Last night, while putting my children to sleep, I tried to change the volume on my wireless headphones and instead called 911. It also woke up the children because it makes a loud noise like a car alarm. After I cancelled the impending call

Thank you. The comparison of MeowHash to SHA without mentioning MD5 or any actual performance numbers didn't make sense.

MeowHash is also a bad cryptographic hash. Can we compare properties instead of intentions? MD5 is faster than SHA. Is MeowHash faster than MD5 or not?

Not even a mention of MD5?

I found this headline to be strongly garden path. Didn't we used to quote proper nouns when they didn't appear to be nouns? "Rent the Runway" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence

Not a very good shill: Ring's cameras automatically record audio and cannot be configured to disable the audio recording.

Mods, can we make this a toplevel comment?

Two calibrated cameras and, more importantly, calibrated accelerometers and gyroscopes. Cameras alone aren't fast enough, and visual feature detaction not accurate enough, to provide a good experience. All of this is within reach o

For the same reason graphical programming languages are still unpoular, and the command line still rules: inputting normalized tags is many orders of magnitude harder than typing free text. Even on an adaptive touch interface. Even with tag

In case you missed this finer point, the Secretary of State who has certified these machines is also the candidate expected to win the election by a small margin. He has refused to recuse himself from the responsibility of ensuring a fair e

Exactly. Destroying those drives was spun as "oops we made a mistake". It's a lot easier to believe that someone accidentally erased a drive, even three times, than that someone accidentally destroyed millions of sheets of pa

Ok, but lets actually measure the temperature of the pot every now and then. I just bought an iPhone 8 pre-announcement because my phone was broken and in the store I realized that the (original) iPhone X is just too large. And there wasn

Seriously did you look at the chart compared to the Mac Rumors time stamps? This isn't butterflies and hurricanes. I'm not even sure why I'm writing this reply.

I agree on complexity, but when you see a clear up/down peak that is well correlated to a popular live event... you can make a decent guess.

The larger screen means you can't touch the far corner with one hand, though.

What pax has that money bought? Peace in Iraq? Afghanistan? De-militarization of Saudi Arabia? Iran? Israel? Correlation is not causation.

What problems does Flatpak solve from a user perspective? Assume the user is already using Ubuntu, and will download and run any shell script without a second thought.

The packaging system has very little to do with user adoption of a more complicated interface, or the success of proprietary software in a purposely open system. From the user's standpoint, package management on Linux is usually just h
