eg. I have a 5GHz access point for my devices that support it, and a 2.5GHz access point for those that don't. I'm able to set my 6GHz band to N-only and my 2.5GHz band to G-only because all the devices I have on it support G. I'm able to effectively disable A/B support and speed up my network.
Start shipping routers with A/B disabled, and make it an easy checkbox in the forced setup to enable "legacy" devices.
No need to drop the functionality entirely is there?
Slaughtering is the killing. Butchering is the carving up into discreet parts.
Just because the slaughter at the cove, doesn't mean they butcher it there. Generally speaking, the sanitary conditions for slaughter don't matter much (assuming you aren't packing the carcass with fecal waste) whereas sanitary conditions for butchering are highly important for food safety.
And for extending your library to your scattered TVs, there's a free Plex app for Roku. (not to mention the Android, iOS, Windows Media Center, and various Smart TV apps)
Oh, and any libraries shared by Plex are also shared via DNLA, so any DNLA-capabale device (again, Smart TVs, XBox, stereo systems, etc) can access the content.
I don't know how well Plex handles audio libraries, but I don't use it for that, and honestly I don't think managing and sharing an audio library is quite the same challenge as a video library.
On paper, the get-a-booth strategy makes sense—aside from SXSW, CES hosts possibly the greatest concentration of tech journalists in a relatively small space.
That's exactly why a startup should be at CES.
So not only does your Nike FuelBand knockoff need to compete against a hundred other 'smart bracelets' on display
And thats exactly why if your business model relies on being a copycat product, you should probably rethink your startup. If CES is truly your wakeup call in this regard, well, at least you found out before shipping a product...
But in a certain way, you can't blame the startups: at some point, someone told them that CES is the best way to get their company noticed, even if it means blowing the equivalent of three employees' yearly salaries.
The important thing (for any conference) is to realize why you specifically are there, and what you specifically want to get out of it. If you're going just because it's your industry and you think you should be there, then your priorities are messed up and you're wasting your money.
I always use the mirror flip for night driving, as that's what it's there for.
Sometimes though, it isn't enough. Between tailgating SUVs, people with replaced headlight bulbs, and assholes who are driving with their high beams on, you can still get painful lights in your rear-view mirror.
Also, how many of the GPU-accelerated apps can also make full use of a 12-core CPU?
The two biggest categories of apps that can take advantage of multiple high-powered GPUs and all those processors are: 1) Video editing/compositing software, and 2) 3D Modeling/animation/rendering programs.
I was doing work 12 years ago on a dual-proc 350MHz P3 Xeon that would still use up all the GPU and CPU availability on this new monster of a machine. Until photo-realistic Virtual Reality is possible in real-time, there will always be demand for capabilities that far outstrip your consumer desktop.
Unjust can be unfair or inappropriate conviction and/or punishment.
For example, if a person is convicted, and applied a sentence, but mitigating factors were not considered in either their conviction or sentencing, that could be an unjust conviction or an unjust punishment.
In Turing's case, his self-confession in the process of reporting a crime against him, his patriotism, his position of responsibility, and his unique contributions could all have been mitigating factors that were not reflected in his sentencing or conviction. Hence, a possibly unjust conviction.
The fact that laws at that time defined this action as criminal does not make it criminal per se.
Actually, that's exactly what it does. Lawbreaking (and conviction) is what makes an act criminal.
Whether or not a law is just, morally right, or ethical (all different things, by the way) has no bearing on whether violation of the law makes you a criminal.
He was convicted of a crime. Ego, by definition, he was a criminal. He was unjustly convicted of an crime against the moral standards of the time as defined in law. Today we see that law as unethical, and pardoning him posthumously is the only just action we can take. However, we should extend the same pardon to anyone convicted under the same crime. His patriotism and contributions to computing shouldn't be the driving argument for his individual pardon.
I deal with 5-7 different languages on a daily basis (not to mention a myriad of different pieces of technical software, build systems, databases, client applications, etc). Off the top of my head, I can't tell you what the syntax is for the mod command in any of those languages.
Hell, before reading up on Fizzbuzz, I didn't know about mod because I have never needed it.
Fizzbuzz is a stupid test that's only going to find you people who know (and have used) mod in the language of choice. If you need people with critical thinking skills, motivation to self-improve, and ability to research and find solutions in unfamiliar platforms, nothing beats an in-person interview.
If you just want someone who's a heads-down developer who can't see the forest for the trees, by all means, give the Fizzbuzz.
There are legitimate use cases for businesses mass-sending email. Thinks like "your monthly statement is ready".
These all use the tracking pixel because it's the only way to get any kind of data about the open rates for your email. And yes, marketers and communication managers understand the ramifications of how this hurts their overall open rate.
An average open rate in the industry is about 15%.... anything over 20% is considered really good.
They rewrite the HTML on the fly as it's displayed in the Gmail web interface. Reports so far show they aren't rewriting the original email, so 3rd party clients aren't affected.
Granted, if they can do it on the fly at display time right now, then in the future it would be trivial to do it on the receiving step instead.
Google isn't prefetching the images. They're dynamically rewriting the email's HTML to use their servers as a proxy when you open the email in Gmail's web interface.
Many email clients do not support return receipt. That's an extension to the basic email protocol added by Microsoft and is not widely supported outside of Outlook.
This summary is garbage and complete misrepresents the implications of Gmail's change. (I already researched this last week and developed a solution to avoid cacheing with in-progress email images that might get replaced with final versions)
Every singe email marketing system already uses a unique image URL to identify a given recipient. This is frequently called a "tracking pixel" because it's usually a 1px transparent gif stuck in the corner of an email where it won't be distracting. In fact, this method has been used for web tracking as well for many years. It's how Google Analytics originally worked.
Since these unique images will still get loaded when an email is opened in Gmail, marketers will still be able to track your opens. What they won't see, however, is how many times you re-opened the email. And since the image gets cached and requested through Gmail's proxy, marketers won't get information about your machine like browser, IP address, etc. But if you click-through on a link, or you visited their site before (highly likely if you're on their mailing list) then they have most of that info anyways.
This caching by Gmail is primarily to speed up Gmail since it means images can be loaded and shared on Google's Content Delivery Network which is almost certainly faster than servers owned by the email campaign provider for image hosting.
You know that the "tell us a tax amount" is a thing that other countries can do because of unified national identity databases, right? In some places, you don't have to "do your taxes". The government just sends you a bill for what they didn't take out over the year.
No, it's because their tax code isn't so bloated and screwed up as ours. Printed on 8.5x11, the US tax code is 74,000 pages long (well, actually 73,954).
The fact that the IRS can come knocking on your door and send you fines for not filing your taxes is pretty clear that they don't need a cross-agency centralized national identity database to do so.
If you're driving a factory-stock car at the strip to preserve your factory warranty, then the temperature of your tires is not going to be the deciding factor in your performance.
Just understanding that you can automate a ton of pointless crap by using Excel formulas would remove so much trivially stupid data entry work out there.
Considering under the last pope (Benedict) there was a noticeable shift in diocesan policies towards conservative* agendas, I wouldn't be surprised to see a shift back towards liberal* policies in line with Pope Francis' guidance. Granted, the subtle changes made by Benedict took time, and most didn't really come into effect until his term was almost over, and there was a lot of popular stuff John Paul II did that he couldn't touch. So yes, the longer Pope Francis sits on the papal throne, the more of his moral compass will affect individual diocesan practices world-wide.
*conservative and liberal used within the context of Roman Catholic dogmatic spectrum, not the American political terms
If you have a gizmo that does A, B, and C, then you can patent it, and how exactly it meets these claims in terms of technology is irrelevant.
Actually how a gizmo does A,B,C is critically important for a patent. As another device can do A,B,C, but in a different way, and it would not violate the patent.
The overall problem with software patents is they define the What (A,B,C) but not the How. So any implementation that accomplishes goals A,B,C is suddenly in violation.

I can think of a lot creepier uses than you suggest as the worst... but I can think of some good ones as well.
Is there a famous personality from history you'd love to have a conversation with? Einstein, Churchill, religious figure, celebrity?
So default to OFF for the older protocols.
eg. I have a 5GHz access point for my devices that support it, and a 2.5GHz access point for those that don't. I'm able to set my 6GHz band to N-only and my 2.5GHz band to G-only because all the devices I have on it support G. I'm able to effectively disable A/B support and speed up my network.

Morals are internal to the perceiving individual. Ethics are applied by an external force.
Please do some research before assuming they're synonymous. We have different words for a reason.

So the author confused .4% with 0.4 (aka 40%) to get the $30M figure. So much for editors in publishing.

If the browser prompted for a password every time it was launched, you'd quickly find that most people would disable the feature.
The need for security like this has to be weighed against the desire for convenience.
