Conservatives are about denying services to the poor. Liberals are about making services for the poor but making them so complex that only the rich have resources to use them.
In general whatever party you follow if you are not rich you are in general screwed.
Every country is different. If India were to follow the US standards it would be too expensive for them to operate. If the US follows India's standards, we may be missing quality, or the consumer protections that we demand.
In Business it is more complex then that. To survive in the market you need to get your product out before the competition and/or you need more products. Failing to survive as a business is worse then the expense of a security glitch.
It is a chicken and the egg problem. We need a security commitment from the whole industry vs just one brave little company who would go out of business rather quickly. It isn’t an issue of bad programmers or management not wanting to give a quality product, but the restrictions on trying to make something good enough before someone else beats you to it.
It isn’t always with companies. Programmers working for costcenters in a different industry are pressured to get the advantage of the program out of development fast so the cost savings of the company can be realized. Or other cases esptwith not for profit is rapidly changing government rules (bipartisan) which are setup so you are always on the verge of being non compliance and not receiving the funding for the next quarter. So faced with being closed down or leaving a security flaw which you hope you can manage.
An outside group who can help maintain security may be able to help some issues. But unless customers are willing to wait for the product to be done right va fast. It isn’t going to happen.
I expect this was meant as sarcasm. However in 2017 a grandmother over the age of 60 could had been using such technology sense being a young adult and may be use to using such systems at a detail level. Being the computer programmer or was called the computer operator back in the 70’s and 80’s was a woman’s job. Grandma in 2017 could be expected to have such skills.
Despite the idea of corruption which Chicago is popular for. I expect Apples design was a bit too different for the engineers to really evaluate. The biggest thing I see is Apple Stores design, is a very California type of design. However up in the Great Lakes area, we need a different style of buildings.
Probably, But I think it is because we are in a 2 party system, with one election. During the last election there were very little people voting for a candidate, they were for the most part voting against an other.
We need a system where there are repercussions for our voice being heard or not. Not just vote for the other guy, making them think we like what he is saying.
Not even Apple fanboys will go that far. They will normally tout how a long time missing feature once implemented is so superior to the other implementations (The swipe features in iOS 11 is so much more innovative then WebOS a decade ago). If the feature isn't in the device, they will defend why they don't need such a feature. (We don't need a fast charger as part of our device, as most people will just charge it overnight)
Any fanboys for any technology seem to be equally as bad. But right now Apple is in the #1 spot so there is some added smugness.
I am not sure if you have worked in IT or not. But unfortunately my experience is if I share too much info, it creates a panic in the non-technical user who gets angry because they think they are so smart, but something goes on beyond their understanding.
The battery in your device gets worse every day, they are a lot of factors that can affect the rate of decay. Too much info to the user, especially ones who do not really understand what is going on, will see after a month of usage their battery isn't at 100% there can be a rush to get it fix, having staff trying to explain the numbers are not in the warranty range, thus opening to seem like they are performing bad customer service.
I would rate this on bad judgement in Apples part, not part of some evil plan. Just because there are areas where giving too much info causes in general more problems then less.
Being that an old phone, will have updated apps made for new phones it is kinda expected to run slower anyways, and the speed probably wasn't that notable to most people. Apple was probably trying to extend the usage life of the device vs actively trying to get people to upgrade.
Laws made to restrict people rights, will often come back to hurt others. A weapon in one persons hand is a tool in an others. When making laws and rules, that restrict using a tool and/or a weapon (being physical or abstract) it needs to be done carefully, with planning and research. Not a gut instinct and pushing a majority vote based on party lines.
We have been burned too much with IE. IE/Edge being integrated with the OS is a BAD IDEA. Because you are exposing your Operating System to the Internet, with a connection to a complex parsing engine and interpreted language. It wasn't about sites spying on you, but the fact using IE to browse the internet could lead to your computer being compromised.
Chrome has its sandbox. Sure it may be sending data to google for adds, but at least I can go to a site and not worry about backdoor apps installed on my computer.
Edge may have fixed this, but we have had such a bad experience with IE and IE 6 being around for much too long (Like Netscape 4) it has became a joke to use compared to Chrome which better supports HTML5 and has good security.
Because it is such a small user base (GNU/Linux) while Android Linux has made it on the list.
GUN/Linux distributions are still a Server OS. And most of its usage will not have people going to government sites.
What I actually far more interesting is Windows (all versions) is under 50%, Chrome Browser is nearly as high as Windows users. Apple iOS connections still exceed Android by a small margin.
Ok, I googled it. A home theater solution. I guess I need to add an other condition. It needs to be a technology that is popular within 5 years. Home Theater software has been old-news for a long time. And Kodi wouldn't be high in this class. We have Apple TV, XBox and Chrome cast (in no particular order) as the top 3 in this.
However for the most part Home Theater media software hadn't really gotten to much attention.
Because I am interested in Cross-compatibility programming designs. And compared to Sun Micosystems, Apple and most other vendors. Microsoft transition to 64bit is very rocky. I originally though the initial push to.NET other then competing with Java, however running slower then a normal compiled app + only running on windows (in short taking the worst parts of Java and C++ and putting them together) was the fact that the.NET run-time would be 64bit upwards compatible. Which is wasn't because you will need to compile your.NET Code again for 64bit.
We don't hate Russia or the Russian People. However Putin's Russian authoritarian government we have problems with. Being that he used his power to spam social media to Polarize Americans, by taking our political differences and putting a wedge between them. Creating protests and counter protests not to push an agenda of the protest, but to push Americans into instability.
If you find yourself hating Liberals, or Hating Conservatives much more today then you did last year, then chances are you were influenced by Putin's Media Blitz.
Well thank you comrade. For following the standard Russian Social Media response to try to push an agenda to keep Americans polarized politically, and bring up doubt on the morals of a competing country. Putin will be proud.
There is always the reject table (for 8th grade and under they were 2, one for the boys and one for the girls). Where there is often a set of regulars, and the occasional person who had fallen outside the clique where they at least sit down, eat their food, and usually semi-respectful communication.
I refuse to click read the article, or read any follow up comments to help gain context.
I think it is some sort of Imaging editing software from Kodak.
This is very common on Slashdot, unfortunately. Where some lesser known product gets some attention, and is posted about it like this product is known and used by everyone.
For the most part as a rule of thumb, in order to not give a summary on what the product does... 1. It will need to be 1st, 2nt, or 3rd most popular product in its class. (Windows, OS X, Linux) or (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime) or (Android, iOS, Windows (10 years ago we could had used WebOS or PalmOS)) 2. Explain what the product does if it belongs to a class that isn't available to consumers even if it the top used product. 3. If Slashdot had articles which had explained it within the last 3 days, it is fine to use the name without explanation, otherwise rehash it. 4. Assume a High School level of education and experience. Not to dumb it down, but after that point adults separate and specialize in things, so you can be talking about things that others have paid no attention too. 5. Explain the product if the Acronym is similar or the same as a different products Acronym or Name. Eg. If there is a story about the Dodge Ram truck line, While people in the industry may just call it a Ram, on Slashdot it would be confused about RAM (Random Access Memory). So if the article covers how the Ram has been increasing in prices, we are thinking back to the day where RAM was expensive due to illegal actions from Memory maker Samsung.
We had Multi-tasking consumer level OS for a while now. I am actually surprised to hear that this was an issue. Perhaps I should find the DesqView app for Chrome?
The United States tolerates other countries operated by dictators with ruthless policies as well.
Normally "good" countries tolerate "bad" countries when... 1. The "Bad" country has something the "Good" country wants or needs. 2. The "Bad" country isn't in direct competition, to the "Good" countries self interests. 3. The "Bad" country just isn't that important. 4. The "Bad" country is upholding a policy, borders, and or anything else that promotes the "Good" countries self interest. 5. The "Bad" country is a line of defense from a "Worse" country that the "Good" country is having problems with.
For the most part Countries respect the sovereignty that an other country has, and realizes its morals and polices will not match their own. Other countries looking at us, can probably find many things that we do, that are just as reprehensible as we accuse them for doing.
However I think the big issue, is that Google, especially recently, has lost the business compartmentalization that most big business have. Google as a search engine, should be the OTA best friend (also the Hotel Company) Googles own services which may be in competition should be treated as fairly on a Google search as the others.
While they may had gotten crowd funded, it doesn't guarantee success in the long term.
A lot of these designs seems to bring back a slightly updated version of an old design. Sometimes this works, but often it fails miserably. Because these nostalgic features that were removed, were often removed for a good reason. And the people who want this feature returned are such a small group that they cannot sell enough to keep the business going.
Yes sometimes a winner will come out. But often with the change of technology the way we use it has changed as well. So such a nostalgic feature isn't as needed as we really thought it was.
You only say that because you want to sell your games. However my Facebook messages are mostly around the following. a: What time are we around for a game of GURPS? b: Actually I am not ready for a GURPS session, how about if we play munchkin. a: That sounds good, I am free Saturday b: Saturday works how about you c c: Yea Saturday works
The real problem is that people seem to want to friend everyone, including toxic people for them. So other then friendly communication you are bombarded with political rambling, or baby pictures, or photos of all their travels.
Why not, for a heated garage. 50 degrees would be a good temperature. High enough to melt snow, but not wasting energy needlessly. Also if I am away from my home for a long period of time, I don't want the pipes to freeze, but I don't need the house comfortably warm.
If you are violating the ISP terms of services, then services may be termed. Is having your Thermostat blocked that big of a deal? So you get home and your home is 50 degrees and you have to turn it up. and be cold for about an hour? I mean what would happen if your ISP had an outage? Does your IoT fail when there is no connection?
