Their numbers are surely wrong? Firstly, AVX2 jumped from 1% to 5% in a month. Secondly, it looks to have been on every Intel processor this decade.

I’d contest the airlines would not act as you suggest: 1) they’d believe they can get away with it. 2) it wouldn’t be the end of the airline. Large fine, negotiated down, cost of doing business. Even if people died, would the fine be that

Maybe iOS 13 should pay attention (single-track loops often stutter at the end).

I've lived in several places where this practice is common and none where it remotely works - it's totally ignored. Where are you based?

The license fee is not the BBC's only source of funding. Its worldwide operations are generally profitable.

I usually receive soft objections to this. They don't even seem to understand the problem most of the time. In fact, they speak rather like I would expect a scammer to: "but we just need to verify who you are, and you will still h

Maybe it was a misunderstanding or review failure, not an evil conspiracy? You know, they are know to happen quite often...

I would argue it was always like that. Some of it seemed to be actively encouraged by Jeff Atwood/moderators/senior users. You forgot another common one: "not clear what you are asking". I normally have to reply to this

I don't get the feeling ReviewMeta is very sophisticated. FakeSpot and ReviewMeta often contradict each other. I often spend time on both sites and then realise that either all the candidate products are not great, or I've wasted

Not really. Helping nation state (any) actors gain access to user data would be contrary to their previous actions. Helping experts research vulnerabilities is a calculated risk that the good guys will reveal bugs at a similar rate or faste

It feels like there are more responsible ways to deal with this than showing up their support team on Twitter.

There's something deeply satisfying about the idea that the annoying tone and shoutiness (and volume increase) of most ads could be used against them for filtering.

Where does "users didn't say a thing" come from? The version that really makes the difference was only released a few days ago... and there has been lots of news/criticism in tech circles about it.

The overhead of repeatedly launching subshells/processes to do simple operations can add up quickly, especially if it is happening in loops or in parallel. Yes, you shouldn't be using bash for performance, we all know that. But sc

Yes; I find it strange they have gone down the thin bezels and non-curved edge route with iPad. It seems much less ergonomic, and a big reason for me to hold off upgrading. I read into it that having some specs for announcements has becom

The article uses the term "stacked". It refers to a complaint to the EU about the abuse of their position as owner of the App Store. It refers to a Supreme Court anti-trust case. It repeatedly frames the discussion in terms of wha

These sections seem to address the point to me: * "The tail is not wagging the dog" - index funds are a relatively small percentage of total share ownership. * "Benchmark huggers have always been around" - owning ~the in

How would they access location data unless authorised by the user? ("absurd" is a strange word to use; it might be nicer to educate without condescension).

I'm struggling to see how the backporters thought this was an acceptable transformation. I don't know any of this code, and even the warning seems a little opaque to me initially. But it seems very obvious that you can't just

I see it like this: yes, it's a poor website which comes down to semi-legitimised spam. However, recruiters already were semi-legitimised spam, and they like LinkedIn because it's easier/more signal vs noise for them. Employe

Three main misinterpretations: 1) Getting bigger over time. 2) Safe outside the cone. 3) Further from centre implies less preparation required. 1) Is maybe true anyway? I have no idea. Is it an important error? 2) Is more of a problem with

It remains marginally higher competition than the unit folding, which seems to have been the alternative. At least one party has an alternative. And unlikely as it may seem, that party may yet choose to sell to others, which is also better

The conventional wisdom: fat in the blood is the main thing to worry about (along with genetics) and that lifestyle factors have a big influence on that. So both, really. Which part of that paper disputes the importance of fat?

Everything I've ever read says fatty deposits. The NHS website calls fatty deposits "atheroma". You can find multiple definitions of atherosclerosis/atheroma in other places describing them the same way. Wikipedia says:

I can't find an original source for that. Maybe he said it, maybe there have been several misquotes. More anecdotally, we all know how much people like to mock Chinese manufacturing as purely copy-cat and low quality. You can almost se

Without knowing what those protections are, we haven't learned much from either the story or the response. The gist of the story wasn't just that a lot was shared; it was that it was shared nefariously, borderline illegally, and
