clearly not because you went and made a patently false statement about the study.

That's fair, the second quote is pretty stupid and does not convey what I intended.
Anyway, enjoy your bias.

Hah! Much more eloquent than my reply. I knew I should have scrolled to the next page in the posts before replying.

Because it can be used by the media to beat men in the workplace.. again.
See so many of these things these days they just go unnoticed now. Latest fad - I'm either too male, too white, too heterosexual, too British, too tall/short/slim/fat..
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

The latest Stack Overflow survey confirms what we already knew here at Mozilla: Rust is the most loved language for developers with 73% of users saying they want to keep working with it. Because the two people that use it *really* like it

MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab has figured out a way of measuring walking speed to within 95 and 99 percent accuracy – all without requiring a wearable or other on-body measurement device. Yes, having WiFi everywhere is much more convenient than wearing a Fitbit

The system - called FlowLight - sends corresponding color signals to let others know they should stay away from your office or workspace or feel free to stop in. Can I get one just in red?

Just a lump of wood is fine..
If it's in the drawer, I'm approachable. If it's on the desk.. well!

The colors actually indicate four states: Available as green, Busy as red, Do Not Disturb as pulsating red,and Away as yellow.
And the manager's is always off.
Speaking of managers, I can just imagine this being used as an aggressive tactic with immediate visual feedback of what management will call "productivity indicators."
An a new breed of managers, the "floor productivity manager", will be hired to roam the labyrinthine isles of cubicles and pounce on the poor Sisyphusian worker bees whose light flickers green.

Users will finally be able to get updates to the Edge browser via the Windows Store, which will allow Microsoft to add new features more frequently. So there will be more updates you won't use on the browser you don't use?
Yes, I know *you're* perfectly happy using Edge. Good for you, sport!

It was supposed to have died a long time ago, but, for a near-cadaver, the password has managed to hold onto its last breath for over two decades. A promise that you are who you say you are?

..unless you can come up with something that is better in any way I'll stick to my old habits.

For the moment, I'm going to ignore the NIST and the "password is dead" hype.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
