   If by "publicly available information" you mean the EULA, this can in practice not really be expected to be read and understood by the average user. A wall of text with vague remarks is par for such things. Add to this a constantl

   Fires really scare me. They are one of the things that rapidly can get out of control, have devastating consequences, can happen in everyday conditions (as opposite to eg flying). Lots of highly flammable particles in the air is really a re

   I often start off a little less ambitious - if I let it rest for a month, can I pick it up and use it myself again? :)

   Well, sure, there are always people that act against their own best objective interest but the case here is that Facebook is making a bad decision for them, and also not informing about it other than in broad, hard-to-grok language.

   I think the most interesting part is at the end of the article: "Their work indicates the potential presence of an enormous planet, perhaps up to 10 times the size of Earth." Dwarf planets are apparently somewhat plentiful in our

   It's cool to see such an old and well-used arch still be used in new applications, not just old legacy stuff. And, gotta love: "Wave, which styles itself as a tech startup poised to bring “AI and deep learning from the datacenter

   The famous photo of the Tank man from Tianamen square is shown in the article, and it's the most common view. But, it doesn't convey very well what the person must have seen. Standing up to a handful of tanks must require guts of

    Perhaps not for celebration, but for giving attention so that they are not removed by someone thinking "No-one asks for headphone jacks today". It's easy to come to the conclusion that this is the direction we're moving

    So if you disable the "more space" configuration, does it work better? If this is the primo hypothesis, it sounds easy enough to check.

    Since most car manufacturers seem to be vulnerable (to my knowledge), I assume all or most buy the same COTS keyfob + electronic lock product. Much like Takata airbags or Bosch ECUs. Being a step away from the problem probably helps keep th

    I don't think it's the distance really, it's the relaying and the additional steps that adds latency. If the data rate is low, and the data is not trivially small (ie over some 10s or 100s of bytes), you are in the millisecon

    Granted, the twitter website post didn't give much more information, but it's an interesting piece of news. The connected lighting is to be integrated with Xiaomi cloud.

    I was told that if one of the parents had asthma, or allergies, or eczema, the risk is higher that the child has one or several of those too. If that's the case, I really think you should reconsider or at least do it at a hospital. In

    While anecdotally logical, it doesn't prove a causality and can be dangerous to blindly follow.

    Thanks! And I don't wish people to stop using less common words - I do enjoy an expanded vocabulary, just for the record. The comment was just to save others a couple of clicks :).

    While I haven't read the patent itself, I'm hesitant to consider more rigid cables by just that property itself as worthy of a patent. But I understand the problem, although why couldn't it work by making "cable modules&

    An interesting thing regarding the NOP (no operation) instruction many CPUs have, is that it many times is implemented as a pseudo-instruction. Ie, what actually runs is something that has no effect, eg move contents from a register onto th
