Let me preface this by first saying that I absolutely can't wait to have my own personal home automation, AI assistant, etc. on prem without the cloud: I think that as far as the nascence of these features goes, the cloud model will be

I don't think a warrant for specific information changes that calculus; collecting additional information outside the scope of the warrant would be illegal regardless.

I think that a warrant that allows the exposure of your IP address through intrusive software that exploits a security weakness is valid, assuming that you receive the software after visiting a site and performing a criminal action. It&#x27

This would seem to suffer from a similar problem, given that we travel on and interact with roads primarily. Decoupling from that seems like it would be set to fail for human memory, since there would probably be nothing to reinforce the me

Give Cinnamon/Mint a whirl; I couldn't "do" Linux desktops until Cinnamon. It works really well out of the box. It's not quite as OSX-y as Unity but Unity had a few quirks that I couldn't stand.

I think this is akin to saying that windows and doors are vulnerable to rocks and bump keys/battering rams, respectively. In the case that police take advantage of the real world counterparts, they're expected to have warrants des

The same can be said for screen clipping an Excel graph, which can be done at any point, and there's an additional bonus in that the layperson can see and manipulate the data as well. It's a(n admittedly poor) self-contained docum

Knowing in my head and having it tab out are two different things. Interfaces will without a doubt tell you what you can do with a given object. With polymorphism you most assuredly know what types the arguments are inside each signature yo

It is, but it has a lot harder time deciding what type of object I'm working with in a function vs. being able to specify the object's class in the function arguments. You can get that with docstrings but it's not as straight
