In the age of the IME and the hundreds of billions of dollars the US spends on US covert operations. I'll let you guess what the path of least resistance is.
The iphone isn't as secure as Apple wants people to believe.
It won't be listening to you if they don't care to.
The idea of having a device that listens to everything around in your home is unnerving, for me atleast.
The problem with saying "they would never do something like this" or "I have nothing to hide so why do I care" is that your trusting people thousands of miles away from you who are heavily influenced by the government...
If your not comfortable having a policeman sit on your desk while you work on your computer then I might not be a good idea supporting products like these.
Personally, Siri can screw off. I am more than happy to check the weather myself. :)
It doesn't fragment the community as you can call kotlin code from java and vice versa. Seamlessly.
Kotlin is great in that it brings Java 8 features to Java 6(lambda expressions, functional programming, etc.) and more. It's a boon to productivity and makes programming in the Java ecosystem fun again.
There is a sometimes increase in compiling speed but it's very marginal and the method counts increase with the transpiling but it's not noticable until the app get's on the larger side.
There is a back door to every Iphone. Just ask around Boston.
Doesn't matter. They'll be a gov't backdoor in either the hardware or the software so you might as well get an android phone and load copperhead os on it as it will have the same result.
I've switched to duckduckgo for security reasons and noticed not much difference. Even when I switched back to google for something I couldn't find with duckduckgo the search results are very close.
No point 0Auth apps if google has access to it. Rather pay for my e-mail service than to use google, whose source of revenue is directly in conflict with my interest of privacy and security.
I highly recommend protonemail.com. Has all the bells and whistles and its major feature is user privacy and security.
I recently started using Tails so for security reasons coughbackdoorwindowsioscough,.. and found that it worked surprisely well. It has a disk utility, liber office, and the drivers even worked for my wireless dongle! Kudos to the Tails team!
https://pgexercises.com/I've found it one of the best tutorials of anything on the web. It's challenging and you learn through example.
I thought there was a story about nike interns(or some other big company) using interns to leave good reviews and comments on reddit.
Anyways this is nothing new and something that obviously goes on without saying.
I custom built my PC before knowing of what a hackintosh was so I didn't purchase my hardware specifically for it. According to the compatibility wiki my config was compatible.
I remember during college of wanting to do some Ios development but afford a MAC. I spent atleast 20 hours of tweaking kewts settings and trying different distros. I finally got it to boot but it crashed whenever I tried to run the emulator.
I haven't touched hackintosh stuff for several years but the grief and time wasted makes it not worth it. It's a shame apple is limiting their development tools to MacOS. They could learn a thing or two from Microsoft.
In war, there is a benefit to treating your enemy with dignity. Treatment of prisoners, morale("we are the good guys"), etc. In Wall Street there isn't with white collar crime only getting a slap on the risk when they put millions of people on the street.
The system is broken when corruption and misdirection is not punished with the weight of their crimes.
I have taken a 'certification' and a 'class' with Udacity and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The courses are shallow and do not challenge the student and the certifications hold no significance.
I prefer EduX courses as they are more like 'classes' and I feel are slightly more respectable to put on a resume.
Not if you game, develop, or anything else where single thread is more important. If core count is the most important thing about a CPU then everyone would be buying bulldozer with its "8" cores.
And the compile time is comparable to Java's. One of the most import thing imo.
Does apple make a profit from these adapters? I know they were a key developer of the usb 3.1 c spec and I imagine they probably have several patents on it.
If this leak is legit, it means zen will be competitive at the same clock rate as intel's current cpus.
Why is the EU going after Apple now? They knew of this tax haven for years. It's the EU's fault for letting one of its members do this. The fact that they are trying to change the tax code in Ireland AND retroactively apply those laws is bananas.
If I take advantage of a tax loophole and the government closes that loophole, can they throw me in jail? Obviously people aren't companies but it sets dangerous precedent.
Not to undermine their intentions but do these countries have oil and coal to begin with? Everyone is going to play their economic advantage and they will be the biggest losers in global warming.
I say this as someone who believes in renewable energy and should invest in it.
I am sure as hell trump would see it this way.
Kotlin is amazing. It takes the best parts of Scala while keeping the simplicity of Java.
It may not be supported by Google but it was created by Jetbrains, the developer of Ideaide which is what Android Studio is based on, so it's support is top notch.
The best part of Kotlin is there is near zero cost to using it. You can learn it in a day and is fully interoperable with Java. :)
