Any amount of text - when compressed - would be dwarfed by a number of things that may also be included in the data exchange, such as a software update. There's no way to conclude that a larger exchange of data means a big exchange of

It is possible it's doing local voice recognition on all audio, and just sending the text in their payloads. If the content is encrypted, there's no way for any network snooping to determine what they're sending.

This actually sounds like it could work. If you do decide to build it, I'd love to help.

The way I read this is "the service fee is a way to give us more money, so we have more money to pay to everyone who works for us". So then why not just raise your prices and pay your employees more? If the service fee was split a

Check out the Casio F105W. Identical watch but uses an electroluminescent backlight instead of an LED to illuminate the display.

It's called Smart Interactivity and it's so far tucked away it's blatantly obvious they intended to hide it. As I recall it was in the 'System Reset' menu for some inexplicable reason.

Not really. Real true analog gear is pretty rare these days. Even Roland's recreation of their famous TB-303 is using what they call Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) which emulates the original components in software: http://ww

Correct. That's why I said "to be fair". I'm saying the playing field is quite level, so we shouldn't judge a comment on whether we recognize their username, but rather on quality of content.

To be fair, that company is run by these same 'random persons' that are commenting here.

Anyone have some audio samples generated with this? As a 303 junkie, I would love to hear how closely it resembles a real 303.

I'm probably an ideal candidate for meditation because just the thought of it is nearly unbearable. "Wasting a whole ten minutes doing nothing?!" But it's hard for me to get past the feeling that it's a waste of tim

I've always kept a README.md in my dotfiles repo with all the bits of information I'm trying to memorize. I keep it either printed out, or a screenshot as my desktop background. Works well for me: https://github.com&#x2

Maybe I'm missing something. Why did you get angry at the recruiter for complimenting a picture of your cat? The recruiter clearly saw you have affection for your cat and was trying to be personable and pay respect to your late furry f

Would be interested in a case study on this. Has anyone published anything? My searches didn't yield much.

I'm sure some good UX could alleviate this. Maybe a spinning gear icon? Maybe a battery draining animation? Something to signify, 'this tab is doing some heavy lifting right now'.

The 'Alexa' voice recognition is done on the client, not on the server. Once the trigger word has been spoken, the audio data begins streaming to the server.

She's making a direct accusation against Apple, but doesn't provide any concrete quotes that we can evaluate for ourselves. Seems like it would be more fair to leave the company name out of it if she's only trying to give us

The vocabulary is absolutely flawed. These are very bold claims which need to be backed up with facts. For instance, the behavior is clearly spelled out here: One day, one of my supervisors jumped to my defense at a team event, in a

Back in 2013 I wasn't using the password generator feature for some reason. I was just using it as a vault for my memorized passwords. A bit silly I realize and now generate passwords.

This is a time where a decent password manager comes in handy. I can look in my password history to see what my password was in August 2013, and see if that password is still in use anywhere else, then change the password on those sites.

This appears to be an update to a content blocker that has existed for quite some time. I've had this app installed for a long time, but the integrated browser is new.

Agreed. All the sell-out did was frustrate me a bit then set me on a mission to create the ultimate all-in-one raspberry pi image.

Or.. don't? Maybe post what's happening when it is happening. Especially when it is a freak and unusual occurrence. And if it's not news worthy it will sort itself out an hour later.

Doesn't look like a DNS issue this time. Something specific to Twitter specifically?
