For me it's the slurring compression artifacts as much as the lag that makes cell phone conversations, web meetings, etc. inferior. Local digital cell phone calls mimic the old cross-country long distance analog calls of yesterday in t

Nope. This is yet another story, which broke last week: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/12/06/tidalgate... "The whistle was blown by two Australian scientists Dr. Albert Parker and Dr.

"propaganda for a just cause" That's a troubling turn of phrase.

This isn't really about evidence. It's an argument from emotion, and obviously effective.

But that breaks the value of this finely-crafted propaganda and won't help the cause, brother. You can't question the Official Narrative(tm). Now off to the re-education camp with you!

This is getting really, truly absurd. Might as well trade in four-leaf clovers. They're solar generated, renewable, organic, gluten free, etc. etc. etc. And just as worthless. Let me take that back. At least clovers can be plowed back

Your understanding of social boundaries, social cues, and personal space (and the lack of respect for this) is very unusual. Others have a right to privacy, and what you attribute as malice could be due to shame, embarrassment, fear, or a h

Yes, what a surprise that they ranked in order of price, but what did surprise me was how dramatic that price difference was: $60k Tesla, $41k Bolt, $37k Leaf. Who would have thought - a car that costs twice as much gives a better experienc

Thank goodness they were able to squeeze in those new emojis in the latest release, however! Finding bugs of this serious nature should always be welcomed, but it should happen in advance of production release. As a result I imagine there w

Security focused and American manufactured (not just assembled)?? Good tools cost more, and are worth it. Your product just went to the top of my shopping list.

Agree with you there & appreciate the clarification. I would only add that many of those who obsess with optimization and "clever" programming, have never had to go back and maintain that code. I've looked at far too many

I agree - you can present a topic before the student is ready and confuse. That happens quite often, in fact. But it's not the fault of the language. And the student must have that background to be prepared. C was the "universal a

Yes, of course, but it's IN THE CLOUD, don't you see? I'm waiting for 10 years from now when we rediscover the ability to write native applications in one language that run on the local OS & processor. No doubt it will be

I'm more concerned that the "exploit" works "after a few tries" and not the first-time-every-time, or not at all. One would think that something as simple as a login would be deterministic.

I feel confident that layering more technology layers on top of the already flawed design isn't going to fix this. Making car keys an IoT endpoint on a cell network strikes me as one of the worst ideas ever. It is begging for exploits
