    France also has very strong gun controls. It is of course, more complicated than that. And, by the way, a man shot and killed 12 people in the UK in 2010 with legally held rifles: …

    "Cops are trained to push peoples buttons and make them lose control" They are? I could see why, say, detectives interviewing a suspect might use that approach to try to get them t…

    Yes, you can list (and listen to) your Echo voice command history, and delete them. Frustratingly, there is no bulk delete that I have found - you have to go through them individua…

    A cautionary tale: Echo starts recording when it hears the "wake" word ('Alexa' or 'Amazon'), but it can mistake other words or parts of speech for a wake word (for example, consid…

    I think the confusion stems from your verbing of "wall".

    As someone who travels regularly for work, I am absolutely OK with Apple trimming as much as they can from their laptops.

    A stall warning occurs when the angle of attack (angle between the wing and the airflow) is too high to maintain lift. There is a separate instrument for detecting this (which can …

    That will integrate other people's changes into your branch. But until you also merge your branch into master (and/or all other branches), you are not integrating your changes .

    That's really a function of your QA process, not anything specific to branching strategies. If you can automate everything such that continuous delivery (or even deployment) is pos…

    I don't consider not-branching to be a radical approach. If you are using branches you really aren't doing CI, because you aren't integrating continuously.
