"The only way to prevent this attack is for both Incognito mode and normal mode to use the same storage medium, so that the API runs at the same speed regardless," Li wrote.

I'd write it properly on multiple lines, but the forum separates them into paragraphs.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world wonders what "credit monitoring" even means. Is this a North-America only thing? I saw vague reports in UK, but it doesn't seem very relevant. My assumption is that it's somehow a consequence of the lack of ID cards. Or maybe it's just due to having a credit-based economy.
I assume this is the classical trick, where the UK-based business is paid like a third-party for the work they do, as if just any group of people picked from the street would create a product of the exact same quality.
What we see is that the creators of the game generating the income are British, and happen to be owned by an American company. What the accountants see is that the company producing the game is American, and have outsourced the work to a random outfit that they pay just enough to not go bankrupt.
It is actually more efficient when data centers are relatively close to the users. That pretty much kills it for Iceland.
That said, the days are long gone when data centers operated at frigid temperatures and spent half their power supply on air conditioning. Nowadays, they are unbearably hot, and spend less than 15% on cooling. Choosing a cooler climate to save on cooling is less important than choosing a location with cheap energy to save on the actual bit crunching.
Last time, the Republicans chose the far-out extremist rather than the same-old moderates, and the Democrats chose the same-old moderate rather than the extremist. According to all logic, the moderate should have grabbed the center and won, but it seems like logic does not always apply.
Now that extremists seem to be doing well in the Democrat primaries, people are worried that their candidate will be too extreme to be elected. I'm wondering if being prudent rather than bold is really the right strategy here. Maybe people just don't want to vote for somebody who says that nothing should change.
On the other hand, on a strategic point of view, it could be very good for the Democratic to have extremists proposing insane plans, even if they get rejected.This might well open the Overton window.
Wow, Google+ must have been way more successful than I thought... Except that in a few seconds, I can think of Facebook, Pinterest, WhatsApp, Instagram, WeChat, Twitter, Weibo, Snapchat, Linkedin that are more successful, so I don't know how they get that number. And I'm not even counting dating apps like Tinder.
Yes. It's always refreshing to me when a couple is able to separate and decide to go their own way without drama; but when there is such a fortune involved, I find it downright inspires respect.
But it is a bit funny to see him congratulating his wife on deciding to give most of her money to charity, considering he does not exactly have the image of a philanthropist.
I know very little about OS design, but I find it very interesting to see somebody attempting to create one from scratch, "The Right Way", with the depth of knowledge to understand long-term requirements and common pitfalls, and with enough power and resources to make it succeed.
Essentially, this could potentially have as much influence on the history of computers as the creation of Linux.
"Sale ends tonight", "Last room available at that price" are pretty much standard. I'm not sure whether "Influencing users' behavior by describing the experiences and behavior of other users" is intended to cover user satisfaction surveys and customer reviews?
Most of all, "Using visuals, language, or emotion to steer users toward or away from making a particular choice" is so vague that it describes literally any advertisement ever made.
I don't think that the best way to fight a political opinion is to ostracize people who have that opinion. That's how we end in a fragmented society where everybody belongs to a small opinion bubble and refuses to speak to others.
Making enemies is like casting your garbage in the sea. It will come back one day, smelling worse.
It's the traffic. Google has a lot more data on what people click on, so it's easier for them to know what people are looking for.
Bing is okayish in English, because they have a large enough market share to have data, but in other languages the quality reflects the low usage.
The % revenue they are getting from their drivers is negative. I.e they are actually paying drivers more than what customers are paying. Because they want market share. They hope that eventually, they'll have so many customers that they can raise prices, or lower costs with self-driving cars. Well, investors hope that. Executives are already rolling in cash, so they don't care whether it ultimately works or not.
I assume that by this point, Google is considering yearly billion-dollars fine from the EU as "just the cost of doing business".
If I understand correctly, the claim is that Google is "broadcasting" data such as screen size, language settings and user interests when choosing which ad to display? I don't quite get who is "receiving" the data, though. I would have thought that the ad auction is happening on Google servers and third-parties never see the data. Or is that displayed later in statistics of who clicked on the ads?
Due to the distances involved by the moon orbit, that person was nominated in the What If...? xkcd book as the human that was furthest away from any other human in history.
(Probably, unless somebody got lost on a boat somewhere around Tasmania before Australia was inhabited)
I also prefer the fingerprint reader in the back. I admit I find inconvenient to pick up the phone in order to use the reader; but I have no such issue in the car holder because mine leaves the back open and easy to reach. At some point, somebody will put a reader on both sides...
all that parent has to do is simply apply for citizenship status for their child by way of supplying documentation of birth and custody and then it's just granted.
Not quite. The citizenship is granted automatically, even without applying for it, whether the parents want it or not. It is not possible to refuse. The child cannot even renounce US citizenship until they're 18.
People may try to hide the fact they're US citizens, but if the IRS finds them out, they'll still have to pay income tax.
