Journalists are trained to dig and find this information. Being that they have the First Amendment behind them, it gives them additional freedom to dig further then what Facebook may be able to legally do. Say you had a Facebook App that collected data on a user, lets say is was just an honest thing. Now Facebook demands that they audit your application and your business. You as the Small Business owner would be annoyed, and may hire a lawer(s) to push back.
The Journalist who may be hunting breadcrumbs would be able to do such work, because they havn't signed any contracts with either company and can dig in your trash, or back track from your other customers.
It is not a catch 22 but the problem is the populations severe lack of understanding of science and medicine.
We have some people who "Put their faith behind science" and others who distrust it as just silly guessing by people who think they are more important then you are.
The problem is the Body is complicated. There are things that will not kill us right away, but will kill us more slowly. The things that may kill us slowly, may stop the thing that is killing us right away. So this would get approved. While an other drug that may kill someone much more slowly however it doesn't cure a condition that isn't as bad, will not get approved.
Then you have news coverage with normally very poor science reporting, which is quick to proclaim breakthroughs (which is often very early in the process), and then commend how monstrous these people are to give people these things that haven't been completely considered safe. So the public is getting flooded with Hope and Disappointment. While what is mostly going on, are gradual trade-offs.
Many of the easy things that killed us, was an easy fix when we learned about Microorganisms, Viruses, and how our immune system worked. Which gave us a big increase, in quality of life from medical science. The stuff today we are still improving on, but is getting more and more complex to fix.
If you are streaming your video games on You Tube, I would say just downgrade the image quality. to 1080p. Mostly because such a resolution would be lost to most viewers (Cell phones, or laptops) very few people will be watching a youtube game in full screen on a system big enough to actually play the game themselves. Oddly enough when yo play the game it is using less bandwidth then the actual video recording does, because it is generating mostly Vector graphics, so the video card is doing most of the work showing the screen, while you computer is just saying draw polygon with x,y,z.... parameters
When you upload a video you are sending more information for every pixel there is a RGB color, then it is repeated a lot of times. Most compression algorithms, will prevent redrawing duplicate pixels, that its color differential isn't that much different then the previous frame. But in a fast moving game with a lot of screen changes, you may not get what you want to see. Lowering the resolution is probably the better approach.
The biggest problem I see is Ego. Most companies need a workforce of much lower skilled employees. For retail, clerks, stockers, etc... Even Hospitals, Doctors do not make the majority of the staff, but a large amounts of people just needing some trade schooling, and high school education to get in. Then they have the IT Staff. Most of the company leaders don't know what to do with a set of staff who is often highly educated, Has their own vision on how to do things, and doesn't take orders literally. Their job often needs to span the scope of the company, so they know what everyone else is doing at a particular level. The solutions they create become what is needed to follow. So as a boss these IT guys as a threat to their Ego, as the Boss they are suppose to be the Smart ones, the successful one, the guy who knows what is going on. The IT guys are smart, to be competitive the Boss needs to pay a decent salary, and they know what is going on too, and to make it worse, an IT Requirement could override a business decision. These guys know how to manage Underlings, but not Professionals. For most jobs if you do your job correctly every day is the same as the previous. For IT if every day is the same, then you are doing it wrong, because that same job should be automated batter. And every day is about finding new problems to fix or improve. That sounds good, but difficult to manage. Because the IT workers needs to less like machines then much of the other workforce.
Well count me in. My home laptop which I had Linux for years on it. Then I found I was spending most of my time trying to get Windows games to work on it. So I just switched to Windows and I use WSL for some some scripting or bulk data processing.
The WSL is more for people who want Windows as a primary OS but would like a few random Linux goodies and tools. Cigwin and the like work too. But they haven’t been kept up to date at the same level as a popular Linux distribution.
The key to success is the following. 1. A product or service good enough not to get legal action against you. 2. A sales and marketing team who can exaggerate how great this product is without crossing the line and making legal actions against you, and who knows the people who have the pockets to buy the product. If you are going to error, you should error on the side of getting legal action, because if you sell more then the cost of the legal you are still making out. 3. Don't barrow more money then you are able to bring in in the long term (Like Toys R' Us and iHeart Media).
Me, I have too much respect for my work to get past #1. And I suck at sales.
How is the Beta going to be Long Term Support? It is a contradiction in terms. I know 18.04 once released it will be flagged as a Long Term Support product. But being that it currently beta. This particular version isn't expected to be supported.
The Autopilot is different then a self driving car. It is too bad that this hasn't been properly explained to the public. Autopilot is in essence a step up from cruise control which is in general good at keeping you in your lane, at speed limit, and not ram into other cars. I would actually like this feature on my car, when I am taking a long trip, and my eyes are getting strained, and I am miles away from a place where I can safely pull over and rest. It can give me a few seconds to relax my body, refocus my eyes, drink some water. Not close my eyes and go to sleep. But if the attention to my driving was a 8 out of 10. I can safely lower it to a 5 out of 10, for a few seconds, so I can bring it up to a 9 out of 10.
Here is the thing. To make and sell such devices there is a lot of money needed upfront. If you are going to invest millions in such devices, we need more people then a few people to sell it too. Especially because after a few years the phone will be out of date and will need a reinvestment to build a new batch. However your example isn't as much about wanting a modular phone, but just a phone with a bigger battery and perhaps a projector. Which they are devices you can get that support many Android and iPhone models that just do that. it isn't modular per say, but they are cases that add extra batteries to your device, by plugging into the usb/lightning ports. You can also get portable projectors that plug into these ports as well.
They may not clip in as nice as the Motorola, but the point is most people don't want a modular phone, they want one phone to do what they want it to do. For the most part with the competition you can normally find a phone that meets your criteria as well as you can find.
I commend Motorola for not just making an other blatant iPhone ripoff and try to give us something new. However what they offered, wasn't what most people wanted.
In the debate very little people worry about the serious stuff that happens over the net that eding Net Neutrality could effect. Business to Business communications over Web Services. Business VPN's linking offices. VoiP phone services. Transferring Health Care information from your Primary care to the hospital securely.
There is a lot of stuff, from small organizations who will probably get throttled or cut, without the resources to get all the ISPs to allow then to get a pass.
The internet isn't just about your games and Netflix. But also a lot of communication with organizations of various sizes.
They teach kids the same stuff at the same time because it very difficult to have personalize learning on an institutional scale. While the idea of home schooling would probably be a better fix, it also amplifies the class structure you may be born into. Being born into a blue collar home where such parents didn't have high school degree level of education. Will not be able to teach a child who may be gifted in more complex areas. So they send them to a school where they can get more education then what the home school can offer. So while they may not be leader of a vast empire, they would have job that better utilizes their skill sets. However if the goal is to fight off boredom. The school teaches off the idea of the Average student, which nearly no student is actually average. They are either above or below that level. And this could be different for different topics.
Lets say I am going threw a Math class. When they cover the Discrete mathematics portion some students will fly by like they are not being taught anything (often because they are not, they may instinctively know such information) while other students are struggling on the concept. However when they switch to Statistics this could swap.
What I find more to the point, what is the long term support of this? Say I make an innovative piece of software, however it was outside Microsoft scope, 19 years later will they still help me protect my patent?
Or say I want to license it to an other company say Apple? In that mess of legalese will I have the right to do so? And what is to say the Current Nice Guy image of Microsoft regresses back to Bully Microsoft that we seen with Gates and Balmer.
Greatest Generation had Radio Baby boomers had TV to entertain themselves as teenagers. Gen X had Video Games. Millennials had the internet Gen Z has cell phones.
Entertainment of any type gets boring. Because we are craving stimulation often from actually working on something, that pushes us further and expands us more. But many institutions such as jobs and school, have rules and regulation that often don't put people on the pace that they need to be at. Either too slow and gets board, or too fast which they get frustrated.
I don't quite get your point? LG has had something similar for years now and it doesn't require any additional software support. They simply put a second tiny screen next to the big screen and use it for certain functions. Wouldn't the software need to be altered to use those additional screens? iOS for non-x software works fine, we just got black bars.
It works fairly well and I like having it, but not enough to buy any more LG phones after the numerous times I've had to have this handset replaced due to manufacturing problems.. So you liked the feature, but you didn't like the phone on the whole. So please elaborate on why apple messed up so much?
I would expect they would try to grow more calorie per kilogram vegetables then Salad Greens. Sure in industrialized areas, Salad Greens are nice for fillers, because we have no food shortages, so we like the crunch and the fact it will fill us up without extra caloric intake. But in Antarctica, I would put more effort into growing foods that will better sustain the people there, because getting food delivered is expensive and hazardous.
2 Wrongs don't make a right, neither does 2 1/2 fixes fix the problem.
Google/YouTube, are public targets. It does make sense for them to improve security. As nearly any crazy out there will blame the biggest name out there. Google/Facebook/US Government/Big (industry)... For all of life's woes no matter what they do.
That said, Google/YouTube seems to be rather blind on the problem with such algorithm and how it is affecting the lives of content creators. Being that a lot of the content creators see themselves as independent business folks, hits to their income from a computer glitch that isn't trying to be fixed, will make people angry. For some people this anger can turn into violence.
I wouldn't call the Notch popular. It was a design decision. There is a bunch of hardware Apple wanted to put on top of the screen. Dot Projector, Speaker, and Camera. That equipment didn't fill up the whole top of the display, So apple decided to extend the screen around the free spots. To put mostly the notification information, vs the normal title bar which normally has a lot of white/black space.
The iPhone X is my primary phone, but I have no real love for it. It is just there, If other makers do not need the notch because their hardware they want to cram up top, is thinner, then all the better. While I don't hate the notch either, some Applications it does get in the way, and Most programs are built around the idea of a rectangle screen.
Should Android phones put in the notch? It depends if they need it or not. The Galaxy S9 doesn't, and it is a nice looking phone, it doesn't look like a lot of screen space is wasted with bevels or chins. But it is a tall phone, compared to the iPhone. So if Samsung wanted most of the same screen space and a little shorter, then they may want to use a notch in its design.
The notches popularity is like hinges on Laptops. Some times they are out of the way and not visible, (usually limiting the screen rotation area) some time they are just sticking out there getting caught on strings in your bag. But you laptop screen and flip 180 degrees. They are not there because of a deep love in hinges, but the fact it is a practical aspect of the device.
Nah, I just download the DNS (Well I get a daily differential) data daily. Using sed and a bash script I update my/etc/host file So I don't need to use any of that silly DNS stuff.
I think a web server running on a low end system is powerful enough to prevent from being Slashdotted today. Slashdot hasn't grown at the same rate computing has grown. Slashdot has been late posting news articles, compared to other sites who have larger volume, so by the time it gets on slashot, the site has already adjusted for the volume. Often most site are on the cloud, so they just request extra bandwidth.
In college we had a lot of Music Majors who were more technically savvy then some of the Computer Science and Computer Engineering Majors. Their creative skills augmented their technical training, allowing for better understanding of the classed topic. While the STEM students just took what the class taught as wrote, and didn't bother expanding their minds beyond what was taught to why it is was taught.
Now for Equifax, there is little evidence that this guy had technical training to make him qualified to make such decisions. But I wouldn't fault the fact he was a Music Major as a reason to point out that he was an idiot.
Like much of R&D there is a lot of working on ideas, that rarely will come out to a real product, if it does is a significantly different then the early uses of the idea.
Multi-touch display Microsoft was showing its early R&D of the Surface early use of a multi-touch display, At the time of the early 2000's it wasn't planed to be a tablet, but an actual Surface of a table or desk. Figuring that people would use them to play games in a restaurant, order meals off the table. Then Apple got to the market first with the multi-touch iPhone, which moved multi-touch displays from big desks to small screens.
Curved Screens and Touchless controls where we are thinking of using them on a Cell phone or a tablet may actually be on the Next generation Mac, or used in some better VR/AR technology. Perhaps instead of glasses, we have Contact lenses. Perhaps not, perhaps nothing will come up from the technology, and R&D because via the R&D process they found, they couldn't come up with a useful solution for the technology that worked well enough to be a product.
For an other example there was talk about a USB (non-C) plug that can be plugged in in either direction, where the connector bent to fit the standard USB Plug. Which never came out, I think because USB-C can be plugged in in either directions, and the bending of a connector probably couldn't be made reliable and robust enough for a product.
However 2010 made 2001 make sense. I can appreciate 2001 after seeing 2010. 2010 filled the gaps that 2001 had, that made it difficult to understand and difficult to watch.
There were too many times where 2001 was directed for us to try to guess what the motive was, without any sort of direction on where to see it. After HAL malfunctioned, and it played the classified message, why would I think HAL was suffering from a paradox in commands?
2001 went a bit too much on the minimalist side in the story.
I am guessing by guitar solo, you are expecting a highly distorted electric guitar. Being that instrument wasn't available. the equivalent sound is actually made by the bowed strings sections playing playing together. Which the Fifth does have a lot of, so yes it did have that Guitar Solo in it. As there have been many Rock versions of it done on Electric Guitar where such piece sparks much the same feeling as the orchestral version.
