If it's an Intel laptop with an Intel ME the op is already out of luck.

If you change the label of the datapoints, say black to apple and white to oranges, you'll change racism to fruitism. It's unlikely that a racist system would do that. I do agree with the article that feeding biased data will resu

Sad to see you downvoted, because he articulated a common sentiment (if something is free, you are the product) with a stylistic device. I guess your reply should've included that.

The original article is full of insults. MrZongle2 pointed this out and said this doesn't promote understanding. How is this "like"?

It's disheartening, because I often see these insults from liberal, intellectual people. It shows a disability do empathize with 50% of the population, which I find worrying.

The sovereignity of the UK is the most important argument. The way the EU resolves regulations is an undemocratic process (for the citizens of the affected countries, not inside the EU). Most people dismiss this argument as conspiracy BS, b

What I're read so far about pro-leavers: -They are stupid. -They are xenophobic racists (over 50% of the population!). -Trump welcomes the Brexit, so being pro-leave is stupid. -Old people vote "leave" since they don't h

Breaking up a large functions into smaller functions isn't even (strictly speaking) functional decomposition because not every sub-function might be dependent on the previous function. "Extract function" is a kind of refactor

The main problem I see with this is that Mr. "The age of privacy is over" doesn't eat his own dogfood. But that's probably because his users are "Dumb fucks" (to quote him again).

I agree with you on this. My point was that we should be charitable in our judgement of the group, especially if we lack other perspectives. Someone from the group might say she always wanted to get her will and alienated herself. We can&#x

From that perspective, democracy is bullying.

I see where you're coming from but I disagree with the argument, because it only holds up under the assumption that they acted this way mainly to preserve the group identity. The simpler explanation is that the group made a democratic

I'm not sure whether you're serious or ironic. This is a social dynamic I've witnessed several times in my life, in male-only and mixed-gender groups. When someone acts against the groups collective will, he or she faces an &

On a Macbook you can three-finger swipe through the fullscreen apps (and spaces) which is similar to app switching on mobile devices. That could be their intention.

That C++ is inherently worse than C is a preposterous preconception. The only point I'd remotely agree with is the two null types, though it makes sense if you know that they express two different concepts.

Squirrel is a scripting language, for example to use in games so the people writing the scripts don't need to recompile to see their changes. It's really a question of using the right tool for the problem at hand. I agree though

You're right, in fact I'd argue that checked exceptions are a very good idea. A checked exception is java's way to say: Here is a side effect, take care of it. The problem is that it can't be enforced consequently, parti

At least in Java, exceptions are often very granular, when you actually don't care. Let's say you want to read a file. You may get an exception for malformed paths, permission errors, filesystem errors and so on. It's unlikel

Colliding with something mid-air sounds more like an unfortunate event than a probable risk.

Well put. Programming paradigms shouldn't be an ideology but a tool. Too often did I see FP evangelists abuse FP as an excuse to write "academic" code.

They also should be interested in case of security updates. If Apples update numbers are true, they somehow manage to get the majority of their users to update to the latest version and this is something Android should aim for too.

Don't know why you were downvoted. The fact that this topic still exists is a disgrace for Google (and Android users).

Open Hotspots in Germany are incredibly rare (due to a just recently lifted law that made Hotspot providers liable for criminal activities commited over their connection). The use cases you described can be covered with an iPod Shuffle or s

As someone who has done (Unixoid) web development on all 3 systems, I'd say OSX was the best experience. On Windows it's really weird to use command line tools, even with Cygwin. There's no package manager for dev tools. Linu

I love the concept of the Core, because I often leave my phone at home. Unfortunately it requires a country whith a mature and affordable mobile internet infrastructure, neither of which applies to Germany.

The problem is the lack of nuance in this debate. It's either "natural differences" or as you said > another possibility is sexism in the way we raise boys and girls differently. Making this a binary choice is unnecessary,
