What is important is that historical event A caused historical event B, which lead to historical event C. Not whether event A happened in 1674, 1675 or 1676.
There's also the delivery company that could have switched them. I know for a fact not all delivery companies are to be trusted equally. Or, if either Kosatec or POV uses a company to handle their warehousing, a third company.
Again, I'm not defending this as a good design choice, just as one I can imagine a person making for valid reasons.
I'm assuming the iPod hardware has some sort of unique identification baked into the hardware. Recovery in case of loss is certainly possible; TFS states the arm can be reprogrammed for a new device. Recovery from inside the app would make hacking easier, even if (limited) physical interaction with the arm is needed.
It may be bad design in hindsight, but in the real world every design has concessions. Integrating the required hardware in the arm itself might have had downsides worse than relying on an external tried and tested commodity device. It might be as simple as optimizing space, shape and weight, preventing heating or cost savings.
Possibility 4) Hardlinking to a specific iPod makes it harder to hack the prosthetic arm from. It's not the perfect way to prevent hacking, but I can certainly see why this could be considered a security feature that benefits the owner of the arm. Would you rather have a prosthetic arm that does nothing or one that is controlled by some pubescent scriptkiddie?
IMHO, the problem with all those economical/political systems is that they rely on people playing according to the rules.
Any system based on moral values is destined to fail. No population shares singular moral values. Each individual will play according to their own moral values instead of the system's rules.
I know no systems which are not based on moral values, nor can I imagine one without adding my own moral values.
Marxists think net neutrality is good, therefore net neutrality is bad. You know what... Marxists think breathing is good, therefore breathing is bad also? Such arguments are never valid.
Either love programming for it's own sake or find a different job. Nobody sees a software engineer as a true engineer, so you'll spend a lot of time dealing with stupid people who insist they know how to do your job better than you. These include (but are not limited to); bosses, managers, HR people, sales & marketing people, customers, clients, business partners (atleast their non-IT staff). Unless you thoroughly enjoy programming, you'll quickly burn out.
Exactly. First learn assembly. Only then, when you understand what a computer actually does, move onto to gradually higher level languages. Until you finally end up with a popular language like Java or C# and can still understand what's going on instead of simply rote learning APIs.
Atleast speed cameras are regulated and operated by a government agency. This is just a corporation randomly pointing it's finger at somebody and saying "This week, YOU must give us $20. Why? Well, because you want your internet back, don't you?".
A hipster is somebody who would suddenly get a different taste if (and because) you'd like their taste. They are people who so desperately want to be seen as different that they end up all being the same.
It's like how children want to be adults, but adults don't care about being adult. Hipsters want to be interresting, but interresting people don't care about being interresting.
I don't mind "internet of things" so much; it's devices using the internet without human interaction. I think the hype maxed out on that back when we were all expecting internet-connected fridges. Nowadays we actually have a few of those and are a bit more sane about what they can and cannot do.
As for "cloud"; it's just an empty marketing phrase. It cannot have a regular hypecycle, because at the end of every hypecycle is a phase of normal, sane use of the technology. There simply isn't any technology to use (other than plain internet).
I'd combine them and call it the "cloud of things" for ultimate buzzwordiness; it can mean anything.
A startup is a hectic place to be and can be very demanding, but one of the things I enjoy most about startups is that you can get from idea to implementation to testing to production within an hour.
I've been using a call recorder app for about half a year now; great not only for rare cases like these, but also for replaying a conversation to get a name or phonenumber or some other detail you've forgotten.
No. How about the man who opened a strategically selected subset of Tesla's patents in order to improve the network of charging points Tesla's cars depend on?
His website proves itself false. He claims it was founded in 1988; however Whois records for the domain only go back to 2000, and the web address doesnt appear in the Wayback Machine until 2003.
Neither of these mean anything. You can buy a domain name years after founding a business, you can even change names or get a different domain name at a later time. Wayback machine doesn't archive every single website, nor does it archive them from the very start. I remember back then Wayback machine didn't archive anything unless somebody explicitly searched for the domain in Wayback machine.

Him spending money on charity isn't evil.
The way he got all that money in the first place is evil.
This.

Except on Reddit, Digg or StumbleUpon, they'd piss off more than just one person.
Linux is for loser hippie neckbeards, Linux is for greedy capitalist pigs, Linux is for average Janes and Joes; Linux is for everyone.
If a site post a story and there's nobody to read it, does it cover the news?
Why would that matter?
Does your opinion on the events change depending on his skin color?
It's not a "thought" crime if what you're watching (and thereby encouraging the production of) is illegal to view.
I guess pirating the video should be encouraged then.

Right... you're trying to be "hip" and "different" and absolutely don't care about being gip and different.
You got me good, you did!

CPU's with TSX were first releasing in June 2013. Not really "early adopter" terrain any more.

You prefer the media continue to bastardize the word "hacker" into some sort of evil-doer?
