Something I've always wished Pocket would do is download an offline copy of videos I add to the list (using, say, youtube-dl [1]), so I can watch them on the subway, etc. But they never did this, presumably either for legal reasons, or

To be fair, it's a bit more than just "a swear word or two in context". Here are literally THE FIRST THREE LINES of the book: > I'm pretty much fucked. > That's my considered opinion. > Fucked. Trust me, yo

What could they reasonably do to somehow "automatically" detect this?

As someone who doesn't know much about the inner workings of the whole TLS stack, why is this surprising? I know in the past I've self-signed certificates for domains that only existed on my LAN. Why couldn't that be the case

Unless I'm missing something, the article gives exactly 0 information (or even speculation) on why people think this. It's just a lot of examples of people thinking so.

Why would a crypto developer be especially interested in this?

It's generally understood that Fermat's Library deals with very old papers.

I'm not sure when the last time you tried it was, but that feature has been working since I first started using it, well over a year ago.

Based on the description of "Six Easy Pieces", it appears to be a book targeted specifically at a lay audience, to popularize physics. The Feynman Lectures on Physics are basically a collection of lecture notes for a series of cou

The comparison is with the absence of "switch" posts in previous years, not with the absence of "non-switch" posts. It can't be denied that a dissatisfied-with-Macs sentiment is growing where none existed before.

Cool. Some students at Rochester are also re-implementing AlphaGo based on DeepMind's paper in Nature: https://github.com/Rochester-NRT/RocAlphaGo

What freedom is being withheld by the FSF in this message? They're granting the maintainer's wishes to a T. The maintainer even explicitly requested that the FSF make a public announcement about it.

I think you're misattributing merge commits or pushes of repository histories where I'm not the author or something. You claim I've contributed over 2M lines of code in 2016, which... I don't think is right.

A few days ?! That's a killer feature for me... most laptops can barely get through half a day.

What a lot of us want is more granularity. I'm totally fine with their per-GB pricing, but if I (as a personal user) want more than 1TB, it is literally impossible to buy it from Dropbox. I would have to upgrade to a business plan, whi

It's pretty clear that what he means by "GAAP analysis" is "valuation based on GAAP revenue", as opposed to "valuation based on bullshit cooked revenue metrics", like the fanciful definitions that Groupon

I love the Pixelmator UI, but it's severely lacking in some basic features. For example – it can't even open or import an SVG file, in spite of having an entire "Vectormator" mode.

Microsoft has nothing close to a monopoly in this space, so no.

Presumably by constantly monitoring whatever biometrics you can gather from the wrist, thus detecting anomalies sooner than annual checkups would.

I know lots of people who do (including myself). Just look at the support requests on Karabiner, etc.
