So we have published cases of the USA having back doors in some of their products....and apparently that's OK because it's the USA, yet we have no concrete evidence that Huawei have back doors in their products, only the USA's paranoid speculation - yet everyone who's considered an "ally" have to do as they're told and avoid Huawei too?
You either have a chemical imbalance or you don't - social media doesn't cause the imbalance. Social media will certainly make a huge contribution to what a person feels as a result of the imbalance.
Take away the social media, the "bad feels" will certainly diminish, but there will still be something there, it's just the way a lot of us are wired.
Think about it....those billions of dollars have to come from somewhere if the government has to pay up....and where does the government get their money from?
Punish the majority for the actions of the few. For someone who wants to stay in New Zealand, effectively suing the citizens of the country you want to stay in for billions of dollars seems a bit counterproductive.
Perhaps this will decentralise mining operations further around the world. Perhaps there will also be a flood of cheaper mining equipment too as a result of mining operations ending in China.
Could be a fantastic opportunity for more smaller players to get on board.
Very valid point. A few years back when I was made redundant, I was working as a repair tech in a major retailer....sales people are completely self serving.
I remember we had some year old stock that had gone end of life, massive markup (and therefore commission) on them....sales people pushed them super hard even if they weren't the right match for what the customer was wanting.
All about the commission, not the needs of the end user.
What better way to say "up yours!" than to inject $1 Billion into one of their main competitors? Also happens to be a wise move for advancing and marketing the tech.
I really wanted a Blackberry Playbook when the tablet business was booming.....The OS and interaction were really well thought out, way better than Android and iOS at the time. Just the integration with other services really let it down.
Too bad you couldn't afford to patent it....IF you were going to do something practical with it. That I have no problem with.
If not, I'm glad you didn't. That's the problem with patenting "ideas"....a lot fail to implement them, then stifle the progress of the industry because it's easier to litigate than innovate. There's a whole thriving industry around that, which contributes nothing to society.
I swear....if there was a short time limit on how long a patented "idea" had until implementation before being made invalid, we'd be so much further ahead than we are now.
I can back you up on that. Using Windows 10 at work and at home, and it's rock solid.
To be fair I run OS X El Capitan, and Debian Linux too and they're also rock solid.
In fact....if you're not using obscure hardware or loading your machine up with crap, chances are, you won't have problems. Load a Mac up with similar crap to what some Windows home users do, you'll have stability issues on your Mac too. These days, operating systems themselves are generally alright until you load crapware and dodgy drivers on top of them.

The heavy lifting is done by compiled code in the libraries / modules. Python's just the glue language that gives an easy entry point.
Amen in the case of a rewrite....it could be garbage Python code, but at least it tends to be readable garbage you have to convert.
Isn't that sort of what Google is doing with Fuchsia?
OS X / macOS seems to have gotten progressively more and more iOS like since about Yosemite (10.10).
how long until some questionable farmers add themselves to the potential matches?

If one of those tools is Windows and one of those tools is Linux, who cares? As long as it's the right tool.
Hence why this robot will take over as President
All hail President Libratus
Really? Microsoft disagrees....their platform, also named after a colour is thriving despite the name.
I would have thought the Windows 10 S to 10 Pro upgrade option would only be for x86, so I'm not sure why it's being mentioned in the summary.
This is likely original ARM surface all over again, just with an x86 shim for un-ported Store Apps at a guess.
When they get to R it'd better be Robo Cock
Makes it worse, yes.

You're seriously making that comparison? :\

Got rid of JavaScript and replaced it with a better language didn't we? Oh wait....
This is a possibility. Wish I had mod points.

Got to fit all them patches in somehow!

That little beast had 32GB flash storage AND a touch screen....you know, like a device that runs Android....ugh.
Hey, my 2008 octocore xeon Mac Pro with 32GB RAM & Samsung 850 Evo SSD's apparently isn't good enough to run new versions of macOS either, lol.
Runs Windows 10 great though. And OS X El Capitan when I need it.
