The problem with that hypothesis is that a non-trivial number of iPhone customers (that I anecdotely know) tend to upgrade every few years, not every iteration. If a device is "good enough" to last 2+ years, I'd say Apple is

Given your usage patterns, what sort of battery performance do you normally expect from wireless earbuds? 5hrs with a 24hr+ charging case seems decently long to someone who only uses wired earbuds.

What is your stance on Swift, might I ask? I personally wasn't too fond of the emulator performance and general tooling when I last did dev work on Android.

You're ignoring the fact that Apple depends on a certain level of customer satisfaction to keep profits up.

While it's not ideal to model real life policies on television, the show Person of Interest actually covers a situation very similar to this. Instead of humans interacting directly with the information and system, the protagonist desig

Those interested in cryptology and coding theory should definitely consider "The Code Book" by Simon Singh. It's a great account of how cryptology was used throughout history.

No encryption or hashing, since that would require (easy-access to) an external tool and lacks control over length and characters. It's not possible to simply change the "name part" of one of my passwords since the general fo

How is that different than sequencing genes from individuals and correlating that to their (fairly detailed) recorded medical history? If I'm not mistaken, that's what's currently being done.

Not the GP, but yes, and it doesn't require a good memory. The main things I do: 1. "Salt" my email usernames with the name of the service (johndoe+reddit@example.com) 2. Use multiple (long) password bases depending on the ty

The issue I took away from the article is that the bench's unique design actually inhibits its primary function: sitting. The slanted seats make for poor resting areas and require a sizable open space for installation. Not to mention i

I think you're missing the point. It's not that AI will replace all lawyers, it'll simply shrink the lawyer pool size due to increased productivity per capita.

The entire premise of that article is laughably naive. There's a huge difference between accents and adding unnecessary filler words as you speak. There's an even bigger difference between using an app to try and actualize certain

Use uBlock Origin. AdBlock allows "acceptable ads" through by default, which include Google SERP ads.

Also not Android, but Google has rendered the App Engine/Compute Engine dashboard completely useless. Double overlapping sidebars and a huge amount of wasted space everywhere makes simple tasks like finding a log entry difficult. The o

I'm not arguing that ads are acceptable, merely that it's acceptable for sites and users to come to an agreement where ads must be "unblocked" in order to view content. Whether it's the publisher's job to infor

No one is forcing anyone to whitelist the site and view the DRM'd content. The site is simply offering an explicit choice to the user: go away or play by our rules. Whether or not serving the ads in the first place is morally correct s

How is it a moral issue? If it's immoral to block certain behavior on sites, then it's just as if not _more_ immoral for users to block ads in the first place. The usual argument is that sites with ads constitute an implicit agree

How so? It's extremely trivial to make an inline script that detects if the client is blocking ad network requests, then act accordingly. Possible actions range from blowing up the page to redirecting the user away.

This is wrong on so many levels. The author assumes direct monetization strategies are viable for 100% of target demographics on the web. Not everyone has the ability or desire to pay for information. Take Google for example: the overwhe
