So I assume you turned on the PS4, saw the ads, and returned it?

The point of an analogy seems to be missed on you. There is no actual analogous company to facebook because no company does everything like facebook.

Yeah, I agree. People these days just seem to want to pile on people's comments (sometimes said in a very casual setting) by twisting them and taking the most uncharitable reading. As has happened with your comment too.

Why would anyone confuse the two?

What if one gave somebody else's info by mistake? Very easy to do esp with phone numbers.

Oh, of course. I agree with you that it is not useless and I myself rely on it quite frequently. I guess I should have made my point clear. The relevant point of the blog post is that IS is not very effective at high resolution. I don'

Association and Reputation puts people into seats on premier nights, or on the streets outside Apple stores, or gets a foot in the door in business. Its a real thing, and people are wise to leverage it whenever they can!

It depends on what you consider normal I suppose. Its the 'devil you know' .. or maybe 'glass houses'. HTML, JS, CSS, etc, are all so buggy to where we have not managed to create a reference implementation for any of the

Anecdata: I have never had to re-install windows in the last decade on my personal machine (neither have I had to reinstall Linux or OSX). My current W10 machine at work is at a 140 day uptime because I netured the update and can't be

The A7S is a very different camera. A high MP camera is rarely meant for low light photography. Traditionally its meant for studio/portrait/product photography work where the editor can crop into tiny details if required, and also

I'm curious... what kind of action were you thinking of?

There is a lot of headroom. What shows up in consumer cameras is never state of the art. I'm hoping BSI sensors will drive the noise down even further.

Astrophotographers also care about quantum efficiency and often shoot at higher ISOs. Astrophotographers use cooled sensors for a different reason. Long exposures build up heat, and heat causes noise, which is why you need to cool overclock

AFAIK, every single form of aggregation that reduces variance, biases your data set. >It is really pointless using the count of CVEs as a measure of how vulnerable a product is. I read the article, and that is certainly the opinion of th

But who is preventing them from watching the road? If a driver is so confused by notifications or popups on a tiny screen occupying probably < 5% of their field of view, I think they should put the phone upside down and rely on audio.

Yes, in theory all that is correct.

Thanks for the comment. I agree with some of what you said. My objection is towards the recent (mostly in the west) hyper nationalistic attitude towards China, as-if everything they do is necessarily evil. Personally, I have no dog in this

Hmm, but it appears that windows has fewer security bugs than Linux. Is there any data showing otherwise? (TBH, this is already unfair, comparing the kernel with an entire OS) https://www.cvedetails.com/top-50-products.php

Ah, I was thinking about the Cambrige analytica story, and specifically handing over data which we have no control over. But you're right to point out they used to have 'share by default' on some data.

Did FB really give out personal data? In any case, do we even have an understanding of what is meant by anonymized data (when applied to specific datasets) anyway? I sometimes wonder if any of these firms could call it anonymized by changin
