I have learned the hard way that today's fancy waterproof phones can lose that magical property when dropped. And then the warranty might not cover you when it dies after being rained upon. That's not what I, an old Defy user, had

That was Google Chrome on Android without any ad blocking.

Isn't the lack of that energy the reason for proposing storage in the first place?

I've just checked the "there are no ads on DDG" and saw half of the content space taken by Wikipedia-sourced infobox, half by ad, searching for "insurance". Interestingly enough, Google shows me no ads for the same

Isn't the point of this finding your personal file stored in the server?

This is publicly available data, published quarterly in the financial statement... I don't recall ever hearing about that kind of a drop.

But we can't allow Google to have the same amount of accidents as regular drivers, because we are not allowing them to have the accidents in the first place. "Everyone" breaks the code and the police is not enforcing unless s

"Human level AI" is a tricky wording. Sure, we may never get a program we would trust to serve in a jury, convince us about existence of God or just have a casual conversation with. But ask Go players how is that resistance to mac

Was Google's failure there due to lack of technical infrastructure?

> There is no contract if Google didn't send the phone. The commenter doesn't owe them money for something they failed to send. Don't know about your jurisdiction, but in most countries I lived in the law works otherwise.

Having thought about this some more, I really can't recommend doing a chargeback with any company you want to keep taking your money. Afaiu this doesn't cancel the contract, so you owe them the money unless you manage to void the

At least have all your account recovery lined up before you try a chargeback. It is taken as an extremely strong signal that the account has been compromised and is being used to fraud the rightful owner. Source: I work there. Also: I would

Not always. Renaming a proto field is one common example.

Success rates are often not that high. Also depends on the exact definition of success. Say for carpal tunnel, from that I've read, the "there was any improvement" success rate is about 90%, but the "fully healed" s

What about the device getting compromised?

It always appeared to me that the spirit of the law is obvious, at least in the broad strokes. The thought experiment with involuntary brain scans, whose admissibility is not obvious when extrapolating from the spirit of current law, was ey

Many (most?) do, that's where Google Scholar took its PDFs from pre-scihub.

Eh, no. Cookie warnings were a legislative failure that was fixed with gdpr. But they trained users to click without thinking. So now many companies do disguise the explicit consent to enable tracking to look like the old meaningless cookie

You have just changed my understanding of the world. Thank you.

Said 80/20 was the idea behind Fossil, along the "easy to learn because similar to svn". Seemed a good idea. But lost to having a famous user, which the Linux kernel obviously is.

"Multiply the impact of empirical findings by (#positive reproductions - #negative reproductions)" sounds nice, probably bound it to some interval like [-4, +3]. But this means your measurement pipeline needs to understand more of

Ideals clashing with reality. Some, like yours truly, give up and go to the industry. Some try to make it work, game the system a bit, do some good. Then they get kids, get older, generally run out of energy to do two things in one job. And

Wait, how do you know that does search per keypress? I've just tried in Windows, and it doesn't seem to do anything until I press enter when the loupe is selected.

Can I though? From what I gather, there is no lobby in the world, maybe outside Asia, that is pro-nuclear.
