So what you're saying is that the backwards states pollute a lot. Gee, whodathunkit. Sadly, your crude assessment clearly designed to make electric cars look bad is rather... laughable. You include transmission losses for electricity, but not distribution pollution/losses for gas? Nor refining? You assume that ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of your electricity comes from coal? You assume that efficiency between electricity and gas is in any way comparable? I could go on, but I doubt you care about that.
Problem is that this case could repeat itself for any company operating in the US, even if the entire hosting is in the EU. EU-based cloud hosts would have to NEVER do business in the US in order to be off-limits, basically (and even then I'm sure they could find a reason).
To both cases: this is why organizations like Interpol exist. So a police force from one country can work in tandem with another to solve a case that crosses national borders. If the US want data stored in an Ireland server, they should work with the police there to get it, instead of saying that their jurisdiction extends worldwide unilaterally.
Not to encourage competition, to encourage THEIR horse in the race. You can be fucking sure that if it were a Chinese corporation with the monopoly (a real one), they'd be heralded as champions of Chinese ingenuity or something.
It's not a "CS club", it's one of the largest academic communities in the world. Their weight varies by discipline, but in mine (computer graphics) they're ubiquitous: SIGGRAPH is run by the ACM. That's a conference with tens of thousands of attendees every year where major companies like Microsoft, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Autodesk and more go to show off their new research and products, both hardware and software.
The problem the ACM has is that joining has little incentive if you don't go to a conference. If you do, especially as a student, the steep discount makes it more than worth it, but otherwise there's little to gain that cannot be had elsewhere. Computer science in general has always been strong on giving out pre-prints of articles published in journals and conference proceedings, so you rarely need privileged access to eg. the ACM's publications. Their newsletter is neat in that they give job listings that I probably would have a hard time finding elsewhere, being so very focused, yet it's not particularly useful due to geographical spread and it's most certainly not worth the standard admission fee. I've had no incentive to dig around and figure out what else a membership offers, which goes to show...
If we "someday" discover that radioactive decay is not inherently random and unpredictable to an atomic level, it'd mean we suddenly contradict a hundred years of scientific research, models and theories. While not impossible, your post implies that there's a model and we just don't know it; the truth is that it's extremely unlikely to be the case.
Except if you wanted to do that, you'd report the bugs to the TOR developers. Russia would NEVER forward those bug reports, so all you'd manage is to let Russia exploit a flaw without allowing the TOR developers to know about it. You'd make TOR worse out of selfish greed.
It's a great idea until they smarten up a bit and get some external people (hello Mechanical Turk!) to do the edits instead. Fortunately, that leaves us a solid decade or two.
The big deal ain't the range, it's the range considering the battery. The highest range Model S has an 85 kWh battery, rated for 265 miles (426km). This eVe has a 16 kWh battery, yet manages 310 miles (500km). That's a massive difference, especially when you consider that battery charge time is one of the big downsides of electric cars right now. Obviously, the smaller the battery, the faster the charge. Alternatively, you can keep the same size battery but quadruple the range. Oh, and this doesn't even factor the solar panels.
The point of cars like this is to maximize efficiency. Then, you try to take what you've learned making it and apply that to production cars.
A tweet and (I presume) some heated words and you get them off the airplane and threaten to call the cops? If this were about his behavior, that'd be one thing, but no: he was allowed to board the plane after removing the tweet. This is purely the SWA personnel not wanting to look bad, and doing an absolutely inexcusable thing in the process.
That's not true. The Xbox One uses a hypervisor, based on the latest Hyper-V, to run two kernels: the Xbox kernel and a Windows kernel. They're both permanently online to allow for instant switching to the main menu. I've seen very little details as to the origin and evolution of the Xbox kernel, so I have a hard time simply acknowledging an unsourced claim that it's still derived from the original Xbox kernel. Since the tech behind it is DirectX 11 level, with multicore support as a first priority, it makes little sense to use something that old and unsuited.
They're not fluff. They're just not about getting a job, but about getting an education. If all you want is a degree, go to a technical school. You'll be happy. University is (or rather, should be) for people who want to learn and expand their knowledge, even in fields unrelated with what they hope to be doing once they graduate.
The "4 years places" you speak of so lowly may not have professors doing IT work, but they have highly knowledgeable researchers who have done stuff you wouldn't even be able to grasp for years, often decades. They're just not the people I'd ask about IT.
I frankly doubt that not using sonic cannons to look for new sources of oil would be an extinction level event. The GP is exaggerating, but so are you.
This. As is often the case with/., it's an all or nothing deal. There's no way in hell that anything the publishers or record labels provide the authors and artists could actually be worthwhile. What antiquated notion! Anybody can produce a bestseller in their bedroom or record the best label of the year in their garage.
Editors are very important. They're the sanity check of the author. They're a reliable and honest reader. They help form the books by taking the often jumbled and incoherent source material that was jotted down in hundreds of sittings, sometimes in the wrong order, and shaping that into the final product. While some authors can do without them, few books would be just as good (let alone better) without an editor's involvement. This is also why good publishers can be distinguished from bad publishers on multiple levels, not just on who they sign up.
The same thing can be said about record labels, but I'm not going to go into detail. The point is: YES the publishers, record labels and all that have been exploiting content creators and taking a much too large part of the pie. That does not however mean that they are of no use whatsoever.
I'm guessing because A) Japanese manufacturers have been focusing on fuel cells and B) electricity in Japan is quite expensive, reducing incentive to use it. Japan's power grid is also fairly strange and I'm not sure it'd be able to bear heavy electric car usage.
And that's also the case for the US. Wait, you think Massachusetts and Texas have the same values? I could pull any two states and the discrepancies would be fairly large. The US is just as much of a patchwork of political and cultural lineage as Europe is, the major difference being that they all speak (mostly) the same language.
If you're an audiophile, you're probably using USB audio or S/PDIF, which don't need a discrete sound card, paired with an external DAC worth many times the price of a Creative soundcard and without the extraneous bells and whistles. If you're a gamer, you're on a headset, often again USB. If you're an average user, your speakers are too crappy to notice the difference.
As far as I can tell, the only use case that truly benefits from a discrete card is 5.1+ surround systems which support the latest Dolby/DTS techs, as those often aren't supported by onboard sound.

Doesn't help that the first time you write it, you say "Godi" instead of "Kodi"... So much for memorability, right?

Go ahead and enjoy your Hummer.
Well, he is coming into the country with a biological weapon...

You wouldn't have to do business in the country for them to attempt to subpoena you, mind. They can fabricate a reason for doing so.

It's still a pretty shitty name though. I wonder if the scientists are bummed about the realization.

If progress means the end of books (be they virtual or physical) and the decay of culture around the globe, I don't want your progress.

So it's basically like real life?
Oh, so you've been browsing the internet.
I'm not a fan of FiiO, but it's definitely better than what you could get from onboard audio.
If you're an audiophile, you're probably using USB audio or S/PDIF, which don't need a discrete sound card, paired with an external DAC worth many times the price of a Creative soundcard and without the extraneous bells and whistles.
