I found this thread which has some stats on the memory savings achieved through KSM, but the results weren't very impressive.

If the goal is to police and/or suppress, using this system means that your targets don't have to carry a phone (and that you don't need to have access to the phone's data).

I couldn't get long press to do this on an iPad, but swiping with two fingers worked!

I understand what you are saying, but I think that people unfamiliar with Christian theology might misunderstand you. It's worth noting that the disciples responded to that with astonishment: "Who then can be saved?" -- even

I briefly subscribed, was astonished that the site was still covered in ads and even crashing on mobile Safari, and canceled. I had just assumed that of course a paying account would have no ads, but I guess I'm crazy!

Wow, if there was ever a perfect example of someone misunderstanding what "Autopilot" does in a manner that could have killed somebody, this is it!

Maybe it could improve ergonomics? A lot of people suffer injury from the posture required to sit at a desk looking at a monitor all day. A sufficiently high resolution VR display could be combined with a reclined posture that supports the

Downvoted because the entire article is about explaining this.

The thing is, there are people who care about usability for whom this is not "clearly" an improvement. If it was clear, we wouldn't be having this gigantic discussion...

AOL keywords all over again. It's all about building a moat.

This is completely backwards, because Google just made this decision _now_!

Small differences? A subdomain or an entire protocol is a small difference? And what about any web site that uses a "m." subdomain that doesn't intend it for mobile? I don't think that calling these things "small di

From the paper: "...the novelty of the approach does not lie simply in incremental model performance improvements. Rather, this predictive performance was achieved without hand-selection of variables deemed important by an expert, simi

To be more clear, when you run poisson.test(1, conf.level = 0.95) with the default values of T and r (which are both 1) you are performing the following two-sided hypothesis test: Null hypothesis: The true rate of events is 1 (r) with a tim

The Poisson distribution assumes equal probability of events occurring. That seems to me to be an oversimplification, given that AV performance varies over time as changes are made, and also given that terrain / environment plays a hug

Note that the advertisement was for a TV show _owned by a company that helped destroy net neutrality_: Comcast. How am I supposed to "Join Mozilla in defending it" (from mozilla.org) when they are going to work for their own enemi

Ok, then please read the article. People are discussing this tech as if it works like an Oculus or Hololens, but it doesn't.

Read the Rolling Stone article where it explains how the light field tech works. It's nothing at all like a conventional display, but rather treats the eye as a filter and delivers to the eye the photons necessary to cause your _visual

I can't find the article I read that explained this, but apparently this was done without any financial compensation to Mozilla.

Here's something that I don't understand. Mr. Robot is ultimately owned by Comcast. Comcast of course has spent an enormous amount of money destroying net neutrality. Why is Mozilla supporting a company that's at odds with Mo

Mr Robot is created by Universal, which is owned by Comcast, who helped destroy net neutrality. Besides the fact that Mozilla abused my trust in "user studies" to show me advertising -- when Mozilla's lack of connection to ad
