The actual problem is OEMs. These devices have no auto update, so Verizon/Samsung etc has to write the updates afaik.

My guess: new TLS bug, or new WebView bug. These systems have no way to update without carriers back porting fixes, and Android H had such a small run that I doubt any carriers are willing to back port whatever fix is necessary.

This assumes that your phone hasn't had any updates for 10 years. If your Tesla had no updates for 10 years, you probably would also be wise to not check your email on it.

It's complicated, but my understanding is that the government can take things, as long as it actually has plans to use the stuff it takes to help the public. E.g. building dams, highways, etc are the common use cases. Importantly those

Technically speaking, the US has eminent domain laws which allow it to force people out of the way (generally by paying fair market price for the land). The problem isn't legal, but entirely one of political will.

I think there are risks to doing porn, but even in this article, the issues are not always related to the porn itself, but bad passwords leading to account compromise, or linking your family identity to your porn identity. Understand that &

Taking a look, I don't really see any concrete lessons to take away. Maybe the most concrete thing is that a 3 block is valued at 20 while a 2 block is valued at 8. Unfortunately, this heuristic is probably just arbitrary, and nearly a

Of course you're right. But the rules are not entirely unknown. For example, archeologists found the pieces. So, they know the dice are involved. And they likely correspond to rules for other similar games (roll and move, like backgamm

Chess is old, but not as old as backgammon. And backgammon is an evolved version of this game. There are 3 ancient games still played commonly: chess, backgammon, and go.

What's the best strategy? I barely notice any strategic edge, or even penality for making moves that look bad.

The modern rules are largely just a guess, but the rulesets I've played with are... so-so. There is enough excitement, I guess, but nearly every game comes down to 50/50 luck. It's incredibly difficult to gain any sort of str

Not sure if it's the same researcher, but I remember some talk about using fuzzing to find undocumented instructions on x86. Is this the same idea, just with newer results?

I always find these articles interesting, not because the ideas are novel, but because it highlights that people are generally unaware of the possibility. A great talk I once heard focused on the idea that given there are (let's use a

The problem with this kind of thinking is that if Cable TV is any indication, things that start as subscription services will slowly begin to double-dip and you'll be paying money upfront and watching ads anyway.

"study" It wasn't a study, it was basically a MGTOW chain letter. Anyone who has experience in science knows that the arguments it purported to show were cherry picked nonsense. A conclusion looking for evidence. And yes, obv

For someone who claims to know movies, these opinions are pretty bad. Borat couldn't be made today... Except a sequel was made... but only because he's already famous? Certainly he had to know that Says Baron Cohen already had a T

I don't think it's obvious at all. They gave one example of how she got hired, but not a comprehensive list of every feature she made.

I think the only concern around homicide and "serious" crimes, is that maybe society does have a public interest in knowing who the murderers in society are. Who are the rapists, etc. I'm not a legal expert, and I don't

Mind you: the situation of the above article is related to minor crimes . Not mass shootings (a major crime if I ever heard one!). The reason for not naming people in mass shootings is different. Mass shooters want fame, so you deny them f

I don't think journalists have any requirement to publish who the suspects in a case are. Think about it a moment: A suspect hasn't been convicted of anything. If there are two suspects for the same crime, then one of them is gua

I disagree, this comment is on topic. The author presents an opinion that conflicts with the reality of the world. Psychologists are not merely trying to make people feel better with temporary solutions, but to help that person solve what i

It's amazing the cognitive biases that are present in every example. A person who writes about how he doesn't believe in atheism, stating his "secular" client believes in god and such... In a country that is 80%+ Christi

Just because people think prayer will help them doesn't mean it actually will. Psychologists have a duty not to lie to their patients. Having a psychologist offer a lie that may make people feel better in the short term does nothing
