   "for many users" I think the OP is signaling they were already aware of the threat model point before your comment.

   They have the sense of the terms reversed in the title (problem is in the original, sigh). They mean the nail in the coffin of any attempts to limit climate change. Not a new thesis, but a very interesting one despite any nitpick.

   Title: "8% of uBiome customers are transgender" From article: >8% come from people who identify with non-binary gender. Is this title just made up? I don't see any evidence that "non-binary gender" means transgen

   If someone is not running sshd, I guess launchd would not take control of the port? And then someone on the same box could run their own fake sshd on the port, right? Leading potentially to the ability to capture keystrokes from any remot

    I was asking samstave. It's complicated... Of course kink in general is not abusive. But often when otherwise private things are exposed publicly, abuse or alleged abuse is the reason for the exposure. It's a general thing, but it

    >This is why context, as OP mentioned, is important. But I agreed with the OP about context being important. So why are you telling me this? The context, as the article mentioned, is that the screenshot is being used as evidence against

    Co-worker or not, which you mentioned, is not all that helpful in determining whether this is OK or not. Being outside of the workplace does not make a power relationship that is akin to slavery OK. (You could claim the woman is free to lea

    This reads like a carefully disguised defend, deflect, and dilute piece crafted against the publishers on belhalf of Facebook. Are we sure it is not paid for by Facebook or some entity aligned with Facebook?

    Many models exist in many formats that can be converted to CoreML. So that shouldn’t be a problem. Also there is always the option of training a new model from scratch or with transfer learning.

    It’s annoying that most studies, statistics, laws, etc. related to coal plants omit things like coal fired cement plants which are also huge contributors to pollution.

    I have to say, Mandarin is the absolute best at this. One of my favorites is the fact that the word for precedent is simply the character for "first" followed by the character for "example." So simple and straightforward

    There are several points to the blog post, but I think the main point you are missing is this: CRAM represents (as do other things, like BAM) prior art that calls the new patents into question. Still inconclusive for the moment, but the que
