you start thinking about it and make up the oddest conjectures. As long as you can not or are unable to test those conjectures, it seems logical. And you start convincing other people of your logic, because you think you are correct.
Religion works the same way.
"That small"... I manage a dataset like that. It's 50.000 rows in Excel and has vlookups, sumifs and pivots galore. It makes my Excel crash regularly.
But they "need" it in Excel because they need to do manual changes on that. When I tell them that that's also possible in Access, the reactions range from blank stares, to "I don't know that" to "you're not taking the Excel sheet away from us!".
I've managed to clean it up a bit, the generation of the data was also an Excel fest. Luckily that came under complete control of me and now in stead of 4 ours wrangling Excel, it's a 15 minutes Access job.
It is stupid to use Excel for that kind of datasets. One of the biggest mistakes Microsoft made was lift the limit of 65536 rows.
it never comes close enough to impose gravitational influence on the Solar System's giant planets,
I would think the massive diameter of 300 km is enough to make sure of that. What kind of gravitational influence would an object like that have, even if it were to come close?
Het is degene die een voertuig bestuurt verboden tijdens het rijden een mobiel elektronisch apparaat dat gebruikt kan worden voor communicatie of informatieverwerking vast te houden. Onder een mobiel elektronisch apparaat wordt in elk geval verstaan een mobiele telefoon, een tabletcomputer of een mediaspeler.
roughly translates to: it is forbidden for everyone operating a vehicle to use or hold in your hand a mobile electronic device that can be used for communication or informationprocessing. A mobile electronic device does at least encompass a mobile phone, a tablet computer or a mediaplayer.
Using your electronic shifter is not covered under this law. The wireless control unit might be, if you hold that in your hand.
Can someone please modify Android (I suppose I'd have to ask Apple to do the same for Ios) so that I can enter a duress password/gesture at the unlock phase so that it will show a perfectly viable phone, but with everything protected?

Exactly. That someone, idk 40 years after the invention of WYSIWYG editors and proportional fonts, is writing an article about this must mean that there really is nothing to report. Even I was looking at which font was the best to make my essays longer, and I've played with CP/M
But hey, it's The Verge. The people that tell you to put an extra layer of cooling paste on your CPU when your cooler already has the stuff preapplied, or the people that tell you to put your PSU in the correct way or otherwise it will make a short-circuit with the case (and then screws it on with metal screws).
None of the alternatives to Google maps have their own alternative to Street View that is anywhere even close to being as complete, and of the ones that I've tried, they are so incomplete as to be only very modestly more useful than an overhead map in the first place.
What I am trying to say is that OSM in 2010 also was no alternative to Google Maps. And see where it is now. Mapillary is also in the upstart period. Mapillary received 4.7 million images from the Arizona DOT just recently. https://www.facebook.com/mapil...
Sure, it may not be an alternative now, but as fgouget says: the numbers are on our side. In a few years time it will be an alternative and might even serve more purposes than Google Streetview.
One of the things that comes across is that each of the people working for NASA is proud of what they do. They were always working collaboratively,"
Really? I would never have thought that. I always thought NASA was a backstabbing lying organisation where each and every employee was out to get the other one and where nothing ever went right because everyone was only doing their own thing.
Huh. Guess I was wrong.
The upside of this weather is that solar energy production has gone up massively. July boosted my record month to 15% over the previous record getting more than 20% more than my average july month.
I'm not going to downmod this. In the Netherlands the government seems to be intent on stopping the general public from deploying solar energy by changing the feed-in rules and not wanting to tell how they are going to change it. Solar should have been on every roof by now. Germany was a good example, but the krauts also burn way to much lignite.
It's not just facebook. It is prevalent in any design process but looks to be especially bad in software.
Example: I use a popular 3rd party launcher on my android phone. They made an update and for some reason several features that I was using do not exist anymore. It all looks different even though I changed no settings myself and I can't get it to look the same as it was.
Why would developers do that. That seems to be a blatant disregard of your users. Maybe it is driven by monetary designs: you have to pay to get your old version back, maybe it is ignorance of what your users really use, maybe it is stupidity
Whatever reason there is behind it, it is annoying. You keep having to switch between apps because the one you use and like just did a 180 and it looks crap now.
And have to replace it every year because of rock damage? And to hear that it was hacked after another so I need to replace it for an updated secure version? All at my cost of course?
How can you even think of offering this to customers. You must think we are really stupid.
Why need such an elaborate scheme to check if your ad is being broadcast? Surely you can rig something to record a channel and check that programmatically? Why would you need a third party phone for that? Unless you want to check your exposure rate. And then still: why does Facebook need this and not the party that paid for the ad?
My first idea when reading your response was that Facebook was maybe trying to get the reaction to the ad from the viewer. "Hey! That's a cool gizamadoodle! Let's go out and buy that right now!"
But however I look at it, it is a wholly new level of intrustion alltogether. And yet another proof that that robot that's controlling Facebook can not be trusted.
How can the smartphone ever hear the audio fingerprint if it is not already listing to everything at all times? So this can only work if the smartphone is already hearing everything and then I don't see a reason why you need a trigger to send everything that is overheard to facebook.
Lets just hope that this only works when you have the facebook app installed. So don't install that app. If you really need that shite... errr... site, you can also open it in you browser.
The problem with Google's "smart" things is that they are not particularly smart. They are positively moronic.
Youtube is a prime example. "Oh, you watched one cat movie? Guess we can spam you with cat movies now". I'm clicking the "not interested" button very frequently and youtube does not seem to understand why. As an example: every clip for subject X I see I'm not interested in to see in my recommended list. If I want tosee X, I'll look for it. Yet, it keeps showing me clips with subject X. No! Go away! Show me other things!
Or it shows me clips A-L in de recommended, I'm not interested in any so I reload the page and it shows me at least 4 clips of the previous page. No! If I wanted to watch them, I would have. Don't show them again!
No idea when having your first name as an email became something to brag about, but for me you can only have bragging rights if your name (and connected email) is dmr.
You do not understand. You're using a google product. That product can change at any time because you want it. We know you want the change because you are using it.
Oh, and because our complaints mailbox does not work.
Search for "EU vs Disinfo" for the EU backed try to do this. They failed woefully. Basically what is was was EU censorship "you do not follow the EU guidelines and propaganda so you are fake news". And then you're branded as being not credible as a journalist...

Microsoft does not give s#!t about your user experience.
Totally. Good to see that money can buy you morals. No money: sell out to Facebook!. Money: #HateFacebook!
I have no money and no talent to monetize.

I guess I can't wear cotton shirts anymore then.

Which is exactly how OSM started. Compare this image of Worcester in 2008 to how it looks now.

Because of CO2 going into the atmosphere and that being one of the drivers of climate change?
