if your viewpoint is doing a "good job"then what would you prefer? Bad job by a bunch of idiots. Some of them get paid by the system, most are high calibre and can milk the teat of…

> the deluge of anti-FB, anti-Goog, anti-Twitter, etc articles. Maybe I'm viewing this too broadly, but I get an icky feeling of intentional furor construction. Those companies are…

'Yeah... we debated this a bit in some of our groups. But most of us already had Slack running for work at this point" so that makes Slack ok to start using it outside of business?…

"Slack groups work really well for me and a few of my groups of friends. Because we know they are exclusive, and won't spam us, we actually value them. When someone has a message f…

Health insurance companies are going to love this. Expect to see a spinoff for-profit organization that monetizes the tests (charging the end user of course - probably via their in…

Average users have a VCR? How would it work if they don't set the time on it? You bought (whatever) it (is) - so that becomes your problem. The average user falls for the marketing…

"For ordinary users, the situation is truly hopeless. They are pwned by default if they buy into IoT." when was it ever different? This is just a repeat of the "buy anti-virus" pha…

Having used all the encrypted call possibilities there are , you are, in my opinion, absolutely spot on. SC has exceptional clarity. WA isn't bad. Can you talk more about "our guys…

That is increasingly hard to do these days. Verified addresses etc are now minimum requirements to get the handset. Of course you can pay cash and make up an address

Forgive me for being a layman in these matters Are you saying "maybe/maybe not"? If they seem to be doing something that is "more or less" the same then my radar is triggered for t…

Did FB/WA clarify that they use the OW audio encryption algos, or did they just put the OW 'trophy' on the wall without the actual implementation? WhatsApp is, I agree, very good q…

that's interesting. I'm running a 2 year old Xperia Z3 and it never occurred to me that my CPU might be the issue, but SC seems to handle audio quality just fine edit - what did yo…

I love using Signal and will continue to make modest donations, but I would really appreciate an improvement in audio call quality. I still use Silent Circle for calls because it i…

Your statement is lacking in a few ways, so to correct you in simple terms... a database contains data that can be deleted and/or overwritten. Other than examining changelogs and r…

I'm hesitant to afford any particular value to educational practices in this case. Let's take the specific musical skill of composition, which I believe is at the root of musical t…

Without trying to cite what currently happens in the UK, I think it is fair to say that kids are handed instruments like the recorder at a fairly early age, and those that do well …

iTunes is actually SoundJamMP under the hood. That app was (if memory serves) released 16 years ago and subsequently bought by Apple. AFAIK the core of iTunes is still unchanged fr…

That's interesting from a personal perspective. I was taught music in the UK where that is specifically not used (or at least wasn't when I learnt). I took a year out of my Music d…

Just as it can be said that music requires at least 3 consecutive notes or beats to have a tempo and a rhythm, it can also be said that it requires a "cadence" which at bare minimu…

Is it true that you don't actually need "Roundup ready" weedkiller? Could you use plain old glyph instead?

Do you have any "roundup ready" chemical study that can determine, for example, what concentration of glyphosate (over the lesser killers) is in the commercial "Monsanto glyphosate…

yes that's true. What I was pointing out was that the consumer base is being totally ripped off Thanks for clarifying. It remains the case that glyphosate is what kills things most…

"The SEC had said that Monsanto lacked sufficient internal controls to account for millions of dollars in rebates that it offered to retailers and distributors. It ultimately booke…
