To be fair, a lot of times I feel that it's more Hanlon's Razor than active censorship. There still is a lot of Old World Russia running the show in Russia, and stuff you could pull off when the entire populous was farmers just do

Furthermore, as an expat living in Russia at the moment, it is quite surprising to one day be in an EU country and able to access any wide variety of sites, and the next day get a friendly message from Роскомнадзор telling me this website h

I think it's what the above poster was specifically asking. Is this safe for the crows? It's a cute circus trick, but has anyone checked that it's actually safe for them?

I'm pretty sure the GP is suggesting the article doesn't provide a compelling reason why the dialect/language in the article should be preserved beyond just being a note in a book somewhere. There are tons of things which we

I think it's more the classic case of get it out there first, we'll figure out how to make money off it later. It's a classic tech play, and certainly Alexa has made a huge impact in the US; Amazon is already in everyone&#x27

I get you're being a bit coy, but I have no trouble believing it's just some person who enjoys the small power rush of being "the guy w/ the answers". I've seen this tons of times with employees in Slack/T

It may have been my incoherence after having just woken up but I was more sardonically commenting on the existence of the bias itself and whether it being a hidden bias or a publicly stated standard operating procedure would be preferable.

Perhaps we've met in Charles De Gaulle then, as I had an Indian gentleman who stood next to me in the boarding line who struck up a conversation along the same lines. He had been telling me how he always gets pulled aside, and since he

This list contains the majority of my and my teams' complaints about Teams. For us, the big issue is that historical data is near impossible to dredge out of Teams because of the aforementioned scrolling issue. Search is universal and

I mean this without being tongue in cheek, but Teams itself is anti-competitive. It's a horrible product which is basically only in use because it's bundled into Office 365. Absolutely nothing in Teams is not done better in other

I feel that your post is being a bit dishonest, as it ends with the following: > UPD: The story ended well. Vulnerability is corrected, documentation and applications are updated, treasure hunters of bugs are motivated, which has already

I believe that this does not really address what "essential" means in this argument, and I find you're both arguing the same point but semantically disagreeing. The idea of a Web Browser being "essential" to an OS i

Truthfully, it's why I'm very sad that the Air looks to be discontinued. I'm still using a 2012 MacBook Air, and it was quite possibly the least stressful computer purchase I ever made. $1000 and some change to get a computer

This vastly simplifies the situation, especially when the cloud is involved. Having a backup, much less a replica of such data requires an enormous infrastructure cost, whether it's your own or someone else's infrastructure. The t

Keep in mind you're never going to have a perfect system - call me a defeatist, but you're never going to get the repeat question problem to drop to a point where it's "gone". So first maybe it's good to get a

To reiterate, don't focus too much on Reader. It's just a convenient example. If you've never been a Google Business or Apps for Education Customer, it's very hard to explain the awkward position you're put in. No S

Reader is a convenient example of a product with a large following that met a simple need. Google is notorious for product and feature churn; being one of their paying customers is exceptionally frustrating as you're basically at the m

I think this is purposefully muddying the issue - there's a reason that mens rea* is part of law; the state of mind a person has in an action weighs heavily on our judgement of the outcome. Facebook, Twitter, et. al. are first and fore

The answer is that the "hacker ethos" is just a masquerade with SV in order to try to persuade other professionals and conditon them to approve of such behavior and participate. Sure there's money at play, but the hacker etho

It's not that surprising. Typically when you work with Governments, everything is specially done, doubly so for the US Government. Custom Federal forks of the main product (with feature parity), heavily customized SLAs, full access to

Almost never upvote, but did here. This book will be a quick read for most people, as the author is very good with her prose and knows how to weave a narrative. The impact that Ms. Lacks had on modern science cannot be understated, and it w

Part of this is the access to engagement within the game. As games rely more and more on multiplayer (think LoL/DotA, Overwatch, WoW Raids requiring a group), to get to the actual content you want you need to assemble a team, either pr

This also happens heavily with repatriation for any unexpected reason. I'm trying to find the document on it, but there are pretty serious studies about re-entering society after a major cultural shift, with many of the difficulties re

I would agree with this, as my interactions largely share the same results. It's not about being right so much as not being wrong. It's a position of arrogance and insolence that is being argued from, not really one of true educat

Quicksilver on macOS solved this by having a contextual "add weight" option for the results returned by Quicksilver. For me it's been one of the most intuitive solutions to this problem, where you can add incremental weight o
