Easier said than done, but if you water-cool the GPU just upstream of your domestic water heater, it wouldn't be a bad thing. Perhaps using coolant and a counterflow heat exchanger, rather than the potable water, but the point stands.

"repeated use" seems to be doing the mitigation work here, though it does seem unusual that someone offended by the repetition would be unoffended by a one-off.

What is the "good" when considering the lack of aggressive truncation/overflow concerns here?

While that might be the case, best to normalize that: Title Normalizers are Crap.

So long as the "getting" doesn't consist of circumventing something that is ostensibly a security mechanism, such as a URL that had never been presented to you by the server but is fairly easily guessed.

In a place where recording audio requires consent from all parties, I don't think it matters whether "all the processing is on-device" given that the law was probably written with tape recorders in mind. If I buy a device tha

On the one hand, I wouldn't expect too many variations here (the vast majority of devices probably use 48 kHz and 24-bit output, a few use 44.1 kHz and/or 16-bit, etc.) but just like DPR and all the other properties with a very sm

This is a huge stretch, but if this problem exists in not only the PC versions of Chrome/Firefox but also the Android/iOS versions, then theoretically the app store reviewers could flag the browsers for facilitating this behavio

Does anyone else get tripped up by the word "avoid" being positioned to apply to each item in the series, but then logically it must only apply to some (the first and second out of 3) items? { avoid meanings, avoid affiliations, a

No, I've never seen Google Photos reflected in any Google Drive interface (web, OS integration, etc.) which on the one hand makes sense (think of Google Photos more like a database-driven black box app than a hierarchical filesystem) b

Your 4th hypothesis is equivalent, not "other," to mine. But I agree that it could be anything you mentioned, as all of them have crossed my mind as possible reasons why I experience "verifying you are human" and "f

Perhaps the bad behavior is failure to remove a compromised (botnet) device on your network that has been attacking one or more sites that use a popular security solution. "Broken link" is not an accurate way to describe this situ

When the Pandora music service launched, I remember reading about how it worked (predicting what you might like next) and it explained how they don't need to know anything about the songs at all (such as genre, tempo, instrumentation,

> just read an extra second [...] accidentally trigger watchdogs Well, this seems to touch heavily on the concern: if your job normally takes 0.1s and costs $100, it could accidentally be considered to have taken 1.1s and therefore cost

Yes, but a mitigation suggestion like "keep using it, except don't do X specific sequence" (for example, send to a Yahoo address via the Reply button, or whatever the case may be) could be helpful as well, since it seems that

When you're already going 10 mph and you're about to add another 10 mph, you can only "call that zero" (i.e., go from 0 mph to 10 mph again) if your point of reference (i.e., the ground) also begins moving with you at th

That's a good question, and I suppose the mgh formula isn't a suitable answer, so my answer would be something like: if you lift an object to some height, and then you repeat that action (lifting it from there to twice the heigh

Brilliant. For those wanting more numbers [0], the ball on the 10ft ladder hits the ground at (I'll stick with imperial units) 17.296 MPH, the ball on the 20ft ladder hits the ground at 24.46 MPH or 41.42% faster, and the ball on the 4

I'll admit, many maneuvers can be described as cutting someone off. One so crazy that it would likely cause a collision should never be performed, but I was talking about the low-speed "bumper to bumper traffic" scenario comm

Indeed, the extremely minor inconvenience of creating a gap in that scenario is very common even in the northeast US. It's the other half of the spectrum, where it's a more severe inconvenience, that it's uncommon for a north
