   The best way I heard this articulated: * Black Americans have increased interactions with the police, variously due to profiling and/or material conditions * The police in the US are exceedingly quick to use deadly force compared to ot

   COTS software is nowhere near what I'd call "spaceworthy". They either determined the UI was not life-critical or ignored that fact.

   If anything, I would suggest looking to Microsoft Quickbasic for a model of how this can be potentially refined. Quickbasic itself was a refined version of 1980s Basics, it removed line numbers in favor of optional line labels and featured

    There is in my car, but Google at least forces users to accept the "OK Google" functionality when they agree to the voice activation disclaimer. So once you enable that, the phone is always listening for "OK Google".

    There is also the privacy issue. Using Google voice in the car requires I turn on its always-listening functionality. Nope!

    Not sure if I would've viewed it as a prank. Maybe some ambitious plan involving physical RFID tags, that was doomed to fail.

    First thing I asked myself was "What framework is Hydrogen?" and I briefly guessed it was the next trendy GUI toolkit.

    Apple reported supply chain disruptions. If the government overreacts to a virus and disrupts supply chains over it, that's still a material impact on the market independent of the actual severity of the virus.

    I guess the real question is, is autopilot a service (i.e. requiring realtime use of remote infrastructure) or is it a feature that functions independently? In the second example, Tesla would be just arbitraging legal curiosities surrou

    I am willing to guess the general security practices of operating systems improved post-XP, making something like SoftICE prohibitively difficult to develop. There's another word for software that runs undetectable to the OS: rootkit.

    Because "functional decomposition", a method of threading where you allocate threads per function like physics or rendering, fell out of fashion. Modern game engines instead use a task system where tasks are spun off a main thread

    This debate has been raging since the Clipper chip controversy 25 years ago. I worry that encryption will only continue to weaken. It already occurred in Austrailia.

    Well, what gender pronouns refer to seems to be changing from an objective measure of one's physical sex, to a subjective matter of one's preferred identity. This came about because there is a not-insignificant portion of individu

    If all Intel has left over the competition is artificial vendor lock-in, they're in big trouble.

    Always distrusted public chargers and USB ports from the day they started becoming common. One way you can address this is by buying a power-only USB cable, with the data lines cut. Unless there's any form of communication possible on

    The problem isn't that they're rich so much as that increasing numbers of people live at the beck and call of the health insurance industry and that there's not even any attempt to stem the tide of homelessness. So those in n

    I can only imagine the buffer overflow bugs present in that network stack. Great gimmick, but we're long past the point where you can throw something like this online.
