And a large collection of solid libraries. Language written to be easy to code and read. Low barrier to begin a program. Cross platform. Support is easy to get.
It is depending if the end users are willing to pay for it or not? While typically Supply vs Demand means low supply will raise the price. However the Demand of AMD Chips may not coincide the Demand for Intel Chips. Or people are willing to wait for the Intel Chips to come out. Then we need to factor the rest of the supply chain. Hobbyist who mash up parts to build their own PC, is a rather small market. Most of them are from the big Names, the Apple, Dell, HP, Lenovo... who have a big supply chain behind them. Having that XPS laptop switch from Intel to AMD, will need a different motherboard, which would have different shape heat considerations... So the case will need to be redesigned...
More likely other then switching to AMD, our PC's built for Intel would just be more expensive.
The problem with battery storage is efficiency, price and scale. I could get some solar panels, and a normal battery pack and power my home off grid however if I were to get central AC/switch from Oil heat to Electric. Then shortly my power consumption will exceed my ability to self generate. So I will need to get more expensive batteries, and more solar panel space. Which is expensive.
If a small town has an energy storage method that can deal with growth in demand by just adding a bigger tank, or filling an already big tank more then we are in a better place for deployment.
No, we traded our privacy for "Security" then traded "Security" for laziness.
The key phrase in our national anthem "Land of the free and the home of the brave" For freedom we need to be brave. We are scared, we became less brave, so we gave up our freedom.
Freedom isn't safe. People will die and be unjustly hurt in a free society. But if we value freedom we need to be brave enough to stand up and say. We know the risks, we choose to face them for our freedom.
This isn't a problem with any one side of the political system, The Safety argument is used all too often.
We can have the feature, but because it isn't approved, the Doctors will not be able to perform actions based on its data, or use the data as part of an official study. Much like sleep cycle alarm clock, or the pulse reader from combining the flash LED with the phones camera. Kinda fun toy which you may be able to get a ball park. But other then that you can't use it for any meaningful use.
Just like how a lot of things may take long for the FDA in America to approve things. To be classified as a medical device considered good enough to share the data with medical professionals, who will be making decisions that will effect your life from that data then it should be rigorously verified that it works accurately enough.
If you have this device and when measuring your vitals, it reporting an irregular heartbeat not because your body is off, but because the CPU is being over used, because of the animation on the weather app. The doctor may prescribe drugs (they probably should follow thru with additional tests), or more possibly change the dosage of a drug because of a reoccurring condition and the data fault, will make it seem there isn't the correct response to the drug.
We have been lacking in the space exploration for a while now. A lot of people think we can just go to Mars now, while in reality we are in a Space Age Dark Age so we are actually kinda stupid on Space Travel, and we are back to thinking of it in Science fiction terms vs practical.
It is kinda like saying, if we are trained to boat across the great lakes, we can take on crossing the Atlantic. However if no one crossed the Atlantic by boat before, I would much rather have someone who was able to cross large bodies of water before, with enough skills to deal with such an undertaking.
Normally while mowing, I am usually more focused on going in a straight line to keep my lawn neat, unfortunately any animals that are not moving and are in the range of the blades may get hit. I am not heartless If I see them, Ill avoid it, but animals seemed to evolve to be hard to see in nature, will unfortunately be hit by mowing. Snakes, Bugs, Toads, Moles, Mice... If they don't get out of the way, they can get hit.
Unfortunately we live in an era where we can say the Earth is Round, and Nazi's are bad and have it seem like a political statement.
But being cavil to each other shouldn't be considered politically correct. So in a development community: A political correct response to a bad idea: That is a good idea, we will prioritize it. (Then make it bottom priority) The person who made the bad idea didn't learn anything new, and thinks his idea is a good one. However the person who did the respond is not necessarily hated.
A politically incorrect and uncivil response: Calling the person an idiot questioning his parentage and life style. The person who made the bad idea still didn't learn anything, and he is just pissed off at the community.
A politically incorrect yet civil response: We don't agree or like your idea, we find such faults in the design that we find unacceptable. The person has learned the reason for the rejection, and while may be angry that his idea and work didn't get the praise he feels it may deserve. The civil and rational response gives them the opportunity to learn and try again, perhaps with the direction the community is trying to follow.
I myself rarely get motion sickness but the thought of having a VR unit while the plain is bumping, changing altitudes, speeding up or slowing down just makes me sick thinking of it.
Or is it that Women are less inclined to pursue studies in science, due to discrimination in the field. If you are going into a field where you are going to be discriminated against, you either must really love that field, or are strong willed enough to endure the problems.
Now I am going get a lot of comments, stating if they are not tough enough to be in the field then they shouldn't be so. Except for the fact for Math and Science studies, they are suppose to be areas of the smart and not big tough guys fighting each other.
Windows 10, Most Linux Distibutions, and now OS X all seem to like this Dark theme. It was cool for a while, but trying to install a Light Theme is nearly impossible now, and all new apps seems to want to use it as well.
Well how to define bloatware? Is it just a program that is installed that you never use, or not needed by an other application? If that is the case Bloat where was around back in the MSDos 3 days. If you weren't a programmer, why is you disk filled with GWBasic! MSDos 5 you got these silly games where you throw bananas at each other.
Perhaps, But I doubt you will see to many Open Source Development projects for "Rare use device, made by only a few vender's who will only offer support if you use their own software"
I like Linux, but Windows has some advantages, that is why My system is setup for duel boot. This is my experience, other peoples impressions may very (Due to differences in hardware) 1. UI seems to have better responses times. From watching a video, playing games, or just dealing with a Code Editor the UI seems to run a bit more quickly and more responsibly.
2. Better support for hardware and drivers. Heck on a System 76 Laptop supposedly built for Linux, the Fingerprint reader works in Windows but not in Linux. Also If I have some USB Device, there is a better chance of it working for Windows.
3. Software Availability. Unfortunately for some software there really isn't a good Linux version, or replacement. I have yet to find something really comparable to Photoshop. GIMP is usable but not really that good.
4. Works better with well work. If you work for a company that is a Microsoft Shop, then having windows to do you work with it makes things much easier. (and not getting blamed for using a silly hacked solution)
5. Libraries, There are a bunch of good libaries that are windows only, and most of the open source libraries for Linux have a windows port.
I think safety is a big concern. In the states (granted our train system is nearly a century out of date) however there have been some high profile accidents due to human error.
I get the feeling that you are not a Train Operator/Engineer, neither am I. However I expect a full scale version of such a job is much more complex, then your Hobby train set (where if the train derailed, you just pick it up and put it back on the track). Also many of these other sources are rather closed track systems, not dealing with multiple I/O, complex weather and track conditions.
How about a company that just makes replacement open standard computer modules. That way the farmers just remove the closed John Deer one and replace it with an other module?
Has everyone gotten afraid of the soldering iron?
Back in the 8 bit days people would just stack chips, cut connections and bypass circuits to get there computer to work the way they wanted.
“meaning your iPhone X case might not fit on your XS” Why any normal person. Upgrade from the X to the Xs. Not that the Xs is bad, but there isn’t anything that extra new that would be worth the expense of upgrading. If you are some sort of Apple collector then why would you use your old X case on the phone?
Douglas Adams (THGTTG): Space (It says) is big. I mean really big! You wont believe how mind boggling big it is. You might thing is is a long way to your chemist, but that is just peanuts compared to space. Listen!
Which would make is residents rather strong compared to us. (or more likely much smaller as a fall from a humanoid frame with 2x gravity has a higher chance of breaking bones)
Not Superior in its decisions, but powerful enough to enforce them. So people are playing the game with the same set of rules. Without Government rules and enforcement there is no recourse to bad actors and encourages additional bad actors, because then different forms of Power will take over and take control. A democratic-republic government at least gives the the common person a chance to to control such corruption and alternate temptation.
I think they mean "money laundering" as in receive money for selling stuff/services society doesn't approve of, then with that money buying something that people do approve of, then flipping that product again. So on paper it seems like that money in your hand was from a legit service.
It is called "money laundering" because they convert dirty money to clean money.
