There's certainly nothing wrong with that. But this sounds a little defensive. And if you're going to promote the "Community Edition"/open-source nature of the codebase, this should probably be made more clear to yo

For one thing "Mata Hari" did not record voice. I believe Warren's was one of the first to record both voice and data.

I'm not sure anyone is suggesting we destroy every last living cockroach on the planet. This is more about keeping them out of living/sleeping/food areas. They can carry disease, for one thing. These aren't things you wa

Would they have known about the wiggle room without opening the safe, though? I figured they found this out after inspecting the lock once the safe was open. So if they didn't know about this wiggle room -- or know what amount of wiggl

So what exactly makes a "proper programming language"?

Wow. I mean, I like a lot of punk and hardcore, too. I was never a huge Rollins fan in that I idolized the guy or anyhing, but I was never NOT a fan. I mean how can you not respect the guy? Black Flag is iconic. Rollins himself, as far as

You're suggesting that there is no other appropriate handle they could have come up with beyond "sussexroyal"? And beyond that, what gives one person the right more than any other to a particular handle? Even with your POTUS

We may not have the full story here, but it doesn't seem like Instagram is disputing that they simply took it. I don't see anyone suggesting that they even attempted to contact the guy first. Outrageously poor way to handle thin

I just don't understand how Spielberg and others can argue that there is some appreciable difference between a "TV Movie" and "Real(?) Movie". Except for maybe historical reasons? But they just don't make sense

That's just not practical for most people. Wiring a house is difficult and/or expensive. It's also not necessarily an applicable argument for z-wave/zigbee (there may be similar attacks, though, I'm not sure). There

Looks like it's not actually ready yet? PIA has a great track record, though, so this seems promising. I also like this when you give them your email: >> This is not a mailing list, and your email will be permanently removed afte

It is pretty striking how similar the UI is starting to look compared to iOS. And I say that as someone largely on the Android side of the Android-iOS debate. Also add to that the shift recently to move navigation to the bottom of the scree

I don't understand how we're jumping to the conclusion that Musk is responsible for this. No one seems to be claiming the "anonymous call" was made up, as far as I can tell. For all we know Tripp made the call himself to

Ah the title changed? That makes sense, then. I only saw it as "System requirements".

All they are saying here is "these are the browsers/OSes we can offer support for, and that we test our site with". I mean they specifically say: > Some features and functions may not operate properly with unsupported brow

But if they have information that leads them to a completely different conclusion, why aren't they sharing it? I'm having a hard time coming up with a scenario where they have more confident data, but can't share it (or if no

I disagree that it's a knee-jerk reaction, drop of the hat, or whatever you want to name it. We are talking about hundreds of human lives. We are talking about an industry that consistently chooses safety above all else, regardless of

Yes but Ferrari has no intention of making their product affordable for those that want it, even if they were able to. Tesla wants to offer an affordable car that more folks can afford. It's been making steady progress in getting to

When I was typing that comment, I was actually going to elaborate on this point, but decided not to for brevity. The reality is, if a developer can generate greater reach, it gives more options to the consumer. And so in that regard it doe

That was certainly something they talked about and focused on. But I recall that they also talked about how landfills take up such a ridiculously small amount of land, and they are so efficiently managed these days, that it's not even

Whenever I see stories revolving around this sort of thing, I'm always reminded of the Penn & Teller: Bullshit! episode they did on recycling ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0771119/ ). They argue that landf

Interestingly (and obviously anecdotal) I've found the opposite has been happening in Philadelphia. And the main driving (no pun intended) factor, I think, was the introduction of our bike share program (Indego). Drivers were so much m

I think in these cases it's simply a numbers game. I mean it's just spam but slightly more targeted. It's the same rules, though. The more of these they send out, the more likely that _someone_ is going to respond. And I don&

OK but if that "known good" DNS server goes down or isn't available, you still have others you can fall back to. The device shouldn't just become completely useless. But that's what Google is doing here. It's t
