I read in one of Matt Ridley's books that there was a positive correlation between the number of male children a woman had and the chance of homosexuality in the next male child. i.e. more older brothers, more likely to be gay. Probably "Nature via Nurture" since that one was about epigenetics.
"They" have been arguing about corn for a decade. As in, some agree and some don't that the title should be "maize" since "corn" has other meanings in some countries. TFS seems to think that the ultimate goal is 100% agreement. That's not the point of Wikipedia. It's not perfect, and it cannot be because people have different preferences. Is it a valuable resource available to all? Yes.
Quack quack. It's called being nibbled to death by baby ducks. One failed "update" after another, absentee vendor support for major bugs, and so on. Eventually those cute little guys nuzzle their way through your chest and slowly wear your heart away.
Also hard to imagine how NYC would alleviate housing and transit issues associated with the old HQ. Are they planning to move half the Seattle staff to NYC?
That's part of the premise of Guns Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. He wrote that Europeans had a big advantage during their age of conquest because the large number of domestic animals they had available gave them far more immunity to diseases carried by those animals. Then those diseases caused havok in the Americas.
I don't think that argument is valid. Is there even such a thing as a "stronger" immune system in this context? Maybe stronger in regards to specific diseases. The advantage Europeans had was they were already exposed to the diseases carried by these specific animals, these diseases would not be present in animals on another continent. I believe the English word vaccine comes from the French word for cow, since an early smallpox vaccine was developed from the strain of smallpox present in cows. South American llamas would not have any variant of smallpox.
Unfortunately there is nothing in that wikipedia page about llamas helping provide relative immunity. How could llamas help immunize against diseases which didn't exist on the continent? And why wouldn't all the other groups who used llamas have the same increased immunity?
Good hearted folks aren't up at 11 PM US Eastern Halloween night playing internet experiments. Well, not very many at least. We hope the Chinese get in on it
The threat level for malware delivered via vulnerabilities in *already installed APPS* is almost non-existent. Meanwhile the threat from malicious updates continues to grow. Just talking about apps here, not the core OS and services. When was the last time someone got malware due to a vulnerability in Super Fun Solitaire? There is some wiggle room however, some apps perhaps we might want auto-update, like browsers. But the vast majority of them don't benefit from updating from either a user or security perspective. Ideally we would have a perfectly reliable curator deciding which apps are a benefit to auto-update. Well, we can dream.

Has there ever been a government so odious that they were unable to find people to carry out their policies?
Perhaps, but how would we hear of it? Unable to find people to carry out policies means it isn't a government anymore.

Don't "grow bigger" and "turn a blind eye to customers" virtually always go together? It's the cycle of life.
It's not a question of why, it's a fact that the llamas didn't have smallpox or other European diseases.
I had the same experience with Facebook Messenger. Interesting is that the power consumption app in android doesn't catch it.

at $100 million a pop, even the richest couldn't possibly fund their development for very long
They could if tickets were $1 million apiece
Sounds logical, I wonder if there is any empirical evidence to show it is true?
An additional $8,000 for a family is certainly not going to replace a livable income

This was a clever strategy to get credit for hiring two women, but only having to keep one on full time.

That is enough right there to get it on my Christmas list.

App auto updates should be disabled period. Who needs to burn bandwidth downloading a bug fix for some other phone model?
Use a standard measurement so everyone can understand FFS. OK, fine, how many Library of Congresses are there in an oodle?
Sue on what grounds? Libel/slander require proof of malice, not just inaccuracy.
Only ousted as chairman, not as CEO. So even more symbolic than the article says.
And for the crescendo we have The Bloop
This is also an old technique, at least on the Unix side, where attackers would create a new account with UID 0.
