"Can" is the operative word there. I have had experiences similar to your own and for me, the death of my father was much more devastating. But I can imagine less socially connected folks or folks with poor family relationships

Agreed. There is often a lack of imagination on the part of folks as regards the potential future abuse of privacy invading tech. There will come a day when thoughts can be decoded with ease.

The "database computer code" they are talking about is not the actual database software (e.g. oracle, postgres, or whatever). It's the proprietary code used to keep the data in the database accurate, up to date, distributed,

Yes of course and I appreciate that. Just my opinion but in that case I would not have used images with such artistic weight. There certainly plenty black and white images to choose from.

This is very impressive but I'll be that person. I shudder when I see someone/something colorize the works of masters of black-and-white like Ansel Adams or Henri Cartier-Bresson. Just a horrible mangling of their work. Adams for

These folks have a ted talk video on their front page where they show the view from inside their headset. Seems reasonably expansive. https://www.metavision.com/

What are we to make of these sorts of comments from Obama and Feinstein? It seems like there is strong backing by certain political interests to make it impossible for the average phone user to encrypt their own devices in such a way that

At least for something like Signal you can compile it yourself. They even provide instructions. So you could avoid gapps for that one with a bit of work. https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Android/wiki/

Not sure about BIME, Chartio. But Tableau certainly connects to Google BigQuery.

It does? Depends on what weight you give to the opinion of the folks buried. I doubt they would agree that curiosity by itself is sufficient benefit.

This addon does as you suggest but with a simple click as opposed to having to go into about:config. Better if you think you might use webrtc from time to time.

Yes, true. Working in tech, I'm probably seeing the end of the spectrum that updates their devices more frequently. I have nothing against the apple watch per se other than price. Just a personal thing. But I can't see paying t
