Earlier this week, the FBI asked the court for a continuance so it could do some research into a proposed method of cracking the [iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino, California shooters].
Why are you putting that in brackets?
Usually brackets like this indicate an alteration to a quote for clarity or taste, such as 'The defendant stated that he had "never seen the stupid [female dog]"'
If you're not linking to something from which this can be seen to be a quote, why are you putting the brackets in? It's not helpful.
thus indicating that lower computer usage could be help predict cognitive decline.
Does it say anything about not being able to write cromulent English?
Anyway. Why is the link being made in this direction? It seems to me - not knowing anything about the study, I will admit - that using a computer seems more likely to cause a larger hippocampus than the other way around.
The research results showed that an additional hour of computer use each day was linked to a 0.025% larger hippocampal volume. The scientists thus concluded that lower computer usage could be used to predict cognitive decline.
Right, so why did they "thus conclude"? It does say:
A causative relationship has not been ruled out
By which from context I assume they mean the internet use causing the larger hippocampus (though of course a smaller hippocampus could also cause less frequent computer use)
It might be impossible for you to use VR for more than 10 minutes - and it would probably be the same for me. I get vomitous playing Metroid Prime on a small TV. Other people don't seem to have this problem.
Well, "great" is subjective, but regardless, I don't see what one particular author's route to fame and fortune has to do with the assertion that "Great writers don't tend to be highly intelligent (if they were, they'd get work that pays better)."
Stephen King wrote several novels or so while working as a teacher during the school year and the laundromat during the summers. Most were rejected. His first published novel, "Carrie," earned him a $2,500 advance. The paperback rights got him $200,000. The rest was history.

As in only the standard safety tests that all cars currently go through, and nothing else? One of the articles could be read that way, but neither is crystal clear.
Urmson argues that if a self-driving car can pass standardized federal safety tests, they should be road-legal.
Umm, yes, seems reasonable...
Sorry, is there any actual story here? It's practically tautological. Of course there should be some kind of safety test for self-driving cars before they're allowed on the roads for any reason other than testing. Was anyone expecting anything else?

"Aha," says the surgeon. "So this is the thumb that has something wrong with it?" Ka-chop.
He made it too easy. Should've written "The other thumb is not the incorrect one." Everybody loves logic puzzles!
What's that got to do with this?

One thing I've always wanted is the ability to open a context menu, select an item, and keep the bloody menu open.
Does any OS/WM do this? RISC OS used to (with the right mouse button) but I've never seen it anywhere else.
Not at all. They're extremely useful for identifying acronyms, initialisms and proper nouns. And, yes, the beginnings of sentences.
What they're not useful for is being arbitrarily stuck on every word just because that's how newspapers used to do it.
(and no, just because you can find a set of rules, that doesn't make it any less arbitrary)

China Is On an Epic Solar Power Binge
Poor "an." Why doesn't "an" get a capital letter?
Of course the real question is why all the other words do, when No-one Ever Writes Anything Else Like This.
It might be impossible for you to use VR for more than 10 minutes - and it would probably be the same for me. I get vomitous playing Metroid Prime on a small TV. Other people don't seem to have this problem.
Or, at least, that's what you told prospective viewers it was when you were trying to sell your house.
To be fair, they've been trying with a new Zelda for a long time...
Interesting project, but perhaps not entirely practical for deployment in the field.
Now pay attention, 007...
The computer will hope to emulate the Raspberry Pi, of which more than eight million have been sold.
Not literally, of course; not even that figuratively, either, since they're not selling any of them.
Like me, when I accidentally a word. Fuckit.
(I nearly accidentally a word just then, too)
we will not replicate the mistakes made by others
Nope, you'll just brand new mistakes of your own!

She can reply to basic questions and comments and she will even...
Yes?
...tell you when she was activated if asked.
Oh. That was a lot less interesting than the word "even" suggested it was going to be.

The same goes for drivers.

How much difference does general relativity make when measuring the solar system?
If the Sun and all the planets were removed, would the distance between where the Sun was and where Voyager is change?
Mmm, infinite pie.
Only because they redefined true as false in a previous bill.
What's problematic is that Microsoft chose to throw a party that clearly caters to heterosexual men by hiring women as objects of sex.
Oh, right, thanks for adding that, because I was having such great difficulty working it out from the rest of the summary.
