1. Only in salt water 2. Only over time 3. And actually we still do not know. Slightly disappointing.

Yep, it is Dunning-Kruger effect. If rolling back works for a simple system, why wouldn't it work for a complex one? Because one cannot step into the same river twice. Heraclitus would probably make a good engineering manager.

I've read it as "we'll stop posting silly updates to this incident until we actually know something", not "we'll stop rolling out updates to our services". I'd wage that Microsoft practices had nothin

It is kind of helpful, but I agree that it should be an opt-in in accessibility settings.

I think that would be a good FBI case. I am sure it is a minimum of 2 charges, probably more (conspiracy to commit fraud over the state line, wire fraud).

I learned to code on MK-52. It was fairly cheap and accessible by the time i have got my hands on it. After programming (and patching) in hex codes, any other programming language seems fairly simple. And on the back of MK-52 there was a po

How about we talk about building infrastructure? The whole Bay Area is building like crazy, and yet the roads are getting worse (more building? more traffic lights!). Public transportation is a big joke around here. Caltrain from South San

Take a look at the graph: https://oceanacidification.noaa.gov/OurChangingOcean.aspx ~8.1% was not alarming 50 years ago, so why 8.3% should be alarming now? I would be more concerned about the curve slope and shape.

And the article provides a link to nice graph one can extrapolate back or forward: https://oceanacidification.noaa.gov/OurChangingOcean.aspx

This is a purely political statement. It is pretty easy to release cars on paper. A market for political statements has always had a pretty low entrance barrier, all you need is a good PR manager.

Linked article says: > “The server itself did not contain any user activity logs; none of our applications send user-created credentials for authentication, so usernames and passwords couldn’t have been intercepted either,” said the spok

Which part? The price? Yes, it is ridiculous. The method of replacing entire MCU? Maybe not, flash is likely not the only component in there that has an age limit.

This probably replaces wifi mesh devices - eventually, or pretty soon, depending on some exec's ambition.

Every single router vendor does this. It is an issue, but it is not a google issue.

pg&e owns the grid. A lot of bay area residents generate their own power, but we all rely on pg&e for interconnect. And without grid, solar panels shut themselves off.

I have upvoted op because it is an interesting topic. I upvoted your comment because it is more interesting than the op. I would use occam’s razor to say that the pattern you see is normal. It is a pity we do not see enough posts on problem

That is s a good interview question. Gills? Direct oxygen injection?

As a human being (that happens to be a US citizen), I find OP's comment really disturbing. The whole comment is whataboutism, so maybe this was just an intentional red herring.

The author is probably an English major. He was waiting all his life to finally say 'you see, my degree is not completely useless'. He would, of course, be completely and utterly wrong - both in justifying his degree, and his anal

'Rich' is a relative term. > living in a $1.2 million home and earning more than $250,000 a year. In other words, you make enough to not qualify for any aid, bit not enough to have $60k/yr disposable income. I see where th

You are correct for weight loss . The only reliable way to lose weight is to consume fewer calories. However, when it comes to supporting your current weight, it is fairly easy to hit equilibrium with exercise.

Every 3rd party service has a dark (or grey) side. This is a trade-off for offloading some functionality onto 3rd party.

Interestingly, ergodicity has two meanings ( https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ergodic ): 1. of or relating to a process in which every sequence or sizable sample is equally representative of the whole (as in re

In bay area, we call them mountain lions. Because this is what park warning signs call them.
