Red for stupidity.

thank you for capturing my thoughts on this so succinctly...

it's an **awful idea**

imho, it's not a bit half-baked, it's all the way...*this idea is awful*

my first thought was, in order to detect on females you have to have intercourse first, which kind of defeats the purpose...also, checking the color (i can just see the antics w/ attempting to use a cell phone light...) is also going to be more awkward than any of the alternatives

these ideas never leave the concept stage

if something like a condom can indicate this, just make a test swab or something...it's already awkward having to stop and turn on the light to check the color...

But Microsoft is the one who dictates what technology Samsung must play nice with...

The difficulty is first with Microsoft, and Samsung's 'fix' wouldn't be necessary without it.

Blame has to go to Microsoft *first*...it's illogical to blame the cart for something the horse chose to do.

Mr. Krebs, thank you for the time.

My question is about defining "computer security" in relation to public perceptions vs technical facts.

It was reported in 2006 that the NSA was keeping massive databases of American's phone calls and metadata: http://yahoo.usatoday.com/news...

Obviously, Snowden's revelations were much more heavily reported, and contained more info, but the public was shocked at information that was already public.

When it comes to cyber security customers, how do you explain and contextualize what service you are providing given the vast differences in perception of "security"?

Children who are behind need high-quality adult guidance more than anything else.

Yes.

The solution is well paid, professionally trained teachers in well-funded classrooms.

We know this. Now we have another study telling us so in quantifiable terms.

It would help to know who was the previous Chief Design Officer.

It's possible they created a new 'C' position specifically to suit the role Ive plays and part of that includes a more flexible schedule.

It's equally as possible Ive didn't want a C-level position because internal red tape would keep him from being with the engineers and designers.

Really all kinds of explanations, but I want to know. It's really interesting to observe how large companies like Apple make personnel decisions.

i said *near* the south pole

again, a linguistic semantic distinction only

many people answered "north or south pole" and meant "near the north or south pole"

this my whole point, so much of this arguing is over semantics instead of the actual solution...which is a very revealing question, IMHO

in a competition of high-skilled almost-equals, the ability to think past semantic differences and communicate the one best answer clearly is a great way to set apart otherwise good candidates

exactly...

it's only a *semantic* difference...b/c of how lattitude is measured...

the *most logical* answer is near *both north or south pole* at w/e point the math says to be

it's not asking "north latitude" it just says "north"

it is an assumption based on semantics only and it is very revealing about someone's thought process

it's over-literal analysis of the question...it's a thinking error to say "only North Pole"...**however** let's note that most of the best descriptions of the why the answer works are from the over-literal "north pole only" types...

that's been my exact suspicion as well

also, i think someone is testing an auto-commenting algorythm on here sometimes...like APK

In 2015, we're on the cusp of a similar change: the computerized car.

no, we're not

i know alot of very wealthy people have invested alot of money and research into the idea that it is, but it's always been an over-reach to think they would be in general daily use...especially the google car with no steering wheel

self-driving vehicles are more advanced than ever, because *all automation is getting better*

i can definitely envision self-driving semi-trucks in dedicated lanes, or google car-type things at amusement parks and even in a central downtown area like Manhattan

i know it's hard to hear this but a truly autonomous car that interacts with daily traffic with no restrictions is much, much more complex than anyone other than the actual people who do the coding work will admit

talk to someone who actually codes the AI for this stuff...there's a bright future ahead, but the hype machine is in full effect

yeah, that's what caused the "flash crash"...to many people doing exactly what you suggest

it became a tech war...who can have the fastest shortcut?

on other /. threads some commenters examined the code that Goldman-Sachs used as reported in the lawsuit and it was deemed "spaghetti"

it was all a hacked together mess...**at one of the top places**

that is the issue, i'm glad at least a few people are talking about it

it's not as simple as you make it out to be at all, however

if i have a modified version of a standard codebase that i use as a template on many jobs, if someone used then modified that template for a client, by your logic that template itself would be the company's copyright, because it was used

it's the "modified" part that is causing the problem...it's virtually impossible to do not modify code when...um...coding...

there has to be a rational limit...i don't know the specifics of the case, maybe you do...i'm interested to hear what you think the limit of the application of your principle would be in daily work

i see what you're saying, but i have a different perspective

compare to music

if i listen to an album alot, eventually my friends/family will hear it...if they like it, that's one more listener/customer/concergoer for the band

same with FOSS, imho

if i use GIMP and Audacity to make pixel/art for an Instagram to promote my graphic design side job, that's the same thing

"all images made by GIMP"

now, if you want to be over-litteral, i guess you could say that it's not *the act of using* but the "evangelism" that happens *when it is used*

so in that sense i guess we could agree

care to elaborate?
