I'd say not nice, but consistent. I personally found Windows 8 design guidelines really ugly (all those squares). Material design is actually nice, but then again, nice is an opinion, consistent is a fact. Today we have 90% of the apps behaving in the same way, which is awful if you don't like that interface, but it's easy for both developers and users (nobody has to think).
I'm in Italy, and I pay 5â (way less than $10) for 10GB, data-only (but I can get some minutes or even unlimited calls for 10 to 15â depending on the carrier). Newer plans are better than that. My carrier is actually one of the cheapest, but is not MVNO (MVNOs do exist and may offer slightly better deals). That means your $35-45 plan is still 3 to 5 times higher than we are used to! About that $710 plan...wow. I mean...wow. Just to note, here carriers are *required* to allow mobile hotspot in any plan they offer, without a price increase!
Nowadays Bitcoin is only useful for speculation. It cannot be used for small payments because of the high transaction fees, and its value is too volatile...not to mention the energy cost associated with it.
More like big vs small. Excel 2016 is still unable to open 2 files with the same name...the difference between major version of big desktop software is usually very small, they just add a version number (and possibly some L&F changes) to look new and convince people to upgrade. Also, new releases split by months/years. Small/New software and websites add features way more often. Telegram was a bad example of a website in TFS, since it adds new features very often hence invalidating the point.
Well of course websites have to be a bit more cautious since updates will affect your entire user base immediately, limiting features to a group of people is more difficult (e.g. beta software) and I guess not always doable.
I use radicale (http://radicale.org/) as a calendar/todo list server. It even supports committing all modifications to a git repository if you want to keep history.
It supports caldav, so I then access it from thunderbird on the desktop; on android a combo of Davdroid(https://www.davdroid.com/), to add the caldav account, and OpenTasks (https://github.com/dmfs/opentasks/blob/HEAD/README.md), to actually view tasks.
TFA contradicts itself on that point: it starts saying that it is not true that biodiesel lowers emissions because of the trees cut in Argentina, only to then admit that America does not buy biodiesel from Argentina anymore, and that the trees were cut to satisfy China demands for meat and not biodiesel. Thus, the point that biodiesel cuts emissions stands (given the information present in TFA, which is intentionally misleading, so we can actually conclude nothing out of it, possibly not even on the economics side).
As your parent said, the fact that nobody got something right does not make it not a bug. It just means everybody has a bug. The system was designed to use many db servers but could not guarantee transactional ACID properties when used in that configuration. The requirement was that ACID properties were respected(as part of the more general requirement that players should not be able to break the gold pile creation rules of the game). The system did not meet the requirements, hence it was buggy. Wasn't the bug in the db software but in a higher level that took care of coordinating the different db servers? It is still a bug.
No it's not, an attacker is usually not interested in dropping your tables, but in reading them or modifying them to gain access to a system. The drop table example is just an EXAMPLE of something obviously harmful, not what is actually going to happen. Without considering the fact that a delete from x DML statement is just as dangerous as a drop table x DDL statement, so separating DML from DDL is not going to mitigate the issue.
So you are telling us that we can obtain the same things that used to be done with an extension with dozens of options by modifying an obscure file, possibly having to restart the browser every time to check if our edit is good or orribly breaks the UI? Oh that's nice./sarcasm
Easy, it's muscle memory...using something every day makes you able to move on it without thinking, and that kind of training makes you faster. Also, your test with the previous keyboard does not mean the newer is better, just that you learned the new one (forgetting the old). For a good comparison you'd need to take back data of an old typing speed test taken on your last day with your old keyboard and match it against the one you just did.
On his website, the researcher wrote that sometimes AP can be configured to act as clients towards other APs (e.g. repeaters), in which case they are vulnerable.
There is a couple of wrong points you are making: many problems are known to be non-polynomial regardless of the P=NP debate (NP does not stand for Not Polynomial, but for Nondeterministic Polynomial). Also, I'm not aware of any cryptographic algorithm which bases its security on P!=NP, so this discovery (or the contrary) would have no effect on cryptography.
well, the same applies to linux, plus if you want you can view and modify linux code. With windows you can't even see it, and it would be illegal to distribute a modified version if you managed who knows how to get the source code.
Mining difficulty cannot run faster than miners capacity, because it adjusts to miners capacity, ensuring that on average it takes the same amount of time to validate a block. It just that more and more hardware is being thrown at it, but it can't collapse because it becomes unfeasible to mine a block. If the price were to drop, it might become financially unsustainable though.

Oh yes, you are using 2 and 3 to represent data instead of 0 and 1...that is costly but very rewarding!

Yes, because the DMCA was written in Europe....

That is not a point, since you'll need fuel and energy also to transport and refine petroleum.

Ruby code can be confused with python code, their sintax is basically the same...IDK how he got that without being influenced!
Apparently, at least the linux/android variant of the attack allows the attacker to forge traffic, not only decrypt it.

How about telegram? it actually is cross platform and it works quite well! (even pidgin has a plugin for it)

Sftp is not ftp, is file transfer over ssh. So, security stands as a reason why users should care and stop using ftp.

what about gitk?
