Actually the sensitivity of the actual chip thingy is 88.8%, 95% was for the same test done in a lab if I understood it correctly. The specificity was 100%, which means it doesn't give any false positives. The number of controls in the study was pretty low though, so the real specificity might be lower.
If somebody uses the stick and gets the HIV+ reading, then hopefully he/she will go in for a more accurate test.
You probably have to take a more accurate test to get a prescription for antiretrovirals. Not sure if the voodoo doctor requires it though
'a baseball pitcher aiming for a strike zone the size of a quarter'
These comparison are really useful when have never seen a baseball field and only have an extremely vague idea of how far a pitcher is standing from the strike zone.
To be honest, I don't actually know how big an olympic-sized swimming pool is either

I'm being an idiot. Activating the GPS remotely would be pointless because you would still need to install some malware that sent the coordinates to the police.
In the original NYT article 'china' or 'chinese' is mentioned 29 times. For some reason it's impossible to complete a sentence without mentinoning China. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10...
"They said there was no problem with the phones in China. That's why I bought a Samsung," said Mr. Zhang, a 23-year-old former firefighter. "This is an issue of deception. They are cheating Chinese consumers."
Mr. Zhang, a salesman in the city of Fushun, in northeastern China, was a Samsung loyalist.
After he rejected the offer from Samsung, Mr. Zhang quit his job and hit the road.
Apparently there are two Mr. Zhangs. One 23 year old former firefighter (probably retired) who somehow is able to afford a Note 7, and a salesman who decided to quit his job and hit the road because his phone caught fire (who wouldn't?).
Because the are lazy and don't care. They just want to google something and get some kind of result (or an ad, I'm not sure if they can tell the difference).
First VHS was strangling them. Later everyone with an internet connection could "steal" all the movies they had worked so "hard" to produce. And now when this "theft" has finally started to decline, the movie theaters are wrapping their slimy hands around their necks.

Some of the major companies that provide the basic infrastructure that makes the internet work have seen an increase in DDoS attacks against them, says Bruce Schneier.
This all is consistent with what Verisign is reporting.
Is it? The way I understand it, verisign reports that their customers (verisign sells DDoS migitation services it turns out) have seen more and larger DDoS attacks in 2016, not attacks against verisign's infrastructure.
It's noteworthy (not astonishingly) because it has been linked to Alzheimer's and it's been found in quite high concentrations in the brain.
Actually, the fact that a chemical is found in your body doesn't necessarily mean it can be found in your brain, because the blood-brain barrier selectively allows some chemical groups into the brain and rejects others (I don't think magnetite nanoparticles would be accepted, but they might be actively transported across, or I might just be wrong).
I don't think it's fair to call magnetite particles toxic either, but what kind of journalist would waste a chance to use the t-word?
It's funny how they provide those number for failures without elaborating on what a "failure" acually is. As if 44% of android phones actually failed in Q1 of 2016.
Being a part of the EEA, Norway is practically a part of the EU. It still has to implement EU regulations (minus the ones regarding agriculture and fishing), but doesn't get to have representatives in the EU parliament.
The "Norway’s four main political parties" are actually two major political parties two minor ones. AND it turns out the two major ones are saying that they haven't actually agreed to the press. What we are left with is: "two minor political parties want to ban pertrol and diesel cars by 2025 and two major ones are at the very least discussing it"
I must have been about 12 when I first stubled upon child porn. It definitely felt wrong, but I don't think it was emotionally scarring. I still remember it though (down to the domain in the filename).

TCN confirmed the outage in a statement, describing the attack as "fairly sophisticated in nature."
This is exactly how I would describe a DDoS attack as well. As sophisticated as using a sledgehammer to disassemble a computer

Is this actually possible or did the journalist make this up because cell tower triangulation sounds too complicated for the average reader?

It seems inevitable because it has already happened.

It could have just been a throwaway joke he made, that the reporter decided to include in the article for whatever reason.
