This is one of those "no stupid questions" type questions: why are there so many more sizes for women? Men's sizes don't fit perfectly either, but it seems like women have more sizing options for the same struggle. Are

I'm not sure e2e-encrypted applications can be reasonably expected to handle this. The bytes they are transmitting are effectively not copywritten, and cannot be deciphered into copywritten information without something which the comp

I agree that he's doing a better job, and I think it might actually be for the right reasons. That said, I'm not sure he states why he actually does it. He ought to be starting a trade war with China because she is an unethical

I'm not sure about this one. One of America's virtues is that she tries to play by the rules (emphasis on "tries", though). It's why we follow the Geneva Conventions. I really, really don't like China, but I

That's sometimes a good strategy, but breaks when you do too much at once. See boeing's recent fiasco where they did basically just that with parts and a fuselage that weren't really compatible. Metaphor extends: try to rep

I get where you're coming from, but I'm not sure this was malicious. First, you could have driven around, which is probably what people did. More importantly, this happened all over with the interstate system; old railroad towns

Americans have significanlty more patents than other nations in history. I'd view it as a random consequence and an action taken by the handful of criminals all nations have.

This is ridiculous. You're purposely conflating need/demand for addiction to try to spin something a certain way. I need food, water, air, etc. and yet would not call myself an addict. Would you? I don't think any one is

> How long do we have to wait before people give up on fossil fuels? Probably not that long. Oil extraction is such a resource-intense process that some alternative, be it nuclear or otherwise, will become more economically viable.

Here's the problem - there's usually a stipulation of good faith. A Chinaman investing money in your company with the intent to clone it like that is not in good faith, and would be so adjudicated by any American court of compe

I'm not sure about this, still. I'd consider it roughly equivalent to posting a POC for an exploit: it could be abused, could be uses for academic learning, or could be used to improve systems. It's not inherently bad.

First, this was too long. Well-done journalism does not have to be a tome unto itself; vignettes of his daughter the ballerina add little to the story besides acting as padding. Secondly, I don't get this part. From the article: >

1903 decoupled cortana from search. I would have her or just deleted the executable a long time ago, but they had them bundled. Now, I can do that, no issues.

He really did that? Jeez, you're right. Still, such attacks have doubtless been used before. Even if they haven't broken the core protocol, I'd assume they've got a few zero-days sitting around.

Because it's often about the "piece of paper" cost. What I mean by this is explicit costs and savings are preferred by management: they can point to their bosses, wave a sheet of paper, and say, "See, I saved twenty-six

Look at Neurable, they've been around for years: http://neurable.com/ Tech is pretty good, and they're working on a VR headset which works with games. If you talk to the founder, his story is really interesting.

It's not a serious issue for me. I can't download my configs to random devices either. Working on embedded stuff I've usually only got vi, and honestly, the most annoying thing is no `F` binding (which is a default in vim).

Maybe so, but Americans are also some of the tallest people (especially compared to those who eat much less). I'm not saying this is necessarily for the better or for the worse, but it's not easy to just say "you should eat

The difference is that we're using stuff that's already being grown. It's re-using that which already exists. This could be lawn clippings, coffee grounds, or other compost stuff. It could be rotten food and help solve the
