Moxie has written "people [...] expect contact discovery to be automatic in their social apps." The only way for it to be automatic is to access your contacts.

This app is designed for those people, not "cryptonerds" (his word), and this is one of the concessions made to provide that ease of use.

Ah, but now some people on the internet think they made a mistake. That's priceless.

Sorry, it's hyperbole.

That is how Allo works.

Wouldn't that still be a problem without a union?

You're describing a problem with the prosecutor's office, not the police union.

They're working on it- https://www.braininitiative.nih.gov/

Are there any platforms with a policy like what you're suggesting?

Just for context, Sebastian Anthony is the editor of Ars Technica UK.

Clearance is not a blanket authorization to access classified information- only information you require access to for your position.

Lapsed clearance is even less applicable, obviously.

Yup, the documentation sufficiently covered our case- we needed the front-end to be Apache httpd for our SSO, and there were steps (and example httpd configs) to substitute it in for the nginx in the omnibus package.

Your first point is unrelated to the topic.

Your second point is unrelated to the topic and runs counter to the opinion of the United Nations Security Council, the United Nations General Assembly, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the International Court of Justice.

"demonstrated by the fact fewer take a driving licence"

That's not actually demonstrated in the article, read again.

The article asserts this, but doesn't support it. It's got a statistic for the current rate, but for the past it basically says "back in MY day we were EXCITED to get our licenses."

Hope you don't plan on using the ones in the box with any non-apple product (or even any apple product without a lightning port)

Not all of them. For example, the reported risk to CIA agents in US embassies in China was that they would suspiciously not be in the leaked data like actual State dept staff would be.

Apparently the Defense investigators (DSS) merged into OPM in 2004- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defense_Security_Service

Even if it's executed in the brain of a human content screener, it's still an algorithm- if you want it to be consistent, it has to be documented and clearly communicated to the screeners.

I believe Defense had their own, parallel system, so it may not be a given that you're in the leak.

How many $9 adapters (that will never work with a non-Apple device) does it take to admit this is a downgrade from the user perspective?

So? Unless I can wear the case on my head to charge them while I use them it doesn't help.

It's ridiculous and patronizing to suggest anyone "loses the right to complain" because they've participated in the system in a way you don't personally approve of. I've always been irritated by this position as applied to people who don't vote, but it's even worse to suggest your choice of candidate can invoke it. What's next, you lose the right to complain if your candidate wins? If you vote Democrat? If you haven't consecutively voted in every election? If you didn't run yourself?

What makes you think it's headphones, much less the same set, being used in all of those locations?

Which last 5 hours, and also can't be charged while in use.

I guess you could buy two pairs and swap them out...?

The same way they use durable glass and don't cover broken glass under the warranty.

That's interesting, because I've spoken to two Google support reps on the phone in the last two years (related to chrome os and their music service.) They must be so bad at customer support they can't even employ zero people properly.

Can you summarize how he "[broke] desktops with PulseAudio"? From my perspective as an end user it didn't seem to go badly at all. Was I insulated by my distribution maintainers?

The answer to this depends on information not present in the article, and is probably not possible to answer without an actual lawsuit. Are the manufacturers taking reasonable steps to avoid the problem? If so they're probably not responsible.

If there are internal emails at the company saying "well our testing shows it might kill people but we'll save 2 cents per brush if we accept weaker wire attachments" then sure. I doubt it's that clear cut.

If it's a genuine endorsement then money wouldn't be changing hands.

Denver is especially high too.

That's not really what they're relying on. They're pointing out at the time of submission that race alone is not a useful description.
