I believe when this first came out it was highlighted that a lot of employees moved back and forth between McD and Taylor. The implication that residual stock or friends across town could influence the situation.

That is a really big deal coming from an executive. Leadership 101 is you never mention a business change or action in the same communication as a situation with a competitor. This guy clearly didn't do his yearly antitrust training.

I know nothing of chemistry in a professional setting. What happens to all the byproducts and stuff you use to clean? I assume you can't just dump everything into one big barrel and send it off to the landfill.

The Golden Record was supposed to include the Beetles "Here Comes The Sun" but the label wanted more in licensing fees than the whole thing cost to produce.

Ah, I see where you are getting confused. Yes the Messages in iCloud encryption keys are escrowed with Apple in some cases. The keys are stored inside an HSM that requires a secret known by the user and not Apple. The underlying process is

This is just nonsense to justify locking consumers into Ultifi, their new Android based infotainment system. GM has stated they expect to generate $20-25 billion in app and subscription revenues by 2030 [1]. GM is about to figure out people

That is not true. iMessage content is encrypted in iCloud with keys stored in your keychain only accessible to your devices. When you add a new device to your account it learns the keys from one of your existing devices and requires touch&#

Even if it is done on device, the Beeper app is an effective MITM on what should be communications between official clients. It could have security issues, be logging everything to disk, or include a third party analytics SDK that is snarfi

You can absolutely spin up vanilla git on your own machine, but try using it for a week. From some quick Googles it looks like Github has 80% market share of version control with Dollar Store Github (Gitlab) picking up the rest. Everyone us

Subversion was really good. It wasn't perfect, but it was relatively painless. Instead everyone switched to a "distributed" version control system that is such a pain in the ass it is all now hosted by a single company.

That is maybe an 80s world view at best. The United States government is extremely proactive and effective in providing international aid whenever a disaster strikes. Lets take the 2010 Haiti earthquake as an example, which happened at abou

JSON is unordered. Nothing in your code should assume otherwise. "An object is an unordered collection of zero or more name/value pairs, where a name is a string and a value is a string, number, boolean, null, object, or array.&qu
