.

It makes me laugh when my banks fraud department calls me and then asks me to verify myself to them by giving personal information before asking me questions. I usually laugh at them and tell them they they are the unverified party in this

It seems the amount of change was a large problem. Was it attempted to minimize either number of student start times changed or total delta of minutes changed? Was it discussed how this could be done incrementally to slowly move towards mor

I love the idea, but this really doesn't dispute the central point. Iceland is an economy with a $24B GDP that is smaller than Vermont's, the lowest US state. The claim is that letting large US banks fail is a systemic risk that c

Is it just me, or did the article completely fail to answer it's premise? I really wanted to hear about how office politics works in a full time remote workplace. The closest thing to an answer for this is "we write stuff down so

I feel like rhetorical analysis should be a more common school topic and area of academic work. I want to spend more time talking about what a productive discussion looks like and what actually counts as evidence. You are describing a diffe

What a strange view into the mind of someone who I assume is absolutely brilliant in his field. He sees the world as defying the laws of probability to oppress him but it reads the exact opposite to me. The surprising part to me is that we

I had no idea when I was younger how much of school history is just introducing shared mythology and indoctrination. History is so much more interesting to just read about instead of the mythology selected by state education boards.

As annoying as fire ants are, invasive aquatic species like Zebra Mussels are having a frightening impact in the United States. If we can remove them using a similar technique, that would be amazing.
