  1. They may discover that going through the speech channel forces the mind to refine throughs. What is a raw through that has not been verbalized?

  2. openssl s_client -connect imap.example.com:993

    That does not check certificates, see the man page to add the relevant options.

  3. Ohhh wow, I bet Google never thought of that! You should email them right away and let them know.

    I never thought they could be unaware of the challenge. I am just skeptical about their chances of doing something that really works here.

  4. Other potent molecule against flu on South Indian Frog Oozes Molecule That Inexplicably Decimates Flu Viruses (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    We already have a non-toxic molecule able to efficiently prevent flu, it is called vitamin D.

  5. How did they do before? on China's First Cargo Spacecraft Launch a 'Crucial Step' To Space Station (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    How did they feed Tiangong-2 with supplies before this achievement?

  6. The home is a place where brothers and sisters with really similar voices can live together. Since some parents have trouble distinguishing their children's voices, Google will have a hard time there.

  7. Summary is not clear, neither is TFA. Does AI better use the usual data (age, cholesterol level, blood pressure), or did it use other data (waist size, alcohol intake, omega-3/omega 6 fat intake...)?

  8. Particle that does not exist on Microsoft's Cool Quantum Computing Plan Embraces Cryogenic Memory (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    What is this particle that does not exist? TFA does not tell about it. Because it does not exist?

  9. Re:Tipping on New York Plans To Force Uber To Add Tipping Option (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    ...and cause a production crisis because poor workers cannot afford to purchase the produced goods.

  10. The summary actually contradicts the title.

    Three of the exploits found in the leak have not been patched but do not work on platforms that Microsoft currently supports, such as Window 7 or later and Exchange 2010 or later.

    Many people still run XP and are at risk because of three unpatched flaws.

  11. Tipping on New York Plans To Force Uber To Add Tipping Option (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    From a non American, tipping seems weird. If worker's income is too low, why lawmaker prefer to enforce tipping rather than minimal wage increase?

  12. Alternatively on Steve Wozniak Predicts The Future (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Alternatively, our society will have exhausted a key resource required for the next technological revolution required to get rid of it. Everything will collapse, and nothing the Woz describe will happen.

  13. Do we know how they are able to see the eyes through sunglasses?

  14. French major operators have been doing this country-wide for years. At least the experience can help calming down nervous users.

  15. Probable bias: the same persons would probably have different answers when asked as consumers or as workers...

  16. Revoke credential on Researchers Develop Master Fingerprints That Can Break Into Smartphones (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Biometric authentication is a bad idea most of the time,because once someone managed to impersonate you, you cannot revoke authentication credentials: in other words, you cannot change your biometric fingerprint.

  17. Please don't give me that limpwristed, incompetent bullshit that Google is 'avoidable'

    I use DuckDuckGo, OpenStreetMap...

  18. Clever move on Air Force Converts F-16 Jets Into Wingman Drones (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Next step is a grounded F35 used as a control center for unmanned F16. That will fix the numerous F35 issues.

  19. Re:That is retarded. on VPN Providers Report Huge Increase In Downloads, Usage Since Privacy Rules Were Repealed (ibtimes.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The privacy rules WERE NEVER IN EFFECT

    But repealing them shows an intent, and there is some rationale to react to just that.

  20. There are also many instances where copying a competitors product became widely successful.

    And that can happen without even killing the original, which is smart, because you can copy from it multiple times: Mac to Windows PC.

  21. Do we have an idea of how much density (byte per surface unit) it can achieve?

  22. Re:Twitter and Scala on Ask Slashdot: Should I Move From Java To Scala? · · Score: 1

    The argument was that scala introduces a big learning curve for new developers

    If that is the problem, use PHP instead. Or BASIC.

  23. Re:Appeal on Italy Bans Uber (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    It is most likely not "bubbeling up" to an EU court.

    Why would it?

    Because this is about market, and EU business is mainly about market regulation. Uber will likely argue that Taxi licenses are market distortion that must be removed, and I am not certain about the outcome.

    Do not forget that EU justice court (that must not be confused with European Court on Human Rights) already produced nasty ruling like Laval and Viking cases, where free market prevailed over other fundamental rights./p

  24. Appeal on Italy Bans Uber (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 2

    While this is a good news for everyone that consider Uber is evil, this is not final victory: they will appeal.

    The case is likely to bubble up to the EU Justice Court.

  25. Firehouse on Twitter To Developers: Please Love Us Again (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Twitter plans to simplify its offerings by releasing one way to get access to the Firehouse

    Are you certain it is not "firehose" instead?
