My voice fingerprint would be interesting because if it is one of those terrible voice prompt systems I am aggressively swearing at it, combined with extremely calm and pleasant tone with an actual person. There are a couple of systems I&#x

The thing that pisses me off is that the numbers are either faked or stolen. The people actually making the call on those numbers need to be arrested and charged with a felony. I don't care if they are some low level telemarketing dron

Yes I'm sure routinely cycling for 24-32 hours in a row is great for long term health.

Find a good mentor and listen. Don't have a chip on your shoulder. Don't be afraid to try a different approach. But sometimes a mentor will explicitly warn you, and it's almost funny when the person says "fuck that I&#x

I've used it a half dozen times. The quality of has gone way down. The first time was amazing with the shopper suggesting a combo that was not only better but cheaper. And it was delivered an hour and a half later. Now it seems they sk

I've never understood the near and actual addiction people have to endurance sports. Most are not healthy, marathons make for a great Facebook or dating profile, while damaging your body. yesterday I was talking to a guy that is doing

So they make worse quality apps yet still include gapps. That's a brilliant plan. How about they stick to quality hardware and let the pros deal with software.

That just seems like a good idea anyways. FaceTime as a product just flat out seems stupid.

Maybe, but with btrfs your data is definitely at risk. Don't ever use it for anything important. Backups are important but even with those, btrfs is a filesystem that should be uninvented.

Not having to install the shit show of conflicting dependencies. Get a formal package manager instead of the twenty different ones. Basically take a look at python and realize the js ecosystem could actually have nice things.

I didn't mean that sustainable packing would be a bad experience. Just that Nvidia went overboard, sure it was slick and impressive, then it was thrown out. The amount of money and time that went into it was a complete waste of money.

I find piracy to be faster in many cases. Between a nzb downloader and a Kodi plug-in with a drebid service I'll be streaming something just as fast as you don't find it on Netflix.

Absolutely agreed. While I was incredibly impressed by the design and quality of Nvidia shield tv packaging, it went into the trash and recycle bin pretty much immediately. It gave me a "oh wow" feeling of excitement, but really c

Damn that sounds insanely bureaucratic. I can't even imagine anyone would ever want to work there, it sounds like a shit show of stupidity. Even skipping the complicated and pointless interview process, if I were offered a million a y

That sounds like fraud regardless if it is for security clearance or not.

Internet advertising is no more targeted, relevant to the user or of higher quality than it was in 2000. SV engineers have absolutely utterly failed to push the needle forward.

I have used it 3 times or so and it was effective. The thing is I am not threatening to sue personally. I am threatening to refer the issue to the government. I personally had no intention or interest in pursuing legal options, but maybe th

On a global average that is probably true. On an individual/personal level it is not. I take a strategic approach, there might be twice as many people in one line but it will be faster. No one in that line is breaking out the check b

Who the hell says "please give me a raise"? You've already put yourself in a position of weakness, man or woman. I deserve a raise because...3 reasons. I have accomplished xyz and want a raise. In my younger years I said I w

Most people I know just lie and add 20+ percent. If you are moving to a different market...they add 50 percent of the real salary.
