in chinese the ma sound have several meanings (granted, with different tones). but it can mean mother, horse, hemp, question... there is certainly a chinese version of this around the corner :)

you described something that is an outsorce operator (from the end client POV) not trying to pick on you (specially as I have nothing to gain doing so), but this is exactly how I deal with them. with the option to have the engineers hosted

Gimp has a photoshop like UI option. though if your OS has decent windown management and tear dow menus (both not an option on osx-cloned gnome3) than you'd be a fool to use it

you are replying to an irony... that was about the rich never going to agree to a "solution" that won't make them rich.

it's just to attract investors. see how the top comment is about this being the future of the universe or some other TED talk-level BS? it works. they are just an outsorce provider. plain and simple.

you know deep down that's not the rigth solution. if you have to accept any CA for each site, then next day you will be complaining why you have to click "yes" on that damn dialog for every new site. and then ask browsers to

they would want their captive users to get smart and disable tracking features that are essential to their business, such as globally enabled referrer, etc. just like microsft didn't want windows users to be able set a different defaul

True. They suggest you use a master password, which solves this problem. But if you ignore that it will generate one for you which will only make it a little bit more annoying for anyone trying to steal directly from the offline file.

firefox mobile with uBlock origin. Edit: ha! ironically, Oracle site about china spying on you won't load the content unless you allow google analytics code to run. If google analytic code fail, the rest of their code also fails.

lol. typical anachronistic oracle. their blog fails fail to render on 2 out of 3 browsers I tested. What is this? 1995?

because tomorrow your bank starts to only have a cert from some CA you didn't trust before. having to manually select/add CAs is akin to not having ssl and using pgp everywhere. and you know how well that works out even for techni

I know this is irony, but making the joke obvious to the few that might take it seriously: it's not so good to have that visibility when the cause is the author cursing security researchers away because they are trying to delay a coupl

unencrypted if you want to. firefox always allowed a password so it is encrypted at rest. you will have to pry it out of the process memory after the user type the password.

why no webgl app likes to include canvas (mesa?) polyfill? isn't there any good one? or they all assume 5~15s delay for a static visualization is worse than no visualization?

it's only more expensive in small quantities. after you ramp up, it's infinitely cheaper as you can produce them on waffers. also you are thinking BOM alone. the selling point of silicon mechanical instead of crystal is that it ca

"better sealed clock" would be the universally used quartz resonator, but that would have added 0.002$ to their cost. Unthinkable.

what exactly would they do, if they get the deploy order? review ads for facebook? break whats app encryption of accounts spamming fake news to larger private groups? paratroop into russia's data centers?

they could have called it the iSurface. their feature page is a 1:1 match to Microsoft 's surface page. Even down to the scree x body ratio (which is actually larger on the surface 4). And having face unlock only (no fingerprint).
