I don't know if it's just a bribe either--who knows what they did to those iPads, I'm sure information from the police could be used for political gain.

I'd be interested in seeing how the funds were actually allocated, if the leaks actually leaked out of Facebook or if they managed to contain the leak.

The only products I use from Google originated somewhere else except Search and Gmail. Now I don't use Search or Gmail, either, Search started just giving me products to buy around the time they changed the algorithm, and I have lost t

Whoever owns the server can serve you whatever content the want. They can change it even, depending on the user.

I honestly see a successful AMP as the end of the web as we know it--there's no way for us to know if the content isn't censored by Google. I'm certain their plan is to sell their hosting service and show providers that they

I wasn't using Google for anything significant so it was pretty easy to delete it. If I care about a picture I'll print it and keep it in a book, I would never trust a corp that's only been in the data business for 10-15 year

Python 2 was pretty tasteful, simple, usable, the exception that proved the rule. I think Python has evolved since.

They actually don't know where I am, I don't always bring a GPS tracker with me or keep it on me at all times like most. I also don't use Google services other than YouTube, so that helps as well.

I just deleted it all, it was easier, now I just keep it all on my machine. No more takeout--home cooked meals. I can see why it doesn't appeal to all though.

Oh, and also even though we don't know why you're ill we also know for certain you'll also never get better, so here's some chemo drugs to take for the rest of your life.

Well, I don't assume malice, I can stay in a superposition. It could be malice, it could be incompetence, and it's important to be able to discern between the two, and that's purely contextual.

I'm sure given enough selection pressure virus's will find another vector of transmission, I don't think this will do anything except harm the ecosystem as a whole.

I think if you just decriminalize it instead of completely legalizing it then usually what happens is people will successfully hide it so they don't give away their dealer, and the cops get to go after a potential larger offender as we

We have one aesthetically pleasing brutalist building in Toronto, and it's Robarts. It's shaped like a peacock!

So I actually had a basic algebra system before they taught it to me, for what it's worth, probably something I figured out from the structure of the language my parents were using (both accountants). I'm a pretty rare individual,

In my experience teaching my friends and colleagues there are two ends of the learning spectrum--you can learn by example first or by theory first, or both, but the former is by far the lion's share of the population. I've taught

Source? I've heard the opposite, I'm not an expert but I do believe fusion is pretty imminent. Maybe not at MIT. We can achieve fusion already, so presumably we already have control of it? Check out lppfusion. https:/&

Yes, and we don't even need to use uranium, and it doesn't need to be as dangerous. Fusion is mainly a problem of scaling the system up now I believe, there are a few possible fuels depending on the method if I recall correctly.

I've never encountered an issue, with Privacy Badger and uBlock.

Right, fair enough. I think having as many as possible makes sense and they're worth the loss of convenience.

They may not be mutually exclusive. It's hard to press the off switch when you're strapped in and you're rapidly accelerating. When they control your every move through an invasion of privacy how can they stop burning the oil

I think the author misses a big point, and takes a lot of words to miss it. A book exists as a subset of a language--it itself can be considered a language itself--the way the words interact and how they relate is more important than any pa

Design your software for your users. They might be lazy. They might be eager. They might be both. Certainly, an app for those struggling with depression should be structured differently than one for those struggling to beat their weightlift

They eat all the nutrients in meat, just in pill form. It's not very convincing. Also they have tons of problems with insulin resistance and supplements have tons of flaws. Most of these athletes are spending much more and destroying t

At Waterloo in Canada we're taught in our computer security class that paper can be more secure than a computer, especially in a voting system, and in fact that's the reason we don't switch like our southern neighbours. I
