I'd have killed for this twenty years ago. Now days audio transmission seems almost incidental to what one wants out of a mobile device. On the other hand, this might make a great flip phone killer/safety device for the elderly. I've fallen and I can't load angry birds!
It should be implied that accreditation precedes being able to say you have expertise. So I'm not sure what you mean there. The difference being discussed is in how one gets the knowledge, in terms of ease, retention, cost, and time. Young doctors having a trend of outperforming old doctors, and one of the reasons suggested was they aren't holding on to antiquated diagnosis and treatment techniques. Perhaps a self-teaching platform would help doctors age better by encouraging a mentality that embraces new information. I guess we'll find out.
I remember reading some book which predicted that with the advent of the internet schools would become mainly about learning social etiquette and learning how to learn. Far too many people seem to think these are inborn talents. I guess since this is a med school they might have some justification in assuming their students have by now gleaned how to self teach, but I dunno. You can go a lifetime without anyone taking you aside and explaining this stuff.
Logically the extensions they're so coyly mentioning must either deliver telemetry or alter requests so distinctively that they become unprivate.
So the suspects should be:
1) Shopping add ons, especially cross site addons.
2) Clipper addons, such as Evernote's.
3) Good old fashioned spyware. What do you mean freecryptosearch is bad?
4) Discovery addons, like stumbleupon.
5) Antivirus addons.
What they're investing in quite heavily is fake reviews. Figuring out how to guarantee five star reviews on Amazon and others without alerting people is what's getting their former advertising money. So far they aren't doing so well. 3000 reviews for bounty paper towels, and about a quarter of them didn't get past fakespot.
Google is FAR worse when it comes to "My way or the highway" because the handset maker, carrier, and app developers ALL get to say that to the end user far more frequently. Apple has kept forced carrier bloatware off their phones and ensured reliable updates without having to be vetted by said carriers. They also have a better and earlier track record for users who want to use an app without forced permissions disclosing their exact location, social security number, and dental records.
Ah, ccleaner. Just what I need to clean my browser cache, registry, and temp files! I admit it's not perfect, which is why I have Best Buy run a pc tune up every six months. Best to get unwanted toolbars removed by the pros is what I always say. Don't forget to have them make sure your page file is a static size though, sometimes they forget!
I'm not saying if cryptocurruencies are viable long term, but the people who create them aren't without tools to fix problems, especially if there's wide consensus about the problem. They can and already have created forks to solve problems just like this.
I cannot fathom why any part of the Office suite is relevant in 2017. Not only that, but it's selling very well if I understand correctly. Is Excel's business logic STILL a must have? Is exchange impossible to replace? Are the document templates world class? Why is this software is still selling?
If you make money claiming to be a super cool person, but someone proves that you are in no way cool, you're not much of a victim for having your veneer taken away. You're not much of anything really. He wasn't somehow more vulnerable, he was never worthy in the first place. This was not a real estate agent having revenge porn posted against her.
That's cool, that's cool. I just worry about the influence of such things sometimes. I think there must have been cases of kids growing up with The Prime Directive and going on to make policy decisions that allowed entire peoples to be erased. Like maybe they took the very well meaning anti-colonial message and turned it into something that isolates indigenous peoples from potential help while doing nothing to protect them from those who are more rapacious. Or even worse if they accepted the later interpretations, which discard the fear of colonialism and literally argue it's better for a people to "die pure". As if a culture's 'purity' were somehow more precious than the combined lives of every single person within it. I dunno, maybe I overthink or underthink this stuff.
It's a fun quote delivered by a good actor, but I hope you don't take it as something intelligent. With the exception of some species of island birds (Watch "Parrots, The Universe, and Everything"), humans are actually one of the only species that avoids explosive population growth. Incidentally, that video is good viewing for anyone who thinks high mortality rates are the only way to control reproduction in safe environments. It's the nonhuman mammals that become invasive. Try googling "mouse plague" for starters. Now THAT'S a mammalian virus! You can argue that humans cause species invasions, but that's still just transportation; everything thereafter is natural behavior in a temporarily favorable environment.
Seriously, this is gesture interfaces all over again. Remember how your kinect was going to turn you into a martial artist? Yeah, no. Alexa doesn't even promise that much. Shut up and save your money.
Yes, I expect my customers care about the condition of the items I'm selling. Yes, the need for high resolution images is situational. The point was that Ebay's image compression sucks bowling balls through garden hoses. It's terrible across the board and I can see the need for third party image hosting. The point was NOT that my picture of a Norton Antivirus Basic box has to be 5MB.
I remember back when Aol bought Netscape they took my netscape.net email address and gave it to the aim user with the same name. I hope the office troll who came up with that plan died of scabies.
I can't speak for Amazon, but I sell a thing or two a month on Ebay, and their image hosting is terribad. I get that they do some image compression, but they're insanely aggressive. The standard compression they apply to pictures from my phone goes converts 5MB jpegs to about 170kb. We're talking pretty major loss of fine detail...on an auction website. Messaged images are even worse. I messaged someone a picture of a product keycard because they didn't want it as plaintext. 5MB image to ~20kb: Illegible. I'm not a large volume seller; perhaps I'm making some kind of mistake. But even if that were true, the Ebay UI certainly leads users by the nose toward that mistake.
This project will make many headlines, and some people will try to build a business around the api. Google will then close it in three years because only a few hundred thousand people use it regularly.
"Nullius in verba" is a similar and very beautiful motto, but it does NOT mean we can't believe people. It just means we need to have fact checking. I'm rather fond of a video where Neil Degrasse Tyson says something like "Don't take my word for it. Get some astronomy software. You'll see this 'devastating event' happens EVERY YEAR."
I've always been in favor of ratio based minimums. E.g. The CEO can't earn more than 10x the lowest paid employee or contractor. That's an illustration, yes it has to be a bit more complex. I feel like no one ever talks about it though. It's just minimum wage this and that, and even then not discussed in the context of being pegged to inflation. Wouldn't it be nice for the boss's success to be everyone's success, just as the myth of the job creator dictates? "The boss doubled his paycheck! We all get a raise! Woohoo!"

It would seem "Off to be the Wizard" is based on a true story!
What's a sanity check? Must be part of some Lovecraft Mmo, no need for such things in my game.
I might be misremembering, but I recall some older graphics cards were designed to be plugged straight into a wall outlet.

Clearly a repeat from 1941.

It's also using silicon fabricated in China and hiring Millenials.

That's not how silencers work. Also unless they're pointing laser microphones at your window, they aren't invading privacy.
