Great recommendation! I haven't really used our local library because I keep forgetting that it's an option. But, I just checked and it looks like ours has the same Inter-Library Loan process for requesting books. Thanks, I'm

Aside from resolution, another reason suggested is to avoid slamming on the breaks in the middle of a highway for false-positives. https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-autopilot-why-crash-radar/

I'll use it while comparing multiple projects to guage community support and how "alive" the project is. Stars are obviously not the best representation, but it's a nice way to see how many other people have evualuated t

That seems like a really cool concept. But also way too free. How are they making money? Their privacy policy (which was hard to find) doesn't describe how they handle your transaction data, yet almost half of the policy is describing

For what it's worth, I'd argue the same should be permitted of a small car maker. If I want to go build my own cars, step 1 should be putting a motor on a chassis and being able to drive forward. Step 1 shouldn't be adding ai

If I were running my own company right now, this is probably the approach I would take. I'm a big privacy advocate, but I'm also anti-authoritarian and don't like being forced into things by overbearing laws. Blocking Europea

By that logic, doesn't the entire Internet fundamentally violate GDPR?

And while you're at at: every coffee maker should be a Keurig and buy only disposable utensils to save time washing silverware.

I like were this is going. When do we start burning books and arresting people who speak something that isn't in the list of Good Words?

Where can you buy those now? I remember they existed, but I thought that was basically a registrar bug that was fixed. The last time I searched around, I couldn't find any registrars that permitted emoji domain names.

Every week I still get a Quora Digest email, and every week, if I glance at it, I find myself asking "seriously, are these really the best there is?" I'm sure they're algorithmically picked, but it seems to be heavily

SA is still my go-to when I'm looking for some random stranger's advice on a topic. Bonus points because I think humor is a good thing to have included in any subject, including serious discussions.

I was about to say, this headline sounds like one of those fake papers generated by a machine learning algorithm, like SCIgen ( https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/archive/scigen/ ).

That's also a description of ads.

Anyone have any idea why it's on there?

I wish I could try this! I doubt there are many others here, but if anyone is still using a Windows Phone, I just submitted a suggestion for greyscale options to the MS Feedback Hub, so you can search "greyscale" there to upvote t

Cryptocurrencies and blockchains are not the same things.

This may be too basic for you depending on your experience, but this is a really great explanation of blockchains that I think even people without a technical background could understand: https://unwttng.com/what-is-a-blockc

This is what I want. I personally feel like I am (or should be) on the side of "unions are good", but I'm also confused by how much "unions are bad" sentiment there is. But my confusion is almost entirely because of

I find Windows trend to be quite odd, too. And that's really telling of an issue, because I'm still using my Windows Phone and desperately want more quality apps. However, when I move back to my desktop, I rarely use UWP apps--wit

For $5 a month I'll manually check Newegg every day (or so) and update an API for you.

I can see value in having someone capable of issuing alerts who is geographically _on_ Hawaii, as the potential for dropped communication lines seems problematic. I don't know enough about military/federal operations to know wheth

This would make a bit of sense. I think someone on here mentioned how the whole incident really highlighted that the general public has no fucking idea what to do if they receive a message like this. While it's worryingly similar to cr

Given all of the incompetency here, including the awful UI, and the password on a sticky note that got leaked, I wouldn't be surprised if the links themselves leaked info like: "Send missile alert (confirmation password is hawaii1

Yeah, this seems like a ploy to get people to install some shady browser extension.

Personally, I don't think CS should be a core subject in primary schools. I think it'd be better to have some kind of technology competency subject, to help teach basic use, problem solving, security and privacy practices, and wha

I don't use any apps at the moment for tracking medical records, but if I did, I'd be using Microsoft's HealthVault.

It thoroughly confuses me how every company seems to want to reach as many customers as possible yet most would rather invest time on maintaining multiple platform-specific native apps rather than have one good web app. It's just split
