In Mission: Impossible, Hunt had his back to the camera and was doing his sleight of hand trick with the disc*. In 4:3 his hands were not visible so you couldn't tell what he was doing. Not that it ruined the movie or anything but probably made the scene a little more confusing for someone who hadn't seen it before.
* he was in the safe house with Claire, Krieger and Luther after the heist
Can you join a hangouts meeting without signing in to a google account? It sounds like that will be possible with this new feature. Or if that is possible today then yeah I don't see what the new feature is besides dialing in.
Even if the cpu-hours would be cheap enough, it's usually cost-prohibitive to transfer a few tens of gigabytes of results out of the server and back home for each job.
Data Transfer OUT From Amazon EC2 To Internet First 1 GB / month $0.00 per GB Up to 10 TB / month $0.09 per GB Next 40 TB / month $0.085 per GB
And so on, getting cheaper per GB from there. So if you're talking 50 GB per day, that would be $135/month. Peanuts for anything bigger than a mom and pop shop.
(2) If the server or cloud service goes down even temporarily, you are stuck without your passwords.
I think LastPass will still work if the server goes down, you just can't sync your vault; perhaps others work that way too. At the least, a service could be designed that way even if LP isn't.
One drawback is if a website has its database compromised or for some other reason you need or want to change your password. Do you use a different base password for that one site, or different rules for altering it? How do you remember which sites are still using the old way and which ones are on the new way? What if you have to change password X a second time, and now you have sites using three different algorithms or base passwords. It could pretty easily become a mess.
You're putting way too much stock in IQ. For example: "A 2005 study stated that "differential validity in prediction suggests that the WAIS-R test may contain cultural influences that reduce the validity of the WAIS-R as a measure of cognitive ability for Mexican American students," indicating a weaker positive correlation relative to sampled white students. Other recent studies have questioned the culture-fairness of IQ tests when used in South Africa."
50% of them have IQs below 68, which is literal moron territory. That is, too stupid to understand the consequences of "if I rape that would be bad and I would go to jail."
Healthcare costs could be brought down by more than 50% by restoring freedom to the consumer, which means freedom to self diagnose and self treat. Obviously taking that away and granting a license to diagnose and treat will increase costs. It can increase quality too, but the freedom to pay extra for that quality would still exist without it.
I don't have a problem with that freedom, but nobody should be choosing to self diagnose and treat because they can't afford professional care.
There's very little in use that meets the colloquial usage of 'robot'. The shuttle ASRS systems mentioned are machines that technically fulfil the robot criteria, but you wouldn't look at one and call it a robot.
You mean android? Most robots don't look like people, if that's what you're getting at. I think people generally recognize Roombas as robots, and they're not anthropomorphic.
Unless you are messing around with the hardware in the device in ways the manufacturer didn't intend or trying to hack a service you carrier usually charges for what does an app need with root?
1. What's wrong with messing around in ways the manufacturer or carrier didn't intend (short of violating contracts)?
2. other reasons:
- disable or uninstall apps that came with the device - some ad blocking services require root - automation and system control (e.g. Tasker) - over or underclock CPU - better backups
If your user application simply MUST have root to run, you are either an idiot, a newbie or a hacker who doesn't care about security.
Well, I'm sure you know better than the developers of (paid) Android apps with millions of downloads.
Besides, this is roughly the same thing Windows used to do with that crazy popup warning about giving a program administrator privileges... How well did that work out?
Except that very, very few people root their devices, and the ones who do are almost exclusively tech savvy people who know what they're doing. The comparison to Windows works better when applied to normal non-root apps asking for permissions. The old system was pretty useless, but with the new permission system introduced with Marshmallow, I think it's great.
I'm thinking about getting SU to root. It is a common security practice to avoid having things running with root privileges when ever possible.
When you root your phone, it doesn't just run everything with root privileges. If an app needs elevated privileges it asks the user for approval and the user can approve or deny the request. The OS will not grant access to anything requiring root without going through the approval process.
I take issue with the suggestion that "jail breaking" (I don't know if you mean rooting or unlocking the boot loader) is inconsistent with good security practice. But perhaps that is not what you meant.
I'm sorry that you, like some of the other responders, are so humor impaired.
It's very difficult to tell the difference on the internet between a joke and something an idiot says. It's almost impossible if the joke isn't funny (which yours wasn't). When you write a joke, take another look at it and think "is there any possible way a human might say this to either be serious or troll other people?" If so, then it probably isn't going to land as a joke.

Average IQ in Somalia is 68 [iq-research.info].
That is not the claim I was asking about.
Now, where's your proof every ethnic subgroup of humans has the same intelligence distribution?
Go find where I said that and then I'll prove it. (spoiler alert: I never said that)
Pick your source.
Cute, make a claim and then ask others to support it.

According to what scale? Or did you make that up?
So many strawmen in just one comment... here are your "rebuttals" to things he didn't say:
"you think the government, any government, should be prohibited from using tools to monitor/spy/whatever on others"
"Do you think Russia isn't doing the same thing?" (technically this one is a question but it's totally irrelevant to his point)
" What excuse will you use to justify them doing this but not the U.S.?"
I'd lay good odds that has already happened.

Is that what you thought of Stranger Things?
It may come to the point where the supply of entertainment will exceed demand
Arguably we're already there. Pick any medium, and there is way, way too much of that content for anyone to consume even a significant fraction of it.
But do you think that's a good thing, or a bad thing?

No, didn't notice that part.
What do these shops repair, all kinds of electronics? Including game consoles?

Was somebody confusing hashing with encryption?
Mercurial seems so much nicer than what I read about git. I'm glad my company decided to go that way.
Wouldn't it be better to switch to SHA-512 or something?
