Does the predictive capability really need a cloud connection? I stopped using SwiftKey as soon as I learnt it needed the Internet to function and thus the risk of sensitive data, such as credit card numbers, leaking. Beyond the privacy concern, the fact I can't use while without a data connection did not reassure.
Even if political robocalls are protected, shouldn't there at least be some provision to have all robocaller phone number registered? The idea would be to allow people to a) block them if the so choose b) prevent 'political' [insert product here] robocalls?
Probably more a question of old school businesses who just don't want to get it? There are too many of them in France and too much paper work and risk adversness to create a healthy startup culture.
And should add is only really effective for popular content. Less popular content (where there is only the original seeder sharing) works out to be no better than an http file transfer.
While I didn't find the news article I thought I had read, I did find the Chrome extension 'The Great Suspender', which indicates it 'Automatically suspends unused tabs to free up system resources'. Just installed it in the hope it actually helps - BTW I have no involvement in the creation of this extension, but it does appear to be open source: https://github.com/deanoemcke/...
Wasn't Google Chrome (the browser) meant to introduce a sleep mode to background tabs? Does anyone know whether that was introduced or whether I am confusing the browser product?
At the same time Google Chrome often shows up as 'using significant energy' on my MacBook Air, under MacOS 10.11.5. Has anyone done any profiling to see what aspect of Google Chrome is consuming the CPU? BTW I am one of those tab hoarders, but apparently not as bad as some.
Having previously worked for a large corporation, I found that the costs are always limited to the ticketed price. There are others including employees to run and manage the system; process change; new audits; infrastructure; politics; expertise; training; software limitations leading to longer execution time.
Sometimes saving money leads to spending more money and creating more headaches. Not always, but you do need to understand the nature of the environment you are dealing with.
In our particular case we had a lab where we believed we would be doing good for the company with the $200/month network connection vs the $1000/month connection. Boy were we wrong. The $1000/month connection would have saved so much trouble with internal resources, even if the $200/month connection would have worked just as well.
With the way things are going I feel we are getting closer to the description of 1984, than ever. Brexit just allowed the government to be uncountable and the country a non-team player. Who knew George Orwell's vision would start with a nannie state?
I wouldn't call it "remarkable" that it wasn't caught for nearly 15 years. It actually makes sense, as the assumption was that 089 to 100 wouldn't include 10B, 10C, etc. Those kinds of mistakes can happen, and very easily. Just goes to show that you should be more explicit with how you filter data, in many cases.
Also, if a business rule changes previous assumptions there is a need to understand the impact. The issue there, though, is for whatever reason this may have been overlooked either because the original coders had moved on or the is a belief that it is just a set of new values that couldn't possibly impact anything?
Real programmers know they might have to support their own code, that was developed 6 months earlier. Who knows what brainwave occurred and what was then quickly forgotten?
Sign of the times: people who voted against Brexit are considering taking on other European nationalities and we may see some US Americans looking north of the border for future prospects. How did we get to a point where we have both an uninformed population and a group of politicians that we realise we are screwed no matter what we do?
I believe part of the issue in the US electoral system is that it requires too much money to play and even then the inner-workings may hurt you. Take Bernie as an example, even if he was to win by popular support, unless he stood as an independent the democratic party was more willing to play to Hilary. As an independent, I am not sure whether the democratic system in the US would even give him a chance, with the notion of a 'wasted vote'. Also, while the system could be improved, I am not sure the politicians really want to fix it?
Just curious have any of you been faced with having to train an H-1B and told their now-former employer where to put it? Would refusing to train an H-1B cause issues for future employment?
They shouldn't care what the underlying infrastructure is, as long as it gets then there. At the same time IPv6 support does provide some geek cred and one less unknown to deal with.
Everybody should be using it, but nobody does. This has been the steady state for what, 20 years? We probably should re-do the thing and skip to IPv9 witha less grandiose than this second system but a nice and functional third. Perhaps with a different crew this time. That'd be nice.
What non-breaking technological solutions are you proposing?
Compact disks took 20 years from invention to mass market. In that light IPv6 isn't doing too badly. To say it has failed is narrow minded and doesn't consider that like a snowball it is slow to start and like a snowball if you don't get on board you'll just be hurting yourself once it really gets moving.
Chances are this goal may incentivize companies to resolve this challenge? Also, given Norway is a large oil producing country, we may simply see oil being redirected to other needs, rather than eliminated completely and as an energy source?
What "ALREADY FUCKING WORKS"? Applications already receive notifications to save their state when the user is being logged out or "Windows style" simply loses anything that was active without notification?
Jesus titty fucking Christ. We background the process on logout and use the resources the user has already been fucking assigned anyway. Simple. No complex saving of state which wouldn't work anyway if you're using network connections. No new APIs. No new complexity. Done. Sorted.
If you are backgrounding all the process, why even bother logging out? What you are describing appears more along locking the screen than sending a message to the system that you are done. BTW MacOS X already provides a way of saving state and liberating resources, so it can't be that hard. It maybe well that the way that the way it has been implemented by systemd may not have been the best way, but there are certainly valid arguments from both sides of the proverbial fence.
In a shared desktop environment you often only want the process of the currently logged-user and authorised daemon tasks. Anything else is consuming CPU cycles that are perceived as getting in the way of the person using the system.
As to resources being saved: CPU, memory & power. There are an increasing number of offices that will put their machines to sleep at night, once idle after a certain period. If you needed you process to be working outside of your session, then you probably want to be running this on a server or stay logged in.

Maybe the Google AI is actually expecting academics to have already been replaced by robots, so is rejecting anyone who may appear to be human? This is the first step towards sky net.
Wouldn't it be better to save state on logout and restore on login? This would provide the balance between saving system resources and allowing a user to start off where they left off. Of course applications would need to be aware of state saving. Is there already some sort of API for this?
There are cases where you fight companies in law courts and the others you fight them in the media, then again they may be so scummy that they don't get care how people view them?
Sure seems like it would cost a lot more than $35k.
True, but that means the employee(s) would make way, way less than $15/hr. at their new job - stamping out license plates in prison.
Pretty sure that's not what most folks would want to end up doing...
So essentially moving the cost burden from the private industry to the state? Always find it curious that we oppose elements of a social system and then end up paying for it anyhow, but in some other way.

It is, since how otherwise do you describe "a large amount of water that moves very quickly in one direction" (m-w entry)?

Especially if the web interface was essentially a vt100 interface wrapped in a REST service.
