I use Windows and I use the Harman-Kardon Invoke (the one with Cortana integration) the Pandora skill has been "Coming Soon" since last summer... I would be using it all the time if the skill was available already. PANDORA: Release the skills and suddenly your usage metrics will increase (or don't and hope that I actually renew my subscription despite using the service less and less every single day).
Because sometimes software packages have so many dependency trees that running a virtualized Linux instance ("subsystem") is most reasonable solution, especially when you want to transfer data or networking calls between the software stacks.
In other words, not all software source-code can be recompiled for native Windows functioning without breaking the Windows environment. This subsystem route provides an isolated environment for the Linux-dependent software to run within a restricted-yet-accessible operating container.
The option is "Report details to Google" and it defaults to being Checked. When I uncheck it, then eventually shut down the Chrome process (on Windows), then restart Chrome and verify its status, it remains as Checked.
So, essentially, this option cannot be disabled except MAYBE momentarily. Is it a feature or a bug?
With NS Lookup times, a PING log is worthless when comparing DNS servers. The only thing a PING log can illustrate is the network performance of your ISP and its proximity to low-latency network segments.
So I assume you've never heard of Cloudflare before this piece of news? If you were familiar with their areas of expertise, then you would trust what they do (or not). Again, you might trust your entire personal network, even though they may not actually know the truth. Cloudflare is trusted as much or more than Akamai, if you're looking for a "root source of trust" (which is somehow "classic" which itself doesn't make sense to me).
The Slashdot summary lacks depth, but their whole value proposition is that they don't even log... so performance is gained because they don't try to log all activities PRIOR to resolving your query; rather, they proactively discard all traffic-related logs within hours/days... and that's their long-term privacy AND network performance proposition.
We need a root source of trust or everything else falls apart.
What does trust even mean? What is the purpose of establishing trust with a root source if the information itself should not be trusted?
Whether you trust a source or not, the value of the information depends on the individual consumer's actual needs. When you ask directions from somebody, you might not trust their character or judgment for all things (like their eye-witness account of a recent crime) but their general insights ("the theater is near city hall, maybe 3-4 traffic lights down the road") may be absolutely sufficient for your needs (e.g. confirming general directions).
Same thing applies to DNS queries. If you feel more comfortable trusting undercover foreign government spies more than your in-laws, then that's totally up to you -- nobody else should DICTATE whom you should allow yourself to trust. I, for one, trust network services firms with global footprints to assist with scalable name resolution services... you, go trust the devil you already know very, very well.
From their website, "Verisign respects your privacy. We will not sell your public DNS data to third parties nor redirect your queries to serve you any ads."
In other words, they collect and analyze all sorts of traffic patterns and what-not... but they won't hijack your traffic to provide you with ads. That's all fine and good (and expected) but this isn't 2001 anymore; it would be nice if they simply never collected any traffic data in the first place... and that's what CloudFlare DNS is offering.
Cloudflare still constantly interferes with VPN connections and hasn't figured out how to distinguish between not traffic and real VPN traffic. It would be nice if they could focus on that. Normally I just AVOID sites with Cloudflare for that very reason.
WUT?!
I can honestly say I don't fully understand your remark. VPN traffic is one thing, DNS resolution is another thing, and they provide so many other things (including CDN). So, umm, what's the problem with VPN connections between your client device and your VPN network provider's ability to route traffic properly?
So where do the original bubbles come from? They surely cannot remain within the synovial fluid pockets if they are bursting (thus causing the sounds which were mathematically modeled... because that's what they wanted to model, supposing that there are tiny bubbles in the first place).
What about the possibility that ligaments are also involved? And that the displacement of ligaments are 'slapping' the bubbles around? Or what about all of the other things in the human body?
Freedom of speech - is it ok if I distribute your home address, times of coming and going etc? What about your bank details, the school your kids go to? Is it ok if I tell people how to make nukes? To advocate for child pornography?
We live in a society, and that means limits on my freedoms so that I don't impinge on yours, and vice-versa. Get used to it.
In the US, legally speaking, every citizen has a reasonable *expectation* of privacy but absolutely nothing witnessed *while in public* is restricted from being spoken about *in public*.
There are different constitutional amendments related to these topics, notably freedom of speech and rights to privacy. Interpreting the constitution to an actual lawsuit relating to an edge case of invasion of privacy versus censorship, for instance, is the exact role of the SCOTUS... that's why they provide opinions, not final verdicts. The judges of the US Federal Court of Appeals, however, do render the final judgments that are legally-binding; the SCOTUS is essentially their supervisors who can only be brought into a case when the affected parties files an appeal requesting the SCOTUS to actually step in -- the SCOTUS doesn't just opine cuz they're bored.
I wonder if Google are also blocking images from art and literature that show the naked human form?
From my direct interactions with Google employees, to use a term Anonymous Coward uses below your comment, it is "radial leftist feminists" who are pushing for porn censorship. In other words, it is the RLF from within Google itself who are pushing and enforcing their agenda upon the rest of the world.
Would Google/Alphabet ever admit this? Of course not. But they exist, and they hate you both virtually and IRL.
So the GMO crops succeed at helping neighboring non-GMO crops because... the GMO crops keep spreading into the non-GMO crops, thus making an originally-non-GMO crop gradually become a GMO-contaminated crop... and the benefits of GMO have now been measured in originally-non-GMO.
This is not news, per se. This is the well-known behavior of GMO crops (spreading beyond their original boundaries) so I give this PR spin 9/10 points.
@SuperKendall, there's so much more to infrastructure than the few consumer services you personally use... and you've actually argued in support of the weak-infrastructure opinions. iTunes was announced in 2001, iCloud launched in 2011. For iTunes to finally be perceived as "stable" only very recently (but they still have scalability issues with iOS updates) and for iCloud to be "really stable and performed well for at least the past year" means they've both been struggling with infrastructure for longer than they've been stable.
Funny enough, iCloud infrastructure is outsourced to AWS and Azure (and Google Cloud now) so that explains its own stability. But Apple has an infrastructure partnership with IBM that's supposed to make everything Apple amazing, especially inside the mothership. Time will tell whether that ever translates to improved performance for all of us consumers.
I get black-screen videos on YouTube.com videos, but no problem when the video is embedded onto another site. I only noticed it today, so maybe it's related?
Silicon Valley prides itself on rewarding hard workers who limit their abilities to cope with their feelings... and on throwing them under the proverbial (or literal) bus.
The best part? Because they hire so many people who are dissociated from their feelings and emotions, the world around does not impact them as much as it impacts us, humans not isolated in the cocoon of Silicon Valley.
Truly a tragedy. Truly employer's partial blame. It was a match made in heaven -- or hell, depending if you drink their koolaid (heaven) or have a real heart (hell).
I predict this product will become *THE MOST* gifted present ever! Want to show how much you like them? Get them a cloud-connected seeing-eye camera so they can show you right back!
It will surpass gifted sales of all Fire and Kindle products combined.
It will be co-marketed with Pornhub and Fleshlight.
It will be bundled with an Amazon Prime subscription.
It will be co-branded by Anonymous, BrickBot, and/or Cyanogen (yeah I know, RIP).
Amazon, aren't selfie-sticks enough? Wouldn't the timer on a high-res camera smartphone be enough? Couldn't you simply come up with a smartphone case with a built-in kickstand?
Seriously. Where's the market research to support this idea? What dumb-ass product manager got their stock options vested so they don't give a damn if they get canned for this face-palm of a product? Amazon, you worry me sometimes...
As much as I would love to support your optimism, Uber has been facing so much backlash that every dollar from the VC pile is costing them 5-10 dollars of good fortune and karma points.
Uber is quickly becoming the Twitter and Jet.com of the industry. While Jet.com burnt through low-billions yet only sold out for $3B to Walmart last year; Twitter has been burning billions of real investor cash (beyond VC) and they could not even scrape together enough pennies to make a reasonable offer for NFL streaming.
The only real unknown is whether Uber will have 9 lives and never die (a-la AOL and Yahoo) or will they crash-and-burn in absolute glory (like Myspace).
The canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, packing for shipment or distribution of: (1) Agricultural produce; (2) Meat and fish products; and (3) Perishable foods.

Since the truck drivers DO NOT conduct those acts in their shipment/distribution activities, they ARE NOT exempt from overtime pay.
Slashdot Mirror
True.
They fuck up everything they touch: Foxbase, Skype, Wunderlist and now this. They are competing with Symantec for destruction of good things.
Honestly, both Google and IBM has MSFT beat in that department...
So many questions!!
1. UPS didn't notice that they weren't getting mail, including checks ... for months??
2. A bank cashed these checks for the guy? Why?
3. "Dushuan"?
1. It was seemingly a specific vendor payments postal address.
2. Some banks just don't have any security... or they used a middleman/cheque caching place.
3. Pronounced Duh-shh-awn. Not from Beverly Hills.
They shouldn't be sending such large checks through USPS, they should FedEx them.
Wouldn't they UPS them?

FWIW, Quad9 is a content-censorship service. There's privacy, but also at the cost of them deciding whether a host is serving "malicious" content.
You're forgetting 9.9.9.9 which is https://www.quad9.net/ and also a DNS server.
9.9.9.9 is/was owned/allocated by/to IBM. Their partnership is allowing Quad9 to utilize the IP for their marketing purposes.
