I think you are taking the statement too literally. The expression does is not meant as an authoritative statement that every single person does X but that in general X is the most common. I understand it is often used as an underhanded met

It's not unmanageable, but it does depend on the user base and the expectations set from the first sales call. My current employer is a truly worldwide company - we officially provide support in 6 languages via phone and email and mak

Out of curiosity, did your parents seek out the Echo or did you buy it for them? I'll believe you regardless, but the comment about you giving one to your sister tends to be more of the story I hear when I hear about niche products &qu

While I agree with you that the old League launcher was just trash, I am mildly impressed how long it has lasted and worked for Riot. As much fun as it is to make fun of Riot's spaghetti code, they did a decent job with the Air Client,

I appreciate the idea here, but it's really not what the article is discussing. The article is talking about items only previously obtainable via harvesting naturally occurring items, for example, diamonds. Then suddenly because some s

I'm having difficulty finding any authoritative or historical resources on this, but I recall that "good" viruses were for some time planned that would do just that: Run around, see if they could infect via the method, then p

I think you might be over thinking it, though I can understand how it's a daunting question. I believe the intent is to ensure that it's understood the list isn't a requirement, but rather the varying options and levels of se

Well, if memory serves, for the most part haven't most terrorist attacks been coordinated over either completely open channels or over non-technical channels? If I remember correctly, the Bin Laden operations were orchestrated via snea

I was going to comment on the article and idea of multilingual NN's in general since, as I'm learning Russian currently, I'm having a hard time seeing how you can get a good automated translation without some editorializing o

As a preface, I do not have enough information from the article to form a strong opinion on whether or not any misconduct or alteration occurred with the vote, so attempting to comment in a non-partisan fashion. But to respond to your post,

I would agree with this and expand with anecdotes. I am an average cook in the kitchen, usually leaving with all my fingers where they belong, a nice clean kitchen, and a meal that looks and tastes like I meant it to. I have a lot of dishes

I think the set up has become a bit more consumer friendly and appliance like, which may in part lead to better security. Most of the major vendors are even pretty good about disabling commonly exploited functions of older firmwares; there

The article isn't clear. I don't think this was the result of any official policy so much as individual authorizers making decisions based off the debtor's willingess to play along. The article ends suggesting that the compan

I don't think some of these points are necessarily accurate. Speaking generally, "fake news" is a real problem, though a more accurate term would perhaps be "poorly vetted" news. Large media outlets feel the need an

More than likely because your comment, while a reasonable reaction, isn't really a comment that facilitates discussion, which is not preferred and seen as white noise. Most people are fine with profanity in reasonable amounts but it sh

I disagree. Joel Olsteen, Alex Jones, and countless others have staked their claim on many populations by having a high status in certain people's minds. Many families in the U.S. take these talking heads as gospel, relying on talking

I disagree slightly, mainly because I'm not expecting it to be spontaneous. In my mind, I see this going on for years if not decades, since no matter how many tools we add to try and assist with curation of information, the core issue

I would agree that it has a lot of serious issues right now, but I would disagree on "toxic". The free flow of information is incredibly important and has introduced a new age of information for the planet. With small SoC computer

Ah, yeah, I see how what I wrote was not clear. Cruise control was significantly worse than driving it normally, at least when I was at the wheel. The route is a very hilly one, so I somewhat suspect it's that the cruise control was no

Yah, this can make an overwhelming difference in the long run. I used to drive semi-regularly between Wisconsin and Minnesota, a stretch of about 280 miles; others in my family would make the same trip with the same car during the same time

This is important to note regardless of your feelings on the election and of current US and Russian Politics. Despite what was picked up by many US media outlets, publicly, Putin has been much more diplomatic and even-handed in his assessme

It's possible, but I'm not entirely convinced that this is honest, or at least not really accurate. It's far too eager to try to match it to something than it is to figure out what it has. It could figure out most of my drawi

I wouldn't call it insane (except for the cable cutting, that seems like it's just unnecessary when you can just remove the component or likely modify with software), but I also think it's ill-advised for most use cases that

No they're saying arbitrary code execution on the phone would be insecure, perhaps in a slight misunderstanding of what the article suggests, but true nonetheless. I too am wary of a diagnostic partition/back door as an answer to
