It's safe to assume that Windows falls under the 'Microsoft' category.

I'm pretty sure Windows falls under the 'Microsoft' category.
Just today I got a messenger request from someone in Nigeria. I looked at their profile, and they had all sorts of checkins at glorious sounding hotels and places with the word 'palace' in them. I just marked them as spam, but I'm sure if I let them talk to me, the scam would have started immediately.
He wasn't saying the carpenter was useless. He's saying that there was a guy who's primary job seemed to be apologizing for why the carpenter couldn't come and help them just yet. That was the useless job.
There is plenty of standards that go beyond habitability - there are rules about power, water, heating, even storage space.
Heck, in my neighborhood there are rules about requiring fencing, a minimum number and maximum height of screening plans, the paint color, the current state of your shingles, there are rules about car washing, parking large vehicles and so on and so forth.
If there was a rule about solar power it would be just an additional item on the list of things one has to do to build and own a property.
The difference is, if you don't like the rules of an HOA, you can go find a different neighborhood. If your job is in California, you can't just go find a different state.
Does your life improve the more people around you suffer? Your life isn't better than it was the more people around you suffer, and indeed, it puts you at higher risk of crime. Granted, you could be a sadistic person who enjoys watching other people suffer, in which case carry on and enjoy the show.
If you ask 1,000 people to name any famous male tech leaders, I'd bet of those that can name any, only 95% of the people could only name Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
I don't think it means what you think it means. If working around the bug means selecting a different item from the menu to boot, it's not really bricked.
If you want to break into a million houses all over the world, that's some major deal killing resources. If you want to break into one person's house that lives within an hour of you, that's not too big of a deal. Because of that, the odds of someone picking your house to break into are very slim, and not much to worry about. The odds of some script kiddie from Russia doing a scan and looking for vulnerabilities is quite high. If you're vulnerable to a remote attack, you will most assuredly get hit within a pretty short period of time. If you're not a high value target, basic security steps that block remote automated attacks and internet hygiene where you don't travel the seedier places on the internet and staying up to date on security patches will make it less likely that you'll be hit.
Yes, but it takes a lot of resources to bash in your door, and there's a lot of risk involved. You might be home at the time, you might have a gun. They either have to be near you or travel hours to get to your house to do it. On the internet, someone can write a script to bash in millions of "doors" in the space of a few hours with minimal resources and very little risk of getting shot and do it from the comfort of their home halfway around the world.
I have disabled the 'OK Google' functionality on my Pixel 2. I don't want my phone always listening to me. But it came with the little speaker pod that my kids loved playing with (although I make them turn it off when they're done). However, I quickly discovered that my phone kept responding to 'OK Google' being said by my kids nearby and prompting me to reenable the service so it could respond to my queries. So, even though I disabled the functionality, the mic is still always on and listening for me to say 'OK Google'. That gave me very warm fuzzy feelings knowing that my phone is still listening in even when I tell it not to.
I preordered a Pixel 2 XL today via googlefi. They're sending me a coupon for a free Mini when they become available, but I can't imagine what the heck I'd do with it. I'm not at all keen on having devices in my home that listen all the time, and even if I can turn that off I don't know what I'd do with the stupid thing. Maybe the kids can just ask it for the weather instead of bothering me all the time.
Except AMD Threadripper offers ECC support as well. In the olden days, Intel was chimping on the consumer and low server end, trying to keep the Xeons from beating the Itaniums, and that was what led AMD to jump in with native 64bit support and dual core chips and start eating Intel's lunch.
My dad did lobbying at the state level for the newspapers. As a lobbyist, his job was to inform lawmakers how certain laws would affect the press, either in a positive or negative way. Lawmakers don't always see the ramifications of their laws on each industry because they aren't experts in each area. In my dad's case, he was fighting to make sure laws were written such that the press had access to government records, things like the FOIA, or preventing the government from holding secret meetings, or changing locations at the last minute such that the press couldn't be present.
Not all lobbyists are evil, some are actually fighting for our rights. I suspect you'll find the EFF and the ACLU have lobbyists also working on our best interests.
Now, the Star-Belly Sneetches- Had bellies with stars. The Plain-Belly Sneetches-Had none upon thars.
Those stars weren’t so big. They were really so small. You might think such a thing wouldn’t matter at all.
But, because they had stars, all the Star-Belly Sneetches Would brag, “We’re the best kind of Sneetch on the beaches. With their snoots in the air, they would sniff and they’d snort “We’ll have nothing to do with the Plain-Belly sort!” And whenever they met some, when they were out walking, They’d hike right on past them without even talking.
It's theoretically meaningful, but only if it's a measurement others can replicate. In the olden days, I'd build my own kernel every time a new release came out. I had to go through and select all the drivers and features I wanted, but most of the kernel code in the tarball never got compiled. Assuming he's taking the default source config, and assuming that the configuration process doesn't go out and automatically detect a bunch of drivers and automatically select them (this would cause different platforms to be doing different things, and wouldn't allow for a direct comparison in speed), then it would be a good benchmark.
Compiling goes really fast with really good I/O (I'm guessing he used an NVMe SSD) and lots of cores, so this workload is an excellent way to push the entire system. With slower disks and fewer cores, this process will take considerably longer.
Wow, Node.js just scored. They got rid of all the whiny SJWs on their project in one fell swoop. Now they can get real work done. Enjoy your fork guys!
I'm sure they'll keep this information private and will in no way use this information to feed specific advertising your way or resell to third parties.
Of course, if this were the US, an entire SWAT team armed with machine guns and other military gear would've been used during the initial invasion. Then they'd claim terrorist jurisdiction to keep him from legal counsel and waterboard him if he didn't answer their questions.
The worst thing about using Chrome is the inability to disable HTML5 video autoplay. It's either ads that start running automatically, or videos that they stick to the top of every !@#$ news story on CNN. I've been using Chrome from its early days, but I'm honestly starting grow weary from videos that just play all the time. Yes, there are add-ons that supposedly block them. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. But if software won't let the user be in control of what's displayed on his computer, it's really time for that software to go.

Ah, that may be so. But did he exceed the authorization the government _intended_ to give? See, intent still plays a key role!

but when your toilet paper gets dirty, do you try to scrub out the shit-stains? No; you get a fresh roll.
Careful there's been a huge resurgence in reusable diapers as of late :)
Make sure you google "family cloth", you'll be glad you did :)

Ha, one of my favorite shows from the 80s! Those were good times. I have the collection, and I'll still break it out every so often.

Oooh! Thanks for the heads up! I just installed this and am testing it out on my home network. Already I love it!
