The MacBook already has mediocre battery life, and its case is pretty much solid battery except for the tiny logic board.
So ASUS comes along, shrinks the case and puts in bigger and more power hungry CPU / RAM / SSD plus extra components like the mini CPU fan and Thunderbolt controller. Guess what's gonna give?
It sounds like the original MacBook Air; great on paper but in reality a bunch of overpowered components packed in too little space, leading to crappy battery life, overheating and throttling.
I realize everyone wants ultra-mobile devices these days, but if you're tethered to a charger it's not so mobile anymore, is it?
60,000 employees, a $7.5B budget, and all they have to show for it is $90K in graft?
If they privatized that train wreck of a federal agency into a train wreck of a corporation, their top brass would be getting millions in unearned bonuses, millions more in golden parachutes, and that's not even counting the embezzlement.
Family plans usually have a "one household" restriction in their terms and conditions, but here Spotify didn't put any requirements on where or who the...

The conspiracy theorist in me says it was intentional, since Spotify and Apple Music know they could make way more money if they cut their subscription rates—and have repeatedly tried to do so—but the labels are adamant about a $10/mo minimum. This could be a clever end-run around their contractual obligations.
The bug was fixed, this is just a practical way of exploiting devices running the affected versions.
Also, there have been no battery fires, but aluminum feels pretty hot when it gets to 50C and people assumed their phones must be OMG about to CATCH FIRE!!11!!eleven
If it wasn't clear, the bug was fixed in 9.3.1 - this only affects devices that haven't been updated.
Also, I think the highest temperature recorded was 54C... not something you'd want to touch, but not likely to catch fire either.
Finallly, if it's like the previous exploit, the device isn't completely bricked... when the battery goes dead or is disconnected the device can be reset.
Her company's interior designs are nice, but the exteriors are reminiscent of generic modern sculptures which scream "Look at me, I'm art!" but lack beauty or emotional power.
Also, I don't know what's going on in her drawings, but I'm pretty sure it's not architecture.

To be fair, the language just hit two years old today. Most languages were still in flux at that age.
No, function calls.

Yes, it'll make code shorter and simpler, but renaming most library methods is still a kick in the teeth to developers.

Uh, guys? Is this really how user testing works?

Government inefficiency at it's worst.

It's not a statement of intent but an observation.
What will they release next, a family computer?
No, I don't think I have a violin small enough for this.
Slow leaks day?
Or, you know, maybe clickbait naturally rises to the top because people click on it.
I call it "Physics".
No, at that point it's briquette.
No, fire the summary writer.

What sort of dangerous idiots fix a potential problem pre-emptively out of an abundance of caution?
Tesla must learn to do the right thing by its customers: cover up defects until the wrongful death lawsuits start rolling in.
The CIA isn't "law enforcement". Spy agencies are pretty much the opposite of that.
And they've been doing surreptitious DNA analysis for a while now.

I have officially lived too long.
Yes! You have complete power, and so does everyone else! It's all part of Quanta's new paradigm holding-hands sharing culture!
(Say... does anyone know how this /. shilling works? Do I just wait for my check now?)
This is why we can't have nice things.
Just wait for the apple car. It will blow you away.
Because it's so thin and light?

No, he's trying to get everyone who carries a mobile phone shot.
F.lux has a 'Darkroom' mode that does exactly that.
(Note: if you're using the Windows version, you'll have to enable 'Expand Color Range' first.)
If it works in KSP, does that count?
