Security is always a moving target. While it's possible your leading edge phone is as secure as the leading iphone, what matters to security is how many people are running an older OS. Androids are always going to be running non-updatable OS just because of the bussiness model. So in terms of numbers of exploitable phones, swaths of the andorid ecosystem will be less secure than Apple ecosystem.
And so begins the pixel war of 2016. I'm just waiting for someone to invent non-pixelated screen which just uses continuous orthogonal functions to paint the screen. Ironically, Back in the electron gun days one could actually have done that. I suspect that it might be possible to do this with e-ink eventually.
And in the end the appearance will not be better. All that will happen is some fool will think that since every resolution enhancement should mean a thinner non-serif font, that in the limit of continuous resolution one should go to zero width fonts. Logical?
What should be happening is the resolution enhancement should strive for better legibility using serif fonts. These actually were a little tricky to use at 72 DPI. at 200DPI they make total sense and now were getting to Ludicrous-DPI
Wrong. Read the article. It was a binary classifier. It doesn't matter if you Crossvalidate (subsetting) if the baseline frequencies are 79% for one of the classifications.
You can't even tell if it's better than a coin toss. For this statistic to have any meaning at all you need to know the frequency the plaintiff wins. For example, let is suppose that the plaintiff wins in 79% of cases. Then an "AI" that merely always guess the plaintiff won would be correct in 79% of cases.
In fact given that it's unlikely the outcome is 50:50, then one would expect that such a dumb algorithm would be correct more often than not just by always guessing one side. It would therefore take very little extra "intelligence" so boost it over the top. In particular such intelligence could be simply an artifact of the data set. As an example suppost the data set contained 10% of plaintiffs whose names started with R. If this group of people won more often than the avergage, then simply learing to guess "win" anytime there was a plaintiff with an "R" name would improve the test. This is true even if you split the data up into cross validation sets, as the bias for "R" will persist on any randomly Chosen subset as well.
thus the results probably are meaningless. Certainly the article is.
Indeed why do people think they invented serif fonts in the first place? I can no longer read my iphone without reading glasses and all they did was change the damn font thickness not it's size. This isn't a new discovery.
What I don't understand is how this is affecting things. Most people and small bussinesses just use the DNS that their service provider offers. I.e. comcast. Another tranche of people change it to something like googles 8.8.8.8. Large bussinesses may implement their own DNS
It seems to me this battery is the one we've been waiting for. Yes a little less peak energy storage but it's thermal properties and lifetime mean that it can be recharged fast and will degrade less over the life of the phone. Effectively that means in practice the phone will perform better than Li ion. I don't think it's going to cost more either. Yes right now it is slightly pricier but it doesn't have the economy of scale working for it yet so the jury may be out on that.
Is it just thickness then? That's short sighted.
It does have one double edged sword. It's voltage is 3.2v so it's absolutely perfect for running 3.3v chips right off the battery without a regulator. 3.7v is slightly above many 3.3v chip max voltages so you end up with a regulator and that's a loss. You can run the 3.2v Lifepo4 all the way up to 3.6V at max charge but at anything less than 95% charge it's under 3.4v making it safe at all times for 3.3v electronics. The flip side of beinbg below 3.6v is if you really do need a regulator for some reason then your V_drop has to be very small and you don't have much headroom above the minimum regulator voltage, or you have to drop the operating voltage down lower than 3 volts. A lot of 3.3v chips tend to start sucking current hard when you drop them below 3v so that headrooom matters in a big way.
Logically if this is a simmulation then one would guess that the players controlled by external overlords would be the most powerful sims. that is to say movie stars or Tech billionaires or Trump like dictators.
Thus your highest calling if you and under-sim is to go be a groupy to one of the "real" players.
So it's a little strange to hear the Real players asking to be broken out of the Simulation. Something is fishy here.
This summer in Manhatten, between battery park and Grenich village, google maps told me to turn the wrong way on a one way street, a major road, that has always been one way. Apple maps on my wifes phone got it right. If google can mess up that spectacularly in the most well characterized city in the world this is not surprising.

Connecting an ios device to a mac is a front pull-up panel button. the big one marked "AIRDROP". the devices find each other.
There's a reason Serif fonts were invented. It wasn't style. it was readability of small type back when paper cost money.

I was sort of wondering why only Notes were catching fire. Evidently the S7 Edges are too.
Another Improbable program.

So how is it DYN matters? Who uses it?
I have two routers. Ones a Zytel provided by the phone company and then I also have one of the russian make one (TP / Archer).
How would I know if they are part of the botnet?
The amazon "fire" phone seems apropos.
Finding/making a 3.3v chip with a tolerance up to 3.8v shouldn't be that difficult.
try it.
No. 3.3v devices all work fine at 3.2v.

THe large mining trucks have payloads of 500 tonnes. 2 million phones at 165 pounds per phone is about 400 truck loads.
FOIA's purpose is served even with a lag. As long as records will reach the public then it serves as pressure on people. That's the intent.
I don't know why the Fox New talking potatoe is writing books all with then name "killing" in them.
A character error is easy to read past be a word error changes the meeting.
