"But most days, if you’re aware enough to give yourself a choice, you can choose to look differently at this fat, dead-eyed, over-made-up lady who just screamed at her kid in the checkout line. Maybe she’s not usually like this. Maybe

When it comes to long-term storage of art, damage can be calculated in more ways than whether a piece of art is noticeably defaced. The biggest threat to these pieces lies in being stored outside of a climate, light, and humidity-controlled

Averages in this case are meaningless. The distribution matters more than the average. Never cross a river that is "on average 4 feet deep".

True, but managers also usually fail to account for the time and cost of remediation after a pentest. Had the city engaged in the pentest, would there have been an appetite to spend 10-20x that amount on remediation?

This is not true. It has been on by default since iOS 9.

No one has yet to provide an argument as to why "smart speakers are much better at invading privacy". For example, just this year my always-on, always-near-me iPhone was subject to an attack where anyone could call me on FaceTim

Siri is always enabled on iPhones by default.

Of course not, but phrasing it in this way (that phones are a separate exception) minimizes the legitimate critiques of always-listening cellphone privacy.

But saying "beyond what smartphones are already capable of" diminishes the fact that they are also always listening, and are also generally near where you are. Siri, by default, is always listening. Most people don't understa

There are companies[0] that provide realtime (I think) satellite imagery apis. One use case I saw was stock traders tracking parking lots of large retailers to gain early insights into sales metrics. [0]: http://www.digitalglobe.

What is the reasoning for the vehicle not also sounding its horn while it's braking?

This could easily be done without any automation, only using a FPV system similar to a drone. It's simple enough to do this with only a Comma.ai devkit and some FPV hardware.

When I bought online from Zenni optical they sent a plastic ruler that you set on the bridge of your nose with a slot in the middle, and can be used to measure PD. It's similar to this: https://store.eyeque.com/eyeque-p

This is exactly why they spun it off. They've known for a while that many people are walking away from FB, so they're adding apps to retain you as a customer, and all the data collection that entails.

Sounds like there was no API. OP was just making POST requests directly to the server.

There are several studies on this that conclude otherwise. For example[1]: "Firearm prevalence is significantly related to total violent crime (B = .600, p < .05). With each unit increase in firearm prevalence, the expected count of

Yes, and I think they still technically do. At some point they changed it from a single target email to requiring 20, but you could get around this by uploading 19 others of a different gender, then use gender as a filter later on when crea

Testing a large enough random sampling of people will include the lowest common denominator as well.

Also all of the US-based MAXs had the optional AoA Sensor Disagree indicator, which would instantly show the source of the issue. The international pilots were in the dark because Boeing turned a critical safety feature into a revenue strea

My position is "never talk to police without an attorney" -(although this wouldn't apply if I were reporting a crime). Uber has plenty of attorneys either way. There is no conflict.

I would, because interviews require someone from the other organization to be there. Time is a valuable resource, and as long as the employer is showing their commitment, I have no problem reciprocating. Skin in the game is the key.

by davinic 7y ago
I refuse to do so. The companies have no skin in the game and could easily be giving the same assignment to hundreds of people fighting for the job. I would entertain the idea later in the interview process, especially if there were some to

The answer can be zero. We also own the printing presses. This could act as a general tax on the economy without a tax rate hike.

I used VRBO often before AirBnb existed and I never experienced anyone collecting hotel taxes or attempting to be in compliance. Do you have a source for this claim?

I disagree. One could change the capitalist model to account and be liable for all externalities and to tax/penalize those firms/countries who refuse to.
