While this article focuses on Nouira’s rediscovery of this process, much research has been done on how to consistently create specific colors long before his quest began. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tekhelet

Does not take all manners of deduction into account.

For instance if there are a 10 unknown spots left on the board, and only two mines left with an unknown location, so there I can limit the the spots that potentially have a mine to the two sets of two spots adjacent to specific numbers, and thus deduce that the uncovered spot adjacent to only uncovered spots must not be a mine.

In such a scenario, the game penalized for me a deduction that it though was a guess. Causing the game to end, but it was impossible for that spot to be a mine!

"A month after resign­ing, she left her husband and two children in the US and took a job as dean of a school of public health in Shanghai."

Where does her family now live? This seems to say she got a divorce and moved to China?

"Wait, are you saying the headset can’t connect to a computer via native Bluetooth? And you knew it the whole time? While you asked me to try a different device, to update drivers, to install Jabra software, to meet with your technician… You were just trying to wear me down?!?"

This encapsulates what is most wrong and abhorrent about US customer service. This methodology is employed by thousands of companies, it is ingrained in the culture of their customer service reps. It is a "Never Back Down" attitude. They will consistently string a desperate customer along, through a maze of reps and procedures, knowing that the customer is more likely to burn out and give up before realizing that the road they are being led down does not result in resolution of the issue.

There are companies that do not engage in such behavior, yet they are primarily B2B rather than consumer facing, and usually in regard to items that are being purchased in the dollar range of tens and hundreds of thousands.

"Seriously advanced security features like two-factor authentication (which kind? Apple offers two) are exactly the sort of thing only experts who don’t need them will ever set up."

Hmm. This is a reflection of the author's bias towards not having the features he likes on the Iphone be more in your face, and the features he finds annoying are labelled as useless.

The two factor ID, is there as a CYA for Apple, so they won't have to deal with the fallout of their users' accounts being compromised. Those are the types of features prioritized and forced. The same goes for touch ID, in addition to it making new purchases a seamless and more effortless process, it also helps deal with chargebacks and the like. When I use touch ID to call a Lyft, I have esseentially 'signed' the CC receipt of that transaction.

The other features he finds annoying, may be annoying to many people, but those are key features that most people would otherwise not turn on, and as a result have a poor experience with wifi. the list goes on.

I wonder how long before he is in prison or killed.

It wouldn’t have gotten all this publicity if he hadnt exited in a taunting manner. How many other ICOs out there have done the same thing and not blown up?

I wonder how this will affect the cost and availability of the yellow fever vaccine in the us.

This did resurface recently. As of January, they are moving their warehouse to NJ.

It's interesting that there is close to none of any personal background or information available on the interwebs.

I find it interesting that the author completely looks over Cortana when listing the various voice assistants. Cortana is perhaps the most widespread voice assistant, it being on almost every windows pc.

I would like to see an option to type in languages other that read from right to left. My English typing is alright but when I have to deal with foreign characters, Arabic or Hebrew, it really slows me down.

Is that a possibility, or would the algorithms and systems in place not work with those languages?

I assume it is no coincidence that I read about this on the same day that Microsoft published that Microsoft Passport will be integrated in their new browser.

This app has been around on the WP platform for a while. It stores the images as pictures which are accessible from the app. I never really understood what ws so great about it.

Hopefully, with their putting it out on other OS's they will have cleaned it up.
