You're not being unfair, you're being a complete asshole. You want your daughter out of your house? Man up and tell her that straight up instead of trying to get her to leave so you can claim you didn't kick her.
From what I can tell, the app seems to do as it says and helps you move your data to iOS. I think the biggest reason for the criticism is that such an app would have a snowball's chance in hell of being approved on iOS for moving the other way around.
Um, why would Canada be anywhere near the top? I mean, big cities will have okay coverage and bandwidth, but we still have absolutely egregious pricing compared with the rest of the developed world. That 10Mbit is going to cost you far more in even the most populous downtown areas than it would in a backwater village in Sweden or France. I guess if you completely ignore prices, we'd have relatively good coverage, but a lot of people won't want to pay for it at the prices we have it at.
Now guess what happens when the system not only asks for a new password three times a year, but also restricts the password to never have been used before and to be exactly eight characters? People find a short 5 character password and append NYY (N = password number, YY = year).
Yes, I have to use such a system. Yes, it's as awful as you'd think it to be.
And we'll never fly heavier than air machines and we'll never split the atom and we'll never reach the Moon and and and... The thing with prediction the future is that more often than not you put your foot into your mouth (which is in itself a prediction of the future and therefore...).
I still like to take Grover's algorithm as an example of a somewhat mind-bending quantum computing application. Its typical use case is the search problem, i.e. searching for a particular value inside some form of storage like a database, and it can do so in O(sqrt(N)), which is quite simply impossible in classical computing since you have to visit every entry at least once (hence O(N)) to perform a full search. Now, Grover's algorithm is probabilistic in nature, so you may need to repeat the algorithm to determine the correct value, but value verification for such problems is generally simple (since the problems are generally at most NP-complete and NP-completion implies a P-space verification algorithm given a solution) and the number of repetitions is expected to be constant.
Of course, you can note that parallelization legitimately can compete with Grover's algorithm for very large datasets and very large thread counts, but on a purely theoretical level I still find it fascinating.
Of course, but if you listen to the narrative being peddled by a lot of people (including prominent media and websites), you'd think Jobs was nothing short of a one-man company genius, able to do tech design, aesthetic design, management, logistics, sales and marketing all by himself. The Steve Wozniaks and Jonathan Ives of this world tend to be quickly forgotten when attempting to create the new messiah, which Jobs entirely embraced, and fuck the ones who helped him. As with most large success stories, it involves a talented team and lots of luck rather than a single person magically doing everything perfectly.
It doesn't help that Jobs leveraged people like Woz, who's very candid and even humble, while being a total arrogant prick himself, even as the media try to portray him as an aspirational model.
As the lead dev for a prominent Freelancer mod, I can tell you it isn't. Our mod actually runs better on Windows 7, 8 and 10 than it does on XP these days because XP's lack of a proper WDDM makes it a complete mess to work with.
The only technology I know that'd let you do something similar to FedEx for humans would be GPS-enabled ankle monitors. You know, those we use to track dangerous criminals and where even then it's rather controversial in most of the (sane) world.
If Christie wants to be associated with that kind of stuff, I suggest he first volunteer for one. I'm sure he'd appreciate everyone knowing how many mistresses he has and with which party donor he goes to eat out.
Well, the app does help a great deal, because it's far more convenient, immediate and useful than trying to hail a cab or, heavens forbid, calling their horrible mess of a dispatch service. It's also the first step towards having Uber's other features, like driver ratings (which could theoretically happen with taxis, though a huge amount of drivers would probably fight against that). Newer/cleaner vehicles and pricing are the two things I don't see changing anytime soon though.
A double-blind test only ensures that the researchers and the subjects are not aware of any information that may affect their actions during the test. What is being tested has no impact on whether something is double-blind or not, and likewise for revealing that information after the test.
That test is on the contrary quite revealing, since it correctly decorrelates radio signals from symptoms, thus refuting the hypothesis that radio signals are responsible for the symptoms.
Oddly, Samsung's older versions of the Note (I have the Note 8) had a wider, angled end, which made it physically impossible to insert it the wrong way around. I really don't understand why they didn't just keep it.
I don't see any superiority argument being made by the GP, but I see an awful lot of it being made in the summary. Also, you do realize how incredibly resentful you sound, right? It's like you're jealous of the Euros or something.
Oh, and before you try to pull the same trick on me, I ain't European.
Problem is, I doubt the actual researchers could do anything about it. If I, as a researcher, decided tomorrow morning that I'd attempt to reproduce results from a bunch of other papers, I'd most likely lose all of my funding and would have no support from my university or research institution. You'd need a full top-down rework of science for something like that to pan out.
It's ironic too because we tend to waste a lot of time trying things that don't work, concluding that they don't work, and moving on to the next thing. If we'd published the negative finding, we'd ultimately save everyone else's time.
Socially conservative? Today, the countries enacting these new policies are doing so because of feminist lobbying. I'm not sure you know what 'conservative' means.
India, getting policies enacted because of feminist lobbying? Hahahahahahaha... Good one mate, good one!
Electric cars also have a few convenient unintended consequences for winter: since you're not using the waste heat from the engine to heat the cabin, you can instead have high efficiency fast heaters generate the heat. No more waiting around in a frigid car for five minutes while the engine slooooowly heats up!

I'm pretty sure the summary and submitter were going for that exact interpretation, but didn't want to spend a paragraph being pedantic.

The alternatives I hear most about seem to be 1Password and KeePass.
Yet with GPLv3, users don't have freedom to use it as they see fit - most of the applications they use won't be able to leverage the code.

The parent meant sending the encrypted zip file with a JPEG extension, thus generally bypassing zip archive recognition and analysis.

And kids were involved in way less than 100% of cases where sex happened. That's the point.

So the same as every other power source then.

Yeah, but that phone's got even worse specs than TFA's. 512mb of storage and RAM? That's gotta be an awful experience.
No thanks, we don't want our games designed by PHB's. Go back to your own job of creating... uhm... what do PHB's actually create?
Pain? Suffering? Awful articles that get linked on Slashdot for clickbait?

I watched an interview, this kid is AMAZINGLY mature.
Seriously, he gave better, more cogent and thoughtful interviews than most NFL or NBA players.
That's not a very high bar you just set there.
