A lot of the moves that new administration suggested as making things better for the US worker, actually undermines the USA's position in the world and actually will end up potentially hurting jobs. Often the "take it all" approach it actually the less ideal position of giving up a little.
Helping NATO's members and the UN, while maybe not the best sounding when it comes to money, it does end up allowing the US to have sway over the politics of other countries and therefore help keep the US as a focal point for business.
The worst offender is Apple's iCloud, IMHzo. Backup your photos onto your own drive: I can offers you hoops and dead-ends. I really feel cloud services should provide easy options.
Given the regulatory requirements this makes sense. At one major US financial institution, where I worked, this is the norm, because the risk of information leakage is an issue. You even need to use application such as Mobile Iron or Good for accessing company e-mail. Company issued iPhones had the the essentials an nothing more, with certificates limiting what you could do with the phone.
At the same time, there was a move towards BYOD, which does provide a bit of a chink in the wall, but still requires Mobile Iron or Good for accessing company e-mail and a certificate limiting certain operations. You can't copy/paste from Mobile Iron or Good, for example.
These companies need to show to regulators that they are meeting requirements and maybe even going slightly beyond. All e-mail in and out is recorded for 7 years.
One challenge I have with npm are the dead projects and the apparent inability to take over the dead project, even if your project has become the accepted source of truth in GitHub. The workaround is to create a new package, but that just adds to the confusion.
It would be nice if there was a way for a project to either be flagged as possibly dead or require some other mechanism to red flag a project, either automated or via reporting.
I am guessing most developers aren't that good at multi-threading. For most jobs it isn't necessary, and when it is someone will do a good enough job or find the developer or library that will take care of it.
If you ever do multi-core GPGPU you see there is a threshold below which just using the CPU is good enough and may be faster. Part of that is that you only really benefit from the GPGPU if the processing queue is kept full.
Then there are languages such as NodeJS which are single threaded and when you need to parralize it is via separate processes, so you really need to reduce the inter-process chatter.
In this case, the browser design is likely to provide a hint to how the process are being used. The OS doesn't have that contextual information, so for it is just another process. While not perfect, there are likely to be hints that can be used. For example a browser that just relaunched with 30 tabs open (I have seen that), may want to default to only spawning processes, representing tab that have been visited by the user in the current session.
One of the issues today is sleeping or stopping of the processes of tabs that haven't been used in a while. I don't believe Chrome does this and would suspect it is one of the causes of making it heavy in terms of resources?
The phrase "it would be unable reliably to match the two companies' user accounts" stands out. Given the data mining capabilities of these corporations, I can't quite believe that. That matching phone number in both Whatsapp and Facebook, nah there is not way we could use that as a linking piece of data?
Then again they would probably prefer to be in court for that, than for one of their phones causing bodily harm. There is a fair chance they would win, given even the FAA considers it a danger.
Adding to this that a recent analysis indicates that the battery stress tolerances in the phone are beyond acceptable, it would they work out to be a potentially ticking time bomb.
I wonder whether making the source code of these probes available to the public, for vetting would help spot bugs like these? I am also curious whether releasing the code would be problematic for any reason?
Does anyone have any information on when we should starting seeing cellphones support Galileo? Most phones I have seen only support GPS and GLONASS. There are other constellations out there, but they aren't really supported.
There are certainly valid uses, and this may be a case of throwing out the baby with the bath water, but now the challenge is how to whitelist approved sources, given the nature of BitTorrent?
The healthier compromise would be admitting they don't have the cycles and inviting a code contribution. Fork the project and do a pull-request. If the devs don't a contribution, if it fixes an issue and it is of good quality, then maybe it is time to accept the original project is in life support and the fork deserves to be the future?
We have become risk averse to putting people in space, but continue to put them in mines, where far more lose their lives. Is this the side effect of one being too mainstream?
The alternative is to have a different default password for each unit. The challenge there is that it complicates manufacturing since now you need to set it and also print out and label each unit individually. Then again, if each unit already knows about its serial number, then the overhead is probably low?
The issue is the phone would have been under warranty, so they would have had to replace the phone anyhow. They can't say they wouldn't replace the phone if the person published the video. Doing business again with the person is another matter.
The real thing that here is that apparent no one at Samsung Korea or Samsung China had heard about the Streisand Effect?
BTW does anyone know the percentage of catastrophic Note 7 events there were, related to number of sales?
Only broadcast to US IPs? Ok, my VPN endpoint is in the US, why block it then?
Because that is what the content owners ask of them. Netflix needs to balance providing content to people who want it, with the ability to get the content in the first place. Netflix is in a delicate position and has to compromise. It doesn't need to make sense, but it does need to fulfill the criteria of the contract signed.
It is less about fighting the right to access Netflix and more about being able to access an equivalent service, providing content to your region. In many regions either a particular movie/series is not available or there is no suitable legal way to watch any recent content.
If you check their website Apple states 'Sapphire crystal lens cover' in the specs of their phones: http://www.apple.com/ca/iphone... , so if you are trying to scratch the underside claiming sapphire, then you are probably doing something wrong?

Just like the stupid URL display choice in the address bar. Maybe they are secretly wanting to recreate an AOL experience, minus the coasters?
To save some web searching, here is the movie on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?... , and the web site for the production company: http://www.axanarproductions.c...
Looks like we aren't waiting for the Changlings to create the Jem'Hadar. A little on the small scale, but maybe they had to start somewhere?
Maybe I have been watching too much DS9?

Does anyone know if torrents are being set up for replication?

Linus was using a Mac for Linux at one point. I don't know if he still is?
If you have the money, why not buy the hardware you like and run the your preferred OS on it?

Maybe start with the Beagle 2, maybe they are cozying up together? ;)
