This is ignorant bullshit. You can turn off Cortana during setup. Thereâ(TM)s a whole screen of privacy toggles during setup (and even more in the Settings app). Thereâ(TM)s a data viewer so you can see exactly whatâ(TM)s getting sent to MS, which is entirely boring things like hardware config and program crashes with no personal data unless you decide to send full telemetry instead of basic.
Problems with papers can be really hard to catch just from reading them, and the unfortunate reality is that there are few people interested in just reproducing results, and there is essentially zero funding to do so. This was an issue that came up in my graduate research, where existing work had come to incorrect conclusions based on flawed observations. But no one would have reasonably been expected to catch the flaws. The methods were commonplace and the results made sense, they just weren't complete, likely because it never occurred to the researchers that they should do some additional measurements.
Retractions should be welcomed. It doesn't mean someone was lying or trying to game the system, although that certainly happens. More often than not, someone just made an innocent mistake or oversight. That shouldn't be grounds for crucifixion.
2015 called. It wants its complaint about full screen start menus back.
If the stories are true, many were told this was a paid course, as in they'd get paid to do it.
Ideally there would be some separate secure enclave to hold this kind of information so ID, insurance info, etc could be shown without handing over everything on your phone.
Yes, one who wants to intentionally misrepresent what was said could argue something stupid and baseless like that.
I have a an alibi ready for just about every day.
Mass transit logs, yelp check ins, maps history, geotagged photos, Starbucks mobile orders, others being there and seeing me...
Am I also a nefarious criminal? Or just a person who takes the train, sometimes asks my phone for directions, and occasionally interacts with other humans while drinking coffee?
That doesn't seem like the "real issue." That seems like a solution to the actual real issue of dating apps and sites being flooded with fake profiles.
How is a better browser going to make a javascript-dependent site magically work when the necessary javascript is blocked?
Your "solution" is completely idiotic and does absolutely nothing to address the issue.
Apparently 46% of users do pay for Spotify.
The thing is that much of the appeal of working in government is the stability. People sacrifice a lot on income in exchange for having a stable job with nice hours.
Take away that stability and what motive do good workers have to stay in a position where they earn far less than they could make in the private sector?
And 60 days is not a lot of time. How much savings can you amass in two months? Probably not much if you're on a government salary.
With improved transit you don't need to commute three hours.
Or we could *gasp* build more housing...
All seems condemned in the long run to approximate a state akin to Gaussian noise. -- James Martin
