I recently wrote a chrome extension that helps me curb my "compulsion loop." It's pretty simple; each time the browser loads a website that has potentially distracting content (think: twitter, FB, reddit, hacker news, rotowor

It could send everything, but you can do some pretty basic investigation to figure out if it actually does. Spoiler: It doesn't.

Do you really need to wear a watch to bed for that? Why not something less obtrusive and comfortable, like a sweat band around your ankle? BTLE is cheap, i'd rather wear two devices with focused purposes than a clunky watch with an ove

What's the difference between Austin and Boston when it comes to cooking brisket? Given the ubiquity of information and the ease of travel, I wouldn't place such a premium on location. Some of the best BBQ I've ever had was i

I really enjoyed this writeup. The author's persistence and commitment to a problem he found interesting reminds me of the energy I had before I worked at a big software company.

I was lucky to watch this video while first learning the language. Every beginner (coming from another language) should watch this to understand the idioms of Python.

If e-mail were indeed only messages from people we'd have no need for these products. But it's not realistic to expect that anything we pay close attention to won't be thwarted by some form of spam or advertising in this da

I'm in agreement that the author's words are a bit dramatic, but I can sympathize with his disposition. Police often use their power as leverage to put citizens in a stressful, fearful state (as to draw out a confession). It'

Some are speculating that Apple is more interested in the beats music streaming service. I'm not sure I buy that -- doesn't Apple nearly have its own? Even if they don't, surely they've got the foundation set to build on

It seems hard to say for sure that costs will be lower. The cost of a fully-autonomous/self-driving car is still unknown. Even if google is currently at the 90%, it's well-known that the last 10% is always the hardest. That last b

It seems like they're on the cusp of offering something similar for Google Now voice actions based on the Android Wear preview SDK. As both a user and developer, it's a welcome addition.

That's fair. I thought it seemed too polished to be an internal debugging tool, but perhaps I'm being overly optimistic. I guess we'll see.

The "App Ops" settings that they accidentally released seems evident enough that the feature is forthcoming. Am I missing something?

by scep12 12y ago
It was never released -- they removed access to a feature that was not intended for the public. That seems well within their right. For you to declare "Google seems to have no interest in protecting android users from this either.&quot

Is technology really responsible for the woes of the middle and lower class, or is it the discretion of corporations that, after having saved capital with technology, choose to spend their profits elsewhere?

Steps 2 and 3 may be better in the hands of the consumer -- in other words, while you can get away with probabilistic guesses for an initial query, you'd be better off leaving the consumer with an interface they can pick & choose f

First - what's simple about "simply scan the damn barcode"? Simplicity is telling your phone that you ran out of pasta sauce, not stocking a barcode scanner in your pantry. The hardware may be sleek, but amazon's solutio
