editorializing:

(of a newspaper, editor, or broadcasting organization) make comments or express opinions rather than just report the news

News isnt to tell us how to feel. That's a pretty serious rule to break.

What is it with people saying we need to sugar coat, bubble wrap, and insulate our tender egoes from the reality of the world? Psychologists have a term for that. It's called denial.

Yeah. So if you skipped 60 seconds on a 30 second commercial you'd cut into your program. Hence the identification requirement.

It creates a time series of frequencies then checks a db for that same series. A problem that is easily parallelizable. Probably does some filtering first. It's a very useful and clever application, but not that technically challenging. The most amazing feat is they got access to the catalogs of the record labels.

I wish someone would do the same thing for commercials on TV. Auto detect the commercial and advance the DVR by its exact duration

Just find someone else who has it and ask to add your radio to their "family plan", it's only a couple bucks

Just because it can doesn't mean it's tolerable to have one core of their CPU eaten up just working on AES all day. Plus if it wasn't task set to a CPU you'd see massive latency hits on disk access even the CPU could keep up. The kernel still has to schedule the task and load balance.

I'm not your enemy. I don't even know you. So please send me your passwords to your online accounts. And I'd like to take a look at your home computer. So please install VNC and open your ports on the router so we don't waste too much time setting it up.

sampling inspection. Not a hard software check: `assert ( numWelds == 30);`

Or a camera that takes a picture of each vehicles undercarriage. They probably thought that was unnecessary until now.

That's not awesome that you hacked the system to prescribe yourself anything you want. At best you're going to get the least efficient path to treatment. At worst you could miss a serious condition and kill yourself.

That's a feature, not a bug.

There's clearly not enough in deposit to sustain this model. In the US, a large majority of people don't have enough saved to last 3 months.

How much does the transaction cost eat into the coupon though?
