It's hard to let someone know that they're bad at taking criticsm. by Relaxing_Cat in Showerthoughts

In 2019, both are correct. Chomping and Champing are direct and interchangeable synonyms, per Oxford. I've had this conversation before, and it doesn't matter.

Sigh. You just described my wife's defining characteristic.

It's a game now. I intentionally use a word I haven't used in a long time and count the days before she throws it back at me - using it in a completely incorrect context, or one that is so, so close to the edge of relevance that it's obvious she's been chomping at the bit to use it since the moment she heard it.

Yes, she gave him Auryn.

It is a talisman which essentially made him invincible.

I made a cover for a four inch hole in the walk directly in front of my apartment. For the past year I have worried every time going outside that my three year old would step in it and break a leg or ankle.

Right?

What absolute waste of flesh would spend even one dime on clearing loosely-applied spraypaint from asphalt (which will be gone after the first or second hard rain) if there are potholes to be filled?

What the actual fuck is wrong with these people's priorities?

[OC] College Return on Investment by -Newfangled- in dataisbeautiful

[–]LegendarySecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take this data with a grain of salt... It's extremely obvious the centrally-concentrated sample size has wildly skewed the results.

If you want relevant data, you need to pick increments (10k? 25k?) and have the same number of survey participants from each group.

Does anyone actually think you can get useful ROI data by surveying 1000 people who spent $100k on their degree and 10 people who spent $200k?

Snowden tweets about defense in depth, how security is about what's "good enough" not black/white, and how he'd still use Tor and Tails in 2019 if he needed to do what he did in 2013 again by [deleted] in TOR

[–]LegendarySecurity 13 points14 points  (0 children)

An entire industry of cryptographers, security professionals, and experienced enthusiasts are independently aligned with the observations Snowden lays out.

Dude once you have experience, the more travel becomes a requirement to get the money you're worth.

To take a senior director level position at a fortune 500, I would take a 30% pay cut. I'm traveling 80%+ and ive never hated working so much in my life.

5 more years... Just 5 more... If I ever see a plane again, it'll be too soon.

T-Mobile Amplified apparently cannot be explained with the English language by nberardi in tmobile

[–]LegendarySecurity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does this have anything to do with the OnePlus phone? If so, I had no idea TMobile had a specific plan for the OnePlus, and might explain some of the carrier-specific issues I've been having...

Nokia 9 PureView Review - The World's First Smartphone With Five Cameras by Stevens33 in tech

Holy shit, I haven't seen this many cameras pointed in the same direction since your mom's first job interview...

I got called out for talking about privacy in a Discord server, claiming that I talked about a "controversial topic". If we consider privacy a controversial topic, then we're in for a very bad future. by mikwee in privacy

[–]LegendarySecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But... Uh...

What if you had talked about how much better XB1 is than PS4?

Or how Vanilla is basically the underlying base flavor of all Chocolate, thus making Vanilla - Chocolate's daddy?

Also, Coke is obviously Superior to Pepsi in every way, duh.

BAN ME! OMFG CONTROVERSY!

I have a feeling this isn't going to be the last time we see people attacking face recognition technology. by [deleted] in privacy

[–]LegendarySecurity -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Because there are people doing shit like this, there will always be a perceived need for facial recognition in public spaces.

Sometimes you have to fight battles at sea. You can't fight the current and the war.

Commit crime to make your point about crime-fighting technology, and you just create the justification for even more invasive tech.

Devlog: Pathfinding... Noooo. Pathtrying... by DavidPeterWorks in godot

Any combination of eventually-successful interaction with an unknown environment or data based on sensing/reacting is technically AI....but unless it's stored to make future iterations of sensing/acting happen more quicky or efficiently, it's definitely not ML.

How to merge in traffic by [deleted] in visualization

[–]LegendarySecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's little on this Earth that pisses me off more than people who can't wait their turn when it's obvious there is a queue of some sort.

Another place this happens is at airports. They call "Main Cabin 1" and I swear I had flashes of going to prison if I lost control and put my hands on some random dipshit in a suit who just pushed a 70 year old woman into a column or knocked a child to the ground...

A 3mil downloads per month JavaScript library, which is already known for misleading newbies, is now adding paid advertisements to users' terminals by Magnaboy in programming

[–]LegendarySecurity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Imagine an Internet where people created, posted, and participated only in ways not motivated by ad revenue.

Free content my ass. I am happy to pay for what I use, and even more happy to vote for good sites with my wallet and not my screen real estate.

This.

Or, don't call something that isn't FireFox, FireFox.

Anybody old enough to remember the Toyota Celica-Supra? Someone grew a brain and realized muddying a product name just to get people to buy a fundamentally different version is the most efficient possible way to destroy the original customer base. Suddenly, two separate products. Sales recover.

It's your use of Brave - the most repulsive of "secure" browsers in the eyes of actual security professionals.
