But by this point what chip designs that were in the pipeline when Apple bought them have long since been completed.
At what point do you accept that Apple is designing the CPU in their phone?
At what point can you say you made an apple pie from scratch?
There's no objective marker, but there's still a massively discernible difference between the design work AMD/Intel/etc. do and the design work Apple does.
I make this distinction not because I think Apple's chips are bad (they're not - only Nvidia really competes with them on performance and efficiency with their Tegra shit), but because companies like to claim they made shit when they didn't. Apple is notorious for taking features that are years old and acting like their magic touch finally made them usable or relevant. Google loves doing this too. They ran an obnoxious "#madebygoogle" ad campaign for the original Pixel. And the Pixel 2 is no different. Sorry, but HTC made the Pixel, and it fucking shows.
The fact that the PS4 doesn't play UHD BluRays is why I don't own a PS4 (in any form) yet. It was a mind boggling mistake, in my opinion.
I'm hoping BR players with dual outputs come down in price soon. I don't want another box to hook up, but I want that 4K BluRay goodness. (No, Netflix and other streaming services don't come close to it in quality.) The dual outputs are necessary because I want lossless 7.1 and my receiver is too old to pass through 4K. (I won't be upgrading the receiver until things settle down a bit more.)
Haven't people said that for years? Like 20+ years?
They said it for ages and were correct for ages. Then the iPod happened. It's been stupid growth for far too long, but it's slowing.
Their market share continues to decline and they can only grow profits by increasing prices (the whole reason the iPhone X exists). At some point the userbase will shrink to the point of margins and increased app-spend not making up the gap vs. Android OEMs. The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus didn't exactly set the world on fire. Is it because people are waiting for the iPhone X? We'll know when Q1 2018 market share data comes out.
Apple needs another "hook" to keep people in their ecosystem. Maybe they finally make a meaningful play with a TV box or magically offer some subscription service that doesn't involve a blood tribute to every cable network exec in the world? Maybe they make a meaningful update to their desktops and fully unify the OS across platforms? Maybe they outright buy a supplier or two so they're not paying their enemies for parts and increase margins without increasing price?
If the UI caused confusion about which station had what control then it's a situation known as "design induced human error." It means the UI design sucked rocks.
Not necessarily. I've seen plenty of people fail to understand simple and obvious UI. Without seeing the UI myself, I can't make a judgment either way. But nothing in TFS indicates the UI was inaccurate.
Further, even if the UI is esoteric, everyone certified to operate it should have been trained on it. Even if the UI isn't optimal, a person trained to use it should know that. They should know how to tell if the throttle control is ganged or not.
TFS is nothing more than Google saying the bug was a bug due to buggy code that buggily flagged things based on a buggy interpretation of another component's output.
How many files were affected? Why some and not others? Why is the antimalware component involved? What's there to misinterpret from its output?
Actually, this seems like the UI was fine. Nowhere in TFS does it say the UI didn't match reality. It just said people got confused and fucked up when the UX screwed them over. I fucking abhor the term "UX", but this is a rare case where it actually applies.
The helmsman sent all control (not just throttle) the the other station. It's not clear from TFS if this was due to a bad UI or not. The system did something unexpected when it reset the rudder position. This is bad. Control transfer shouldn't change the current state under normal circumstances. It should have the ability to reset the state, however, because the first console may be fucked up and yo may be switching because it's fucked up. The second helmsman throttled down only one engine. It's not clear from TFS is this was due to a bad UI or not.
But nowhere in TFS does it state that the UI at any time was inaccurate.
Many jellyfish will revert back to an earlier stage of development and regrow to adulthood, fresh and clean, and essentially don't die due to age. Other fish and many plants also beat out aging in similar ways. And many more organisms such as fungi blur the lines by being part of a large distributed colony that's a single thing. It's like rebuilding a car. If you gradually replace every part, at what point is it a different car? Why doesn't sexual reproduction fit the spare parts description? You've got critical parts you toss together in a factory to make a new unit. Yes, the unit is different, but that's a feature. What about asexual reproduction where offspring are clones? How many mutations have to build up, and how significant do they have to be, before it's a different organism? Is physical separation from the parent the marker? If so, why? (And again, refer to examples of colony-type organisms like corals and fungi.)
Maybe all we are is a bunch of spare parts for some single celled organism that lives in our shit?
Password managers have the problem that if you are compromised, every password is lost. So which is the more likely scenario?
Passwords are not good security, even with a password manager.
If your password manager is compromised, you have a neat and tidy list of every password you need to reset. Hopefully you do it after figuring out how your password manager was compromised. Hint: You either used the wrong password manager (i.e., anything other than KeePass), you used a shitty master password, or you opened your password database on a compromised box.
We know how to make wormholes. It's just a matter of compressing spacetime. Making spacetime surrounding the wormhole not compress and making the compressed path between the endpoints not fuck up anything you care about is just engineering.
Get enough super dense matter together and build a tube from point A way up into the sky and then back down to point B. That path will will have spacetime compressed as shit. Then you need to build some sort of shell outside the tube to counteract the effect of the tube on spacetime outside the tube. Kind of like handling skin effects with electricity? Surely in a few years we'll be able to miniaturize by intertwining tubes of dense mass and tubes of dense negative mass for a more self-contained approach. All you need for passengers to move about safely is to ensure a gradual slope of gravity all the way through. Spacetime would have its peak distortion at the mid point, and little to no distortion at the exits. People already have enough trouble getting on and off moving walkways at the airport, so I'd suggest nothing more extreme than that instantaneous change.
This is actually just blending real photos from a database. It's not generating anything from scratch, it's progressively layering bits of various photos together and blending. They start low res and then add in details at higher res. Some of the results show this as the general shape looks fucked up or kind of fuzzy at a high contrast edge (jawline or hair line), but the lips and especially the eyes look perfect.
NVIDIA took a database of photographs of famous people and used that to train its system. By working together, the neural networks were able to produce fake images that are nearly indistinguishable from real human photographs.
In the samples you can clearly recognize some celebrities such as Adam Sandler's and Zoey Deschanel's contributing large chunks of an image.
It's still putting out mostly great results, but it's not generating these from scratch. It's playing Mr. Potato Head.
Define the corruption and quantify it. Then show how it is fair to restrict groups of people from spending money to speak while not restricting an individual from doing the same (which you cannot due because of that bill of rights thingy).
Money in politics is absolutely a problem. But there's no easy way to stop it without shitting on the constitution.
Nearly every smartphone since the iPhone has followed the iPhone template and the ones that haven't have failed to find customers. My statement stands You may have had phones with technically more "features" than the early iPhones but not usable ones in most cases. There was NOTHING before the iPhone that was worth a shit for browsing the web and they weren't well integrated devices. The Blackberry did email fairly well but not much else. Nokia was the leading smartphone maker at the time and their smartphones phones SUCKED to actually use. I know because I was using Nokia "smartphones" at the time - they technically had the features but good luck being productive with them. Microsoft's Windows phones were sort of slightly better versions of Palm devices but the interface still sucked. Microsoft was trying to cram desktop windows into a phone form factor and it never worked. Android hadn't really hit the scene yet and the other smartphones out there were more or less inconsequential and sucked.
Wrong, my Win Mo 5/6 devices were far more feature filled and far more usable than the iPhone at the time. It had a full web browser, including the ability to copy and paste and upload files from the device. And if I wanted a better web browser I could run Opera. And I had fully-functional GPS via an external receiver and navigation via an application I paid for. Yup! I could buy and use 3rd party software! We just didn't call them "apps" at the time because we weren't fucking retards.
The only bad thing about the interface was scrolling through the nested menus. Thankfully, my devices had thumbwheels, dedicated arrow keys, several customizable shortcut keys, and full fucking keyboards. So I rarely had to dig through them to get shit done.
And the apps ecosystem. And multi-touch. And the form factor. And the music store. And MP3 player integration. And usable photo sharing. And google maps (first to use it) and Youtube on a mobile device. And Gorilla Glass. And actual usable web browsing on a smartphone. And virtual assistants (Siri). And visual voicemail. And Facetime. And more. If you think a touch screen and lack of buttons was all they did then you really aren't paying any attention. If you want to criticize Apple there is plenty to pick from but don't trot out that tired nonsense that all they did was round some corners. They weren't the only company doing innovative things but Apple was the company that found the winning formula for the modern smartphone. To pretend otherwise is to deny reality.
Like I said, I had "apps". I just didn't call them "apps", and MS didn't take 30% for hosting a walled garden. I could run whatever I damn well pleased on my device! The form factor was about the same - a fucking rectangle - with the key differences being the lack of a touch screen and inclusion of the physical keyboard. I already mentioned both of those. And to this day I think a physical keyboard is far more usable than any touch screen. Of course, back in the day they had touch screen devices if you wanted them. Accurate ones (resistive) instead of the sloppy capacitive crap that showed up on early iDevices.
I had a music store - any damn one I pleased. I had an MP3 player. I had removable storage. I had 3G. I had tethering. I had unlimited data (TRULY unlimited data). I had photo sharing too - I had MMS years before the iPhone did, I had full email, I had full internet, I had removable storage, I had 3rd party software, I had wifi, I had a file manager, I had bluetooth, etc. But you'll come and say none of that was "usable" for some reason. Google maps? Again, I had the internet. Youtube? Gorilla Glass? Visual voicemail? Facetime? You're just listing fucking bullet points from some Steve Jobs presentation now, aren't you? I don't give a shit about video calls. But again, there was software to do that if I wanted to. No, my devices had plastic screens. They never shattered. And in 5+ years of use each, none developed more than a minor scratch. If I had cared, I would have put a screen protector on them.
You're a fool if you think Apple has innovated anything other than removing standard features and getting fangirls like yourself to eat it up.
What objective and fair justification can you give for restricting an individual's right of free speech? (Hint: There is none.) What objective and fair justification can you give for restricting a group's right of free speech? (Hint: A group, such as a corporation, is a collection of individuals.)

No, this is about the AC statement:
There is no organism that lays spare parts in cold storage and then swaps them out when parts wear out. We however could eventually make spare parts.
