If your bread is boring you need better bread.

Good bread doesn't need anything else.

The default one.

I just started watching through 24 again and have been really tempted to figure out how to get the phones as my ring tone.

Only problem is I'll never hear it because my phone is on silent 100% of the time.

Because it doesn't protect your privacy (Google still tracks everything), but it gives Google an even stronger monopoly to make taking other actions to protect your privacy less viable.

The end game is still their web DRM pretending to be "security" to make it impossible for you to choose how a page is displayed to you.

The bar to be an improvement is so obscenely low that it's almost impossible for Microsoft not to be better.

He's talking about physical switches that cut power to the hardware.

I think what you're referring to with Apple is that the camera (on MacBooks) is wired in a way so that it's impossible for the camera to be on without the indicator light also being on. Software can't do anything because it's not controlled by software.

There are lots of things you can do with freely available tools if you have decent training data and the know-how to tailor the application to your use case.

I'd bet 95% are wildly overpromising to grab investment money because it's the hot thing right now though.

Those fuckers can move.

But you have to climb Kilimanjaro and send a fax from there to the unlisted head office with a 500 character key they can't tell you, then cure cancer to cancel your membership.

Yeah the matching donations was the obvious answer. It's honestly a decent way to do charity as a company (obviously bigger ticket contributions are good, too), because it rewards them for their choices by increasing their value, and your contributions are going places that have some support behind them from your employees. Finding worthwhile causes that don't get money has value, but it's really hard and expensive to do.

I think there are probably some that were loaned via audible plus or whatever, but audible says I have 440 audiobooks. Backing up the couple hundred I actually bought would be nice.

I'm saying it's sold in sticks. The recipe is always cups or tablespoons, but 2 sticks is a cup and tablespoons are marked on the wrapper to just cut off.

We do sticks so it's not that much of an issue.

But flour? The difference between sifted and packed is huge, it makes a huge structural difference, and people have genuinely written recipes measured pretty far across the range on density.
