Well most animals have evolved around the Daily Earth rotation so it is light for on average 12 hours a day and dark for 12 hours a day, fluctuation based on latitude are gradual, so most species can adapt to it. However Solar eclipses are rare occurrences and occur for such a short time, so animals who have a routine based on sunlight, will have their instincts confused. Because of its rarity and it in general harmlessness, there hasn't been much if any evolution in adapting to this, so there is a general caution instinct that just kicks in. Being that it effects all types of animals, predators and prey, means there isn't any evolutionary advantage needed for a species to adapt to it. It is too short and to rare for a predator to take advantage of it, to hunt down all those stunned animals. And being most predators are stunned, prey have no reason to find a way to defend against potential risks of their normal caution.
Oracle doesn't want to deal with the consumer market or the small business market. They want the big contracts. Java, helps them with that, because Java is still the "Enterprise" Programming language. So the big dev shops still use Java. OpenOffice though, those are just for people who are too cheap to use MS Office, besides LibreOffice took over so there is even less intensive. Solaris and the UltraSparc platform by the time Oracle bought them was already on it way out. It was a great architecture, however (Linux/Windows)+Intel PC Servers just offered more bang for the buck. And most UltraSparc users were just using them to run Oracle anyways.
Oracle probably prevented Solaris and Java from falling off the map, because Sun Micosystem probably wouldn't had survived for today.
We can eat meat, we just need to produce less of it. Or come up with methods to raise meat with less of an impact. Also in terms of environmental impact not all meat is equal. Meat from small animals that grow up rather quickly and don't need to eat so much have a better impact per pound of meat then a larger animal does. Also we as spoiled Americans only like to eat particular parts of the animal while we toss out other parts of if we lucky we try to ship it oversea.
Also we should consider vegetarian meals as a type of meal not a life style or political view. Where we can have a vegetarian lunch, but some meat for dinner.
Now with all that being said, Wheat and vegetable production isn't necessarily green food either.
It depends on if you want the phone or not, and the phone that you do want has or doesn't have such feature.
I personally like it. As the #1 reason why I need to get a new phone over the past 20 years is the charging port gets worn out. So I cannot charge the phone.
Well the "removed notch" just means the phone has a big top and bottom bevel. Now the Notch is a trade off and I really don't get all the fuss about it. If you want your phone with a bevelless display, where the screen goes from edge to edge. (It looks nice, and you can maximize your screen resolution for its size. If you want this as a phone, currently with consumer technology you will need a notch to hold some of the gear camera, speaker, flash... Now for the Razer phone, the design choice was to have big speakers this means you don't need a notch. but your camera will be embedded in the speaker. But these speakers give a top and bottom bevel. So your phone will not be edge to edge in display. Making the phone bigger for its screen size compared to the Notched equivalent.
AI systems are all about Biases, it finds a pattern and gives it a number. A we as humans have Biases because our brains find a pattern and qualify it. Patterns are not facts. On average Men are physically stronger then women this can be quantified and measured. However there are a LOT of women who are stronger then the average men, They are also a lot of Men who are weaker then then the Average Women.
So if a job requires physical strength, you may get on average more men who can do the work. But this shouldn't exclude women who can do the work as well if not better. Just because someone is Above Average it doesn't make them exceptional, and about 50% of the population is Above average.
No that is an incorrect statement. The Algorithm finding that more men then women are being hired. Decides that gender is a factor to be considered. It is weighing factors that really do not matter.
The problem it isn't Empirical data, It is incomplete data.
Right now If I were to look at my desk, and feed it to an AI. All Electronic Devices are Made with Black Plastic, and Coffee vessels are Navy Blue. If I expose it to an beige keyboard that is in the storeroom. It would say that it isn't an Electronic Device. If I Took out my White Mug, from the shelf, it wouldn't think I could use it for coffee.
Will there be a counter app to defend yourself from a Law Suit. A key part of the Justice System is the Idea of Justice, not just blindly following the laws, which I feel today has sadly been ignored. A law could say you could be fined so much for a violation of a law, however justice needs to take a look on why the law was violated and if it is just to be punished for the violation of the law or at the said amount.
However in today society too much of the revenue for the government is from fines, and they are factored in the budget. Giving intensive to hurt people unjustly.
It is because it isn't what enough people really want. The people who want a small screen normally will use it for much more limited set of functions. Because they are not going to use too many functions they are going to get the budget phone. Now these budget phones may be a bit easier to make being less thing and a bit bigger, as to keep the price down and focus on features such as battery life. Android phones had larger phones for a while it took the iPhone 6 to match their size. The old Premium Android phones sometimes tried to be small like Apple. But after Apple went big, there is little effort in making a small phone anymore.
So what grand new innovative technology had you came out with? It is easy to insult a new product. Then just get grumpy as all the new stuff coming out isn't meeting your idea of what new technology should be.
The Desktop PC in the 1980's and 1990's had killed the grand scheme of people seeing a Mainframe future. Now mobile is over taking out PC Future.
It seems we take a take a step back when a an emerging technology gets to a point of non-trivial useful ness.
While mainframes were getting more and more powerful. However when the 32bit PC the 386 onward. With Megs of Memory started to come out people found that the expensive mainframe (And Mini-computers) which costs hundreds of thousands of dollars or more can be replaced with PCs which only cost a couple thousand of dollars (Slightly more then the Dumb Terminals hooked up to them) and gave collectively more power then what the mainframe did for most type of jobs.
Mainframes are still around however they are more focused on more selective tasks, while server farms are running on PC hardware. And most home PC's are running with excess power to spare.
So now we have mobile technology. With specs that rival mid-range PC's and have enough power to handle most of of our actions. That and they are sized to fixed in our pockets loaded with sensors and devices. Where in many ways mobiles biggest draw backs are OS limitations (from Apple and Google) preventing us from ourselves by putting whatever software we feel fit (Because most of us (not necessarily me the writer and you the reader ) will find a way to install malware). However if we could install whatever software we wanted including coding compilers. Then combine it with a larger screen and a keyboard so we can perform prolonged work on such a device We really don't need a PC anymore for most of our work.
PC will not die though. As there are things that a Modern higher range PC can do that Mobile devices will not be able for a few years. Mostly due to not caring about battery life and power requirements.
I am not dissing jQuery, I tend to use it often. However the problem is, it is a Big library, with a lot of features, rarely having even most of them being utilized on a page. So you are downloading megs of data for only a few kilobytes of actual executed code.
Perhaps Major browsers should have a built in store of jQuery and AngluarJS vs having to download it every time. (Yes there is a way to link to it directly, without downloading the JS files, and it would be better cached in your browser) But still we are having an external library that is commonly being used managed outside the browser.
How is WebP going to fix misuse of an image format? What I would expect would be 3-5 MB 1100+x1100+ WebP files. To still mock the poor mobile-only plebs (who for some reason have that much slower of a network connection)
You mean downloading Megs of jQuery just so I can do a couple of $("#content").html("Text") is slowing things down? How could that be document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = "Text" is much longer to write.
You data is sold, to advertisers, it is just not given to them.
Coke wants to advertise to a particular group of people. They purchase a service from Google who uses your data to display the add Coke said show them this. It is akin to Money Laundering of User Data.
America has a two party system. Democrats who call themselves Progressive Republicans who call themselves Conservatives
Normally these values should help keep our country in check. We will move forward, but not at a rate where it is unsustainable.
However the political parties are now out to punish each other, and currently the Republican Party is all about regression and the democrat party is currently trying to make sure we don't go that far down.
I kinda hope it will be something more useful then Tesla. With Space X putting a Tesla in space, while a cool marketing was a complete waste of money. They could had at least worked with a university for some sort of scientific satellite (Or loaded the Tesla with sensors.).
The key difference between Google/Facebook business model vs Apple is how they make money. Apple you buy expensive hardware, for more money, but your data and privacy is managed much better. Vs. Google/Facebook where you may get the same hardware for cheaper, but your data is sold to compensate for it.
It is akin paying for a vacation, vs. getting a cheaper vacation but have to sit threw a time share presentation.
Is this a common problem in your community? Where I live, people usually fly drones on their property, or with permission above others. They normally don't want to pay hundreds-thousdands of dollars for a Drone, to have it just kinda fly all over the place just to create chaos.

The problem is that a 6" laptop is too small to do real work with, while to big and clumsy for a mobile device.

I personally like it. As the #1 reason why I need to get a new phone over the past 20 years is the charging port gets worn out. So I cannot charge the phone.
So by turning it off. You have pixels that you will not be able to display anything on in both sides of the notch.
Well the "removed notch" just means the phone has a big top and bottom bevel.
Now the Notch is a trade off and I really don't get all the fuss about it. If you want your phone with a bevelless display, where the screen goes from edge to edge.

It may not even know the Gender. It may be based on the persons Name, First Names Ending in a soft sound or a vowel. May be enough.

Normally this is true, However this administration seems to have lacked Adult complex thinking.
Not saying it was good or bad. Just inconsistent and unfocused in a particular direction.
