Perhaps they've seen Uber ride roughshod over the law and have decided they'll do likewise. Fly the drones and then build a warchest to fight the legal actions until they get what they want.
It's no accident that the range of the drone in the video is 15 miles. The typical major metropolitan area in the United States is about 30 miles across. One depot in the middle of the city, or two at opposite ends, and the vast majority of customers are accessible with no truck at all. That's also why the new drone is a VTOL airplane, complete with wings and a rear propeller. They were chasing that range, and wings was the way to do it.
Drones could probably service a strip mall business and the suburbs but it would be utterly useless in the middle of a city where people live and work in high density units. Besides that the place would be strung with wires, poles, trees, birds, cranes and other hazards. Then you've got flight restricted zones. And adverse weather events. And serious liability issues if a drone comes down on someone's head or gets hijacked / hacked / shot down.
I expect if / whenever such a service starts that someone in Amazon will have to personally vet and approve each delivery location for safety and suitability. Even then I wonder what the use of it is. Someone would have to be in desperate need of an item to pay whatever exorbitant charge goes with having it delivered by drone.
Substituting oat fibre for cellulose isn't going to make any difference to taste or anything else. I doubt it would be any more sustainable either. I can believe that konjac is weird in the mouth since lots of sites carry warnings to drink water because it doesn't dissolve the way other gelatinous products do.
I have no idea what it tastes like because its ludicrously expensive. Holland and Barrett sell quite a few brands of it. Most are packaged in watery bags which suggests the noodles themselves are saturated with water and lose their cohesion if they're allowed to dry out.
Snowden has already been charged with espionage offences. The constitution wouldn't save him if he were to set foot somewhere he could be extradited from.
C became predominant because code ran faster, was generally more portable (more commonality, less proprietary extensions between competing compilers), more terse / expressive, was better able to talk with the operating system (strings, structs etc.), was the defacto language on some operating systems and it was the first system programming language many people encountered.
Pascal eventually overcame many of its shortcomings but by then it was too late. C (and the emerging C++) had already gained dominance and mindshare.
Well if it works fine, why do you care what a future KDE does? Stick with what you have. And if by chance you do update to a KDE that relies on systemd you will find it continues to work fine but without KDE being burdened with crud to deal with various things that systemd now takes care of.
I presently have 120 games on steam. Of those only about 25 are available on Linux, mostly Indies. Of those I've tried 5 or 6 and 2 of them were unplayable. Don't Starve overlaid the game with weird steam controller diagnostics. Goat Simulator ran for 5 seconds before hard crashing my entire laptop. I assume the latter was because the game did something my opensource Intel GPU driver didn't agree with.
If Steam support Linux at all it's only coincidental to their efforts to make this handful work on certified SteamOS machines, or more realistically on whatever cloud platform Valve are cooking up. Other Linux systems can go hang.
If someone doesn't want their modern desktop to run with modern underpinnings they should fork it. I'm sure KDE wouldn't mind - in fact they might welcome it since it simplifies their code base. They can make systemd a core dependency on Linux, remove heaps of cruft and refer the objectors in the direction of the fork.
Security services are more than capable of shutting down accounts / sites if they feel so inclined. I assume they don't because it's of more use to keep them up - to see who makes posts, who follows them, who is mapped to who, how information spreads, to look for surges in activity, or codewords and so on. In time they might shut down the account / site, or infiltrate it but it would be to maximize their advantage. I bet some of the sites are even their own operations to begin with.
But that assumes there aren't a bunch of asshats getting in the way the whole time. Which there now are. If anonymous wanted to be of use in the fight on terror they'd stay out of the way or do something passive.
Because the PC isn't a console. It isn't a closed platform. It isn't loss leading with profits expected to come from the sale of games. A console is. The likes of Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft sink billions into developing consoles with the expectation of a return over their lifetime.
It should be quite obvious to anyone why Sony disabled Other OS. It wasn't because of the handful of people who actually used it (and I was one of those unlike the vast % of people complaining) or even those running MAME or SNES emulators. It was the imminent threat of a perfected hypervisor crack that people could download, burn, run and crack their PS3 via Other OS.
The decision to remove the attack vector was hardly a difficult one.
Maybe get them to sew a little crescent moon on their clothes. And tracking is so, so hard and would be easier if we could segregate them into areas with high walls and guard towers. Obviously this will be disruptive so by way of compensation we can build them an excellent rail network which transports them to a "holiday" destination so wonderful they'll never come.
I have about 8 or so PS2 titles in my cupboard which would be nice to play. But I doubt Sony have any intention of opening up the emulation so I can run them on a PS4. They make too much money selling "remastered" titles, and from packaging up titles to sell on PSN, or via their cloud service. At least they recoup their investment from testing games and making their money in that way. Just opening up emulation on the console doesn't earn them a thing unless they intend to charge people a few coins to "unlock" a supported game. Otherwise the money isn't there for them to open up the emulator. I'd be happily surprised if they did of course but I don't see it happening.
What I want to know is when are they adding "Other OS" back?
What I want to know is how many people whining about Other OS being removed ever used it or realized the limitations to it in the first place. Or understood the implications for their console (saturation levels of piracy and a death spiral into shovelware) if it had allowed to remain in place.
Perl does not enforce anything from a structural standpoint. That's the problem - it is a terse language and without structure or enforcement it leads to opaque and unstructured code. Code which can be impossible to maintain. That's why it occupies a niche and that's why it is unlikely to go any further than that.
Not really. It's challenging people to find weaknesses in their products that they clearly haven't discovered themselves and be rewarded for doing so. It's not a new concept. Locksmiths have been challenging people to pick locks, open safes for centuries.

$500,000 per episode. Are they setting it in Downton Abbey with the complete cast?
I expect most people would prefer the truck over something unexpectedly landing on their head.

You're right. It wasn't. Nutcase.

I've heard of Atheos but not Syllable. I'm surprised the list didn't include some interesting, highly esoteric choices though. TempleOS for example.

Linux have the support of a handful of new games (as a side effect of SteamOS being a Linux derivative), many of which will be extremely badly tested.

Maybe the CIA should whip up a batch of viagra laced with ricin and red dye and distribute it to some of these morons.
Gah the link disappeared.

I bet the US government has infiltrated a lot of these sites and gets far more intelligence from them staying up than from taking them down.
