Broadly (and without asserting the accuracy or factual correctness of anything I say), I'm guessing it goes like: The patent describes the method of using Lidar in the context of a self-driving car. The trade secret details which frequ

Someone just tell me when my Gmail tab stops using over a gigabyte of RAM by itself . The rest, whatever; I'll worry about them after that's fixed.

You make the category error of thinking this is about privacy . It's about control .

No. Your parent's comment is correct: fingerprints should be usernames , not passwords . An MFA device is still warranted.

The only place in the city residential FTTP is an option (other than to larger apartment buildings) is, AFAIK, Sonic's FTTP trial in the Sunset. The NIMBY is strong in San Francisco. Apparently, even the imposition of the above-groun

There are serological antibody tests for T. gondii , but they appear to vary widely in accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, ppv, &c). I have no idea what they cost.

There's no reasoning there; there's just "Aren't I clever?"

Close enough that the perturbations these planets induced in one another's orbits allowed the team to estimate their masses at between 0.4 and 1.4 Earth-masses. In astronomical terms, that's very close.

Slight clarification: The key thing is that you want the delta (between exercise price and FMV) to be as small as possible — at the time of exercise. If you exercise any time but (effectively) immediately upon being granted your ISOs, you

My gut inclination is to agree with you, but this is also the same congress whose lower house recently unanimously passed a bill requiring a warrant to access stored online communications, instead of merely a subpoena. I think it neither

That used to be my main beef with Milo. Now that he's come out as effectively pro-NAMBLA, I'm seriously wondering how tasteless he's going to get before we stop giving him the attention he craves. (And, yes, I realize that

The most damning condemnation of Wakefield's "research" isn't even his own retraction of it. It's the number of his "subjects" (N=12, remember) that have come out and said he outright fabricated his data,

The anti-vax crowd has an identity-level stake in that narrative. Facts that counter that narrative are taken merely as an attack on their selfhood at that point, just like any other identity-level investment in a belief, be it Democrat, Ch

Examples of how CBP has treated people attempting to re-enter the country is by no means "definitely speculative."

Citizens may, indeed, not be barred from re-entering, but there's absolutely nothing, anywhere that says we can't be made to wait unconscionably long before entry, or that we can be allowed to re-enter without our devices.

I'd argue that a pattern as prone to subtly (or grossly) incorrect implementation as databases-as-work-queues is qualifies, yes.

Primarily, because it's hard to get right. Of course it can be done well, or correctly (and as The Fine Article points out, adding SKIP LOCKED to SELECT ... FOR UPDATE will go a long way towards that). But most people do them terribly.

Using an RDBMS as a work queue is an anti-pattern, but if you're going to do it, you probably can't do much better than LISTEN/NOTIFY.

That's some out-of-context quoting, right there. Your post's parent's point, in the bit you quoted, is how "Fake news" has become — or is perhaps more accurately a thing certain people are trying to make into — a
