    Yes, and these numbers have been established as what we in the industry call "invalid".

    Maybe they are an aircraft carrier that is deployed in places that no reasonable human can expect a service technician to visit, and this level of imbecility should generally be av…

    You're being bad for the community. But thanks for including a well - spoken, albeit opinionated reply, in your otherwise rude, projecting, and downright censorious comment.

    This rationale is fundamentally incorrect. God's gift of Free Will (unto Man) is specifically the power (with faith) to manifest that which is nondeterministic. Where you got this …

    There was insufficient context. Imagine I tell you "turn on that light, where I'm pointing". You'd do no better. No one here is under the conviction magical prescience is involved.…

    Indeed, the context is "people using natural language to make requests". No soul on earth would consider/use your phrasing. I (a human) have clue what your request is for - "lowest…

    Your false dichotomy is disingenuous, a distraction/derailment to the discourse, and does not engage in addressing the issue of a person wanting to pay the developer yet having no …

    An "interesting distance" at which this device could communicate is the distance which the Titan submersible operated below its ship.

    The argument for inevitability is inevitably a lie. His opinion is engulfed in the notion that there exists no individual whose will is truly free as if given by God alone.

    "Toying with an idea" is fundamentally considering its real world implementation unless your toy idea is intended to only ever be just fantasy.

    Or, as another apt metaphor, its like taking hydration tablets instead of water. Not that they don't help, but that you're using them wrong. In your example, it sounds like arrogan…

    Yeah, they may be great for empathy, but not so much for advice.

    Going to a priest may be cheaper, but when they say to "go to god" instead of to the police when reporting rape and abuse, it becomes quite costly.

    There's a lot of imagined, manufactured offense here which should perhaps remain packed up. You know a strawman fallacy makes your paraphrasing both inaccurate and rude, no?

    But can you uninstall the root certificates of an adversarial government (i.e., your own)? Is it now necessary that the chain of trust includes entities you don't trust?

    One of those countries is the US. Fax is unencrypted analog. If practice, tgis is ver certainly not secure. It's only "more secure" in the sense that unauthorized access to it coun…

    Fundamentally, IoT security will increase in proportion to repairability and our. ability to modify/reflash IoT devices. No other change will have as great of an effect. If we (the…

    Not all the value going over those lines is created by the cable company. In fact, very little of it is, and it can only exist on the vast majority of its path with taxpayer suppor…
