Best practices for companies? What about best practices for the people who actually enforce the law? Why doesn't law enforcement do it's actual job instead of trying to bypass the Constitution? You know, go undercover and catch pe

Why?

So what is it? This page is lacking any real info.

Wow. The patent is for "Using voice commands from a mobile device to remotely access and control a computer". That's so obvious it's laughable. How was this patent granted?

I just wanted to give you my first impression as someone who wasted really sure what the title meant. All I knew was that I'm a programmer that's terrible at design I thought this might be useful for me in someway although I wasn&

That's a misleading title. This is the change in step counts around the world over 12 weeks from 2019/2020 from one fitness product manufacturer's data. That's a very selective group. Sure, it's data from people all

I agree that this would be the ultimate tool for consumers, but think how hard if a problem this is. Do you track the price for every grocery store in the world. Where does that data come from? I think for starters that receipts should be p

Where do you draw the line though. What if companies stop trying because they know they'll be bailed out and it's safer to just remain closed and take the money. Several restaurants have changed to delivery/take-out only. How

When the government decided to regulate smoking that hurt tobacco company profits, but it was for public safety. Should the government have had to reimburse tobacco companies? No. The government changes laws all the time. Some of these laws

I almost didn't read the article because of the horrible title. Anyway, I just want to say this is one of the things I like about elm-ui (a ui-library for the elm programming langauge that replaces HTML/CSS). It has the concepts o

Absolutely not. I gues I'm one of those weirdos that want privacy and to be able to pay the money that I earned for things without being tracked. They re-coup this by overcharging businesses as well as having some VERY valuable data. I

Is WebRTC really peer-to-peer if you need a server?

by choward 7y ago
If you click on the query string in the command it does. Not intuitive at all though.

Looks good. I question the survivorship bias from the "0% fatality". They could have had no bad cases or just got lucky. Wouldn't a measurement of how many people it spread to at the hospital be better? The guide seems pretty

Great question. You will never know what is done with the data if you're using servers you don't control. That's why I thought the intro was fake at first. That's the literal exact opposite of what I want. I only clicked

True. This is why I don't install any apps. And you would think a company who's business model revolves around open source would be more likely to open source their app.

by choward 7y ago
Why not open source it? It's code that runs on my phone, not on their servers. I have no reason to download an app that could just be a well designed web site. It being closed source makes me very suspicious of it. What does GitHub hav

The only thing this page does is ask for my email address. Are you kidding me? And when I click the "privacy policy" link it takes me to Twitter. Way to not understand your target market.

It's funny how much people can be influenced by the media and other people without any actual facts. Who cares what rich people do with the money? And not everyone is poor because they are drug addicts. "If we just give everyone m

Your analogy makes no sense. Land is a scarce and finite resource. Land ownership is a zero sum game. Patents are arbitrary and there can be an infinite number of them. You don't need patents to build software but you need land for cro
