I'll add my voice to mix here and agree that FF has worked well for me on Android. Between Nightly and Focus, I have yet to need a non-FF browser post adoption.

I agree that the use of a public genealogy database is problematic but the way in which the police obtained the genetic material is not. Once a person discards any material as trash in a public space, it's fair game. The police didn&#x

Nor do I. Obviously, I don't want to appear regretful that the killer was found. I predict that someone in the near future will be saddled with the unenviable task of arguing against the precedent set by this arrest. Good luck to that

The very first paragraph of the article made this clear already. It even mentioned the Xbox by name.

Closer to the 20k end, I'm afraid. More options are opening up now with GPU processing power on less expensive desktops ( ~ $13k ).

As a trained risk assessor, I call BS on Penn. I would love to get a copy of the official risk analysis but, alas, I doubt one was ever performed.

I have been using FF Nightly on Android for quite some time. In addition, I have uninstalled or disabled every Google app I can find on my device. Last year, I switched to unlimited mobile data and (almost) never use WiFi, even when easily

Given just how many variables are at play and how imprecise the categories of problem-solving are, a study with a sample size of 20 is...unconvincing.

It is accurate and also still in use in academia. In every educational institution I have worked, "ESL" is used both verbally and in digital records.

There are many scenarios in which GFNs can be toxic, yes. I wouldn't make any blanket statements about them however. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4803243/#!po=0.... https://www

It's a beautiful idea, it really is...except that I doubt it will ever work in my lifetime. I can't even convince my students at the University to complete assigned readings in preparation for classroom discussions. I can't i

Agreed. I rely mostly on my credit union for financial matters and eschew large banks whenever possible. The service I get at my credit union and a local bank (that I won't name for obvious reasons) is light-years ahead of what I have

Don't you think the concept of "motion" presupposes time? For that matter, every verb in existence presupposes time. A fascinating book on this topic is "Philosophy in the Flesh" by George Lakoff: https:/&#x2F

Like many things, it depends. As long as one can demonstrate that the icon in question has a clear meaning to a "reasonable person" or "typical user", then use of the icon would likely hold up in court.

I agree. Wittgenstein had much to say that is relavent here, although he is referenced far more than he is read (unfortunately).

Well, it would if logic were the overarching guideline on these topics. As it stands, the male is presumed guilty on college campuses when both parties are drunk and he must then meet a draconian burden of proof to extricate himself from th

Mildly pedantic complaint: Esperanto is actually easier to learn than many other languages so the analogy doesn't work. But I get what you mean.
